Since this is the finals, the finals should have the intensity they deserve.

Sure enough, after Qin Yue's reminder, Harden, who was trying to draw a foul on Curry, handed the ball directly to Curry.

In Qin Yue's past life, Harden wasn't popular in either China or America for a long time, precisely because of his playstyle that focused on drawing fouls.

After all, fans pay to watch the game, wanting to see thrilling competition, not a contest on who can draw fouls better.

On the court, it's the Warriors' turn to attack.

The Warriors successfully executed the Flex strategy, with Qin Yue receiving the ball near the free-throw line.

Seeing this, to prevent Qin Yue from making a shot in time, Iguodala had to switch and defend with Howard.

However, this switch quickly resolved the Knicks' immediate crisis, but couldn't handle the ensuing violent breakthrough by the GOAT.

In the Knicks' defensive territory, Qin Yue, like the wind, drove through with a dazzling speed to finish a layup.

Right afterward, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

Love, who had intentionally executed a pick-and-roll with Howard first, successfully drew Qin Yue away from the interior.

Over the past couple of years, NBA teams have gradually reached a consensus when facing the Warriors.

That is, only by pulling Qin Yue away from the inside can the Warrior Forbidden Area no longer be a no-fly zone.

It must be said, just from this play alone, Love proved his worth to this Knicks team.

Because wanting to pull the GOAT away from the inside requires precision, strong tactical execution, and corresponding basketball IQ.

Outside, seeing Qin Yue leaving the interior, Durant, who was playing in a seemingly "smarter" way, quickly called for the ball and made a double-cross to get by Wallace.

As always.

In the NBA, playing simple basketball is never a derogatory term.

It's just that some players only know how to play simple basketball.

In the Warrior Forbidden Area, Durant hit a layup over Brown with a switch of hands.

This season was different from historical trends.

To ensure that NBA teams could find a way to limit Qin Yue's attacks, the league specially retained the rule allowing interior players to vertically jump when protecting the rim.

Therefore, even though Brown was showing signs of decline on both offense and defense...

In this era, the Warriors truly couldn't find a player to replace Brown in a short time.

On the court, the Warriors attacked.

After deeply feeling the Knicks' changes in the previous defensive round, Qin Yue felt again this round, the defensive system formed gradually by Knicks players compensating for each other.

Even though if you replaced D'Antoni with a defensive coach, the Knicks' defense might be better...

But it must be declared for this Knicks team...

When it comes to winning, every Knick on the court is willing to defend.

They always gather around Howard during defense, able to display a defensive level far surpassing most teams in the league today.

After all, the talent of this Knicks team is evident.

Even if there was just a dog tied to the coach's bench, Qin Yue wouldn't doubt that they could reach the finals. (D'Antoni: ?)

High on the left wing, to dismantle the Knicks' defensive system, Qin Yue actively called Curry over for a pick-and-roll during the attack.

Yes, you read that right.

Curry set a screen for Qin Yue.

And not Qin Yue for Curry. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

At that moment, don't ask.

Because if Curry was able to set screens for the likes of Kuminga in later generations, why can't Qin Yue use Curry as a tool guy occasionally?

On the high end, Harden, who was slightly lacking in screen navigation skills, made a mistake in a hurry, inadvertently causing trouble for Howard.

Because as long as Harden stood still, Howard could definitely manage to guard two players.

However, when Harden chose to advance and subsequently failed to navigate the screen, Howard was forced to press forward with him.

Then, Howard could only watch as Qin Yue dribbled past the defensive line he was guarding.

Fortunately, without the usual negative energy vibe always blaming teammates, knowing Harden was at least willing to defend, Howard didn't blame him this time.

Just there, in the Knicks' key area, at the moment Qin Yue made another layup and turned to retreat for defense...

When Qin Yue noticed Howard comforting Harden...

Qin Yue felt that this scene amusingly reversed the order of things.

Historically, if Qin Yue's memory serves correctly, it should be Howard doing whatever he wanted, regardless of Harden's attempts to coach.

Yet, Qin Yue didn't know that in the face of championship temptation...

Even Howard would change.

And although this finals had just begun...

This united Knicks team...

Had already unveiled the sharp sword they intended to use to put an end to the Warriors Dynasty.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley said: "In the past, people often said an outstanding player's performance cannot be captured by statistics."

In response, O'Neal followed up: "But now, it's proven a player overpackaged cannot have the damage they do quantified by stats either."

Barkley laughed: "Shaq, why can you always voice what I'm thinking in advance?"

O'Neal replied: "Because when you're about to mock LeBron, as a die-hard fan of LeBron, naturally I'll say something fair on his behalf."

On the court, the Knicks attacked.

At the moment when James was about to send lawsuits to Barkley and O'Neal...

Durant, ranked second on James' hit list, immediately showcased his performance for all the Knicks fans watching on TV, clearly in a higher state than others tonight.

Swish!

At a forty-five-degree angle on the right wing, Durant nailed a catch-and-shoot three-pointer over Wallace.

At this moment, the Reaper's scythe began to swing in the finals.

And as the master of Oracle Arena...

When the live close-up camera captured Qin Yue, people couldn't help but wonder...

How would the Bay Area's Messiah respond to his little brother who's unwilling to come in second three years in a row?
