Chapter 769 274: When Demon King Satan Returns_2

After saying that, Ma Long immediately turned his gaze towards JR Smith."Me?"

"That's right, 'JR', we need you to play the second ball handler on the court," Ma Long smiled, "You don't need to think too much during offense, you just need to focus on two things."

"What two things?"

"Going one-on-one or using your teammates' screens to score."

In his interactions with JR, Ma Long had long noticed that he was a player you couldn't input too many instructions into.

To make the best use of JR, Ma Long could only reduce the instructions he gave him as much as possible.

Then, turning his gaze to Brown, Ma Long said, "You're up next, Kwame."

Seeing this, Brown, who was eager to get on the court, said, "Don't worry, as long as the paint is handed over to me, I won't even let a mosquito in."

Although since last season, Ma Long was probably the person in the Warriors coaching team most eager to trade Brown.

But when he needed Brown, Ma Long's attitude towards him wasn't to say truly affectionate, but at least deeply sincere.

What does it mean to have the self-cultivation of a top coach?

On the court, after the timeout, the Warriors' lineup under Ma Long's adjustment became Brown, Qin Yue, JR, Ray Allen, and Livingston.

At the American Airlines Arena, it was the Warriors' offensive possession.

Drafted in for the critical moment, JR, under the cover of Qin Yue, missed a layup.

It was an offensive mistake that deeply frustrated JR inside.

Because with the coach's trust and the help of his teammates, he had clearly executed a beautiful personal move.

But when it came to finishing, he made a basic error that even Westbrook would berate with "How could you miss that?"

Fortunately, Qin Yue never liked to express his dissatisfaction with his teammates in front of the cameras.

After all, deliberately complaining about teammates to the cameras on the court serves no purpose other than to show off one's own strength while proving teammates' inadequacy, in Qin Yue's eyes, it doesn't help the team in a positive way.

So, during the fallback on defense, patting JR on the shoulder, Qin Yue said, "Keep playing like this, just pay more attention to my position in the next play, I'll set another screen for you."

Feeling warmth in his heart, JR quickly nodded.

Back to the Warriors' defensive possession.

Livingston, who could help defend to the wing during defense, successfully delayed Wade's speed in pushing forward.

And at the moment Wade chose to pass, Brown had already intercepted Wade's lateral pass intended for Anthony on the opposite side with advanced anticipation.

Then, following Qin Yue's eye signal, he passed the ball to JR.

Even Brown himself could not have imagined that he would accidentally deliver a century assist.

Why was Brown's pass to JR a century assist?

Because quickly dribbling to the frontcourt, with thoughts filled only with "I want to repay Great Qin", JR, riding on the rare full sprint defense by Anthony, exploded the entire arena with a tomahawk dunk!

JR Smith?

No, this is Michael Smith.

This is the "True Aerialist" that even Jordan would have to toast.

At this moment, Anthony never imagined he'd become the backdrop for his former subordinate.

And at the moment of landing from the dunk, JR didn't even glance back at Anthony.

Instead, he directly ran towards Qin Yue, crashing into his embrace.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley laughed, "'Melo' might be upset about this all day, but we have to thank 'JR', because he pulled off a dunk on the court that will be narrated for at least ten years."

On the Warriors' bench, Sacre and Vallejo, who were eagerly waving towels for JR, also became a lovely sight at that moment.

And only then did Ray Allen realize why this Warriors team is always a champion team.

In the last three minutes of the first quarter, timely adjustments to the team's strategy by Ma Long succeeded in having JR press the Jordan-in-his-body switch with Qin Yue's inherent attraction.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 33 to 31.

The Warriors had overtaken the Heat in the score.

In response, O'Neal sighed, "Why is it that his teammates around him can always perform at a super superstar level? I think before this night started, no one would've thought that a 'JR' with a salary of only three million US Dollars could compete with 'Melo' and 'D-Wade' in caliber."

Barkley nodded, "This is the 'Great Qin' we want to see, he's a true Captain, capable of leading the team to any destination."

In the second quarter, the Warriors were led by Livingston and Jamison.

For the Heat, who kept Anthony on the court, this should have been an excellent opportunity to catch up.

But in the possession when Qin Yue returned to the court, Jamison, who matched up with Anthony for half a quarter, said to him, "Seems like you really don't know how strong I am without LeBron."

It must be said, even though James of this life has seen better days, his legend still echoes in the Jianghu.

On the court, the sudden outburst by veteran Jamison successfully disrupted the Heat's plan to catch up.

And continuing the good state from the first quarter, Qin Yue made it so that the Heat's mastermind and helmsman Riley couldn't help but feel the urge to send someone to assassinate Ma Long.

The American Airlines Arena welcomed a half quarter belonging to Qin Yue.

The defiant David West had clearly hugged Qin Yue during defense.

But when West turned his head, that basketball Qin Yue threw with one hand still hopelessly found its way into the basket.

"Basketball is a game of ten people on the court, but it's always the Messiah who wins."
