Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 658 - 226: He’s Anxious, He’s Anxious Again, He’s Both Angry and Anxious (Two-in-One - !)_2

Also, isn't the Warriors using Jamison primarily for his offense?

What, do the Warriors expect Jamison to be both offensive and defensive?

On the court, in the first offensive play after the timeout ended, Qin Yue quickly directed the other Warriors players to clear the half-court for Jamison.

In a triple-threat position, Jamison, who often privately played one-on-one with James during his Knight career, used a jab step to shift James's center of gravity. Then, after dribbling right and taking a step across, he fooled the overly eager James and calmly hit a long two-point jump shot for the Warriors.

"Is this the defense that gets you on the All-Defensive Team?"

After scoring, Jamison, unable to control his emotions, yelled at James, "Stop deceiving people with your fairy tales, King in New Clothes!"

——King in New Clothes.

Running back to the Warriors' half-court, James's expression clearly showed agitation as Jamison's sharp taunts echoed in his ears.

James desperately needed an offensive play to shut Jamison up.

However, this play's protagonist for the Knicks wasn't James.

On the court, since James's movement successfully drew the Warriors' defense, on the flank, Westbrook, tasked with screening for Durant, quickly got open after a fast flare out.

Seeing this, Iguodala didn't hesitate, swiftly passing the ball to the wide-open Big Westbrook.

However, once Westbrook got the ball, it was as if the spirit of Balotelli possessed him.

When you think he's going to shoot, he fakes twice but nobody reacts to him.

When you think he's going to drive, the closest person to him is Nash, a good three meters away...

How is he supposed to drive?

By forcing his way into the crowd?

Before Qin Yue crossed over, Westbrook's career playoff three-point shooting percentage was below 30%.

And with that shooting percentage...

Most opponents would selectively leave him open, allowing him the space to take shots, accounting for that percentage.

Therefore, since in this play the Warriors' rotational defense could not keep up with the Knicks...

Choosing to leave Westbrook open naturally became the optimal solution for the Warriors players on the court.

The result...

After hesitating for two seconds on the perimeter, Big Westbrook shot the three-pointer.

Then, Qin Yue successfully added one more defensive rebound to his stats.

Next, Qin Yue took big strides while dribbling to spark a fast-break offense.

In the Knicks' half-court, Jamison, trusting in Qin Yue's defensive rebound ability, successfully enjoyed the benefit of sprinting for a fast break.

After receiving Qin Yue's wonderful bounce pass, Jamison scored a fierce two-pointer.

Turning around, with his eyes directly meeting the late-arriving James, Jamison, who could talk for days, said, "Haven't you always envied the Messiah's teammates? Listen up, that's the 4th point tonight from your former teammate who can't provide you any help!"

In the next play, still not satisfied, Jamison, after using Qin Yue's off-ball screen to get to the basket and draw Mozgov's second foul, continued to lay into James: "There are players who, as long as they are on the court, make their team a super team!"

After pausing, Jamison added, "And that's why your team will never be a super team! Because a sheep disguised as a lion will never lead a pride of lions!"

On the free-throw line, Lion Jamison made both free throws.

And noticing Big Z ready to replace Mozgov, Jamison couldn't help but also taunt Big Z: "You Lithuanian idiot! Hasn't all these years taught you what kind of player he really is?"

At that moment, Big Z was left speechless by Jamison's barrage.

And James?

Under Jamison's relentless jabs, James was thoroughly aggravated.

Knicks' offense.

Just past half-court, James actively reached out to Iguodala for the ball, determined to blow off steam by calling out Jamison for an isolation play.

However...

James's anger ultimately didn't flare up.

Because that ever-unpredictable Westbrook suddenly "intercepted" James, cutting off the pass Iguodala intended for James.

And in James's dumbfounded gaze, Big Westbrook said with a displeased look, "Damn, isn't someone going to come over and set a pick for me?"

Pic... pick?

Aren't you damn aware that I'm about to take out that bastard on the other side?

Can't deny...

Westbrook truly is James's natural nemesis.

Especially when, just as James reluctantly sets a screen for Big Westbrook and sees another chance to unleash his anger, only for it to be extinguished by him.

On the court, because as Westbrook violently accelerated, James also smartly cut into the Warriors team's paint.

So, as long as Big Westbrook presses the pass button...

With James's historically excellent physical gifts, he would undoubtedly finish with an aggressive response to Jamison.

Unfortunately, that scene didn't happen either.

Because after a dribble stop, Westbrook executed his signature zombie jump shot, sending the ball into the hoop.

"If you'd come over for the pick earlier, the offense would be over by now."

After scoring, Big Westbrook said unimpressively to James, "Brown, you need to be more selfless!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

More...

More selfless?

How the hell can I be more selfless?

This past season, I've been practically ready to kneel and serve you like a beast, what more do you want from me?
