Chapter 568 (1/2)

Thunder and Grizzlies were originally two teams that couldn't play together. Although they are all in the west, thunder is young and full of potential, while Grizzlies are dark all the year round.

But since the Grizzlies signed link two years ago, the fate of the two teams has been magically intertwined.

Two years ago, the two sides met in the first round of the playoffs. At that time, the thunder was still green, only playing the playoffs for the second time. As a result, they were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the first round, and Kevin Durant harbored a grudge. Last year, the two sides met in the Western Conference finals. As a result, it was only after seven bitter battles that the winner was decided.

The tragedy of the series is still fresh in my memory. Every game is very fierce, and the two teams have come to a conclusion. This season's regular season, thunder has interrupted the Grizzlies' unbeaten record at home. Kevin Durant's last 0.9 second shot at the FedEx stadium wiped out the possibility of the Grizzlies' miracle.

Over the past three years, the two teams have won and lost with each other, accompanied by gratitude and resentment. And this year, at a time when both sides are at their peak, they can finally put an end to it.

Before the game, the ESPN staff were excited by what link said to Durant. If you broadcast it during the pause, it will certainly lead to a further increase in ratings.

Link and Durant have raised the heat of the game to an unprecedented level, and no round of the series has been as high-profile as it is today. It is estimated that only after the finals have such a viewing effect.

The two sides had a lot of words before the game started. Durant and link's dialogue can be regarded as a classic. The way they played each other in the playoffs even reminded fans of the days of Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

Fierce before the game, the game will not be soft. The Grizzlies opened the first attack, Durant posted in front of link!

In the past, thunder will try to use sevarosa and others to defend link. But now, Durant will follow link from the first second of the game.

Durant is only one year older than link, but he has been selected for the best first team three times. If there is no accident this year, he will be selected for the fourth time. Such an honor is enough to prove Durant's strength.

Of course, this is also the disadvantage of older rookies. Link started later than others. There was no way.

As a guy who has long been defined as a superstar, Durant's defense is not bad. His physical condition is there, and his defense is not so bad.

Link faced Durant as if he were facing a wall. But after years of confrontation, link has been used to Durant's defensive area.

Durant and link did not polite, the beginning of the link defense can not receive the ball.

”KD didn't intend to save strength for himself. On the defensive side, he also decided to do his best Mike brin didn't expect Durant to work so hard as soon as he came up. It seems that the expectations of the fans will not be let down.

Link was not in a hurry. He didn't catch the ball in the first round. Finally, Gasol hit Perkins in the low post.

Perkins, like Tony Allen, are members of the 2008 champion Celtic. Besides, they are important defensive players.

But Tony Allen is still strong, and Perkins' deterrent in the penalty area is gradually declining due to injury.

Now, Perkins's movement speed and bounce are far less than they used to be. Pau Gasol won't lose out on strength and weight.

”Shit, you can't get the ball! Don't you want to make trouble? Come on Although the Grizzlies scored the goal, it still didn't affect Durant's spamming to link. As long as the ball was not scored by link, Durant thought he was not a loser!

Link did not respond, but quickly retreated, not forgetting to give Pau Gasol a high five.

Durant clenched his teeth. Since link didn't attack, he would not be polite! Today, he will be the first to score than link!

Westbrook crossed the midfield line without hesitation. He was watching Durant's position. Westbrook is not stupid. Sometimes he just wants to take responsibility, so it is easy to do some hot headed things.

But when he calms down, Westbrook is undoubtedly a good player.

Durant raised his long arm outside the right three-point line to signal Westbrook for the ball.

But just as Westbrook passed the ball out, link ran into Durant very rudely!

He's not going to save energy on defense either!

”Ah? Today, the Grizzlies are facing Durant on the defensive end. It's link? I thought they'd let igordala defend Durant and liberate link on the offensive side Mike brin is a little surprised. Usually, it's igordala who goes to help link get the top scorer.

Originally, the Grizzlies arranged igordala to defend Durant today. But link went out and wanted to defend Durant himself.

It's not that link doesn't trust igordala's defensive ability, but that link wants to consume Durant's physical fitness. Igordala's defense was good, but it certainly wasn't as rough as link. After all, igordala did not have the hostility of link when facing Durant.After Durant was out of breath, igordala and Tony Allen took over.

For Durant, the grizzly bear has prepared several people to fight with him in a car!

Durant thought he could catch the ball easily, but suddenly he was brutally headed by link. As a result, Durant didn't catch the ball well. When he took the basketball down, the ball was a little unstable.

”Bad!” Durant's heart is not good, if it is against other defenders, the ball at most even if it is not dangerous. But in the face of link, Durant knows that any flaw is fatal!

Sure enough, in the moment when the basketball was out of control, link put out his long arm!

Durant rushed to the ball, but late, the basketball has been poked away by link.

”Steal, link grabbed KD as soon as he came up. Ha ha, this is really a wonderful defensive battle! KD has to be careful. He has to be tight at all times. It's a little bit of defensive against Grizzlies
