Durant appeared on the Warriors' bench in a suit with a confident smile on his face and seemed ready for the game.

Although Durant won't be playing today, he is still being sought after by the fans at the scene.

Bursts of cheers came from the stands, proving his popularity at Oracle Arena.

Soon, though, the cheers turned into boos. Durant turned his head to look, and sure enough, it was everyone from the Grizzlies who appeared.

Those guys always get the highest standard of "welcome" and "reception" at Oracle Arena.

"Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors, no matter how many times you watch it, the matchup between them will never be boring. Before the start of this game, players and fans on both sides had already created enough gimmicks on the Internet. Now, it's time to wrap up the regular season. ”

Mike. After Bryn finished speaking, he looked around at the fanatical fans.

Although this is only a regular season game, the Warriors' plan to take the first place in the West is basically impossible to achieve.

But even so, the Auckland fans are still enthusiastic. The atmosphere of this game is simply playoff level.

Link started warming up immediately after he came out, and although the Warriors didn't have Durant, Link didn't relax in the slightest.

And Mike. Brin also found that when he saw Link come out to warm up, the confident smile on Durant's face disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there was anxiety revealed by a slight frown.

Mike. Brin shook his head, this is the expression that Durant should put on right now.

It's no secret that no one on the Warriors can match Link.

As long as you have analyzed it a little carefully, you will know that Link has no opponent at all today. Unless, Kerr plays the No. 3 position with Green, and then sends two interior players to fend off the Grizzlies twin towers.

But with the Warriors' style, there's no way they're going to play that kind of lineup. If the Warriors do, the space they can be proud of will disappear.

Therefore, the Warriors will be directly exposed to Link's formidable firepower today, without any protection!

Not to mention the Warriors players, even Mike. Brin is anxious for the Warriors.

So seeing Durant become anxious, Mike. Brin felt normal.

yes, that guy wants to pretend to be confident in front of the fans and the media.

But no matter how much you pretend to be like before the game, you will quickly reveal your stuff after entering the game......

Golden State Warriors, how can they defend themselves against Link's attack today? Judging by Link's form today...... He wasn't going to be polite to the Warriors.

Kerr gritted his teeth as he looked at the Grizzlies lineup and shook his head secretly.

If he had succeeded in catching up with Andrei that year. Iguodala, then the Warriors don't have that bother now.

Durant's absence is a huge blow to the Warriors. This season, the Warriors have a record of only 1 win and 2 losses against the Grizzlies with a complete roster.

Now in the absence of a general, Cole really didn't know what to do.

If this game is just an ordinary game, then if you lose, you lose.

But in a good way, Durant and Green were stunned to hype up the heat of this game.

Well, all of Oakland is waiting for the Warriors to win, and all eyes of basketball fans around the world are focused on it.

If the Warriors can't win, God knows how much saliva they'll be drowned.

Kerr didn't continue to think about it, and at this point, he could only hold on like Durant and Green.

Before the start of the game, Stephen. A. Smith interviewed Green, and his question was very straightforward: "Durant's absence will definitely make the Warriors a big diminish." Do you really think you can contain Link without Durant? ”

Faced with such a blunt question, Green chose to continue to pretend to be tough: "We'll fight back with Kevin's share, he just needs to wait on the sidelines for victory to come." Today, in Oakland, the Grizzlies will see the horrors of the defending champions. ”

"Poof!" Stephen. A. Smith didn't laugh out loud at all, if he hadn't carefully analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams, he might have believed Green's nonsense.

That guy doesn't have a red face and doesn't have a beating heart, and he pretends to be stupid, and it's really easy to confuse others.

"Really? Then I can only wish you the best of luck, Draymond. Smith ended the interview after saying that.

He'd rather see how the Warriors can continue to pretend to be calm on the court.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the referee threw the ball into the air. Gasol fought for the Grizzlies to attack the ball first, and Kerr's face instantly became very ugly.

Due to Durant's injury, the Warriors sent out the starters today with McCaw, Curry, Thompson, Green and Pachuria.

They used three guards on the outside!

It's just that McCaw and Thompson are both more than 2 meters tall, and McCaw was selected to the All-Defensive Team when he was in the NCAA, and his defensive foundation is very good.

With him and Thompson teaming up, the Warriors don't seem to have much of a problem defending the wing.

On the surface, the Warriors seem to have perfectly settled the void left by Durant's absence. While McCaw can't match Durant in offensive firepower, he can defend it.

As long as you can defend, you won't be held back.

Whether you can prevent Link or not, that's another story.

In the first round of the match, Conley passed the ball to Link.

Kerr's expression became more nervous, and too, the Grizzlies have been playing this style since the loss to the Pacers.

Warm up? Transition? Test?

doesn't exist, every game the Grizzlies have been playing recently, and it seems that they can't wait to get out of the party in the first quarter!

Clay. Thompson is nervous, and he hasn't played against Link very much since Durant joined last season.

But he hasn't forgotten that before Durant joined the Warriors, he was horribly dominated by Link.

Thompson is a defensive stalwart in front of the average player, but in front of the stars, Thompson's defense is not enough to pose a threat.

Link motioned for everyone to pull away, he was going to take advantage of the Warrior's weakness and attack!

Facing Clay, who is not aggressive enough defensively. Thompson, Link used a crossover with a great arc.

If this ball is James defending, he will definitely go up to Link for the first time.

If it's Durant who is defending Link right now, he'll definitely spread his long arms and try to stop Link's breakout.

However, Thompson couldn't do either of the two ways mentioned above!

His lack of aggressive defense prevented him from giving Link a strong counter in time. He is not as physically fit as Durant, and it also makes him unable to increase the defensive area with his arm span.

Link changed direction and kicked the ground with a whoosh.

The league's most deceptive change of direction, combined with the league's fastest first move, was enough for Link to throw Thompson out of the clouds.

After breaking through Thompson, Green immediately stepped up to the defense. Today's strategy for the Warriors is simple, they'd rather let the rest of the Grizzlies score than let Link go completely crazy!

But before Green could interfere, Link made a very gentle stop-and-go shot.

He has plenty of height and quick shots, but his shooting is very complete.

This picturesque emergency stop is a scenery that is difficult to see in this era of only focusing on three points and breakthroughs.

"Brush!"

Wonderful scenery naturally has to be accompanied by beautiful notes.

The basketball hollow into the net, Link scored easily on the Warriors' head as soon as he came up!

"Damn it!" Cole sighed, for now, Link is indeed unstoppable today, Thompson is too preppy to defend and can't stop Link at all.

Durant gritted his teeth if he could play...... At least it won't be so easy for Link to score.

After the goal, Link did not show off his strength at Thompson, but pointed to Durant, who was sitting on the bench at this time.

"I'll destroy the warriors with my own hands, sit down and enjoy it!"

Link's tone was firm, and his expression was quite serious.

This shows that Link is not trash-talking to Durant, but warning him!

Durant must be held accountable for his previous line crossing today, and what could be more brutal than ruining the Warriors in front of him?

Cole also heard Link's yelling, but he didn't despair.

At least on the offensive end, the Warriors can still fight!

He waved his big hand and motioned for everyone to attack patiently.

However, any team that plays against the Grizzlies this season seems to have no good end......

Stephen. A. Smith gloated and laughed, the fake strength that the Warriors showed before the start of this game was about to go through the gang.
