Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 400 - 134: Is This Something You Can Learn Just by Wanting to? (Added for the proud leader of the scum!) _2
On the right side of the court, upon receiving the ball, Qin Yue took a deep breath and exploded into a strong dribble, cutting inside with the ball.
Feeling the pressure doubled, Garnett quickly slid to keep up without hesitation.
But the next second, Qin Yue suddenly stopped and pulled up for the jumper, not giving Garnett even a split second to react.
Swish—!
On the sidelines, witnessing this moment, Durant couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
Oden also didn’t forget to praise his competitor: "Kevin, many people say your playing style is very similar to the Messiah’s, and you will surely make it big in the future."
In Qin Yue’s previous life, Durant’s dribbling skills really matured during the later stages of his Thunder career.
However, in the NBA, no signature skill has ever been honed suddenly.
In fact, whether it was Jordan or Kobe, or even Durant, you can glimpse their future amazing skills from early career game footage.
And this is also the main reason why Qin Yue believes Brown, after losing weight, could likely regain coordination to develop a barely passable mid-range shot.
After all, without the talent, practicing for twenty more years would still be pointless.
On the court, Qin Yue’s full-force return forced Yao Ming to be even more cautious with his low post back play.
But Yao Ming’s caution also gave Artest ample time to double-team from the side.
Seeing this, Yao Ming was forced to pass the ball.
Garnett calmly took the ball, and with steely determination, hit the two-pointer.
However, before Garnett could pound his chest in celebration, Qin Yue, who actively called for the ball to initiate a fast break, scared the Supersonic players into hastily retreating.
Durant laughed: "Great Emperor... It seems your weight loss was worth it. If it was your old self, you probably would have been beaten into the three-second zone by the Messiah before you could even retreat."
Hearing this, Oden nodded: "My college coach also said that the Messiah changed the whole ecosystem of the basketball world."
Actually, Qin Yue did not change the ecosystem of the basketball world.
He merely corrected the increasingly distorted NBA interior ecosystem caused by O’Neal.
In the 1990s, except for some exceptionally gifted individuals, which center would constantly think about gaining weight?
Including The Dream - Olajuwon, Admiral Robinson, and Gorilla Ewing, these super centers would basically choose an appropriate weight and then stop there.
Until the appearance of O’Neal, which forced many centers to increase their weight to intolerable levels.
Because of this, how many centers experienced premature aging? How many had their careers destroyed?
Qin Yue, undoubtedly is the savior of all NBA interior players of the current era.
On the court, after advancing quickly to the front court, Qin Yue took a stride to accelerate further, aiming to cut inside with the ball, suddenly leaping into the air!
He raised the basketball with one arm, and facing the stunned Garnett, vented all his frustration from playing with injury on this violent slam dunk!
Bam—!
On TNT TV Station, Smith exclaimed in amazement: "This is simply a perfect replica of Shaq’s posterizing dunk over the Admiral during the All-Star Game!"
Next to him, knowing that Qin Yue always disliked O’Neal, Barkley first coughed dryly to remind Smith, then said, "Kenny, I think the Messiah would never like your comment."
At Oracle Arena, "Full Power Special" was almost shattered by "Thanos Qin’s" violent poster dunk.
Moreover, after landing, the deeply resentful Qin Yue didn’t forget to mock Garnett: "Is this your full-defense effort? Can you make my scoring a bit more challenging?"
He’s back. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
At that moment, Garnett confirmed that the Qin Yue he knew was back.
And on the sidelines, just thinking about possibly being set up against Qin Yue in the future made the two popular top-pick prospects break out in a cold sweat.
Back to the Supersonics’ offensive turn.
As the game’s intensity settled down compared to the madness of Game 6, both teams’ offensive launches were clearly more composed tonight.
Yao Ming fell into the low post again.
This time, prepared Yao Ming split the ball the moment he was double-teamed, assisting Posey in hitting the three-pointer from the outside.
On the court, fearing Qin Yue would kick him again, Richardson even learned to answer promptly: "If I guard with just my eyes again, you can trade me to Minnesota."
Hearing this, Qin Yue almost laughed himself faint due to Richardson’s antics.
However, Richardson still couldn’t escape a kick from Qin Yue.
"If you leave open a three-pointer, return it yourself later."
Having taken a kick from Qin Yue, Richardson finally returned the three-pointer after a couple of plays.
Next, it was the Supersonic’s turn to attack.
The "Alien" Cassell hit a mid-range shot using Garnett’s screen.
Cassell’s career mid-range two-pointer success rate is close to 50%, while the long two-pointer success rate has long maintained around 45%.
This is a point guard whose three-point shooting is not very accurate, but mid-range shooting is insanely precise.
But actually, considering Cassell’s soft touch...
In Qin Yue’s view, Cassell was purely a point guard severely delayed by the theory that long twos have higher cost-effectiveness.
Indeed, in a basketball game, it’s inevitable that situations requiring two-pointers for strong offensive plays will arise.
But obviously, assigning this long-two-point strong offensive task to wing players would be more reasonable.
If Cassell could have invested heavily in three-point shooting from the early stages of his career, Qin Yue doesn’t believe this "Alien," who fought through the "Iron and Blood" era, wouldn’t develop a stable three-pointer.
