Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 730 - 259: As Long as He Fights, I Won’t Fight!_2
However, the Knicks' first offensive move...
Under the driving force of the seasoned Barnes, James immediately helped Brown produce a well-known scene.
As another spokesperson of the "Nightmare Dance" in the current era, Brown keenly sensed the timing of James' driving layup and transformed what should have been James' first field goal into his own block data.
In the Warriors Forbidden Area, James, who was blocked by Brown with a big slam against the board, immediately turned his confused gaze toward the referee upon landing.
This is an image that has permeated James' entire career.
That is, even in games, if the opposing defender blocks James without dispute, James must pretend to be aggrieved and thus prove that the reason he was blocked was just that the defender infringed on his cylinder.
However, Brown did not accommodate this "good brother" who once researched with him in the "Dream Factory" on how to profit from the new dribbling and ball-handling rules.
On the court, watching James still complaining after Nash completed the fast break, Brown said to him, "When will you ever grow up?"
Facing Brown's soul-questioning, James immediately displayed an enraged expression.
But the so-called "Emperor's Fury" could intimidate others.
In front of these Warriors...
Who could James intimidate?
"This is the Bay Area, kid!"
In the Warriors' half, having pushed away James, who was trying to argue with Brown, Barnes said this.
The next second, although Barnes pushed James' chest, James covered his face as he fell to the ground, displaying somewhat crude acting skills.
Especially in the moment when James covered his face and fell while opening his hand to sneak a peek at the referee...
"Doesn't he know that with the advancement of technology, today's broadcast camera angles have no blind spots?"
On the Warriors bench, watching the slow-motion replay on the big screen, Big Ben exclaimed.
And on TNT TV Station, Barkley said speechlessly, "LeBron, you are at least a player weighing over 270 pounds. Can't you stand firm like a man and fight with your opponents?"
Beside him, Smith said, "You all used to say Matt Barnes learned Chinese kung fu, now I believe it, because if it wasn't for using Chinese kung fu, how could Matt push down LeBron, who is 50 pounds heavier?"
This fall didn't bring James the punishment for Barnes that he wanted from the referee.
Moreover, James even received a warning from the referee.
"Stop flopping, LeBron."
Flopping... Flopping?
No!
Didn't you see Barnes just use the legendary Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms on me?
Sorry, the referee indeed didn't see it.
In Qin Yue's past life, James, obviously robust like Lu Zhishen, yet falling like Lin Daiyu, indeed always benefited from this.
But in Oracle Arena, in the Warriors' home court, if the referee dared to support this flop by James, how would the referee officiate the rest of the match?
On the court, after this small episode, the rookie Butler on the Warriors also successfully enjoyed the benefits of matching up with James.
Utilizing off-ball cuts, Butler shot 4-for-4 in the first half of the second quarter. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Playing in the Finals for the first time in his career, scoring 8 points in just 6 minutes, Butler didn't want to say James is greater than Qin Yue.
But the fact proved, in helping opponents find confidence, James is indeed greater than Qin Yue.
And on the Knicks' bench, having seen through James after losing that filter called "loyal minister," Durant now hates his own weak and incompetent self for agreeing to that trade involving Westbrook last summer.
"If Russell were still here, we wouldn't be so passive during the rotation phase." At this moment, Durant thought silently in his heart.
Previously, with James' help, the Pacers successfully played all seven games against the Knicks.
And this night, similarly aided by James, the Warriors also led the Knicks by 14 points by halftime.
At the end of the half, the scoreboard showed 68 to 54.
On TNT TV Station, Barkley gave a sharp commentary: "In my opinion, both the Warriors and the Pacers are too dependent on LeBron."
This is the so-called dominance of James that can be on par with Michael Jordan.
In Qin Yue's past life, James not only never dominated even a single era, but he was also often dominated by the superstars of his time.
Duncan first enjoyed the James era benefits in Young James' time.
Then Nowitzki followed, using James to shed his "soft" tag.
Then came Curry, Jokic, Edwards.
In conclusion, if James could be on par with Jordan...
It wouldn't be Jordan's lament.
It would only be James proving through marketing that in the 21st century, no matter how unworthy you are, as long as your packaging is exquisite enough, who isn't a GOAT?
After the halftime break, still leading the Knicks in an all-out fight, Durant finally made up his mind on this night.
The entire second half, Durant didn't say a single word to James.
He just silently scored, scored, and scored.
The final score, 110 to 127.
Throughout the game, totaling 39 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Knicks, Durant said in the post-game interview, "I said this is my team, so I will not shirk the responsibility for this loss."
