——When he's on the court, the Spurs' four-man zone only provides Qin Yue with plenty of one-on-one opportunities.

The great Kevin Garnett once said that without his mobility and wingspan, anyone who tries to challenge Qin Yue one-on-one is courting death.

Bruce Bowen's height of just under two meters after putting on shoes and his weight, maintained in the nineties to keep his mobility, mean that...

Besides being able to disgust Qin Yue with those hateful dirty tricks when receiving the ball, once Qin Yue successfully receives the ball, he turns into a lamb at Qin Yue's mercy.

"Wouldn't it be slightly better to match him with Robert (Horry)?"

"Robert doesn't have Bruce's mobility on the perimeter, and putting Robert on would just make it easier for him to receive the ball."

On the sidelines, impatience and anxiety were already written on Popovich's face.

In front of Qin Yue's unconventional playstyle...

Due to the lack of players able to match Qin Yue, the Spurs could only watch as Qin Yue led the Warriors to repeatedly break through their proud ironclad defense in the early part of the first quarter.

Moreover, compared to last year, Davis's good form also increased the defensive pressure on the Spurs.

On the court, Davis was flooring it and, encountering Duncan's help defense, immediately lobbed an alley-oop pass to Qin Yue.

On the side, Oberto transformed into the Warriors' mascot and witnessed Qin Yue complete the ensuing tomahawk alley-oop from the best viewing angle.

Last summer, Popovich, who had been scouring the world for help and shooters for Duncan... demonstrated with his actions that he seemed to have done something, yet nothing at all.

Although on the return play, Duncan, like a god from ancient times, broke open Qin Yue's defense and scored with a bank shot.

But Duncan's grim expression was a stark reminder to the Spurs...

That the situation of this game was not optimistic.

To restrict Qin Yue's receptions, Bowen's movements were becoming increasingly aggressive.

Just as Davis brought the ball past half-court, the referee stopped the game due to a near-conflict between Bowen and Qin Yue.

"Don't fucking touch me, you scum who would backstab former friends just to win. For someone like you to make the NBA All-Defensive Team is a disgrace to the award." Qin Yue said impatiently, slapping away Bowen's hand that constantly grabbed his jersey.

Although Qin Yue never minded the intensity from opponents' defense in games, he was extremely repulsed by players like Bowen, who would constantly make dirty plays.

Bowen knew he couldn't win a trash-talking battle with Qin Yue, but after the game resumed...

He still carried on as usual.

To the point where during a drive, had Qin Yue not been exceedingly cautious... his "little buddy" nearly fell victim to Bowen's sneaky antics.

This was a malicious foul that infuriated Qin Yue.

Seeing this, Deng Liwei immediately pulled out the baseball bat he carried from below the bench.

While Artest, in the next defensive possession, used an unavoidable "head-smashing iron elbow" to educate Bowen, whose actions were getting worse, on behalf of Qin Yue.

Bam——!

On the court, the knocked-out Bowen clutched his head in pain and fell to the floor.

Undoubtedly, this was a deeply satisfying head-smashing iron elbow!

But this was merely a warning from the Warriors to the Spurs.

On the sideline, Popovich protested to the referee: "Damn it, why is this just a common foul? He was clearly trying to injure him purposely!"

Hearing this, Qin Yue berated Popovich on behalf of the referee: "Shut up! You old mutt that only knows how to bark! Haven't you instructed that bastard to injure others multiple times? Don't think you can wash your hands of it just by blaming that bastard!"

Next, from Carter to Ray Allen and then Radmanovic, Francis...

Under Qin Yue's enumeration, the names of NBA players who had fallen to Bowen's notorious leg sweep were like needles pricking Popovich, who was known for his double standards.

"You're slandering! I've never instructed Bruce to do such things!" On the sidelines, Popovich defended himself, flushed with anger.

At that moment, Qin Yue smiled.

With so many incidents of "undercutting"...

Popovich could actually deny them so brazenly.

In the next second, watching Duncan, who stepped up trying to persuade him to calm down, Qin Yue couldn't help but deliver his fatal blow: "And what about you, my dear senior, are you also unaware of your teammate Bruce Bowen's actions?

You're a truly pristine team! But if you're so pure, why would you keep that bastard?

Is it because he always manages to clean up the dirt you don't want to see, making your championships look spotless?"

Qin Yue's words pierced Duncan's heart, leaving him stunned.

Indeed, in public, Duncan could pretend that he was oblivious to Bruce Bowen's actions.

But before Qin Yue...

Especially when he saw Qin Yue's eyes that seemed to burn with a fiery intensity, the usually composed and calm Duncan...

Involuntarily avoided eye contact with Qin Yue.

This scene greatly disappointed Qin Yue.

"Tim, I still thank you for taking the time to teach me basketball skills back at Wake Forest.
