569: Historical level

After Oklahoma's first loss, the Grizzlies' morale didn't actually suffer too much.

Everyone can feel that there is really no good way for Thunder. In the end, it can only be relied on by Derek. It will be Fischer's outburst as a veteran to stabilize the situation.

Indeed, Durant, Martin and Westbrook are also doing well. But without Fischer and without those four damaging three-pointers, whether the Thunder can win is really another matter.

The players who played the game could perceive the situation on the court better than the most professional commentators, and the Grizzlies players could clearly feel that although the Thunder won yesterday, they were somewhat exhausted.

However, Link is still fully preparing for this match. He didn't want to learn from Durant, so he was slapped in the face by himself when he said cruel things.

The words have been released, so naturally you have to show the corresponding performance.

Link said he wanted to get the Oklahoma City fans to stand a little longer, and they did it a week ago.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder experienced a period of embarrassment of not scoring for 5 minutes at the Federal Express Arena.

As it turned out, the Grizzlies had the ability to make the Thunder completely dumb down in a matter of minutes. That's why Link dared to say that to reporters.

Even if not for the sake of venting, Link and the Grizzlies will have to limit the Thunder's scoring in the next game.

In the last game, the Grizzlies lost because it was too easy for others to score.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to Fischer. By the time he started to care about him, "Old Fish" had already thrown his hand.

In the next game, the Grizzlies must not make the same mistake. Link would rather blow up with Durant than let anyone else interfere in the game.

After Link released his cruel words, he was naturally maliciously hyped by the media. But for those guys' accusations, Link didn't care.

Today, Link does pay special attention to the news. But the reason he follows the news is because today is the day the NBA's All-Defensive Team is released!

Last season, Link was able to draw up a double and two, which is already a remarkable achievement. But this year, Link believes he can definitely go further!

Durant, who is only one year older than him, has already been selected for the best team three times. Now, it's time for Link to accumulate some hard honor of his own.

Until then, the Thunder Media was the first to boast about itself.

"Sergi. Serge Ibaka will certainly be named to the All-Defensive First Team this year. And what about the Grizzlies? There's a good chance that their best defensive player won't even make it to the best second team! ”

"The Best Defensive Team is voted for by the coaches of the 30 teams, and to be honest, it's a lot more professional than the awards voted for by the media! Trust me, no one on the Grizzlies qualifies for the All-Defensive First Team! ”

"The Grizzlies still want us to stand and watch the next game? Hahaha, I think Ibaka made it difficult for the Grizzlies to move! ”

On the Internet, Thunder fans sneered. In their opinion, the Grizzlies are most likely to be selected for the best defensive team, and that is Tony. Alan.

However, Tony. Allen has only been a substitute this season and his playing time has plummeted, so it is likely that he will not be selected.

Excluded Tony. Allen, then, the Grizzlies don't have any players who can be selected for the All-Defensive First Team.

In contrast, the Thunder still have Ibaka, who has been steadily defending for a while, and they are certainly proud.

Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening of the same day, the NBA officially announced the long-awaited roster.

Thunder fans were delighted to find out that Sergi. Ibaka was indeed selected as the king of blocks! For the second year in a row, the powerful striker, who has dual Spanish and Congolese citizenship, was named to the All-Defensive First Team!

But soon, Thunder fans couldn't laugh anymore. To be exact, basketball fans all over the world can't laugh.

They were all choked by the list.

Thunder coach Scott. Brooks has had a lot of headaches these days, and he feels like his hair is going to fall out.

The last round just battled wits with Popovich's old thief, which was enough to burn his brain. It's good to meet the Memphis Grizzlies again.

Although the outside world thinks that the situation has been reversed, the next game of the Thunder is nine out of ten. But Brooks himself knows very well that the Thunder's current situation is quite dangerous.

Fans and journalists can take chances, but not as the head coach of a team.

The current situation is not a question of the Thunder turning over, but a matter of letting the Grizzlies win by one more point in the next game, and they will be able to get the match point!

So, Brooks was under a lot of pressure. Not to mention a game, if he makes a wrong decision in a certain round tomorrow, it could bury the Thunder's efforts for an entire season!

The reporters and fans who are clamoring for a counterattack on the Grizzlies are just standing and talking without backache.

Brooks took a shower after dinner and relaxed. Then, he's going to dive into the Grizzlies' outrageous amount of game footage.

But before that, Brooks first looked at the league's list of the best defensive teams.

Like many fans, Brooks has been waiting for this list for a long time. It's exactly eight o'clock, and the list is probably already announced.

Turning on the news, the first thing Brooks found was that it wasn't five people who made the best team this year, but six!

Thanks to Tyson. Chandler and Joaquin. Noah voted for the same score, so both men were selected for the best defensive team!

Finally, the All-Defensive First Team list was Chandler, Noah, Thunder's Serge Ibaka, James, Paul and ...... Link!

"Sure enough, is this kid selected?" Brooks shook his head, though he didn't vote first for Link when he went to the poll. But as far as he knows, many of his peers have been impressed by Link's defensive performance this season.

In all fairness, Link was selected for the best team, and Brooks was very sure. Whether it's against Durant, James or Anthony this season, Link has put in beautiful defensive performances.

Seeing Link appear in the best defensive lineup, Brooks shook his head slightly. Well, the fans and media who are clamoring that the Grizzlies don't have the best team members are embarrassing again.

Brooks then looked at the results of the All-Defensive Second Team. After reading it, Brooks was stunned.

"Isn't there a mistake making sure the list!?" The thunderous young marshal was talking to himself in his head.

The players who entered the best defensive second team were Duncan of the Spurs and Avery of the Celtics. Bradley, as well as ......

From the Memphis Grizzlies, the thrilling selection of Mark. Gasol, from the Memphis Grizzlies, is still recognized by everyone even if he plays off the bench. Pander to. And, also from the Memphis Grizzlies, although unfortunately not selected as an All-Star this season, Mike is still recognized. Conley!

Grizzly Grizzly Grizzly Bear ...... Of the five people in the best defensive second team, three are from the Grizzlies! Coupled with Link in the Best Defensive Team, the Grizzlies actually have a total of four people selected to the All-Defensive Team this season!

Scott. Brooks gasped, what kind of monster team he was up against!

It's a big deal for a team to have four players named to the All-Defensive Team.

The last time a team had 4 players selected for the All-Defensive Team at the same time was in 1978, and it was still the era when "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar fought on the court!

And the team that made 4 people selected to the best defensive team in a year is the Portland Trail Blazers, who just won the first championship trophy in team history!

Sure enough, defense and championship are always inseparable!

Now, in front of Brooks, the Grizzlies are suddenly a team of historical proportions. 4 people were selected for the All-Defensive Team, which is too perverted!

At this point, the Thunder fans began to panic a little. Maybe tomorrow, they'll really have to stand up for a while before they see the Thunder's first goal......
