Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 556 - 184: Elected with Full Votes, Worthy of Public Expectation (Pleaded Subscription, Monthly Tickets!)_3
Additionally, the 2009/2010 NBA Best Lineups and Best Defensive Lineups are as follows:
Best Lineup First Team: Howard, Qin Yue, James, Kobe, Wade.
Best Lineup Second Team: Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Durant, Nash, Paul.
Best Lineup Third Team: Big Gasol, Duncan, Anthony, Roy, Deron.
Best Defensive Lineup First Team: Howard, Qin Yue, Wallace, Kobe, Rondo.
Best Defensive Lineup Second Team: Brown, Duncan, James, Wade, Paul.
This year, the biggest controversy in the Best Lineup selection was Paul edging out Deron for the Second Team.
In terms of performance, Deron’s Hawks were fourth in the East, but Paul’s Jazz were seventh in the West.
In terms of stats, Deron averaged "19+9", and Paul averaged "18+9".
Qin Yue doesn’t want to say Paul stole Deron’s Second Team spot.
But in fact, it’s indeed the case. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
As Qin Yue’s two tough teammates, Wallace and Brown made the Best Defensive Lineup due to their outstanding regular season performances.
After all, with sieve-like defenders like Nash and Curry at the point guard position, it’s hard for Wallace and Brown not to stand out defensively.
However, Brown was extremely dissatisfied with only making the Best Defensive Second Team.
Because in his view, his defensive abilities far surpassed Howard’s.
Also, Big Gasol clearly played the four position for the Lakers while his brother Little Gasol played center, so why was Big Gasol named the Third Team center by the judges?
"I should have been the Double First Team center," Brown said angrily, "The incompetent league has stolen the honor that should have belonged to the second greatest center in history!"
On the night of the 3rd.
The Warriors, who returned with a bounty from the awards, hosted a game against the Mavericks.
Before the game, Nowitzki respectfully said to Qin Yue, "Congratulations on winning the MVP. You are the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, and it’s a well-deserved honor."
On the court, seeing the awe in King Nowitzki’s eyes and acknowledging his genuine congratulations, Qin Yue felt what it truly means that a real crown is never gained through marketing but through winning hearts.
While Nike’s marketing might have given Qin Yue an imposing presence.
If Qin Yue’s skills didn’t match the position of GOAT, then no matter how glamorous the packaging, it would just be an emperor’s new clothes.
In the center of the court, after the warm-up, the starting players from both teams stood on the court.
The Mavericks’ starters were Marcin Gortat, Nowitzki, Marion, Butler, Jason Kidd.
The Warriors’ starters were Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Bell, Nash.
Even during the pre-game warm-up, Qin Yue noticed Nash’s exceptional condition.
It’s well known that back in the day, the Mavericks Owner Cuban preferred to offer Dampier a sky-high renewal contract rather than keeping Nash.
So since then, every time he played against the Mavericks, Nash was full of endless motivation.
Thus, for the first attack, Qin Yue decisively moved up and coordinated a handoff with Nash.
Due to Jason Kidd’s failed attempt to navigate the screen, Marion was forced to expand the defensive area and delayed his old teammate Nash.
Taking the chance, Qin Yue quickly cut inside, drawing the attention of both Jason Kidd and Marion, and without adjusting, directly back-passed to Nash behind his head.
Seeing this, the usually patient Nash wasted no time, slicing through with a rapid three-pointer, carving a thick slice of steak off the Mavericks’ back.
Swish!
"Steve, you can let loose in this playoff series."
During the retreat to defense, knowing that a big part of his first assist title was due to Nash’s assist stats being overshadowed by his own, Qin Yue patted Nash’s back and said.
Hearing this, Nash nodded, "I won’t hold back in this series."
Hold back?
If, when facing other teams, Nash could always remain calm.
Then, against this Mavericks team, who once treated him coldly, Nash was clearly like Xiao Yan heading for a three-year appointment.
Back on their end, with the Mavericks’ offensive.
In Nash’s eyes, Nalanci, using two successive screens, switched Wallace onto himself.
Facing the Warriors, the Mavericks coach Woodson’s offensive strategy wasn’t complicated.
Simply put, as long as Nalanci didn’t match up against Qin Xuner, half of the Mavericks’ offensive tactics were successful.
Outside, against Wallace, who made the Best Defensive First Team, Nowitzki used his rhythm to get Wallace off the ground and nailed a slow-paced jump shot.
to 3.
Then, back to the Warriors’ possession.
Nash, with only the rim in his sights tonight, used Qin Yue’s screen to break through to the Mavericks’ paint.
To see Nash aggressively step on the gas and charge for the team during a match...
Qin Yue truly found it difficult to imagine how much Nash despised this Mavericks team.
Under the basket, Nash scored with an underhand layup.
Marcin Gortat’s help defense was timely.
But in the latter part of his career, having achieved a finishing rate above 70% under the basket for three consecutive seasons (09/10 season to 11/12 season), Nash used his soft layup touch and varied and tricky pace to teach today’s league youngsters who only knew brute force a valuable lesson.
"Watch carefully and learn well," on the Warriors’ bench, Ma Long turned back and earnestly said to Curry, "Stephen, if you want to become a truly great guard, then you can’t just be a three-point shooter in the future."
Hearing this, Curry nodded in agreement like an obedient student.
On the court, it’s Mavericks’ possession, and Butler while making a cross-court pass, clearly underestimated Qin Yue’s defensive reach.
Qin Yue stretched out his hand, successfully tipping the ball to Nash.
Then, Qin Yue immediately took large strides towards the Mavericks’ paint.
However, instead of passing it to Qin Yue as he usually would, Nash dribbled up to the three-point line and stopped.
In that instant, all the Mavericks’ retreating defenders were drawn to Qin Yue, leaving Nash, who wanted to settle his score with Cuban, unguarded.
Hence, Nash pressed the trigger button again, sinking a transition three-pointer!
Moreover, after scoring, Nash immediately found the Mavericks Owner Cuban sitting amidst the arena’s golden wave.
At that moment, with a fierce expression, Nash seemed to be saying:
— Thirty years of tides in the east, thirty years of tides in the west, never underestimate the young!
