Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters-Chapter 1073 - 605 GOAT is Very Accurate in

Chapter 1073: Chapter 605 GOAT is Very Accurate in Judging People_3 Chapter 1073: Chapter 605 GOAT is Very Accurate in Judging People_3 The loss on defense affected his offense, which is a major issue for traditional big men in the modern game.

Even if they technically transition, it’s hard to maintain a stable mindset.

Once their defense becomes a breakthrough, they want to help the team recover on offense, which adds psychological pressure on themselves.

Affected by the mindset, Yao Ming’s shooting became inaccurate.

Halfway through the quarter, the Miami Heat took an 8 point lead. Yu Fei immediately reminded Rivers to make substitutions.

Rivers agreed, immediately substituting Jokić for Yao Ming, then giving Yao Ming some clichéd words of encouragement.

During the Warriors’ free throw, Yu Fei gathered everyone together for on-the-spot deployment: unlimited switching, bold and fast counterattacks, and assaulting the opponent’s offensive rebounds.

...

These three points were precisely aimed at the Warriors’ small-ball lineup.

After just one round, the Clippers’ style of play changed.

Curry could no longer get easy offensive opportunities by simply calling for a pick-and-roll; the Miami Heat needed to make ball transfers.

Love struggled to compete with Yu Fei in the paint. When he moved to the perimeter, he was defended by Yu Fei.

Butler attempted to go one-on-one but was held down by Thompson.

The Clippers’ counterattack began immediately.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers tied the score. Going into the second quarter, adhering to the principle of “use as much as possible,” Rivers left Yu Fei, Antetokounmpo, and Thompson on the court, and substituted Nine-finger Green for the out-of-sync Jokić.

This adjustment meant pushing Yu Fei up to the center position.

This move hit right at the Miami Heat’s weakness.

The Miami Heat’s interior lacked height, and when faced with the Clippers’ adjusted lineup in the first quarter, their response was to continue to reduce their size and create space with three-pointers.

For them, the Clippers’ voluntary reduction in size was exactly what they wanted to see.

Both sides felt the other team’s changes were in their favor.

Then, what horrified the Miamians happened.

Yu Fei began actively matching up against Curry.

Then it was Antetokounmpo, followed by Jefferson, then Nine-finger Green, and finally Thompson.

Each player’s size and athletic ability gave Curry an overwhelming disadvantage. As the team’s engine, Curry started to misfire at the beginning of the second quarter.

The game entered the Clippers’ rhythm.

Yu Fei was the only core on the court, receiving the ball in the low post, attacking the Miami Heat’s defense like magic, and dishing out passes like Magic Johnson.

Then, Yu Fei worked a pick-and-roll with Antetokounmpo.

Either Antetokounmpo would rush to the basket for a dunk, or Yu Fei would find a mismatch for one-on-one, or attract the Miami Heat’s double team to assist a teammate.

Yu Fei and Antetokounmpo’s threat was so great that Thompson on the weak side had to be left open, and this shooter, who should never have been left open, quenched the Miami Heat’s passion with his rain of threes.

In the second quarter, the Clippers dominated their opponents with a score advantage of 38 to 19.

Yu Fei’s performance reminded people of how he had single-handedly destroyed the Warriors Team in the fourth game of the division finals.

A local Los Angeles TV commentator asked Walton on the spot: “Bill, how do you view Frye’s performance this quarter?”

Then, Walton’s classic commentary sounded: “Dana, from the heights of Sun Valley, overlooking the vast desert, the red light of dawn illuminates this beautiful sky. I’m reading Edward Abbey’s ‘Desert Solitude’ while the melody is flowing through this smoky caldera on opening day. I’ve been listening to Bob Dylan’s album ‘Modern Times’, and it’s just amazing.”

“The melody that lingers in my mind today is John Fogerty’s ‘Center Field’, ‘Put me in, coach – I’m ready to play today.’ Or Bob Dylan’s ‘New Morning.’ Dana, just like you, I’m so happy to spend this brand new morning under this blue sky. A new morning, opening day, and what could be better than that?”

“That’s right, it’s Frye’s game!”

In the second half, Yu Fei patted Yao Ming’s back and said, “The first half doesn’t count—the game starts now.”

Yao Ming looked at the score; the Clippers were already 19 points ahead.

GOAT says the game starts now.

Does it mean it’s garbage time, time for settling scores?

What kind of person is he?

Finally, capitalizing on their first-half lead, the Clippers defeated the Warriors by 15 points to secure their first-ever championship game victory.

It’s worth mentioning that Yao Ming, who started the first half with 1 of 5 shooting, ended the second half with 8 of 11, furiously scoring 24 points and 6 rebounds.

GOAT really knows how to read people.
