Three hundred and forty-seven: This is n
Tony Allen defended Durant’s first shot and it looked like the Grizzlies had a chance to get the ball.
However, the energetic Westbrook got the rebound before everyone else. Mike Conley was extremely upset, he didn’t stand up to others! As a number one player, Conley’s habits are really not very good.
And the unrestricted Westbrook is like a running wild horse, hitting the inside, leaping high, and getting a key offensive rebound!
Westbrook didn’t mess around. At this time, the black and white bears were all under the basket. If they attacked twice directly, I’m afraid they will eat hot pot.
As a result, Westbrook grabbed the rebound and sent the ball to Durant. Durant made his second shot!
This time, Tony Allen’s interference didn’t work. Kevin Durant hit a long-range jumper and the stands of the Chesapeake Energy Arena turned into a tossing blue ocean.
With a key goal in the last 21 seconds, Durant allowed the Thunder to lead the Grizzlies by 5 points!
Link shook his arm in annoyance, and the Grizzlies players were very upset. Five points behind in the last 21 seconds is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is-if this ball loses again, the Grizzlies will be behind by a big score of 2 to 0!
That’s right, at this time the Western Conference Finals has reached the second game. In the first game, Durant blasted 35 points, Harden 20 points, Westbrook 15 points, the Thunder scored 70 points and beat Link’s 24 points, leading the Thunder to win the game by 6 points. .
In Game 2, the Grizzlies desperately needed a victory to stabilize the situation. As a result, today, Westbrook calmly broke through the ball, allowing the Thunder to shoot outside.
Sefolosa 19 points, Harden 15 points, Durant 22 points, Westbrook 9 assists and 7 rebounds, only 1 turnover!
The Thunder suppressed the Grizzlies for an entire game. Every time, when the Grizzlies had a chance to equalize, Durant would stand up and personally smash the Grizzlies’ hopes.
Just now, Durant undoubtedly gave the Grizzlies the biggest blow of the game.
Hollins called a timeout, the game is not over yet, but the Thunder fans on the scene have begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
Under the cheers of the opposing team, the Grizzlies players were very unhappy.
On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith kept emphasizing, “There is indeed a difference in strength between the two teams, and the Thunder have an absolute advantage! As I said, the Thunder only play 6 games at most, which is the most!”
There is indeed a gap. In addition to Durant, the Thunder’s performance is also remarkable. And the Grizzlies… Gasol 15 points, Conley shooting 38%, Randolph only 11 points, and Pondset and Harden are naturally incomparable…
This is the power gap that Kenny Smith said.
In the stands, some fans are also swearing.
“Feel the fiercest revenge, Memphis chores!”
“Do you know that the No. 1 in the West is great!? You have been a humble team all your life, all your life!”
All situations are not good for the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies players who have been behind in the fierce battle for so long have no longer their morale.
Think about it, you do your best to fight the other side, and it seems that people can easily lead you. This feeling can make people very helpless and unable to raise morale.
It was hard to defend one, but Westbrook easily got a rebound. This blow to the Grizzlies’ morale is completely double.
What’s more, this kind of game, the Grizzlies have already experienced the second game!
In the last 5 seconds, Hollins gave Link a three-pointer. But in the end, the tactics were not executed successfully on the court. Randolph failed to help Link block Durant, and Durant pounced on Link, interfering with his key long shot.
In front of a confrontation with a height of more than 2 meters 10 and an unusually long wingspan, Link was no different from a blind shot at that moment.
He couldn’t see anything, not just his eyes. At that moment, Link’s mind was blank. He was thinking what to do if he fell behind 2 to 0.
Then, the basketball knocked out. Ibaka scored the rebound, and there was not much time left in the game. The Grizzlies had to foul tactically.
But everyone knows that the Thunder will win!
In the end, the Thunder won the second game of the series at home! 2-0, the Thunder took a big lead and ended their battle at home.
