In the first half of the match, after a few more rounds, Prose voluntarily requested a timeout.
To counter Bruce Weber's overt scheme, Assistant Coach Victor fiddled with the tactics board during the timeout and said to Qin Yue, "Next, you'll have to hold the ball more at the high post..."
Upon hearing this, after patiently listening to Victor's setup, Qin Yue glanced at the worried-looking Prose and said, "This tactical adjustment isn't Coach Skip's idea, is it?"
Victor nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's a plan I came up with, but Skip also agreed."
Seeing this, Qin Yue immediately shook his head, saying, "I refuse to execute this tactic."
At this moment, Qin Yue's reason for refusing the tactic was simple.
Because according to Victor's design, while he was relieved of the pressure of attacking by moving to the top of the arc to pass to teammates,
the pressure would all be shifted onto the teammates.
