Chapter 195 (1/2)
Kevin Durant is the first time he has been so afraid of a defender.
He was unstoppable in the regular season this year, scoring the second straight season. Yes, two time scoring champion, but many people forget that this is his fourth NBA season.
It's just such a talented scorer, the guy who is destined to be a superstar, who was prevented from doubting himself by link today.
At this time, he took the basketball again. The thunder team's eyes are on him, he must take responsibility, but he is not confident in himself.
”Link is merciless today, and I'm sure there will be no accident in this round. Durant is in a very difficult situation. He is in a terrible condition today
”No, it's not Kevin who's in a bad state, it's link's defense that's terrible today. If the thunder team doesn't score this goal, the thunder team will say goodbye to us in advance Hobby Brown clenched his fists, and there were only two minutes or so left for that historic moment.
At the beginning, he spent all his efforts to bring the Grizzlies into the playoffs. Now, he will witness the Grizzlies' promotion to the second round of the playoffs!
Durant in the three-point line outside the screen directly jump shot, but at this time, whether it is physical or psychological, Durant is close to collapse.
The whole court is consumed by the wheels of link, Tony Allen and Battier. Durant will be tired even Superman. In addition to the fact that he had forged iron countless times before, Durant's hand was already cold.
This time, link as usual bypassed the cover, but from Durant's shooting point is still a little far.
As a result, link gave up the idea of blocking the shooting point, and turned to Battier's blindfold to deal with Durant. According to the most appropriate timing to change the most appropriate defensive method, this is link from Battier where the most useful thing.
Durant was hidden from sight. If he felt hot, he would be disturbed. But at the moment, Durant's shooting difficulty is no doubt doubled by link.
But he has been unable to take back his action, so he has to be brave enough to do it!
”No, it's crooked!” As soon as Durant's shot came out, Hubie Brown yelled. As an experienced veteran, Brown could judge whether a player could make a shot just by looking at his shot.
Sure enough, the next second, Durant's basketball hit the side of the basket. When Durant heard the sound of basketball and basket collision, his heart seemed to be as cold as steel.
Today, Durant has been counting his shots and goals to warn himself.
If he didn't count correctly, he just shot 10 baskets in the second half of the game to the time he just shot. And the number of hits, only 1!
One out of 10 shots, 6 shots out of the three-point line, that's Durant's shooting rate in the second half of the game! Durant didn't dare to shoot in the first half, so he chose to be cautious. But in the second half, when Durant boldly shot, the result was this dismal 10% shooting rate.
Durant will be a disgrace to his career!
Durant looked up slightly at the big screen. He wished he had remembered the wrong data.
However, the fact is very cruel, the data on the big screen is no different from what he remembered in his mind. The scoring King's performance in the second half can be called the scene of the accident.
”Durant's shot is still not in, which means that the thunder team has not scored for four minutes! This round of series, we often see thunder appear for several minutes without a point. It has to be said that the Grizzlies' defense is a big challenge for this young guard. ”
Conley received Randolph's pass, a one-stop layup was successful, without anyone's obstruction. When Durant just hit the iron ball, the thunder team collapsed.
Conley's layup turned the score 90-79 with 1 minute 59 seconds left. It's not impossible to chase 11 points in two minutes. But now the morale of the thunder team, they basically have no chance to win.
”11 points, the Grizzlies had an 11 point lead with 2 minutes left in the end of the game! Durant has scored only once in the second half. Link's defensive strength seems too strong for him
Kevin Haran said, looking at link's data sheet. 17 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, with a shooting rate of 52%.
Link didn't score much today, mainly because he put most of his energy on the defensive end. Otherwise, Durant would not have struggled so hard.
As for link's scoring task, it was partly shared by O.J. Mayo, who made his debut and achieved remarkable results. Mayo has scored 16 points today. His three-point percentage and overall percentage are both 50%, which is very good.
