Chapter 104 Growth and Transformation! (-word collection! Happy New Year's Eve!)
Oracle Arena.

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, Qin Yue walked to the center of the venue and received the ring that belonged to him.

Qin Yue admitted that this was indeed a magical ring - it cost about $100,000, but its value could not be measured in money. On the front was the Bay Bridge with Qin Yue's jersey number engraved on it, and on the side was the capital "QINYUE". With the embellishment of the exaggerated diamonds and platinum, its overall shape was far from beautiful, but the moment he put it on, Qin Yue understood why it was called the "Lord of the Rings" in the NBA.

Happiness, excitement, satisfaction - when all kinds of emotions surged into his heart in an instant, in Qin Yue's opinion, no matter how beautiful the words were, they could not describe his mood at the moment, but what he could confirm was that he was addicted.

Especially when Qin Yue noticed that two pairs of eyes in the next half were staring at the ring on his finger.
It is hard to believe that this superstar who is regarded as the best player in the NBA would hide his big hand with ring behind his back like a child.
It was as if he was afraid that someone would snatch his ring away.

The owners of those two gazes were Qin Yue's senior Josh Howard and the Mavericks' star player Dirk Nowitzki.

At this moment, looking at Qin Yue's cautious expression, Howard and Nowitzki both showed awkward smiles.

They couldn’t understand Qin Yue’s mood, but they could feel how precious the ring was from Qin Yue’s cautiousness.

In fact, the reactions of other Warriors players when receiving the rings were even more crazy than Qin Yue's. For example, before receiving the ring, Baron Davis said it was just an ordinary piece of jewelry.

"Daddy" was slapped in the face by himself again, because the moment Davis put on the ring, tears of excitement burst out almost at the same time.

"Woo this. Woo this is absolutely woo woo. This is absolutely the best moment of my life. Woo woo woo."

In the second half of the 04/05 season, when Davis was traded from the Hornets to the Warriors due to a serious injury, how could he have imagined at the time that it was actually God's special care for him?

That night, every Warriors player had a different ring-receiving experience, but what they all had in common was that this "magic ring" made them more determined to win again.

They are not greedy, they just want to win again.
Just one more win!
The pre-match ceremony is over.

On the Warriors bench, Mike Malone, who had already deeply realized how stupid his previous coaching style was, immediately changed his face and said to these championship players with a gentle look: "Our theme tonight is... Enjoy the game!"

Malone did not mention his advanced tactics that still need time to be implemented.

There is no mention of how the five starting players who are about to play should play.

But his simple words "enjoy the game" made those Warriors players who were already dissatisfied with him smile at him the next second.

Tonight, the Warriors continue to have their championship team: Brown, Qin Yue, Artest, Richardson, and Davis.

After a summer of adjustments, the Mavericks sent out a starting five consisting of Dampier, Nowitzki, Howard, Stackhouse and Harris.

Compared with last season's playoffs, Qin Yue noticed that "the best center in the Western Conference" Dampier had lost a lot of weight.

This is also the change that Qin Yue brought to this era.

The era of Shaquille O'Neal is gone forever.

Since in the next era, we must find a way to deal with the explosive creativity exerted by Qin Yue through the advantage of mismatch, the mobility and sweeping ability of the centers will naturally become more important.

Dampier, now 31 years old, is likely to usher in a second spring.

At 6-foot-11, he already has a decent wingspan.

By losing weight, he not only reduced the burden on his body caused by his heavy weight, but also, as his mobility improved, it became easier for him to catch the ball during the pick-and-roll.

Qin Yue felt like he was the savior of this era - by crushing O'Neal's crown, he indirectly saved those centers who would be crushed by their weight due to their constant weight gain.

In the NBA, no one knows how many centers collapsed from excessive weight gain in the first decade of the 21st century in order to compete with O'Neal and later Yao Ming.

In the center of the venue, Brown, who successfully lost weight to 121 kilograms this summer, obviously regained his former feeling when he jumped.

You know, when he ran for the election, Kwame Brown, who was the same height as Qin Yue when wearing shoes, was an extremely talented person who could easily jump out a vertical jump of more than 90 centimeters.

