One Hundred and Seventy-Seven: 1 Moment of History

Shane Battier was on the sidelines with his Grizzlies teammates. Of course, the Grizzlies' staffing has changed dramatically from a decade ago.

Gasol is still there, just turned into his younger brother Mark. Randolph moved forward bravely and made each other with the Grizzlies.

But in Shane's view, Link is the key to the Grizzlies.

Everyone stood up, hooked each other's shoulders, and stared intently at the court.

On the court, Mike Conley's push made everyone on the Thunder despair. The Grizzlies players on the sidelines gritted their teeth one by one and looked at the arena with anticipation-the Grizzlies were about to usher in their first playoff victory in team history!

"Mike Conley stopped at the 3-point line, now there are only 2 minutes left, and the Grizzlies lead the Thunder by 12 points. There is no need for him to rush, Conley wants to use up the last 24 seconds of attack time! Kevin Harlan looked around, the Chesapeake Energy Arena has become dead.

Since the second quarter of the game, Randolph and Link cooperated beautifully to widen the point difference to 11 points, and the Thunder have been passive until now. Thunder fans have also been suppressed until now.

Westbrook and James. Harden's performance is not satisfactory, the former scores a lot, but the shooting rate is too low. The latter made only 2 of 6 shots and scored only 5 points under Link's defense, obviously not fulfilling the responsibility of a sixth man.

Among them, Westbrook is the main reason why the Thunder are now in danger. His irrational shots and gambling defenses made the Thunder extremely passive.

If it weren't for Durant, the scoring champion, the score difference might have been even wider.

Westbrook is a little anxious, he is not willing to lose the game like this, because he had a chance to be the protagonist today.

In the first quarter, he scored 10 points in 5 of 7 quarters. At the time, Westbrook absolutely thought it was going to be his night.

But in the second quarter, he was 1 of 5 and 1 of 3 in the third. The fourth quarter has hit so far, 2 of 7, and the efficiency is still not high.

Westbrook hopes that he can quickly get back to the state of the first quarter and reverse the situation. So, this guy suddenly sprinted very uncomfortably and took the risk of stealing!

"Don't!" Thunder coach Scott Brooks shouted off the court, but it was too late. Westbrook dashed like Conley, reaching for the ball.

In the NBA, the most taboo is actually gambling steals. If you can grab it, it will naturally be a huge reward, and you will be able to form a fast break directly.

But if it fails, the defender is directly giving the attacker space.

Conley's reaction is very sensitive. At the moment Westbrook sprints over, he pulls the ball to the right in a large arc, dodging Westbrook's steal, and then breaks directly!

"Westbrook's gamble steals failed again, he's too cool, Russell shouldn't be so frizzy against a mature guard like Mike Conley! That's the biggest disadvantage of the Thunder, they're too young, they're inexperienced !"

After Conley's breakthrough, Harden immediately came over to make up the defense. Conley looked straight ahead, but his wrist hit the ball to the right and passed the ball without looking at anyone!

"It's Link, he was vacated by Harden! Link makes a mid-range shot. If this goal is scored, the Thunder will be in big trouble!"

As soon as Kevin Harlan finished speaking, the basketball entered the net. His mid-range shooting is so stable that Thunder fans are terrified, and Link seems to them like a mid-range shooting machine that can't go wrong!

Shane smiled off the field, and found that he liked this kid more and more.

"The ball was scored, and Link widened the lead to 14 points with just over a minute left in the game! The game is losing suspense, and the Thunder have one foot off the cliff!" Jeff Van Gundy Saying that, he looked down at Link's data sheet for today.

With 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Link scored 20+ points in the first game of the playoffs, which is the highest among all rookies in the 2009 class!

Speaking of,

How many rookies in 2009 participated in the playoffs? Griffin, Wall, Cousins ​​and other high-profile future superstars have begun to take time off.

And those rookies who are fortunate enough to have participated in the playoffs have not performed on a par with Link. In the 76ers' playoff game against the Heat, Evan Turner only played 5 minutes in garbage time and only scored 2 points.

Link's good friend Paul George got the chance to start in the Pacers-Bulls series, but in 23 minutes, George only made 2 shots and scored only 2 points, saying that he has completely become a A little transparency is not enough.

Jeff Van Gundy finds it hard to believe that the guy who entered the NBA mid-season as an undrafted player has become the most suitable rookie for the playoffs this year. His status in the Grizzlies is not as simple as a rookie. It can be said that Link plays a huge role in the Grizzlies' system.

Without him, the Grizzlies' combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. Van Gundy shook his head, and Link might become the biggest draft bead in NBA history.

The moment Link scored, the Grizzlies players on the court side jumped up. Battier gritted his teeth, since he joined the Grizzlies until now, Battier's career has passed 10 years. In 10 years, his biggest regret is never helping the Grizzlies win a game in the playoffs.

