Genius remember the address of this site in one second: [Er Yuetian Novel Network] The fastest update! No ads!

Reggie Jackson, as a late first-round pick last season, has been little known. As an end-of-the-rotation player averaging just 11.1 minutes per game, unless you're a die-hard Thunder fan, most people are unlikely to know this guy.

This season, Reggie Jackson's average per game has increased to 14.2 minutes, still very little. But Reggie Jackson has been able to show some performances on the basketball court after a year of struggle.

At this time, Reggie Jackson hit Nick Young in a dislocation. Although Nick Young was ten centimeters taller than Reggie Jackson, it didn't help. Previously, Jackson had played Nick Young a 2+1, which made Reggie extremely confident.

So, now against Nick Young, who wasn't in very good shape today, Jackson's ball-handling movements are very comfortable.

"Reggie Jackson started alternating dribbles from beyond the arc. This was the Thunder's last offense in the first quarter of the game. Let's see if Reggie can get the ball in!"

As soon as the narrator's voice fell, Reggie Jackson suddenly accelerated and broke through! After Nick Young reacted, Reggie Jackson had surpassed his half size.

"Hey." Link sighed, if Reggie Jackson's ability value in NBA2K is also higher than Nick Young, maybe Nick Young is not like this today.

After breaking through Nick Young, Reggie Jackson got to the basket with his astonishing speed, and then made the throw.

After the basketball enters the net, the red light on the backboard also lights up. At the end of the first quarter, Reggie Jackson's buzzer-beater throw helped the Oklahoma City Thunder 30-20 at home, leading the Grizzlies by 10 points!

The moment the red light came on, Reggie Jackson screamed in the sky! It was undoubtedly a great night for him! Without him, there would be no Thunder's 10-point lead now!

"Reggie Jackson's performance is incredible. In a limited time, Reggie Jackson scored 8 points on 3 of 4 shots! 8 points in a single quarter, this may be a result that coach Scott Brooks did not expect. Once Drop shot, a 3-pointer and a 2+1 offense, Reggie Jackson was unbeatable in the rotation today! Tony Allen was tired of tangled with Kevin Martin, so Jackson seized the opportunity to go crazy. Grizzlies Maybe they didn't even think that they would lose in the rotation lineup!"

The on-site commentary explained while looking at the data sheet. In the first quarter, Link scored 6 points, Durant and Ibaka each scored 8 points. Before the rotation time, the difference between the two teams was not widened, and it can be said that they were evenly matched.

But Reggie Jackson's 8 points in a single quarter stunned the Grizzlies directly. Nick Young's offense was unreliable today, and Reggie Jackson grabbed and beat him on the defensive end.

With the outstanding performance of Reggie Jackson, the Thunder widened the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop. Now, the Memphis Grizzlies are pretty passive!

"Damn, I ignored that kid!" Stevens cursed to himself after the first quarter.

Reggie Jackson, Stevens admits he never thought this guy would cause trouble for the Grizzlies. But now that Harden is away from Texas, and Kevin Martin doesn't need the ball, the only person on the Thunder bench who can hold the ball is Reggie Jackson.

Under such circumstances, Reggie Jackson can naturally play to his heart's content.

Now that I'm 10 points behind in the first quarter, it's too late to say anything. Stevens called up all the starters and told them to close the gap at the start of the second quarter!

"If it continues to drag on, the Oklahoma City Thunder will get better and better! So, after the second quarter starts, give me a good defense! In the first quarter, we let the opponent's three players score 8 points in a single quarter. Unqualified! Be tough and stop the opponent from scoring at all costs!"

Stevens emphasized defense,

And replaced all the starters. After the start of the second quarter, Stevens still did not idle. As he directs the game, he wonders, who is going to guard Reggie Jackson later?

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies returned to the starting lineup. On the Thunder side, Sefolosa was replaced by Kevin Martin.

Sefolosha is a fake starter, every game, Kevin. Martin's playing time is much more than Sefolosha.

Coupled with the current momentum of the Thunder, Scott Brooks naturally hopes to use the fiercest firepower to win the chase.

"Stabilize guys! Last season's playoffs, we failed to win a victory at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Today, we have to turn this one over!" Watching the Thunder players gradually Approaching, Link shouted.

The team is in crisis and he's going to start fighting like a leader.

As soon as the Thunder came over, everyone encountered the grizzly players' brutal close pressing. Not to mention the outside line, even Ibaka has encountered Randolph's entanglement, and the Grizzlies will fight for every inch of land!

Westbrook saw Conley stick himself so tightly, so he chose to use the breakthrough method to break through the Grizzlies defense.

At this time, Pau Gasol immediately dropped Perkins to make up the defense to the basket. Facing this "European castle", Westbrook did not stop, but directly faced Pau Gasol and was about to layup!

Durant covered his forehead, this buddy hit again!

"Westbrook made a layup against Gasol! This ball is too difficult, the basketball failed to hit! Randolph rebounded, and the Grizzlies had a chance to reduce the point difference to single digits!"

Conley pushed forward slowly, deliberately wheezing Westbrook's appetite. Westbrook was in a hurry. He missed the ball just now. He couldn't get it back immediately and attack again.

So, facing Conley, Westbrook suddenly made a sprint and stepped forward to steal!

This kind of gambling steal is fine for some soft-footed shrimp, but the calm Conley obviously doesn't like it.

I saw Grizzlies No. 11 coldly dribble the ball to the back, switch hands behind him, and easily dodged Westbrook's sprint.

