For a long time, there has been a member named George Mumford in Jackson's luxurious team.

As a reformed addict, after the concept of "The Zone" was proposed, Mumford, being a master of psychology, assisted several NBA superstars in entering this state.

Therefore, Jackson is definitely the head coach in the current league who understands most how much impact a superstar can have on a game.

So, after giving Fisher a glance of hint, Jackson watched Kobe's upcoming performance with great interest.

Swish—!

Swish—!

Swish—!

Tonight, in front of Kobe's unpredictable one-on-one skills, Pietrus has completely lost confidence.

Seeing Kobe score the fourth basket, he first used a dribble to pivot and open up the distance between them, and then, just as Pietrus tried to catch up, Kobe suddenly twisted on the spot and flipped around to shoot the ball into the hoop.

Then the fifth basket, the sixth basket...

No matter how Pietrus used all his tricks, in the next second, Kobe always managed to score the basketball in a surprising way.

At the Staples Center, when the game went into the official time-out in the first quarter, people hadn't even realized...the quarter was already halfway through.

On the Warriors' bench, seeing Pietrus's gradually dispirited appearance and his dim pupils, Richardson volunteered, "Let me guard Kobe."

Hearing this, Qin Yue immediately turned his gaze towards this fringe player from the previous two games against the Warriors.

"I can't guarantee I can stop Kobe, but I can guarantee that every basket he makes, he'll pay the corresponding price," Richardson said resolutely.

Seeing this, Coach Montgomery also called for Little Deng Liwei.

Because if Richardson was going to defend Kobe...

Then the Warriors clearly didn't need to keep Pietrus on the court.

This Lakers small forward is Brian Cook.

Even Little Deng Liwei can easily handle it.

After the official time-out, the game continued.

Though Richardson still couldn't stop Kobe from scoring 25 points just in the first quarter, under his hard defense, even the Zen Master, who wished Kobe could play all 48 minutes, benched Kobe at the beginning of the second quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the scoreboard showed 35 to 34.

On CCTV, during the intermission, Zhang Weiping complained, "Kobe's performance is exceptionally brave tonight...but the Lakers are trailing after the first quarter."

Beside him, Sun Zhengping said, "Tonight in the first quarter, the Lakers combined with Kobe to score 34 points, which is actually commendable in terms of performance."

Zhang Weiping: "..."

Then, when commenting on the Warriors' performance, Zhang Weiping said, "Qin Yue has really opened our eyes today. Under his leadership, the Warriors have unexpectedly taken the lead at the Staples Center."

In the first quarter, Qin Yue totaled 8 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal.

On the court, the Warriors' offense was essentially initiated around him.

Although he didn't score as much as Kobe, under his leadership, the Warriors demonstrated an excellent competitive state.

In the second quarter, as Ellis, who substituted for Kobe, led the Lakers' bench players to an 8-0 run, Qin Yue was quickly reassigned by Coach Montgomery to join the game.

As he came onto the court, seeing Ellis still yelling at him incessantly, Qin Yue curiously asked, "What was he just saying?"

Seeing this, Jack, not wanting Qin Yue to be distracted, said, "Who cares what he's saying? We just need to play our game well."

On the court, as Qin Yue returned, the Warriors regained possession.

Murphy voluntarily came up to the high position to set a screen for Qin Yue, and after the pick, Qin Yue, who intended to pass the ball to Murphy, suddenly felt as if everything around him slowed down.

Thus, Qin Yue decisively changed his mind, dribbling directly between Turiaf and Walton.

At this moment, he resembled a butterfly fluttering through flowers.

But in the next moment, after taking off, he amazed the home crowd at the Staples Center with a floating layup...

Coming back, Lakers' offense.

Ellis, with his usual "my fate is mine" attitude, intended to overpower Jack.

Seeing this, Jack simply let Ellis enter the restricted area.

Because there, Jack knew very well...

The on-form Qin Yue tonight would undoubtedly block Ellis!

Sure enough.

Even though Ellis noticed Qin Yue while rising for a layup and was ready to outsmart him with a 360-degree turn, after completing the turn mid-air, he was astonished to find...

Qin Yue was still above!

Pah—!

On the court, at that moment, only God knew how much Qin Yue's block had psychologically impacted Ellis's youthful mind.

On the Lakers' bench, Kobe couldn't sit still.

Because, as someone who's been through it before...he felt that Qin Yue had entered the same state as him tonight.

But on the court, the Lakers' offense wasn't over yet.

Walton, known for his high basketball IQ, had already controlled the second chance and, finding the right timing, tricked Qin Yue with his rhythm, attempting a bank shot to score for the Lakers.

However...

Just when Walton thought the shot was within grasp...

Pah—!

After consecutive jumps, Qin Yue completed another block!

Then, as Turiaf followed up, looking at the ball that landed in his hands, he charged forward without hesitation.

Pah—!

At the Staples Center, the Messiah of the Warriors, known by all as the overlord...had announced a no-fly zone over Los Angeles tonight with three consecutive blocks!
