Chapter 200: Fenglinhuoshan!
Chapter 200: Fenglinhuoshan! (First update, I forgot the timer, my!)
At the start of the game, Brown won the ball for the Warriors.
In the frontcourt, seeing Qin Yue making the one-fourth-wide gesture, the Warriors players quickly cleared one half of the court.
Seeing this, Horford, as usual, put his arm directly on the opponent’s ball-protecting hand when defending Qin Yue.
This was the most common defensive method in the NBA before the HAND-CHECK rule was abolished.
Under the tacit approval of this rule, defensive players can weaken the breakthrough ability of the offensive team with the ball through arm contact and compress the opponent’s shooting space.
Therefore, before the NBA cancels this rule, even the top outside stars will find it difficult to shoot as they please in the game.
Except Michael Jordan.
In that defensive era, Jordan’s abnormality was that.
Not only could he shoot whenever he wanted, but he was also the superstar with the highest outside offensive efficiency throughout the 1990s.
Although many new generation fans in the future will believe that if Jordan were put in the future, he might not still be Jordan.
But since the release of the Qin Yue Rule, Qin Yue, as the only player in the league who can still enjoy the HAND-CHECK rule, believes that
If he and Jordan were playing under the defensive standards of the later NBA, the competition between them should be about who averaged 50 points per game in the NBA regular season more times before the end of their career.
On the court, Qin Yue knew that in order to get rid of the constraints of the HAND-CHECK rule, he had to be fast enough. The moment he blew the ball to the side, he immediately pulled the ball from his right hand to his left hand like a whirlwind, and while inducing Horford to shift his body’s center of gravity, he pulled the basketball back to his right hand again.
That’s the terrifying thing about the god Horford has to face every night in this Finals.
Even if the HAND-CHECK rule could be used to restrict Qin Yue, when the fast-moving Qin Yue dribbled the ball into the heart of the Celtics’ defense, Horford, who was completely shaken off by the opponent, could only try to follow behind the opponent.
Bang, whoosh!
In the Celtics’ penalty area, in order to save energy, Qin Yue made an elegant flying layup to give the Warriors the first goal.
“Your help defense is too slow.” Under the basket, Qin Yue turned his eyes to Duncan who was late and said, “Even if this kid can get a hold of me, you can’t expect him to defend me alone.”
Hearing this, Duncan nodded and said, “You are right, so I will try my best to do better next time.”
Arguing with Duncan is probably the most boring thing in the world.
Because no matter how you provoke, Duncan will use his own unique way to resolve the verbal battle you initiate against him.
On the court, it was the Celtics’ turn to attack.
Wallace, who was finally able to defend Pierce with the same standards, successfully defended the opponent’s wing single play, which was somewhat tinged with personal grudges.
In order to gain shooting space, Pierce used his elbow to clear the way, but under the continuous pressure of Wallace, he almost lost the ball.
“That’s a foul, Dan!”
On the right side of the court, after forcing a shot and ultimately missing it, Pierce complained angrily to the referee Crawford.
However, compared to the Crawford in Game 3, this Crawford, who has always been known for his impartiality in law enforcement, responded to Pierce like this: “Are you sure that was a foul just now?”
“Of course!” Pierce said confidently, “He obviously touched my shooting hand!”
Crawford shook his head and said, “If I follow your standard, I will have to call at least 50 free throws for Messiah in this game.”
Seeing this, Pierce was speechless.
Because no matter how hard Pierce’s mouth was, he didn’t dare to talk back when Qin Yue was always whistled by the referee for the reverse star.
After all, if the referee was really angered and Horford lost the protection of the Qin Yue Law, then the Celtics would be facing a god who had completely lost his restraints.
Pierce knew very well that Qin Yue, who had been targeted by referees every night since the advent of “The Qin and Yue Rules”, was not the kind of product that could be promoted through marketing and packaging.
So, at this moment, Pierce chose to shut up.
Then, it was still one and four that opened up.
However, this time, what Qin Yue showed Horford was his unstoppable three-threat offense with the ball in one hand.
On the court, when Qin Yue, who was as slow as a stick, calmly pointed at Horford, Horford, who felt as innocent as he could be in front of the opponent, could only watch Qin Yue’s subsequent pull-up shot fall into the net.
“I’m stupid, really.”
The next second, Horford muttered to himself: “I knew he was faking it, but I just couldn’t help jumping.”
Looking at Horford, Duncan took the initiative to comfort him and said, “It’s not your fault, Al, because nowadays, his fake moves can only be described as real.”
If we say that every hair of James Harden in the future is cylindrical.
At this moment, Qin Yue was full of fake moves, and every shake of his body hair might cause the defensive player to be deceived during the defense.
Coming back, Celtics have the ball.
Pierce, who tried to regain his face in front of Wallace, was defeated again.
Although Pierce’s back-to-the-basket shot was indeed sexy, Wallace, who pushed Pierce back, seriously disrupted Pierce’s back-to-the-basket rhythm, and in turn affected Pierce’s success rate of turning around and fading back.
When——!
In the Warriors penalty area, Qin Yue grabbed the rebound with a backhand over the head of Duncan who was preparing to tip in for the Celtics.
When Duncan turned around in great surprise, Qin Yue, who was as aggressive as fire, had already strode towards the Celtics’ half and completed the siege for the Warriors.
Bang-dang——!
In the Celtics’ half, when Qin Yue was running towards them like a tank, Carter, who was the fastest in retreat, could only spread his hands helplessly to his teammates.
“I can’t stop him.” Carter said, “If I had chosen to confront him head-on, I would probably have just given him an AND-ONE for nothing.”
“You’re right, Vince.” Pierce said, knowing that Carter did not intentionally let Qin Yue dunk. “It’s my fault. I was too impatient.”
