Although Link didn't score directly on the offense just now, it still made Durant feel a little unwilling. After all, the Grizzlies still scored because of Link.

Durant didn't expect Link to play to the No. 1 position today, let alone him, it is estimated that Hollins didn't expect the game to come to this point.

Letting Link play the number one position is his backup plan. If it weren't for the necessity, Hollins wouldn't have thought of carrying this plan into action.

But who would have thought that the grizzly bear would be forced so hard by the thunder as soon as he came up?

4 to 8, the difference doesn't look that big. But Durant is still full of confidence, and it is only a matter of time before he pulls away the score!

The Thunder's offense was still aggressive, but after the Thunder players passed halftime, the momentum was half gone.

Because the Grizzlies have changed again.

"Tony. Allen defends Durant and Guy defends Seflorosa. Link, on the other hand, is in front of Westbrook! Westbrook and Link are in the opposite position, and I can't wait to see what sparks can be sparked between them! "Hubby. Brown found that this change of formation made the game much more interesting.

Defending Westbrook, Link consciously took two or three steps back. To put it bluntly, it is to block your breakthrough!

You want to shoot? Just cast. If killed by Westbrook's "zombie shot", Link will admit it.

"Damn, look down on me!" Westbrook couldn't stand it when he saw Link let him go so far.

In the playoffs last season, Westbrook was criticized for "promiscuity". This summer, he studied with the famous trainer Rob Brown. McLahan trained with him, along with Derek. Ross and Kevin. A star player like Loew.

So this summer, Westbrook also practiced shooting hard.

Before the start of the season, McLahan said in an interview, "All the great guards have beautiful pull-up jumpers. Before, when Westbrook shot and jumped, he tended to float to the sidelines, but now that's changed. ”

In the first two games of the Thunder, the Magic and Timberwolves, and Westbrook's shooting percentages were indeed good.

It is estimated that now, even Westbrook believes that his shooting must have improved a lot. But Link knows very well that Westbrook's shooting has never been reliable!

Seeing that Link let himself go two steps away, Westbrook walked outside the three-point line and directly pulled up and shot!

"I'm Cao!" Durant cursed in his heart, what happened to Westbrook!? Why did it explode on the spot again!?

Link's block was timely, plus he had the advantage of height and reach. So, he caused Westbrook's shooting to be severely disrupted.

After landing on the ground, Westbrook still raised his shooting hand and waited for the basketball to enter the net.

However, the embarrassing thing is that the basketball finally hit the neck of the basket, and Westbrook used too much force to pretend to fail!

"I didn't score, this goal was too easy. Westbrook would be mistaken if they thought Link's defense would be so easy to break. He'd better learn from Kevin and see how Kevin hits Link on the offensive end. ”

"Damn, it feels good!" Westbrook looked at his hands in confusion, his shot was always so honey-confident.

Durant was a little annoyed, but he didn't think much about it when Westbrook was also bent on winning.

But this kind of thing accumulates more and more, and it always breaks out.

Link's attempt to lure Westbrook into shooting was successful, and it looked like he wouldn't have suffered too much to play the No. 1 position, either offensively or defensively. In addition to the number five position, Link can play the remaining four positions!

Durant wanted to defend Link this time, but when he thought about it, Westbrook had just played against Tony. Allen's lack of rigor in defense, KD silently switched to Tony. Aaron's side.

Since Link is going to play the number one position, let Westbrook harass him!

Link saw that Westbrook was defending himself, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed inside. Link didn't know what it was like for the others to be in front of Westbrook, but he always felt a big sigh of relief when he was paired with the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

Belch...... That seems like a no-brainer to Westbrook.

Westbrook is still pressing on Link, and Durant is bullish on Tony as much as possible. Alan. But Link wasn't as hard as Vasquith was pressed by Westbrook, he held Westbrook with one hand and grabbed the ball behind him with the other.

Westbrook's face turned red suddenly, and Nima was learning Jordan in front of me!

But Link really didn't mean to postur, he did it to prevent Westbrook from stealing. It wasn't until Link made all the moves that he realized that this wasn't Jordan's classic pose.

