Chapter 187: Unstoppable Warriors, Back to the Top (Ten Thousand Words Updated Daily, Begging for Monthly Ticket Subscriptions!)
Cuban deeply regrets letting Nash go.

In Qin Yue's previous life, Cuban had said more than once in interviews that letting Nash go was the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life.

"I blindly listened to the team doctors' judgment on Steve's back injury," Cuban said. "They thought Steve's back injury might cause him to not last long, but in fact, we all know that even at the age of 40, Steve was still active in the NBA."

of course
Although there is a lot of evidence to prove that Cuban gave up Nash, it was indeed related to the Mavericks team doctor's misdiagnosis of Nash's back injury.

But historically, Cuban, who was obsessed with using NBA LIVE to build a team lineup for the Mavericks, also had to take the blame for his fantasy.

That's right, because it was discovered in NBA LIVE that even without Nash, the Mavericks could still win the championship as long as Dampier and Nowitzki were a team in the interior, so after decisively giving up Nash, Cuban immediately offered Dampier a 7-year, $7300 million contract.

There is no doubt that compared to the hidden dangers of injuries being abandoned
This is the real reason why Nash always feels upset about being abandoned by the Mavericks.

In Nash's opinion, he would rather Cuban scold him as a vampire who is eager for more money, ridicule his style that does not match the Mavericks, or even directly scold him for being a wimp, than finding out in the game that the Mavericks can win the championship without him.

However, how could Nash know at this moment that more than a decade later, even more outrageous things would happen in Dallas?

If anything, Cuban will use games to build his roster.

When the Mavericks general manager Harrison decided to trade Doncic to the Lakers, he made a deal that you couldn't make even in the game.

At Oracle Arena, Nash's scoring performance continues.

With the help of Qin Yue's pick-and-roll, Nash, who seemed ten years younger, scored 20 points for the Warriors in the first quarter alone.

When Nash no longer needs to organize and there is always a best player to provide him with space, his efficient offensive firepower is in no way inferior to any outside superstar who is good at scoring.

Nash's top performance immediately made this Western Conference semifinal game easier.

Moreover, his successor Curry continued to provide firepower for the Warriors after coming off the bench.

The only flaw is that
In the second quarter, Curry, who tried to perform a dunk on the court by cutting without the ball, was ruthlessly blocked by the basket.

The Mavericks players on the court never expected that the basket would become their sixth man.

Fortunately, Golden State's LaVine, whose dunk dream was shattered again, got back on track with a three-pointer that went three out of three.

As Nash and Curry performed brilliantly on the court, Qin Yue, who had just been elected MVP with a unanimous vote in this battle with the Mavericks, also fully felt how terrifying the double-team defense from Nash and Curry was.

The world's recognized best player was defended to death.

The two best defensive players from the Warriors proved with their actions that just because "Qin Girl" couldn't do it doesn't mean they can't do it.

In the first three quarters, Qin Yue scored 14 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists for the Warriors. It was not until he was replaced by Mike Malone that he noticed that he had unknowingly paddled for the entire game.
The Mavericks fell to the Warriors' wave after wave of offensive climaxes.

"Dirk did his best."

After the game, in an interview, Mavericks head coach Woodson said: "The two guards of the Warriors are like they are on fire. You all saw it. They (Nash and Curry) made a total of 15 three-pointers. Their outstanding performance on the outside made our defense completely meaningless."

In the whole game, Nash and Curry scored 41 points and 24 points respectively.

Although it is always hard to face the Mavericks, in Qin Yue's opinion, Nash's murderous intention is not strong enough.

Because of this night.
If Nash had been more determined, his scoring statistics would not have been limited to 41 points.

And the interesting thing is.
Since Qin Yue was photographed by The Sun yesterday, after the coronation ceremony, he took the newly-won trophy to a date with Sharapova at a hotel in the Bay Area.

So after the game, American reporters also pointed the finger at Sharapova, who had started preparing for the US Open several months in advance, for Qin Yue's "poor form".

"Maria is innocent." Qin Yue defended the date, "She just wanted to touch my trophy. What did she do wrong?"

Qin Yue knew that in the face of doubts, the only way he could shut up those reporters who would only attribute his poor performance to off-court factors all day long was to perform better on the field.

So two days later, Shawn Marion was defeated by Qin Yue.

Powerful blast, sudden stop, and dry pull-up shot.

On the court, facing Qin Yue's repeated long shots, Marion, who could only passively take the shots when Qin Yue was in good form, had an expression that could only be described as that of a Japanese female star who had lost all hope in life after being smeared in the face by a male actor.

Takedowns, collisions, and even football-style sacks.

Marion did use the above methods to disrupt Qin Yue's shooting touch in the game.

But just like when facing the Pistons, unless you really beat Jordan to death, you still can't defend Jordan.

As long as Qin Yue can find his touch, no matter how tough the defense is, it will be pierced through by his powerful and powerful pulling technique.

Of course, Qin Yue can not have such an excellent shooting state every night.

It was just that Marion was extremely unlucky and ran into the muzzle of Qin Yue's gun.

