One Thousand and Fifty-Five: I Was Interrupted Halfway Through

Durant didn't want to end his suppression of Link.

If it wasn't for the purpose of defeating Link, he wouldn't have joined the Warriors despite the infamy.

Last season, he finally got his wish, defeating Link, ending the Grizzlies' dynasty and winning the championship.

But just once is not enough for Durant. Against Link, no number of wins is too many!

"Do you really think you can win?" Durant reached out to stop Link, cutting off his route without the ball. Of course, my mouth is not idle either.

After moving from the Thunder to the Warriors, Durant felt as if he had taken off a layer of mask.

So on the court, Durant's trash talk became much more than before, and he unleashed his true self with the Warriors.

Link didn't reply. He ran towards Conley who was controlling the ball and exchanged hands with Conley.

If you can score a goal on Durant's head right from the start, then he will naturally shut up!

After receiving the basketball, Link went straight to the penalty area, but as soon as he started, Klay Thompson immediately made up for it.

"What!?" Link was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Thompson would come to make up for him.

Just when Link was about to pass the ball to Wade, Thompson immediately defended it.

But the moment he suddenly jumped out, he had successfully slowed down Link.

Link was not afraid of confronting Thompson, but if he had just confronted him at that speed, he might have been called for an offensive foul.

Therefore, Link simply braked in advance.

As soon as Thompson returned, Durant immediately stepped on the defense again! His touch of defense bought time for Durant.

"Bang!"

Durant puffed up his chest and gave it a rough blow, stopping Link in mid-range.

Link didn't stop, but turned around and passed Durant and continued to hit the basket!

But when Link raised his hand to prepare for a layup, Durant and Draymond Green both jumped up, waiting for Link in the air like a double basket!

Moreover, when they took off to block, they also happened to cover Link's passing route to Gasol. Of course, it also eliminates the possibility of Link making a layup.

In short, Link has no choice but to hit this ball hard!

"Haha, you don't really think that we will always let you do whatever you want." Steve Kerr smiled on the sidelines.

Over the years, Cole has never given up studying Link. He has been looking for ways to contain Link.

After Durant joined the Warriors, there were more options to defend Link.

Therefore, it will only become more and more difficult for Link to score against the Warriors in the future. Link’s targeted settings in Warriors will come in more and more varieties.

Cole knew very well that as long as he restrained Link, he would restrain the throat of this era!

As long as they can defeat Link, the Warriors can rule this era!

Under the "double block" of Durant and Green, Link collided with them in the air.

In the end, the basketball failed to improve, and Link fell heavily to the ground!

The collision between the two sworn enemies was without mercy. As soon as it started, the intensity was raised to the highest level!

"Link fell, and Green and Durant guarded Link! The Warriors immediately counterattacked, and Steve Curry made an emergency three-pointer after halftime, and there it was! What a terrible shooting percentage, Terrible speed, terrible efficiency. The Golden State Warriors deserve to be the championship winners last season!"

Watching the Warriors' defense and counterattack in one go, Hubie Brown swallowed his saliva.

The Warriors counterattacked too quickly;

Not sloppy at all.

Moreover, their counterattack can end outside the three-point line, which further shortens the time and space required for the offense.

3-0, the Warriors took the lead. Durant and Green both laughed triumphantly, making Link feel embarrassed was their favorite thing.

"The Warriors' defense is very tight. They don't treat this as a regular season game at all! How about it? Do you want to try it in advance?"

Snyder frowned and looked very nervous. This kind of confrontation is clearly playoff level!

"The game has just begun, Quinn, it's not time yet." Joger waved his hand, not planning to make any adjustments.

In the second attack, Wade started to take offense.

Although Wade and the Warriors had nothing to do with each other before, now as a member of the Grizzlies, Wade is also very eager to defeat the Warriors.

However, Klay Thompson deliberately let Wade go today and was not afraid of Wade's three-point shot at all.

Although Wade killed the Knicks with a three-pointer in the season opener, he also scored 35 points like a flashback. Although Wade's three-point shooting percentage this season has reached a career high of 31.8%, and the number of three-pointers has far exceeded the 7 last season.

But even so, the Warriors still chose to let Wade shoot three-pointers.

It's not that Wade can't score three-pointers, but his efficiency in scoring three-pointers isn't enough to kill the game.

Of course, if he can really show the touch he had when playing against the Knicks, that would be another matter.