The Warriors easily won the ball.

Davis, who was responsible for dribbling across half court, handed the team’s first shot of the night to Qin Yue.

Seeing this, Howard immediately stuck close to Qin Yue.

This is the method that General Johnson thought could restrict Qin Yue after pondering it for a whole summer.

That is, use the more mobile No. 3 player to prevent Qin Yue from breaking through from the outside and interfere with Qin Yue's shot by getting close to him.

And arrange a center with sweeping ability in the interior so that he can fill in the position at any time.

Qin Yue's senior Howard has excellent lateral mobility and a pair of enviable long arms. Theoretically, he is indeed the most suitable player in the Mavericks to be responsible for guarding Qin Yue on the outside.

But on the court, facing Qin Yue, who performed a drag step right after a powerful blast, Howard was forced to stop entangled with Qin Yue and gave up enough space for the opponent to complete a pull-up shot.

Qin Yue did not miss this excellent opportunity.

He held the ball, raised his hand - after moving the basketball to the highest point very smoothly, Qin Yue calmly shot the three-pointer.

Swish-!
Why can numerical values only be used as a reference?
ESPN, turning its attention to tonight's special guest Tim Hardaway, A-Smith smiled and said, "Hey, Tim, can you please analyze Messiah's personal attack just now from a professional's perspective? We all know that you are a Warriors legend, you can't be partial to Messiah."

Hearing this, Hardaway smiled and said, "I only focused on analyzing two details in this offense. The first detail is that Messiah opened up a safe dribbling distance by blasting the ball hard, and the second detail is that he successfully mobilized Josh Howard's defensive footsteps by using the drag step."

A-Smith nodded and said, "In the NBA, these two technical moves are not uncommon, but why can Messiah always use them to get rid of the defensive players?"

In response, Hardaway explained: "The Messiah is 6 feet 11 inches tall and has a 7-foot 6-inch wingspan. Man, do you know how exaggerated it is when he performs these two skills like a guard?"

How is this an exaggeration?

First is the confrontation level.

Qin Yue is a heavy-duty center who weighs 124 kilograms. Therefore, when he is blasting the ball vigorously, ordinary defensive players simply cannot stop his violent start.

The second is the dribbling range.

Qin Yue's range when performing the drag step is much greater than that of the short guards, so as long as the defensive player's footsteps are mobilized by his drag step, then next, when he passes the ball, the space he gets will be much greater than those short guards.

The combination of these two created Qin Yue's desperate mismatch advantage on the court.

Simply put, Qin Yue's physical hardware determines that when his technical attributes exceed a certain threshold, once he combines the technology with his own hardware.
The chemical reaction produced by these two is definitely not just one plus one equals two.

ESPN, after analyzing Qin Yue's technical moves in detail, Hardaway added: "The Messiah has infinitely magnified the mismatch advantage brought by his stature through his incredible combination of man and ball. In addition, his three-point shooting percentage last season reached 36.5%, which makes him even more difficult to defend when he attacks with the ball on the outside."

In fact, at this moment, Hardaway still seemed a bit embarrassed.

Especially when he mentioned Qin Yue’s three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season.

36.5% - In the current era, this result is definitely at an upper-middle level.

However, when Hardaway mentioned this data, he obviously forgot about the easy shooting opportunities that Qin Yue always took advantage of by taking advantage of his mismatch advantage.

For example, in the pull-up shot just now, Howard was completely gotten rid of by Qin Yue's dragging step, and he couldn't even interfere with Qin Yue's shot. Therefore, this was a completely open three-point shot in theory.

In addition, the threat posed by Qin Yue to the opponent's inside attack will inevitably force the defense to let him shoot three-pointers in certain rounds.
So is Qin Yue’s 36.5% three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season really an excellent statistic?

Why did Qin Yue refuse to participate in the three-point contest?
In the playoffs against the Spurs, Qin Yue pretended to provoke Popovich with a three-pointer. Why did he finally kill the Spurs by using his mismatch advantage to create a strong inside attack?

