349: Don't force me to put down the thermos
Durant came with the determination to win.
When he stepped into the Federal Express Arena, he had only one thought in his head - to smash the home court, which was claimed to be undefeated in the playoffs!
The victories in the first two games gave Durant great self-confidence, and honors such as three consecutive scoring champions, second MVP votes, etc., have made Durant extremely inflated now.
Last year's humiliation, this year he wants to pay it back! There's nothing more refreshing than humiliating an opponent on someone else's home turf.
Therefore, even in the face of the overwhelming boos of Grizzlies fans, Durant still said, "Our goal is 4-0, and we want to finish the fight in Memphis!" ”
Durant is really crazy now, and he doesn't give Link face at all. He's glad that the Grizzlies haven't lost at home so far, so Durant can break the Memphis fans' only wish with his own hands!
On the other hand, Link became inexplicably popular because of yesterday's "thermos cup incident".
"Link, why didn't you sweat much during yesterday's training?"
"Do you think rest is more important than training? So how did you rest today? ”
"Do you think the Grizzlies can really go undefeated at home? That means the Grizzlies have to tie the total score at home. It's not going to be easy for any team in the league. ”
Link is different from the murderous Durant, he has a hippie smile on his face when facing the camera, as if it was the Grizzlies who are leading 2-0, "In the playoffs, every game is not easy. We've played so many tough games, and we're missing these two? ”
Link's appearance makes the outside world look a little unreliable. You see that Howard is also giggling all day, but the magic has not produced any too reliable results for so many years. The most awesome one is to enter the finals.
Compared with Kobe, Wade and other often serious stars, Howard is a little less domineering.
Now, reporters feel as if Link is moving in Howard's direction.
However, Link didn't do it because he didn't care about winning, he just wanted to adjust his mentality as much as possible.
Playing at home, under the double pressure of being 2-0 down and unbeaten at home. If Link doesn't decompress himself, he can be crushed to death before the game even starts.
So, he tried not to create too much tension for himself. If you want to play well in this kind of game, you can't be too tight.
In this way, Link stepped onto the court with the image of a goji boy and a grin-and-a attitude. With the exception of Memphis fans, almost everyone thinks Link has given up.
yes, after all, he's only a draft loser and he's only in his second year, how much responsibility do you want him to take on? Everyone has to have a growth process, and it's normal for young players to do that.
But at the moment when the referee's whistle blew and cheers erupted from the stands, Link's eyes changed.
Now, all he wants is to win Durant!
"Mark. Gasol fought for the Grizzlies to get the ball first, and this pivotal battle officially began! The Thunder are menacing today, Kevin. Durant has said more than once that he will win at the Federal Express Arena! He's made up his mind to do it quickly! But maybe he forgot that any team that meets the Grizzlies can't easily take away the victory! ”
Hubi. Brown is quite angry, and the Grizzlies are completely flattened by Durant! Maybe the scoring champion forgot that every team had to shed a layer of skin last season when they wanted to pass the Grizzlies.
After Conley got the basketball that Gasol was fighting for, he gave the ball directly to Link! The cheers of the audience immediately ushered in a climax, the first attack in this game, Link wants to set an example for the whole team!
Link is in possession of the ball and gesturing at the same time. Durant spreads his arms, and the guy's arm span is said to be between 2.26 and 2.28 meters. For comparison, Link's sofa is about that long.
Link often faces his couch at home and laments the terrible size of Durant's defense.
But now, Link has nothing to fear. He's full of energy and has a strong desire to score.
Link held the ball in front of Durant and dribbled under the crotch to find rhythm, Durant was unmoved, still blushing, he didn't believe that Link could break through his defense alone.
Just when Durant thought there would be cover, Link suddenly accelerated and stabbed Durant to the right side.
Durant hurriedly moved sideways to block, and with his traverse speed and reach, it was easy to block Link.
However, Link was just halfway through when he suddenly made a sudden stop and retreated outside the three-point line, his eyes on the basket!
It's no secret that Durant jumps up and blocks directly and reflexively, and Link likes to step back for three-point jumpers!
But as soon as Durant got his feet off the ground, he regretted it! Link didn't want to step back and shoot at all, he was a Buddha feint!
