Chapter 196 (1/2)

Durant stood on the court, the tall and thin figure of the guy was very lonely.

He saw link throw the basketball into the stands and enjoy the hugs of the fans. He saw the Grizzlies celebrate their victory with ecstasy, celebrating their team's first playoff run in the second round. Of course, he also saw the uncomfortable numbers on the big screen.

3 out of 14.

Durant clenched his fist. This scene is supposed to happen in Oklahoma City. If he could have done better today...

thinking about this, Durant felt a little astringent in his eyes. But he still clenched his lips and walked towards link.

Link saw Durant coming towards him and stopped all the celebrations. On the court, link may make his opposition extremely uncomfortable. But after the game, link will respect most of his opponents.

”Congratulations, link.” Durant came up and hugged link gently. Suddenly, several cameras surrounded them.

”You're doing great, too.” Link doesn't know what to say. The future is yours? I don't seem to be qualified to say that to Durant. After all, Durant is more experienced than he is... So he can only say the most common.

”No, you beat me completely, I admit it, and I hope those who beat me can go further in the playoffs. But the next time we meet again, it will never be so simple. ” Durant said, patting link on the chest, ”come on.”

Then, the thunder 35 disappeared in the player channel. What is link standing there scratching his head? Is it blessing or provocation? Maybe the relationship between men is so subtle sometimes.

Link believes Durant's words, if you meet that guy again in the playoffs, it won't be so easy. Durant in this period is not mature enough. The short board is as obvious as the advantages. Last season, Durant's field average shooting rate was only 35%. It's enough to show that you're not the top scorer in the regular season, you're just as invincible in the playoffs.

Compared with last year, Durant's performance is good this year.

In recent years, Durant is still growing. But two or three years later, Durant will never be so green in the playoffs.

Link still remembers, 14 years playoffs, according to the original history, Grizzlies and thunder will meet again. The most impressive thing about that year was that people said Tony Allen had a good defense against Durant. But in fact, Durant still managed to score 26 points from 44% of his shots in that round. In this way, people think that Tony Allen's defense is a success. From this we can see how terrible a mature Durant is.

However, link believes that in two or three years, he will be totally different. He is looking forward to the duel with Durant again. I hope they can play a better match when they are mature.

Then, link was completely surrounded by reporters, and everyone in the thunder team disappeared from the sea of joy. Now, the only thing he should do is enjoy the victory.

Greg Popovich stares at the TV and says nothing.

The Grizzlies won, and as he expected, Memphis Grizzlies broke down and overturned the young and green thunder.

When the Grizzlies went from eighth to fifth, Popovich probably knew that this year's Grizzlies would be a tough opponent. After all, even himself was avoiding Grizzlies. The regular season encounter has made Popovich know that any team that meets the Grizzlies will have bad luck. Even if you can win, you have to pay a huge price.

An opponent even Popovich didn't want to meet was enough to show his deterrent power.

Now, Popovich's biggest worry has happened. The Memphis Grizzlies are fifth in the west, which means the Spurs and Grizzlies will meet in the second round of the series!

After hiding for a long time, the Spurs still didn't hide. After guy's injury, the grizzly bear's rise is surprising. But that's Memphis's ”Ewing's law,” which you have to obey.

”They are strong, especially link. Even compared with the regular season, he has made great progress
