727: Strange old rival

Durant was originally full of expectations for this game, and he thought he could make Link, who had been so popular recently, fall to the bottom in an instant.

But since the beginning of the game, after Durant was fooled by Link's sudden change in direction, things began to deviate from Durant's expectations.

Link's beauty in the first round made Durant's heart grow in fear.

He and Link fought for four seasons, almost every season, and both sides were trying their best to destroy each other. He thought he was extremely familiar with Link and his opponent. There should be no secrets in the battle between them, and the winner and loss all depend on on-the-spot performance and willpower.

But as soon as this game started, Link made Durant feel particularly unfamiliar. His dribbling posture and his rhythm changes all of Link's movements were beyond Durant's expectations.

A familiar opponent suddenly defeated him with a strange method, which made Durant feel a little scared. Just like an old couple who had been more than ten years old suddenly discovered that one day the other became stranger.

Where did Link become different? How did he pass by himself? Durant's mind is now filled with question marks.

"Kevin, go, attack!"

Westbrook quickly passed Durant with the ball and shouted at him, and then Durant returned to his senses.

The last time the two sides were able to fight to the last moment was not just Durant. The outstanding performance of the Thunder team, especially Westbrook's excellent performance, is the main reason why they can fight to the end with the Grizzlies.

But today, everyone on the Grizzlies obviously doesn't want to play so hard anymore.

It can be seen from Iguodala taking the initiative to defend Westbrook that the Grizzlies do not want to let the Thunder have a round today, even if they have one round.

Conley's defense is good, but he is still at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness and confrontational ability when defending Westbrook.

But Iguodala is different. He is definitely a defensive player who can fight Westbrook without losing.

Link is very glad that he has so many "guards" around him, so that he can concentrate on the one-on-one game with Durant.

Seeing that it was Iguodala who was defending himself, Westbrook wanted to use his speed to force a breakthrough.

But Iguodala, as an experienced defensive expert, could not make such a mistake.

He had already let out a distance in advance to deal with Westbrook's speed.

Westbrook plunged into Iguodala, but he found that he could not continue to easily break through the basket with a crushing posture. Opponent Iguodala, Westbrook's physical advantage disappeared. In Iguodala's tough blockade, the "Turnacles" had to break through and pass the ball.

Of course, there are many types of breakthroughs and passes. Premeditated breakthroughs and passes can usually have miraculous results. However, being forced to pass the ball because of unfavorable breakthroughs is not a good pass choice.

Westbrook's pass this time obviously belongs to the latter.

The basketball flew crookedly towards Seferossa, but just halfway through, it was intercepted by Conley, who was quick-witted.

Westbrook's hasty pass was too obvious and his pass was too slow. Conley didn't have to work hard to steal such a ball.

Durant sighed and quickly retreated. He was so unwilling to accept that he didn't even receive the ball in this round, and the attack was over!

Since he was shaken away by Link and broke through, Durant felt that something was wrong today. Now, the defense just turned out to be over, and the offense also turned over.

Durant tried hard to shake his head and threw out these messy thoughts.

He didn't believe that Link could develop any new tricks in such a short time. Link's attack just now was either thinking too much or by chance.

This time, Link couldn't have played with any more flowers.

Westbrook obviously did not recover from the mistake just now. He might still be unwilling to accept the mistake just now, so he did not concentrate when he retreated.

Seeing that Westbrook was not following him very tightly, Conley suddenly accelerated during the advancement, and then threw away the absent-minded Westbrook half of his body!

Conley accelerated without warning, allowing him to drive straight into the penalty area. Off the field, Thunder coach Scott Brooks had already started to curse.

If Westbrook had a fever in this game, the Thunder would be in danger.

Conley was ready to make a layup after breaking through Westbrook, but the angry Westbrook finally made up for the mistake with his perverted physical fitness.

He jumped up and followed the moment Conley jumped up and waved his thick arm hard, giving Conley a hot pursuit!

"hateful!"

Conley was both angry and helpless. Westbrook's physical fitness was indeed unmatched in the No. 1 position. If Conley faced other point guards, he would definitely score directly.

Kevin Durant was instantly happy again. The previous second he was complaining that his little brother was not calm enough. But at this moment, he felt that he was simply Westbrook's number one fan.

The basketball rebounded violently after hitting the rebound with a strong force, and the "Swiss Army Knife" Seifrosa and Iguodala fought together.

The first fight between the two sides encountered basketball almost at the same time, but neither of them completely controlled it.

Seeing that the basketball was about to fly out of bounds, Iguodala crawled and ran, jumping into the audience before the basketball went out of bounds, and flew to save!

People say that the side position in NBA games is the essence of the essence. It is not easy to sit here, unless you have a relationship, you have to spend five to six figures.

