Chapter 679: Chapter 234: What kind of champion are you? (First of two consecutive updates with 10,000 characters!)

Since Qin Yue entered the NBA...

Each year’s Lakers and Warriors rivalry has become one of the most talked-about games of the regular season.

Whether it’s the personal grudge between Qin Yue and Kobe or the new and old rivalries between the Warriors and the Lakers, these matches are always filled with tension.

Staples Center, during the pre-game warm-up.

Qin Yue noticed that this evening, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had recently transferred to Real Madrid, and David Beckham, who was playing for LA Galaxy, were both in attendance.

However...

Compared to the latter, who was chatting and laughing with him, the former’s gaze at him was clearly filled with hostility.

Could it be that Ronaldo is also a die-hard fan of the Lakers?

At that moment, Qin Yue thought to himself.

It wasn’t until Brown reminded Qin Yue that Ronaldo’s dislike for him might be because of a woman, that Qin Yue suddenly realized.

"Is it because of Irina Shayk?"

"I think so, because there have been rumors recently that he’s been aggressively pursuing Irina."

Qin Yue couldn’t believe that Ronaldo, known for his playboy reputation, could actually have a day of jealousy.

In Qin Yue’s view, this shouldn’t be the case.

After all, how could a true playboy care about women who would only slow down his draw speed?

And if he told Ronaldo, he probably wouldn’t believe it.

Among Qin Yue’s many "Miss Qins," Irina wasn’t even considered a marginal figure.

Qin Yue admitted that her long legs did leave a very deep impression on him.

But in his heart, Irina was like a piece of gum, something that could be spat out at any time after being chewed.

As for Ronaldo wanting to pursue Irina, holding a grudge against Qin Yue because she had been "chewed" by him before?

What does that have to do with Qin Yue?

On the court, after the warm-up ended, the starting players of the Lakers and Warriors stood at the center of the court.

Originally, after the "die-hard Kobe fan" Ellis was traded, Qin Yue thought he could finally have some peace of mind.

But before the game began....

At the draft, the Lakers acquired rookie Klay Thompson through a trade, who said to Qin Yue: "Your era of running wild in Los Angeles is over. Remember, Kobe is the greatest player in Los Angeles!"

At that moment, Qin Yue couldn’t understand...

Why are there so many Kobe fans in the world?

What charm does Kobe possess to inspire so many young players to idolize him and defend everything that belongs to him with all their might?

Looking at the still naïve Klay at that moment, Qin Yue, filled with anger, raised four fingers: "Do you know I have four championship rings and four Finals MVP trophies before you speak to me, little brother?"

Upon seeing this, Klay was immediately speechless.

"Aren’t you lacking the demeanor of a veteran by saying that?" Brown whispered to Qin Yue.

Hearing this, Qin Yue rolled his eyes at Brown: "When have I ever had something like demeanor?"

Demeanor?

If you don’t understand, ask, can that be used as food?

In that moment just now, the way Qin Yue mocked Klay was exactly the same as how Klay would mock Booker in the future.

Therefore, in Qin Yue’s view, even if Brown calls him undignified, it doesn’t apply to him.

That’s right, Klay was just hit by a boomerang from Qin Yue’s memory.

In the center of the court, after this little episode, the game officially began.

Warriors starters: Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Butler, Nash.

Lakers starters: Little Gasol, Big Gasol, Kobe, Klay, Paul.

Considering that the old Bell’s physical condition was no longer enough to support him in matching up with his old rival Kobe throughout the game, Warriors coach Ma Long moved Butler to the starting lineup tonight.

At the tip-off, Brown won possession for the Warriors.

Nash brought the ball past half-court.

And Kobe, responsible for guarding Qin Yue full-court, handed him off to Big Gasol once he crossed half-court.

This was the optimal strategy the new Lakers staff could devise to limit Qin Yue after Odom and Battier left.

That is, Kobe would guard Qin Yue full-court, and once he crossed half-court, Big Gasol would take over.

The advantage of this defense is that Kobe can use his speed and agility to the fullest to limit Qin Yue’s advancing speed.

As for whether Big Gasol can limit Qin Yue in the subsequent defense?

Given that Qin Yue is now universally recognized as an unstoppable player,

As the Warriors’ old rival, how could the Lakers naively believe they could stop this Demon King?

On their first attack, after spreading out the formation, Qin Yue drove into the Lakers’ territory with the ball, and when trapped by the Gasol brothers, he passed the ball to Brown.

The latter easily scored under the basket, 2-0.

Back on the other end, it’s the Lakers’ ball.

The positive influence brought to the current era by the Warriors and Qin Yue was perfectly demonstrated to the world in this possession through the Lakers’ offense.

Unlike in the Phil Jackson era,

This evening, the Lakers changed their traditional triangle offense positioning,

with Little Gasol and Big Gasol standing in the low post and high post, respectively.

On the perimeter, when Qin Yue noticed Brown was being forced out of position by Little Gasol, as he was just about to help defend Brown, the next second, Little Gasol passed the ball back to Big Gasol at the arc, who scored a three-pointer from the top of the arc.
