One Hundred and Seventy-Nine: Fishing in Advance?

The NBA isn't just a business, it's actually one of the attractions of competitive sports.

Even if the NBA is indeed a business league, there are indeed many human stories in it.

Before crossing over, Link had limited understanding of the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies were undoubtedly an unpopular team in China at that time. But when he actually became a part of this team, he discovered the beauty of this team.

Well, the summer signing is two months away after all. Now, Link's main task is to continue to perform well in the playoffs.

The fight in the series was so intense that it didn't give people a chance to breathe at all. With just a day off after Game 1, the Grizzlies' players immediately went into Game 2. Although the playoffs are not back-to-back, there is no need to run back and forth in a short period of time. But due to the increase in the intensity of the game, to be honest, the consumption is actually much larger than the regular season.

There are many young people on the Thunder team, and the physical problem is not so obvious. But on the Grizzlies side, the second game was obviously full of fatigue.

After half of the first quarter of the second game, the Grizzlies took the lead 8-7. Neither team scored in double figures and the shooting percentage was very low. After that, Durant began to show his power. He made two consecutive three-pointers within 38 seconds, helping the Thunder to launch a wave of 11-2 attacks, and the Thunder began to lead.

After Hollins was suspended, he originally hoped that the Black and White Bears could explode the Thunder's interior like the previous game, but the Thunder obviously did their homework. This time, the Grizzlies' offense didn't go so well.

The main reason for the Thunder's defeat at home in the first battle was that, in addition to Link's steady performance, he also had 46 and 23 rebounds due to the combined efforts of Randolph and Gasol. The Thunder scored 46 points inside, which was an insult to Kendrick Perkins. Perkins is undoubtedly trying to regain his face through the second battle, so today this guy is in a burst!

The Thunder's adjustment today is obvious, that is, to strengthen the defense at the basket and force the Grizzlies to shoot outside. Under the excellent performance of Perkins and the clear defensive tactics of the Thunder, they have done a great job today, and Randolph and Gasol have not been able to call the shots like the first game. In addition, the black and white bears are all tired today, so the efficiency on the offensive end is very low.

The Grizzlies were forced to make mid-range shots and their hit rate plummeted, falling behind 17-28 in the first quarter. Durant's defense against Link is also very tight today. Link is not a superstar yet, so he may indeed be restricted.

In the second quarter of the game, seeing that the inside attack did not work, Hollins increased the proportion of the Grizzlies' outside attack. The combination of Link and Conley Jr. has helped the Grizzlies' offense improve, both of whom belong to the type of master who can not only score by himself, but also create good opportunities for his teammates.

The Grizzlies closed in on the good play from Link and Conley. A 54-55, 1-point deficit is nothing for the Grizzlies.

After the start of the second half, the breathless Randolph and Gasol were still playing badly, and these two guys couldn't make even the simplest shots today. It has to be said that big players do consume more energy than others.

In the third quarter, James Harden began to show the head of the "Porcelain King". He repeatedly broke through and caused Link to foul, which made Link miserable. The referee's whistle was too biased towards the Thunder today, and Link sometimes couldn't dodge if he wanted to. Relying on free throws, Harden scored a lot of points in the third quarter. This was the first time Link was suppressed by Harden.

After three quarters, the score became 68-76. The Grizzlies trailed by eight points and looked hopeful. After all, the Grizzlies have always been known for their tenacity.

However, in the fourth quarter, the accident happened again. Eric Maynor, the little-known Thunder player, became the last straw to crush the Grizzlies.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Meno, who came off the bench and did not perform well in the first three quarters, hit three three-pointers in a row, and the difference was widened at once! The state of Randolph and Pau Gasol has not recovered yet, and the Grizzlies are thrown farther and farther.

Because of the presence of Maynor, Scott Brooks dared to let the main players rest for a few more minutes.

It wasn't until halfway through the fourth quarter that the Thunder's main force reappeared.

At this time, Durant, Westbrook and Harden are all energetic, while the Grizzlies are already emaciated. No matter how powerful Link is, it is impossible to solve all the attacks of the Thunder Three Young Masters at once.

The Grizzlies still played a brilliant performance at the last moment. Conley suddenly felt hot with three-pointers. He and Link led the Grizzlies to a 14-2 offensive climax.

But unfortunately, the game time is coming. Before the Grizzlies overtake the score, the electronic buzzer sounded.

"At the end of the game, the Oklahoma City Thunder pulled back a city at home! 111 to 104, the Grizzlies are only 7 points away from winning the game, and their tenacious battle is at the end. But unfortunately, there can only be one winner in the game. The Thunder caught the Grizzlies' inside attack today, which is the biggest reason for their loss today." After watching the performance of the Black and White Bears after the opening game, Kevin Harlan was no longer surprised by the final result.

The invincible Randolph in the last game made only 2 of 13 shots today, and his poor state was met with the Thunder's strengthened interior defense, allowing Randolph to hit a shameful 15.4% hit rate.

Pau Gasol made 3 of 9 shots in the game, and his mid-range shots were basically all iron. During this period, Pau Gasol's mid-range shots were actually not as stable as people thought. Perkins bet today on the shot of the small plus, and he bet right.

In the case of black and white bears all fall, Link and Conley can only come forward. Conley had 24 points and 8 assists, and made 3 of 5 three-pointers. Link scored 16 points, 4 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal under Durant's entanglement, and his performance was not bad.

However, the Thunder's three juniors all scored 20 points, and Eric Maynor's sudden explosion at the end made Link and Conley a little bit overwhelmed.

Durant and Westbrook are okay, after all, they have been so strong, averaging 20+ points per game is the norm. 4-for-3 from 3-point range, 6-for-7 shooting and 15 points for Meno, Link didn't find it so annoying. After all, whose child cries every day?

What annoys Link the most is Harden, who scored 21 points. Harden only made 9 shots today and only 5 goals in sports battles. These data are lower than Link's, but he ended up taking Billing. Gram higher 21 points!

This is because Harden won 11 free throws today and made 11 of 11 free throws! Being beaten by his opponent by making a foul made Link very unhappy.

Today's Harden has already shown Link the style of his first touch with the porcelain king in the future.

After the game, the Thunder players were extremely excited. They moved the total score to a 1-1 draw. Although the last two games will be played at the Grizzlies' home court, today's victory has given the Thunder a great confidence.

Looking at the Thunder players celebrating their victory on the court, Link panted and looked up at Randolph. Randolph, sweating profusely, spread out his hands helplessly.

"The playoffs are like this, you have to get used to such moments. The most important thing is to keep fighting spirit and continue to play well in the next game." Randolph seems to be very open, for him Wins and losses in series are normal.

Unless one team is a lot better than the other, there are bound to be winners and losers in the series.

"You're right Zach, the next game is going to return to our home court, so we have to continue to be aggressive. Will you stay and practice shooting tomorrow?" Link did not continue to struggle with the loss of this game. , people. You can't live in the past forever.

"Extra practice? No, I have a better winning plan!" Randolph looked at Link with a smirk.

"what's the plan?"

"Go fishing," Randolph answered lightly.

"What?"

"Go fishing in the Mississippi, my friend has a boat and we can get out, that's my plan."

Link stopped and stood still. Fishing in advance? That's not a good sign, Zach.
