With Westbrook's brain that'd likely pay soone to pick cotton, how could he possibly be a match for Jas?
Moreover, the key to Jas' successful coup this ti is...
He understands Coach D'Antoni's thoughts far better than anyone else on this team.
Jas knows very well that, compared to Westbrook, D'Antoni has always favored Harden.
Therefore...
After he cald down first and found the right mont to step in, he instantly gained the support of the team's coach and his teammates, who had previously left him isolated in the first half with the Knicks.
That night, starting from the latter part of the third quarter, D'Antoni DNP'd Westbrook.
And in the second half, no matter what Jas' purpose was in comforting Iguodala...
That magnanimity, which left Iguodala ashad, won him more passes from the Knicks' main playmaker, Iguodala.
Additionally...
The "turtle strategy" that Jas had to adopt with Westbrook and Iguodala for the sake of maintaining a low profile also earned him a lot of goodwill from Durant.
After all...
In a basketball ga, if one side keeps spreading hands and complaining about teammates, while the other silently shoulders everything, even going so far as to console teammates with a positive image...
No matter who it is, they'll surely feel annoyed with the forr and agree with the latter.
Although, the coup that Jas initiated in the second half couldn't help the Knicks win on this night.
But who would have thought....
After the end of the first quarter, when Jas was almost at wit's end with the whole world, he could accomplish such a stunning coback off the court?
It just shows that no one's life should be easily given up on.
Final score, 108 to 135.
The Knicks suffered a crushing defeat in their first ga of the Finals against the Warriors on the road.
However, after the ga...
Jas, who revitalized himself through a coup in the second half, said in an interview: "This was a surprise encounter, the Warriors are a team with far more Finals experience than we are. I know our heavy defeat will dishearten the fans, but I believe we can showcase our style in the upcoming gas."
At the press conference, influenced subtly by Jas, D'Antoni, who felt the Knicks indeed needed a lineup change to match the Warriors' offensive power, said: "This ga doesn't reflect our true level because so of our young players made terrible offensive choices."
At this mont, D'Antoni was just shy of naming Westbrook directly.
And on the court, after being almost shut down by Qin Yue, who scored 48 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, 5 blocks, and 2 steals for the Warriors, Iguodala said: "Feel free to criticize , I know it's my poor defense that led to our heavy defeat."
When post-ga conscience-stricken Iguodala chose to voluntarily take the bla.
When Coach D'Antoni promised the dia he would try changing the Knicks' starting lineup for the next ga.
When even Durant thinks Westbrook should tone down his nonsense on offense and stop complaining about teammates.
Did you think Jas lost tonight?
No.
He won.
And he won big.
Even though he only scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Knicks in this Finals opener, it did nothing to dampen Jas' good mood.
Though the strong winds co, one should never give up on life!
"Have you noticed, your once-good... your once-close brother, is in an exceptionally good mood tonight?" After the ga, in the ho team's locker room, Brown looked at Qin Yue and asked.
Hearing this, unaware of what happened within the Knicks, Qin Yue replied: "I don't care about his mood, but, how do you know he's in a good mood?"
"Because typically, in the event of a big loss, he wouldn't accept interviews." Brown said, "But tonight, he not only accepted interviews, he even admitted the gap between you two."
Qin Yue was puzzled: "Does that an he's in a good mood?"
"I know him better than you do."
Brown said: "Trust , sothing significant must have happened within the Knicks, otherwise, knowing him, there's no way he'd be this happy."
Seeing this, Qin Yue chuckled.
Although he didn't agree with Brown's speculation.
But seeing Brown so confident, Qin Yue thought it was a real loss for the detective world that he never beca an investigator.
However, Qin Yue didn't know that...
Brown had indeed guessed the right answer.
"The Knicks choosing to DNP Russell from the third quarter was no coincidence."
Brown continued to speculate: "I think, in the next ga, they might replace Russell with Harden in the starting lineup and give LeBron more ball handling."
Qin Yue shook his head: "You're imagining things, Kwa."
"How about we make a bet?"
"What do you want to bet on?"
"If my guess is right, you have to be my bag carrier for a night and tie my shoelaces."
"No problem."
