Link got down on one knee and watched Durant's footage and swiped almost every sports news website the next day.

With a chin on the left and a scorer on the right, this picture will definitely become one of the classic images of Link's career. Of course, it will also become a lingering nightmare for Durant.

Durant was indeed beaten to self-containment, and in an interview the next day, Westbrook said, "After yesterday's game, Kevin has said no more than five words to me. But I'm sure he can adjust and I believe we'll be able to get back to rhythm in the next game. He's the top scorer after all, and we're number one in the West after all. ”

Despite what they say, the reporters can clearly feel that the Thunder are not as confident as they were at the beginning of the series.

In the last game, Durant actually didn't play badly, and Harden and Westbrook also played at a level. But even so, the Grizzlies were stunned to bite the game off. In particular, Link's almost missable three-pointer at the end, but then saved and hit, made Westbrook feel too shocked.

How easy is it to crush a team led by such a tough guy?

At Oklahoma, the Thunder players were clamoring for a 4-0 run. But now, all they want is to get out of Memphis alive.

Of course, the Oklahoma City media apparently don't have so many concerns. They still stuck to their point of view, "Link's last shot was really magical, and there was so much luck in it. Think about it, if that goal doesn't go in, the outcome of the game is likely to change. So in terms of strength, the Thunder still have the advantage. I'm sure yesterday will be the only win for the Grizzlies, because luck can't always be on their side. 4 to 1, the Thunder can still easily advance! ”

Oklahoma City fans and reporters are still full of confidence, and it is estimated that the Thunder players want to curse after watching it...... Isn't this a chance for you to slap each other in the face?

Only by actually standing on the pitch and playing against those bloodthirsty guys do you know how hard it is to nibble on the next victory at the Federal Express Arena.

That group of reporters in Russia just stood and talked without back pain.

But there is no way, the media have released all the cruel words, and the Thunder players can only work hard.

It wasn't until Game 4 of the series that Durant finally said his sixth sentence to Westbrook, "I've got to win once on the Grizzlies' home court!" ”

On June 2, the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals began. After continuing the last victory, the morale of the Grizzlies team was high. As soon as the game opened, Randolph forced the basket and expressed the Grizzlies' determination.

But Kevin. Not to be outdone, Durant was also outdone, and his desire to attack today was stronger than all of the previous three games combined. Three-pointers, breakouts, mid-range shots, Durant does everything.

After the first quarter of the game, Durant shot 5 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 three-point shots, and scored 12 points!

"Kevin was extremely dangerous today and it seems that he is very hungry to get match point! But...... Unfortunately, the Thunder still trailed by six points in the first quarter. "Hubby. Brown is extremely proud that in the case of Durant's explosion, the Grizzlies still stabilized the advantage with the excellent form of the whole team.

Link scored only seven points in the first quarter, half as many as Durant. But the Grizzlies relied on overall defense to defend Westbrook 1-of-4 and Ibaka 1-of-6. For the entire first quarter, the Thunder shot just 39 percent overall.

Therefore, even if Durant plays against the sky, the Thunder is still behind!

The Oklahoma City media and fans have found out that now their opponent is not just Link, the entire Grizzlies team has now become extremely dangerous!

In the second quarter, after continuing Ibaka, "Old Fish" Fischer also did a 1-of-6 out. Durant is going crazy, and today he wants to do it all, but his teammates also want to go crazy. In terms of wholeness, the Grizzlies are superior!

After the start of the second half, Durant's only strong point was also suppressed by Link. In the third quarter, Durant scored 6 points in a single quarter, and Link scored 13 points in a single quarter in one go! In the minutes after Durant's break, Link was simply invincible, and the score soared.

In the case that the Grizzlies are better as a whole, Link, an offensive strong point, also stood up, and the Thunder completely fell into passivity.

In the end, the Thunder's three scores were all 20. Durant 31 points, Westbrook 27 points, Harden 30 points! The three young people scored 88 points, and the firepower was so strong that it was amazing!

