Chapter 66 Peak Showdown (1.3 words long chapter, extra chapter for NuH!)
"It is an incredible feeling. It cannot be described in words, but it is real. Whenever I enter that state, I will feel that everything around me seems to slow down, whether it is the movements of the defensive players or the running positions of my teammates. And the most incredible thing is that when I talked about this state with 'Doc' and others, they all had entered this state before. It's just that each of us has a different view on it. So I decided to call this state 'The Zone'. Maybe with our current technology and cognition, we can't get a glimpse of the true appearance of this state, but I believe that those excellent latecomers among us will be able to restore its roots, find its laws and explore its essence." - Michael Jordan, the God of Basketball.

I have to say that Xiao Baga was successful.

Because of Qin Yue's previous life, Xiao Baga successfully used a superpower comic to make many young people mistakenly believe that the so-called "Zone" was a superpower created by Xiao Baga.

To the extent that, whenever someone mentions "Zone" later, these young people will preconceivedly associate it with superpower basketball.

But in fact, as early as the 20s and 80s, the concept of "The.Zone" was confirmed by many NBA stars, and was carried forward by NBA trainers and promoted to various sports fields.

Since then, studying how to help different types of athletes enter "The.Zone" has become a compulsory course for many sports psychology experts.

Staples Center, the top stadium with a great reputation in the basketball world, the Golden State Warriors officially ushered in their third game of the 05/06 regular season.

Previously, when people talked about the Warriors without Qin Yue, they always called them a team that couldn't be worse.

But in fact, the Lakers in the 05/06 season.
If you remove Kobe and Odom, you will find that the Lakers are even more corrupt than the Warriors.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if you force Warriors general manager Chris Mullin to the negotiating table, even if you point a gun at God's left hand, Mullin will not agree to even a deal with the Lakers.

Because the Lakers' starting center Chris Mihm, starting forward Brian Cook, and key substitutes Devin George, Luke Walton, and Sasha Vujacic are basically given to the Warriors for free, and they are scumbags that the Warriors don't want to take over.

But in history, the Lakers have a group of players that even the Warriors don't like, even Dunleavy Jr. is enough to replace half of the team's lineup.
Kobe led them to the playoffs.

In the summer of 2005, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson officially returned to the Lakers and reached a private agreement with Kobe at the beginning of his return.

This time, Jackson will not criticize Kobe's shot selection in any public occasion and remain silent on all of Kobe's on-court decisions.

Although at the beginning of his return, people found that the "Zen Master" seemed to be more silent than before.

But such silence
This is definitely not a good thing for the Lakers.

because it means
The Lakers have officially entered their darkest moment, which even Kobe Bryant may not be able to save even if he gives his full power.

Now Jackson needs Kobe to dominate the offensive end more than ever with his non-stop offense and unlimited firing rights to fill the emptiness in his heart.

The Lakers need to turn things around.

Since they can't revive by playing badly, they have to pretend to be a team that can still win but is just missing the championship piece.

Because only in this way can they give Mitch Kupchak some operating space in the future.

On the court, after the entrance ceremony, the big screen immediately showed the starting lineups of the visiting Warriors and the home Lakers.

On the Warriors side, there are Brown, Qin Yue, Pietrus, Richardson, and Davis.

On the Lakers side, there are Mihm, Odom, Cook, Kobe, and Fisher.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, Brown undoubtedly got the Warriors the first attack opportunity.

Qin Yue took the initiative to bring Odom to the top of the arc to cooperate with the first generation bearded man in hand-to-hand play.

Even though it sounds despairing
But Odom is indeed one of the few players that the Lakers can trust on defense.

At the top of the arc, Davis, who has had a lot of experience in cooperating with Qin Yue recently, did not launch an attack blindly.

Although Davis also believed that if he pressed the nitrogen acceleration button at this moment, Fisher, who had grown from a small fish to an old fish, would only deserve to eat his exhaust gas, but in that case.
If he plays a few more rounds, he will have to go back to the sidelines to recharge.

After all, this is a confrontation at the NBA level.

Only low-energy and high-efficiency offense is the right way.

So, the ball was given to Qin Yue. Davis ran two steps along the right side of the court. As the Lakers' overall defense was disrupted by Qin Yue's one-two move, Mim, who did not want to play under Kobe's glare, was forced to expand his defense area.

At the same time, a ghostly passing route instantly formed in Qin Yue's mind.

From before the game until now, Qin Yue has been entangled in that strange feeling. He always feels that his reaction, prediction and observation tonight seem to be faster than usual.

For example, now, Brown just started, and the next second, his pass led him to an excellent opportunity to attack the basket in the middle.

Under the basket, Mim and Odom had no time to turn around, and under the guidance of Qin Yue's pass, Brown received the ball and made a layup.

After scoring the goal, Brown looked surprised.

Brown has scored many similar goals since entering the NBA.

But those goals were different from the one just now.

When Brown got up from the ball, he felt like he was back in high school.
At that moment, Brown felt as if his body, which had been suppressed for a long time, was awakened.

Brown believed that even if Mim and Odom had been able to return to defense, he could still score the ball.

