The Warriors dismantled the Lakers' defensive system in the third quarter.
Coach Brown of the Lakers was at his wit's end and said, "If their offense is still unstoppable on such a defensive level, then who in this world can stop them?"
Unlike Kobe, who knew how tough it was to face the Warriors and Qin Yue, Brown's mentality was far less composed.
But at this moment...
Wasn't Brown's inner voice exactly the true portrayal of Rockets coach Amy Udoka not long after Qin Yue's breakthrough?
In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs in 2025, why did the Rockets use a crazed double-team strategy on Curry?
To the point that as long as Curry crossed half court, at least two to three Rockets players would hang on him?
Because as early as the 2022 Finals, facing the iron defense composed of Smart, Brown, Tatum, and Rovai, Curry had already shown his historical-level ability to break through.
