Brother Kui?
At this mont, if it weren’t for Biedrins’ reminder...
Qin Yue almost couldn’t rember that the Warriors still had this player.
Since both the Warriors and the Suns are teams that actively seize transition offensive opportunities, on the court, in a flash, Nash had already dribbled past half court.
This is exactly why the Suns were able to crush the Warriors in the regular season last season.
When their lineup is complete, their crazy pace...
Instead causes Qin Yue’s stamina to decrease rapidly, preventing him from handling a large volu of possessions as he usually does.
Fortunately, Jack’s clever tactical foul disrupted the Suns’ offensive advance.
On the Warriors’ bench, coach Mike Malone, knowing that Qin Yue needed more rest ti this ga, called up Matt Barnes early and instructed Murphy, "In the first half of the second quarter, you have to play the role of the ssiah."
Murphy, returning from injury, joyfully replied, "I will definitely complete my task."
This sumr, if possible, Malone hoped that the Warriors could acquire a power forward who has range and playmaking ability.
Because as today’s NBA ga pace gets faster and faster...
Malone had to control Qin Yue’s playing ti to around 35 minutes to ensure he wouldn’t be worn out by the long regular season.
On the court, Qin Yue, who enjoys the best defensive resources on the Warriors, decisively left the Suns’ second playmaker Diaw open after noticing Marion, who was supposed to be guarded by Artest, quietly cutting into the Warrior Forbidden Area.
During this period, Diaw’s scoring mainly relied on under the basket and long two-pointers.
His three-point threat was minimal, allowing Qin Yue to retreat into the paint at any ti and use his talent to accumulate block stats.
However, Marion, this oddball player, unexpectedly ended the play with an extrely awkward twisting floater after receiving the ball.
Even though the basket rejected this floater, Qin Yue couldn’t help but angrily curse in his heart, "Who taught him to play like that?"
Marion’s technical movents are extrely strange.
In Qin Yue’s mory of the famous "8-point ga," he once also made LeBron Jas quite distressed.
Additionally, with Marion’s forward height and inside wingspan, Qin Yue quickly abandoned the thought of outmaneuvering him on the periter.
Because under Marion’s relentless defense, Qin Yue’s periter maneuvers could easily turn into pathetic timid jumpers like a scared lizard.
In the low post, Qin Yue adjusted Marion’s footwork with a fast-slow-fast rhythm, and then exploded through leverage, creating a tornado-like effect in the Arican Airlines Center.
Different from Anthony’s spin move.
Since Qin Yue’s fra is larger, once he gains space to spin in front of a defender, his spinning arc gives the illusion of a "tornado destroying a parking lot."
The next second, he spins and scores a layup.
Under the glaring gaze of the live audience, Qin Yue then arrogantly executed a "triple-gun salute," as if showing respect to "Mr. lo," but more so giving the ho crowd a harsh lesson.
Phoenix loathes Qin Yue.
If possible, they truly wish a teor could suddenly descend and take away Qin Yue, this "b****."
On TNT TV Station, clearly Qin Yue is playing against his old team tonight, but Barkley, this real "b****," is eagerly hoping Qin Yue will play even more aggressively.
In the first quarter, when Qin Yue cut into the basket using Biedrins’ screen and strongly received a pass from Jack to score, Barkley was imnsely excited and shouted, "AND-ONE! No! Why isn’t this an AND-ONE?"
Beside him, Smith, understanding why Barkley was anxious, laughed, "Hey, Charles, with this level of contact, the refs won’t blow the whistle."
What does it an that with this level of contact, the refs won’t blow the whistle?
Bad call!
Absolutely a bad call!
At this mont, in Barkley’s eyes, as long as a Suns player had contact with Qin Yue, the refs ought to blow the whistle!
On the court, Qin Yue, who continuously bulldozed through several possessions at the rim, although achieving a high efficiency of 4 out of 5, already felt his stamina gauge quickly depleting, inevitably needing a break.
The Warriors’ offensive possession.
Qin Yue, holding the ball at the top of the arc, easily broke the Suns’ four-man-zone.
Nash, while maneuvering off-screen on the wing, was unfortunately blocked by Biedrins behind him.
Marion habitually intended to cover for Nash, but... this left Qin Yue unexpectedly open, montarily transforming him into a future "Little Green" and "Big Green."
Facing such humiliation from Marion, Qin Yue imdiately took the shot at the top of the arc.
Clang—!
Clang—!
Swish—!
Even though the basketball bounced off the rim consecutively, Qin Yue admitted he almost beca material for future fans to joke about, but after the ball finally swished through the net, an instantly smug Qin Yue shrugged his shoulders and shouted to Marion, "Don’t guard , keep leaving open if you’ve got the guts."
Would Marion leave Qin Yue open to shoot threes?
He really would.
Unlike athletes who would lose their cool with a bit of provocation from Qin Yue, Marion has long been a player adept at deciding defensive strategies through observation and calculation.
This season, Qin Yue’s three-point shooting percentage is 37%.
In the current era, this shooting percentage is considered excellent.
However, while reviewing Qin Yue’s three-point attempts, Marion found that because Qin Yue easily gets open looks for threes on the court...
Plus, his three-point volu only significantly increases on nights when his touch is excellent...