Here, you can even clearly hear the players squirting trash words on the field or the tactics they discuss. If you want to truly feel the NBA game, then this position is undoubtedly the best.

Of course, sitting here is not perfect. For example, sometimes, you have to bear the impact of an angry strong man.

Iguodala rushed into the audience like an out of control truck. The audience was overturned, and a Memphis rich man who had just raised the popcorn was inexplicably covered with popcorn.

But at this time, the fans didn't care whether the rich man's precious suit was scrapped, nor did they care about Iguodala's position on the ground.

Cheers were quickly heard in the Federal Express Arena because the basketball was successfully rescued by Iguodala and flew into Link's hands!

"Andre Iguodala's brave save gave the Grizzlies another chance. Link once again held the ball and confronted Durant! This time, can KD complete the defense?"

With Hubby Brown's yell, Tony Allen off the field became excited again.

What would you do this time? Link.

Link thought Conley's sudden attack was enough to end the attack, but it turned out that even God wanted to see him fight Durant one-on-one today.

There is no way, then come!

Durant was more focused this time than the previous round. He stared at the basketball tightly without any distractions.

But as soon as Link dribbled, he saw Durant's Adam's apple slid significantly.

Link was still dribbling with his back straight, and it was still very unconventional, which made Durant start to be afraid!

Durant realized that the change in Link's offensive in that round just now was not accidental, and some kind of change really happened to him!

Link slowly approached Durant and reached out to call for cover.

Gasol Jr. immediately raised the high position and stood on Link's right. Link took a step to the right, seemingly trying to use cover to break through.

But the next second, Link used an extremely fast change of direction and pierced the side without cover!

The moment Link changed direction, the twisting curve of his ankles and the exquisiteness of his hands in the basketball control made Durant amazed!

However, this time, Durant prepared in advance and was not deceived. He responded immediately and posted it on, trying to block Link's breakthrough route.

"I won't make every attack so easy!" Durant roared silently in his heart. He could not wait to see Link's frustrated expression.

Just when Durant thought Link's attack was defeated by him, Link made another forward change of direction when he bumped into Durant!

If one is just a coincidence, then two consecutive times will definitely not be explained by coincidence!

Link's continuous direction change was very fast. Although it was not as fast as Rose, it was enough to make Link shake a little shooting space.

When Grant Hill was at his peak, shooting was always a weakness. But in Link, this weakness became a strength.

Hill's strengths are actually better than Hill's strengths. Every time he upgrades, Hill's weaknesses are even more powerful than Hill that season.

After shaking Durant away, Link easily jumped. Grant Hill couldn't end the attack with this move, but Link could!

Durant reached out to interfere in despair, but he didn't interfere with anything. Link had already thrown the ball before the interference came. The space for him to shake it was too big, and even Durant, who was tall and long, was difficult to block it.

After continuing the one-handed buckle just now, Link used another continuous change of direction with a clear sense of rhythm to swing Durant's mid-range shot.

Link scored 4 points in a row, and both scored very well.

Durant's fear spread rapidly like cancer cells. He couldn't tell what was different about Link, but he knew that defending Link according to the previous method would not work very well.

"Good ball Andre, thank you for saving the ball!" Link did not celebrate himself after scoring the goal, but patted Iguodala on the shoulder to show his gratitude.

Iguodala smiled, encouraged, and vowed to take a tougher defense in the next round!

Today, the Grizzlies are not just Link in good shape. Everyone is in good shape, and they are as hot as Miami's temperature.

Everything has deviated from the track Durant expected.

In the subsequent games, Link's offense was still sharp. The stronger ankle not only made Link's change ability stronger, but also affected Link's ability to instantly accelerate. He did whatever he wanted on the offensive end, and Kevin Durant was like a rookie who played the NBA one day, and was dizzy.

The tough performance of Iguodala and others on the defensive end has caused the Thunder's offense to hit a wall again and again. If you think a team with a goal of 70 wins is just a strong star, you are very wrong. The strength of other Grizzlies cannot be underestimated.

Unlike people expected, this game was not anxious, at least in the first quarter. The Grizzlies beat the Thunder from the scene to the data. After playing in the first quarter in 12 minutes, the Thunder gave people a feeling of frustration, while the Grizzlies were playing smoothly.

In the end, the Grizzlies entered the first quarter with an 11-point difference. Link scored 8 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, while Durant made only 2 of 7 shots in the first quarter. Although he also scored 8 points, his efficiency was much lower than Link.

Durant felt that everything was out of control, the game was out of control, Link was out of control, the score difference was out of control, and his emotions were gradually out of control.

He was originally ambitious, but now he is gradually being dominated by unknown fears.