In the finals against the Heat, why did Qin Yue increase the frequency of his hard drives to the basket and the number of times he used jump shots from the free throw line to finish?
Isn't it because Qin Yue is very clear that his current three-point shooting is not stable enough?
Except for some hot and hot nights, the reason why Qin Yue was able to shoot up to 36.5% of his three-pointers in his rookie season was more due to his good shooting environment that was far superior to other shooters.
(①: Why do the three-point shots of Qin Yue in the book always seem to go in? Because the highlight editing method is used to describe the game scene, which will focus on the wonderful shots and try to skip the missed shots and mistakes)

Of course, if Qin Yue's three-pointer can be more stable
Then, with the mutual complementation, you can fully understand that even if he has the same three-point value as a certain shooter, his final hit rate presented on the technical statistics panel is very likely to be better than that of the opponent.

On the court, it was the Warriors' turn to attack again.

This time, Qin Yue performed a perfect drop step breakthrough in front of his senior Howard.

Holding the ball, lowering the center of gravity, stepping sideways - on the right side of the court, at the moment when Howard was forced to slide and stick close to him, Qin Yue once again showed the world how buggy his long legs were.

As we all know, the NBA three-point line is 7.25 meters away from the basket.

At this distance, Qin Yue only needs three steps to get to the basket.

Therefore, when Howard was forced to give up the focus.
The next second, Howard's heart was undoubtedly broken as he looked at Qin Yue who suddenly passed by him.

Qin Yue never needed Wade’s explosive starting ability.

There is no need for the first step acceleration that was as fast as flying that Hill and McGrady had in the past and was famous all over the world.

Because of his long legs, he has a built-in speed-up BUFF!

Mavericks penalty area, time to shoot.

Bang-dang——!
At the Oracle Arena, Qin Yue took three steps into the Mavericks basket and completely ignited the scene with a one-arm gliding slam dunk.

ESPN, Hardaway lamented: "When the Messiah combines technology and physical talent perfectly, as he said himself, there is nothing he can't do."

Avery Johnson spent an entire summer designing a defense specifically for Qin Yue, and in less than half a quarter, it proved why theory is just theory.

then
In the second half of the game, the Mavericks had to play zone defense.

Seeing this, in the ESPN studio, A. Smith immediately turned his attention to another special guest - Jeff Van Gundy, who announced his resignation this summer and prepared to switch to commentary after Yao Ming was traded.

"Hey, Jeff, we all know that Messiah is an expert in breaking zone defense in today's league. Can you analyze the Warriors' strategy for breaking zone defense from a professional's perspective?"

Upon hearing this, Van Gundy said: "This is a standard way to break the double team defense through high pick-and-roll."

At this moment, instead of analyzing how the Warriors broke the Mavericks' double-team defense, Van Gundy would rather talk about a story about growth and transformation.

This summer, with the doubts of a professional, Van Gundy reviewed all of the Warriors' games last season on his own.

This was a review that particularly surprised Van Gundy.

Because in the process of studying the Warriors, Van Gundy discovered.
Qin Yue had a triple-double in his career debut, and his passing and supporting abilities at that time were completely different from the level he later showed in the playoffs.

If Qin Yue's triple-double in his career debut was hard-earned, then in the following games he had quietly accumulated the capital for his transformation through one game after another.

In Van Gundy's opinion, Qin Yue's rapid growth in supporting the team is related to the fact that the Warriors gave him a lot of ball rights in his rookie season.

His increasingly unstoppable ability to break through double-team defenses is thanks to the other 29 NBA teams.

"Jeff, you mean that as early as last season's regular season, NBA teams have already noticed that Messiah's mismatches always give them headaches?"

Van Gundy nodded and said, "At that time, we would not use the word 'crushing destruction' to describe Messiah's advantage in mismatches on the court. But when facing the Warriors, NBA teams have already unanimously regarded zone defense as a way to limit Messiah's victory."

He continues to grow through game after game and evolves amidst the fierce beatings from NBA teams.

Van Gundy knew very well that Qin Yue's transformation in his rookie season was no accident.

Because he had already started accumulating coordination experience since college, he just needed a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Maybe in the NBA, no matter how much ball possession or how long you give certain players, they will never understand the true meaning of coordination.

But genius is called genius for a reason.
Isn’t it because the so-called talent cannot constrain or stump those geniuses?

