"Dwight, didn't anyone teach you how to set a pick in Orlando?"
Jas looked at Howard in confusion and said, "Do you know you didn't even properly block the player?"
Hearing this, Howard thought to himself "I did set the pick, yet you still bla for not doing it right," and silently cursed Jas in his heart as "an annoying old dog."
Though considering Jas's age, Howard should have called him a little dog.
But just like in Qin Yue's mory.
Even if it ans temporarily swallowing his pride...
This giant baby, who always had his own ideas, was not willing to serve as a dog for his teammates.
This is Dwight Howard.
In the sa era, even Kobe and Harden could only lant, if this dumb dog had any brains at all, would he be so completely clueless?
Madison Square Garden, a Warriors' offensive play.
Standing at the arc top, initiating a 4-5 pick-and-roll, Qin Yue originally just wanted to create a scoring opportunity for his teammates through his pick-and-roll with Brown.
However, when Qin Yue noticed that Howard dared to gamble that he wouldn't shoot, neglecting to step up and disrupt, Qin Yue imdiately changed his mind.
The next second, he gathered the ball and took a confident jump shot.
There was not a hint of hesitation.
The three-pointer that Qin Yue shot from the top of the arc drew a beautiful arc in the air before swishing cleanly through the Knicks' basket.
On the court, Jas spread his arms and kept pressuring Howard, saying, "Interrupt, interrupt, damn it! How can you let him shoot like that?"
Seeing this, Howard wanted to argue for himself...
He only wanted to test Qin Yue's shooting touch like he used to do in Orlando.
But the Howard of today is not the sa as before, and he was destined to accumulate dissatisfaction with this team quietly and forbearingly.
The Knicks' turn to attack.
Having gradually grasped the new NBA rules on dribbling and traveling, Harden used a highly controversial step-back to shake off Nash from the periter.
Undoubtedly, it was a step-back that danced on the edge of the rules.
From the left wing at a forty-five-degree angle, Harden knocked down the three-pointer after shaking off Nash.
And on-site...
With Harden responding to Qin Yue's earlier shot with this Answer.Ball, the entire arena erupted into a frenzy.
At this mont, as a player who couldn't stand too much noise in a hostile environnt, Qin Yue swiftly crossed half-court with large strides, actively called for the ball, and once again initiated a 4-5 pick-and-roll with Brown near the top of the arc.
In this play, Howard's disruption was tily.
However, treating his teammate as "Martial Saint" Jackson, Howard clearly overestimated Jas's help defense capability.
Thus, at the mont Howard was about to return to his position, exploiting the lack of coordination between Howard and Jas, Qin Yue swiftly pierced through the Knicks' entire defense.
On the court, Jas was about to spread his arms again.
Because when Qin Yue, with unstoppable montum, bulldozed past Howard and rushed into the Knicks' restricted area, asserting dominance on their basket...
Jas couldn't understand why Howard was so lax in guarding Qin Yue?
However, Jas might not believe it if told.
Howard also didn't understand why, after he had secured sufficient help defense ti for Jas, Jas chose to stand and watch?
Under the continuous pressure from his teammates.
When Howard believed he had done his best in this defensive play.
This dumb dog, who had temporarily chosen to be low-key and forbearing, had already reached the tipping point of his dissatisfaction with the team.
Howard was fed up with the world.
And carrying this growing resentnt...
Howard still had to continue enduring.
Yet, unlike last season with Jas.
Howard's vision and intelligence determined that he was destined not to endure like Jas did.
So, since he couldn't endure...
How could Howard possibly choose to endure again and again?
