Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 559 - 185: Unstoppable Warriors, Return to the Peak (Overnight 10,000 Word Update, Begging for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!)_3
Seeing this, Brown said with uncontrollable joy, "Even though I know what you’re saying is true, I’m a black man, how can Achilles be played by a black man?"
Qin Yue shook his head and said, "Why should your skin color prevent you from playing Achilles? That’s blatant discrimination! And since it’s a movie, what’s wrong with a bit of artistic enhancement? If I had the chance, I’d damn well want to play Napoleon!"
Undoubtedly, if one day in the future, Brown runs for President of the United States, it would definitely be the confidence given to him by Qin Yue.
At the American Airlines Center, the game continued.
During Nowitzki’s break, in order to prove he wasn’t useless, Terry repeatedly scored 7 points for the Mavericks.
"SHIT!" Furthermore, as he passed the Warriors’ bench, Terry deliberately made a gun gesture, "Did you see this gun in my hand? I’m a killer; if I want, I can fire anytime!"
Originally, at this moment, Terry just wanted to interact with Qin Yue.
Qin Yue was also ready to respond to Terry.
However, unfortunately, in the NBA, the gun gesture is also a prohibited action.
Thus, Terry gleefully received a technical foul.
"SHIT!" Terry was extremely dissatisfied with this, "At this rate, the NBA is destined to become filled with a bunch of well-behaved kids!"
Qin Yue wholeheartedly agreed with Terry’s view.
Because the NBA in later years...
Indeed felt like there were more and more well-behaved kids, and fewer and fewer players with distinctive personalities. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, for this impartial penalty from the referee, Qin Yue still had to give a thumbs up.
On the court, Terry, who was in good form initially, after this technical foul, seemed to lose his soul and fell into a frequent bricking trap.
Meanwhile, Curry, who found his shooting touch through a technical foul free throw, repeatedly hit two difficult catch-and-shoot drift three-pointers for the Warriors.
In an ordinary team, unreasonable shot selections like Curry’s would definitely be strictly prohibited.
But since Curry plays for the Warriors, who have become even crazier because of Qin Yue, according to Qin Yue and Ma Long’s perspective:
As long as Curry’s threes aren’t blocked, once he crosses half-court, he can shoot however he wants.
Perhaps, compared to Curry from the same historical period...
This life’s Curry may not get as much playing time as in Qin Yue’s memory.
However, in this season’s limited playing time, this baby-faced assassin with an unlimited license to shoot is equally growing rapidly.
In the second quarter, both Qin Yue and Nowitzki, returning to the court, started to take over the game with their signature moves.
The hot-handed King Nowitzki, in consecutive three games, gave the impression that he was like a German War Chariot crossing the Arden Forest, speeding forward with unstoppable momentum.
And Qin Yue?
Under Marion’s relentless defense, facing the expanded Mavericks defense to resolve the Warriors’ high-efficiency outside shooting, Qin Yue was like that J-20 fighter, hyped by the chairperson that could never debut, repeatedly leaping above the Mavericks’ defensive zone, maintaining absolute air supremacy.
Compared to his peak times, with age, Marion hated that his athletic ability was not as good as before.
Otherwise, with the "Qin Yue’s Law" to aid in defense, how could the dignified hacker be forced into such a passive position by Qin Yue?
At halftime, the score was 67 to 61.
Looking up at the technical statistics on the scoreboard for both teams, Marion said with a face full of despair, "Hell! If Dirk scores 24 points for us at halftime and we’re still behind, then we really might get swept."
During the halftime break, all Mavericks players were very aware that in the first half, they had basically done their utmost.
Yet based on the previous two games’ experiences...
The Mavericks players also knew that the Warriors had far from reached their limit.
"It’s all Jason’s fault!"
In the home team’s locker room, turning their gaze towards Jason Kidd, Marion said with extreme resentment, "The Warriors’ point guard position is obviously their biggest defensive weakness, yet our lead guard can’t punish them with offense!"
Hearing this, Jason Kidd retorted back at Marion, "Shut up, I’m a traditional point guard! Do you even understand what a traditional point guard is?"
Seeing this, Mavericks head coach Woodson had no choice but to step in to stop the drama that kept recurring in the Mavericks throughout the season.
Unlike during "Little General" Johnson’s era.
Compared to the strictly disciplined Mavericks, who lacked communication and interaction during halftime, the Mavericks led by Woodson were clearly more vibrant.
In Woodson’s view, disputes between players aren’t always a bad thing.
Because being able to argue over things happening on the court instead proves this is a team full of energy.
It’s just that...
At this moment, Marion’s complaint also reminded Woodson.
"We do need to strengthen the roster to beat these Warriors."
Woodson knew clearly that during Qin Yue’s injury recovery, the Warriors had rebuilt a dominating championship team.
So, to defeat the Warriors, the Mavericks must strengthen the center and guard positions.
They need a more capable sweeping, athletic talent center to protect the paint.
And need a player at the point guard position who can penetrate the Warriors’ guard weaknesses.
As for this round of the Western Conference Semifinals?
Looking at the undaunted Mavericks players in the locker room, not demoralized by the Warriors...
Woodson knew, compared to figuring out how to beat the Warriors, the immediate thing to consider was how to avoid getting swept by them.
The third game ended, 126 to 111.
The Warriors won three games in a row, leading the series 3-0 against the Mavericks.
This Western Conference Semifinals, as the Warriors truly started to take the game seriously, their dominant offensive firepower of the current era deeply shocked every fan in front of their TV.
"The Warriors have extended their regular season dominance into the playoffs." On TNT TV Station, Barkley commented on the Warriors’ playoff performance so far, "I think this team, with the most outstanding players, is ready to return to the top this season."
