Two Hundred and Thirty-Three: More than a Scorer

90-91, the Thunder led by 1 in the final three minutes. Kevin Durant threw a punch after scoring the goal, and the taciturn tall man expressed his emotions with his actions and expressions.

Westbrook kept applauding Durant, but he still couldn't hide the embarrassment that he couldn't score after four quarters.

0 in 11, this data can be said to be very Westbrook.

And Durant has scored 28 points so far, 8 of 15, and the shooting rate is close to 60%!

Link scored a full 10 points less than Durant, but had nine assists compared to Durant. So from the data, it's hard to tell who won and who lost.

But soon, the battle between the two will come to an end.

"James, you played in the last three minutes. I need you to deal with every attack calmly." Scott Brooks chose to replace Westbrook in the last three minutes, which was also helpless.

Westbrook went 0 for 11, and Harden hit 5 of 11 and scored 20 points. It does not seem to be a difficult choice who the head coach should use at the last moment.

Westbrook didn't say much and sat down on the bench with his head down. His performance today is here, and there is really no capital to ask for playing time.

On the Grizzlies side, Hollins is still the same lineup. Link, Tony Allen, Guy and the black and white bears all played. This is the lineup of the Grizzlies to end the game.

"In the last three minutes, the Thunder replaced Westbrook. I would say, it was probably a very correct decision. Now, the Thunder have both Harden and Durant scoring points at the same time, and their last-minute firepower will be Big trouble for the Grizzlies."

Durant looked up at the score after he got on the court, and the Grizzlies really weren't that easy to beat. But now Westbrook will not mess up again, Durant is confident to win the game!

Of course, he still has one more exciting thing now - Brooks finally let him guard Link!

Because of Harden's limited defensive ability, Brooks asked Harden to guard Tony Allen. And Durant, naturally, justifiably returned to Link's side!

In the last three minutes, Durant is eager to put an end to it all!

At the end of the timeout, the Grizzlies sent the baseline ball, and Link, as always, controlled the ball past halftime. Durant stepped forward immediately, he couldn't wait!

"This time, Russell won't bother us." Durant finally spoke, which showed how excited he was.

"Westbrook will be sad to hear you say that," Link responded before dangling the ball to Randolph.

Link's thinking is very clear, and he will not affect his thinking because of the provocation of others. He knows how to provoke people, so he is rarely irritated.

After giving the ball to Randolph, Link immediately cut to the basket. But Durant remained at his side, not letting him catch the ball.

However, Link's empty cut is just to attract defense. Randolph's real passing target is Gay!

"Rudy Gay gets the basketball, and Sefolosha sticks to him. Gay makes a jumper!"

The opportunity is out, but unfortunately, Guy's hit rate is really bad today.

This shot is already Guy's 21st shot. Gay got a lot of shots today due to Link's switch to the 1 position. His shot ratio is even higher than Durant!

However, the hit rate is less than 40%. Guy's mid-range selection is sometimes really unpredictable.

This time, Guy strikes again. He hated it himself, but Sefolosha's defense was an inch away from Guy.

Hollins covered his head, Gay scored 14 points efficiently in the last game, and also showed his willingness to be his deputy. But today, everything is back to normal.

"Rudy Gay missed a shot, the Thunder have a chance... No, Randolph is actively fighting for offensive rebounds!" Hubie Brown suddenly changed his words in the middle of his words, and the Grizzlies really never won the critical moment give up easily!

Randolph and Ibaka got together,

Although Randolph failed to grab the rebound directly, he still set the basketball up again, and neither side grabbed the rebound!

After the basketball fell again, Link rushed up to grab the rebound immediately! In the air, Link was slammed hard by Ibaka and Durant. But he still stabilized his center of gravity and steadily protected the rebound!

"Another offensive rebound, the Grizzlies got a second offense. This is their characteristic, and they are as active in their offensive rebounds as ever!"

"Damn it!" Durant was furious, but he was robbed of an offensive rebound even after he was defending. This is undoubtedly one of the most frustrating things on the basketball court.

Link took the ball to the three-point line again, and his current data has also become 18 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds. If it wasn't obvious that Link was all-around last season, this year, even if you're just a new fan who only looks at stats, you can see Link's all-around.

Link knew that the Thunder were serious, and it would be too risky to continue to let Guy shoot. So Link waved his hand, and he decided to come by himself!

Randolph arrived for a screen, but Link didn't go to the side with the screen, just a fake pick-and-roll!

Link's speed was not enough for him to completely get rid of Durant and get to the basket, so Link ran towards the baseline. Then, before Durant rushes in, he throws the board with one hand.

