One Thousand One Hundred and Forty: It’s Time to Wear the Gang

Durant appeared on the Warriors' bench wearing a suit, with a confident smile on his face and seemed confident about the game.

Although Durant will not play today, he is still sought after by the fans at the scene.

Waves of cheers came from the stands, proving his popularity at Oracle Arena.

But soon, the cheers turned into boos. Durant turned his head and saw, sure enough, everyone from the Grizzlies team appeared.

Those guys always get the highest level of "welcome" and "reception" at Oracle Arena.

"Memphis Grizzlies VS Golden State Warriors, no matter how many times you watch the matchup between them, you will never get bored. Before the start of this game, players and fans from both sides have already created enough gimmicks on the Internet. Now , it’s time to make a conclusion in the regular season.”

After Mike Breen finished speaking, he looked at the fanatical fans around him.

Although this is only a regular season game, although the Warriors' plan to win first place in the Western Conference is basically impossible to achieve.

But even so, Oakland fans are still very enthusiastic. The atmosphere of this game was simply playoff level.

Link started to warm up immediately after coming out. Although the Warriors did not have Durant, Link did not relax at all.

And Mike Breen also discovered that when he saw Link coming out to warm up, the original confident smile on Durant's face disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there was anxiety revealed by a slight frown.

Mike Breen shook his head. This is probably the expression Durant should be showing now.

It’s no secret that no one on the Warriors can match up with Link.

Anyone who has done a little serious analysis will know that Link has no opponent at all today. Unless, Cole uses Green to play the three position, and then sends two inside players to defend against the Grizzlies twin towers.

But according to the Warriors' style, it is impossible for them to play this kind of lineup. If the Warriors do this, the space they are proud of will disappear.

Therefore, the Warriors will be directly exposed to Link's powerful firepower today without any protection!

Not to mention the Warriors players, even Mike Breen is worried for the Warriors.

So seeing Durant become anxious,

Mike Brin felt normal.

Yeah, that guy wants to look confident in front of the fans and the media.

But no matter how much you pretend to be the same before the game, your secret will soon be exposed after entering the game...

Golden State Warriors, how should we resist Link's attack today? Judging from Link's state today...he won't be polite to the Warriors.

Kerr gritted his teeth and looked at the Grizzlies lineup, shaking his head secretly.

If he had successfully caught Andre Iguodala, the Warriors would not have such troubles now.

Durant's absence is a huge blow to the Warriors. This season, when the Warriors have a complete lineup, their record against the Grizzlies is only 1 win and 2 losses.

Now without a general, Cole really doesn't know what to do.

If this game is just an ordinary game, then if you lose, you will lose.

But as luck would have it, Durant and Green had made this game so exciting.

Now, all of Oakland is waiting for the Warriors to win, and the eyes of basketball fans around the world are focused on this.

If the Warriors can't win, God knows how much they will be drowned in saliva.

Cole didn't think much more. The matter was over, and he could only hold on like Durant and Green.

Before the game started, Stephen A. Smith interviewed Green, and his question was very straightforward: "Durant's absence will definitely greatly reduce the strength of the Warriors. Do you really think you can lose Durant?" Can you contain Link?"

Faced with such a straightforward question, Green chose to continue to pretend to be tough: "We will fight back with Kevin's share. He just needs to wait for victory on the sidelines. Today, in Oakland, the Grizzlies will It’s scary to see the defending champion.”

"Pfft!" Stephen A. Smith didn't laugh out loud at all. If he hadn't carefully analyzed the pros and cons of the two teams, he might have believed Green's lies.

That guy pretended to be stupid without a blushing face, and it was really easy to confuse others.

"Really? Then I can only wish you good luck, Draymond." After Smith said this, he ended the interview.

He wants to see how the Warriors can continue to pretend to be calm on the court.

Amid loud cheers from the fans, the referee threw the ball into the air. Gasol won the first offensive ball for the Grizzlies, and Cole's face instantly became very ugly.

Due to Durant's injury, the Warriors started today with McCaw, Curry, Thompson, Green and Pachulia.

They used three guards on the outside!

It's just that McCaw and Thompson are both over 2 meters tall, and McCaw was selected to the All-Defensive Team in the NCAA and has a very good defensive foundation.

With him and Thompson teaming up, the Warriors don't seem to have much of a problem defending the wings.

On the surface, the Warriors seem to have perfectly filled the void left by Durant's absence. Although McCaw can't match Durant's offensive firepower, he can at least defend.

As long as you can defend, you won't be held back.

But whether he can guard against Link is another matter.

In the first possession of the game, Conley passed the ball to Link.

Kerr's expression became more nervous. Also, the Grizzlies have been playing in this style since losing to the Pacers.

warm up? transition? Test?

It doesn't exist. In every game the Grizzlies play recently, they seem to be eager to defeat them in the first quarter!

Klay Thompson is very nervous. Since Durant joined last season, he has rarely faced off against Link.

But he has not forgotten that before Durant joined the Warriors, he was horribly dominated by Link.

Thompson is a defensive warrior in front of ordinary players, but in front of stars, Thompson's defense is not enough to pose a threat.

Link motioned for everyone to pull away, he was going to seize the weak point of the warrior and attack!

Facing Klay Thompson who lacked defensive aggressiveness, Link used a crossover with a huge arc.

If James was defending this ball, he would definitely attack Link immediately.

If it were Durant who was guarding Link now, he would definitely open his long arms and try to stop Link's breakthrough.

However, Thompson was unable to do either of the above two responses!

His lack of aggressive defense prevented him from providing Link with a powerful confrontation in time. His physical condition is not as good as Durant's, which also prevents him from using his wingspan to increase the defensive area.

After Link changed direction, he kicked the ground suddenly and passed by Thompson with a "whoosh" sound.

The most confusing change of direction in the league coupled with the fastest first step in the league was enough for Link to throw Thompson out of the sky.

After breaking through Thompson, Green immediately stepped up to defend. The Warriors' strategy today is very simple. They would rather let the rest of the Grizzlies score than let Link go completely crazy!

But before Green interfered, Link made a very gentle emergency stop and shot.

His take-off height is sufficient, his shooting movement is fast, but his shooting movement is very complete.

This picturesque emergency mid-range shot is a scene that is rare to see in this era that only focuses on three-pointers and breakthroughs.

"brush!"

Wonderful scenery must be matched with wonderful notes.

The basketball went hollow into the net, and Link easily scored on the Warrior's head as soon as he came up!

"Damn it!" Cole sighed. From the current point of view, Link is indeed unstoppable today. Thompson's defense is too academic and cannot stop Link at all. .

Durant gritted his teeth. If he could play... at least he wouldn't let Link score so easily.

After scoring the goal, Link did not show off to Thompson, but pointed at Durant who was sitting on the bench at this time.

"I will destroy the warrior with my own hands. Sit down and enjoy it!"

Link's tone was very firm and his expression was quite serious.

This shows that Link is not talking trash to Durant, but is giving him a warning!

Durant must be held accountable for his previous transgressions today. What could be more cruel than destroying the Warriors in front of him?

Cole also heard Link's roar, but he did not feel desperate.

At least on the offensive end, the Warriors can still fight!

He waved his big hand, signaling everyone to attack patiently.

However, any team that plays against the Grizzlies this season seems to have no good ending...

Stephen A. Smith laughed happily. The false strength shown by the Warriors before the start of this game was about to give way.
