Chapter 573 (1/2)
In the second game of the series, Durant came with the determination to win. He knows how passive it is to go back to Oklahoma with a score of 0-2.
So Durant told himself today that he had to win at the FedEx stadium. He did it in the regular season, and in the playoffs, he could!
Durant, however, seems to have forgotten. The last time he won at the FedEx stadium, it took him 0.9 seconds to decide.
On the one hand, Durant can beat the Grizzlies in 0.9 seconds, which is the embodiment of his strength. But on the other hand, the Grizzlies lost only 0.9 seconds in the last, proving that they didn't let thunder take advantage of it!
So today, the Grizzlies remind Durant of how hard they played in the last game.
This game, the thunder team performance is reasonable, on Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka three. The rest, the score is not on the double, the efficiency is still poor.
The most typical is Kevin Martin, who should have shouldered the heavy responsibility. As a sixth man and the existence of the third attack point of a team, Martin made only 1 out of 10 shots today, lost 5 shots from 3 points, and took 2 points!
It's not terrible to get only 2 points. What's terrible is to take only 2 points with the resources of 10 shots, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Kevin Martin is just a representative, and the rest of the thunder team is not so bad, but not without responsibility.
In contrast, the Grizzlies, link and Durant today did not fight, but played team basketball.
Grizzlies first five tigers all scored in double, on the bench, Tobias Harris and Nick Young scored in double digits.
So today, although Durant had 36 points, Westbrook had 21. But in the face of a huge comprehensive gap, thunder finally defeated 97-105!
After two consecutive defeats in the series, Durant felt his head ”boom” and become a blank at the end of the game.
”Ten wins in a row, this is the 10th win in the playoffs for the Grizzlies this year! In the first two rounds, the Grizzlies swept their opponents with a total score of 4-0. In this round, the Grizzlies won two games in a row! It's the second longest consecutive playoff record in NBA history
Mike brin didn't expect that if he was not careful, he would be the birth of another historical record.
The Grizzlies are the only team that remains unbeaten in the playoffs, and has won ten consecutive playoffs, ranking second in NBA history.
Mike brin can guarantee that a lot of people are dumbfounded right now. They must have thought that the game would be very intense and might even be dragged into overtime.
Because thunder can't accept the situation of 0-2, they are bound to fight back.
But in fact, the Grizzlies won the clean. Don't look at the difference is only 8 points, in this high level of competition, 8 points difference is not small.
Mike brin's guess is right. Many people make complaints about this result, including Dwayne Wade, who just received James's call.
”That's how it turned out to be 2-0? Oklahoma thunder, is that going to be done? ” Wade has been asking himself this question.
At the moment of victory, innumerable colored scraps of paper fell from FedEx's sense of the ball. I don't know. I thought the Grizzlies had won the championship.
But it's worth celebrating, because it's the closest grizzly bear has ever been out of the West!
Durant and Westbrook left the court with their heads down. For them, today is unfortunate and lucky.
Unfortunately, thunder is quite dangerous now. Let Grizzlies win another game, win a point, and the other side will get match point.
But fortunately, after this game, thunder will finally return to their warm and sweet home. There are fans who support them to the end. There is a glimmer of hope for them.
Durant didn't want to give up his dream of championship like this. He told himself that he could not be discouraged.
Starting with Oklahoma, he's going to change the playoffs.
After the game, he scored 22 points and 5 rebounds, but sent out 9 assists. He was interviewed by the reporter.
The question is simple, ”the next game will be in Oklahoma City, will you find it difficult?”
In front of the camera, link did not speak out, nor did he continue to spray Durant. Instead, he was very calm. ”No, speaking of it, I quite like that city.”
Oklahoma City, that's the beginning of link's career.
The Grizzlies are 2-0 ahead of thunder, which is an unexpected outcome for most people. Thunder in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs are invincible, but in the face of the Grizzlies, it seems that some can not.
In fact, the thunder fell to this point is not without reason, first of all, thunder's replacement thickness is not enough.
Before, they had Hadden, who was proud. But now, there's only one Kevin Martin who's on the move.
