After Oklahoma's first game lost, the Grizzlies' morale was not actually much affected.

Everyone could feel that Thunder really had no good way. In the end, they could only rely on the outbreak of veteran Derek Fischer, who could stabilize the situation.

Indeed, Durant, Martin and Westbrook performed well, but without Fischer and without the 4 deadly three-pointers, it would be different whether the Thunder could win.

Players who play the game can sense the situation on the court better than the most professional commentators. Grizzlies players can clearly feel that although the Thunder won yesterday, they feel a little tired of running around.

However, Link was still fully prepared for this game. He didn't want to learn from Durant, so he was slapped in the face after making harsh words.

If you let go of all the words, you will naturally have to show the corresponding performance.

Link said he wanted to let Oklahoma City fans stand for a while, but in fact they did it a week ago.

In the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder went through a 5-minute embarrassment at the Federal Express Arena.

Facts have proved that the Grizzlies have the ability to completely silence within a few minutes. Therefore, Link dared to tell reporters that.

Even if not to vent, Link and the Grizzlies must limit the Thunder's scoring in the next game.

In the last game, the Grizzlies lost because they made the scoring of others too easy.

At the beginning, no one cared about Fischer. When they started to care about him, the "Old Fish" had already made a move.

In the next game, the Grizzlies must not make the same mistake. Link would rather break up with Durant than let others intervene in the game.

After Link made harsh words, he was naturally maliciously hyped by the media. But Link didn't care about the accusations of those guys.

Today, Link is indeed paying special attention to the news. But the reason why he pays attention to the news is because today is the day when the NBA's best defensive team is released!

Last season, Link was awarded the second team in the doubles, which was already a very amazing achievement. But this year, Link believes that he will definitely go further!

Durant, who is only one year older than him, has been selected for the Best Team three times. Now, Link has to accumulate some of his own hard honors.

Before that, the Thunder Media took the lead in boasting about it.

"Sergi Ibaka will definitely be selected for the best defensive first team this year. What about the Grizzlies? Their best defensive player is likely to not even be able to enter the best second team!"

"The best defensive team was voted by coaches from 30 teams. To be honest, there are more professional awards than media votes! Believe me, no one in the Grizzlies is qualified to be selected for the best defensive team!"

"The Grizzlies still want us to stand and watch the game in the next game? Hahaha, I think it's Ibaka who makes it difficult for the Grizzlies to move forward!"

On the Internet, Thunder fans started to sarcastically. In their opinion, the Grizzlies are most likely to be selected for the best defensive team, Tony Allen.

However, Tony Allen is just a substitute this season, and his playing time has dropped sharply, so it is very likely that he will not be selected.

Excluding Tony Allen, then there is no player who can be selected for the best defensive team.

In comparison, the Thunder have Ibaka who has made the best defense team at least, so of course they are proud.

Finally, at 8 o'clock that night, the NBA official finally released this long-awaited list.

Thunder fans were delighted to find that Sergi Ibaka was indeed selected as the blocking king! For the second consecutive year, this powerful forward with dual nationalities between Spain and Congo was selected into the best defensive first team!

But soon, the Thunder fans couldn't laugh. To be precise, basketball fans all over the world couldn't laugh.

They were all frightened by this list.

Thunder coach Scott Brooks has been having a headache these days. He feels that his hair is about to fall out.

In the last round, I just fought wits and courage with the old thief Popovich, which was already brain-burning enough. Now, I met the Memphis Grizzlies again.

Although the outside world thinks that the situation has turned around and the Thunder is sure to win the next game. But Brooks himself knows that the Thunder's current situation is quite dangerous.

Fans and reporters can take a chance, but they can’t be the head coach of a team.

The current situation is not a problem of the Thunder’s turnaround, but a problem of even if the Grizzlies win a point in the next game, they will get the match point!

So, Brooks is under great pressure. Not to mention a game, if his decision-making mistakes in a certain round tomorrow, it may ruin the Thunder's efforts throughout the season!

The reporters and fans who were yelling to counterattack the Grizzlies just stood and spoke without any pain in their backs.

Brooks took a shower after supper and relaxed. Then he was about to devote himself to the outrageous video of the Grizzlies' game.

But before that, Brooks first looked at the league's best defensive lineup list.

Like many fans, Brooks has been looking forward to this list for a long time. It is exactly eight o'clock now, and the list has probably been announced.

When Brooks opened the news, the first thing he discovered was that it was not five people who were selected for the Best Team this year, but six people!

Since Tyson Chandler and Jockin Noah scored the same voting score, both of them were selected for the best defensive team!

Finally, the list of the best defensive first teams is Chandler, Noah, Ibaka of the Thunder, James, Paul and... Link!

"Sure enough, is this kid selected?" Brooks shook his head. Although he did not vote for Link when he participated in the voting, many of his peers were impressed by Link's defensive performance this season.

To be fair, Brooks is very sure that Link was selected for the first team in the All-A-Team. This season, both against Durant, James and Anthony, Link have performed beautiful defensive performances.

Seeing Link appearing in the Best Defense Team, Brooks shook his head gently. Now, the fans and media who yelled that the Grizzlies did not have a Best Defense Team member are now embarrassed again.

Then, Brooks looked at the results of the second team in the best defensive team. After watching, Brooks was stunned.

"Are you sure the list is not wrong??" The young man in Thunder said to himself in his mind.

The players entering the second team of the best defensive team are Duncan of the Spurs, Celtics young player Avery Bradley, and...

Marc Gasol, who was thrillingly selected from the Memphis Grizzlies, Tony Ah, who is still recognized even as a substitute, and Mike Conley, who is also from the Memphis Grizzlies, who was unfortunately selected as the All-Star this season but is still recognized!

Grizzlies Grizzlies... Among the five people in the second team of the best defense, three are from the Grizzlies! In addition to Link in the first team of the best defense, there are actually four people selected for the best defensive team this season!

Scott Brooks gasped, what kind of monster team is his opponent!

Four people from a team were selected for the best defensive team, which is a very amazing thing.

The last time a team was selected for the best defensive team at the same time was 1978, and that was the era when "Tian Gou" Kareem Kareem was fighting on the court!

The team that has 4 players selected for the best defensive team in one year is the Portland Trail Blazers who just won the first championship trophy in team history!

Sure enough, defense and championship are always inseparable!

Now, the Grizzlies suddenly become a historical team in front of Brooks. Four people were selected for the best defensive team, which is so perverted!
Chapter completed!
