Under the persistent tornt of Qin Yue over the years...
Jas, who always considered himself as "knowing Great Qin best," was already showing signs of transforming into a "combat-averse lizard" in front of him.
Why is Jas so afraid of Qin Yue?
Because...
67 points in three quarters of the Finals.
55 points in one Olympic ga, and 58 points in another.
And also a record-breaking 101 points in a single NBA ga.
Yes, these legendary performances were all Qin Yue's work when facing Jas.
If these legendary monts aren't enough to prove that Jas is indeed Qin Yue's Star Fury.
Then we can only say...
People's expectations of Jas have now dropped to the point where as long as he doesn't randomly pick up trash to eat, he can declare himself the GOAT.
However...
Self-deception on the basketball court is dood to be aningless.
In the second quarter, the only good news for Jas was...
Because the Warriors sent out a second lineup composed of Qin Yue, Barnes, Livingston, Deng Liwei, and Curry.
To ensure the interior defense, Qin Yue did not choose to match up with Jas on the defensive end.
This allowed Jas to breathe a little easier.
And...
The Knicks' first offensive possession.
Noticing that the Warriors assigned the slender Livingston to guard him, Jas imdiately evolved from a combat-averse lizard to an excited golden lion.
From Young Jas to Full-Power Jas.
This is the unparalleled evolutionary ability of Jas on the court.
High on the right wing, without even calling for a screen.
Receiving the pass from Harden, Jas eagerly drove into Livingston's defensive area.
But...
This season, even with Livingston's intermittent play in the regular season, Ma Long insisted on including him in the team's playoff roster, appreciating his ability to switch to the wing's one-on-one defense.
Being not strong enough is indeed one of Livingston's major weaknesses.
But in the mont Jas left Livingston behind, he clearly forgot why the other was once the fourth pick in the first round of the NBA draft.
Of course, it was his exceptional static and dynamic talents!
Maybe relentless injuries had taken away Livingston's vaunted athletic ability.
However...
Livingston's outstanding static talent and the defensive awareness he honed during his downti ensured that he seldom suffered losses when playing at the small forward position.
On the court, in a mont of negligence, forgetting to safeguard, Jas, when about to rge the ball, had it stolen from his hands by Livingston from the rear side.
Full-Power Jas's sure-scoring shot was calmly disrupted by Livingston.
This left Jas, who had originally seen Livingston as a freebie, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
However, after the baseline ball was re-inbounded, Jas unflinchingly completed a banked jump shot in front of Livingston.
Although the forceful shot eventually missed, this assertive hard finish was enough to display his omnipresent dominion.
What?
You say this can also be called dominion?
Then here's the question: even though Qin Yue is famous for his precision within the three-point line, has he never missed a shot?
Oh, so this ans Qin Yue missing a shot is stylishly cool, but Jas missing is a lack of finishing ans?
In the Warrior Forbidden Area, feeling the bounty of nature, Qin Yue grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a transition offense.
The court saw the Knicks players retreat very quickly.
Jas stuck close to Qin Yue, perfectly displaying his ever-selfless team player side, willing to work tirelessly on defense since joining the Knicks.
Even though this side was a reluctantly made choice by Jas when under duress.
But in the NBA, where actions are judged not motives, such a Jas definitely deserves respect.
So, Qin Yue, who held the ball, imdiately called Curry to co over for a screen.
TNT TV Station, seeing this, Barkley laughed and said, "This is the Warriors' usual tactic for the season, changing the old basketball routine where the big guy would always screen for the smaller guy."
At the top of the arc, Curry's ghost screen was well-executed.
Because Jas's eyes never left Qin Yue for a mont, he failed to promptly help Harden in the delay, allowing Curry an easy perfect three-point shooting opportunity.
The next second, Curry ca up clutch, swish!
This defense, with the relatively reserved temperant of the Knicks' young trio, made Harden want to raise his hand to indicate it was he who lost Curry.
But before Harden could raise his hand...
At the sidelines, the always straightforward Westbrook jumped up, yelling anxiously at Jas, "Delay! Delay! Brown! You need to delay for your teammates!"
Delay?
If I choose to delay Curry, then should Qin Yue seize the opportunity to score right in front of , will you still criticize why Qin Yue scores so much under my defense?
In the past, Jas usually was the one singularly pressing his teammates and making them handle the bla...
Who would have thought he'd have a day when he would be concurrently pressured by his teammates?
At this mont, Jas even felt that even breathing air was sohow wrong.
This made him more frantic in his play, which further affected his offense.
On the periter, Jas's three-point shot missed.
Again, it was Qin Yue's rebound.
On the Knicks' bench, Igoda could only helplessly spread his hands at Jas.
That expression, that posture, clearly saying:
