This is the difference between the playoffs and the regular season.

For success rate, as long as one side finds a way they think is right, they'll keep playing that way.

On the court, Jack had just passed half-court and handed the ball to Ah Tai, and Qin Yue pulled Duncan, who had just returned to the game, away from the low post.

Seeing this, Artest, like the future "Chasing Dreams" Green, turned around with the ball and charged into the Spurs' paint, scoring the basket.

This was an attack completed by Ah Tai relying on "Qin's Gravity."

As long as all five Warriors on the court can shoot threes, it will be hard for the Spurs to continue to execute their defensive rules on Qin Yue.

After all, as long as Qin Yue tirelessly sets picks for his teammates, his teammates will always have opportunities.

Therefore, only when one of Qin Yue's teammates cannot shoot threes or has no mid-to-long range shooting ability at all...

Can the other Spurs players switch defenses to block any Warriors shooter who might be left open.

ESPN, Smith asked, "Jeff...for that last possession, how should the Spurs have defended?"

This question was right up Van Gundy's alley.

"Give me five swingmen, and switch on screens when they're set on the court."

"You mean, switch everything?"

"Switch everything plus a rotating zone."

Tonight, in Van Gundy's eyes, the Spurs' defense looked like the "one-man press with four-man zone" that he had seen in some high school and amateur games.

But once this defensive method was cracked by the Warriors, it instead magnified Qin Yue's explosive creativity.

Indeed, Qin Yue is regarded by Van Gundy as the future.

He's different from any past NBA star; he can resolve issues both with and without the ball.

If the league maintains the same standards of officiating throughout the playoffs this year, Van Gundy even believes there's a high probability the Warriors will become this season's NBA champions.

At the AT&T Center, halftime concluded with a score of 65 to 52.

Qin Yue contributed 20 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal by halftime.

The Warriors made 10 out of 18 three-pointers by halftime, with a three-point percentage of over 50%.

On this night, when both teams had a combined total of only 10 free throws by halftime, three-point shooting became the key for the Warriors to break the situation.

The five-out lineup tightly linked Qin Yue and his teammates, allowing the Warriors' shooters to fire from outside far more than in the third and fourth games through Qin Yue's aggressive drives and pick-and-roll setups.

The Spurs' shooters couldn't match the Warriors' crazy three-point output, even though they attempted 14 three-pointers by halftime and only made 5.

During the halftime break in the locker room, seeing Biedrins still busily serving drinks to his teammates, Brown immediately felt the innocence.

Due to his experiences with the emotional ups and downs during his time with the Wizards, Brown undoubtedly felt anxious and uneasy after tonight's first half.

Historically, it was for fear of losing his spot with the Lakers that Brown would later suggest to the Lakers' coaching staff that he gains weight without hesitation.

This season, after finally securing a place with the Warriors, but now...

As the Warriors' five-out lineup showed its power, Brown has faintly felt that he might be phased out.

Qin Yue noticed Brown's internal changes.

So after patting him on the shoulder, he said: "Don't worry, tonight's game plan is just a temporary measure, as long as you listen to me and lose some weight, there's definitely a place for you in this Warriors team."

Upon hearing this, Brown turned his gaze to Qin Yue and, seeing the sincerity in his eyes, joyously said, "I'm not worried about my position with the Warriors. Anyway, you're my boss. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it."

In fact, by the third game, Qin Yue had already noticed the Spurs using a similar "one-man press with four-man zone" strategy on him.

It's just...

Compared to breaking the traditional zone defense, because the Warriors had never encountered such defense before, Qin Yue's tactical reserve couldn't support him in breaking the Spurs' defensive system in a short amount of time.

In his current life, Qin Yue's tactical knowledge was mainly gained during his college career, learning from Prose and Paul, as well as humbly consulting Montgomery after entering the NBA.

No way, no matter how high Qin Yue's basketball IQ is, in his previous life he was just an ordinary basketball enthusiast, and who spends their days studying tactics, fantasizing that one day they could become an NBA head coach?

However, on this night of successfully breaking the Spurs' "one-man press with four-man zone," it instead reminded Qin Yue...

In the NBA, there are many advanced tactics to crack the "one-man press with four-man zone."

Moreover, the five-out lineup is actually one of the least stable ones.

Because the prerequisite for the five-out lineup to show its power is that you have to make those damn shots when the opportunity presents itself.

Otherwise, you'd be like the future Houston Rockets who missed 27 consecutive threes in a playoff game.

Will Brown be eliminated by this impending era of upheaval?

Certainly not.

Qin Yue is well aware that the current Warriors are just a team with a preliminary hint of the small-ball era's flair.

His so-called "explosive creativity" hasn't been able to exert its full power because the Warriors haven't fully established the corresponding tactical system yet.

In the future, with the support of corresponding advanced tactics, the Warriors' offensive spacing will be extraordinarily wide, fully accommodating Brown, the "Reluctant Shooter."

Moreover, in the upcoming era, the more frequently those outside stars charge to the inside, the more players like Brown, who have the potential to become top-notch sweepers, will become increasingly important.