When Link grabbed the ball with one hand, Randolph's cover was also in place. Link then held the ball and pushed in, and Westbrook, who was hard-nosed, squeezed Randolph, which naturally gave Link a chance to break through!

Link hasn't scored so far today, so the Thunder players think Link is going to take advantage of this ball to open the game.

Durant immediately put aside Tony, who can't shoot. Aaron went straight to Link, who was almost moved to tears, Nima had to travel thousands of miles to meet him when he was so far away.

Durant crossed back to Link, and at this time, Westbrook also chased behind Link, and Ibaka quickly ran to the basket to protect the frame, and Link was like being caught in the middle.

But Link wasn't flustered, because he didn't want to score from the start.

After attracting the Thunder's defense, Link lightly passed the ball to the side without looking at anyone.

Durant's eyes followed the basketball and saw that the "big black bear" who had covered for Link received the basketball in the middle distance! And Link's breakthrough made Ibaka, Durant and Westbrook all shrink into the restricted area! Randolph is unattended!

"It's another pass! Link used his attacking threat to create a great scoring opportunity for Randolph! ”

Hubi. As soon as Brown's words fell, Randolph's mid-range shot went hollow into the net. 6-8, the Grizzlies are already on the verge of equalizing!

"2 assists, Link pulled the Grizzlies out of the abyss with 2 assists. Ever since he started playing the No. 1 position, the Grizzlies' offense has picked up. It looks like Link is going to crush the Thunder's winning plan once again. ”

With 0 points and 2 assists, Link's stats today are as good as a pure point guard. But as long as he can win, Link really doesn't care what his stats look like today.

Winning with 0 points is sometimes better than losing with 30 points.

"Calm down, let's play the success rate, the success rate!" Thunder coach Scott. Brooks couldn't sit still, and he started yelling at the Thunder players on the court.

Seeing that the advantage is being wasted a little bit, can Brooks not be in a hurry?

He even wondered if his point guard might be as calm as Link......

With the lesson of the previous time, Westbrook began to ...... It's time to go into personal scoring mode!

I'm angry, why did I get instantly dumb as soon as that Link guy came to the number one position!? This is the breath that Westbrook can't swallow the most, so he decides to fight Link again!

"Russell, this way!" Durant was also anxious, seeing that Westbrook was going to take the ball himself, Durant hurriedly raised his hand to ask for the ball.

But Westbrook didn't pay any attention, and, Tony. Allen's defense of Durant also made it difficult for Westbrook to get the ball to.

Westbrook also called for a block this time, and the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" wanted to report it back.

But this guy with a "turtle shell" on his back is actually not suitable for blocking and dismantling, because it is very simple to prevent his blocking and dismantling, just go around and delay the breakthrough directly!

As soon as Ibaka's cover came up, Link went straight back!

Westbrook suppressed his desire to shoot and went to the basket!

If it was last season, Link would probably be topped by Westbrook's "little steel cannon". But now Link, not to mention forcing Westbrook to stop, does still put a certain amount of pressure on the turtle.

"Spread, pass!" Durant finally got rid of Tony. Aaron, still fantasizing that Westbrook can see himself as he gets his chance.

And then it turned out that this was really just a fantasy. Westbrook, who had an iron head, went straight to Link and went to the basket, and Link didn't give an inch, which made Westbrook's layup extremely difficult.

Even Westbrook couldn't hit such a difficult layup every time. The basketball went directly to the "bridge" and flew from the right side of the basket to the left side of the basket, but failed to stick to the frame!

Westbrook immediately complained to the referee, but to no avail, there was no foul.

Randolph grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Guy. Guy pushed forward quickly and finally scored a layup in the crowd to show Westbrook what the right layup is.

At this point, the Grizzlies equalized! From the beginning of Link's No. 1 position to the present, the Oklahoma City Thunder has not received anything!

Link looked at Westbrook with delight, as long as he continued to "play normally", then the Grizzlies would win the game sooner or later. When Durant is at a loss, only Westbrook can stop him!

Today, Hollins made the right decision to let himself play in the No. 1 position! Now, Link wants to "have fun" with Westbrook more and more.
