Why can Qin Yue still jump so high?

Because both human fragility and strength exceed one's imagination.

Sometimes, a person may be so fragile that a single word can bring them to tears, while at other times, you find you've gritted your teeth and walked a long road.

KeyArena, still Supersonic's possession.

Posey, ambushed at the left corner, hits a three from Cassell's pass.

Everyone knows, Qin Yue never complains about his teammates with open hands or a frown.

So, he chose to kick directly.

Bam——!

On the court, after kicking Richardson, Qin Yue scolded him: "If I see you defending with your eyes again, next time you'll roll back to the bench and watch the water cooler!"

Qin Yue knew that due to poor shooting in the last two games, Richardson was eager to regain his touch.

But if Richardson's way to regain touch is to slack off on defense, thus reducing the impact of intense opposition on his shooting touch...

Then what's the point of the Warriors assigning Jack to tightly guard Ray Allen?

You should know, the lineup Warriors deployed tonight is one big with four smalls.

If such a lineup can't restrict the opponent's outside shots... then waiting for the Warriors might be a situation where the Supersonic thrives both inside and outside.

Coming back, after a hand-off with Ah Tai, Qin Yue turns and cuts into the basket with the ball.

Yao Ming double-teamed in time, seeing this, Qin Yue naturally passed the ball to Ah Tai at the top of the arc.

Then, raising his butt, Ah Tai hits another three.

Facing the Warriors' one big and four smalls, with Garnett mainly defending Qin Yue, Yao Ming can only protect near the free-throw line.

This means...

Once the Supersonic choose to retract the way they did before, they'd inevitably leave Ah Tai open at the top of the arc.

Two possessions later, Carlisle actively called a timeout, further adjusting Supersonic's defensive layout.

Cassell dribbles past the half-court. Once bitten, twice shy, even though Yao Ming gave Qin Yue plenty of body contact, he didn't forget to lean back when shooting.

Swish——!

Even Qin Yue found it hard to stop Yao Ming's fadeaway shot.

But Carlisle noticed...

Compared to the last two games, the defensive pressure Qin Yue brought to Yao Ming is growing.

The Warriors attacked, with Ah Tai expecting to punish the Supersonic's defense with a three, but gets blocked by Posey.

At the moment Yao Ming retracted to the basket, the other three Supersonic players quickly rotated, selectively leaving Jack open, allowing Posey time to rush back to the arc.

Seeing this, Ah Tai passed to Jack, but Jack's hesitation on the catch gave the Supersonic defense another chance to seal the Warriors' shooting angles through rotation.

In the regular season, Jack's three-point shooting improved somewhat from last season.

But under tonight's intensity, high confrontation game, Jack wasn't confident in his threes.

And...

As the shot clock ran down, without the ability to play hero ball, Jack could only turn the ball over to the team's strongest player.

Qin Yue received Jack's pass, with about five to six seconds left to finish the possession.

Garnett nearly blocked all angles for Qin Yue to attack from the weak side.

He intentionally left the strong side with Yao Ming available for help to Qin Yue.

However...

Going against Garnett's intentional defense, with determination to face the challenge, Qin Yue powerfully dribbled, quickly accelerated, and drove towards the basket guarded by Yao Ming.

At the moment Qin Yue cut into the basket with the ball, the fully prepared Yao Ming gave sufficient body contact.

BOOM——!

KeyArena, when Qin Yue and Yao Ming's large bodies collided, fans in the front row could clearly hear their muscles clashing.

But, only after Yao Ming came down, Qin Yue, who finished shooting in the air, astonishingly made a one-handed floater, sending the basketball toward the hoop.

Boom, swish——!

Basketball banked in.

On ESPN, Scottie Pippen, who goes wherever the food is, exclaimed: "In terms of body control, Messiah has surpassed Michael Jordan of old."

Beside him, A. Smith laughed: "Michael would never approve of your assessment."

Pippen shrugged: "I always love speaking the truth."

After pausing, Pippen added: "Michael is only 6 feet 6 inches, but Messiah is 6 feet 11 inches, and I've never seen a big guy execute such hangtime moves like him."

Facing Pippen's reasonable words, A. Smith said: "His body control is indeed amazing, but it's also a dangerous signal...

Every time Messiah plays like this, it means his energy consumption will be incredibly high."

Pippen shrugged: "I never speculate on these great players with common logic, because these great players often show you through their performance that common sense doesn't apply to them."

A. Smith laughed: "Including Michael Jordan?"

In the next moment, Pippen gritted his teeth: "Including Michael Jordan!"

In Supersonic's offensive turn, after receiving Ray Allen's pass, Garnett suddenly sidestepped to gather himself and took a pull-up shot.

This old wolf's nimble and smooth gathering motion is definitely worth learning for those players in the league yet to tame their limbs.

Swish——!

On the court, Artest, deeply annoyed at being caught off guard by Garnett, gave himself a harsh slap.

But as Qin Yue passed by him, he gently patted his back: "Don't worry about his piecemeal scoring."
