Chapter 255 You dare to judge me? (Second update! Requesting monthly votes!)

Some players seem to have a natural magic that can unite their teammates closely and get them to give their all for a common goal.

In the second quarter, before sunrise, the Warriors' bench successfully maintained their lead.

Although, if all of them were in their prime, this lineup of Ben Wallace, Antawn Jamison, Harrison Barnes, Jimmy Butler, and Steve Nash might even have had a chance to compete for the championship.

However, considering that apart from Butler, the other four players in this reserve lineup are 37, 35, 31 and 38 years old respectively, and these are just fading veterans, their performance on the court that night was still far beyond people's expectations.

Especially in the round before Qin Yue returned to the field.

In the fight for a rebound, when Ben Wallace flew out of bounds to save the ball, Steve Nash even ran faster than the young Jimmy Butler.

At Staples Center, as Nash slammed the ball into the basket on a fast break, the fans in the arena immediately let out a groan of despair.

In this Western Conference Finals, which was also a contest of mental fortitude between the two sides, the Warriors players, aiming for a three-peat, undoubtedly proved with their actions on this night what true determination means.

On the field, Qin Yue returned to the game after two rounds when the ball was dead.

ESPN's Jeff Van Gundy said, "The Lakers missed the opportunity to build a lead during Messiah's rest period, and now, with the Warriors bringing back their starters, it's the Lakers' turn to be tested."

In order to establish a lead while Qin Yue was resting, "Black Bread" Brown used three key players—Kobe, Paul, and Gasol—during the transition period of the game.

However, the superior roster level did not create the advantage Brown wanted.

Furthermore, on the court, during Qin Yue's first offensive possession after returning to the game, the rising sun illuminated the warriors' path forward with its first rays of light.

Dribble back and accelerate again.

Then, in the Lakers' paint, Qin Yue, fed up with all the formalities, ignited the atmosphere on the Warriors' bench with a powerful dunk.

The substituted Ben Wallace was frantically waving a towel.

Don't ask Qin Yue's teammates why they always maintain such high morale and can shine as soon as they step onto the court.

Because Jamison, who was also substituted, will tell you: "This is the difference between him and that king who lives in his own fairy tale!"

Every Warriors player firmly believes that Qin Yue will always be there for them, no matter what.

When it's the turn of the substitute players to come on, they will naturally stand out from their teammates.

After all, in the strictly hierarchical NBA
If you're just an average, self-aware role player, but your team's leader keeps blaming you and asking you to play the role of his Jordan, how could you not panic?

Moreover, even if you could impersonate Jordan, consider that afterwards you'd likely only get the compliment of "you finally capitalized on his great pass."
If you don't understand something, just ask. But if you keep doing this, can you really give it your all every night?
In his previous life, Qin Yue's famous saying, "The team lost, but someone didn't lose; it's just that his teammates are CBA," was undoubtedly the best answer to this question.

Some people's teammates are always from the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association).

But some people always have superstar teammates.

For example, on the court, in the next Warriors offensive possession, "super center" Brown, with Qin Yue's help, once again got the chance to wreak havoc in the Lakers' paint.

Who says a player like Brown, who originally only had the looks of "Sister Yu," couldn't play the role of "Liu Yifei"?

Bang-dang——!
At Staples Center, the instant Brown slammed home a dunk, the player, known for his dramatic flair, immediately followed up with a celebratory gesture of pressing his hands down and repeatedly raising his legs high.

On TNT, Brown's arrogance infuriated O'Neal, who exclaimed, "What gives him the right to be so arrogant? Who gave him the courage?"

Who gave Brown the courage to do the same domineering celebration move as LeBron James in Los Angeles?
During halftime, Brown responded to O'Neal in an interview, saying, "I'm a 'super center' with four championship rings. I don't know why Shaq, who has never proven himself since leaving Kobe, is qualified to comment on me."

After a pause, Brown added, "I'm not sure if Shaq will understand what I mean, so when you're relaying this to Shaq, please keep it simple and tell him directly, does he even deserve to judge me?"

Do you have the right to judge me?

In the TNT studio, the moment O'Neal learned of Brown's response to his statement, Barkley and Smith noticed...
This great white shark, known for its pettiness, was almost instantly engulfed in a flame of rage.

"Shaq, there's no need to bother with someone like Kwame."

Inside the studio, Barkley and Smith quickly comforted O'Neal.

However, would such comforting words really stop O'Neal from getting angry?
O'Neal never imagined that even someone like Brown could ride roughshod over him and attack him head-on.

Furthermore, what O'Neal didn't expect was that after halftime, Brown, who was being interviewed by the host on behalf of the Warriors, would deliver another blow to him.

