Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 64: Peak Showdown (13000-word epic chapter additional update for NuH grand alliance!) _7


On this night where you take the stage as I leave, at that most breathless moment...

It's here simultaneously!

On the court, Lakers have possession.

After third quarter adjustments and early fourth quarter rest, Kobe hit a three from the left 45-degree angle as soon as he came back, giving the Lakers a lead.

Now, the Black Mamba's eyes are fierce, exuding killing intent.

Back to the Warriors' offensive possession.

Successfully getting low post position, Qin Yue pushed away Odom and forced the ball into the basket.

Facing the Lakers, Qin Yue quickly made his response.

On CCTV, Zhang Weiping swallowed and said, "This is truly like a needle against wheat awn, soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king!"

Beside him, Sun Zhengping said, "Kobe is Nezha making waves, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, while over there, Qin Yue lifts the cauldron like an overlord, pulling the mountain with force... Let's see who will have the last laugh between the Warriors and Lakers tonight!"

On the court, it's the Lakers' turn to attack.

At the arc top, after signaling teammates to spread out, facing Richardson who kept applying pressure, Kobe first faked a breakthrough, then stepped back and pulled back...

Swoosh—!

Tonight, Kobe is truly killing gods if they block, extinguishing Buddhas if they obstruct.

However, Lakers fans only rejoiced for less than ten seconds... on this side, Qin Yue responded again with a sudden stop jump shot in motion.

There's no doubt, the showdown between star players in the final moments tonight...

Is what truly embodies the essence of the NBA!

On the court, during the Lakers' offensive possession, after driving into the paint, Kobe successfully found Odom, who had been taking hits.

This time, Odom didn't miss the opportunity and banked it in.

And on the Warriors' side, seeing that the low post opportunity was bad, Qin Yue decisively pulled to the right side to set a screen for Davis, and after receiving the ball popped out, successfully faked Odom.

Seeing this, Mim had to help defend...

But Brown, ready to catch the ball, received the pass from Qin Yue in the next second and slammed it in with one hand.

On site, watching the back-and-forth between both sides, the hearts of home fans felt like they were being roasted in a frying pan.

Of course, the most uncomfortable at this moment are those fans who earlier missed the chance to solve their physiological issues.

After all...

Who the hell dares to go to the bathroom at this moment?

On the court, Kobe broke through the 60-point mark with 4 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game, setting a new single-game scoring high for his career.

Qin Yue reached his 41st point with 3 minutes and 45 seconds remaining, his first "40+" in his career.

But even with the TNT TV station now cutting into the game broadcast, no one cared about the previous bet between Barkley and Smith.

Because people just wanted to know who would win this ultimate showdown.

At Staples Center, with home fans watching expectantly, Kobe once again put the Lakers in the lead with 1 minute and 45 seconds left in the game.

On the left low post, under Richardson's defense, which didn't care about fouling, Kobe used a silky smooth turnaround to change the score to 124-125 for the Lakers.

This was Kobe's 65th point of the game.

He continued to refresh his career high single-game score.

Returning to the Warriors' offense, under Jackson's instructions, Mim quickly moved and with Odom completed a double-team on Qin Yue in the low post.

The seasoned "Zen Master" restarted the double-teaming strategy on Qin Yue at the final crucial moments.

Because Jackson had been through so many key moments like this, he knew better than anyone...

At times like this, one cannot give the opposing star player a chance to clinch it.

However, surprisingly for Jackson...

Even at critical times like this, Qin Yue remained calm and composed.

Is Qin Yue naturally a clutch player?

The answer is evidently no.

It's just that tonight...

His mind was far clearer than usual.

On the court, facing the double-team from Odom and Mim, Qin Yue once again used his ghostly passing to find a teammate.

In the middle, Little Deng Liwei, who was subbed in at the last moment, followed up with a layup.

Just now, under the double-team, Qin Yue found the only passing line.

Though risky, it was the optimal solution in Qin Yue's eyes.

On the court, watching Qin Yue pass the ball under his legs... Odom felt that the Warrior Messiah standing before him...

Was simply the self he had fantasized about countless times.

Next, it's the Lakers' offensive turn.

After setting up with a 2-3 formation, they successfully created a low-post isolation opportunity for Kobe against Richardson through a simplified triangle offense.

And then...

Richardson officially reached his breaking point.

Even with his hand on Kobe's waist, he couldn't stop Kobe from turning around... fading back.

And the thing Richardson couldn't comprehend was...

How could Kobe still shoot the ball into the basket after losing his balance?

Is that reasonable?

It's very reasonable.

Because this is the 05/06 season Kobe.

Don't collapse, Jason.

Because in the upcoming games, Kobe will use scoring fests with only 40 points...

To make the perimeter defenders in the entire league collapse together.

On the scoreboard, with Kobe's difficult turnaround fadeaway shot, 126 to 127, Lakers led again.

Now, the Warriors' possession.

On the court, after dribbling past half court, Davis didn't rush to pass to Qin Yue but signaled teammates to spread out the offensive space to avoid mistakes.
