Five Hundred and Seventy-Five: The Upcoming 1st Honor

Durant saw the result of that ball earlier than Link did.

Although Link lost his center of gravity, his movements were not deformed in the slightest. Therefore, this ball is not luck, but the embodiment of real strength!

While Link was still sliding on the ground, the basketball was deflected into the net.

In normal times, this is just a layup that is slightly more exciting than an ordinary goal. But this time, seeing the basketball caught in the net, Durant's heart skipped a beat.

He is completely defeated!

In the last 43 seconds, the Thunder trailed by 8 points. Link, on the other hand, became the sixth player in the 21st century to score 50 points in a playoff game.

From personal performance to team performance, Durant is completely defeated!

So much so that when Scott Brooks stopped the game, Durant thought it was the end of the game whistle.

Because in his heart, this match is over.

Durant walked down the court dejected and scored 44 points. He performed well, as if he had lost his last enthusiasm.

In the current situation, trying to chase 8 points in 40 seconds... Durant knows better than anyone how difficult it is.

Chesapeake Energy Arena, I'm afraid it can't be kept.

At this time, on the commentary stage, Mike Brin had already used all the compliments on Link.

"The last time we saw someone score 50 points in the playoffs was four years ago! At that time, the high-spirited Big Three of the Green Army met the Bulls, and the two sides played very anxiously. In that game, Ray Allen With an incredible 9 three-pointers, he scored 51 points! However, it took a full 3 overtimes in that game for Ray Allen to play such exaggerated data. But today, he was in 48 minutes. Before the regular time, he had already scored 50 points! It was harder for him to score 50 than Ray Allen!"

Mike Brin was so excited that he was about to declare the Grizzlies the victory. In fact, everyone knows how the game will turn out. Thunder fans, now can only comfort themselves with unrealistic fantasies.

On the Grizzlies bench, all the Grizzlies were congratulating Link. But Link is not as excited as people think, because for him, the most important goal today has not yet been achieved!

"With 43 seconds left, we're up 8! I know it gives us the edge, but the game isn't over! Let's get out there and keep fighting! We're only one game away from winning at Chesapeake Energy Arena. It's less than a minute away!"

Link shouted impassively from below, and the other Grizzlies players also echoed.

Link is very clear that scoring 50 points in a single game does not necessarily mean embracing victory. Not to mention, let’s say that the game in which Ray Allen scored 51 points in the playoffs four years ago. Although Ray Allen’s personal performance was perfect, in the end, Kyle still lost. .

His 51 points have become less precious.

Seeing Link who was cheering for his teammates on the bench, Mike Brin smiled. Not being overwhelmed by temporary victories is not a quality that everyone has.

Link, this guy might really win to the end this year...

After the timeout came back, the Thunder fans couldn't shout much. Of course, the Thunder players are also demoralized.

The double blow of the home loss and Link's 50-point win completely extinguished the fire in Durant's heart.

As a result, the first attack after the Thunder came back did not score. Durant turned the ball into a pass and handed the ball to Westbrook, who then hit a three-pointer and missed the best chance.

At this point, Thunder's last glimmer of hope has disappeared. Whether they want to or not, they must return to "hell" with a dangerous score of 1-3 behind.

The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent. , The Grizzlies broke the spell of inability to win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in the playoffs with a 9-point difference on the road!

The Grizzlies players who are celebrating wildly on the court,

And the silent fans seem out of place. This huge contrast fully shows the disappointment of Thunder fans.

"Great game, great night. After being named to the All-NBA First Team, Link showed his strength to the fullest. 50 points in a single game, even in the regular season, is a very remarkable achievement. More Besides, this is the Western Conference finals!"

With 8 assists and 8 rebounds, Link scored 50 points and a double-double. His name is destined to be written into history!

Durant stared blankly at the big screen, the number 50 was extraordinarily dazzling.

He actually let Link get 50 points, and Durant himself felt incredible. Once upon a time, that undrafted pick was so powerful that it could overshadow him?

Last year, although Durant won, he felt that winning was not enough. In his psychological expectations, the Thunder did not need to play the tiebreaker with the Grizzlies at all. Therefore, he was very upset, and he felt that he should abuse Link.

But this year, everything has changed. Durant didn't want to beat Link, nor did he want to advance ahead of schedule. If God can give him a chance to play tiebreaker, he will be very satisfied!

Durant isn't one to be blinded by reality. He knows that with a 3-1 deficit, let alone winning the series. Just wanting to drag the game into the tiebreaker is an extravagant hope!

If the Thunder can really get a two-game winning streak against the Grizzlies, it will not end like this.

Looking at it, Durant lowered his head and stood motionless, no one knew what he was doing at this time.

From losing the All-NBA First Team to letting Link score 50 points to losing key games, this has undoubtedly become the most frustrating day in Durant's career!

KD only felt that his eyes were hot, and then there were a few drops of water stains on the wooden floor under his feet.

That's not sweat.

A reporter found Durant, but Durant took off his jersey, covered his head, and left.

He didn't want his current appearance to be photographed by the media.

The Grizzlies won the Thunder's home, and next, the Thunder went to challenge the Grizzlies' home.

Right now, though, even Durant probably won't slap his chest and promise that they'll win at FedEx.

Today, KD was completely surrendered by Link!

Durant faded miserably off the court, while Link was hugely popular on the court.

The reporters were all around the new 50-point man. Even those reporters who questioned Link's selection to the All-Defensive First Team before the game all knelt and licked.

"Link, did being selected for the best first team make you burst into the air today?"

"Link, after getting match point, will you try your best to defeat the Thunder in the next game?"

"If Kevin continues to break out in the next game, can you still fight him to the end?"

Faced with questions from reporters, Link was always absent-minded. Sometimes when reporters ask east, he answers west.

Everyone laughed, thinking that Link was dazzled by this great victory. Young people, in the face of this great moment, will inevitably be unable to restrain the excitement.

However, Link actually didn't think so much about the mess.

His thoughts only traveled to Memphis two days later.

Link wondered what it would feel like to win the Western Conference championship trophy. What will FedEx Arena look like when the Western Championship's pennant goes up?

After all, this is the first honor in Grizzlies history!

Western Championship, they have it! After 3 to 1, there is no need to entangle with the Thunder.

The next game in Memphis will be the Thunder's curtain call of the season.
