Smith laughed and said, "Looks like Charles Barkley has to take back that crown he gave to the Messiah."
Take it back?
Actually...
Van Gundy thought that Qin Yue really deserved the crown as the league's top power forward.
Because being able to push the Spurs and Duncan to such an extent is enough to prove Qin Yue's value.
On the court, after a few more rounds, Smith said, "Hey, Jeff, let me summarize this for the audience.
In simple terms, in the third and fourth games, the Spurs succeeded in turning Tim Duncan into a larger version of Bruce Bowen, focusing all their defensive resources on the Messiah's teammates, effectively cutting off the Messiah's connection with his team.
This way, the Messiah couldn't use his 'explosive creativity' to energize his teammates. Moreover, Tim used his tireless defense to successfully limit the Messiah's personal scoring to a range the Spurs deemed controllable."
Van Gundy smiled and said, "That's exactly how you can understand it."