"FUCK!" Marion complained to his teammates after the game, "I defended like that, but he still scored. What the hell can I do?"

Caron Butler, who has been competing against the original James in the Eastern Conference for many years, feels that the Supreme version of James' dominance on the court is obviously beyond his imagination.

He couldn't give Marion any advice, but could only provide spiritual help. "Sean, he can't be so accurate in every game."

"FUCK!" Marion looked at Butler and said, "What do you know about this country bumpkin who has been playing in the East? Do you think he only knows how to shoot?"

Marion knew very well that shooting was just the mildest of all Qin Yue's offensive methods.

As early as the regular season.
Qin Yue has proved that even if the defense can get the blessing from the "Qin Yue Law", he can still complete the hard solution work for the Warriors.

If the Mavericks want to win this series, they still have to find a way to match the offensive firepower of the Warriors.

However.
Jason Terry and Kidd, who did not bring their scopes with them, turned into undercover agents for two consecutive games.

"SHIT!" Terry made excuses for his 13-for-2 three-point shooting percentage in the first two games. "Why are the lights in Oracle Arena always so bright? It makes it impossible for me to concentrate on aiming!"

Kidd felt the same way: "The fans here are a bunch of crazy people. The noise they made seriously affected my performance."

As professional players, do the lights and noise of away games really have such a big impact on Terry and Kidd?

Nowitzki didn't know.

However, since his assistants were busy passing the buck, as the head of the Mavericks, he could only take the blame after the Mavericks lost Game 112 with a score of 125 to : "I didn't play well in these two games. When I return to Dallas, I will definitely try to perform better."

It is worth mentioning that in the first two games, Nowitzki scored 34 points and 33 points for the Mavericks respectively.

第二战，总计为勇士砍下46分18篮板6助攻3封盖1抢断的秦岳在接受采访的时候说道：“德克实在太谦虚了，我认为他完全能昂首挺胸离开甲骨文球馆。”

In this era when all the stars are busy with marketing and packaging.
Nowitzki is definitely a lone hero of this era.

Because to this day, Nowitzki has never hired an agent, and all of his contracts are negotiated by himself.

In addition to the salary he received from the Mavericks, Nowitzki has accepted no more than ten endorsements throughout the year.

Moreover, the greatest star in German basketball history does not even have a pair of signature shoes of his own.

Yes, a classic shoe with Dirk’s label on the tongue is his sneaker.

However, it was this country bumpkin from Würzburg, Germany, who received unprecedented respect from Qin Yue.

"If my teammates were as useless as Dirk, I would have asked the team management to trade them to Minnesota." After the game, Qin Yue spoke for Nowitzki. "I don't want to say that my teammates dragged Dirk down, but at least in my opinion, Dirk didn't lose to us in the first two games."

Qin Yue's voice for Nowitzki is bound to embarrass Terry, Kidd and others.

But on the basketball court, if you want face and respect, doesn’t the player have to rely on his own performance on the court?

Two days later, the third game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Mavericks moved to the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

As soon as the game started, Nash, who returned to his old place, made two consecutive three-pointers from the top of the arc after pick-and-rolls for the Warriors.

"Sean, you can't expect me to get around that guy's pick-and-roll every time!" Kidd said dissatisfied with Marion's defense, "You have to help me delay Steve, delay him, understand?"

"FUCK!" Marion glared at Kidd and said, "I can help you delay, but who will help me deal with that bastard?" After a full season of running-in, the power of the "Cinna pick-and-roll" is no longer what it used to be.

Especially against the Mavericks.

Nash, who has a strong desire to attack, indirectly amplifies the power of the "Cinna pick-and-roll".

In fact, compared with traditional organizing guards, Qin Yue has always been more suitable for working with more offensive scoring guards.

Because only when his own defenders have a certain degree of offensiveness can Qin Yue amplify his Qin gravity.

After a quarrel between Kidd and Marion, Kwame Brown became the biggest winner of the night.

"FUCK!" Marion said to Mahinmi, "When I go to delay that old car, you have to pay attention to my defense at all times, understand?"

Hearing this, Mahinmi, who didn't dare to talk back, nodded repeatedly.

Then, as Mahinmi was forced to expand his defensive zone, the cunning Brown instantly had a lot of opportunities to attack the basket.

On the court, Qin Yue, who always attracted Mahinmi's help in defense, provided 5 assists to Brown in the first quarter alone.

Brown enjoyed the cake very much.

"I'm the god of war!" Brown said narcissistically after a series of dunks. "Achilles is just a chicken and a dog in front of me!"

Qin Yue was amused by Brown and decided to continue to encourage his narcissism: "Did you know that Brad Pitt played Achilles in the movie Troy?"

Brown nodded.

Qin Yue continued, "In my opinion, it would be better if Troy asked you to play Achilles. Brad Pitt is not as handsome as you."

Seeing this, Brown was overjoyed and said, "Although I know you are telling the truth, I am a black man. How can the actor who plays Achilles be black?"

Qin Yue shook his head and said, "Why can't you play Achilles just because of your skin color? This is naked discrimination! And since it's a movie, what's wrong with a little artistic processing? If I have the chance, I would also like to play Napoleon!"

