Do the Spurs dare to let Qin Yue keep shooting threes?

The answer came in the Warriors' next offensive round when Robert Horry responded to Qin Yue with rough actions that Crawford called a foul.

It turns out "Goodnight, Los Angeles" intimidated more than just Los Angeles People.

Because during the second conquest of Los Angeles, "Mayor of Los Angeles" Qin Yue had thoroughly demonstrated to the world how high his "Critical Strike Damage" truly was.

In this era, the Spurs have never feared players who score one step at a time on the court or need a few more steps to break through to the basket but are easily exhausted in the game.

They have always feared the sudden "high explosive injury" from the opposing team's superstar that could take them away in a wave.

Previously, this player was Qin Yue's nemesis Kobe.

Now, this player might very well be Kobe's nemesis, Qin Yue.

As Wade stated, Qin Yue often gives people the feeling that he seems like a bigger Kobe.

On the sidelines, at the Spurs' bench, Popovich immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Crawford's foul call against Horry for intensifying his defense with his roar.

"That's a damn foul? Do you want us to defend with our hands tied?"

The next second, watching Popovich turning into a hairdryer, Crawford calmly said, "Shut up, if you do it again, I'll directly call a technical foul on you."

On the court, Qin Yue, unapologetic despite profiting, taunted Popovich with his signature move, his uneven eyes (0.o), and then returned to continue the game.

At this moment, Popovich chose not to take Qin Yue seriously.

But he faintly sensed that the Spurs had been sanctioned by David Stern.

This made him increasingly irritable and uneasy.

Because he, always having a flexible moral bottom line, knew better than anyone else...

David Stern is the director of the NBA.

But before Popovich could finish his thoughts, on the court...

Horry had irrationally committed his second personal foul of the night.

In the process of Qin Yue driving the ball on the right side of the court, despite knowing that the referees were strict tonight, Horry brazenly hooked Qin Yue's arm.

To be honest, if this happened twenty years in the future, Horry could be penalized with a flagrant foul for such a rough defense.

Because "arm grabbing" is also a very disgusting move on the basketball court that could easily injure the attacking player.

Crawford did not tolerate Horry's behavior.

Qin Yue also didn't give face to the veteran Horry.

Instead, as the referee whistled, he used all his strength to directly fling Horry several meters away with his powerful arm.

Without a doubt, the action of Horry being flung by Qin Yue was absolutely an act.

But as Qin Yue turned his gaze toward him, he didn't give him a chance to continue acting, "You nomad who flatters whoever has championship chances, if you want to start a war, I don't mind ending your career tonight."

Upon hearing this, Horry initially thought he could, as in the past, use tricks to provoke the opponent's general and gain the opportunity to trade off.

But the next second, at the Warriors' bench, Mike Dunleavy immediately stood up with a stool.

As the light in his heart, Dunleavy wouldn't let Horry, such an unknown player, trade off with Qin Yue.

If Horry truly wished to do so, Dunleavy wouldn't mind attending another league safety lecture.

Seeing this, Crawford quickly stood between Qin Yue and Horry and said to Horry, "If you don't want to be ejected, you'd better shut up."

Next, Horry "obediently" shut up.

However, while being substituted by teammate Nestorovic due to two fouls...

He made a "silence" gesture while shaking his head as he returned to the Spurs bench.

During the first round of the playoffs, the whole Spurs team was dissatisfied with the referee's strict standards, so in Horry's slick view, he was merely conveying the Spurs' discontent to the league in his way.

But tonight, he not only chose the wrong opponent, but also...

His actions were equivalent to challenging the authority of the NBA and the judge on the court.

Almost as Qin Yue stepped onto the free throw line, Crawford had already communicated with the other two referees.

Good.

Since the San Antonio People believe Robert Horry's "arm grabbing" was favoritism towards the fouls, let's show them under the strictest and most standard measures, what their so-called tough defense truly is.

On the court, Qin Yue made both free throws.

Once back, successfully squeezing into the basket and scoring two points off the board for the Spurs, Duncan said to Qin Yue, "When you slow down, the restless energy will fade."

Qin Yue knows Duncan wanted to advise him not to lose his reason and act on impulse.

But, how could Qin Yue possibly be provoked by Horry's previous taunts?

Qin Yue is well aware that the Spurs are just such a team.

If you are affected by their playstyle, it only shows that you haven't trained enough.

In the Warriors' offensive round, Qin Yue proactively moved up to the wing to set a screen for the ball-holding Artest.

To quickly bypass the pick-and-roll, Bowen deliberately jabbed Qin Yue's waist with his elbow.

This is a tough move to spot, and usually, referees won't trouble Bowen for such level of physical contact.
