Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 82: Heavenly Tribulations and Curses! (8500-word mega chapter begging for subscriptions and monthly votes!)_2


Then, Qin Yue also opened up a legendary random skill attribute package obtained by completing the task.

"Congratulations to the host for increasing the potential in dribbling by four and mid-range shooting potential by two."

Again... yet another random dribbling?

At this moment, seeing his dribbling attribute in the visual data already having a potential of 86, Qin Yue felt he might have a chance to become the 211 cm Kyrie Irving in the future.

It's clearly evident that talent varies greatly between individuals.

Some people, even after just one year in the league, can see hopes of becoming Kyrie Irving. But some might play in the NBA for a long time and still be that "dribbling non-talent."

...

In early May, with Qin Yue's suggestion, Bargnani will be reviewed by Michael Jordan in Charlotte.

On the 6th, the first-round results of this year's NBA Eastern playoffs emerged.

The defending runner-up Pistons defeated the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs with a score of 4-2.

The series wasn't very exciting in the process.

But on the court, referees who were always tasked to officiate Pistons games indirectly expressed a fact through their unfair and biased penalties:

The NBA is tired of the finals of the past two years.

Especially the ratings-low finals between the Spurs and Pistons last year...

Making Stern wish he could stab himself during those finals.

In the series against the Wizards, James ultimately led the Knights to advance with a 4-2 score, performing a controversial game-winning shot.

In six games, "Chosen One" averaged 36 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, and 6 turnovers for the Knights.

Aside from the controversial game-winner, Qin Yue believed people should praise James' attacks on the basket and commend his historically great physical talent.

But what puzzled Qin Yue was that those fans who don't understand basketball were keen to praise James for his basketball IQ and the impressive passes he made in the games.

No way, buddies.

You wouldn't be James' haters, right?

Average 6 assists and 6 turnovers...

With such an assist-to-turnover ratio, are you sure you're praising James rather than digging a pit for him?

In the matchup against the Bulls, the Heat laughed last.

Beside the impressive Wade, Shaquille O'Neal, whose "foot injury" automatically healed entering the playoffs, seemed to regain his former glory.

However, this Heat team, filled with veterans longing for a championship ring, told the world at key moments who truly is the king of Miami.

The Nets eliminated the Artest-less Pacers with a 4-2 score.

Overall, this year's Eastern first-round playoffs can only be described as uneventful.

The Pistons, Knights, Heat, and Nets.

These four teams, which were favored pre-series, successively reached the Eastern semifinals.

In contrast, the Western first-round playoffs this year have been eye-opening.

First, the Warriors unexpectedly eliminated the Mavericks, who won 60 games in the regular season, with a 4-1 score.

Next, the outcome between the Spurs and Clippers was decided merely on the 8th, through a Game 7 battle.

In fact, in the regular season, Qin Yue and the Warriors fully felt the intensity of this Clippers team.

And in the playoffs, with Corey Maggette returning from injury, Kaman and Brand stationed inside, Cassell, Mobley, and Livingston leading outside.

Who dares say this era's eighth seed in the West isn't tough?

The Spurs' drive this year was obviously affected by last year's championship.

Plus, the NBA doesn't want them to continue joining the Pistons in the Finals. Thus, it took until Game 7 for them to barely pass with a 4-3 score.

After Game 7, Popovich's expression was hard to call happy.

Because the defending champion already spent too much energy in the first round of the playoffs.

The outcome between the Suns and Lakers also awaited until the 8th to finally be decided through Game 7.

This was a series that showcased the true portrayal of the Lakers this season.

Facing the Suns with a team strength far superior to theirs, under Kobe's leadership, even though the Lakers once pushed the Suns to a dead end, in the end...

The Lakers fell due to a lack of overall strength.

Qin Yue's previous two "Good night, Los Angeles" seemed to be the preview for the Lakers' playoffs this year.

Always just a little bit, every time Kobe forced himself to his limit, but the Lakers...

Just couldn't win.

"This wasn't a great series, maybe it was for Steve Nash, maybe it was for Amare Stoudemire, but not for us, because we are losers."

We are losers.

Kobe wasn't wrong, as the losers, the Lakers were far from great, even though they narrowly lost to the Suns with a 3-4 score.

For DAntoni, he and his Suns still have many issues to address.

Because in the playoffs, Steve Nash, the defensive black hole, will inevitably be greatly magnified by every opponent.

As for this year's West, the matchup most envied by the other six teams?

Unfortunately, the Memphis Grizzlies, who "won" the Utah Jazz package, ended up becoming the Jazz's package.

As this year's Western playoffs matchup with the least attention, relying on Boozer and Okur's double cannon formation, the Jazz tormented the young Grizzlies leader Pau Gasol almost every night.
