Westbrook's first two rounds were undoubtedly a disaster.

After being robbed and being stolen continuously, if you play a game, there will definitely be a blue mark with a cold feel.

And in real life, it's not just about feeling cold in the hand.

Now, Westbrook has a lot of psychological pressure to overcome.

Link's defense, breaking up all of Westbrook's plans. The impact and breakthrough points that he is good at can't play to his advantage at this time.

Westbrook's only option now is to follow the example of Harden and the Warriors and force Link to change positions!

Only by breaking Link apart will he have a slight chance of winning.

It's a bit of an escape, but for now, it's the wisest way to go.

So in the next attack, Robertson played a block with Westbrook near the halfway line, forcing Link and Conley to switch positions.

"The Turtle's" ploy succeeded, and Conley had to face Westbrook. Thunder No. 0's confidence suddenly soared, and he wanted to return all the grievances left in the previous two rounds!

"I didn't expect Russell to choose to switch positions so early. It seems that he also knows that it is not a way to continue to fight with Link like this. "Hubby. Brown was a little disappointed, he thought the guy who averaged a triple-double per game would have more backbone.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with choosing to attack in a more efficient way.

Westbrook motioned for everyone to pull away, and Conley's defense was certainly not bad. But just like Thompson, it's just not bad, but it can't contain the people in the MVP rankings.

After his teammates pulled the space away, Westbrook made a simple forward change of direction and broke through.

For Conley, Westbrook's first steps were a bit daunting.

Moreover, his increasingly formidable ability to confront also puts Conley at a disadvantage.

Conley was not actually deceived by Westbrook's change of direction in front of his body, and he made the right prediction at the first time.

But under the impact of Westbrook's speed and strong body, Conley was still overtaken by most of his body in an instant.

Westbrook had finally made the breakthrough with pleasure, and he had waited too long for this moment.

But at this moment, Gasol and Jokic, the two long-standers, both made up for the basket.

If he had followed his previous temper, Westbrook would have bothered to care if there was anyone under the basket, and he would have been reckless.

But now, with two consecutive misses, Westbrook has to be cautious.

He can't afford to fail again, and if he fails to attack after breaking Link, the blow to morale will be huge.

Not just his own morale, but also the morale of his teammates.

Therefore, Westbrook, who has always been the first iron, chose to pass cautiously this time!

Jokic and Gasol came in to fill the defense, which meant Adams and Sabonis got their chances.

Sabonis Jr., a first-year junior, has averaged just six points per game this season, but he has undoubtedly inherited his father, Arvedas. Sabonis has a soft touch and does a pretty good job of projection.

Although he is a No. 4 position, Sabonis Jr.'s three-point shot is also quite threatening. In the middle distance, that's pretty consistent.

Westbrook flicked his wrist and immediately passed the ball to Sabonis Jr.! At this point, he was completely vacated by Jokic.

If this assist is successful, the situation will change!

It has to be said that Westbrook's passing accuracy is still very high. Otherwise, this assist will not be able to average double digits per game.

The basketball flew quickly towards Sabonis Jr., who was ready to catch the ball and shoot.

However, just as Sabonis was about to receive the basketball, a large hand suddenly crossed between him and the basketball.

Sabonis and Westbrook's eyes widened, they hadn't even thought about the possibility of a mistake!

"Link cut off the pass and he made the tackle! Westbrook made another mistake and missed on the offensive end for the third time in a row! ”

Westbrook was completely shut up, thinking that it would be safe to break Link apart. But as it turned out, he couldn't have been more wrong!

Even if Link is pulled away, his shadow covers the entire half.

And Westbrook's assists are also very simple, basically rough breakaways.

In this respect, it is very different from Paul and others who can really organize the attack.

Therefore, it is very simple to determine the passing route of the "Turtle".

You just have to look at who is freed, and who is freed up and who has the most shooting threat, and that's one break and one accurate.

In fact, many NBA-level players can judge Westbrook's simple and rough passing path, but their flesh can't keep up with their brains and passing speed.

But Link's pair is better than Grant. Hill's top-of-the-line body doesn't have a problem with that.

Westbrook pulled his hip on the offensive end for three consecutive rounds, which was a fatal blow to the Thunder's morale.

But fortunately, this time the Thunder's defense was very fast, and it didn't make it easy for the Grizzlies to counterattack.

The two sides were forced to fall into positional warfare, and Roberson defended Link very tightly.

If it weren't for the fact that Rachel and Robertson had no intersection in this history, Link might have really thought that Robertson worked so hard because he regarded himself as a rival.

After a series of organizations, the basketball was eventually played to Wade. He ran out of an open spot and got a three-point shot.

But this shot, perhaps because the hand was not hot at the beginning, the "cheek man" did not feel very good.

The basketball hits the neck of the basket and pops high.

Steven. Adams immediately jammed Gasol, and Sabonis Jr. also held Jokic to death.

But the strange thing is that neither of the two elders has any intention of jumping up and grabbing the board, and there is no doubt that they are waiting for Westbrook to come in and grab the ready-made.

So far in this game, Westbrook's stats are all 0 except for turnovers. This rebound is a good opportunity for Westbrook to break the data panic.

Westbrook rushed to the basket, and he leaped hard, straightened his arms, and prepared to take the basketball.

"Turtle" has already thought about it, and the moment he takes down the basketball, he will accelerate and counterattack!

In any case, he must break the scoring drought!

His body was soaring in the air, and the basketball was already within reach.

But unexpectedly, another hand suddenly appeared in Westbrook's field of vision.

I saw that the big hand took a step ahead of Westbrook to scoop the basketball over, and directly dunked the bounced basketball into the frame in the air.

"Boom!"

The rebound slammed down, demonstrating the power of the dunk.

Link hung from the basket with one hand, and beside him, Westbrook fell to the ground empty-handed.

The trick of brushing rebounds doesn't work on the Grizzlies!

Either the big man will hurry up and put away the board, or they won't want to grab any of them!

Stuck in a good position waiting for Westbrook to eat ready-made? Sorry, the Federal Express Arena doesn't have this rule.

"Perfect one-handed dunk, Link snatched the rebound from Westbrook's head. Link has been perfect so far. And Westbrook...... It's hard to put into words. ”

Hit here, Thunder coach Billy. Donovan had to call a timeout.

It's not a question of whether Westbrook is embarrassed or not, it's that the entire Thunder is in crisis.

Judging from the performance of these rounds, the gap between Westbrook and Link is bigger than people think!

If the situation continues like this...... The No. 1 position in the Westbrook MVP rankings is probably not going to be long before I sit down.

After the game was suspended, Westbrook walked off the court with a black line on his face.

But at this time, Ines. N'Golo Kante was furious.

He's not going to let anyone bully the Thunder wantonly, and he'll let Link understand that when he's on the court.

"Link, watch out for Kante later. That guy has a lot of movements, and if he plays, you've got to protect yourself. Also, don't be angry with him, you will be fooled if there is a conflict. ”

As soon as Link got off the court, Jogger reminded him. N'Golo Kante may not be very tough, but he is definitely a good hand when it comes to doing the "dirty work".

Link nodded, "Don't worry, who will go first, me or him, don't necessarily say it." ”

Link doesn't want to trash talk with Kante, but that doesn't mean Link doesn't want Kante to suffer on the pitch.
