Has Chris Paul been kidnapped?

On the court, Paul, facing Deron who was trying to back him down, was utterly helpless and seemed like a golden hamster at his mercy.

Bam, bam.

Though the truth is often hard to accept, in Qin Yue's eyes, Deron's second drive against Paul was somewhat unnecessary.

Because when he backed down against Paul the first time, Paul had already completely lost his defensive position.

On the right half-court, Deron spun and slipped to the basket, scoring with a layup.

This solo play score by the star player greatly encouraged the Illinois fans still fighting with the team inside the Edward Jones Dome.

Yet the Warriors fans rejoiced for less than ten seconds before Qin Yue hit a mid-range jump shot after continuous cross dribbling in the next offensive round.

On the sidelines, James, who had been teasing Paul, gestured Qin Yue's shooting motion while saying to Anthony, "Melo... have you noticed, Qin has a jump shot as smooth as yours."

Hearing this, Anthony quickly tidied his hairstyle and said, "I have the same feeling... especially his jumping posture, it's just like another me."

Jumping straight up with balanced posture was Anthony's signature move.

This technique is very useful whether for a pull-up jumper in a triple-threat position or for a shooting connection while holding the ball.

In the NBA, the difficulty of many technical moves does not lie in how hard they are to achieve.

But whether the person using these techniques has the corresponding qualities.

Just now, Anthony himself might not have noticed, he inadvertently gave Qin Yue an extremely high evaluation.

"He should be the best player integrating human-ball among the players I've seen... who are 6 feet 11 inches tall," Barkley summarized on the VIP stand, quite far from Anthony at this moment.

Strong core strength and back strength are certainly the key to maintaining Qin Yue's straight up-jump, vertical balance.

But to quickly connect a shot while dribbling...

Qin Yue's 6 feet 11 inches body must possess far superior balance, coordination, flexibility, and fluency, and stability in ball handling than ordinary people.

Using the most intuitive visualized data provided by the [Mountain Peak] system, it's like players who are 180 cm tall and players who are 210 cm tall having the same agility attributes, are two completely different concepts.

"Just with his shooting... he has a chance to become the next Keith Van Horn," Jordan commented on Qin Yue's shot, sitting beside Barkley.

Barkley, rarely agreeing with Jordan, said at this moment, "His talent is visible to the naked eye even the dumbest NBA general manager would unhesitatingly see him as the core of the team building."

After saying that, Barkley immediately started to appreciate Jordan's expression.

I heard you've officially become a small shareholder of the Bobcats, Michael?

I heard you've always had a soft spot for Qin Yue?

But Michael...

With Qin Yue's current market standing, how will you get Qin Yue to play for you without possibly getting the top draft pick?

At this moment, Barkley, without even a single ring, officially "scored" a late-game winner against Jordan, who has six rings.

Meanwhile, on the court, in the next second, Qin Yue, unaware, almost gave Jordan, who's already had a heart attack, another one:

Backing against Augustine, he made a fadeaway shot reminiscent of Jordan's prime, sending the ball soft as silk into the hoop.

At the same time, in the stands...

Looking at Jordan, clutching his chest and panting, a smile resembling the Nike swoosh immediately crept up on Barkley's lips.

"Michael, need me to take you to the hospital?"

"..."

Jordan admitted, recently busy with buying Bobcats shares, he indeed got careless.

But after calming down, looking at Barkley's infuriating face... suppressing his inner soreness, Jordan still tenaciously put all six championship rings he brought to the venue tonight on his fingers one by one.

"An NBA Championship is always the best medicine."

"..."

The mutual rivalry of these two NBA legends continues on the VIP stand.

Meanwhile, inside the Edward Jones Dome, as the miraculous Evans hit his fifth three-pointer of this game...

Illinois's last wave of a counterattack attempted in the second half also abruptly came to an end.

It was Luther Head in the first half and Chris Head in the second...

With a second-half performance of 1-for-6 shooting, Deron was left questioning reality.

Deron couldn't understand...

Why did Head and that "Elf Mouse" on the opposing side both disappear?

Could it be that getting lost on the court is contagious?

Actually... over time, the entire Illinois team was noticeably affected by the previous grueling battle with the Tar Heels.

Just because they were facing Paul on the court, Deron was fighting more valiantly tonight.

Before the game, Bruce Weber hoped to exhaust Qin Yue through a war of attrition.

But even the most correct strategy...

requires execution by the players on the field.

This game, Qin Yue, constantly outputting full effort on both offense and defense, nearly got exhausted to death, admittedly...

But Wake Forest's prior relatively easy schedule executed the most crucial assist for Qin Yue during the critical moment of this match.

On the court, when Qin Yue reached his physical limit...
