In the second quarter, when the Memphis Grizzlies were 10 points behind, they almost launched a textbook counterattack.

In the third quarter, when the Oklahoma City Thunder was 11 points behind the Grizzlies, the Thunder did not perform well enough. Unlike the Grizzlies, the Thunder completely fell!

At this time, the game had reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Oklahoma City Thunder was still 8 points behind the Grizzlies.

Since being stunned by Link's 7-0 in the third quarter, the Thunder has never gained a lead. Durant's offensive efficiency fell in a diving manner, but Link took the initiative, leading the Grizzlies.

Rotation time, due to the existence of Tony Allen and Jimmy Butler, the substitute firepower that the Thunders proudly had completely disappeared in the first quarter. Reggie Jackson and Kevin Martin played a good shot in the quarter. I wonder if the Thunder missed James Harden now.

Thunder fought hard and finally narrowed the gap to double digits. But when we looked at the time, it was no longer enough!

Durant has not given up yet. He encountered the Grizzlies for the first time this season. This dark-bellied No. 35 naturally doesn't want to lose. Therefore, even though he was exhausted and out of breath, Durant is still trying to take over the game.

As the three-game scoring champion, Durant's efforts have just begun to show results.

Durant just scored 4 points in a row with a mid-range shot and a layup, which narrowed the gap. So for the third time, there is no doubt that the basketball was passed to Durant again.

Iguodala defended very hard, and Durant was overwhelmed by the Grizzlies' new player today. Durant couldn't help but think, if Iguodala was in Memphis last season, would the Thunder still have a chance to win?

Durant didn't dare to think deeply, he hoped to use actions instead of guessing!

In the end, Durant chose to play pick-and-roll with Ibaka. As long as there is a flash of space, Durant will shoot decisively!

Thunder No. 35 took the ball around the cover and flashed to the free throw line. Before Iguodala got rid of Ibaka, he jumped out.

But Durant had just jumped up and had not had time to lift the basketball, but found that the basketball was uncontrollable and cut off!

It was Iguodala, who accurately cut off the ball from Durant's hand from the side. The record of scoring for two consecutive rounds was interrupted!

After Iguodala grabbed the basketball, she didn't think much about it and passed it to Link!

If you think Iguodala is just a devilish thorny man, you're very wrong. Iguodala is a player with a great overall perspective, and he can also organize and launch an attack. Therefore, passing the ball to the right person at the first time is not a problem for Iguodala.

At this time, the "Swiss Army Knife" Seifrosa, who is defending Link, but no matter whether you are a "Swiss Army Knife" or a "wrong man", you can't do anything to Link today.

Link turned around flexibly and left the Swiss behind. Finally, the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena could watch Link make a layup in despair, widening the gap to 10 points again.

In the last minute of the game, Link widened the gap again. Durant stopped, supported his knees with both hands, and took a breath.

He was tired, and he felt that he could not hold on.

"Kevin Durant has played for 43 minutes today. If he still doesn't leave the game in the last minute, then the playing time will be 44 minutes. 44 minutes, even for Durant, the consumption will be too high. After all, look at what roles are defending him. Fighting against Iguodala, Link, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler and others, the consumption will definitely double! KD is exhausted, and it may be difficult for the Oklahoma City Thunder to organize an effective counterattack."

The commentator was right. In the next minute of the game, the Thunder did not make any effective counterattack. They could still score goals, but they couldn't connect the goals.

In the end, when the score difference was frozen at 107 to 97, the electronic beep sounded ruthlessly, leaving this cruel ending at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Durant covered his head with his hands in annoyance, and 10 points, the Oklahoma City Thunder actually lost by 10 points at home!

In addition, Link scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists today with double-double data! What about Durant? 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

From personal data to team victory, Durant both lost!

The ending he least wanted to see became reality!

Kevin Durant, lost tonight!

"It's over, it's finally over. For Oklahoma City fans, the second half of this game was a mental torture. They must be very uncomfortable when they watched the Thunder be crushed to the ground but couldn't turn over. Since last season's playoffs, the Grizzlies have no way to win at the Chesapeake Energy Arena. But today, they broke this curse!"

The local commentator of Oklahoma City also had to admit that the Grizzlies are strong today.

In addition to Link who was angry in the second half, Jimmy Butler on the bench also scored 13 points.

On the other hand, Reggie Jackson and Martin combined, only 14 points.

"Link's personal performance today is very outstanding. In the first half, he led the offense to fill in the 10-point difference. In the second half, he completely widened the difference. Today, after the Grizzlies' last big victory over the Heat, Link won the second double-double in a row. How do you say it? We all saw it. Now Link already has the ability to play against top small forwards. The Memphis Grizzlies also have the capital to wrestle the arm of the top teams!"

Defeat James and Durant in succession, and commented that you just don’t want to brag about Link. If it’s just one game, it may be a coincidence. But twice in a row, I have to say that Link is no longer the same level as before.

After the game, Durant did not hug Link. He wanted to walk into the player passage in frustration, but was stopped by reporters, "Kevin, what do you think is the main reason for the loss today?"

The reporters hope to hear Durant complain about Westbrook. Although Westbrook scored 17 points today, his 31.6% shooting percentage is really eye-catching. In comparison, Westbrook's shots today are only 2 fewer than Durant.

As a result, Durant's score was 11 points more than Westbrook's. The gap in efficiency between the two sides was obvious at a glance.

Therefore, journalists who are not interested in the big deal plan to do something to sow discord.

But what the reporters didn't expect was that Durant didn't mention Westbrook in a word. He just scratched his head with a frown, and then said reluctantly, "I failed to beat Link at a critical moment. That's why we lost today."

After saying that, Durant walked into the player channel with a gloomy face. This was his first time, from the results of the game to his personal data, he lost so thoroughly.

On the other hand, Link did not take the opportunity to mock Durant. When the reporter wanted to interview Link, the forward who scored 30+10 data against the scoring champion just pointed at Jimmy Butler, "He is the protagonist today, go and interview him."

Do you think Link is good to Butler? No, he was just ordered to delay Butler for a few more minutes on the basketball court. Because in the locker room, Randolph had already led everyone to surprise Jimmy Butler to celebrate his outstanding performance today.

In this happy atmosphere, the Grizzlies achieved an incredible 7-game winning streak! At the same time, the espn experts also asked a question.

"Next, who can stop the Memphis from expanding wildly? Who can give them the first loss of the new season?"
