Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 620 - 211: Breaking History! Sole Domination!
Qin Yue's performance in the first three quarters perfectly satisfied David Stern's fantasy of personal heroism.
When the final quarter began, noticing that Warriors coach Ma Long chose to let Qin Yue rest for a while, Stern, like an ordinary basketball fan, couldn't help but inwardly complain: "Does he really have to arrange for the Messiah to rest on such a great night?"
Fans from all over the world were also cursing Ma Long's ancestors at this moment.
And at the Oracle Arena...
After letting Qin Yue rest for a precious two minutes, Ma Long, under immense pressure, put the God of Basketball, who had already scored 75 points for the team, back on the court.
Ma Long knew very well that these two minutes of rest were necessary for Qin Yue.
Therefore, even if he would be criticized for it, Ma Long had to let Qin Yue rest before sending him back onto the court.
Meanwhile, on the Knicks' bench, James wished he could just sit until the game ended.
This was a night when James's mentality was utterly shattered by Qin Yue.
Even though James, who would turn twenty-six in a few days, still belongs to the category of young players.
But only James knows...
What kind of anxiety his age is bringing him.
This anxiety for James comes from Qin Yue, who just turned twenty-seven four days ago.
Because he is of similar age to Qin Yue...
This also means that James's peak period will perfectly overlap with Qin Yue's.
That's right, James is destined not to wait patiently for Qin Yue to age like Durant and other new-generation players.
Nor can he deceive himself year after year by saying he still needs time to grow.
Because Qin Yue's peak equals his peak, and Qin Yue's aging equals his aging...
This summer, to avoid being mediocre during Qin Yue's reign, James decided to take his talents to the more promising Knicks.
That night, if only looking at the game process, the Knicks indeed showed James hope for defeating Qin Yue.
But for James personally...
This might very well be a game that completely ends his competitive relationship with Qin Yue.
Although in the past several seasons, such a competitive relationship only existed conceptually.
After all, Qin Yue has long widened the gap between him and James in both individual and team honors.
But James always believed that as long as he could keep chasing, at least, he would still give people the impression that he is trying to compete with Qin Yue.
However...
After this night, if you must describe the metaphorical and elusive competitive relationship between James and Qin Yue in one sentence, it would probably be:
——It's already over!
On the court, the Warriors' offensive possession.
Facing a demoralized James with pupils devoid of light, after scoring a layup in the low post, Qin Yue actively consoled his opponent: "Brown, don't you always say you're an indomitable player?"
Enough!!! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Turning his gaze to Qin Yue and looking at his eternally superior face, James, who had had enough of being the stepping stone for the opponent, suddenly exploded: "Stop pretending to be a good guy in front of me! I've had enough of your hypocrisy!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue instantly fell silent.
Qin Yue knew very well that, at some point, his relationship with James could never return to what it was.
However...
Even so, he and James still maintained a superficial brotherly bond.
But now, James had actively pierced this facade because he was tired of being Qin Yue's stepping stone and of always being his background.
Still those words.
James's age, and the inevitable peak overlapping with Qin Yue, determined that if he wanted to achieve something in this era, he couldn't play the role of a challenger willingly in front of Qin Yue like the younger Durant.
James wanted to appear in front of Qin Yue as a competitor.
Moreover, he wanted to deliver a blow as the victor in this era dominated by Qin Yue.
The avenger James eagerly awaited the day he could pull Qin Yue from the throne.
But when Qin Yue scored again in front of him in this Christmas battle, no matter how sincerely Qin Yue's consolation was meant, it sounded so harsh to James, so heart-wrenching.
Because the 77th point Qin Yue just scored for the Warriors felt like a resounding slap, telling James:
——Do you think you qualify to be my rival?
Thus, James's defenses crumbled.
He roared, venting his emotions towards Qin Yue.
And tried to use this method to tell him, in the remaining life, he should never again talk to him from such a superior position.
But what James didn't know was...
After he personally tore off the protective film of "surface brothers," Qin Yue, who always adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally, was almost instantly provoked to kill by him.
"Is my only impression to you hypocrisy?" Qin Yue said to James, "Then from now on, I will show you my truest side!"
Back to the Knicks' offensive possession.
Harden actively called for a pick and roll from James.
Although Harden couldn't swap Nash to be in front of James through the pick and roll, it still provided James an opportunity to go one-on-one against Qin Yue at the top of the arc.
Seeing this, after receiving the ball, James moved twice, changed his pivot foot, and instantly moved from a triple-threat position at the top arc to the high right wing.