Link scored 22 points today like Durant, but the difference is that Durant scored in the last 21 seconds. At the last moment, Link was embarrassed.
At the end of the game, the Thunder players cheered and hugged each other. 2 to 0, which is a huge lead. Not only is the lead in the score, but also a huge psychological lead.
Now, the Thunder players will tell themselves, “As long as you win one more game, this **** series will be the **** end!”
“It’s too strong. Oklahoma City Thunder took a 2-0 lead in a devastating way. I think they should be able to start pre-sell tickets for the Finals now! Durant’s final blow was extremely calm, of course. Thanks to Westbrook’s valuable rebounds and calm passing. For a perfect game, the Thunder players can go to Memphis with peace of mind.”
Kenny Smith is praising the Thunder, the fans are praising the Thunder, and the reporters are praising the Thunder.
And in a corner where no one was paying attention, in front of the technical stage, Link directly sat on the ground, not daring to imagine that the team was already behind 0-2!
In these two games, Link felt a huge gap in strength. Not only the gap between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, but also the gap between him and Durant.
The scene of the key shot of iron strikes just now is still lingering in Link’s mind.
Several cameras were aimed at Link and gave him a close-up of his frustrated facial expression.
“The Grizzlies have been magical enough this season, but their magical end has an end. Perhaps their end is here!” Kenny Smith shook his head. This year’s Western Conference is destined to belong to the Thunder.
It wasn’t until Randolph came and pulled Link that Link got up and left the court.
He refused all interviews from reporters. Now Link just wants to go back to the locker room and leave the nervous arena.
Randolph didn’t say a word during the whole process. Today he only scored 11 points and was completely suppressed by Ibaka.
Randolph wanted to play well too, but the constant pain in his knee made him do this at best. He wanted to help Link, but he couldn’t do it…
But looking at Link’s dejected look, Randolph was quite unhappy. In his impression, this seemed to be the first time Link was so disappointed.
In the end, Randolph only said lightly, “We haven’t lost at home yet. It’s time to defend our home court.”
Link nodded slightly, but in fact he didn’t cause much disturbance in his heart. Both games are lost like this, so what do you use to defend the home court?
Sitting by his locker, Link was panting. Durant is too difficult to defend this season, and blocking his dribble has no effect. Durant has improved a lot with the ball, and most importantly, Durant can play without the ball this season.
The two guards, Westbrook and Harden, are enough for the offensive with the ball.
This is equivalent to Durant hides his biggest shortcoming. Now, Link was really helpless.
Link took out his phone in frustration, and sure enough, it was another bunch of text messages. Only this time, the congratulations message turned into a comfort message.
Link didn’t intend to read it, but discovered that there was a text message from Dirk!
Dirk Nowitzki was the opponent of the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals last season. Although he had said something privately with Link, his relationship was not close.
Therefore, Link was very surprised when he received his text message.
Link clicked on the text message and looked at it and found that the content was not long, “You look frustrated, this is not like you last season. You can be 20 points behind, but you have to fight. You don’t know what will happen, you can only Playing desperately. That’s how you almost knocked me over last season, did you forget?”
Dirk was very impressed with Link last season because he seemed to see himself as a young man. Although the Mavericks eventually won, Dirk liked Link’s strength very much.
So Dirk, who went home to fish early this year, saw Link’s desolate appearance and sent such a text message.
He doesn’t want to look at a player he likes and just admit defeat.
At the same time, Durant was being interviewed on the TV in the locker room.
“What do you think of the Grizzlies’ unbeaten home record in the playoffs? I don’t care about the record, I just need to destroy the opponent, even if it is at their home court.”
Seeing Durant’s arrogant look, Link sneered. Today he is a loser and he cannot refute anything. But after reading Dirk’s text messages and Durant on the TV, Link gritted his teeth.
“You’re right, Zach. The past is over, we should go to defend the home court.” Link took off his jersey, then compared his hand to a gun and aimed at Durant on the TV.
You win four games, bastard!
