106: More suitable candidates

2 points gap, 4 minutes.

The game situation has become more subtle, and the initiative in the hands of the Thunder is no longer stable. As a scoring champion, it is almost a shame for Durant to be abruptly snatched from the hands of a defensive player.

He understands that his offense with the ball is still immature, but even so, most opponents still can't use his offense with the ball.

But that No. 0 loses the draft, but can always hit the nail on the defensive end. It seems that he was able to beat James Harden last time, not only because Harden was too late the night before, but Link's defensive skills were already very solid.

"Play more carefully, the game is not over yet!"

After Tony Allen made a dunk, Thunder coach Scott Brooks yelled from the sidelines. With Guy missing and the Grizzlies playing back-to-back, he doesn't want to waste this chance of winning.

With Brooks' reminder, the Thunder's offense was a little more complicated this time, and there were more conduction and screens.

But a complicated offense is not necessarily an effective offense. The basketball was finally passed to Harden, but the guy's shot was blocked by Tony Allen.

Tony Allen's defense is better than Link's defense. Harden can't even handle Link now, let alone Link's Tony teacher.

Watching basketball hit the iron again, Scott Brooks felt cold. Why can the Grizzlies reverse the situation every time that No. 0 plays?

A very terrible conjecture emerged in Brooks's mind-maybe that losing pick is more suitable for starting than Guy?

In a blink of an eye, the Grizzlies attacked again. Harden's poor defense has allowed Tony Allen, who can't score, to score 4 points, but Harden is not a fool. He knows that Tony Allen did not shoot, so this replayed Tony Allen's two moves to prevent He cuts in and breaks through.

Link and Conley glanced at each other, then pulled outside the three-point line. At the same time, Conley gave the ball to Gasol who was about to reach the position.

The Thunder's starting center is Nenad Kostic. The name of this Serbian center may be unfamiliar to many people, because he is indeed not well-known and has mediocre ability.

Before Kendrick Perkins joined the Thunder, the Thunder's inside defense has been the hardest hit. Neither Korstic nor team veteran Nick Collison can shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the basket.

As for Ibaka, he can't protect the basket alone.

Gasol took the initiative to play singles and pushed forward after holding the ball. Just entering the league is a good face, but now the hairline is already in danger, Krstic can't compete with Gasol at all, and is losing ground.

From strength to weight, Kostich is no better than Gasol.

Ibaka wanted to make up the penalty area, but Randolph nailed him to death at mid-range. If Ibaka doubles rashly, Randolph's mid-range shot will definitely punish him.

In this way, the Thunder team could only watch the savage Serbian being crushed to the basket by Gasol, who leaped slightly from the basket and put the basketball into the basket.

The original lively Chesapeake Energy Arena was dead, and they just lost their last 2 point advantage.

The Grizzlies’ offense is heavy, slow, and out-of-date, but effective. Hollins off the court applauded with satisfaction. Without Guy, the Grizzlies can attack around the Black and White Bears. And such an offensive method may be more efficient than letting Gay fight all the time.

Scott Brooks's conjecture is correct. The Grizzlies who lost Guy might really become better.

After the fourth quarter, the two sides had offense and defense. On the Thunder side, Durant could score goals, but he didn't do what he wanted. Link's defense made him repeatedly hit the iron.

Here, the Grizzlies' offensive tactics around the black and white double bears have achieved extremely high efficiency. 58 seconds before the end of the game, Randolph's basket hook gave the Grizzlies a 4-point lead. After scoring the goal, Scott Brooks hurriedly called out the game to stop the game, and the Thunder had already floated one foot beyond the cliff.

"Unbelievable, the Grizzlies seem to have played better after losing Rudy Gay! On the defensive end, Conley + Tony + Link's defensive chain is very tough, and the three young people that the Thunder are proud of are trapped in the mud. On the offensive end, the low-post lethality of Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph was completely released. Without Rudy Gay and them, they could fight inside."

"This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing situation for the Thunder. They originally wanted to take advantage of Guy's injury to win the game. But unexpectedly, after the opponent lost the star, the strength did not drop but rose."

The commentators were surprised by the efficient performance of the Grizzlies during that period. It can be said that they were completely reborn in adversity.

