107: A lot of opportunities are coming (19/40)

Westbrook desperately fouled and sent Mike. Conley goes to the free-throw line. Fans throughout the Chesapeake Energy Arena were booing wildly, hoping to interfere with Conley's free throws.

Oklahoma City fans couldn't accept that they were cornered when they had the upper hand. And again, let that undrafted complete the fatal blow.

Lost Rudy on the Grizzlies. In Guy's case, they were actually defeated by Link, and it would not be easy for anyone to change it.

Noisy sounds filled the entire arena, and ordinary people in such an environment, let alone shooting, even standing on the basketball court estimated that their legs would tremble.

But for a young defender like Conley, that voice doesn't affect him at all. Under the interference of the Thunder fans, Conley took a deep breath and put the second free throw into the basket.

With two free throws and two hits, Conley didn't give the Thunder any chance, and he managed to widen the margin to seven points. There are only a few seconds left in the game, and the Thunder have no timeout.

The fans in All Russia City covered their heads in despair, knowing that they could not win the game anymore.

"It's over, Mike. Conley's free throw ended the game. No, to be exact, it was Link's cool three-pointer that killed the game. Today, Kevin. Durant scored a game-high 31 points, while Link only scored 19. But there's no doubt that Link and the Grizzlies are the winners. They escaped in Oklahoma and avoided a three-game losing streak. ”

On the commentary stage, the Oklahoma commentator let out one more sigh. Throughout the game, the Thunder had the upper hand. But when Guy went off injured, the situation turned upside down.

If the Lakers don't have Kobe, the defending champions will definitely lose their fighting power. If the Thunder didn't have Durant, maybe they would have become a fringe team in an instant.

But only the Grizzlies are special, and after losing their star at home, they are stronger.

At the end of the game, Durant made a difficult 2-point shot, but it was to no avail. The score was settled at 109-104, and the Memphis Grizzlies came back to the Thunder by five points on the road, preventing a three-game losing streak. At the same time, it also broke the Thunder's dream of being the first in the West.

The moment the electronic beep was remembered, Link felt a sense of relief. He put his hands on his knees and gasped for air. In the confrontation with a perverted scorer like Durant, he managed to survive!

Originally, the team was fighting back-to-back, and even if Link was particularly physical, it would not have no impact at all.

Moreover, playing against an athlete of Durant's level is very physically and energetically, so to speak, a double torture of the defender's energy and physical strength.

Link is on the verge of danger today, shouldering a heavy responsibility. Before he got on the court, he was afraid that he would become Durant's "ATM". But fortunately, he brought a lot of trouble to Durant today.

This feeling of being on top and surviving a showdown with a superstar at a critical moment makes Link feel both happy and tired.

"Well done, man, your performance at the crucial moment saved us all."

As Link was panting for air, he realized that something was talking to him, and he propped himself up. When I looked up, I realized that it was Tony. Alan.

Tony. Allen scored 17 points today, which is a high score for a defensive player. It can be seen that James of this period. Harden's defensive ability is really spicy, even Tony. Aaron can do whatever he wants on his head.

"Thanks for the reminder, Tony. Otherwise, I'll probably be the one who will be destroyed tonight. Link smiled bitterly, Durant in this period can still deal with him against his shortcomings of too high dribbling center.

But he knows very well that in another season or two, Durant's shortcomings will also be filled. When the time comes, if you are in the opposite position again, there will be no way to be opportunistic.

I have to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible.

"Link! The last three-point shot was handsome, you lived up to my pass! ”

Link's side has just met Tony. Aaron was joking, and Randolph's voice jumped to him. Before Link could react, he was "tragically" hugged by a bear.

"Thank you for your trust, Zach, and I'm happy too. But if you continue to hold me like that, I'm probably going to suffocate......"

Link doesn't really like hugging big men, especially big men like Randolph. But to be honest, it was a joy to be able to play against the superstar in the face of adversity without suffering and putting in key shots.

Another morale-boosting victory, another desperate death. Of course, it once again defeated a "national idol" type team.

The young and energetic Oklahoma City Thunder are liked by many fans, but today, the Grizzlies, who play slowly and leisurely and are not very spectatory, knocked out this young and charming team.

The image of the Grizzlies villain is probably more entrenched.

After the game, Grizzlies coach Lionel . Hollins wasn't very happy. He was naturally very proud of this victory. But Guy's injury made him unhappy no matter what.

While Gay occasionally makes mistakes, he's the second-most points per game for the Grizzlies this season. Originally, he averaged the most points per game, but Randolph managed to overtake Guy with a good performance in January. Guy is now averaging 19.8 points per game, while Randolph's average has risen to 20.1.

No manager can laugh when he loses his second scorer. Moreover, Guy's singles ability is also much needed by Hollins.

He didn't give any interviews to reporters after the game, instead went straight into the dressing room to ask the team doctor for an update on Guy's situation.

"Guy's injury is not optimistic, Hollins."

Seeing Hollins walk in, the team doctor said straight to the point.

"More serious than last time?"

"It's much worse than last time because he didn't get better from his injuries last time, and this time he was hit hard again, which made the injury worse. I said that he was in a hurry, and if he had recovered well last time, he probably wouldn't have collapsed today. The team doctor shook his head, sometimes it's not necessarily good to try too hard.

"So, how long will it take him to recover?"

"It depends on the follow-up situation and the plan chosen, if it goes well, it is estimated that it will be able to come back in more than a month. At that time, he was just in time for the playoffs. But if the situation is not optimistic, the injury continues to worsen...... I will have to recommend surgery. The long recovery period after surgery can lead to ......"

"Lead to what?" Hollins was prepared for the worst.

"Resulting in season reimbursements."

Although mentally prepared, Hollins still gasped when he heard the words "season reimbursement" come out of the mouth of the team doctor.

This year, the Grizzlies have a lot of hope of making the playoffs. Even, to make a difference in the playoffs. But Gay's sudden injury has undoubtedly cast a shadow over the Grizzlies' playoff prospects.

That's the Grizzlies' main scorer, but it's the Grizzlies' strongest singlesman.

While Guy doesn't have to have surgery yet, Hollins has to prepare for the worst. Today, he experimented with his long-awaited starting lineup. Judging by the results, it was quite successful.

But winning a game does not completely test whether a lineup really works. But for now, Hollins had no choice but to continue experimenting.

Conley + Tony + Link + Black and White Bears, this seemingly extremely "civilian" lineup, can it help the Grizzlies reach the playoffs?

Hollins didn't know the answer, he just felt extremely lucky. If Link hadn't been signed in the first place, he really doesn't know what to do now

Survive in the West with a gritty defense and outdated interior offense? Hollins found himself doing something insanely crazy.

As for Link, he will get more opportunities than ever before......