However, the result was that the Thunder lost 111-120 to the Grizzlies on the road, suffering two consecutive defeats!

"It's an incredible win! The Grizzlies actually survived to the end in this offensive duel! Can't believe that a Memphis Grizzlies with 120 points is simply wild! "Hubby. Brown's post-game summary got to the point, 120 points, and that's why the Grizzlies won.

Link scored 34 points alone, 3 more than Durant, who was on fire! After 35 points in the previous game, the series scored 30 points for the second game in a row. On top of that, Randolph scored 20 points today, and easily shot 27% from the field against Ibaka. After the match, Ibaka said she wanted to go home.

Gasol Jr. scored 18 points, and the black and white bears combined for 38 points, breaking the Thunder's interior line. Tony. Aaron and Conley also scored 10 and 11 points respectively. The Grizzlies' starting five Tigers all scored double-doubles, and they were stunned to suppress the Thunder on offense.

Durant also wanted to play, but Westbrook only scored 27 points on 24 crazy shots, he took a full 7 more shots than Durant, and scored 7 points less than Durant, Durant was really desperate.

If those seven shots can be taken to Durant, Durant believes that it will not be a problem to catch up with 9 points.

In addition, Fischer and Ibaka were 2-of-11 and 3-of-11, which also dragged down the Thunder's offensive efficiency.

In this way, under the terrible firepower of the Thunder, the Grizzlies won the game by relying on the double play of the whole and the individual.

After the game, Link raised his left and right hands to the camera's lens, and held out two fingers each.

"It's 2-2 now, baby! Who said to be 4-0 ahead? Who said the Thunder would only lose 1 game at most!? Come on, I can't wait to start the next game! ”

Link yelled at the camera domineeringly, and couldn't control his swearing. After the game, the league's fines must be indispensable. But who cares? Now, the whole world is his!

When the Thunder came to Memphis with a 2-0 lead, they certainly didn't expect them to go back with a 2-2 score.

In Durant's and most people's expectations, when the Thunder return to Oklahoma City, he should be preparing for the Finals. But now, their lives and deaths are uncertain.

With the momentum of winning two games in a row, Link and the Grizzlies made their way into Oklahoma. But their trip to Oklahoma was not peaceful......

※※※

In Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder and Grizzlies, who were tied 2-2, continued to face off at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City.

Speaking of which, the battle between the East and West has been very fierce this year. The Heat, on the other hand, also drew 2-2 with the Celtics. The Thunder, on their side, was also unexpectedly dragged into the quagmire by the grizzly bear.

It was a surprise indeed, as no one was optimistic about them before the game, except for the local media and fans in Memphis. The 4-0 and 4-1 rhetoric was flying across the United States.

However, the fact is that in the final quarter of the fifth game, the Thunder still did not show the momentum of crushing.

At this point, the Thunder only led the Grizzlies by 1 point, and the Grizzlies had the ball. Link, who has scored 30+ points in two consecutive games, holds the ball and is ready to break through, and when he holds the ball, the hearts of fans all over Russia City are in their throats.

If that goal goes in, the Grizzlies will be on the verge of equalizing.

Link borrowed the cover to kill the basket, ignored Durant leaning next to him, and went straight to the basket!

The moment the basketball is shot, the referee's whistle blows. In the next second, the basketball was still in the net!

All the Grizzlies players cheered, 2+1!

As a result, after the referee made the decision, Link was dumbfounded.

"It's an offensive foul! The referee blew for Link's offensive foul, and he had an elbow swing when he broke through! The goal is invalid, the Thunder have the ball! ”

Link rushed straight up to explain to the referee, but nothing could be changed. Whistled for an offensive foul at the moment when the equalizer was imminent, Link couldn't believe it was a discerning decision.

Link gritted his teeth and reluctantly defended himself. It seems that the referee is going to do it.