ESPN, after listening to Van Gundy's point of view, A-Smith laughed and said: "Jeff, if you say so, then NBA teams are digging their own graves, right?"

Van Gundy added: "I think Messiah has worked hard to beat those teams that are always going to use a zone defense against the Warriors."

Talent is important, but Qin Yue's daily hard work in studying tactics is indeed the key to his gradual growth into a master of coordination.

As early as last season's match against the Warriors, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan had expressed his admiration for Qin Yue's amazing learning ability several times.

As I said, throughout his college years, Qin Yue did not have a single day that was wasted - whether it was Prosser or Paul, Qin Yue learned a lot of experience from them, and through constant thinking, transformed it into his own tactical knowledge reserves.

"He officially completed his transformation before the start of the playoffs last season, but people's attention was attracted by the 71 points he scored in the final stage of the regular season, thus ignoring his evolution that had been completed through long-term accumulation."

Yes, compared to that more intuitive athletic talent that can be seen with the naked eye with just a little activation, Qin Yue's attainments in supporting the team can be said to have gone through an extremely long period of accumulation.

From his sophomore year to his junior year, and then to his rookie season.

It was not until his assisting talent was fully activated in higher-level games that he grew into a true inside magician.
(②: The foreshadowing here comes from Chapter 71 of the original text, which mentioned twice that Qin Yue's passing and vision began to grow rapidly after he entered the NBA, a higher level of competition)
In the second half of the first quarter, the Warriors' offensive round.

Dampier and Howard teamed up to stop Qin Yue's attack from the low post, and immediately blocked Qin Yue's attack angle by encircling him.

However, the cunning Brown had already been lurking near the baseline.

This cooperation is the positive change that Mike Malone has brought to this Warriors team.

That is, when Qin Yue holds the ball in the low post, Brown must take the initiative to approach Qin Yue and create a passing route for Qin Yue.

This is completely different from last season.

Because last season, when Qin Yue gave Brown those assists, it was more of Qin Yue's passes that led him to run.

On the court, Qin Yue observed Brown's movements and pressed the pass button without hesitation, and happily accepted the assist.

Then, Brown lifted the ball into the air and teamed up with Qin Yue to produce a wonderful five-point play.

Although the Warriors only have a rough framework now
But under Malone's tactical system, Qin Yue, who was officially promoted to the fourth position ball-holding core, found it significantly easier to get assists on the court.

If we say that the Warriors relied on Qin Yue's personal ability and his explosive influence to drive the entire team last season, then what Malone hopes to see is that the entire Warriors team can actively create opportunities for Qin Yue to exert explosive influence through various advanced tactics and more running positions.

The two are not the same.

Moreover, it will be reflected in Qin Yue's technical statistics panel in the most intuitive way.

After the first quarter, the score was 24 to 36.

单节6投3中，其中三分球2投1中，罚球2罚2中的秦岳总计砍下了9分5篮板5助攻1封盖1抢断。

In the first quarter tonight, Qin Yue filled his technical statistics panel effortlessly.

Because the Warriors are more proactive in getting closer to him, it will make his personal offense and ball-handling on the court easier and more relaxed. This is especially important during the Warriors' long regular season journey.

Maybe in the playoffs, the Warriors will inevitably have to rely on Qin Yue to open up the situation, but in the regular season, energy saving and efficiency are the kingly way.

In the second quarter, Qin Yue rested for four minutes.

At this time, due to the unfavorable start of the first quarter,
Young General Johnson also showed another characteristic of his - trying anything possible when desperate.

There are many reasons why the Mavericks had a bad start tonight.
For example, the players were not in good form, Nowitzki did not get enough singles opportunities on the court, and Johnson was wavering between winning by defense or playing offense against the Warriors.
But compared with Johnson's adjustments in the second quarter, the above reasons can only be described as a drop in the ocean.

Oracle Arena.

Johnson, who felt he had to ask Nelson to turn the tables, fielded a lineup that would make even Nelson himself cry: Diop, Dampier, Nowitzki, Terry and Barea.