Because of Qin Yue's pass.
It has already set his pace.

Coming back, the Lakers have the ball.

Facing Pietrus, Kobe, who was becoming more and more focused, got the ball more easily and then made a jump shot from the outside with great ease.

This is one of Kobe Bryant's best scoring methods, deadly and simple.

The "French Jordan" with outstanding physical fitness has always been better at defending the opponent's breakthroughs.

Once he encounters Kobe and Anthony who are in hot form in the game, he will be helpless.

Next, it's the Warriors' offensive turn.

Seeing that Odom failed to block Qin Yue's route into the low post, Davis passed the ball in time.

However, Mim, who always remembered the few teachings of the "Zen Master" before the game, attacked Qin Yue at the first opportunity.

Jackson coached O'Neal, and he always knew how to protect his own restricted area.

Therefore, Odom's previous negative attitude was obviously bait.

It was a trap to lure Qin Yue into the low post, then double-team him, forcing him to make mistakes or passively transfer the ball, delaying the Warriors' offensive time.

But on the field, when Mim pounced on Qin Yue
The basketball in Qin Yue's hand whizzed past his ear first.

The next second, Mim turned around quickly, but the
Richardson was already in the air.

Above the sky, the dunk king, who had been reflecting on himself recently, received the ball and violently slammed it into the basket.

Although I still don’t know how to integrate into the Warriors’ new system.

But since Richardson played for the Spartans
Then cooperate with Qin Yue in the way Coach Izzo once taught you!

"Run, Jason! Stop thinking about your fancy street basketball moves all day long. You have to run with the basketball to create opportunities for you and your teammates!"

At this moment, recalling Tom Izzo, the grumpy but somewhat lovable old man, Richardson suddenly roared after the dunk! (Note ①)

He has won March Madness.

I also won March Madness.

So, since he didn't know how to integrate into the new Warriors, Richardson simply chose the simplest and most direct method.

Treat the NBA like college basketball!

On the sidelines, Montgomery was confused as he watched the Warriors' two wonderful passes and cuts at the beginning of tonight's game.

Because as the head coach of this Warriors team, he didn't even know who arranged this tactic.

Is this what is called
Will talented players always create chemistry on their own?

Next, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Fisher, who felt the ball was too hot, chose to hold Kobe's thigh tightly after completing the assigned dribbling task.

This time, facing the more ferocious defense of Pietrus, Kobe shook smartly in the triple-threat state, and then, he pretended to dribble and turned around, immediately showing the world how flexible his waist was.

Kobe twisted his body forcefully and completed a turnaround jump shot on the other side.

CCTV, seeing this scene. Even though he wanted to control his heart that was cheering for Kobe, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but say: "Wow, Kobe's shot was really difficult!"

Swish-!
On the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, Kobe's two attacks after the opening also made Ellis, the ultimate die-hard fan, fascinated.

"See, you damn bastard, this is my idol!"

Moreover, when Qin Yue happened to pass by the Lakers bench, Ellis did not forget to yell at Qin Yue.

However.
What Ellis didn't know was that at this moment, Qin Yue couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

In fact, let alone Ellis.
Even a few minutes ago, Qin Yue did not hear the prompt sound from the [Mountain Top] system.

"It has been detected that the host's on-the-spot status is breaking the critical point, and the host is being updated with the host's current combat capabilities in a timely manner.

The system is calculating.
Ding! According to the actual combat algorithm calculation, the host's current ability value score under the actual combat algorithm has been updated to 90 to 93. "

"Please note that while the host's on-site status is at its peak, the system is temporarily unable to calculate the specific scores of the host's various attributes in real time. Therefore, the host's score under the actual combat algorithm is for reference only."

On the court, the Warriors have the ball.

Pietrus, who had an open shooting opportunity under Qin Yue's cover, missed the jump shot.

In addition to his ball-handling ability, his shooting stability after catching the ball is also a shortcoming of Pietrus.

However, Qin Yue grabbed the offensive rebound over Mim's head.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yue slammed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

On the side, watching Qin Yue's series of smooth movements.
At a certain moment, Kobe couldn't help but think of the bastard's back.

But immediately, Kobe focused his attention on the game.

Swish-!
In the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe once again knocked down Pietrus on the wing.

At this time, Jackson on the sidelines had noticed Kobe's state that was completely different from usual.

Although the "Zen Master" is indeed an NBA head coach with many flaws.

But please don't doubt his grasp of the on-the-spot status of superstars, as he has worked with Jordan, O'Neal and Kobe.

For a long time, Jackson's luxury team has always had a member named George Mumford.

As a reformed drug addict, after the concept of "The.Zone" was proposed, Mumford, a master of psychology, has helped many NBA superstars enter this state.

Therefore, Jackson is definitely the head coach in today's league who best understands how much impact a superstar can have on a game.

So, after giving Fisher a hint with his eyes, Jackson also watched Kobe's next performance with great interest.

Swish-!
Swish-!
Swish-!
Tonight, facing Kobe's unpredictable one-on-one skills, Pietrus has completely lost his confidence.

