1145: An era that ended before it even began

Durant stared at the championship pennant at Oracle Arena, fascinated.

When we won last summer, everyone thought it was just the beginning of a dynasty, the beginning of an era.

But now......

Durant shook his head vigorously, he didn't allow himself to admit defeat before he could fight.

But today's game is too desperate.

At that moment, another sigh erupted from the Oracle Arena.

Durant looked up, and sure enough, it was Link who scored again.

"Scored, the 60th point of the game! So far in the fourth quarter, Link had scored 22 points alone, and he had taken Klay Brown. Thompson's firepower is completely suppressed! Link's scoring explosiveness is not inferior to Klay at all! ”

Durant looked at the number "60" on Link's scoring data, and he was a little numb.

He's Link, and it's not too hard for him to score 60 points.

But after looking at the difference between the two teams, Durant felt a little heartache.

At this point, there was only 1 minute 08 seconds left until the end of the game. But the Golden State Warriors are already trailing by 26 points.

After a full quarter, the Warriors still couldn't catch up with the Grizzlies.

Since Link's re-appearance, Thompson's magical aura has gradually weakened and then disappeared.

To be exact, from Link's sudden ultra-long-range three-pointer, Thompson's dominance has been gradually weakening.

Since then, Link has taken over the game completely, scoring consistently.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Thompson gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

But in the end, I realized that it was really just a glimmer of hope.

That glimmer of light was not enough for the warrior to clear the darkness.

26 min...... This huge gap made Durant very depressed.

It's true that he couldn't play today due to injury, and the Warriors didn't play with the strongest lineup.

But in Durant's view, even without himself, it would be too exaggerated for the Grizzlies to win so much.

This means that the grizzly bears do have an overwhelming advantage! This advantage may not be able to fill even after his own comeback.

In the regular season this season, the Grizzlies' 3-1 record against the Warriors is proof of this!

Durant is very scared right now, not so much because he is afraid of losing this game, but because he is afraid of losing the championship......

Before joining the Warriors, he was suppressed by Link for many years. In the West, he has not been able to get ahead against the Spurs and Grizzlies.

After making up his mind to make a change last season, he managed to defeat the Grizzlies with his own hands and escape from Link's grasp.

He didn't want to be trampled under Link's feet so quickly.

He's had enough of those days of being ruled by Link.

But now, the wild expansion of the grizzly bear seems to be unstoppable.

After Link scored his 60th point of the game, Steve Brown. Kerr suspended the game.

His face was lifeless, and Link was ready to rest after scoring a 38 points. Tothompson's "Fu", Link's score today changed from 38 points to 60 points......

In fact, Thompson played really well in the fourth quarter. But unfortunately, Link is better than him!

This is the first time Kerr has seen a player who can suppress Klay in scoring explosiveness.

Unexpectedly, the last meeting between the Warriors and the Grizzlies in the regular season this season would end with such an ending.

For Warriors players and fans, this is undoubtedly the worst possible outcome.

Coach Kerr called a timeout. This means that after the timeout returns, both sides will replace all their main forces. In the end, the outcome of the game was not changed, and garbage time was still not broken. Link held on to the victory, and this March, they were the biggest winners. ”

Mike. Brindu regretted the Warriors, and in the end, they couldn't pull off a miracle.

This game is estimated to make the Warriors depressed for a while. After all, March for the Warriors was really bad.

The plan to compete for the first place in the West failed.

Frontal hard steel grizzly bears game, lost.

And the most striking thing is that the Warriors are certainly quite lacking in confidence about their title defense right now.

Not to mention that there is still James in the East, this year, it is estimated that it is very, very dangerous for the Warriors to break out of the West.

Last season, the Warriors were able to beat the Grizzlies 4-2 overall.

But this year, the Warriors' path to qualification will never be so easy.

The garbage time of the last minute or so passed quickly, and when the beep sounded, the camera was on Durant.

He was high-spirited before the game, but now he is lonely.

Yes, in his vision, today should be the day when the Warriors return to No. 1 in the West.

However, the huge gap between ideals and reality is very shocking.

This March, which was supposed to bury the grizzly bear, in turn devoured the Warriors.

At the end of the game, 138-111, the Memphis Grizzlies won by 27 points at Oracle Arena! And this is the second time this season that the Grizzlies have beaten the Warriors by more than 25 points! In terms of regular season head-to-head records, the Grizzlies beat the defending champions! ”

Link's 60 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists were unmatched, and the 27-point deficit also proved that the Grizzlies were strong enough to dominate.

Durant only felt a cramping pain in his heart, and sure enough, Link's methods were very murderous.

"The number one in the league is not easy to mess with", not in vain.

The defending champions entered with pride, but now they are leaving one by one dejected.

This match made the status of the defending champion plummet.

Less than 10 minutes after the game, the former number one "Lin Hei" Bill. Simmons posted a message on his social media.

"People used to think that warriors could create an era of their own, but now you all know that, right? They were just lucky enough to steal a championship in the era of the Grizzlies. Now, the grizzly bears are going to get back what was rightfully theirs. ”

The crushing posture shown by the Grizzlies in this game really shocked everyone.

You must know that even the Warriors without Durant are still a strong team in the West.

People thought that the Grizzlies would win the game, but winning so much was undoubtedly unexpected by many people.

But then again, the Grizzlies have already done a lot of things this March that people didn't expect.

They have beaten the likes of the Rockets, Clippers and Spurs to make it 14 straight wins in a challenging fixture.

They weren't upset by any of the underdogs and were hopelessly consistent.

The game against the Warriors just continued the magic.

At the post-game press conference, Green, who had said the most cruel words before, turned out to make Link, who scored 22 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, the most embarrassing person in the audience.

He originally hoped to clean up Link at the Oracle Arena, but he didn't know that he was beaten and his nose was swollen.

If Thompson and McCaw had played against Link for the entire game today, Green would have had an excuse to find.

But when the crucial fourth quarter was blown up against Link, he had no room for defense.

"Draymond, after this game, the Warriors vs. Grizzlies have a win-loss ratio of 1-3. If this is a playoff scoreline, do you think you can come back from the bracket? ”

"Green, we see that you are barely able to resist in front of Link. What would you like to say as last season's Defensive Player of the Year? ”

"Draymond ......"

One embarrassing question after another was thrown out by reporters, and no matter how big Green's mouth was, this time he was completely dumb.

On the other hand, Link, who had been very serious before the game, was very relaxed now.

"I'm very happy to win against the Warriors, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. I don't think after today, neither Durant nor Green will cough in front of reporters anymore. They should understand what respect is. ”

"This 27-point win is a gift from me to KD and I hope he likes it. Of course, even if he doesn't like it, it's useless, he has to accept this gift. ”

Link finally stopped being so serious, and the Grizzlies got their revenge in the last meeting with the Warriors in the regular season, which somewhat relaxed Link.

Of course, it's not yet time to fully relax.

After solving the biggest obstacle of the Warriors in March, the pace of the Grizzlies' brutal expansion will begin to really pick up.

Now, no one can stop Link from achieving his ambitions.
