The Lakers' crushing defeat in the opening game was like a forewarning, causing all championship-contending teams in the league to panic like never before.
Qin Yue's speed with his skill and talent to attack the basket is unbelievably fast.
So much so that after watching the footage, teams found that when facing the Warriors, they are destined to try to force Qin Yue to take jump shots or make him give up the ball, just like the Lakers.
But in the current era, since the league has prohibited defensive hand-checking and physical collisions...
Teams can only perform limited interference on Qin Yue's shots and soon witnessed firsthand the flaws in this defensive strategy.
The Warriors' second regular-season opponent was the Denver Nuggets.
This game took place at Oracle Arena.
To prevent Qin Yue's unbridled breakthroughs on the court, Nuggets' coach George Karl specifically devised a strategy called triangle defense before the game.
