"Hey, 'clumsy snake', don't hurt yourself."

In the Lakers' zone, after receiving a pass from Davis, Qin Yue turned to the side and banked a shot against Kobe, who nearly got knocked to the ground, and taunted him.

And Kobe?

Two plays later, he drove through Ah Tai's defense and assisted Odom for a basket, immediately showing a disdainful smile at Qin Yue, who was drawn in by his move.

"You're really a 'top fool', did you think I only know how to score?"

As part of tonight's war.

Qin Yue and Kobe, completely at odds tonight, would attack each other with trash talk whenever given the chance.

After Qin Yue missed a free throw opportunity, Kobe mocked, "Hey, 'fool', do you need me to teach you how to shoot free throws? Your free throw was as bad as that lazy slug."

Hearing this, Qin Yue retorted, "Shut up! Don't compare me to that lazy slug living off past glories; my free throw percentage this season is something he won't achieve even in his next life!"

At this moment, feeling Qin Yue spoke a fair word, Kobe rarely refrained from arguing back and instead apologized to Qin Yue, "I really misspoke earlier, didn't expect this 'fool' could actually talk sense."

Then, after assisting Mim for a scoring play, Kobe shrugged his shoulders on defense and said, "See that? It's 'God's' fifth assist tonight."

It's known Mr. Bryant has many unique labels.

Among these labels, his narcissistic personality and refusal to be under anyone are merely prominent.

Historically, after scoring 38 points against the Lakers and clinching the game, Jeremy Lin once told Kobe, "You know I'm not afraid of you; I only fear God!" after joining the Lakers.

Then, Kobe coldly replied to Jeremy Lin, "I am God!"

And tonight, already highly displeased by Qin Yue's "Messiah" moniker, how could Kobe let himself seem inferior before Qin Yue?

Since you're the Messiah, then I'm God!

Yes, although in some interpretations, Messiah is God, in others, God could be the Messiah's father.

On the court, Qin Yue wasn't tolerant of Kobe's blatant snatching of credit.

With Warriors' possession, after a clean mid-range pull-up earning his 20th point tonight, Qin Yue immediately responded to Kobe, "I-Know- You-Dog!"

I-Know- You-Dog

Considering Mr. Bryant dared to call himself God before him, Qin Yue certainly needed to respond with a "who do you think you are" in American English nuance.

Even though this was supposed to be Howard's future comeback to Kobe's "Soft-Try-Me",

Compared to the future Howard's crude words out of momentary anger, clearly, Qin Yue's "I-Know- You-Dog" fits the moment better tonight.

Uttered by Qin Yue now, this line is destined to become iconic.

At Staples Center, now engulfed in smoke, Qin Yue, having scored 20 points in the first quarter, not only successfully subdued Mr. Bryant's arrogance with this American English nuanced "who do you think you are", the most important is, tonight's performance makes him far more qualified than the future ranting Howard to say this.

In the NBA, this matters.

Because if you lack the skill to match the classic lines you utter, those words will only be laughed at.

About two minutes later, Kobe hit a high-difficulty fadeaway three for the Lakers and sneered, "Do you dare defend me? This stand-up comedian can't stop me!"

At this moment, Kobe completed a double kill one against two.

While naming Artest, also provoked Qin Yue.

Upon hearing, reflecting on how Kobe could tell James, "If you dare shoot, don't just pass" in the future, Qin Yue coldly replied, "I dare defend you, do you dare defend me?"

Does Kobe dare defend Qin Yue?

This question is not about daring.

In reality, no player in today's league dares not be defended by Kobe.

But if Kobe really chose to primarily defend Qin Yue in this game, Qin Yue would wholeheartedly welcome this gift from nature.

After all, Kobe, a shooting guard, and Qin Yue, positioned as a power forward, have an arm span difference of several centimeters.

Nevertheless, Kobe chose to accept the challenge.

Even if it's just for a single defensive play.

Yet Kobe, who already issued a tough remark, clearly did not want to go back on his word.

Under the Lakers' basket, Qin Yue seized this opportunity, faced with Kobe's iron elbow obstruction, he rose forcefully and responded with a single-handed slam dunk.

Immediately after, Qin Yue signaled "Too-Small" towards Kobe.

Seeing this, Kobe, after a cold snort, quickly planned how to counter when it's Qin Yue's turn to guard him.

But would Qin Yue give him the chance?

On the court, as Kobe was about to dribble past his defensive zone, Qin Yue directly fouled and sent him to the free-throw line.

"You bastard! This is unfair!"

"Don't free throws count as scoring?"

"Bastard! Damn bastard! You're cheating, I can't accept this!"
