Meanwhile, seeing the Heat trying to protect O'Neal through zone defense, Qin Yue couldn't help but feel infuriated.

Because back then, who was it that boasted arrogantly that zone defense would ruin the NBA?

Could that person really be O'Neal himself?

In Qin Yue's memory, when the NBA first introduced zone defense, O'Neal had criticized it more than once as a stupid rule.

But at this moment...

Looking at O'Neal who comfortably hid behind the protective zone defense of the four other Heat players...

Qin Yue couldn't see any hatred for the zone rule from his expression at all.

Rather than hatred, O'Neal seemed to thoroughly enjoy the protection the zone defense offered him.

But, so what if it's zone defense?

On the court, Qin Yue dribbled to the free-throw line, and at the moment of a fake hand-off pass with Artest, he suddenly spun and accelerated.

At this instant, the usually lazy-in-defense O'Neal had no time to react.

The next second...

Without giving Haslem a chance to assist on defense, Qin Yue drove deep into the Heat's territory, and after gliding in the air, smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

This gliding dunk instantly ignited the whole arena.

On the sidelines, noticing Qin Yue's fiery temper tonight, Little Deng Liwei boldly speculated: "It seems... he still hasn't gotten over that Christmas game."

Hearing this, Brown, who served as a substitute tonight, curiously asked, "Mike, what do you mean?"

Little Deng Liwei sighed deeply and said: "Haven't you noticed? Ever since that Christmas game, our Messiah has been holding back a lot of anger."

Brown thoughtfully said: "Is it because his good brother was able to farm stats during garbage time and he chose not to?"

Little Deng Liwei rolled his eyes at Brown and said: "Messiah probably doesn't care about the course of that game, but rather what happened after."

Brown asked puzzled: "What happened after?"

Little Deng Liwei explained: "After that game, because he couldn't speak honestly during the interview, he was obviously very unhappy."

Brown had a sudden realization and said: "No wonder he's been taking his temper out on me lately."

Little Deng Liwei nodded and said: "Although our Messiah never kicks someone when they're down after a game, he dislikes being constrained even more.

I think, for various reasons that day, after being forced to constrain himself, he was more miserable than anyone.

As a result, who would have thought that it would be Shaquille O'Neal who just so happened to bump into his line of fire?"

Seeing this, Brown turned his gaze back to the court and said: "Mike, do you think we should hold a moment of silence for Shaquille O'Neal?"

A moment of silence?

There's no need for that at all.

Indeed, due to a bad mood, and ever since New Year's January, Qin Yue has been in power-saving mode.

So, in a sense, he indeed needed a game to unleash himself.

But...

Tonight, O'Neal absolutely deserved what was coming to him.

On the court, the ball was back with the Heat.

Staring directly at O'Neal, who he thought did not deserve Jovan Buha's praise, Qin Yue shouted to his teammates: "Keep a close eye on 'D-Wade', don't worry about anyone else."

He's anxious now.

At this moment, O'Neal was truly anxious.

Because no matter how much he wanted to restrain it, he couldn't allow a rookie to provoke him again and again.

Even if...

Every word Qin Yue said tonight was the truth.

On the side, Wade also noticed O'Neal voluntarily positioning low.

Even though according to Riley's pre-game plan, O'Neal should actively pull up to give Wade a screen, and let Wade use his speed to create defensive chaos in the Warriors' paint, but...

On the court, Wade still chose to lob the ball to O'Neal.

In the low post, O'Neal, having received the ball, immediately launched an offense against Qin Yue.

However, the fantasy of mountains collapsing didn't occur, because where was his unparalleled courage from back in the day?

At this moment, he was nothing more than a center who had to be forced onto a treadmill by Riley during the regular season, whipped with a leather strap to understand the importance of losing weight.

A man living perpetually in delusion, thinking he could still lift mountains, but was already aging and reliant on Wade's desperate drives and star whistles to barely reclaim the throne as a king.

Yes, in history, the 05/06 Finals was nothing less than a solitary hero act by Wade during the Finals.

In that ultimate showdown against the Dallas Mavericks, during the G2 game, when Wade relentlessly attacked the Mavericks' camp, what was O'Neal's response? It was his single-digit scoring performance in one game of the Finals!

In the paint, facing O'Neal's aggressive post-up move, the Warriors didn't even need Qin Yue, the team's head of the family, to risk a foul.

For as O'Neal, dragging his ever-slowing strides, completed his spin, Murphy had already returned to help on defense and successfully pulled him down.

On the court, noticing O'Neal glaring at Murphy, Qin Yue directly stepped forward and stood between O'Neal and Murphy, saying: "If you have the ability, make the free throws, if not, you have to admit you're a waste."

Hearing this, looking at Qin Yue, for a moment, O'Neal really wanted to punch him.

But as the bandit members on the Warriors' bench stood up and Artest and Richardson both stood behind Qin Yue, O'Neal obediently made his way to the free-throw line.

Clang——!

Clang——!

Following this, unable to calm down, O'Neal unsurprisingly missed both free throws.

And on the sidelines, Riley, who never humored O'Neal at moments like this, instantly took on the persona of a farmer.
