Although it was a full bench game, the Thunder team played a board at a glance and was full of discipline.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, because of lack of preparation, did not play their own characteristics on both offensive and defensive ends.

About nine minutes into the first quarter, the Thunder turned out to be the main opponent, leading the Grizzlies by 6 points 18-12, which was a big surprise.

At this time, the game entered the rotation time, and the two sides began to change substitutes one after another.

On the Grizzlies' side, Jerry Bayless, Maris Speight, and Quincy Pondset came on to replace Tony Allen, Randolph and Prince.

On the Thunder's side, Livingston, Bazemore, Collison and O'Quinn all came on the court, leaving only one Middleton in the starter.

"The Thunder's starters got off to an incredible start and their performance was really amazing." The home commentator spoke.

"Yes, they've earned respect, but now, it's time for the Grizzlies to fight back." The commentator also echoed the words.

The Thunder's starters have Kidd, Sofrosa, and Tucker, who can open up space, but now that they are all off the court, two of the four people who have been replaced are rookies who have never played regular time, and they can't hold it during this time.

After coming up for the Grizzlies' offense, Bayless and Bond Setra opened up space, and Conley handed the ball to the free-throw line Gasol single.

After Gasol left the Rockets, he successively developed his own strategy and back playing ability, and in the Grizzlies has become the core player who can become the axis as in his previous life.

"Bang!"

The ball hits the rebound and rolls into the net pocket.

O'Quinn is short after all, and he seems a little helpless in the face of Gasol, who is a head taller than him.

"Kyle, get in the position, don't let him go inside so easily, get to the basket and stretch out his hands!" Tang Tian got up and shouted to O'Quinn at this time.

Rookies are inexperienced, but playing this kind of game is a great opportunity for them to grow.

O'Quinn nodded and ran forward.

The Thunder's frontcourt offense, Livingston's organization.

Middleton had a strong performance before, and the Grizzlies significantly tightened up their defense against him.

Livingston fed the ball to Collison and then dropped low to catch Conley with his back.

Conley was aggressive, but Livingston was tall after all, and his turn back was still picturesque.

"Bang!"

However, the ball was a little unlucky and went off the basket, and the rebound was won by Gasol Jr.

Conley dribbled to the frontcourt, Bayless' ball on the Bazemore, opted for an accelerated break, and after passing Bazemore, he met O'Quin's shot to cause the latter's hitter and send the ball to the basket.

The Thunder's players on the court could clearly feel some frustration.

"This is the strength of the Grizzlies, and the Thunder lineup is really impossible to beat." After seeing it, the home commentator said with a proud expression.

"Don did his best, and the Thunder played respectable enough, but that's the reality, and you have to learn to accept it." The hypothetical guest also chimed in.

Tang Tian called Tucker up at this time and asked him to come on the court to replace O'Quinn.

Bayless hit a free throw, and the Grizzlies went on a 5-0 run to close the deficit to one point.

O'Quinn went off the court, Stevens pulled him and talked about the details of the first two rounds, Tang Tian walked to the sidelines, shouted to his teammates, and then reached out to applaud them: "Believe in yourself and keep your confidence!" ”

"We can do it." Tucker shouted at his teammates as well.

This encouragement came in time, and I could feel that the morale of the Thunder players on the court had obviously returned.

Livingston advanced to the frontcourt, and Tucker blocked Middleton and Bazemore in succession, and his blocking was tough, and Bazemore ran back to cut to the basket to get a chance.

Livingston used to be known as the "successor of the magic", talking about his characteristics, with a height of 2.01 meters and a very good vision, he threw his hand to pass the ball out at the first time.

Bazemore received the ball and made a strong shot directly against Speights, who was assisting in the defense, and after the confrontation, he fell to the ground.

"Toot!"

The referee blows the whistle for Speights' blocking foul.

Tucker and Collison hurried over to pull Bazemore up.

He made two free throws.

The scene of interference shook the sky.

This kind of field is quite a test for rookies.

Bazemore took a deep breath and fired a free throw.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket, but it rolled in.

"Come on!" Tucker continued to reach out to cheer for Bazemore.

Bazemore nodded, took a deep breath, and made a second free throw.

"Huh!"

This time the hollow is in the net.

Bazemore hit both free throws to break the scoring drought for the Thunder.

On the Grizzlies' offensive round, after opening up space, Conley continued to give the ball to Bayless for a single.

Bayless accelerated to squeeze through, but Bazemore learned from his experience this time and forced Bayless to stop the ball in early position.

At this moment, Tucker came straight over.

Bayless' passing vision was blocked, and the rest of the Thunder blocked the right passing route.

Conley found a glimpse of an opportunity in his run and beckoned loudly.

Bayless flicked the ball, but the angle of the pass under the confrontation was deflected and the ball went straight out of bounds.

Grizzlies' mistakes!

After the defense was successful, Tucker yelled excitedly.

The Thunder team had 3 rookies on the court, and the whole momentum driven by this roar immediately came up.

In the last attack of the first quarter, Livingston held the ball to the front court and pressed the time, and when the offensive time entered about 15 seconds, he organized the offense.

Tucker and Bazemore landed in the bottom corner, and Middleton took the initiative to mention the three-point line to block and pick-and-roll.

Livingston drove to the basket and after seeing the Grizzlies' defense shrink, he threw the ball back to Middleton beyond the three-point line with excellent vision.

Middleton received the ball, saw Speights pounce on the defense, and threw the ball directly to Tucker, who moved to a 45-degree angle on the right.

After Tucker received the ball, he shook Bayless, who was helping to defend, and then took another shot.

After he made his shot, a red light came on on the sidelines.

It was a buzzer-beating shot.

The eyes of the fans at the scene followed.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Tucker's three-point hollow net.

After being beaten 5-0 by the Grizzlies, the Thunder immediately returned a 5-0!

Tucker was extremely excited when he hit it, and he beat his chest and roared at the audience.

There was an unbearable restlessness at the scene.

The commentators and commentators on the sidelines were speechless for a while.

The Thunder's performance in this section was a complete shock to them.

Bazemore also ran over to bump his chest with Tucker, and Middleton and Collison and Livingston also came over and shouted, their faces completely unconcealed with excitement.

If they could, they would have yelled at the audience: Thank you for looking down on us!
