Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 684 - 235: Can Choose Not to Fight (20,000 Words Double Update, Begging for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!) _3
Other than Brown, who else could it be?
It's just that, since the Warriors won, Qin Yue of course had to forgive Brown for his performance on the court, where he was utterly demolished by the Gasol Brothers.
And on the Lakers' side, the unruly Paul before the game clearly didn't become dispirited after a narrow defeat.
During the post-game interview, Paul was seen continuing to talk big: "He only beat us once with luck. Next time, I believe luck won't always be on his side."
Paul's remarks drew quite a bit of dissatisfaction from the Warriors' players.
"Luck? Luck can't bring four FMVP trophies to the Messiah."
Kwame Brown sharply criticized Paul's comment at the press conference: "Chris has the typical mindset of a loser. Because he's never won, he has no idea how much effort Messiah puts in regularly to win out in the end."
Big Ben, who also attended the press conference with Brown, said, "If luck could help the Messiah become the greatest in history, then I guess Lady Luck must be his fan."
The responses from Big Ben and Brown were undoubtedly strong and powerful.
But...
In front of Paul, whose talk is tougher than anyone else's, to expect him to take back his harsh words was clearly too much wishful thinking for Big Ben and Brown.
...
In November, after leading the team to defeat the Lakers, yet another score to settle with Kobe was added to the list.
Moreover, being taunted by Paul as merely "lucky," Qin Yue still focused most of his energy on regaining his game shape and helping Butler adapt to the NBA pace.
It's worth noting that Butler, tasked with redeeming Qin Yue's eye for talent, seemed like a different person after the game against the Lakers. Not only was he more confident in his offense, but he also frequently requested to guard the opposition's perimeter core in defense.
This change in Butler's mentality was related to the confidence he gained from the game against the Lakers, named "I'm not even afraid of Kobe."
On the other hand, looking at Danny Green, who was sent down to the Santa Cruz Warriors...
In late November, when Qin Yue heard that Green had put up single-digit performances in consecutive NBDL games, to be honest, even Qin Yue, who always had full confidence in Green, couldn't help but waver this time.
After all, even Brownie from later generations could dominate in the G-League.
But Green...
The proud captain of the North Carolina championship team...
Couldn't even understand the NBDL?
Fortunately, after asking the assistant coach for the game footage of Green...
Qin Yue realized that it wasn't that he couldn't comprehend the NBDL, it was just that his characteristics determined he couldn't handle too much ball possession in the game.
Thus, in early December, at Qin Yue's suggestion, the team recalled Green from the Santa Cruz Warriors.
And on the 5th, in the Warriors' first matchup of the season against the Heat, Qin Yue also suggested to Ma Long to assign Green the responsibility of guarding Anthony.
Exactly...
In this game against the Heat, with both Wallace and Bell resting, the young Green and the rookie Butler were both promoted to the starting lineup by Ma Long.
Then, these two young players experienced what it meant to face malice from veterans in front of Anthony and Wade.
In the game, when junior Butler faced senior Wade.
Although Butler's defensive attitude deserved praise.
But throughout the game, Wade was basically single-handedly tormenting Butler.
Moreover...
Compared to Kobe, who primarily relies on shooting in this phase of his attack...
The quick and whistle-drawing Wade clearly made Butler more uncomfortable.
Thus, at Oracle Arena, Wade delivered a brilliant technical performance with 12 for 21 shooting, including 1 for 3 from three-point range, and 12 for 14 from free throws, totaling 37 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists.
And Green?
Indeed, it was a game where Green, with his 4 for 6 three-point shooting, successfully won the trust of the Warriors' coaching staff.
But...
On the court, facing the now out-of-this-world offensive techniques of Anthony, how could Green surprise or outsmart the opponent?
On the game night, Green was similarly tormented by Anthony.
Moreover, more miserably than Butler, Anthony, with an even heavier hand, scored a total of 44 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists in front of Green.
The Gua Wei Brothers combined for a total of 81 points.
Seriously, if it were another opponent, the Heat would surely have had a big win.
But in this Heat-Warriors battle...
In that unnoticed corner...
A certain All-Star forward named Chris Bosh got utterly torn to shreds by Qin Yue, who had to step up with heavy punches to stick up for his younger teammates.
The Dragon King was skinned alive by the ever-youthful Nezha that was Qin Yue.
Throughout the game, Bosh, who scored a total of 7 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists for the Heat, facing the 58 points, 18 rebounds, and 12 assists of Qin Yue for the Warriors, if not driven into silence by his opponent, at least felt the opponent shattered his courage and guts.
"Bosh one board" faced the ruthless onslaught of "58 Qin."
Adding to this, even Brown could have his way with the Heat's interior line during the game...
The Warriors, with just one game, thoroughly awakened Pat Riley, who was still dreaming of cheap solutions doing big things.
After the game, Wade even pleaded to Riley for Bosh: "If we don't strengthen our interior line, even if we make it to the finals, we're very likely to be swept by the Warriors."
And on the side, Anthony echoed, saying: "This game, it's absolutely not because Chris is incapable, it's just that he's facing an Ultraman he can never defeat in this game."
The Gua Wei Brothers both felt sorry for Bosh.
This made Bosh, whose "Bosh one board" name had spread, genuinely feel the true warmth of humanity.
And just as the Warriors had awakened the Heat in early December.
On the other side, the Knicks, who aimed to break the Warriors' monopoly this season, saw James initiate another locker room coup.
The main struggle content of this coup in the Knicks was...
Whatever it took, they wanted the forever clueless Howard to understand clearly who was in charge in New York!
And interestingly, nearly all Knicks players sided with James in this coup.
Because since joining the Knicks...
The giant baby Howard, who didn't want to set screens for his teammates and only wished to prove his dominance in the low post, had angered everyone.
To be honest, in this era where even James knows that giving Harden a screen guarantees some benefit...
James really couldn't understand why Howard kept living in the delusion that he could dominate in the low post like some fool.
Howard's good days had come.
Because compared to that late-career Kobe who would just dismiss him with a smile even if insulted as an old dog...
This Knicks team, just swept by the Warriors in the finals, indeed needed an outlet to vent their negative emotions.
On this day, inside the Knicks' locker room, Harden was responsible for closing the door.
James and Durant each held a baseball bat...
Then, after clearing their throats twice, Iguodala, elected by everyone, suddenly confronted Howard: "Dwight, you know, if you don't want to play properly, you can actually choose not to play."
