Reverse Growth Superstar

At the end of the first quarter, the Thunder managed to avoid allowing the Grizzlies to widen the point difference to double digits.

But in the end, the results of the first quarter were not good for the Thunder. 20:28, the Oklahoma City Thunder came to Memphis with great enthusiasm, and then was beaten and bruised in the first quarter.

8 points behind in a single quarter, there is no doubt that such a situation is unexpected before the Thunder.

In the first quarter, Link had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. On the defensive end, it was no longer easy for Durant to score, and he was the best sixth man this year.

On the offensive end, Link made 4 of 5 shots in the first quarter with extremely high efficiency. Durant failed to stop him, and Harden directly chose to drop the connection.

In the first 12 minutes of the game, Link led the team to play momentum at home. They let the Thunder see that the Federal Express Arena is not something you can win if you want.

Now, the whole world is praising Link and the Grizzlies, but Hollins is a little bit burnt.

In the first quarter, Link played 12 minutes! Should he play in the second quarter, leaving Hollins in entanglement.

I have to admit that the Grizzlies are somewhat dependent on Link at this stage. Link went immediately, and even lost his offensive focus.

Last season, the Grizzlies could rely on Randolph to score. In this year's regular season, Gay was also a good scorer when he was healthy.

But at this time, the Grizzlies only have Link, a stable offensive point. Although others can score, they are still far from the role of "scorer".

Seeing Link panting, Hollins decided to give Link a rest anyway. After all, this is the Western Conference Finals, with fierce confrontation and huge consumption. A player is tired from playing a full 12 minutes in the regular season, let alone doing so in the Western Conference finals.

So when the second quarter just started, Link was pushed on the bench by Hollins. But fortunately, Durant, who also played 12 minutes in the first quarter, also did not play, which undoubtedly made Hollins breathe out.

Now, the scoring points for the Thunder are Westbrook and Harden. But to be honest, in Hollins's mind, these two guys combined are not as threatening as Durant.

As long as it is guarded carefully, it will not collapse.

"Don't worry, I won't let them overtake until you come back." Before the second quarter, Tony Allen patted his chest in front of Link.

Link was very moved, he was not fighting alone.

In the second quarter, Randolph and Link were both resting. Randolph will move up to the top center position later, so take the time to rest now. The Grizzlies will rotate Randolph, Gasol and Speights on the inside.

Known as the "Asia's No. 1 Center", Haddadi did not make the playoff roster. Link played in the Grizzlies for two seasons, and he did not even meet Haddadi several times. Therefore, Haddadi cannot share the pressure on the inside.

Link is still trying to even out his breathing, taking an extra round of rest, which is all luxury. Once on the court, there is no time to adjust, but must show performance immediately.

This is the Western Conference Finals, cruel and full of charm.

Just as Link stared at the court seriously, Randolph sat next to Link with a smirk, "Hey, can you come to an American banana?"

Link:? ? ?

Link looked at Randolph in confusion, thinking that this guy was making some glamorous jokes. Unexpectedly, he actually carried two big bananas dangling in front of Link's eyes.

"Where did the banana come from!?"

"The fans gave it to me! Come on, let's do it! Go up and hammer those cubs after eating!" Randolph said, peeling the banana, and putting it in Link's mouth without any explanation.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it myself!" Link quickly patted Randolph's hand. It always feels a bit strange to be fed bananas by a **** guy...

The footage of Link and Randolph gorging and eating bananas on the sidelines was captured by the camera. Although it seemed that these two guys were playing treasures, they were not.

During exercise, athletes will sweat a lot, and potassium in the human body will be lost with sweat. The potassium content in bananas is particularly high, which can quickly replenish the potassium needed by the human body. This can increase muscle endurance and make exercise more sustainable.

In addition, bananas are also a good fruit for replenishing energy and can quickly replenish energy. Therefore, in most sports, if you need to supplement energy, bananas are a good choice.

It's nothing new for NBA players to steal food from the bench. Back then, O'Neal even made a black pocket of popcorn and ate it in front of him...

But for Link, who strictly requires his own diet, if it were not for usefulness, he would certainly not eat randomly.

Therefore, when the fans are laughing that Link and Randolph are still thinking about tricks, the two are actually ready for the fight later.

Just two minutes into the second quarter, Durant was taken by Brooks by the chance of a dead ball.

Seeing this, Hollins also hurriedly replaced Link and Randolph. Before the two played, they handed the banana peel to Jimmy Butler very uniformly.

Butler shook his head helplessly. As a first-year rookie, it is normal to help the big guys to throw rubbish...

At this point, it was the Grizzlies' offensive round. The point difference was only recovered by 2 points. If the Grizzlies can score this round, the point difference will return to 8 points.

After Durant came on the field, he faced Link with a look of disgust. Finally, I could not help but said coldly, "The corners of the mouth...there are bananas..."

Link did not respond to Durant, but licked his tongue flexibly to clean the corners of his mouth!

While Durant was stunned, Link received a direct breakthrough from the basketball!

Durant's reaction was indeed slow for a while, his mind was still full of pictures of Link licking the corner of his mouth...

In this way, Link, who felt as if he had a lot of physical strength, leaned on Durant, who was half a bit slower, to make an easy layup. The point difference has become 8 points, the Thunder is still under great pressure!

"Haha, it seems that the banana just worked. As soon as Link came on the field, he made a very resolute breakthrough and got 2 points~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is his 11th point today, and the Grizzlies still maintain Lead by 8 points!"

Hubby Brown smiled and shook his head. Whether that guy is holding a thermos cup with Erlang's legs upright, or eating bananas exaggeratedly off the court... But as soon as he gets on the court, he immediately becomes dangerous.

Durant waved his hand very annoyedly. Didn't that guy Link know tired?

In the next few rounds, both sides played offense and defense. Durant's scoring is still sharp, but after the Grizzlies have Link, the offensive and defensive ends are extremely tough.

After eight minutes, the Thunder was still 6 points behind, seeing the halftime coming to an end!

At this time, Brooks replaced Durant, let him rest and prepare for the second half of the game. Link can't rest, he still has to watch the Thunder's best sixth man.

Durant's face was full of displeasure when he left the field. After playing for so long, he failed to narrow the point difference further.

So after leaving the field, Durant's first thing was to tell Brooks, "Give me a banana too!"

Brooks is speechless, it's nothing more than you and him on the court, you have to compete when you eat bananas off the court...

Although the second quarter seemed to be a lot more fun than the first quarter, Hollins kept it in his heart.

Halftime is almost over, but the Grizzlies have not widened the points difference to double digits. The Thunder are strong, as strong as the Grizzlies!

In this game, it is estimated that the winner will not be determined until the last moment...At that time, Hollins does not know whether Link can make it to the critical round. A banana may be able to continue Link's good state, but it has not been magical enough to double Link's physical strength.

Hollins became nervous, and had already anticipated the tactics of the key round...
