Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 646 - 222: Everyone Admiring Qin, The Most Dominant! (Two-in-One - )_3
According to the schedule, the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Mavericks will continue at the American Airlines Center a day later.
Despite the first three games, the Mavericks led by Woodson were thoroughly impressed by Qin Yue's dominance on both offense and defense. But in the NBA, how could real Warriors choose to surrender just because of a strong opponent?
Before the fourth game, Woodson approached several Mavericks players for talks.
To Marion, Woodson said, "Sean, I know you've given everything in the games, but right now, you have to do even better for us to have a chance to defeat the Warriors."
To Chandler, Woodson provoked, "Tyson, do you want to just stand by and watch Kwame Brown, that stats padder, make it to the finals again?"
To Parker, Woodson encouraged, "Tony, I have no doubt you're the best point guard in the West today. You've always just needed a chance to prove yourself."
To Jason Kidd and other veterans, Woodson envisioned the future, "What do you think people will say about our championship journey this year if we beat the Warriors and win the title?"
And to Nowitzki, Woodson kicked this country boy from Würzburg and said, "Dirk, I know you didn't play well in the third game, but listen, even if you miss your first ten shots, the eleventh time you get the ball, you must shoot decisively. Understand? Shoot the ball!"
At the American Airlines Center, after the warm-up, the game officially started.
Warriors starting lineup: Qin Yue, Jamison, Wallace, Bell, Nash.
Mavericks starting lineup: Chandler, Nowitzki, Marion, Stevenson, Parker.
In the jump ball phase, Qin Yue narrowly defeated the furious Chandler.
Nash dribbled past half-court, the Warriors spread out, leaving Qin Yue at the top arc to do a pick and roll with Nash.
Seeing that Marion preemptively blocked his passing lane to Qin Yue, Nash decided to go it alone.
On the court, Nash made a perfect "riding and shooting" gesture during a stop and shot the basketball steadily into the hoop.
2 to 0.
This "riding and shooting" has always been Nash's specialty.
To this, the fans at the American Airlines Center are no strangers.
But on this night, which might decide the Mavericks' fate, as Nash scored, the home crowd gnashed their teeth in anger.
The Mavericks' turn to attack.
Not affected by his poor performance in the third game, Nowitzki caught Parker's drive and pass, faced Qin Yue's help defense, and "King Nowitzki's" shot brushed the net after drawing a beautiful high arc.
2 to 3.
Qin Yue's help defense on this play was at its limit.
Due to Qin Yue's help defense distance determining his jump position, he couldn't block Nowitzki's shot, thus any larger defensive scale would have resulted in a foul.
As everyone knows, in the NBA, except for future Curry's three-point shots without a cylinder, most NBA players enjoy the benefit of defenders fouling on shots.
Therefore, Nowitzki's successful shot left Qin Yue with nothing to say.
Next is the Warriors' possession.
Noticing Chandler always guarding Nowitzki's side, Qin Yue did not rush to clear the half-court for Jamison to go one-on-one against Nowitzki but signaled Wallace to first screen for Jamison on the right side of the court, then let him move to the opposite half to receive the ball.
Under Qin Yue's organization, Jamison smoothly executed a high-altitude left-wing catching break and layup.
As a short power forward, Jamison's biggest advantage is being faster than those taller than him.
Combined with Jamison's stable mid and long-range shooting, he inevitably becomes a hard-to-limit player in mismatch situations.
On TNT TV Station, watching Jamison shine in the Western Conference Finals, Barkley laughed, "Who would've thought that upon returning to Oakland, the soon-to-be 35-year-old Antoine is having a miraculous evolution?"
Over the previous three conference finals games, Jamison has averaged 21 points, making him the second-leading scorer for the Warriors after Qin Yue.
No doubt, delivering such outstanding performance in such critical games, Jamison is far from the so-called "CBA teammates."
In a past life, Qin Yue's understanding of Jamison was limited to his early career games where he exchanged 51 points with Kobe, and his "CBA teammates" tag with the Knights.
But in this life, after collaborating with the aging Jamison, Qin Yue felt that Jamison was simply born ten years too early.
Otherwise, with his technical characteristics, he would have achieved more in the future small-ball era.
Because, in addition to having the technical traits to be a top position four in the small-ball era on offense....
Jamison is also adept at scrambling for offensive rebounds and boxing out for defensive rebounds on defense.
Indeed, compared to his peak, Jamison is no longer at his prime.
But as Qin Yue's best frontline partner in the NBA...
Every time Jamison is put in the starting lineup, Qin Yue can't help but think about what kind of garbage players he previously had as frontline partners.
And on the Warriors bench, Brown, who was once again assigned by Ma Long to play as a substitute this evening, felt unprecedented pressure.
Because aside from protecting the rim, what Brown can do, Jamison can basically do.