For the fourth goal, Kobe first dribbled and turned around to create distance between himself and him. Then, when he tried to catch up, Kobe suddenly twisted on the spot and shot the basketball into the basket.

Then the fifth ball, the sixth ball
No matter how hard Pietrus tried, Kobe would always be able to score the ball in an unexpected way in the next second.

At the Staples Center, when the first quarter entered an official timeout, people didn't even realize that the quarter was already halfway through.

On the Warriors bench, Richardson took the initiative to say, "Let me guard Kobe Bryant instead," as he watched Pietrus' spirit gradually decline and his pupils dim.

Hearing this, Qin Yue immediately turned his gaze to this marginal player who had played against the Warriors in the previous two games.

"I can't guarantee that I can defend Kobe, but I can guarantee that for every goal Kobe makes next, I will make him pay the price accordingly," Richardson said firmly.

Seeing this, head coach Montgomery also called up Dunleavy Jr.

Because since we decided to use Richardson to defend Kobe.
Then the Warriors obviously have no need to keep Pietrus on the court.

The small forward for this Lakers team is Brian Cook.

Even little Dunleavy can handle it easily.

After the official timeout, the game continued.

Although Richardson still failed to stop Kobe from scoring 25 points in the first quarter alone tonight, under his hard defense, even the "Zen Master" who wished Kobe could play the full 48 minutes in every game, took Kobe off the court at the beginning of the second quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the scoreboard showed 35 to 34.

During the intermission of CCTV, Zhang Weiping complained: "Kobe was in great form tonight, but the Lakers fell behind in the first quarter."

On the side, Sun Zhengping said: "In the first quarter tonight, the other Lakers players and Kobe scored 34 points together. In fact, from a performance point of view, it is still commendable."

Zhang Weiping: “.”

Then, when commenting on the Warriors' performance, Zhang Weiping said: "Qin Yue really gave us a refreshing feeling today. Under his leadership, the Warriors actually turned the tables at the Staples Center."

首节比赛，秦岳总计拿到了8分5篮板6助攻1封盖1抢断。

On the court, the Warriors' offense basically revolves around him.

Although he did not score as many points as Kobe, the Warriors team showed excellent competitive form under his leadership.

In the second quarter, Ellis, who replaced Kobe, led the Lakers' substitute players to an 8-0 run on the court, and Qin Yue was immediately re-arranged by coach Montgomery.

When he came on the court, looking at Ellis who was still roaring at him, Qin Yue asked curiously, "What was he saying just now?"

Seeing this, Jack, who didn't want to distract Qin Yue, said, "Who cares what he says? We just have to play well."

On the court, after Qin Yue returned to the court, the Warriors had the ball.

Murphy took the initiative to move up to the highest position to form a wall for Qin Yue. After the wall was removed, Qin Yue, who wanted to pass the ball to Murphy, suddenly felt that everything around him seemed to slow down.

So, Qin Yue changed his mind immediately and dribbled the ball directly between Turiaf and Walton.

At this moment, he is like a butterfly flying among flowers.

But the next second, he took off and walked in the air.
Stunned the home fans at the Staples Center.

Coming back, the Lakers attack.

Ellis, who has always believed that his fate is his own, plans to eat Jack alive.

Seeing this, Jack simply put Ellis into the restricted area.

Because there, Jack knew it well.
Qin Yue, who is in excellent condition tonight, will definitely be able to stop Ellis!
as predicted.

Even though Ellis noticed Qin Yue when he was getting up for a layup and was ready to tease Qin Yue with a mid-air turn layup, when he completed the turn in the air, he was surprised to find
Qin Yue is still above the sky!
Snapped--!
On the court, at this moment, only God knew how much damage Qin Yue's slap had brought to Ellis's young heart.

On the Lakers bench, Kobe couldn't sit still.

Because as a person who has been through this, he always felt that Qin Yue tonight had entered the same state as him.

But on the court, the Lakers' offense was not over yet.

Walton, who has a very high basketball IQ, took control of the second landing point first, found the right time, deceived Qin Yue with the rhythm, and tried to score for the Lakers with a layup.

However.
Just when Walton thought he had the layup in his grasp.
Snapped--!
After Qin Yue jumped continuously, he blocked the shot again!
Then, Turiaf followed up and looked at the basketball in his hands, and rushed forward without hesitation.

Snapped--!
At the Staples Center, the Messiah of the Warriors, the overlord known to the world, has blocked three shots in a row, announcing a no-fly zone in Los Angeles tonight!
On the court, the Lakers' offensive time ended at the same time.

In this attack, the Lakers committed a 24-second violation.

On the sidelines, led by Davis, the Warriors' bench went completely crazy.

Is this guy still fucking human?

He is alone
Just defended against the continuous attacks of three Lakers players!
At this moment, Kobe, who had observed Qin Yue on site last year, was also shocked by Qin Yue's performance tonight.

Kobe knew it.
In his eyes at that time, Qin Yue was just a player with great talent and potential to be the top pick.

"Let me take over, Phil."

A minute later, with the help of a dead ball, Jackson sent Kobe back onto the court.

