184: Unpredictable Ending

The Memphis danced in the stands, and the Grizzlies' Five Tigers' card avatars were shaking wildly by fans.

This may be the most brilliant moment in Memphis basketball history. The Grizzlies will usher in their first playoff victory at home! And, through such a "Memphis" approach.

Tenacious, unyielding, tenacious and tough, the Memphis people have allowed the whole world to see their character. All teams coming to Memphis cannot easily escape!

At this time, Durant forced a layup in Link's block. However, under such a tight block and Gasol Jr.'s assisted defense at the basket, Durant's attack made another iron.

At this point, Durant has made 0 of 3 shots in overtime and still failed to score. His scoring has stopped at 22 points, while Link has scored 28 points after the mid-range shot just now!

This is his career playoff score high!

"Kevin missed again. He and Westbrook continued to score a point in overtime. Now the game is over with only 20 seconds left. I think the embarrassing record between Durant and Westbrook should continue." Hubby Brown finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Durant fail to shoot again.

In this way, the Grizzlies' overtime game is perfect! They not only won the game, but also won the Thunder Gemini! Their magical performance is enough to surprise all media!

Conley is still controlling the basketball, and the Grizzlies lead the Thunder by 8 points. The young people wearing blue jerseys have given up on defense and look lonely. The Grizzlies have not continued to attack, and giving up on offense when the opponent has surrendered is a manifestation of respect for their opponents.

Scott Brooks sat on the bench. Although the Thunder did not lose much, the two sides were very anxious. But Brooks thought he had encountered a terrible opponent.

If you are 16 points behind, you can still recover with ease. No one wants to meet such an undefeated opponent. Even if you win, you will lose 800 yourself.

Now, Brooks understands why the Grizzlies can quickly counterattack from eighth to fifth. They are definitely worthy of the fifth in the West, and they are one of the best teams in the West.

"Beep"

The electronic beeps made the young people of the Thunder get rid of them. 101-93, the Grizzlies successfully staged a shocking reversal by 8 points at home, defending their home court, and turning the total score of the series into 2-1!

The Thunder fell behind again, and these young and energetic guys were very disappointed. They were so close to victory, and their goal this season was to compete with top teams like the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, in the first round, the Thunder was already unable to resist. Being counterattacked by the opponent is the most morale-hit way to lose.

After the game, Durant and Westbrook both left with an unhappy look. You don’t know what a brilliant picture these two guys had imagined before the start of the playoffs, but in Memphis, all of this was torn apart by the "big villain".

Link felt relieved when he looked at the score on the big screen on the scene. The whole game was tense, and now he suddenly relaxed, but instead, Link felt a sense of fatigue surged up.

He was very glad that he did not give up when he was 16 points behind. As it turned out, some things could be obtained by working hard.

"Link, are you tired?" Randolph saw Link standing alone on the court, and walked over and hugged him.

"To be honest, I feel very tired now, where are you?"

"So too, man. But we won after all, didn't we?" Randolph and Link raised their arms and touched each other, and they got another tough game!

"Link suppressed Kevin Durant in this game, which was incredible. Durant has been ranked first in the scoring position for the second consecutive year. He averaged 27.7 points per game during the regular season, with a shooting percentage of 46.2%, which is definitely the top scorer in the league. However, Durant only scored 22 points in this game with overtime, and his shooting percentage almost fell below 40% from 10 of 24 shots. I bet that this season has made Durant such a miserable game, no more than five games!"

Looking at Link embracing Randolph on the court, Hubby Brown began to imagine.

A power forward who was despised but cut off 20+20 today. A small forward who was unknown and even lost the election today suppressed the scoring champion.

Hubby Brown is looking forward to how much impact this pair of forwards can bring to this league.

Maybe the first win in the playoffs is not their goal, maybe the first win in the home game in the playoffs is not their goal. They are eager to go further and they will subvert everyone's stereotypes.

The golden age of Memphis Grizzlies is likely to come here

※※※

In the third game of the series, the Grizzlies' 16-point reversal at home naturally became the most talked about topic in the playoffs.

However, some people are happy and some are worried. The so-called experts who say that the Grizzlies have little hope of advancing suddenly disappeared after the third game of the series.

The Grizzlies won the first game of the series, and some people say that Randolph's performance was too magical. When he lost the second game, people say that the Thunder's firepower was too strong for the Grizzlies.

But now, when the Grizzlies reversed 16 points in the third game, no one will jump out and say sarcastic words. This game fully demonstrates all the advantages of the Grizzlies.

At this time, people are discussing one thing. Is it possible for the Grizzlies to advance to the second round for the first time in history?

Before the playoffs begin, if someone tells you that the Grizzlies can beat the Thunder, you will definitely say that this person is crazy. But now, the facts are right in front of you. The Grizzlies have the same chance of winning the series as the Thunder!

And the trend of the subsequent series also fulfilled people's conjecture!

In the fourth game of the series, the game is still in Memphis. This game is the closest score among the three games at present, and the final difference is only 3 points!

In the past game, Westbrook used two free throws to drag the game into overtime. Today, Durant's last three-pointer failed to help the Thunder survive. 95 to 98, the Thunder lost two consecutive away games, and the Grizzlies took the lead in getting the match point! Today, Randolph still scored a gorgeous double-double of 24+13. Link scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. His data was not very gorgeous, but it was crucial to Durant's defense.

For example, if Durant drags the last goal into overtime, the ending may be very different.

The Grizzlies got the match point, and now the fence-in-law think that the Grizzlies will advance immediately.

However, when the Thunder home Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the series returned to Oklahoma City, the Thunder defeated the Grizzlies again by 27 points! In the last game, the two sides created the smallest score difference in the series, and this time undoubtedly created the largest score difference.

After arriving in Oklahoma, the Grizzlies players suddenly lost their form, including Randolph and Link.

Link scored only 9 points with 3 of 9 shots, Randolph made 4 of 16 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 25%, Conley made 4 of 13 shots, Tony Allen made 2 of 7 shots, which left the Grizzlies players with no sense of the game. Only Gasol, the team scored in double digits, and the Grizzlies were abused to the point of being completely beaten.

In the interview after the game today, Link shook his head helplessly, "Our performance today is a disaster, it is simply the biggest disaster."

The total score of the series was tied to 3-2, and the Thunder won back. The two sides went back and forth, and this was definitely the most intense series in the first round.

The Thunder's big victory in this game undoubtedly made the young people's morale soar, but fortunately, the next game will return to the Grizzlies' home court. The Thunder has never won a game in Memphis in this round of the series.

The Grizzlies only need to win another game to create history to advance to the second round.
