Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 680 - 234: What Kind of Champion Are You? (1st Update of 10,000 Words in 2 Consecutive Updates!)_2

What is the greatest characteristic of the Gasol Brothers?

Of course, it's that both brothers possess extremely strong organizational and facilitating abilities.

Especially after this pair of the strongest inside brother duo in history successively developed their three-point shooting ability...

Even in front of this "1+1 is absolutely greater than 2" brother combination, Qin Yue, a historically great defensive player, cannot manage to defend both of them at the same time.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley said, "This truly is a confrontation of spear against spear. Both the Lakers and the Warriors believe they have an advantage inside, and both teams quickly scored after the start using their inside combinations to their advantage."

The Gasol Brothers cannot defend Qin Yue.

But on the other hand, Qin Yue and Brown also can't stop them.

Because in the low post, whether Brown is facing Big Gasol or Little Gasol, his past performances can only be described as being dominated one-sidedly by them.

Although Qin Yue's personal offensive firepower is enough to overwhelm the Gasol Brothers...

Yet, courtside, after doing a simple math problem in his mind, Ma Long quietly called out not good in his heart.

Why not good?

Because as long as the Gasol Brothers can consistently score 40 points, you can completely understand it as them indirectly canceling out the 40 points Qin Yue scores for the Warriors on the court.

And the most deadly part is...

The next play, as Little Gasol hit a three-pointer, Ma Long immediately realized that the Lakers were playing a game of "Hawk catches chicken" with the Warriors.

Who is the hawk?

Of course, it's Qin Yue.

Then who is the chicken?

Naturally, it's the Gasol Brothers.

"I understand, their purpose is not to score a certain number of points inside, but to use the Gasol Brothers' range to pull Messiah away from the interior."

In recent years, the Warriors have consistently been the team with the highest rim-protection efficiency per 100 possessions in the league.

Indeed, herein, Brown, as one of the best sweeping centers of this era, has contributed significantly.

But, if Qin Yue is pulled away from the inside for a long time...

How can Brown, by himself, withstand the repeated onslaughts from Lakers players on the court?

On the court, it's the Lakers' offensive play.

Utilizing the vacancies and attraction inside created by the Gasol Brothers, Kobe smoothly drove to the basket and scored two points.

And it's worth mentioning...

After scoring two points for the Lakers, Kobe turned his eyes to Butler, who was just beaten by his experience and, in a trance, felt a momentary illusion that he was matched up against Jordan.

Shiny bald head.

In a No. 23 jersey.

And that face Kobe would never forget, no matter how many years pass.

"What's your name, rookie?"

"Jimmy Butler."

Kobe remembered the name Jimmy Butler.

Then, as that sense of returning to the past gradually faded, Kobe said to Butler, "Welcome to the NBA."

Seeing this, Qin Yue walked up to Butler and said, "Go repay him with a basket."

Butler exclaimed, "You mean, you want me to go one-on-one against Kobe next play?"

Qin Yue nodded and said, "Remember, when I set the screen for you in the past, shout at me, 'Put away your damn screen.'

Butler was puzzled, "What's the point of doing that?"

Qin Yue smiled and said, "No real purpose."

At Staples Center, it's the Warriors' turn to attack.

Qin Yue cleared half the court for Butler and, after handing him the basketball, immediately ran toward him.

Seeing this scene, under the defensive pressure from Kobe, Butler suddenly shouted, "Put away your damn screen! Can't you see I'm going one-on-one with Kobe?"

On the court, this sudden scene left Kobe momentarily stunned.

And Butler took this opportunity to drive into the Lakers' basket, completing a two-handed dunk.

At this moment, as the past reappeared, when Butler, who bore a resemblance to Jordan, uttered to him those words he had once said to Jordan...

The fighting spirit in Kobe's chest instantly reached its peak.

Meanwhile, on the Warriors bench, Big Ben said, "You guys know who, in today's league, is the most worried about Kobe aging?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Liwei said, "Those players who idolize him, perhaps?"

Big Ben shook his head, "No, that person is definitely Messiah."

Deng Liwei didn't understand why Qin Yue would be worried about Kobe aging.

But Big Ben knew that invincible for too long, Qin Yue, lonely due to his invincibility, increasingly yearned for those mortals daring to challenge him to remain forever young.

"He stands atop the mountain of NBA, overlooking all beings," Big Ben said, "And Kobe, among numerous seekers, is the only one who no matter how many times he fails, always dares to swing a fist at the gods."

God said, he likes mortals who dare to challenge him.

This night, do you think the troubles the Lakers caused the Warriors at the start would make Qin Yue anxious?

No....

Quite the opposite, the pressure from the Lakers, in fact, allowed Qin Yue, who still needs time to find his game state, to quietly enter that incredibly magical state.

Qin Yue could freely enter and exit "The Zone."

For the entire first quarter tonight, he remained under the blessing of "The Zone."

On the court, it's the Warriors' offensive play.

With a scissor step, Sam God leaves Big Gasol behind, facing the fearless Little Gasol, and sees Qin Yue, suspended in the air, scoring with a single-hand layup.

Moreover, the whistle sounds as the ball goes in.

This is an AND-ONE.

At this instant, as time freezes.