With Kobe's return to the game, the Lakers fans, who were still shocked by Qin Yue's talent, immediately shouted MVP for Kobe.

In this quarter, Kobe's touch was still hot.

But Qin Yue was equally unstoppable.

On the court, in the Lakers' offensive round, after creating space with light footsteps, Kobe shot with a fade away despite Richardson's defense.

Then, the Warriors had the ball, and Jack successfully found Qin Yue who was running the pick-and-roll.

In the Lakers' penalty area, facing Mim who came to assist in defense, Qin Yue easily made a layup.

On the court, after a few more rounds, CCTV, looking at Zhang Weiping who had been saying that it was exciting tonight, Sun Zhengping said: "Hey Coach Zhang, Qin Yue seems to have a chance to get a triple-double in the first half today."

Hearing this, Zhang Weiping immediately turned his attention to Qin Yue's technical statistics:
——16分、8篮板、7助攻、4封盖、1抢断。

Compared to twenty years later, a triple-double during this period would still be a very rare achievement.

Tonight's Qin Yue is exactly like the "Joker" Nikola Jokic who will be famous all over the world in the future.

With him as the core, the Warriors can always find defensive loopholes in the Lakers on the court.

In the second quarter, the Warriors' offensive round.

After pretending to pass the ball to his teammates, Qin Yue suddenly took the ball and turned to rush to the basket.

This time, Odom and Mim's return to defense was quick enough, but facing the double-team of the Lakers' inside line, Qin Yue threw the ball into the basket one step ahead.

On the court, Kwame Brown once again got the chance to show his talent.

Bang-dang——!
At the Staples Center, Brown, who was pulling the basket to the point of collapse, even felt like...
He is like Shaquille O'Neal!

Is basketball such a simple sport?
However, Brown didn't wait for long to be happy.
Kobe then mounted his horse and charged towards the Warriors' defense with a gun in hand.

Swish-!
Outside the three-point line, Kobe dribbled the ball past Richardson and shot!

"Oh my God, Kobe has already scored 37 points before the first half is over?" Charles Barkley, who was broadcasting another game on TNT, learned about the Lakers vs. Warriors matchup.
Barkley really wanted to rush backstage and beat up the top executives of TNT TV station.

Not
Why don't we broadcast the Lakers-Warriors game?

Why are we broadcasting the game between the Cavaliers and the Nuggets?

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony.
Can they be as exciting as the match between Qin Yue and Kobe?
On the side, Smith had the same feeling at this moment.

Especially after the halftime report of the Warriors and Lakers was sent back from Staples Center.
At the end of the first half, the score was 67 to 67.

Kobe scored 41 points for the Lakers in the first half.

秦岳则是拿到了19分、10个篮板、10次助攻、4次封盖、1次抢断。

On one side was Kobe Bryant who scored 40+ in the first half.

On one side was the Warriors Messiah who had a triple-double in the first half.

"Can anyone tell me what's so interesting about the game between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony?" During the halftime break, Barkley's roar resounded throughout the building.

"Actually, both LeBron and Cameron played well in this game. LeBron scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half, while Cameron scored 17 points and 5 rebounds." Smith quickly comforted Barkley.

But upon hearing this, Barkley became anxious.

Because can we just brush it off just because James and Anthony performed well?
Do you know that there is a fight between gods next door?

But we are broadcasting a mediocre regular season!
The one next door, that's
A match that is likely to go down in history!

Staples Center, during the halftime break, looking at Qin Yue who no one dared to disturb in the locker room, Jack noticed that compared with the first two games
Qin Yue has been bringing this group of warriors together bit by bit.

Maybe Kobe is in great form tonight.

But in Jack's opinion
In other words, in the eyes of all the Warriors players, as long as they follow Qin Yue's footsteps closely, even Kobe is not as scary as everyone imagines.

In the locker room, Pietrus, who had gradually recovered, was discussing his experience in defending Kobe with Richardson.

Murphy and Dunleavy Jr. were discussing how to make good use of Qin Yue's pick-and-roll on the court.

There is also Brown, who is meditating with a basketball, trying to get rid of his buttery hands.

Maybe the regular season ahead will be long.

But the Warriors are ready to make a big splash.

After the halftime break, the game continued.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe tried a three-pointer from the outside.

This three-pointer made the Warriors fans in front of the TV break out in cold sweats.

Fortunately, the basketball bounced out of the rim and the rebound was grabbed by Qin Yue.

Next, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Compared to the first half, the Lakers clearly adjusted their defensive arrangement.

At the suggestion of assistant coach Brian Shaw, the Lakers increased their defensive aggressiveness, especially their pick-and-roll defense, and let Odom defend Qin Yue alone, instead of double-teaming him whenever he had the chance.

This is a moment that tests Qin Yue's ability to overcome difficulties.

The Warriors players on the court also responded to the Lakers with their firm attitude.

Richardson and Pietrus immediately stood in the left bottom corner and the 45-degree angle on the left.

Brown also pulled to the same side the next second.

Next, after the first generation of Mr. Beard passed the ball to Qin Yue himself,
At this moment, even fans who don't watch basketball games often can understand the Warriors' tactics.

