Kevin. Durant's stats this season are indeed very good, averaging 28.1 points, 4.9 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game. To be honest, his stats are not at the same level as the others in the best second team.

But Link's 26.9 points, 6.4 assists, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks during the regular season were more comprehensive, and most importantly, Link also led the team to a historic 70 wins, which is a very big plus.

Therefore, it is not impossible for Link to be selected for the best team, he is fully qualified.

It can only be said that the gap between Link and Durant is indeed not big. So, it's not that Link squeezes Durant into the second team and he can really crush Durant.

Therefore, Thunder fans are looking forward to Durant's hammering Link into doubt today!

Link naturally has to defend his honor, and of course, the most important thing is that he has to win this game and return to Memphis with a 3-1 scoreline.

The further back it drags on, the more dangerous the situation will become.

The Grizzlies attacked for the first time, and Link didn't have the ball. He pinned down the Thunder's defense in the bottom right corner, and then Conley hoisted the ball to Gasol for a single.

Gasol is definitely the most underrated player of the year, and before you know it, he has already won three individual honours. The Defensive Player of the Year, Second Team of the Year and Second Team of the Year were all won by Gasol.

Double two formation DOPY, this is not an achievement that any cat or dog can get.

While people are debating who is more qualified to be selected for the best team between Durant and Link, Gasol, the best second-team center, is the first to attack.

He leaned on Perkins in the low post and slowly turned to the rim to hold the ball. Perkins didn't know whether to defend or shoot, and just as he was making a move, the Spaniard suddenly raised his basketball and made a jumper!

Many technical centers with tall and long arms love to use this trick, and Gasol's sudden shot left Perkins with no time to react, so he couldn't interfere in the first place.

Gasol took advantage of the timing difference, and he hit the ball firmly to get the Grizzlies off to a flying start.

"Are you going to just hide behind your teammates? Coward! "Durant squirted, and today he was really angry, as if he wanted to go straight to Link.

No, maybe he wanted to put on his gloves and solve the problem with Link directly.

Link ignored Durant's invective, he just kept telling himself, calm down, calm down or calm down!

Switching to the Thunder's offense, the shouts at the Chesapeake Energy Arena were so fierce that Link even felt as if the wooden floor was shaking under his feet.

The message from the Thunder fans was simple, "We're going to sit down now, you can't stop this!" Link's pre-match boast of Haikou is now about to be punctured! ”

Link gritted his teeth, it was not easy to defend against the Thunder's offense. Indeed, in the first game of the series, the Grizzlies allowed the Thunder to go five minutes without a goal in the opening game. But the thunder at that time was not as angry as it is now.

Durant didn't talk any more nonsense with Link, and just after halftime, he began to run according to the tactical line.

Durant cuts into the restricted area with the intention of going around the baseline to outside the three-point line on the right. Going to the bottom line is arguably the easiest way to get rid of opposing defenders, as the box is usually quite crowded and has "natural" obstacles.

But instead of choosing to walk through the crowd, Link went straight around the bottom line! Doing so will increase the distance of the run, but Link believes in his current speed!

Durant had just received the basketball and was about to make a shot, but Link pounced on it without leaking!

"That's a good defense, Link's concentration is very focused!" Mike. Brin applauded, and it wasn't for nothing that Link was named to the All-Defensive First Team and All-First Team.

Sometimes, the quality of a player cannot be judged by a simple comparison of data.

Link has a lot of performance that can't be fully reflected in the data, and it's very powerful indeed.

Durant was a little anxious, and although Link followed in time, he still caught the ball and shot.

Link sealed it tightly, but the distance was extremely well controlled, and there were no fouls. Durant had to increase the arc of his shot in order to avoid the block, but in doing so, the ball that could have been scored was knocked to the front of the basket because of the change in arc!

"Bang!"

The basketball knocked out of the frame, and the Thunder attack missed!

Suddenly, there was a sigh from the audience, and countless Thunder fans covered their heads with their hands in frustration.

They really didn't get to sit back in the first place!

Link is quite calm, at least calmer than Durant. In the case of the same hard power of the two, all kinds of small details are sometimes the key to determining the outcome of the victory!

Offense and defense switched, the Thunder's retreat was very disciplined, and the Grizzlies couldn't play counterattacks as easily as they did against the Clippers and Rockets.

Link is still in no hurry to score, he is looking for the best chance to score. Fight hard with Durant? Maybe he's going to have to do it at some point, and there's definitely going to be a star-to-star scene in the playoffs.

But that scene is by no means now!

Link kept wandering, looking for a gap at any time. Durant is very defended, and he keeps provoking on his lips.

However, in the second leg, Link still did not score. It was Andre Iguodala who ended up shooting and he got a chance in the bottom right corner.

However, it may be because it was still a little cold at the beginning, Iguodala's three-point shooting, like Durant, was iron.

Durant is overjoyed, this time, he won't miss again!

What a shit best formation player, blow you up!

Durant ran to the front court the moment Iguodala's shot hit the frame, but this time, Westbrook was more excited than Durant.