Although praised by all parties, everyone on the Grizzlies is not at all complacent at this time. All victories are nothing before they are achieved. Regardless of what those commentators say, if you fail to win in the end, then these praises have no meaning.

"Persist in playing inside offense and changing defenses on the defensive end infinitely! In the last 48 seconds, as long as we bite the opponent's last counterattack, we will retreat from Oklahoma! I know that we have lost two games in a row recently. Hold on and it will all be over! Don't back down, we can beat the defending champions, and we can beat them too!"

Hollins's tactics are still the same, the offensive end mainly attacks the inside, which he could not do when Gay was in the past. On the defensive end, the solid perimeter defense gave Hollins the confidence to change defenses. In this way, you are not afraid of the cover of Thunder.

The timeout was short, and when the Thunder players played again, the calmness on their faces had completely disappeared. Even Durant frowned.

Success makes a scoring champion nervous, and Link doesn't know if it counts as a success.

But he knew that if he could win, no one would question his success!

The Thunder came aggressively, Hollins guessed right, this time they played a lot of screens.

However, because the players were vaccinated in advance, the Grizzlies did a very good job of changing defenses.

Harden tried to get a chance by running without the ball, only to find that Link, whom he feared the most, was immediately replaced. Link is definitely Harden's nightmare now, and Harden feels guilty when he sees his face.

And Tony Allen didn't suffer from Durant, that guy is a veritable superstar killer.

"The Grizzlies' change of defense doesn't leak! Their defense can be called the league's top!" Now, even the local commentator in Oklahoma had to admit the Grizzlies' toughness.

Under the near-perfect defense of the Grizzlies, Durant could only shoot against Tony Allen. But the scoring leader is always the scoring leader. Although Tony Allen almost blocked his face, he still made a hollow shot.

At that moment, the fans of the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena stood up, and there seemed to be waves of people in the stands.

Durant shook his fist. 34 seconds before the end of the game, the Thunder narrowed the point difference to 4 points!

Now, the Thunder have two options. Either foul and seek offense, or defend the round and bet on a chance.

Brooks let his players choose the latter, the Thunder did not foul, but intended to defend this round. This is indeed a bigger win, but on the premise that the Thunder can prevent this round.

Randolph and Gasol have just stepped into the inside, and they feel a lot more pressure behind them. The Thunder knew that the Grizzlies would definitely play inside, so they were already prepared.

Little Gasol was circumvented directly, and Ibaka was already trying his best to push Randolph.

Randolph's bottom set was stable enough and he wanted to stay in position. Conley dropped the ball and the Grizzlies' offense seemed to be the same!

The moment Randolph received the ball, Durant hurriedly doubled over. Ibaka is in the back and Durant is in the front. Brooks believes that the Thunder's defense will definitely be successful this time!

But when he saw Durant clip over, Randolph passed the ball decisively. The pass is not someone else, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com is the link who ambushes at the bottom corner!

If Guy is on the court now, he may not stay in the corner, even in the corner, his three-pointer is not so reassuring.

But now, when Link replaces Guy, the Grizzlies' tactics are more handy. Link will always appear in the most correct position, and his shots are very reliable!

"Damn it, no!" Durant yelled silently in his heart, then rushed forward.

Link didn't have stage fright, so he shot decisively! The basketball flew out almost wiped Durant's fingertips, and the ball was disturbed! Oklahoma City fans are looking forward to watching the basketball. Now the undrafted pick should not make it!

After Link took the shot, he still maintained the shooting posture. He was indeed interfered by Durant, who is tall and arm-length, but his strong psychological quality and excellent hand feel allowed Link to maintain his shot without any distortion during the interference. .

Sure enough, the basketball jumped into the net after crossing a beautiful parabola! There was a sigh from the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and Link once again killed the hope of the All-Russian City!

"Goal! He almost killed the game. In the last 12 seconds of the game, Link gave the Grizzlies a 7-point lead! Haha, I think Link will definitely be an Oklahoma fan after today. Join the list of'most hated players'!"

Link gave Durant three fingers. He believed that Durant would no longer think that he was not qualified to be an opponent.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks covered his head with his hands in annoyance. He was very close to victory, but now everything has disappeared.

Now he is sure that Link is more suitable for starting than Gay. After losing Gay, the Grizzlies might really become stronger.

What a weird team this is.
