518: The black belly who gets revenge

As it turns out, occasional relaxation does have unexpected results.

The Celtics were completely crushed by themselves, and they did have a chance to win the game. But in the end, they lost under high pressure.

Now, the whole world is looking at the Grizzlies. The whole world is witnessing the process of the Grizzlies breaking the record of the best regular season record since the 21st century.

As the Grizzlies get closer and closer to breaking the record, the team's attention is also rising.

Some people hope that the Grizzlies can break the record, so naturally some people want to watch the Grizzlies jokes.

Among them, Kevin Durant is undoubtedly one of them.

As a star who has been fighting with Link openly and secretly, it is no secret that Durant and Link are not in the face of each other.

Durant does not want to be defeated by Link again and again. As the three-game scoring champion, he is not allowed to have a second super small forward in the West, except himself.

Indeed, Durant and his Thunder beat the Grizzlies last season. But judging from personal performance, Durant did not show a state that surpassed Link.

So, the war between the two has been continuing, and this season is the same.

Since the regular season this year, the Grizzlies and the Thunder have played twice, and their record is to win one game. It is really a narrow road for enemies.

So this time, Durant is very eager to give them a blow when the Grizzlies need victory the most!

The biggest crisis so far this season is about to appear on the Grizzlies.

※※※

Although the reversal defeated the Celtics, the Grizzlies' journey is not over yet.

On March 22, the Grizzlies lost to the Hornets in New Orleans in a very unexpected way. This is what people say, basketball games are unpredictable. It is not so ideal to have a safe and secure finish in the last 18 games in the last month.

In today's game, Anthony Davis, and Robin Lopez, the Hornets' double towers, both performed well. The former scored 28 points, showing his true colors as the No. 1 pick. The latter scored 17 points and was not afraid of "European Fortress".

However, the Hornets' outstanding performance is only part of the reason for the Grizzlies' loss. The Grizzlies themselves have to bear a lot of responsibility for this loss today.

Today, the Grizzlies' overall shooting percentage is only 41.3%. But if you just look at the player's data, the shooting percentage seems to be good.

The problem lies in the substitute.

In this game, the Grizzlies scored a total of 10 points in the bench. Among them, there were 4 people with a shooting percentage of 0%. Among these 10 points, 6 points were scored by free throws!

Jimmy Butler, Tony Allen, Harris, Azeli, Vasquis, Nick Young, these "bench bandits" who have performed very well all season, were silent today.

Link and Randolph scored 30 points and 22 points respectively, but the performance between substitutes was too poor, so the Grizzlies still lost the game.

100 to 93, losing to a team at the bottom of the league, which made the players feel a little unhappy after the game.

The worst thing is not the Hornets who lost to the upset, but after this game, the Grizzlies have to return to Memphis non-stop to prepare for a game against the Thunder.

Durant has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

At 2 a.m. on the 23rd, the Grizzlies players finally arrived in Memphis. That night, the tired Grizzlies faced the challenge of their strong opponents at home.

The Grizzlies' substitute players are normal today, but facing a strong enemy like the Thunder, "normal performance" is far from enough.

Durant and Westbrook are in great shape today, especially Durant, even Iguodala is helpless with him today.

However, the Grizzlies are not easy to pinch soft persimmons. Amid the cheers of home fans, Link led the Grizzlies to fight non-stop.

Every time Durant wants to widen the score difference, the Grizzlies will approach immediately.

In this way, the two sides fought to the last 13.6 seconds. Link's turnover jump shot gave the Grizzlies 100-99 lead to the Thunder by 1 point!

At that moment, the entire Federal Express Arena seemed to be shaking. It seemed that once again, Link would use his incredible performance to guard the glory of this Arena.

However, Durant would not give up so quickly. He had already made up his mind to give the Grizzlies the most deadly beat when they needed victory the most!

So, the Thunder made a last attack. Kevin Durant made a jump shot under the blockade of Iguodala with all his strength!

With the electronic beeps and the red light on the rebound, the basketball passed through the net!

"brush!"

This is the sound of the heart being pierced.

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Kevin Durant! He broke the Grizzlies' unbeaten record this season! At the same time, it also allowed the Grizzlies to experience the taste of losing streak this season for the first time! He gave the Grizzlies the most inappropriate blow at the most inappropriate time!"

At the moment the game ended, Link felt his mind blank.

In 0.9 seconds, the Federal Express Arena, which had been held for the whole season, was officially declared to be lost!

Although everyone knows that the record of unbeaten at home cannot last for the entire season. After all, in the NBA, no team has been able to maintain unbeaten at home for the entire season in so many years.

But the fans and players were undoubtedly very uncomfortable to end the Grizzlies' unbeaten record in this way.

With the booing of the whole audience, Link turned his head and looked at the Thunder's half.

Over there, Durant was already celebrating wildly with his teammates. Even in this boo-filled venue, it could not disturb the Thunder players' experience of their joy.

"Fuck!" Link hit the technical table with unwillingness, and Old Huby Brown immediately stood up and patted Link on the shoulder.

"I know it's hard, but you have to learn to accept him, boy." Old Hubi only said one thing to Link. As for whether he could listen, this was beyond his control.

Link just politely nodded at Hubby Brown, and then walked into the player channel.

Durant turned his head and looked at the dejected Link, not to mention how proud he was.

Durant is very honored to be able to end the Grizzlies' unbeaten record at home!

In the locker room, everyone was not in a high mood. They naturally didn't want to see labels such as the first home defeat, the first consecutive defeat, etc.

Of course, at the press conference, the reporter also reminded Link of another bad news.

"After this regrettable defeat, the Grizzlies' record turned into 56 wins and 12 losses. The prospect of your decision to break the record seems to be getting less and less bright. You know, you have lost 3 games in the last ten days. Link, do you think the Grizzlies are still likely to break the record?"

After the reporter asked, everyone stared at Link. As the player with the largest traffic in this team with huge traffic, Link's every move attracted much attention.

"Link?" Seeing that Link didn't answer for a long time, the reporter called his name again.

Link came to his senses and slowly approached the microphone.

The reporters already had several expectations, and they guessed that Link might get angry or might be perfunctory in an extremely official tone.

But the reporters did not expect Link's final speech.

"I know, the situation is difficult. But if this setback can easily knock down my teammates and I, then we are not worthy of any league record. Our goal remains unchanged, and we will still strive to be the best team in the regular season since the 21st century. Then, in the playoffs, I hope to reunite with the Thunder as soon as possible. Today's account must be calculated."

After Link finished speaking, he stood up and ended the press conference.

In the eyes of some people, Link is like a child who is furious after losing. But reporters who know him know that this guy never speaks casually.
Chapter completed!
