Chapter 357 (1/2)

At the end of the first quarter, thunder managed to avoid making the Grizzlies double-digit.

But in the end, the results of the first quarter were not good for thunder. 20-28, Oklahoma thunder came to Memphis with a manly face and was beaten black and blue in the first quarter.

Single quarter behind 8 points, no doubt, such a situation is unexpected before thunder.

In the first quarter, link scored 9 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, which made Durant no longer easy to score, but also directly closed the best sixth man of the year.

On the offensive side, link made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter, with high efficiency. Durant failed to stop him, and harden chose to drop the line directly.

The first 12 minutes of the game, link led the team at home to play momentum. They let thunder see that the FedEx stadium is not something you want to win.

Now, the world is praising link and the Grizzlies, but Hollins is a little worried.

In the first quarter, link played 12 minutes! The second quarter should let him play, let Hollins get entangled.

It has to be admitted that the Grizzlies are somewhat reliant on link at this stage. As soon as link went down, he didn't even have the center of gravity.

Last season, the Grizzlies scored with Randolph. Guy was also a good scorer when he was healthy in the regular season this year.

But at this time, the Grizzlies only have link as a stable attack point. Although others can score, they are far away from the role of ”scorer”.

Seeing that link was out of breath, Hollins decided to give him a break anyway. After all, it's the Western Conference finals, intense confrontation and huge consumption. A player is tired after 12 minutes in the regular season, not to mention in the Western Conference finals.

So at the beginning of the second quarter, link was pressed on the bench by Hollins. But fortunately, Durant, who also played for 12 minutes in the first quarter, did not appear, which undoubtedly let Hollins gasp.

Now, thunder's scoring points on the court are Westbrook and harden. But to tell you the truth, in Hollins' mind, these two guys are not as threatening as Durant.

As long as we take precautions, we will not collapse.

”Don't worry, I won't let them surpass until you come back.” Before the second quarter, Tony Allen patted his chest in front of link.

Link was moved. He wasn't fighting alone.

The second quarter of the game is so open, grizzly side Randolph and link are resting. Randolph will be in the center position later, so take the time to rest. On the grizzly side, Randolph, Gasol and Spitz rotate inside.

Hadadi, known as ”Asia's first center,” has not been included in the playoffs. Link has played for the Grizzlies for two seasons, and has not even met hadadi several times. Therefore, Haddad is unable to share the pressure inside.

Link is still trying to balance his breathing, rest one more round, are luxury. Once on the court, there's no time to adjust, it's time to play.

This is the Western Conference finals, cruel and glamorous.

Just as link was staring at the court seriously, Randolph sat down beside him with a smile on his face. ”Hey, can I have an American banana?”

Link:???

Link looked at Randolph in fog and thought the guy was making another colored joke. Unexpectedly, he actually carried two big bananas in front of link.

”Where did you get bananas?”

”The fans gave it to me! Come on, let's do it! Eat well and hammer the kids Said Randolph, peeling the banana and stuffing it into link's mouth.

”All right, all right, I'll do it myself!” Link quickly opened Randolph's hand, and it was a little strange to be fed a banana by a big black man...
