Chapter 1 Thirty Nine Unknown Roads
After the battle with the New Orleans Hornets, the Timberwolves continued to practice together in the team, preparing for the next battle with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Almost at the same time, when Minnesota's home stadium, Target Center, cheers of victory came from the target center, and a faint cheer came from the FedEx Arena in Memphis.
Durant and Westbrook looked at each other. Although their jerseys were drenched in sweat, their dark faces still had a comfortable smile, and their eyes were full of joy.
This one, win it!
Tonight's Grizzlies resisted fiercely. Their inside line almost couldn't withstand the joint attack of Al Jefferson and Randolph. Fortunately, he and Westbrook took over the game in the second half of the game and stood up one after another to resist the ball. The team attacked the banner, launched explosive scoring for the team, and finally overtook the score, and took away the Memphis Grizzlies in a wave in the final quarter.
Both of them played very tired tonight. Although the score was finally fixed at 101:98 and ended with their victory, they both understood that it was very difficult to win this game.
The Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley was not weak at all. He even broke out in the first half. Not only did he suppress Westbrook's performance, but he also passed the ball to help the team gain the lead.
Fortunately, Durant finally exerted his strength in the third quarter. He stunned the Grizzlies with a series of emergency stop jump shots from the outside, and instantly liberated Westbrook, who was frozen by McConley. The situation opened up in an instant, and McConley was unable to stop it after all. He watched helplessly as the point difference was narrowed step by step, and was eventually overtaken by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Memphis, which maintained its advantage for most of the half, finally reaped a defeat at home. The game was very anxious. Fans who have watched the game completely understand that the Grizzlies have no regrets in losing this game. They have tried their best.
Maybe it was just a little bit of luck, as long as the Thunder team was suppressed for another quarter, the game might be completely suspenseful, and the victory would belong to the Memphis Grizzlies!
Unfortunately, luck is also a part of strength. If the Thunder did not break out in the end, the Grizzlies might win the game, but there are not so many hypotheses. The Memphis people worked hard all night and finally lost With all the advantages, it is a pity to lose at home.
When all the players of the Grizzlies left the field, the Memphis fans did not blame them and gave their home team support and encouragement with thunderous applause.
"These guys have done enough. We don't expect too much. The Grizzlies will always rise in the future, and we can see that day!" An old fan from Pau Gasol's rookie era, accepting Memphis Said so in an interview with the local sports media.
No one noticed that when McConley left the field, his steps were a bit bumpy, with one foot on the ground and even a little limp. The foot inevitably cramped.
Although his steps were not steady, his head was held high, his back was straight and resolute, and he was not at all lonely.
Later, he will find it back!
"Bruce Lee, Westbrook, Derrick Rose are all rising, and I will not give up. One day I will become the league's top point guard."
"This day won't be too far away!"
When Conley's footsteps faded away and his figure was engulfed in the bottomless tunnel, the game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies came to an end. The Oklahoma City Thunder ended their three-game losing streak and won an away game in Memphis.
They didn't give up, and they were still chasing after each other, trying to regain the top eight places in the West from the hands of the Timberwolves.
For the playoffs, Oklahoma City fans have waited too long. This year they have great hopes, and they will not let the playoff spots slip away from their hands!