How to evaluate Avery Johnson's whimsical five-man combination on the court?
It is no exaggeration to say that you can completely understand the Mavericks' mixed lineup as pizza made of pineapple, dumplings made of strawberries, buns made of apples, and Sichuan hot pot with cheese as the base.

Johnson hopes to use the twin towers of Diop and Dampier to reduce the frequency of Qin Yue and other Warriors players' attacks on the Mavericks' inside line.

But because the Mavericks needed to catch up in the second quarter, in order to strengthen the offense, he moved Nowitzki to the third position and sent Terry and Barea on the court respectively.

In Johnson's imagination, this should be a lineup with height, three-point shooting and speed.

Can be used in actual competitions.
On the court, led by Qin Yue who was back on the field, the Warriors widened the gap between them and the Mavericks in an instant.

Because neither Diop nor Dampier has shooting range.

Therefore, if these two players appear on the court at the same time, they will only have the effect of compressing their own offensive space.

Nowitzki isn't even fast enough to play the 4th position, but Johnson put him at the 3rd position.
In this case, who should be responsible for the defensive end of the Mavericks' front line?
Who should be responsible for assisting in defense?

Once the defensive support of the forward line is lost, the backcourt composed of Terry and Barea will be in trouble.
You know, of these two brothers, one is actually over 1.8 meters tall, and the other is only 1.75 meters tall.

If you don't understand, just ask, in the NBA, what is the difference between fielding such a backcourt combination and not giving them corresponding defensive support and directly giving points to the opponent?
Moreover, this was just one of the fatal mistakes Johnson made in the second quarter.

Because under his chaotic command, Nowitzki gradually lost himself.

then
Johnson thought that the problem was not with his own tactics but that Nowitzki was too weak. He immediately handed over the Mavericks' shooting rights to Qin Yue, the senior with a very distinctive appearance.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Mavericks' offensive round.

As the Warriors continued to widen the score gap, Josh Howard, who returned to the game, was extremely anxious.

However, with Artest's strenuous defense, Howard created a shooting opportunity by taking advantage of the change in rhythm, but he successfully converted it into an assist in the next second.

At this moment, the more anxious Howard became, the more he couldn't control the offense that he usually had at his fingertips.

Coming back, the Warriors have the ball.

Qin Yue cut into the Mavericks' three-second zone with his back to the basket, and pretended to make a jump shot against Dampier who was in place to assist in defense, but in fact he made a dunk pass to Brown.

This is another seemingly clever move by Qin Yue.
But the main credit goes to Brown's running assist.

In the NBA, many of the gorgeous passes are often inseparable from the excellent off-ball running of the offensive players.

Qin Yue would not be so self-righteous as to think that his support and passing had no rivals just because he pressed the pass button so frequently tonight.

Especially the assist data obtained through tactical support. In Qin Yue's view, it can only prove that he plays as a team and cares about his teammates.

of course
Because Qin Yue has a big heart, he doesn’t mind putting on more assists data while fully proving himself as a team player.

At the end of the first half, the score was 40 to 74.

Whether in the past life or in this life, the Mavericks led by Johnson are the backdrop of the famous tragedy in the NBA.

In addition to Kobe's three-quarter "60+" game last season, Qin Yue clearly remembered that it was at the beginning of the 06/07 season that the Mavericks were defeated 76-107 by the Rockets led by Yao and McGrady at the time.

Why does Qin Yue remember the score of this game so clearly?
Because of this game, McGrady, who was in poor condition, only scored 8 points.
（③：该役，姚明16投12中，罚球12罚12中，拿到了36分6篮板）

In short
Relying on the Mavericks' extremely wealthy financial resources, Johnson, who was free to squander, did lead the Mavericks to an extremely good regular season record during his coaching period through a more balanced offense and defense.

But in stark contrast to the regular season, Johnson's career playoff winning percentage is only 48.9%.

If an accident occurs during a game
Johnson will use his "mysterious operation" to kick the Mavericks into the endless abyss.

That's right, the unexpected defeats they suffered in the regular season were caused by Johnson always getting sick for no apparent reason on certain nights.

In the third quarter, Qin Yue had a triple-double in the first half, scoring a total of 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. In fact, from the beginning of the game to now, he has not paid attention to the real-time task titled "Qin Yue's Double Life" issued to him by the system.

