One Hundred and Eighty-One: Draw, Shoot, Hit

On April 23, 2011, the series finally came to Memphis, home of the Grizzlies!

Although the Grizzlies achieved the first playoff victory in franchise history, the fly in the ointment was that the game was not played at home.

Grizzlies fans have never seen the team win the playoffs at home, and today, they long for that to happen.

But when the game reached the end of the third quarter, even Hubie Brown was a little desperate. As many media and experts have said, the Thunder's offensive is too fierce! Even the Grizzlies' defense was a little overwhelming.

On the court, Westbrook broke the ball and assisted Durant with a mid-range shot. After this ball, the Thunder officially launched a 9-0 offensive climax! And the difference on the field is as much as 16 points!

Westbrook and Durant clapped lightly. Today, Westbrook played very rationally, and his repeated calm passes gave his teammates a good chance. Compared with usual, today's Westbrook can assist his teammates to score while he can score, which makes the Thunder's offensive firepower more difficult to withstand.

"With a 16-point deficit, the Grizzlies only have one last shot left in the third quarter. Even if the Grizzlies can make a 3-pointer, they're still 13 points behind. It has to be said that there is a real difference between the two teams. There is a big gap in strength." Beside Hubie Brown, Kevin Harlan thought the game was basically over.

The 16-point difference is not small, not to mention that the Thunder almost kept pressing the Grizzlies in the first three quarters. The last time the Grizzlies led the Thunder was in the second quarter, and the Grizzlies never had a one-point lead throughout the second half.

Hubie Brown didn't respond to Kevin Harlan, because he was really speechless, the Thunder now have a huge advantage, and the Grizzlies are very dangerous.

On the court, the Grizzlies were still in control of the ball unhurriedly, and Conley had to play the last 20 seconds. Link is actively looking for opportunities, but Durant's pressure on him is too strong.

As soon as Durant's long arm straightened, Link had difficulty connecting the ball.

However, Link did not give up. After relaxing with Randolph the day before yesterday, Link felt that he was full of energy today. And no matter how tight the defense is, it will not be upset.

Link patiently looked for an opportunity, and finally, with a counter-run, he opened up a little space!

Conley saw Link who had seized the opportunity, so he quickly sent the ball over!

At this point, with more than 2 seconds left before the end of the third quarter, Link had to catch the ball and shoot!

Durant's interference did not change Link's shooting posture, and he was extremely calm, even when he was 16 points behind.

After the shot, Link's raised arm never dropped. When the red light on the backboard lights up, the basketball also joins the net.

A three-pointer at the buzzer! Link scored the 16th point of the game under Durant's tight defense!

However, the cheers in the FedEx Arena were scattered. Because even with the 3-pointer, the Grizzlies are still 13 points behind.

"At the end of the third quarter, Link's three-pointer at the buzzer somewhat helped the Grizzlies stabilize the situation. But the Grizzlies are still in a very dangerous situation. They want to catch up with 13 points in 12 minutes. It's not easy for the Bears. The Thunder's offensive firepower ensures that their scoring is almost uninterrupted."

"Yeah, if the Grizzlies also lose a game at home. Not to mention today, the entire series is in jeopardy." Hubby Brin looked at the sidelines seriously, he really didn't want the Grizzlies The team's playoff journey is so high and low.

Link stepped off the court and gave his teammates a light high five. Hollins took out his tactical board immediately, obviously not wanting to waste a minute of his time.

Unlike the loss in the last game, the Grizzlies lost the last game, and the poor performance of the black and white bears accounted for a large part of the reason. But today, the Grizzlies' performance is not bad, but the Thunder's performance is too good.

No,

Westbrook just scored 13 points in a single quarter. Counting further up, Ibaka scored 9 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and Durant scored 9 points in a single quarter in the first quarter...

The Grizzlies are good on defense and offense, but the Thunder make too many unreasonable shots.

Hollins believes the Thunder's luck won't last forever. Maybe most people think the Grizzlies lose, but Hollins doesn't think so!

"We continued to maintain such a defensive intensity in the fourth quarter, the Thunder can't score every time! Hold on, if you fall, then the game is really over! Those damn bastards must think that We will give up and surprise them! Don't give up, don't give up!"

Hollins didn't make many tactical adjustments, mainly trying to stabilize the players' emotions.

After Link finished listening, he and Randolph looked at each other.

"Are you tired?" Randolph asked.

"I don't feel tired at all." Link replied with a smile.

"Me too, but those guys are not necessarily." Randolph said, pointing to the Thunder bench.

"Under our high-intensity defense in the first three quarters, they still played such a terrible offense, and the consumption must not be small. As Hollins said, if we continue to press them in the fourth quarter, we will definitely be able to come back. Believe me, be the first to collapse. It won't be us!"

After Randolph finished speaking, the short inter-season break also ended. The cheers at the scene are still not high, maybe many fans have given up their resistance.

