Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 128: True God Is Never Bound (Added for Reader 2019...5725)_3



He kept sticking close to Qin Yue, clearly wanting to take advantage of Qin Yue's injury.

However, it must be stated.

On the basketball court, "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" often can also mean that the player plays very smartly.

Garnett's full investment at this moment is not just a sign of respect for Qin Yue but also his longing as a player without a championship to become one with a championship.

Due to the injury, being unable to violently break through Garnett's full-force defense is definitely a big regret for Qin Yue in this year's playoffs.

But after being unable to use many talent-based offensive skills due to the injury, Qin Yue instead stepped onto the threshold of a whole new realm.

In this play, Qin Yue first used a ball fake to gain space, then leaned his back against Garnett, and while attempting to turn, suddenly side-stepping to consolidate the ball...

Swish——!

This was a beautifully crafted "floor flow" rhythm pull-up jumper.

Garnett found it hard to describe Qin Yue's move with specific language, but he could use a specific name to express his admiration for Qin Yue's attack:

——Paul Pierce.

It didn't use speed.

Nor did it use any fancy techniques.

Simply using rhythm and fundamentals.

In the previous four battles with the Spurs, Qin Yue, who had repeatedly conversed with Duncan, quietly took a small step forward with the help of his senior.

Coming back, it's Supersonic's offensive turn.

Ray Allen fired his first shot of the night.

Using the pistol strategy, Ray Allen completed a hand-off with Cassell and, while dribbling along the perimeter, found a good opening to shoot with Garnett's screen.

Swish——!

Unlike the Ray Allen remembered by many as only capable of catching and shooting,

Ray Allen during this period still possessed quite good dribbling and shooting ability.

This made the Pistol strategy Carlisle tailored for him able to generate more variations in actual execution, and Ray Allen could also choose freely between dribbling or catch-and-shoot based on his judgment.

"Many people say Ray Allen's play style matches perfectly with Messiah. Charles, what do you think?"

"Whose play style wouldn't match with Messiah? If Messiah were my teammate back then, the Bulls Dynasty wouldn't exist; it would be the Charles Barkley Dynasty."

"Charles, if your teammate was Messiah, are you sure you'd not become the second Scottie Pippen?"

"..."

TNT TV Station, Barkley and Smith were back at their daily bickering session.

Davis brought the ball past the half-court and, seeing Murphy had already tied up Yao Ming at the top of the arc, directly dribbled from the side to forcefully attack the "Alien's" zone.

Bam——!

At Oracle Arena, Davis, fully stepping on the gas pedal, pulled off a one-armed tomahawk that incited the golden waves to churn on-site.

This was a perfect individual offensive judgment, Davis successfully seized the moment of the weakest interior defense by Supersonics.

"It's a pity Warriors didn't have a first-round pick in 08... otherwise, figuring out a way to draft Russell Westbrook to succeed Davis would be nice too."

Beside him, Qin Yue, witnessing Davis' explosive dunk, pondered in his heart.

Unlike those fans who, in the future, demonized Westbrook,

Qin Yue had watched several of my Turtle's games in Nuggets before his crossing and was very sure that he could definitely coexist well with Westbrook.

The only regrettable thing is, Westbrook's draft position in his memory is too high...

Unless the Warriors bleed heavily to give up championship contention, otherwise, it's destined to be difficult to acquire a pick to draft my Turtle.

Supersonics on offense, Yao Ming used Garnett's screen to get deep in the low post.

This is an area that even an uninjured Qin Yue could not stop Brother Yao.

Because when facing O'Neal, Qin Yue could choose to foul to enjoy the big shark's free throws.

But if choosing to foul Yao Ming...

Then Qin Yue might as well just give Brother Yao two points.

This season's playoffs, like in Qin Yue's memory, Yao Ming could average nearly 10 free throws per game.

Although in the past life of Qin Yue, the question of whether Yao Ming had superstar calls was controversial among many fans.

But Qin Yue can now tell future fans, the reason Yao didn't seem to have superstar calls was simply due to his peak career being too short and later Adelman transforming Yao into a 7-foot-6 "running front court."

If Yao Ming truly had no superstar calls, he wouldn't have been able to average 10.7 free throws per game in the historical 06/07 season playoffs.

However, due to the short peak career and the inevitability of a big center like Yao getting some reverse superstar calls during regular season, similar to peak O'Neal, this made Yao seem to have no superstar calls.

But in the playoffs, whether it was O'Neal or Yao, to prevent them from getting injured, the referees would still make the necessary calls.

Thus, when Yao Ming was lighting it up in the Warrior's Forbidden Area, Qin Yue didn't choose to foul him.

Next, in answer to Yao Ming's Answer.Ball, Qin Yue attempted to use a high double-screen with Murphy to force Yao Ming to switch.

Unfortunately, Garnett, with his nimble body, slipped past the pick in the first instance.

Through several encounters with Garnett's full-force, Qin Yue didn't doubt that if Garnett were five years younger, he would certainly be the best player in the world to defend against him.

Though Garnett stepped into the league as early as 1995, in every way, he looked more like a modern forward.

He possessed the defensive area any team needs and the lateral movement ability to rotate to the perimeter anytime.

His offensive style allowed him to provide good spacing for teammates on the court.

Moreover, he even had excellent passing ability.

From the "big ball era" to the "small ball era," Garnett could perfectly integrate into both.

In Qin Yue's eyes, Garnett was an absolutely perfect second-in-command template.

At this moment, Qin Yue admitted he indeed felt a bit "jealous" of Yao Ming.

Coupled with the grievance brought about by the injury.

In the process of initiating the next offense with the ball, overly engrossed, Qin Yue actually forgot he was still a "sick person."

Boom——!

At the top of the arc, after a powerful dribble, Qin Yue suddenly accelerated and charged straight into Supersonics' restricted area under Garnett's pestering.

Due to worrying about Qin Yue's pass, Garnett kept a certain distance to remain vigilant.

However, it was precisely this distance that provided Qin Yue with ample takeoff space.

The next second, Garnett was ruthlessly posterized by Qin Yue without any defense!

"He can still fly like this?"

TNT TV Station, Barkley's mouth suddenly turned into an O-shape.

And while Barkley was still in shock, Smith hurriedly grabbed the microphone and said, "This is a moment blessed by God! Messiah is not Achilles, he won't be bound by Achilles' heel!"
