Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 714 - 248: When Gods Exceed Imagination
Green's explosive play broke the balance of this slugfest.
This is also a scene that O'Neal would not find unfamiliar.
Because in the 1995 Finals, "no clutch three-pointer, no shot" Kenny Smith, played the role of Green opposite O'Neal in that series.
On the court, it's the Lakers' offensive possession.
Under immense pressure, Little Gasol made a life-saving three-pointer for the Lakers.
62 to 67.
Back to the Warriors, under Qin Yue's command, the team is creating opportunities for Green, Qin Yue screens for a shot opportunity near the top of the arc.
But just as Klay forcefully bypassed the screen and charged at Green, Green suddenly switched from shooting to passing, smashing the ball towards Qin Yue, who was already cutting to the Lakers' paint.
Then, Qin Yue leaped and dunked it ferociously.
Was this calm and perfect pass really from Green?
Even Qin Yue couldn't help but give Green a thumbs up after the goal.
Because usually, such short pick and rolls are initiated by Curry and Qin Yue.
Qin Yue didn't expect Green to notice his intention was just to get an offensive rebound.
On TNT TV, Smith said: "Dan's focus in this game clearly surpasses others, allowing him to immediately notice Messiah's movement."
Rain after a long drought, roughly describes Qin Yue's most genuine mindset at the moment.
At Oracle Arena, it's the Lakers' ball possession.
Tonight, a very un-Kobe-like Kobe, after initiating a 1-5 pick and roll with Little Gasol at the high post, like a Magician possessed, lightly flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Little Gasol at the top of the arc.
However, since Little Gasol just hit a three-pointer in the last possession, as this Spanish big white bear made a shooting motion, both Wallace and Brown lunged at him.
But the shot was a fake, the pass was real, Little Gasol, just like Green's story, faked a shot and truly passed the ball back to Kobe.
Kobe's under-basket floater banked in.
64 to 69.
"How can this damn game be so good to watch?"
On TNT TV, Barkley exclaimed: "This is definitely one of the highest-level defensive games I've seen in recent years, but the Lakers and Warriors can still play such beautiful basketball under this level of defense!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Beside him, Smith, who shared the feeling, said: "This game is enough to represent the highest level of the NBA to date."
Warriors ball possession.
Receiving star player treatment, Green, after running around to move the Lakers' help defenders, created an isolation opportunity for Qin Yue on Little Gasol at the wing without the ball.
The role players in the Warriors are still burning themselves out.
And Qin Yue?
This is a possession where he must repay Green's movement.
So, he sped up, behind-the-back crossover.
As Qin Yue, strolling leisurely, used his superb human-ball integration ability to completely shake off Little Gasol, he calmly made a jump shot.
"What a gorgeous shot!"
On the Warriors' bench, noticing Qin Yue's hot state, Mike Malone immediately called Curry in.
If a rampaging Green already troubled the Lakers greatly,
now, undoubtedly, is an excellent moment for the Warriors to send in Curry to further space out for Qin Yue.
On the court, dead ball substitution.
Curry up, Wallace down.
The Warriors kept the playoff novice duo of Green and Butler, who were personally picked by Qin Yue.
"Jimmy, you will handle the ball next."
Moreover, as Curry subbed in, to lighten Qin Yue's organizational load, Malone made the bold decision to give court command to Butler, the rookie.
"Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for one moment."
Courtside, turning his gaze towards assistant coach Hollins, who didn't understand his adjustment well, Malone said: "In our team, as long as someone is on the court, I will not treat them as a rookie."
Malone knew well that to fully unleash Qin Yue's offensive power, the Warriors needed someone to take over the command.
The next Warriors offensive possession.
Butler used Qin Yue's inherent attraction to deliver a precise pass to Curry that fully showcased the young player's observational abilities.
This leading pass gave Curry the opportunity to attack the basket the moment he received the basketball.
The next second, Curry scored a layup against Paul's hopeless defense.
At this moment, the Warriors' players' beautiful plays captivated the audience.
And on TNT TV, Barkley marveled at Qin Yue's influence, saying: "We've always said Messiah is a player who can make his teammates better."
"Why?"
"I think this possession is the answer."
Due to Qin Yue's natural gravitational pull, even without touching the ball, he managed to draw the Lakers' defense's attention during off-the-ball movements.
Thus, as long as the Warriors players on court aren't the future "Great Wise" Wiseman or "Second Wise" Kuminga, no matter how hard the Lakers defend, it's inevitable someone will be left open.
However, in the upcoming game that magnified the "Great Qin's Pull", it still has to be Curry.
On the court, first catching and shooting quickly in front of Paul.
Then, in the next possession, successfully isolating against Kobe from the left wing 45-degree angle.
At Oracle Arena, when Curry hit consecutive high-difficulty threes for the Warriors, the formation of "Curry's Gravity" instantly resonated with "Great Qin's Pull".