Westbrook "actively" lost his position, Conley did not hesitate to break through immediately!

Mike Conley is averaging a career-high 14 points per game this season. Although 14 points is not a particularly exaggerated number, it is definitely a deterrent number. So, seeing Conley rushing in, the Thunder's defense had to adjust.

Perkins hurried to defend the basket, and Ibaka was ready to rush back to take the opponent's defender at any time.

But just when everyone's attention was on Conley, the calm point guard flicked his wrist and passed the ball to the bottom right corner!

Only then did people realize that Link had reached the bottom right corner at some point, and was two steps away from Kevin Martin!

"Conley accurately found his teammates in the open position. Will Link's shot be equally accurate!?"

After Link got the basketball, he feinted and shot Martin, who just wanted to fill the vacancy.

Under Martin's desperate gaze, Link swept past him, then made an easy jumper from mid-range.

The basketball is hollow into the net, and this kind of ball Link rarely misses. The point difference became a single digit, and the Grizzlies' one defense and one attack shattered the Thunder's desire to open the score in one breath.

Angrily, Durant walked over to Martin and whispered a few words. Even if Link couldn't hear, he knew what Durant and Martin said. He firmly believes that the next attack, the person defending himself should become Durant.

The Thunder still have a chance to widen the point difference to double digits. This time, Westbrook did not mess up, but handed over the ball to the first quarter when Durant was pressed closely. Eight points for Ibaka.

Ibaka played Randolph in the playoffs last season with ease and pleasure, but this season, with Randolph back to health and being blown up in the first quarter, Ibaka's offense suddenly changed. got tough.

"Come on bastard! Do you think you're hard!? Let's see how Uncle Zach is!" Randolph shoved Ibaka and spat trash in his ear.

Ibaka was distracted and eventually opted for a rollover jumper. But under Randolph's extremely quick response, the Congolese forward's shot failed to hit! This season, Randolph's vitality is very different from last season!

When Big Black Bear gets angry, it's hard for any 4 to take advantage of him.

"The Thunder's offense failed again! The Grizzlies have started to strengthen their defense, and they have been strengthening their defense since the second quarter! I think Coach Stevens must not want to see a 10-point gap hanging over his head!"

Randolph used his enthusiasm to prevent the next ball. Although the Thunder ball did not score, Durant became excited instead.

Next, he is finally going to face Link!

After Link crossed halftime and received the basketball, he found that the obstacles he encountered were indeed a lot bigger. But after fighting with Durant for two years, Link has become accustomed to Durant's exaggerated defensive area.

Link waved calmly and made several gestures like a point guard. When Little Gasol saw this situation, he immediately took cover, and Link used the cover to break through!

Durant immediately bypassed Gasol and swayed around Link. Ibaka also shrunk to the basket, waiting for Link to be "captured".

The Thunder attaches great importance to Link's defense. After all, last season, it was this No. 0 that almost led the Grizzlies to overturn the Thunder.

Link entered the penalty area, and it seemed that he would be surrounded by two long-armed monsters, Durant and Ibaka, in the next second. At this moment, Link casually tossed the ball into the air!

Everyone raised their heads and followed the flight path of the basketball. I saw Iguodala suddenly burst out, and Kevin Martin beside him could only stare dumbly with his mouth open.

Link didn't want to play singles by himself, but wanted to create a chance for Iguodala! Therefore, he will break through without hesitation to attract attention.

And Iguodala just needs to get Martin done. It turns out that it is not a big problem for Iguodala to get Martin.

As the most low-key but most athletic 3 in the league, Andre Iguodala easily picked up Link's lob pass and smashed it into the hoop!

Iguodala's alley-oop dunks once silenced the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Once upon a time, the Memphis could wreak havoc on the rim over Oklahoma City?

After landing, Iguodala hammered his chest excitedly. In the first quarter of the game, the Grizzlies' main force and the Thunder's main force were indistinguishable. The point difference was widened, mainly because of Reggie Jackson's 8 points.

Therefore, on the main lineup, the Grizzlies are not afraid of the Thunder. Therefore, when the main force is on the court now, the Grizzlies will soon be able to close the score!

After Iguodala's ball, the Thunder's scrambled offense failed again. After the Grizzlies came over, Link used a running chasing three-pointer to smash through the Thunder defense line, reducing the point difference to 3 points!

This is a trick he practiced hard this summer, and now he can skillfully use it in actual combat.

The Thunder were beaten 7-0 in the second quarter. Their plan to take away the game in a wave in the second quarter was smashed by Link.

Only then did the Thunder's main force come to their senses. So in the next few minutes, the Thunder just started to score. But now it is too late to recover, the Thunder have no capital to open the score, and the scores of the two teams continue to lead alternately.

Finally, the second quarter of the game also came to the rotation time. Scott. Brooks knows, this is the Thunder's opportunity! As long as Reggie Jackson can continue the state of the first quarter, everything can get back on track.

If the main force can't beat Zhong Bo, then I will use the substitute to win you!

On the Grizzlies bench, Link told Stevens while wiping his sweat, "I can play a little longer, let me play with the second unit! Anyway, that's how we dragged into the tiebreaker last season! "

As everyone knows, Stevens shook his head, "I need you to maintain your physical strength, and then at some point in the second half, lead the team to a wave of offense that can kill the game. As for the current rotation time... ."

Stevens turned his head and looked at the young player who was sitting at the end of the bench, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Jimmy! It's your turn!"