It has to be said that the reason why this Celtics team is so resilient is indeed related to their very good communication within the team.
On the court, Pierce, who had failed to score for the team for two consecutive rounds, did not choose to continue to compete with Wallace, but worked together with his teammates to create an opportunity for Duncan to play against Qin Yue in the low post. However, what is different from the 21-year-old Qin Yue is
At this moment, even if Duncan tried his best, he couldn’t use rhythm to shake off Qin Yue who remained as still as a mountain.
In the Warriors penalty area, when Duncan could only barely complete his shot, Qin Yue, who stood still, almost instantly suppressed the opponent’s personal attack.
Immediately afterwards, Brown protected the second landing point and passed the ball back to Qin Yue.
Seeing this, the Celtics players quickly retreated and did not give the Warriors a chance to launch a transition offense.
Qin Yue brought the ball to the frontcourt, and after careful observation, he took the initiative to let Brown move up to the high position to perform a pick-and-roll with him.
On the court, Brown successfully attracted the attention of the Celtics’ defense.
But Qin Yue, who has always been unpredictable, successfully blocked Du Lin for Curry on the other side while dribbling quickly to the wing.
Because at this moment, the Celtics’ inside players were unable to move forward to delay, so under the cover of Qin Yue, the unattended Curry could even make a slight adjustment before completing the shot.
Swish-!
The opening score was 9-0!
In front of the technical table, facing the Warriors’ offensive climax at the beginning of Game 4, Celtics coach Alvin Gentry decisively requested a timeout.
After the timeout, the Celtics finally opened the scoring account with Carter’s long two-point jump shot.
But on the other hand, just when Pierce, who was on the wing, was about to force Qin Yue to pass the ball by double-teaming him in advance.
When Qin Yue, moving like thunder, squeezed through the gap between Pierce and Horford with the force of thunder, the Celtics fans at home immediately let out wails.
It is as fast as wind, as slow as forest, as plundering as fire, as motionless as mountain, as unpredictable as shadow, and as moving as thunder!
The overlord from the East turned the entire TD Garden into the largest library in the United States in just a few rounds!
On the court, at the moment when Qin Yue put the basketball into the hoop through Duncan and the referee blew the whistle, the live broadcast camera immediately gave a close-up shot to the legendary jerseys hanging on the dome of the stadium.
On TNT, Barkley interpreted this meaningful scene for the American audience: “Only legends can surpass legends! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Messiah Era!”
In the first quarter, the unstoppable Qin Yue scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks for the Warriors in a single quarter.
The score between the two teams on the scoreboard was 36 to 24.
During the intermission, Warriors head coach Malone, who was in charge of the interview, said: “I believe that after experiencing the era of Michael Jordan, every fan has fantasized about how he would play if a player who surpasses Michael appeared in the NBA one day in the future.”
“There is no doubt that the Messiah fulfills our fantasy. I have no doubt that his dominance on the court has surpassed that of Michael Jordan.”
In order to catch up with the score, the Celtics kept Pierce and Carter to lead the team in the first half of the second quarter.
On the sidelines, regarding Pierce’s beating up Warriors backup forward Barnes, the honest Wallace couldn’t help but complain: “Is the so-called truth just bullying the weak and fearing the strong?”
Wallace got it right.
Although in Qin Yue’s previous life, Pierce was famous for scoring 2008 points in front of James in the seventh game of the 41 Eastern Conference Finals and leading the Celtics to defeat Cleveland.
But in fact, throughout his career, Pierce has been known for being good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
And
Even when it comes to suppressing James, Pierce, who has no advantage in his career record against James, is not convincing at all.
The American media once commented on the years-long competition between Pierce and James: “It’s like someone passing Eliud Kipchoge in the middle of a marathon, but never mentioning that he finished half an hour behind him.”
In the second quarter, when Wallace returned to the court, Pierce, who had stopped playing, was immediately questioned by the honest boy Wallace: “Didn’t you say before that you would sweep me into the trash can? What? Don’t you know how to play without a whistle?”
Hearing this, Pierce said angrily: “Shut up! I’ll deal with you later!”
As the type of player Pierce is least good at dealing with, after a few rounds, Wallace took the initiative to ask, “I want to confirm, when are you going to deal with me?”
Pierce: “.”
In the second half of the second quarter, under Wallace’s strenuous defense, Pierce, who made 3 of 0 shots, fell into a double slump in both spirit and shooting touch.
Qin Yue knew that in the third game, Wallace and Brown, who were ejected by Joey Crawford, were the two most unhappy players on the Warriors.
So in this quarter, Qin Yue, who has always been considerate of his teammates, also focused his attention on feeding Brown and Wallace.
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it more grass.
With the help of Qin Yue, the pair of brothers with dreadlocks combined to score 14 points for the Warriors in the second half of the second quarter alone.
The Celtics’ defensive system almost completely collapsed under Qin Yue’s organization and dispatch.
Because of this night, the Celtics did not dare to bet on whether Qin Yue could be as good as they were in the second game, which indirectly magnified Qin Yue’s “Qin Gravity” on the court.
At the end of the first half, the score was 64 to 51.
The Warriors entered the second half with a 13-point lead.
At the start of the second half, facing the same level of defense as the Warriors, the Celtics made a series of mistakes and only Carter could be considered normal.
In the NBA, every team will inevitably have times when they are in poor form.
only.
The Celtics’ poor form in this game was mainly due to Game 3. They had already adapted to the referee’s whistle for them as long as they played in the paint.
On the court, when the referee’s penalty standards returned to normal, the Celtics, who relied too much on free throws, lost their previous style.
So, at the end of the game, the score was 128 to 94. At the TD Garden, the Warriors defeated the Celtics with a big victory and successfully got the match point with a score of 3 to 1.