He hugged the basketball and went inside, without thinking about passing the ball at all!

Durant's emotions can also affect his teammates, especially a teammate like Westbrook who has a clear love-hate relationship.

In his opinion, if Durant is unwilling, he is unwilling, and he will do his best to help Durant win this victory.

Therefore, Westbrook's desire to score today is also extremely high.

But Westbrook made a similar mistake to Durant - not being calm enough!

In fact, Westbrook didn't get too good a breakaway. With Conley blocking, Westbrook's speed suffered. That created an opportunity for Iguodala's reinforcement, who rushed back to the box and blocked Westbrook's layup angle in the air.

Westbrook could only toss the ball to the basket in a very awkward position, but there is no doubt that this is not Westbrook's strong suit.

Once again, the basketball didn't go in, and the raised arms of the Thunder fans hung down.

What's the situation, I don't have to sit this round!

"Link sucks! Link sucks! Link sucks! In an instant, the fans turned their grief into strength and began to boo Link.

Thunder fans believe that Link has shown little in the past few rounds. Although the Grizzlies defended the ball just now, it has nothing to do with Link.

Link naturally knows what the Thunder fans mean, but he is still not in a hurry. It's the thunder that should be in a hurry!

The Grizzlies pressed the halftime again, and Durant became more and more irritable. Today, Durant doesn't seem to be very patient on the defensive end. Now, it is estimated that Durant's mind is full of offense and scoring, overpowering the defense that does not want to be aggrieved.

Link then exchanged hands with Gasol, who was holding the ball, and he finally caught the ball!

Hand over to take the basketball from Gasol's hand, Link took advantage of the situation to kill the basket!

Durant quickly rushed towards Link after bypassing Gasol, and he didn't want Link to score ahead of him!

Link knows that Durant is in a hurry right now, so he must be focusing all his weight forward towards himself.

So, Link faced the menacing Durant and turned around flexibly!

Durant felt like Link was like a loach, sliding past him! And because he rushed too hard, he couldn't hold back in time!

"Beautiful footwork and rhythm on the ball, Link is really the epitome of an all-round striker!"

Mike. While Brin was talking, Link wiped Durant and went straight to the basket!

Ibaka arrived just in time and leaped to his feet, ready to give Link a volleyball hat.

However, Link's board is a high-throwing board, which is as strong as a monster like Ibaka, who averages 3 blocks per game, and can't reach it at all!

The basketball grazed the rebound and refracted into the net, and Link scored the first athletic goal of the day!

"Brilliant goals, beautiful turns, soft high throws for layups, Link's skill is no worse than that of a defender. Link has already scored first, and I don't know when KD will respond! ”

Except for Mike. Outside Brin, almost everyone else in the stands was crying. Because even Thunder fans must admit that the goal just now was really beautiful!

From turning to layup, it's silky smooth! Link looked unhurried, but he seized the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow.

Durant, on the other hand, today feels like he's pushed too hard. Now after being scored by Link, it is estimated that he is even more anxious.

Sure enough, Durant directly took the baseline ball this time and wanted to personally control the ball and advance to counterattack!

The Grizzlies' defense is almost perfect, but if you want to pick a bone in the egg, the black and white bears are not fast to retreat, which is a small flaw.

Durant took advantage of this to complete the impact before the black and white bears defended the restricted area!

He has long hands and feet, and his speed is not slow, and he crossed the half court in two big strides and rushed towards the penalty area!

Link didn't let go either, sticking to Durant's right side the whole time, not allowing him to accelerate comfortably.

But Durant is really powerful, and such a big man is still so solid in handling the ball. In the past, Lin often took advantage of Durant's poor ball control to prescribe the right medicine, and steals Durant many times.

But now, ball control is no longer a shortcoming for Durant.

I saw Durant hit the left side of the basket, but due to Link's presence, Durant couldn't go directly to the basket.

Eventually, he opted to drift in the air on the side of the basket and gently toss the basketball towards the basket.

The ball was close to the basket, and Link was a defender. Therefore, Thunder fans are almost unanimous in agreeing that this goal will definitely go in!

It's time to score, too!

However, the moment Durant threw the ball out, Link jumped to his feet. His reaction speed is fast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he jumped at the same time as Durant.

So, when the basketball thrown by Durant had not yet fully flown up, Link stretched out his long arms and spread his fingers as far as he could. When Durant's body began to fall, Link's body was still rising!

"This ......" Durant's eyes widened, and in the next second, Link's big hand grabbed the basketball that had not yet risen in the air.

A catch on Durant!

"Link just grabbed the ball, how could this be! He's Kevin. Durant! "Mike. Brin had goosebumps all over his body, and the picture was so shocking!

Link grabs the basketball, then takes the ball in his arms and lands steadily!

The audience fell silent, and everyone was stupefied!

"me and keep standing and watching!" In such an environment, Link's loud roar made everyone hear it very clearly!

After calming down for so long, he finally got a chance to vent his emotions.

Again, Link did what he said.
