Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 86: Chief Power Forward! (Nearly 10000-word chapter additional update for the 10000 member alliance of East Street Old Cat)_5


In the second half, the Spurs proactively adjusted their defensive setup, no longer employing the "one-on-four" defense.

Because with the golden wave beginning to roll, the Spurs had to unite the "GDP."

During the game, Davis still had no answer for Parker.

But Brown, who was sent back on the court by the Warriors, used his stamina advantage to repeatedly block Parker's rim attacks after switching defense.

On the court, during the Warriors' defensive play, facing Parker, who was attempting to trick him with a fake move, the staggered Brown didn't fall for it and closely followed Parker. In the split second he went for a floater, Brown intercepted it directly!

On the sidelines, completely disregarding Parker's 18 points for the Spurs in the first half, Popovich cursed, "I knew that damn French softy couldn't be relied on!"

Parker couldn't be relied on...

Popovich then turned his deeply affectionate gaze towards Ginobili.

But having been super god-like for four and a half games, Ginobili couldn't find the switch named "Vulture Descent" in the second half.

Clang——!

Clang——!

On the Spurs bench, watching Ginobili's inexplicable fall-back into iron, Popovich raged, "I knew Argentines couldn't be relied on!"

With Parker and Ginobili both lost, Popovich's last hope lay with Duncan and those other role players who had repeatedly stepped up for the Spurs in the past.

Having been "sacrificed" for two and a half games by the Spurs, Duncan frequently rushed down in the second half to participate in the team's transition offense.

He scored many brilliant goals but couldn't turn the tide.

As for the other Spurs role players?

Are Artest, Richardson, Davis, Deng Liwei, Murphy just eating nothing at the Warriors?

ESPN, and even Van Gundy, could feel just how fierce the Warriors' offense was, "The Warriors used three-pointers to break the game. Now the Spurs can't stop Messiah from impacting this game with his explosive creativity."

At the end, 120 to 101.

Throughout the game, Qin Yue scored a total of 38 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal, once again leading the Warriors to conquer the ATT Center.

Now, they will return to Oakland with a 3-2 lead.

After the game, in Van Gundy's view, the league should indeed award the regular season MVP to Qin Yue this year.

Because if they did...

At least he could study how Qin Yue, resistant to the Spurs' tough defense, applies his explosive creativity.

Unlike the Van Gundy who always seemed farsighted when commenting.

As soon as the game ends, Van Gundy immediately reverts to that conflicted, forever frowning Van Gundy.

Van Gundy doesn't know if Qin Yue's explosive creativity can still be effective in tougher games, he's curious about it and also maintains doubts.

And this doubt and curiosity once again started to drive him crazy, from already being certain that Qin Yue was his future self.

However, unlike Van Gundy, the reporters and fans won't get caught up.

This series, despite numerous objective factors affecting its balance, but at this moment, no fan doubts that Qin Yue personally ended Tim Duncan's era.

A day later.

The sixth game of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Warriors and the Spurs is held at Oracle Arena.

The Spurs, pushed to the brink, start strong with Parker taking the lead.

In this series, Parker, who averaged 26 points for the Spurs in the previous five games, was scolded every night, but every night he tormented Davis's knees.

For this, Brown, who had been comforted by Davis in the game, consoled the first-generation Mr. Big Beard before the game, "Don't worry, Barang, next round you're going to face Steve Nash in the Western Finals."

Brown's pre-game consolation showed the Warriors' determination to stride boldly into the Western Finals and reflected the joyful and pleasant atmosphere within the Warriors.

An even more relaxed mindset allowed the Warriors' outside shooters to quickly find their touch in this sixth game.

On the court, Richardson fired first.

Since Tom Izzo had already promised to come watch his former pupil's performance before the Western Finals, Richardson undoubtedly had an extra sense of certainty in his shots, to reunite with his mentor.

Next, Artest made a three-pointer in the following Warriors' offensive round.

Compared to Richardson, Artest didn't have so much certainty.

But always self-proclaimed as "Qin Yue Pippen," he wanted more than anyone to escort Qin Yue to ascend the throne.

In these months with Qin Yue, Artest thoroughly understood Qin Yue's personality, and he knew that assisting this new king ascension could very well be the highlight of his career.

In the first quarter, the Warriors' two wing players' hot touch drove Popovich on the sidelines to collapse.

Actually, in this series, the Spurs had another way to advance.

But Popovich never dared to use that way, not even dare trying.

In Oracle Arena, Qin Yue didn't waste the precious space his teammates provided him, disrupting the Spurs' defense completely, whether through jump shots or driving to the basket.

On this night, the floater Parker threw in for the Spurs at the start of the game was their only lead during the game.

In the game, the Warriors practically shot the Spurs to death.

No longer "sacrificed" by the Spurs, Duncan accumulated 27 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal in this game.