There is no doubt that if Brown runs for president of the United States one day in the future, it must be the confidence given to him by Qin Yue.

The game continues at the American Airlines Center.

During Nowitzki's rest, in order to prove that he was not a waste, Terry scored 7 points for the Mavericks on the court.

"SHIT!" Moreover, when passing by the Warriors bench, Terry deliberately made a pistol gesture, "See this gun in my hand? I am a killer. I can shoot anytime I want!"

Originally, at this moment, Terry just wanted to interact with Qin Yue.

Qin Yue was also preparing to respond to Terry.

But unfortunately, in the NBA, the pistol gesture is strictly prohibited.

So Terry received a technical foul.

"SHIT!" Terry was very dissatisfied with this. "If you keep whistling like this, there will only be a bunch of good kids left in the NBA in the future!"

Qin Yue fully agreed with Terry's opinion.

Because the NBA
It feels like there are more and more good kids and fewer and fewer players with distinct personalities.

However, Qin Yue still had to give a thumbs up to the referee for his selfless decision.

On the court, Terry, who was originally in good shape, seemed to have lost his soul after this technical foul and began to fall into a vicious circle of missing shots frequently.

Curry, who found his shooting touch through a technical foul free throw, hit two difficult catch-and-go three-pointers for the Warriors on the court.

If it were an ordinary team, Curry's unreasonable shooting choices would definitely be banned.

But since Curry is playing for the Warriors, who have become even crazier because of Qin Yue, then for Curry's shooting choice, citing Qin Yue and Malone's words:
As long as Curry's three-pointer is not blocked, he can shoot however he wants after half court.

Perhaps, compared to Curry in the same period of history,
In this life, Curry cannot get more playing time like in Qin Yue's memory.

But in the limited playing time this season, this baby-faced killer who was given unlimited firing rights is also growing rapidly.

In the second quarter, Qin Yue and Nowitzki returned to the court and both used their respective signature moves to take over the game.

King Nowitzki has been in hot form for three consecutive games, giving people the feeling that he is a German chariot crossing the Ardennes Forest, rushing forward all the way and unstoppable.

And what about Qin Yue?

Under Marion's desperate defense, facing the Mavericks' defense that was forced to expand in order to deal with the Warriors' high-efficiency outside shooting, Qin Yue was like the J-20 that would never come out under the bureau chief's deception. He repeatedly flew over the Mavericks' defense zone and firmly controlled the air supremacy in an absolute sense.

Compared to his peak period, as he gets older, Marion hates that his athletic ability is no longer as good as it used to be.

Otherwise, with the "Qin Yue Law" to assist in defense, how could a hacker be put in such a passive position by Qin Yue?

At the end of the first half, the score was 67 to 61.

Looking up at the technical statistics of the two teams on the scoreboard, Marion said in despair, "Damn it! If Dirk scored 24 points for us in the first half and we were still behind, we might really be swept."

At halftime, all Mavericks players were well aware that they had basically reached their limits in the first half of the game.

But based on the experience of the previous two battles
The Mavericks players also know that the Warriors are far from reaching their limits.

"It's all Jason's fault!"

In the home team's locker room, Marion turned his attention to Kidd and said angrily, "The Warriors' point guard position is clearly their biggest weakness on the defensive end, but our star guard can't punish them with offense!"

Upon hearing this, Kidd retorted to Marion: "Shut up, I'm a fucking traditional point guard! Do you know what a traditional point guard is?"

Seeing this, Mavericks head coach Woodson had to step forward and stop this farce that has been repeated within the Mavericks this season.

Different from the era of "Little General" Johnson.

Compared to the Mavericks team that was strictly disciplined and lacked communication during halftime, this Mavericks team led by Woodson is obviously more energetic.

In Woodson's view, quarrels between players are not entirely a bad thing.

Because, being able to argue about things on the court can prove that this is a team full of spirit.

only.
At this moment, Marion's complaint also reminded Woodson.

"We really need to improve our roster to beat this Warriors team."

Woodson knew very well that during the time when Qin Yue was recovering from his injury, the Warriors, who had completed their reconstruction, had re-established a highly dominant championship team.

Therefore, if the Mavericks want to defeat the Warriors, they must strengthen their center and guard positions.

They need a center with better sweeping ability and better athleticism to guard the paint.

And they need a No. 1 player who can penetrate the Warriors' point guard position.

As for this round of Western Conference semifinals?
Looking at the Mavericks players in the locker room, their morale was not defeated by the Warriors.
Woodson knows that rather than how to defeat the Warriors, what he needs to think about now is how to avoid being swept by the Warriors.

The third game ended with a score of 126 to 111.

The Warriors won three games in a row and lead the Mavericks 3-0 in the series.

In this round of the Western Conference semifinals, when the Warriors really began to take the game seriously, their powerful offensive firepower, which is unrivaled in the current era, has deeply shocked every fan in front of the TV.

"The Warriors have continued their dominance in the regular season into the playoffs," Barkley said on TNT. "I think this team with the most outstanding players is ready to return to the top this season."