This was another "atypical" offense, and Link actually looked like he was throwing the ball at random. But his good touch and awareness allow him to frequently hit the ball that doesn't look like a shot or a hit.

The basketball rubbed the board and refracted into the net, and Link scored his 20th point!

"Go ahead again! When Link and Durant met, there was a spark! An offensive rebound and a beautiful goal, Link bravely stood up, and he made the Grizzlies climb back from the cliff!"

Playing the wheel with Jimmy Butler and Tony Allen is still useful, and now Link is used to playing under high pressure.

In the next round, Durant found that Link had also returned to him. Instead of defending the 1, he went back to the 3! Harden will be handed over to Tony Allen to deal with.

This was Hollins' helpless move, because Tony Allen and Guy didn't do well in defending Durant today, so Link could only try.

Link has just got Durant on offense, now it's up to defense.

However, Durant is now full of anger, and he has no "shackles" from Westbrook. After he broke through, he suddenly stopped, and Link thought Durant was going to shoot.

As everyone knows, Durant turned around and excelled, and Link was cleaned up!

Durant moved to the basket and made an easy layup. Thunder overtakes again, Durant 30 points!

"It's really troublesome!" Link wiped his sweat with his collar and teased Westbrook for the whole game. Now he still has to face the big trouble of Durant.

In the next few rounds, the Thunder and the Grizzlies had each other's offense and defense, but neither Link nor Durant missed.

Link made a three-pointer but was sentenced to step on the line, adding two more points. Durant sat down and beat Link one, back singles, which is also Durant's new skill.

So far, Link has 22 points, Durant has 10 of 17 points, 32 points! Thunder is still 1 point ahead!

With 30 seconds left in the game, Durant knew very well that as long as he held on to these 30 seconds, everything would be over!

Coach Hollins called a timeout, the last time the Grizzlies had. Hollins' tactic was to let Link use the screen to play singles. He did not give Randolph and Guy the offense at this critical moment, but gave Link to it.

It can be seen that something in the Grizzlies is quietly changing.

"Kevin, in the last 30 seconds, you only need to defend this ball, and we will win! I know you want to beat Link, this is the best chance!" On the other hand, Brooks also inspired Durant.

As long as he wins today's game, even if Link defends Westbrook 0-for-11, it won't help!

Link had already guessed that this would be the case against the Thunder, so he wasn't nervous when he came on in the final 30 seconds.

Durant calmly pressed his center of gravity. Link scored 22 points today, which is high enough for Durant. He won't allow it, this guy makes another key shot!

"Link has the ball past halftime, let's see how the Grizzlies' final attack will be executed!"

Link dribbled the ball in place and waited for the time to run out. He didn't want to leave the Thunder too much time, and he was confident in this offense!

When there were 8 seconds left in the 24-second attack time, Link beckoned, and the black and white bears put up the double cover!

Hollins' tactic is to let Link use the cover to get rid of Durant. As long as he can get rid of Durant, Link will definitely end the game!

But this time Durant squeezed through the screen forcibly and just got in front of Link. He wanted to stop Link, but found that Link's confrontation ability this season was completely different from last season!

Link leaned on Durant to break through to the basket!

"Don't even think about it!" Durant shouted, and then jumped when Link jumped, ready to block!

"Will the Oklahoma City Thunder succeed!?" Hubie Brown felt his heart beating faster. This offense and defense might be the essence of this game!

In the air, Link was completely blocked. Durant is in the front, Ibaka is in the back, and both are tall and arm-length shot-blockers.

That's right, Ibaka. With Ibaka behind him, Link felt much more at ease.

Indeed, Link can single against Westbrook, and he can also hit the key ball on Durant's head just now.

But from start to finish, Link was more than a scorer!

Big black bear, it's up to you!

"It's not a layup, it's a pass! Link broke the ball and sent it to Zach Randolph! Randolph is holding the ball from beyond the three-point line, catching and shooting!"

Link has grown stronger this summer, and his offense with the ball has gotten better. And what about Randolph? The big black bear specially practiced his three-pointer!

In a completely unguarded situation, Randolph shot calmly, the basketball was impartial, and the net was hollow!

"The key assist is also Link's 10th assist in this game! With 22 points and 10 assists, the Grizzlies have just played their second game in the new NBA season, and Link scored a double-double!"

Randolph's goal gave the Grizzlies a 2-point lead over the Thunder in the last 8 seconds! This means that the Thunder have to return a 3 to win the game!

Durant looked at Link's data and sighed to himself. Even in the most tense moments, Link always makes the best decisions.

22 points, 10 assists and only 2 turnovers. This is Link, all-round and steady, which is his most terrifying aspect.

Now, the pressure is all on Durant's shoulders.