Because this is the most classic basketball game.
The one and four start apart, playing singles in the first half of the court.

On the court, Odom, who can keep up with Qin Yue in terms of speed and flexibility, keeps his center of gravity low enough when defending.

As one of the few Lakers teammates Kobe can trust, Odom fully demonstrated his defensive ability in serious mode in this defense.

However, after creating space with a crossover, Qin Yue still completed the shot in front of Odom.

Swish-!
The next second, Qin Yue made a jump shot, and everyone in the audience was shocked.

CCTV's Zhang Weiping commented on this: "Odom's defense has been pushed to the limit. But this is Qin Yue's characteristic and his strength. As long as he is accurate enough, you can't do anything to him!"

On the side, Sun Zhengping echoed: "In this summer's Asian Championships, our famous basketball player Qin Yue has demonstrated this high-level individual ball-holding offense to us many times."

At this moment, Odom was desperate. But he did not receive Kobe's death stare because of this defensive failure. Instead, when he turned around, he saw Kobe smiling at him.

"Good defense, Lamar."

Then the Lakers attacked.

Brian Cook, who thought Kobe was going to play one-on-one again, was even ready to retreat after Kobe shot, but the next second, who would have thought that the basketball would somehow come into his hands.

At this time, Cook was in an absolutely open position with no one guarding him.

But because he was not prepared, Cook could only pass the ball back to Kobe.

Seeing this, Coach Zhang couldn't help but complain: "What is Cook doing?"

In fact, Cook didn't know what he was doing.

At that moment, he felt that he was so flustered that he was not even as good as a high school player.

However, Cook still did not receive Kobe's death stare.

And, after patiently reorganizing on the perimeter, Kobe successfully found another teammate, Mim.

Although this season, Mihm was called "the worst starting center in Lakers history" by the Los Angeles Times.

But Mihm is indeed an inside player who can occasionally shoot from mid-range.

Kobe's pass was spot-on, and Mim had plenty of time to adjust.

Swish-!
If you want to ask what is the biggest difference between Kobe before and after the Eagle County incident.
That is probably that, starting from the 05/06 season, Kobe, who has completely walked out of the shadow of the Eagle County incident, will continue to learn and grow into a true leader.

The same is true for Qin Yue, who is learning how to play the role of the Warriors boss.

At this moment, Kobe is also taking the step towards transforming into a team leader.

"In fact, Kobe often passed the ball to us in that season (05/06), which made us feel needed by Kobe. We all knew that he was a natural scorer, but that didn't mean we didn't need his help. It felt really great to execute offense with him." - Brian Cook's memoirs.

Perhaps, in the short term, Kobe will not be able to bring the entire Lakers team together.

But what is different from the past is that in getting along with Kobe, Kobe's teammates will not only feel Kobe's changes from the bottom of their hearts,
And the most incredible thing is that the stingy Kobe in the past would actually give them various gifts in private as a token of his friendship.

On the court, while retreating, Kobe patted Cook on the back and said gently, "Be ready, Brian. Aren't you very confident in your open three-pointers?"

Hearing this, Cook nodded immediately.

The third quarter of the game.
Staples Center fans quietly discovered
Qin Yue and Kobe seemed to have exchanged souls.

The former took on more offensive responsibilities in the third quarter.

The latter, on the other hand, is leading the Lakers forward through assists one after another.

At this time, on the sidelines, on the Lakers bench, Jackson also turned his gaze to Qin Yue.

Jackson, who knows Kobe's character well, is clear
Although Kobe is gradually changing after experiencing the Eagle County incident.

But in this game, Kobe made a temporary adjustment to his playing style.
"Kobe has realized that we can't beat our opponent tonight by himself."

[It's incredible. Even though we're not doing well recently, the Warriors were a terrible team last season, but after just one season, the addition of a rookie has made such a big change for them.]

At this moment, Jackson thought so.

On the court, with Odom's strenuous defense, Qin Yue successfully put the basketball into the basket and also caused Odom to foul.

This was an undisputed two-plus-one.

Before the game, Ellis, who wanted to avenge Kobe, had already felt the huge and irreversible gap between him and Qin Yue at that moment.

But the next second, Ellis clenched his fist and said to himself: "No matter who you are, I won't allow you to insult my idol!"

At the Staples Center, Qin Yue made the free throw and scored his 13th point in the third quarter.

"Brian, it looks like Lamar is no match for Qin Yue." On the sidelines, after Qin Yue made the free throw, Jackson turned to his assistant coach Brian Shaw and said.

Hearing this, Xiao nodded and said, "Qin's condition tonight was a little too good. I have studied his game videos before. It is reasonable that Lamar would not be completely unable to fight back in front of him.
But, Phil, have you noticed that compared to the first half, Qin's physical strength is rapidly declining. "

The experienced Jackson certainly noticed Qin Yue's visible fatigue.

Otherwise, how could he be so determined?
Send Odom to Qin Yue to be beaten up?

At the same time, Dunleavy, who also noticed that Qin Yue's physical strength was declining sharply, reminded Warriors head coach Montgomery on the sidelines: "Coach, I think we need to apply for a timeout."

