No matter what...

The Knights must respond to the Warriors on the court with their performance!

At Oracle Arena, the battle drum has sounded.

In the center of the court, with ten players standing in position.

This battle of destiny immediately unveiled its veil.

Tonight, the Knights fielded a starting lineup of Zydrunas, Gooden, James, Hughes, and Damon Jones.

After learning from their first matchup, Mike Brown proved the value of being named "NBA Coach of the Year" even without LeBron.

Compared to Snow, James certainly needed the three-point firepower that Jones provided at this moment.

In Qin Yue's past life, due to his endorsement with Li Ning, Jones's popularity in China at the time was even higher than many NBA stars.

Throughout his career, Damon Jones had an impressive 39% three-point shooting accuracy.

However, as a point guard mainly relying on three-point shooting, Jones's strengths were as obvious as his weaknesses.

That is, while his three-point shooting was accurate, his lack of dribbling and shooting skills along with his poor defense often made him a "liability" on the court.

Therefore...

Brown's decision to gamble on starting Jones tonight was actually a move born out of necessity.

Because despite the unique characteristics of the "LeBron First Era" Knights players, they indeed lacked the shooting capability of the "LeBron Second Era."

Compared to the Knights, with Richardson recovering from injury before the Christmas showdown, the Warriors fielded their strongest starting lineup of Brown, Qin Yue, Artest, Richardson, and Davis tonight.

Truth be told, whether in the past life or this life, Chris Mullin certainly surpassed the majority of NBA general managers of his era in terms of team-building strategy.

Since this "God's Left Hand" was famous for his superb shooting during his playing days...

From the Mullin era to the Stephen Curry era, the Golden State Warriors have always valued players' shooting abilities when building a team.

The rise of the Warriors in history was certainly no accident.

Because Mullin and old Nelson had already validated the importance of three-point shooting in basketball through the Golden State Gang.

Indeed...

The Golden State Warriors in Qin Yue's memory, pulled off the "We Believe" in the 06/07 season due to their extreme three-point shooting.

In that playoff series, even with Pietrus shooting only 20% from three-point range, old Nelson demanded he take the shots decisively on the court.

On the court, after the jump ball, Warriors had possession.

Brown, who had been pummeled by Artest in training, didn't give Zydrunas another chance to "plot against" him during the jump ball, firmly winning the opening possession for the Warriors.

Then, with the original Mr. Big Beard guiding the traffic, Qin Yue claimed an excellent isolation opportunity on the right side of the court.

Through a cross screen with Brown, Qin Yue successfully switched the slower-moving Zydrunas in front of him.

So...

In the next second, Qin Yue decisively attacked the basket against Zydrunas.

As the so-called half of the final two-and-a-half centers in the league, according to O'Neal, Zydrunas knew he couldn't stop Qin Yue's breakthrough, so he could only grab onto Qin Yue as he tried to go past him.

However...

Due to Zydrunas's relatively gentle nature, he didn't go rough, inadvertently giving Qin Yue a chance to showcase his talent.

On the court, before losing his balance, Qin Yue forced the ball to the basket.

Bam——!

Dong, Dong, Dong, Swish!

In the Knights' restricted area, Qin Yue, lying past the baseline, successfully completed the Warriors' opening attack, and it also turned into an and-one play, granting Qin Yue a chance for a free throw.

But...

At Oracle Arena, in the next second, the fans who were just cheering for Qin Yue's and-one suddenly fell silent.

Because after hitting the ground...

Their Messiah seemed to "wash away," not standing up for a long time.

Could it be, could it be...

Did Qin Yue get injured?

At that moment, the initially aggrieved Zydrunas, who had just grabbed Qin Yue, also got "surrounded" by Artest and others.

To be honest...

Zydrunas's defense just now could definitely be described as clean.

However...

As he flew to the baseline, Qin Yue, always having an eye for beauty, noticed an extremely attractive and well-shaped Chinese cheerleader from the Warriors...

So, falling into the cheerleader's embrace after hitting the ground, Qin Yue could only use his acting skills to lie on her lap for a few more seconds.

"Don't move... it hurts!"

Furthermore, when the Chinese cheerleader and her teammates tried to help him up, Qin Yue, with unintentional fake movements, brushed against her ample "assets" and said with a painful expression.

At that moment, the Chinese cheerleader dared not move!

Because now, lying in her arms was the Messiah of the Bay Area!

Moreover...

What's wrong with Qin Yue taking advantage and flirting?

It's known that today, the number of pretty girls wanting Qin Yue to flirt with them...

Could stretch from South Heavenly Gate all the way to East Penglai Road.

At Oracle Arena, only after lying around for an enjoyable time did Qin Yue finally push against the various soft spots on the Chinese cheerleader and "slowly and painfully" get up.

"Are you okay?"

Meanwhile, the Warriors' players and medical staff immediately rushed over, asking with great concern.
