Since Qin Yue entered the NBA, the "Messiah storm" he stirred up has finally shown signs of subsiding in mid-January of the new year.

The Warriors have begun to enter a cycle of winning one and losing one, or winning two and losing two.

The Messiah, who previously averaged a triple-double every four or five games, has failed to achieve a triple-double in eight consecutive games.

The impact of Baron Davis being out due to injury seems to be starting to show.

Undoubtedly, all of the above has finally given those who originally thought the media was overhyping Qin Yue...

a chance to step into the spotlight.

Now...

They finally have a chance to pound their keyboards and turn their words into swords to show a more real Qin Yue to the people.

Generally speaking, when a rookie performs poorly in their rookie season, people often first think of the term "rookie wall."

Since Qin Yue is also a rookie, naturally, he will hit this wall too.

At least...

In the eyes of those who attempt to present the "True Qin Yue" to the world, this is what they believe.

However, very soon...

This group of people was disappointed.

Because although Qin Yue's recent stats have become increasingly mediocre,

as of The Los Angeles Times reporter Jovan Buha's draft, when Buha found that entering 2006, Qin Yue was still averaging 19.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 3.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals per game for the Warriors... (Data includes only January)

Even this veteran NBA critic, who once publicly criticized Kobe Bryant's shot selection as unreasonable and Shaquille O'Neal as a lazy, fat, and greedy worm, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Yes, if at this moment Qin Yue, who still averages "19+11+6+3+1" for the Warriors, can only be described as mediocre...

Then in the NBA, what does Qin Yue's senior named Tim Duncan count as?

And what about Kevin Garnett, who is now drowning with the Timberwolves in the West?

What about those familiar star centers that fans know so well from history?

Thus...

As a rigorous and sensible critic, Buha decided to find new angles to reproduce a more realistic Qin Yue for the people.

Because simply looking at Qin Yue's main technical stats... in Buha's view, the so-called rookie wall theory and increasingly mediocre theory simply do not hold water.

After all, every NBA star will experience fatigue and poor form at times.

In the face of Qin Yue's stats, which can still be described as "phenomenal," Buha needs more evidence and sufficient reasons to prove:

This Bay Area Messiah is far from as strong as people boast about.

But next...

The more Buha compares Qin Yue's performance in January with the previous two months, the more befuddled he becomes.

Especially when Buha examines those so-called advanced technical statistics.

It is obvious that when Qin Yue is on the court and when he is not...

The Warriors seem to be two different teams.

And even after they later acquired Ron Artest through a trade, the situation showed no signs of improvement.

Data shows that when Qin Yue is on the court, the Warriors are the team with the second-highest offensive efficiency in the league this season, only behind the Phoenix Suns.

But when Qin Yue is not on the court, the Warriors can only compete with the Houston Rockets in offense.

Additionally, when this Messiah is on the court, the Warriors can grab an average of 48 rebounds per game, but when he is not, this number immediately drops to around 40.

And even more terrifying...

Despite the Warriors advocating offensive basketball and having a less than ideal points allowed per game, when Buha magnified this data to per 100 possessions...

Buha discovered that when Qin Yue is on the court, the Warriors' defensive efficiency per 100 possessions can actually rank in the top five in the league!

But once he is not on the court, the Warriors' defensive efficiency per 100 possessions... can only exchange illnesses with the Supersonic.

Since the introduction of various advanced statistics in the NBA, Buha had never seen such a player like Qin Yue who can bring tremendous impact to the team on both ends of the floor.

Moreover, this player...

He is still just a rookie!?

Thus, in order to investigate why Qin Yue is able to have such a terrifying influence on the court, Buha decided to analyze every game video of the Warriors this season frame by frame.

After all, he is always a sensible and evidence-based critic.

Then...

Buha discovered Qin Yue's effective screens that couldn't be counted in technical statistics, and the seemingly simple handoff passes he made on the court, which in reality had a great destructive force on opponents.

Subsequently, Buha also noticed that although since December last year, Qin Yue has gradually reduced his frequency of help defense and increased his instances of just spectating from beyond the three-point line on offense...

But when he is on the court, he still provides the team with help on both ends of the court that is beyond words.

Due to the fear of his range, coupled with the unpredictability of whether he will create opportunities for teammates through screens the next second, in games, those opponents of the Warriors simply do not dare to relax their vigilance against him.

As for defense, the Warriors even built their defensive system centered around him.

"I understand that after Ron Artest joined the team, because they have a 'DPOY' level defensive player on the perimeter,

he no longer has to always be ready to help his perimeter teammates as before, but can instead observe more carefully and expand the defense when necessary to disrupt the opponent's offense.

He uses his keen observation and defensive reading ability to replace those tasks that would consume a lot of physical energy."