But now, it's almost here! Shane is very fortunate to be able to return in the most glorious period of the Grizzlies!

Link didn't slack off after scoring a goal. He knew that in the playoffs, he must persevere until the end to know who the winner is. Today Link didn't make many shots in the third quarter, but once he did, it was almost fatal. Because of his obsession with winning, he was not allowed to make any mistakes.

"The Thunder must make this offense, otherwise the situation will be too difficult for them! The point difference has been widened to 14 points. If the Thunder don't want to lose the home court, they must make no mistakes from now on!"

"It's hard to say, Jeff. But don't forget, the Thunder are a very young team, from the team to the coaches to the players. It's almost inevitable for a young team to make mistakes. matter!"

As soon as Kevin Harlan finished speaking, the Thunder made a mistake. Westbrook, this Tie Hanhan, played a simple pick-and-roll with Ibaka from beyond the three-point line, and then made a direct three-point shot!

again! Westbrook made the decision to pit teammates.

It can be seen that Westbrook is trying to make up for the mistakes on the defensive end with goals. But this hard-headed guy often makes bigger mistakes because of this.

Durant was stunned. At the critical moment, he couldn't catch the ball? Who is the league's scoring champion this season? Durant should be himself, not Westbrook, if I remember correctly.

Westbrook's three-point shooting this season has improved significantly compared to last season, from 22.1% to 33.0%. But if you thought Westbrook was really getting the 3-pointer, you'd be wrong. This guy's 3-point range is very inconsistent, and his shot has never been reliable.

Sure enough, Westbrook's rush shot ended in a blackout. Randolph grabbed his 13th rebound of the day and handed the ball to Conley. Scott Brooks swallowed, he knew that this game was almost impossible to move back.

"Westbrook ruined the Thunder's chance for a comeback with two consecutive mistakes. However, this is the price of youth." Mike Brin finished and glanced at the Grizzlies' bench.

The celebration later on may be quite lively. Even though, no one here will support them.

But speaking, Link is also a young man, but he hardly made any mistakes today. Westbrook, the excuse of being young doesn't last a lifetime.

In the last minute of the game, Link was already a little absent-minded. He just wants the game to be over now, and he can't wait to embrace the victory.

If this game is won, the Grizzlies, Link, Conley, Pau Gasol and many others will usher in their first playoff victory! Of course, this will also be the beginning of their next crimes!

The last minute was almost the longest minute Link felt. The Thunder began to use foul tactics, so the game was repeatedly interrupted, and time was forced to stop time and time again.

Link could see the desperate expressions of the Thunder fans in the stands, but he enjoyed it. The big villain is what brings despair to people!

Finally, when Ibaka fouled Randolph, who made two free throws to keep the lead at 14 points, Scott Brooks used his last timeout. But everyone is very clear that the purpose of this suspension is not to lay out strategies, but to announce the arrival of garbage time!

In the last 12 seconds of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder raised the white flag!

The Thunder kicked off, but Westbrook had stopped attacking. After he had the ball over half court, he stopped. The rest of the Thunder didn't move either, and they've fully embraced the loss of the game.

Five seconds before the end of the game, Westbrook put the ball on the ground, and the Thunder players began to walk down the tunnel before the game was over. And the Grizzlies players raised their arms one by one, celebrating their victory in this arena without cheers!

"Beep~~~~~" The electronic buzzer finally sounded, and Sean Shane Battier rushed into the court from the bench for the first time!

In the whole game, Shane Battier scored 10 points on 4 of 5 shots. Such data can't be compared to left and right games. But his two key goals in the Thunder's counterattack made the Grizzlies' young people stabilize their mentality.

After ten years of waiting, this moment has finally come. The first hug after Battier rushed to the court was Link. Link was not the most amazing data today. Randolph's 34 points and 13 rebounds and Durant's 33 points and 11 rebounds were the most terrible today. two data.

But Shane believes that Link's appearance is likely to completely change the fate of the Grizzlies. Winning in the playoffs will be the norm for the Grizzlies from now on.

"It was a great win, the Grizzlies gave the Thunder a home game, and they came back to No. 4 as No. 5. And most importantly, this group of players gave the Grizzlies the No. 1 in franchise history. A playoff win! Their names will be forever remembered in Memphis Grizzlies history, and they may usher in a whole new era for the Grizzlies!"

The "ruthless" villain defeated the bright and stalwart "Prince" and ran wild on his territory.

This "evil bear", which has made heroes from all walks of life fall into the sand, will continue to wreak havoc in the playoffs!

Link clenched his fists and waved his arms at the Thunder stand. He believes that the first win in the playoffs is just the beginning.