Seeing this, Montgomery, who had not yet reacted, said: "Why? Aren't we leading now?"

After taking a deep breath, Dunleavy Jr. said, "But if we continue playing like this, Qin won't have enough energy to help us win the game in the fourth quarter."

At this moment, Montgomery suddenly realized and immediately walked quickly to the technical desk.

In the Warriors' next offensive round, as Montgomery requested a timeout, everyone turned their attention to Qin Yue, who was already showing signs of fatigue.

"Shaq once said, 'I don't understand his difficulties.'" Kobe, who has returned to the Lakers bench, talked about the past with Ellis.

"What's the difficulty?"

"Shaq always told me that being big is hard."

"Why. Big has big difficulties? I don't understand, Boss."

"In basketball, the taller the players are, the higher the energy consumption load they have to bear.

Qin is 6 feet 11 inches tall. I admit that he is really good, but he can play like a guard, and the load he has to bear in the game must be far beyond our imagination. "

Davis, who was watching Qin Yue from the Warriors bench and knew that the Warriors had to rely on him to win this game, said, "Derrick Fisher is not my opponent. Even though I kept passing the ball today, I actually wanted to single him out a long time ago. Next, give me the ball."

Although the original Mr. Beard would never lack confidence.

But it's a pity
Kobe tonight was indeed not an opponent he could defeat.

So before the fourth quarter, Davis knew that he had to help Qin Yue get enough rest time.

Qin Yue's precious physical energy must not be wasted at this moment.

So, after the timeout, the Warriors made substitutions.

Murphy goes up and Qin Yue goes down.

Before going on the court, Murphy pulled Brown and said, "I'm going to defend Chris Mihm. That guy doesn't have much offensive ability, and I can handle him completely.

But Lamar Odom is counting on you."

At this moment, Brown did not refuse Murphy's request for a switch.

Especially when he noticed the trusting look Murphy gave him.

This is the trust Kwame Brown has never received since entering the league.

On the court, the game continues.

As soon as he came on the court, Murphy completed a clever cover for the first generation Mr. Beard.

As a white inside player with a range beyond the three-point line and superb shooting skills, Murphy actually has a skill that has long been underestimated.

That is, he is an inside player who can pass the ball.

But most of the time, when Murphy gets the ball, he basically does the finishing work, so he lacks the opportunity to show himself.

But at the moment when Murphy and Davis completed the pick-and-roll, as the Lakers' inside line was emptied, Murphy, who got the ball, immediately found Brown who quickly ran to the basket.

Bang-dang——!
Under the basket, Brown got the ball and dunked it with both hands.

Next, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

Odom, who was almost out of breath due to Qin Yue's pressure, wanted to share the offensive pressure for Kobe, but he just used his speed to pass Brown.
On the back foot, when he was making a layup, Brown's handsome and tall body moved towards him.

Odom's layup failed due to Brown's strong interference.

By predicting the outcome, Murphy secured the backcourt rebound before Mim.

On the sidelines, Chris Mullin, who came to the Staples Center with the Warriors tonight, felt like he was watching a science fiction movie.

"Is this still the Warriors I remember?" Mullin asked, looking back at his assistant.

people.

Of course it’s still the same group of people.

But as the most complex individual in the world.
Every new day, as the body completes its self-renewal
You can never look at everyone's tomorrow through the eyes of yesterday.

At the Staples Center, Qin Yue's teammates held up this quarter.

The scoreboard showed 97 to 95.

After this quarter, Kobe's technical statistics had reached 51 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

秦岳则是32分、14篮板、11助攻、4封盖、2抢断。

In the final quarter, Jackson gave Kobe 4 minutes of rest time.

Montgomery, who had originally planned to replace Qin Yue in advance, was also dissuaded by the Warriors players.

"Qin's physique determines that his physical energy consumption rate will only be faster than Kobe's, so when the Lakers replace Kobe, we will replace Qin."

So, after the 4 minutes before the agonizing final quarter,
As the Lakers replaced Kobe.

The Warriors also brought back Qin Yue.

In the City of Angels Los Angeles
In this night when you finish singing and I take the stage, the most breathtaking moment.
Also arriving at the same time!

On the court, the Lakers have the ball.

After adjustments in the third quarter and a rest in the early fourth quarter, Kobe hit a three-pointer from the 45-degree angle on the left as soon as he came on the court, helping the Lakers to overtake the score.

Now, the Black Mamba's eyes are full of murderous intent.

Back to the Warriors' offensive round.

Qin Yue successfully fell into the low post, squeezed Odom away with his back, and forced the ball into the basket.

Facing the Lakers, Qin Yue quickly made his response.

Zhang Weiping, speaking from CCTV, swallowed his saliva and said: "This is really a tit-for-tat confrontation, a soldier versus a soldier, a general versus a general, a king versus a king!"

On the side, Sun Zhengping said: "Here is Kobe Bryant, Nezha making trouble in the sea and causing havoc in heaven, and over there is Qin Yue, the Overlord, lifting the tripod and pulling up the mountain. Let's see who will have the last laugh tonight between the Warriors and the Lakers!"