"I forgot to mention earlier, if I remember correctly, Shaq hasn't beaten me even once since he left the Lakers, right?"

O'Neal: "."

I fucking swear!

Did I not beat you?
Every time I play against the Warriors, isn't it Qin Yue guarding me? What does it have to do with you, you bastard?

Okay, it seems there really is a connection.

Even if Brown was just hiding behind Qin Yue, relying on his master's power...
After leaving the Lakers, O'Neal never beat Brown even once.

"I think my head-to-head record with Shaq is enough to prove that I was just born a little later than him, otherwise the so-called Shaq era would never have existed."

O'Neal: "."

"Especially in the Finals that year, Shaq never scored more than double digits in front of me."

O'Neal: "." He's broken down.

That completely broke their defenses.

With Brown relentlessly attacking, O'Neal must be feeling worse than if he'd eaten shit.

On the court, the Warriors, who were leading by 9 points going into the second half, were finally seeing the sunrise.

At Staples Center, the Warriors' offensive possession.

He feigns accelerating while holding the ball, but actually dribbles back and retreats.

On the left wing, Qin Yue, having fooled Pau Gasol, immediately launched a three-pointer.

Then, in the next round, they were in the same position again.

Qin Yue, with a swift and decisive pull-up jumper, forced the Lakers to call a timeout with two consecutive three-pointers he hit at the start of the second half.

What kind of Qin Yue is the most terrifying Qin Yue?

Of course, it's Qin Yue who can score three points.

Although the new GOAT's three-point shooting ability is much stronger than the old GOAT.

However, since the new GOAT's three-point shooting has always been known for its inconsistency, on nights when Qin Yue's three-pointers were off, the defense could at least limit him somewhat by actively retreating on defense.

But once Qin Yue finds his three-point shooting touch on the court...
That means the new GOAT's danger level in the game will increase exponentially.

In the third quarter, amidst the increasingly loud groans of the Lakers fans, Qin Yue scored a total of 24 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Warriors.

"We're really strong!"

On the Warriors' bench, Brown, who combined with Qin Yue for 26 points in the third quarter, boasted during the break: "I told you long ago, the Gasol brothers are nothing compared to our bond."

indeed.

如果只看数据，截止前三节比赛，总计拿到了34分17篮板6助攻2封盖的加索尔兄弟，的确远远比不上已经联手拿到了50分20篮板10助攻4封盖3抢断的秦布组合。

just
Regarding Brown's shameless and shameless attempt to piggyback on the situation, Ben Wallace commented: "According to his logic, wouldn't that mean I also beat up the Gasol brothers?"

Beside him, Dunleavy Jr. said, "So that's what makes Kwame so amazing. You know, he's always been shameless when it comes to shamelessness."

Why bother with a sense of shame when playing in a commercial league?
If someone in later generations can be compared to Michael Jordan based on years of service, then why can't Kwame Brown, who also has four championships, claim to be a more dominant super center than Shaq?

Qin Yue noticed that Brown was noticeably more active that night than before.

As for the reason?

Naturally, this is because Brown was the punching bag almost every night during his matches against the Gasol brothers.

Only this match.

Brown not only put up a relatively respectable stat sheet compared to his previous three games, but he also found a way to vent his frustration off the court.

The final score was 120 to 110.

Thanks to the lead Qin Yue established for the team in the third quarter, the Warriors successfully won their crucial Game 4 against the Lakers.

不过赛后，为勇士砍下51分17篮板12助攻4封盖3抢断的秦岳却不是焦点。

What exactly stole the light that should have belonged to the sun?

The answer, of course, is the interaction between Brown and O'Neal from afar.

"Shaq said I'm just a Chihuahua that only knows how to hide behind the Messiah and beg for mercy?"

At the press conference, Brown, upon learning that O'Neal was once again making sarcastic remarks about him, said dismissively, "He's only been retired for a short time, how come Shaq has completely forgotten our matchup stats?"

I might not be able to beat them in a ball game.

But in the matter of arguing
Brown, who had never suffered a loss before, completely opened O'Neal's eyes.

Especially when Brown told reporters that he used to avoid playing against him because of his "intelligent foot injury," O'Neal couldn't understand how someone could be so shameless.

“I know that Shaq has always been jealous of my talent.”

And at the end of the interview, Brown confidently stated, "However, no matter how jealous he is of me, it doesn't change the fact that he was incredibly afraid of me back then."

I'm so jealous of your mother's ass!
Was I afraid of you back then?
In the TNT studio, this was definitely the episode where O'Neal most wanted to hire someone to kill someone.

Don't ask, the answer is simple: if Shaq could tolerate being humiliated by someone like Brown, he wouldn't be a man!
"I'm going to kill him! I must kill him!"
