Five Hundred and Eighteenth: The Belly Black Du Who Gets Revenge

It turns out that occasional relaxation can have unexpected effects.

The Celtics were completely crushed by themselves, and they did have a chance to win the game. But in the end, it was defeated under high pressure.

Now, the eyes of the world are on the Grizzlies. The world is watching as the Grizzlies break the record for the best regular-season record of the 21st century.

Seeing that the Grizzlies are getting closer and closer to breaking the record, the team's attention is also rising.

Some people want the Grizzlies to break the record, and naturally some people want to see the Grizzlies joke.

Among them, Kevin Durant is undoubtedly one of them.

As a star who has been fighting with Link all the time, it's no secret that Durant and Link don't deal with each other.

Durant doesn't want to be beaten by Link again and again. As the three-game scoring champion, he is not allowed to have a second super small forward in the West besides himself.

Indeed, Durant and his Thunder won the Grizzlies last season. But in terms of personal performance, Durant did not show a state beyond Link.

So, the war between the two has continued, and this season as well.

So far this year's regular season, the Grizzlies and the Thunder have played against each other twice, each with a win, which is really a narrow road for the enemy.

So this time, Durant is desperate to give the Grizzlies a blow when they need it the most!

The biggest crisis of the season so far is coming to the Grizzlies.

※※※

Although the reversal defeated the Celtics, but the Grizzlies' journey is not over.

On March 22, the Grizzlies suffered a very unexpected loss to the Hornets in New Orleans. This is what people say, the game of basketball is fickle. It's not ideal to want to play the last 18 games in the last month.

In today's game, the Hornets' twin towers, Anthony Davis and Robin Lopez, both played well. The former scored 28 points, showing the qualities of the No. 1 pick. The latter scored 17 points, completely not afraid of the "European fortress".

However, the Hornets' performance was only part of the reason the Grizzlies lost. Today's loss,

The Grizzlies themselves have a lot of responsibility.

Today, the Grizzlies are shooting just 41.3 percent overall. But if you just look at the data of the starters, the shooting percentage seems to be good.

The problem is the replacement.

In this game, the Grizzlies bench added a total of 10 points. Among them, there are 4 people whose hit rate is 0%! Among these 10 points, 6 points were obtained by free throws!

Jimmy Butler, Tony Allen, Harris, Ezeli, Vasquez, Nick Young... This group of "bench bandits" who have performed very well all season, today are stunned At the same time misfire.

Link and Randolph scored 30 and 22 points respectively, but the Grizzlies still lost the game because of the poor performance of the bench.

100 to 93, lost to a team at the bottom of the league, which made the players feel a little bad after the game.

The worst thing is not the upset loss to the Hornets, but after this game, the Grizzlies have to return to Memphis non-stop to prepare for the game with the Thunder.

And Durant has been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time.

At 2 a.m. on the 23rd, the Grizzlies players finally arrived in Memphis. That night, the tired Grizzlies faced a challenge from a formidable opponent at home.

The Grizzlies' bench players are normal today, but in the face of a strong enemy like the Thunder, "normal performance" is not enough.

Durant and Westbrook are in great shape today, especially Durant, even Iguodala can't help him today.

However, the Grizzlies are not soft persimmons. Link has been leading the Grizzlies in the non-stop fight amid the cheers of the home fans.

Every time Durant tried to pull the score away, the Grizzlies would immediately approach.

In this way, the two sides fought until the last 13.6 seconds. Link's turnaround jumper gave the Grizzlies a 1-point lead over the Thunder 100-99!

At that moment, the entire FedEx Arena seemed to be shaking. As if once again, Link will use his incredible performance to keep the glory of this arena.

However, Durant will not give up so soon. He had already made up his mind to give the Grizzlies the deadliest shot when they needed victory the most!

So, the Thunder attacked for the last time. Kevin Durant made a jumper in the last 0.9 seconds under Iguodala's best efforts to block!

With an electronic buzzer and a red light on the backboard, the basketball passed through the net!

"brush!"

This is the sound of a heart being pierced.

"Goal scored! Goal scored! Kevin Durant! He broke the Grizzlies' unbeaten home record this season! At the same time, it also allowed the Grizzlies to experience a losing streak for the first time this season! He gave the Grizzlies the most inopportune blow at the most inopportune time!"

At the end of the game, Link felt that his mind went blank.

In 0.9 seconds, the FedEx Arena, which lasted for a whole season, was officially declared lost!

Although everyone knows, the unbeaten record at home can not last a whole season. After all, in all the years of the NBA, no team has ever been unbeaten at home for an entire season.

But in this way, the Grizzlies' unbeaten home record is ended, and fans and players are undoubtedly very uncomfortable.

With the boos from the audience, Link turned his head to look at the Thunder's half.

Over there, Durant was already celebrating wildly with his teammates. Even in this boos-filled venue, the Thunder players couldn't be bothered to experience their joy.

"Fuck!" Link reluctantly punched the technical table, and old Hubby Brown immediately stood up and patted Link's shoulder.

"I know it's hard, but you have to learn to accept him, kid." Old Hubby only said one sentence to Link, as to whether he could listen or not, it was beyond Old Hubi's control.

Link just nodded politely at Hubie Brown, and then walked into the player tunnel.

Durant turned to look at the dejected Link, not to mention how proud he was.

Durant is very honored to end the Grizzlies' unbeaten home record with his own hands!

In the locker room, everyone was in a low mood. The first home defeat, the first consecutive losing streak, and so on, naturally, everyone really doesn't want to see it.

Of course, at the press conference later, the reporter also reminded Link of another bad news.

"After this unfortunate loss, the Grizzlies are 56-12. Your prospects for breaking records seem to be getting less and less bright. You know, you've lost the last ten days. 3 games. Link, do you think it's still possible for the Grizzlies to break the record?"

After the reporter asked, everyone stared at Link. As the most trafficked player in this huge traffic team, Link's every move has attracted much attention.

"Link?" Seeing that Link didn't answer for a long time, the reporter called his name again.

Link came back to his senses and slowly approached the microphone.

The reporters had already made several predictions, and they guessed that Link might be in a fit of rage, or that he might be perfunctory in a very official tone.

But the reporters did not expect Link's final speech.

"I know, the situation is difficult. But if this setback can easily knock me and my teammates down, then we don't deserve any league records. Our goal remains the same, and we will still strive to be the routine of the 21st century. The best team in the game. Then, in the playoffs, I hope to be able to reunite with the Thunder as soon as possible. Today's account has to be calculated."

After Link finished speaking, he stood up directly and ended the press conference.

To some people, Link seemed like a child who lost his temper. But reporters who know him know that this guy never talks casually.

Unless he can do it.
