Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 76: Career Night (8200-word chapter begging for subscription!)_3


Besides making 1 out of 4 free throws, you really can't pick a flaw in this young man who won't even turn 20 until in a couple of days.

And this...

made Brown, who didn't get even a second of playing time in the entire second quarter, experience an even more severe sense of crisis.

"Damn pretty boy!"

Especially in the locker room, noticing Biedrins chatting and laughing with Qin Yue, and even the head coach Montgomery deciding to continue pairing him with Qin Yue in the third quarter...

No way, no way.

After a season of selfless work for the Warriors...

Am I being "DNP"? (Note ①)

Actually, the reason Biedrins performed well tonight indeed relates to the Suns not knowing much about him.

Of course, even more importantly, was the energy he brought after he came on the court...

successfully reminded this group of Warriors players, who had lost three times in a row against the Suns, and were gradually losing the idea of how to deal with the Suns' offense.

That's right, facing this Suns team...

the most important thing is maintaining your own vitality.

This season, the Suns have averaged more than 87 possessions per game.

The data they've created at this point in time is even the same as their average possessions in the 19/20 season fifteen years later.

But fifteen years later in the NBA, it's an NBA where everyone waves the flag of offense, you either shoot me dead with threes or I'll shoot you dead with threes.

And the NBA now?

Right now in the NBA, the Suns still face many teams that voluntarily slow down the pace of offense during the games on many nights.

Therefore, if you can't maintain vitality to match the game rhythm this Suns team brings through constant speeding up...

you will easily find yourself gradually falling behind in a shootout.

The Warriors do not lack the ability to keep pace with this Suns' transition speed.

It's just that after losing all three previous games to the Suns, many players on the Warriors were numb to losses and afraid of losing.

But tonight, with Biedrins awakening the entire Warriors team as an unexpected hero...

Oracle Arena, a rare shootout in this era, also played out!

On the court, during the third quarter, the live broadcast cameras frequently captured Qin Yue and Nash.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley quipped, "Has Messiah and Steve really become rivals tonight?

Steve just completed his eleventh assist of this game, while Messiah has already secured his ninth assist."

When the Warriors no longer obsessed over trying again and again to limit the Suns with perfect defense like they did at the start, facts proved, they had the offensive capability to match up with this Suns team.

Richardson averages 17.4 points for the Warriors this season.

After joining in successfully, Artest also averaged 17.8 points in his Warriors career.

Then there's Davis, who always causes havoc in the opponent's defense whenever he charges.

At the end of the third quarter, the scoreboard showed 95 to 97.

Compared to fighting alone in the first quarter, as his teammates gradually regained their form, Qin Yue's stats quickly rose to 24 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal.

Notably, this was Qin Yue's eleventh triple-double in his rookie season.

Eleven triple-doubles in a rookie season.

With 11 regular-season games left for the Warriors, Qin Yue, who has topped this record as history's number one in advance, could well be called a "Rookie Triple-Double GOAT."

Anyway, as long as there are enough adjectives, in the NBA, who the hell isn't a GOAT?

In the final quarter, after being "DNP" for two quarters, Brown finally got the chance to play again.

However, what still made Brown feel downhearted was...

the reason he got back on the court was that Biedrins already had five fouls at the time.

Before going on, looking at Qin Yue, Brown said with an extremely aggrieved face, "Boss... will I really fall to being a substitute because of this game?"

Hearing this, Qin Yue immediately fell into thought.

At this moment, seeing Qin Yue pretending to think it over, Brown suddenly broke down!

Because he didn't expect...

Qin Yue would actually seriously consider this issue!

"Kwame, you really need to lose weight this summer." After patting Brown on the shoulder, taking advantage while the final quarter hadn't started yet, Qin Yue said to Brown.

Brown immediately asked, "Boss, how much do you think I should lose?"

"First lose it to be like me."

"But Boss, you're a power forward, I'm a center!"

"So what if you're a center? This season whenever you couldn't handle a center, wasn't I the one taking over?"

"..."

Sure enough, in this topsy-turvy era, future perimeter players like James, Anthony, will all bulk up to enhance their on-court threats, and according to historical records, James's future weight will even reach an astounding 129 kilograms.

But as the game gets faster, only by strictly controlling their weight can inside players ensure they effectively sweep as a barrier on defense.

Qin Yue understands the future trajectory of the NBA, and he believes that Brown, with his better athletic talent, is entirely capable of becoming a better inside sweeper than Tyson Chandler.

As for those increasingly difficult perimeter players after bulking up?

Of course, it'll be up to someone like him, with his pair of steely knees, to punish them.

Qin Yue never thought about leaving all problems to his teammates to solve.

Nor had he ever thought that after this group of supporting players helped lay the foundation, he'd just need to exert effort at critical moments to take away the biggest piece of cake.

That doesn't fit Qin Yue's character.

On the court.

In the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points alone in the final quarter, Qin Yue not only led the Warriors to a hard-fought victory in this shootout but also achieved his third career "40+ triple-double".
