Just, who made Big Gasol turned into sensitive skin by Qin Yue?

It's like the future, the "must win" Indians can't bear hearing their newly bought plane was shot down.

At this moment, only Big Gasol knows how much harm Little Gasol's long sigh has caused him.

Thus, Brown unsurprisingly became the target of Big Gasol's anger.

On the court, in this cycle where something always overcomes something else, in the Western Conference Finals.

Only in front of Brown can Big Gasol feel he lives with dignity, using Little Gasol's pick-and-roll to successfully get Brown switched onto himself.

Then, a back probe and a turn-in.

In the Warriors Forbidden Area, facing the somewhat angry and embarrassed Big Gasol, Brown could do nothing but watch helplessly as the opponent scored in front of him.

However, thankfully, even if beaten a hundred times by the opponent, Brown will not get downcast.

After all, Big Gasol has his magnificent back techniques, and Brown has his unique mental victory method.

Like this ball, in Brown's eyes, he successfully defended against Big Gasol once. ๐˜ง๐“‡๐‘’๐‘’๐‘คโ„ฏ๐‘๐“ƒ๐˜ฐ๐‘ฃโ„ฏ๐˜ญ.๐˜คโ„ด๐˜ฎ

What, you ask where's the success?

That's certainly...

Technical statistics and the actual game scene cannot reflect Brown's value.

Yes, in Brown's mind, Big Gasol has already paid a heavy price for this one-on-one:

โ€” His internal organs surely suffered very serious injuries.

...

First quarter, Staples Center, in the past two games, Qin Yue would always set the tone for the team in the opening stages, and his performance in this match remained outstanding.

And this point was also reflected by Jenna rising from the sidelines to show her long legs for the GOAT.

But as the first quarter ended, the visiting Warriors were trailing 31 to 35.

Because this night, back at their home Staples Center, and gaining the "Whistle Power" bonus, the Lakers took 12 free throws in just one quarter.

On the court, Kobe, who received the league's emergency "update" and gained "air wall" enhancement in Western Conference 2.0 version, was practically lethal to anyone who came into contact.

Regarding this, long used to it, Qin Yue did not blame the referee's decision.

He just gently greeted the family of the three referees officiating this match.

And in the second quarter, JR Smith, originally held high hopes by Qin Yue, became the one to continue putting pressure on the GOAT.

During Qin Yue's rest, JR could not find the "Jordan form" switch button, totaling 0 out of 5 shots and committing three errors that could make a mark in the Top 5 Embarrassments.

On the court, the Lakers took the opportunity to expand their lead.

And before Qin Yue returned to the court, the score changed to 34 to 51.

This was the most the Lakers have led the Warriors so far in this Western Conference Finals.

At Los Angeles on-site, this even caused many Lakers fans to shout "You're done for!" as Qin Yue and Curry teamed up to re-enter the court.

Done for?

Staples Center, merely by exchanging a glance, Qin Yue and Curry got the answers they wanted from each other's eyes.

To date, including the playoffs, Qin Yue in his NBA career has completed 68 single-quarter "20+" performances.

And Curry?

Sorry, in Qin Yue's memory, Curry is the NBA's single-quarter "20+" king.

Thus, when you face this Warriors team which both Qin Yue and Curry are part of...

No matter when, the consequence of opening champagne in advance will undoubtedly be severe.

On the court, in the first play after teaming up again with Curry, Qin Yue completed a clever pick-and-roll with Curry on the outside.

Near the top arc, dribbling with a left cross and right retreat.

Only to see Curry steady the team with a three-pointer first.

Then in the next play, again from the Qin-Curry combo's pick-and-roll cooperation.

The difference, however, was this time the player responsible for the finish was Qin Yue.

Ball on the right side, Qin Yue pulled up for a three after a pick-and-roll bounce and hit it.

And it forced the Lakers to call for a timeout.

Two plays, cutting 6 points.

One can say, realizing the possibility of the Qin-Curry combo going wild, the timeout Mike Brown requested at the technical bench was timely.

But...

