Chapter 413 (1/2)
In the second quarter, when Memphis Grizzlies were 10 points behind, they almost played a textbook counterattack.
In the third quarter, when Oklahoma City Thunder was 11 points behind the Grizzlies, the thunder team did not show enough outstanding performance. Unlike the Grizzlies, thunder fell completely!
At this time, the game has been in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Oklahoma thunder team is still 8 points behind the Grizzlies.
Since the third quarter by link a wave of 7-0 muddled, thunder has never obtained the lead. Durant's attack efficiency dived, but link was steady, leading the Grizzlies to occupy the initiative.
Rotation time, because of the presence of Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler, the thunder team in the first quarter proud of the backup fire is also completely gone. Reggie Jackson and Kevin Martin played a good game. I don't know if the thunder missed James Harden now...
the thunder worked hard to narrow the difference to two digits. But when you look at the time, it's not enough!
Durant has not given up, this season's first encounter Grizzlies, the belly black 35 naturally do not want to lose. As a result, Durant is still trying to take over the game, even though he is out of breath.
Durant's efforts have just begun to bear fruit as the scoring king in three consecutive games.
Durant had just scored four points with a mid shot and a layup, which narrowed the gap. So the third time, no doubt, basketball was passed to Durant.
Igordala is very hard on defense. Durant is very worried by the new grizzly bear. Durant couldn't help but wonder, if igordala was in Memphis last season, does thunder still have a chance to win?
Durant didn't dare to think deeply. He hoped to replace conjecture with action!
Finally, Durant chose to pick and roll with Ibaka. As long as a flash of space, Durant will shoot decisively!
Thunder No. 35 held the ball around the screen, flashed to the free throw line, and took off before igordala took off Ibaka.
But Durant just jumped up, and before he could lift the basketball, he found that the basketball was out of control and cut off!
It was igordala, who sliced Durant's ball from the side. Two consecutive rounds of scoring records, this break!
Igordala didn't think much about the basketball, but passed it to link!
If you think igordala is just a devil, you are wrong. Igordala is a player who has a great sense of the overall situation and is also able to organize and launch attacks. So, it's hard for igordala to pass the ball to the right person the first time.
At this time, the defense of link is ”Swiss Saber” cerfrosa, but no matter whether you are ”Swiss Saber” or ”crooked handle”, there is no way to take link today.
Link took sevarosa as the axis, turned flexibly and left the Swiss behind. In the end, the whole Chesapeake energy arena was able to watch in despair at link's layup and the difference was widened to 10 points again
in the last minute of the game, link opened the gap again. Durant stopped, put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath.
He was tired, and he felt like he couldn't hold on.
”Kevin Durant has played 43 minutes today. If he doesn't leave at the last minute, it's 44 minutes. 44 minutes, even for Durant, it was too much. After all, look at the roles that defend him. Against igordala, link, Tony Allen, and Jimmy Butler, the consumption is definitely doubled! KD is exhausted and Oklahoma thunder may not be able to organize an effective counterattack
The commentator was right. After more than a minute of the game, thunder did not play any effective counterattack. They can still score, but the goals don't connect.