With a cross-step, Link easily brushed past Durant, who was rushing towards him.
"Goodbye!" Link didn't forget to yell at Durant as he passed past him.
After getting rid of Durant, Link made a pull-up jump shot behind the free throw line!
Hubi. Brin was the first to raise his arms to celebrate the goal the moment Link made a move, and it was a variant of a cross-step stop-and-go shot!
This is Link's killer feature, and he won't miss it!
"Brush!" In Durant's desperate gaze, the basketball hollowed into the net, and Link singled out Durant in the first round!
"Boom!" At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena was like a tsunami erupting, and cheers rushed to the face, as if you could feel the powerful sound.
Link bounced back to his own half, and when the camera focused on his face again, people found that the pre-game giggle, the link who was holding a thermos cup and saying "don't panic" had disappeared.
Link now frowned and pursed his lips. When he puts down the thermos cup, there will definitely be a bloody storm!
Listening to the violent cheers and looking at Link's expression, Durant felt goosebumps all over his body.
This is the Federal Express Arena that is invincible in the playoffs!
"Beautiful goal, Link showed the friendship of the landlord, and started the game with a resolute offense to help the Grizzlies get off to a good start! I believe that this goal will greatly boost the morale of the other Grizzlies players! Now, they are desperate, and they have no way back! So, you can only move forward! "Hubby. Brown flails his fists excitedly, and with the shouts of the fans, the atmosphere of the whole arena is enough to make people's blood boil!
Durant swallowed his saliva, Link's momentum was indeed different from the previous two games. But he won't be afraid, he knows that another win will be 3-0. And 3 to 0 is almost equivalent to a death sentence for the grizzly bear!
This kind of opportunity to win the series, Durant will not let go easily!
The Thunder attacked, Westbrook was not the kind of playmaker guard, he received the baseline ball and rushed through the half court as quickly as possible, and the tempo was raised quickly.
But the black and white bears were not flustered, they moved left and right on the edge of the box, first stabilized the basket, and prevented Westbrook from directly attacking the basket.
Seeing that the defense under the basket was tight, Westbrook played the ball to Durant.
As soon as Durant received the basketball, before he could react, Link's arm stretched out!
"Link directly wants to steal, he doesn't give Durant the slightest breathing time and space!"
The ball was stabbed away by Link, but as soon as Durant turned around, he grabbed the ball with his long arm and took control of it again, which was considered to be a thrilling way to keep the ball.
But Durant hasn't held the ball yet, and Link's second steal is here again!
This extremely aggressive and oppressive defense makes Durant feel like he is back to last season!
This time, neither side grabbed the ball. After the basketball was destroyed, it slid along the halfway line towards the outbounds.
Balls rolling towards the sideline are the least difficult to compete for, as the distance between the court and the technical table is so close that it is easy to collide directly with the technical table if you leap to save the ball.
But Link didn't hesitate, and the moment he destroyed the basketball, he chased after it and threw himself to the ground, bringing the basketball back!
Before he could make any protective moves, Link felt a sharp pain in his head instantly, and he really hit the technical table!
The audience was in shock, and everyone was praying that Link would not be in trouble. But before the prayer was over, Link got up from the floor again.
"That's what it is...... The traditional Chinese iron-headed ...... "Thunder coach Scott. Brooks was dumbfounded, what the hell did that guy do!
When Link got up, he just saw Tony who had received the save. Allen scored on a fast-break layup. So, he immediately swung his fist again.
It was only then that Link rubbed his Heavenly Spirit Cover. No pain is fake, what a fucking pain!
But it's worth it to be able to keep Durant at bay!
"Tough defense and a nice fast break, Link showed the Grizzlies' attitude today in just two rounds! It seems that he is fine, and this tough guy swears to protect his home turf to the death! ”
Durant was taken aback, the shot just now was too dangerous. And this is just the first round of defense, Link is spelled like this!
When Durant approached again, Link lowered his center of gravity, his eyes as if staring at the lion of his prey, and then lifted his trouser leg.
Randolph, who was standing behind Link, smiled, and when he saw Link lifting his trouser leg, he knew Durant was finished.