After the timeout ended, Lakers fans who were excited just moments ago witnessed Qin Yue intercepting Paul during a strong delay.

Don't get it, ask, who just said the Warriors are done for?

In Lakers half-court, Qin Yue powered through for a full-court fast-break score.

Scoreboard, 42 to 51.

Seeing this, knowing the Warriors' momentum in chasing points has begun, Kobe intended to step up for the Lakers to steady the situation.

But the instant Kobe's picturesque fadeaway missed the rim, Qin Yue, who secured the rebound for the Warriors, instantly launched a transition offense.

On the court, Curry, who was responsible for running up was already waiting at the three-point line.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qin Yue didn't hesitate in the slightest.

In the next second, Curry accepted Qin Yue's assist and nailed another three.

45 to 51.

On TNT TV station, Barkley, who originally was discussing with O'Neal about how the Warriors should chase points in the second half, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Too scary, that's the Warriors' ability to chase points..."

After a pause, Barkley added, "From trailing by 17 points to trailing by 6 points, who would have thought, the Warriors only took a minute and a half?"

Beside him, O'Neal said, "So, against this Warriors team, you really can't let up for a second."

At Los Angeles on-site, previously daring to provoke Qin Yue and Curry, fans were all turning on quiet mode.

And in Staples Center, before the first half ended, accompanied by Qin Yue's buzzer mid-range shot, the scoreboard also rewrote to 57 to 58.

Lakers' original 17-point lead shrank to just 1 point.

Half-time, Warriors coach Ma Long responsible for interviews said: "Panic? No, even at the stage where we were trailing by 17 points, no panic occurred. Because we all know, the Lakers could only lead because Messiah and Stephen were still resting on the sideline."

This night, possessing the ace cards, Qin Yue and Curry, Ma Long really wasn't like the calm he claimed.

Especially during the moment when Warriors trailed the Lakers by 17 points...

If Hollins remembers correctly, what Ma Long said then was clearly Warriors could already start thinking about the fourth game strategy.

Just Qin Yue and Curry's joint explosive factor momentarily erased the score difference between Warriors and Lakers.

Thus granting Ma Long the opportunity to pose during halftime.

After halftime, in the second half, the Lakers players who lost their great situation showed a distinct psychological wave.

Until Klay consistently hit two threes for the Lakers, this team standing on the edge of a cliff barely stabilized.

As a player with historical-level shooting talent, Klay, who couldn't repeatedly transform into a brickmaker, undoubtedly showcased his grand manner in this match again.

But Warriors, who already gained momentum, still expanded their lead to double digits in the third quarter's second half.

Entering the final quarter, not daring to let Kobe rest, Lakers coach Brown had no choice but to hope Lakers could display their resilience like the Warriors did in the first half.

However, until Qin Yue re-entered the court, Lakers still couldn't erase their score gap with Warriors.

Because in this match, Livingston, who continued his excellent form from the previous game, transformed again into the X-factor in the Warriors camp.

Whole game, Livingston totaled 10 points all scored in the fourth quarter.

Single quarter 10 points.

On the court, as long as targeting Paul, Livingston could earn Warriors two points, even enjoying treatments during the final quarter usually only Qin Yue gets.

Final score, 117 to 106.

This night, the Warriors later surpassed thoroughly shattered the confidence of all Lakers fans at Staples Center.

Because now, the overall score of this Western Conference Finals has come to three versus zero.

Prior to the start of the Western Conference Finals, believing Warriors needed patience to gnaw at Lakers' hard bone, Qin Yue also didn't expect...

To take a shortcut and yet forced to travel the long way first, the Warriors would obtain this Western Conference Finals match point so smoothly.

"That's basketball, a sport where if you only think of taking shortcuts, you might go astray, but choose to walk a little further, you might experience a different view."

...

PS: Today certainly there will be an extra chapter, but it might come a bit later, Ah Qiao strives to write it as soon as possible after a sleep. (Besides, first apologize to fans of Inter Milan, honestly, Ah Qiao also didn't expect the pre-game optimistic situation to be the victim of "Mbappe's formula" TnT)
