Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 62: Debut at the Peak (21000-word update additional content for the Proud Scumbag Alliance Leader)_3


TNT TV Station, Barkley shook his head repeatedly in amazement and said, "His dribbling... how has it improved so much compared to a few months ago?"

At this moment, under the strict scoring system of the Mountain Peak, Qin Yue's dribbling attribute has already reached 81.

His speed and agility have each reached 80 and 77 respectively.

Since the Mountain Peak system does not specifically detail Qin Yue's attributes.

So, just like Qin Yue's jumping attribute...

Because speed and agility are also two broad concepts...

Therefore, a higher speed attribute doesn't just mean Qin Yue will become faster in a simple sense.

After all, for the sport of basketball...

Compared to simply running fast, ball-handling speed and instant explosiveness are clearly more important.

Moreover, due to Qin Yue's height of 6 feet 11 inches with shoes, he possesses a pair of enviably long legs.

So as long as his explosiveness reaches a certain threshold...

The speed he showcases on the court can't be measured simply by ratings.

As for Qin Yue's agility attribute at 77 at the moment...

It further means that at 6 feet 11 inches tall, his flexibility, coordination, and maneuverability... have far exceeded the average level for this height.

This is why Qin Yue can achieve higher ratings under the system's live-action algorithms.

Because basketball has never been a sport that is purely about numbers. (Note①)

On the court, it's the Timberwolves' turn to attack.

As a defensive team with an average of only around 77 possessions per game, the Timberwolves' tactical initiation is also concerning.

Standing 6 feet 7 inches tall, Yaric has never been known for breakthroughs in the NBA filled with agile players.

But facing the strong and robust first-gen Mr. Big Beard, he gains no advantage in confrontation, so as long as Davis can control his urge to steal the ball upfront, Qin Yue need not worry about pick-and-rolls initiated by Yaric.

Because, even if your teammates screen out the opponent, what can you really do?

Yaric's specialty is long-distance two-point jump shots inside the three-point line after using a screen.

This trick, even in the year 2005, is somewhat outdated.

On the court, Hassel receives Yaric's throwaway pass with little time left in the attack, and the route to pass to Garnett is blocked, leaving him bravely shouldering the responsibility of defusing the bomb for the Wolves.

However...

Hassel's ball-handling offensive skill can be described as barely existing, if not resembling air.

Bang——!

In the paint, with Brown actively boxing out, Qin Yue successfully secured the first rebound of his NBA career.

Then, not wanting to grind it out with the Wolves in their half-court setup, Qin Yue quickly dribbled past midcourt.

Since his ball-handling drew the attention of multiple Wolves players retreating on defense, after noticing Brown sprinting down the court, Qin Yue, who had already anticipated Brown's route, unhesitatingly delivered a no-look pass to find Brown, the "Sha Black Sweet."

Under the basket, remembering Qin Yue's pre-game advice to secure the ball before deciding the next move, Brown executed a two-handed slam dunk efficiently.

At that moment, Brown regretted that Qin Yue only joined the NBA in his junior year.

Otherwise, if he had acknowledged Qin Yue as his big brother earlier...

Would he have been bullied consistently in the NBA?

On the court, after Brown successfully snatched away his assist 'first blood', just as he turned around, Yaric handed Qin Yue a steal.

Trying to connect directly with Garnett, Yaric ignored Qin Yue's equally impressive defensive coverage.

As a result, seeing Yaric's pass drift slowly, Qin Yue decisively stepped forward to intercept the basketball.

Fortunately, Yaric followed up with a timely foul to prevent the Warriors' fast break.

Otherwise, Qin Yue felt he would certainly get a beating from Garnett in the locker room later.

"Now Qin is just one block away from completing his five major statistical categories." TNT TV Station, Barkley said.

For Qin Yue's vitality and vigor displayed after tonight's opening, Barkley could only describe it with sheer delight.

But, the next second...

Qin Yue, affected by his jinx, committed a mistake while passing.

On the side, Smith seized the opportunity to tease Barkley by saying, "Turnovers are also a very important statistic in basketball games."

Came back around, it's the Wolves' turn to attack.

While boxing out with Qin Yue at low post... feeling that Qin Yue isn't easy to handle, Garnett retreated and, through cross-switching with Sugar Man, got Brown in front of him.

This cross-switch perfectly showcased Garnett's basketball intelligence as a super power forward.

In basketball games, knowing there are challenges ahead...

Why do you insist on facing them?

Identifying and exploiting the opponent's weak points is also a mandatory lesson for all superstars.

Compared to Qin Yue, Brown has the physique but his defensive intelligence can't compare to Qin Yue.

After all, Qin Yue's judgment, observatory skills, and reactions are acknowledged even by Duncan.

At low post, using Brown as a pivot, Garnett easily created space for a turnaround jumper.

Swish——!

Additionally, after scoring, while verbally attacking Brown's already fragile mind with trash talk, Garnett didn't forget to pound his chest and stomp his feet to showcase his ferocity.

Seeing this, Qin Yue directly went up and hugged Brown's shoulder saying, "You defended well earlier, but you should be even tougher."

Upon hearing this, with eyes nearly streaming with tears, Brown nodded in agreement.

Next, it's Warriors' possession.

To reclaim the momentum, Qin Yue directly signaled Davis to give him the ball.
