Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 687 - 236: When Tolerance Is No Longer Possible..._3

"Dwight, didn't anyone teach you how to set a pick in Orlando?"

James looked at Howard in confusion and said, "Do you know you didn't even properly block the player?"

Hearing this, Howard thought to himself "I did set the pick, yet you still blame me for not doing it right," and silently cursed James in his heart as "an annoying old dog."

Though considering James's age, Howard should have called him a little dog.

But just like in Qin Yue's memory.

Even if it means temporarily swallowing his pride...

This giant baby, who always had his own ideas, was not willing to serve as a dog for his teammates.

This is Dwight Howard.

In the same era, even Kobe and Harden could only lament, if this dumb dog had any brains at all, would he be so completely clueless?

Madison Square Garden, a Warriors' offensive play.

Standing at the arc top, initiating a 4-5 pick-and-roll, Qin Yue originally just wanted to create a scoring opportunity for his teammates through his pick-and-roll with Brown.

However, when Qin Yue noticed that Howard dared to gamble that he wouldn't shoot, neglecting to step up and disrupt, Qin Yue immediately changed his mind.

The next second, he gathered the ball and took a confident jump shot.

There was not a hint of hesitation.

The three-pointer that Qin Yue shot from the top of the arc drew a beautiful arc in the air before swishing cleanly through the Knicks' basket. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

On the court, James spread his arms and kept pressuring Howard, saying, "Interrupt, interrupt, damn it! How can you let him shoot like that?"

Seeing this, Howard wanted to argue for himself...

He only wanted to test Qin Yue's shooting touch like he used to do in Orlando.

But the Howard of today is not the same as before, and he was destined to accumulate dissatisfaction with this team quietly and forbearingly.

The Knicks' turn to attack.

Having gradually grasped the new NBA rules on dribbling and traveling, Harden used a highly controversial step-back to shake off Nash from the perimeter.

Undoubtedly, it was a step-back that danced on the edge of the rules.

From the left wing at a forty-five-degree angle, Harden knocked down the three-pointer after shaking off Nash.

And on-site...

With Harden responding to Qin Yue's earlier shot with this Answer.Ball, the entire arena erupted into a frenzy.

At this moment, as a player who couldn't stand too much noise in a hostile environment, Qin Yue swiftly crossed half-court with large strides, actively called for the ball, and once again initiated a 4-5 pick-and-roll with Brown near the top of the arc.

In this play, Howard's disruption was timely.

However, treating his teammate as "Martial Saint" Jackson, Howard clearly overestimated James's help defense capability.

Thus, at the moment Howard was about to return to his position, exploiting the lack of coordination between Howard and James, Qin Yue swiftly pierced through the Knicks' entire defense.

On the court, James was about to spread his arms again.

Because when Qin Yue, with unstoppable momentum, bulldozed past Howard and rushed into the Knicks' restricted area, asserting dominance on their basket...

James couldn't understand why Howard was so lax in guarding Qin Yue?

However, James might not believe it if told.

Howard also didn't understand why, after he had secured sufficient help defense time for James, James chose to stand and watch?

Under the continuous pressure from his teammates.

When Howard believed he had done his best in this defensive play.

This dumb dog, who had temporarily chosen to be low-key and forbearing, had already reached the tipping point of his dissatisfaction with the team.

Howard was fed up with the world.

And carrying this growing resentment...

Howard still had to continue enduring.

Yet, unlike last season with James.

Howard's vision and intelligence determined that he was destined not to endure like James did.

So, since he couldn't endure...

How could Howard possibly choose to endure again and again?
