Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 62: Debut at the Peak (21000-word update additional content for the Proud Scumbag Alliance Leader)_6


Seeing this scene, Qin Yue took the opportunity to throw the ball towards the center of the court.

Although "Sugar Man" turned around immediately, Little Deng Liwei cleverly avoided Olajuwon's block with a low-handed layup.

However, after scoring, Little Deng Liwei deliberately ignored Qin Yue, who wanted to high-five him in celebration.

In the eyes of other Warriors players, Little Deng Liwei's action was nothing less than venting his earlier dissatisfaction with Qin Yue who almost put him in an awkward situation.

And to the players on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Little Deng Liwei and Qin Yue surely don't get along well usually.

But...

Is that really true?

"Stop staring at me, trust my movement, and make sure the Timberwolves don't figure out you're aiming for a triple-double, otherwise... they'll do anything to stop a rookie like you from achieving it," whispered Little Deng Liwei as he passed by Qin Yue unintentionally on the court.

Amazing!

Truly amazing!

At that moment, Qin Yue realized...

Everyone in this Warriors team is talented.

On the court, two minutes later, Qin Yue connected with Little Deng Liwei again.

Although he's a defensive target, on the offensive end, Little Deng Liwei's off-the-ball ability is undoubtedly the best on this Warriors team.

Plus, during halftime, the Wolves decided they wouldn't let rookie Qin Yue act too aggressively in the game...

So inadvertently, the Wolves' defense focusing all their attention on Qin Yue provided Little Deng Liwei with an ideal stage for performance.

On the left side of the court, Little Deng Liwei performed a classic consecutive fake run.

After the first failed attempt to cut in, Little Deng Liwei immediately used Richardson's screen to pull to the perimeter.

At this time, Szczerbiak, responsible for guarding him, thought he was going for a three-pointer, so he went up proactively.

However, Little Deng Liwei going to the perimeter was a fake, and cutting into the inside was the real move.

Because Qin Yue was positioned at the foul line, comparatively, the Timberwolves' opened-up inside was the place with the most scoring opportunities.

On the court, after receiving a pass from Qin Yue, Little Deng Liwei quickly put the ball into the net.

At this moment, with Oracle Arena displaying Qin Yue's stats on the big screen...

TNT TV Station's Smith exclaimed with a terrified face, "Could Qin really be about to achieve a triple-double in his career debut?"

Beside him, Barkley got excited, "Only two assists away, with one and a half quarters left, the Wolves are too late to stop Qin!"

Indeed, too late.

Because in the next Warriors' offensive play, the original Mr. Big Beard, who noticed Little Deng Liwei discreetly flattering Qin Yue, directly shot the basketball into the basket after receiving a pass from Qin Yue.

Davis' three-pointer, drilled over Yaric, instantly turned the entire arena into a sea of joy.

"Do you just want an assist? No need to go through such trouble," said Davis disdainfully at Little Deng Liwei during defensive retreat.

And on the sidelines, Montgomery, who knew what had happened to the Warriors a month ago, was confused.

Because he couldn't figure out...

When exactly did Qin Yue win over these diverse-tempered Warriors players.

Did Qin Yue really win over these Warriors players?

The answer is obviously no.

It's just that through each offensive and defensive play, Qin Yue made these Warriors players see what they had never seen before...

That thing...

Is called hope.

In the NBA, a team lacking morale and a team full of energy are two entirely different concepts.

The former, no matter how good the lineup is or how excellent the star players are, cannot perform at full strength when facing the latter.

Just like by the end of the third quarter, Garnett already formulaically scored 19 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal for the Timberwolves.

Is Garnett, who's at his peak, not strong?

Strong, indeed very strong.

But is it useful?

At the end of the third quarter, Kwame Brown, who succeeded in stripping Qin Yue's career assist "first blood," made a long two-point jumper that even Qin Yue couldn't believe, helping Qin Yue officially achieve a triple-double.

The big screen at Oracle Arena simultaneously displayed Qin Yue's stats for this game:

21 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 blocks, 1 steal.

Career debut triple-double.

Since the NBA has had comprehensive technical stats...

Qin Yue made history tonight!

Perhaps right now, Qin Yue is still some distance away from leading the Warriors out of the quagmire.

But at this moment...

This player, regarded as the greatest in American College Basketball since Tim Duncan, made all Warriors fans believe...

"The future is ours!"

In the final quarter, Qin Yue played for five minutes before Montgomery subbed him out.

Because before Qin Yue was subbed out, the Timberwolves, who were trailing by 21 points at that time, had already withdrawn all their main players.

If this were twenty years later, with 7 minutes left in the game, a 21-point difference would be just 7 three-pointers away...

But in 2005...

The Wolves, knowing this night was embarrassing enough, decided to save face.

In the final quarter, when subbed out, Garnett, who scored 25 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal for the Timberwolves in the game, walked straight to the locker room without looking back.

At that moment, Garnett's mood was indescribable in just a few words.

Do you mean Garnett was really outplayed by rookie Qin Yue in this game?

How could that be.