They may be thinking in their hearts: The Grizzlies can win a game is already great, they can take the fifth place in the Western Conference this season is already great, there is no need to be so harsh on their team.

But the fans don't know that the Grizzlies players always push themselves with the most demanding requirements! You will never be satisfied until you die in battle!

Link stepped back onto the court and bumped fists with Randolph. Hollins was right, first of all they couldn't fall themselves. So, let yourself and Randolph lead by example!

"The game looks anew. It seems that Link and Zach are still full of fighting spirit. But seriously, sometimes fighting spirit is not enough. The Thunder take the lead in attacking, let's see if the Thunder can continue the score this time. Pull away."

Westbrook came in confidently with the ball, but he was unusually calm today. Even if he just scored 13 points in a single quarter, Westbrook didn't have a brain to explode and just grab the ball. He knew that the Thunder would take great responsibility for their first loss. So in the next few games, he doesn't plan to make mistakes again.

Westbrook handed the ball to Durant on the right, but as soon as Durant received the ball, he was bumped roughly by Link and stumbled two steps.

Durant looked up, and Link was staring at himself resolutely, as if he was not affected by the huge gap of 13 points.

"Cut, pretend to be calm!" Durant started to dribble the ball alternately with his left and right hands, and he was about to start playing! Today is not the first time he has experienced Link's tough defense. Anyway, he has scored goals several times before, and this time is the same!

Durant started immediately, but was rudely forced to stop by Link! The collision between the two was very intense, Link would not give in an inch, and Durant was bounced back to the spot!

"Come on, bastard!" Link opened his arms and yelled at Durant.

Durant gritted his teeth and was so arrogant after being 13 points behind! He must fight until the guy in front of him can't even speak!

So Durant called for a screen, and Ibaka went up to the pick-and-roll. But Link didn't give in. He squeezed in front of Ibaka forcefully, blocking Durant's way, and the scorer's offense failed again!

"Beautiful defense, Link is still very active! It seems that he doesn't plan to give up the home court just like that! Kevin made a pull-up jumper, but he didn't shake Link!"

Link worked hard to seal it up, and Durant has scored many shots in this interference today. But Link and Hollins thought the same, it was impossible for the Thunder to score a goal against the difficulty of defending in the fourth quarter!

Durant was forced to breathe faster by Link, and the instant rhythm of the shot was not well grasped. His shot was earlier than usual, and he was blocked by Link.

"Bang!" The basket made a crisp sound, and Durant missed this time!

"Missed the shot, Randolph grabbed the rebound and watched the Grizzlies' counterattack!" Hubby Brin clenched his fists, this is an opportunity!

Link ran forward the moment Durant shot, he believed in the ability of the black and white bears to protect the backcourt rebounds. As soon as Randolph grabbed the rebound, he made a long pass from the backcourt very tacitly, and the basketball went straight to Link!

Link caught the basketball with two steps inside the three-point line, but Durant had already rushed to Link's side. Continue to break through? Link couldn't shake Durant. Pause offense? This is another rare opportunity to counterattack, and it would be a pity to be dragged into the position.

So Link suddenly took a step back, and then shot directly!

"Kevin Durant's reaction to the step-back jumper was half a beat slower, but with his height and wingspan, he still interfered with Link!"

Hollins bit his lip. He was really afraid that Link would miss the shot. This kind of offense is not just as simple as two points, which will directly determine the Grizzlies' fourth energy saving situation.

Link was breathing extremely smoothly in the air, and his physical condition was perfect. Originally, Link's physical strength was very durable, not to mention the great relaxation both physically and mentally the day before yesterday. Therefore, shooting stability is very impressive, even when disturbed!

The buzzer-beating three-pointer shot by Durant just now was actually a warning to the Thunder.

Link's gentle shot made the fans happy. Durant hurriedly turned around after landing, only to see the basketball hollow into the net in desperation! The Grizzlies strike back!

"Boom!" This time, there was no more lifelessness in the Federal Express Arena. Everyone stood up from their seats and cheered for Link's goal!

That guy used his tough style to ignite the hope of the audience!

Fans will think: even he has not given up, what qualifications do we have to give up?

"Beautiful step-back jumper, including the three-pointer at the buzzer just now, Link is equivalent to scoring 5 points in a row, reducing the point difference to 11 points in one fell swoop! He responded strongly to the Thunder, and he represented the attitude of the Grizzlies! "Hubby Brin finally raised his eyebrows, and he was glad that the Grizzlies players were still stubbornly resisting.

No team can easily defeat the Grizzlies, even if they win, the Thunder will win all over!

Link made a pistol-like shape with both hands, put it on his mouth to blow off the "gun smoke", and then inserted the "pistol" into his waist!

It wasn't over yet, and Link didn't even feel tired. The horn of the counterattack has been blown, and what Thunder will face next is a crazy counterattack!