On the court, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

At the top of the arc, after signaling his teammates to move away, facing Richardson who kept increasing his intensity, Kobe dribbled the ball first to break through, then retreated.
Swish-!
Tonight, Kobe really kills gods and destroys Buddhas.

However, the Lakers fans were only happy for less than ten seconds, as Qin Yue responded again with a quick stop and jump shot while dribbling.

There is no doubt that the final moments of tonight's star players' duel
This is the true essence of NBA!
On the court, in the Lakers' offensive round, after cutting into the restricted area with the ball, Kobe successfully found Odom who had been beaten.

The latter did not miss the opportunity this time and hit the rebound.

On the Warriors side, seeing that the timing of falling into the low post was not good, Qin Yue decisively pulled to the right to serve as a wall for Davis, and successfully deceived Odom after catching the ball from the outside.

Seeing this, Mim had no choice but to assist in defense.
But Brown, who had been prepared to receive the ball, received Qin Yue's pass and made a one-handed dunk the next second.

At the scene, watching the two sides going back and forth on the field, the home fans felt as if their hearts were being roasted in a frying pan.

Of course, the fans who are feeling the most uncomfortable at this moment are those who did not find the right time to solve their physiological problems before.

after all
At a time like this, who the hell dares to go to the toilet?

On the court, Kobe successfully broke the 4-point mark with 14 minutes and 60 seconds left in the game, successfully setting a new single-game scoring record in his personal career.

Qin Yue scored his 3st point of the game with 45 minutes and 41 seconds left in the game.

This is the first time Qin Yue has scored 40+ in his career.

But even on TNT, which had already switched its coverage to this game, no one cared about the bet between Barkley and Smith.

Because people just want to know who will win this ultimate showdown.

At the Staples Center, amid the expectant eyes of the home fans, Kobe once again gave the Lakers the lead with 1 minute and 45 seconds left in the game.

In the low post on the left side, with Richardson's defense completely unconcerned about whether to foul or not, Kobe made a silky fadeaway and changed the score for the Lakers to 124 to 125.

This was Kobe's 65th point in this game.

He is also setting a new career high in single-game scoring.

Coming back, the Warriors attacked. Under Jackson's instructions, Mim moved quickly and surrounded Qin Yue with Odom in the low post.

The experienced "Zen Master" restarted the double-attack tactics against Qin Yue in the final moments of the game.

Because Jackson, who has experienced countless such critical moments, knows better than anyone else.
The more times like this happen, the more you cannot give the opponent's star player the opportunity to kill you.

However, Jackson was surprised.
Even at this time, Qin Yue still remained calm and composed.

Is Qin Yue the kind of person who is born to handle big scenes?

The answer is obviously no.

But tonight he.
His brain is much clearer than usual.

On the court, facing the double-team of Odom and Mim, Qin Yue once again found his teammates with his ghostly pass.

In the middle, Dunleavy Jr., who was substituted in at the last moment, followed up with a layup.

Just now, under the double-team of Odom and Mim, Qin Yue found the only passing route.

Although it was very dangerous, it was the best solution in Qin Yue's eyes at the time.

On the court, looking at Qin Yue who had just passed the basketball from under his crotch, Odom always felt that the Warriors Messiah standing in front of him was exactly the same person he had imagined countless times in his mind.

Next, it was the Lakers' turn to attack.

After settling in a 2-3 formation, they successfully used a simplified triangle offense to give Kobe an opportunity to single out Richardson in the low post.

then
Richardson had officially reached his breaking point.

Because even if he held Kobe's waist with his hands, he couldn't stop Kobe from turning over and leaning back in the next second.

And what Richardson couldn't understand was
Why was Kobe able to throw the ball into the basket even though he lost his balance?
Is this reasonable?

This makes sense.

Because this is Kobe in the 05/06 season.

No need to break down, Jason.

Because next Kobe will use his scoring feast of only 40 points per game to make the perimeter defenders of the entire league collapse.

On the scoreboard, with Kobe's difficult turnaround fadeaway shot, the Lakers took the lead again, 126 to 127.

Now, it's the Warriors' turn to have the ball.

On the court, after dribbling across half court, Davis did not rush to feed the ball to Qin Yue, but signaled his teammates to open up the offensive space first to avoid mistakes.

Under the traffic guidance of the first generation Mr. Beard, Qin Yue formed a one-on-one situation with Odom on the left side of the court.

For this ball, neither Mim nor Cook dared to rashly assist in defense.

Therefore, Odom, who was highly expected by the whole village, had to face Qin Yue alone.

Boom, boom.

Controlling the attack time and observing Odom's defensive position, after noticing that his body center of gravity subconsciously took a step back, Qin Yue first accelerated and then slowed down, and then
Accelerate again and rush straight to the Lakers' penalty area!

Under the basket, in order to avoid a foul, Mim only made symbolic interference.

Qin Yuefei made a layup.

128 is better than 127!

At this time, the "Zen Master" on the sidelines still had no intention of requesting a timeout.

