Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 414 - 138: It’s Mine Now, and It Will Be Mine in the Future (10,000-Word Compilation, Begging for Subscription and Monthly Tickets!)_4
Now.
This moment.
Always helpful, Qin Yue decided to help Cleveland face reality in his own way—his good brother was never the savior of this city of failure.
At the top of the arc, as swift as a leopard, Qin Yue easily dribbled past Gooden’s defense.
It was a breeze brushing past.
Just as Gooden turned his head, he saw Eric Snow standing resolutely under the basket, ready to face his doom.
Snow shouldn’t have been standing there.
But he was anyway.
Snow is just a 190 cm tall point guard.
He had many reasons not to be in the restricted area.
But after noticing James’ indifferent defense, Snow appeared in the Cavaliers’ paint without hesitation.
In the moment Qin Yue leaped, Snow didn’t dodge.
He raised his arms that could never possibly interfere with Qin Yue.
Unlike many players who are unwilling to serve the Cavaliers.
Snow, born in a small town called Canton, Ohio, passionately loves Cleveland.
Throughout his career, Snow has been known for his strong defense.
But his defense is neither rough nor involves any petty actions.
So...
The moment Qin Yue’s massive body came crashing towards him, Snow calmly accepted it all.
BOOM——!
The next second, Snow was blasted out of bounds by Qin Yue.
This was a two-hand slam, no less shocking than a peak O’Neal dunk.
Then, Snow calmly got up from the floor.
Then, with eyes brimming with determination, he told Qin Yue:
——Cleveland, not everyone will kneel before this king.
At least, Eric Snow will fight for this city until the last second.
In the second quarter, Qin Yue’s bloody massacre of Cleveland continued.
To prevent him from easily scoring, Gooden received his fourth personal foul before halftime.
On the court, it’s the Warriors’ offensive possession.
Seeing Pavlovic voluntarily rotating towards him, Qin Yue backed him down, turned, and scored a layup, pushing his personal score of the game to 44 points.
At halftime, 70 to 41.
In the first game of the finals, the Warriors had already dug a hole for the Cavaliers, and now they were just a half away from holding a "funeral" for them.
After halftime, James hit two consecutive three-pointers for the Cavaliers in the second half.
Artest, who was driven "fearful" by his penetration in the first half, decided to let him shoot.
So...
James responded to Artest’s defense with these two "Bald Lion Cold Arrows."
"I admit it, he’s indeed harder to guard than Kobe."
On the court, Artest said, looking frustrated.
Back to the Warriors’ possession.
After hitting four free throws, bringing his personal score of the game to 48 points, Qin Yue, who missed two consecutive shots, decisively used a teammate’s pick to cut to the basket.
Seeing this, Davis made a timely brilliant pass, helping Qin Yue slam a one-handed dunk for his 50th personal point.
On TNT TV, Barkley couldn’t help but sigh: "He’s redefining my understanding of scoring... the Cavaliers’ proud defense is as fragile as paper in front of him."
Smith nodded in agreement: "I think he has once again proven he has a historical-level scoring ability in the playoffs."
On the scene, when Qin Yue, who had already scored 50 points for the Warriors, crossed the half-court again, a child no older than five suddenly let out a heart-rending wail!
This little fan in a Cavaliers’ number 23 jersey perhaps couldn’t understand basketball yet.
But he knew very well... that devil in a Warriors’ number 30 jersey was wreaking havoc on his home team.
Clang——!
The next second, borrowing Brown’s screen, cutting through the middle, after receiving the pass, Qin Yue raised his hand high and dunked with a one-handed "lifting the cauldron," scoring his personal 52nd point.
In the stands, the originally quiet home crowd clearly resonated with that wail.
The camera then zoomed in on each crying Cavaliers fan.
To this, Barkley commented: "This might be the saddest and most painful finals journey in NBA history."
Qin Yue, two possessions later, took advantage of Brown and Artest’s double screens to hit his 55th personal point from the left 45-degree angle.
On the Warriors’ bench, at this moment, compared to the joy of imminent victory, all the players unanimously sat up straight, eagerly anticipating Qin Yue’s next score.
Unlike last year’s first championship.
Because the Warriors believed the Cavaliers posed little threat to them, they were already prepared to win back-to-back championships since the West Conference Finals Game 7 ended.
On the sideline, Mike Malone, with the same nasty personality and a lack of sympathy for the fans, chuckled as he took a cup of coffee from the assistant coach’s hand: "Indeed, coffee is still more suitable for enjoying this kind of one-sided slaughter."
Quicken Loans Arena.
Qin Yue subsequently scored his 57th and 59th points with two catch-and-shoot jumpers.
The record of 61 points in a single finals game set by Elgin Baylor in 1962 is nearly within reach.
Commentators from around the world held their breaths, ready to announce the new NBA Finals single-game scoring record to the basketball world at any time.
At this scene, Qin Yue didn’t keep fans, experts, and journalists waiting long.
After James hit a somewhat lucky top-of-the-arc banked three-pointer for the Cavaliers, Davis dribbled past the half-court.