But that kind of feel doesn't come just by saying it.

Wade did take action, and he didn't intend to waste the opportunity Thompson left for him.

However, today, Wade's magical touch is obviously not online. His three-pointer hit the edge of the basket, indicating that the angle was not correct.

Varejao got the rebound, and the Warriors counterattacked quickly again!

"Hahaha, I have long said that it is impossible for a great star to help the Grizzlies defeat the Warriors. Look at Wade, look at him! Do you think he can still turn the tide like he did in 2006!?"

After Wade hit the iron, Green yelled on the court. It's obvious that he's not afraid of being heard bad-mouthing Wade.

This time, the Grizzlies' defense was very good, interrupting the Warriors' quick counterattack.

When the Grizzlies won their third championship in 2015, they had already developed the ability to interrupt the opponent's quick counterattack.

Although the Grizzlies had two great defensive players in Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen, who was still at the end of his prime, now, Wade and Harris' defense is not weak either. Therefore, the restored defensive skills have not declined too much.

Seeing the Warriors being forced into a positional battle, Grizzlies fans cheered excitedly.

Position defense is the Grizzlies' strength! That time in 2015, the Warriors were tortured by the Grizzlies' positional defense.

Seeing this situation, Curry immediately handed the ball to Durant.

When Durant faced Link, he didn't intend to break through with the ball, but advanced with his back!

"Fuck!" Link gritted his teeth while resisting Durant.

Durant is playing smarter than before and knows how to maximize his strengths.

Post-up play is the best way to take advantage of Durant's height!

Durant advanced to the mid-range with his back and suddenly turned to the left!

Link followed and moved a small step. He actually knew that this was probably a fake move, but he had to follow.

If he doesn't follow up, if Durant really shoots, it will be too late to interfere.

Facing a scorer of Durant's level, the defensive hesitation must be controlled in milliseconds!

Seeing Link move half a step, Durant turned around in the opposite direction and took a jump shot!

To outsiders, Link's defense was already watertight, and he immediately pounced on him to interfere.

But Link himself knew that this ball was still slow!

"brush!"

Durant's mid-range turnaround jumper hit the net, and he singled out Link successfully!

In 2015, the Warriors would be blinded once they entered a positional battle because they did not have a single player who could forcefully break through Link's defense. Therefore, the Grizzlies' position defense gives the Warriors a huge headache.

But it's different now, they have an "icebreaker" like Kevin Durant! Even in the face of positional defense, he can still break through the cracks!

There is Curry for quick counterattacks, Durant for strong attacks, Thompson without the ball, and Green for defense.

In just two rounds, the Warriors showed their terrifying strength.

"Galactic Battleship" is worthy of its name!

After Durant scored, he pumped his fist excitedly and then started chattering to Link.

"Did you see it? This is the gap. Today I..."

Durant wanted to put on a show, but mid-sentence, Link suddenly accelerated and threw away half of Durant's body.

Durant hurriedly followed up, but Link stopped suddenly outside the three-point line. At the same time, Conley sent the ball to Link, and Link caught the ball and shot!

Durant kept a hand and did not throw all his weight out to interfere with the shot. Sure enough, Link was pretending to be a real shooter.

This time, Durant was not fooled!

Link blocked it, and at the same time, Green also came to help defend.

The two of them were going to repeat their old tricks and cover Link like a "bird trap".

Link walked to the basket and prepared for a layup. Green and Durant both jumped up and blocked the ball.

In the end, Link’s move was still a fake move!

After dangling Durant and Green at the same time, Link turned around and made a jump shot, and easily made the ball.

"Boom!" The scene was shaken. Link's goal was such a relief!

"Haha, with beautiful steps under the basket, Link knocked away Durant and Green at the same time. They were both fooled!"

"Damn!" Durant and Green blushed, and they were both knocked away by each other. How embarrassing!

After scoring the goal, Link made a "shh" gesture at Durant, "Don't beep in my ear, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Of course, you have to listen to my nonsense, because you can't shut me up." "

Durant was so angry that he was forcibly interrupted by Link in the middle of his pretense, and in the end he even watched Link pretend for a while.

Where is this!

Link's goal gave the Grizzlies hope. A star of his level cannot be easily controlled by Cole. Even if two people are defending, Link can still score!

But can Link really win the game if he fights alone?

Joger held his chin. The Grizzlies couldn't repeat the old path of last season.