On the court, after Fisher dribbled across half court, there were only 43 seconds left in the game.

Although, on the right side of the court, before Kobe caught the ball, Richardson, who was pulling and dragging, had done everything he could.
but.
He still couldn't stop Kobe from catching the ball.

Moreover, at the moment when Kobe received the ball, no one expected that Kobe would just pull it out and throw it as soon as he caught it!

Swish-!
On the court, Kobe made his sixth three-pointer of the game and also scored his 6th point of the game.

70 points.
"Oh my God, this is a real 70 points!"

On the sidelines, when Montgomery requested a timeout, there were 36.8 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors have plenty of time to operate the next offensive round.

But when paused
The entire Warriors team, including the head coach, made a joint team decision to attack.

Because if the Warriors choose to attack, even if they fail to score, they still have a chance for one last attack.

It turned out that this team decision worked wonders.

After the timeout, as the Lakers focused all their attention on the Warriors' outside line, Dunleavy Jr. made a quick decision to cut into the Lakers' basket, and after receiving an assist from Davis, the score between the two teams was tied at 130-130.

The Warriors took less than 7 seconds to complete this attack.

Therefore, Kobe, knowing that the next offensive round would leave the Warriors with one last offensive opportunity regardless of whether the Lakers scored or not, did not rush to launch an attack after dribbling across half court.

On the court, Kobe took a deep breath while dribbling the ball patiently to kill time.

Then, after controlling the attack time to a point where you are relatively confident,
Kobe dribbled right past Richardson.

It was a dribbling breakthrough that left Richardson helpless.

Just by watching the replay, you can't really feel how much Kobe and Richardson played tricks on him before the dribble breakthrough.

So much so that when Kobe really accelerated, Richardson couldn't keep up with Kobe at all.

But fortunately, Davis moved in advance and stopped Kobe from moving forward.

However, as the Warriors' defense was completely disrupted.
But Kobe found Brian Cook, who was selectively left open because of the Warriors' defense switch, in a flash.

Although Cook did not appear in the original three-pointer position due to being too nervous before receiving the ball, a clean two-point jump shot after receiving the ball was enough to help the Lakers win in the final moments.

Swish-!
Of course, the premise is that the Lakers can hold on for the last 9 seconds.

At the Staples Center, Cook received a pass from Kobe and made a jump shot, 130 to 132.

In front of the technical table, amid the cheers of the home fans that resounded through the dome, the visiting Warriors requested their last timeout.

During this timeout, the Warriors head coach Montgomery mainly emphasized how to receive the ball.

On the Lakers side, Jackson emphasized that the Warriors must not be given the opportunity to shoot three-pointers.

After that anxious, boring and unbearable waiting time.
After the timeout, the Warriors threw the ball from the frontcourt sideline.

At this moment, Lakers fans in the entire stadium were shouting "Defense, defense".

The huge noise created by the home fans almost caused the Warriors players, who lacked experience in key rounds, to have an accident when serving the sideline ball.

just
Although Dunleavy Jr. finally succeeded in passing the ball to Richardson, it disrupted the Warriors' original tactical arrangement.

Seeing that Richardson couldn't launch an attack in the first place, Davis rushed forward and yelled, "Give me the damn ball!"

The next second, Richardson successfully passed the ball to Davis.

But as time went by, Davis was unable to find a passing route or an opportunity to attack under the double-team of Kobe and Fisher.

At this time, the first-generation bearded man, who glanced at Qin Yue on the other side from the corner of his eye, showed his decisive side.

After taking a deep breath, Davis swung the ball hard to the other side of the court while being double-teamed.

This was a very risky lateral pass.

Davis admitted that there was indeed an element of gambling involved.

But he's gambling.
Qin Yue, who is tall and has long arms, was able to use his static talent to catch the basketball and complete the shot before Odom!
At the Staples Center, when Kobe turned around, he happened to see Qin Yue embracing the moon with one arm in the air.

Then, Qin Yue, who had noticed that there was still time before receiving the ball,
He even used a fake shot to shake off Odom who was trying to block him.

At this moment, Qin Yue, with no distractions in his mind, jumped vertically and immediately made a three-pointer that instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Watching the basketball flying in the air
Qin Yue, who had previously discussed key ball experiences with Evans, did not have any flashbacks in his mind.

But I don’t know why.
When I just took action
He felt that the ball would definitely go in.

So Qin Yue thought of his celebration moves in his mind almost instantly.

Swish-!
The next second, as the ball went into the stopwatch, in the utterly silent Staples Center, although the joy of completing the buzzer beater was beyond Qin Yue's imagination, although his excited heart was likely to jump out of his chest at any time, although every cell in his body was trembling wildly, Qin Yue still suppressed his excited heart and the blood in his body that had begun to churn.
On the court, Qin Yue was seen putting his hands together, placing his hands to his ears and slightly tilting his head, and officially completing his finale with a "good night gesture"!

Golden State Warriors, No. 30 jersey, ended with a goodnight gesture after the buzzer beater.

In Qin Yue’s opinion, this is reasonable.

"Goodnight, Los Angeles!"