After all, it's a basketball game.
Sometimes the more you want to win more points from your opponent, the less likely you are to win.

That night, Qin Yue was just filling in his technical statistics panel with a normal heart.

As a result, Oracle Arena
Before the third quarter was over, the Dallas Mavericks took the initiative to replace all their main players.

Because when they withdrew their main players, the score difference between the two teams had reached 51 to 91 on the scoreboard.

On the court, at the moment when he was replaced by his teammates, when Nowitzki recalled the flag raising before the game, recalled Qin Yue putting on the ring - he took a last dull look at the scoreboard. No one knew what Nowitzki was thinking at that time.

But what is certain is that Nowitzki's chest is starting to hurt again.

"Softie Dirk" returned to the bench with a frustrated look on his face.

Then he watched with great despair as the Warriors' substitutes continued to beat the Mavericks' substitutes on the court.

On the night when the flag was raised, the Warriors players' beating of the Mavericks players lasted until the second half of the fourth quarter.

In the game, the collapse of the Mavericks players had already made the score of the game meaningless.

In the NBA, is the score everything?

The answer is yes and no.

The reason is that, as the final presentation of a team's performance on the field, the score can tell you who the winner is.

The reason why this is not possible is that in the NBA where everyone has the opportunity to defeat the other side, a score that is too different can often only prove that one side was "beaten" by the opponent on a certain night.

The final score was 68 to 126.

The Mavericks were completely "beaten" by the Warriors in the game and suffered a humiliating defeat on the road with an incredible 58-point difference.

This is the Dallas Mavericks' largest single-game losing margin in the regular season since the team was founded.

Before the start of the regular season, Avery Johnson, who threatened that if he were given another chance, it would be no problem for him to beat the Warriors, personally nailed himself and this Mavericks team to the pillar of shame.

But this is definitely a great honor for the Mavericks players.
A very unfair shame.

Because after the game, when Johnson took the initiative to put the blame on Nowitzki, both reporters and fans rushed to mock "softie Dirk".

On the Internet, the photo of Nowitzki sitting on the bench with a dull expression has long become a world-famous painting that fans use to exhibit everywhere.

Do the Mavericks players and Nowitzki need to take the blame for this "58 Tragedy" that is destined to be passed down to future generations?

Of course, because this is the result they achieved themselves.

But if we only attribute this shame to the poor performance of the players.
In Qin Yue's eyes, that was somewhat unreasonable.

After the game, Qin Yue received the mission reward of [Qin Yue's Double Life] as he wished before being interviewed, and opened the two legendary defense and technical random attribute gift packs one after another.

"Congratulations to the host for increasing your lateral movement potential by 2 and your steal potential by 2."

"Congratulations to the host for increasing his dribbling potential by 5."

Again. And again, it's fucking dribbling?

Qin Yue felt that he was destined to become the 211 cm tall Kyrie Irving in this life.

After gaining these 5 points of dribbling potential, his dribbling potential has risen to an astonishing 91.

Why was Qin Yue's personal ball-handling offense last season increasingly difficult to guard against in the playoffs? Because compared to his career debut, his dribbling attribute had risen from 81 to 86.

From his sophomore, junior and rookie seasons, by completing one task after another, Qin Yue gradually accumulated the dribbling talent that his body should not have.

And in the regular season last season, the tactical freedom and large amount of ball possession given to him by the Warriors triggered a qualitative change in his dribbling attributes.

Qin Yue knew very well that after his dribbling attribute exceeded 80, each point of improvement in his dribbling attribute would bring him changes.

Qin Yue had asked legendary trainer Tim Grover to evaluate his dribbling skills at different stages of his career.

Sophomore year.

When Qin Yue's dribbling attribute exceeded 75, Grover commented: "You now have the dribbling ability of an NBA starting small forward. I think once you form a mismatch in college basketball, it will be difficult for your opponents to stop you from attacking from the outside."

And rookie season.

When Qin Yue's dribbling attribute reached 81, Grover said frankly: "This is incredible. You already have the dribbling ability of an NBA starting point guard. With your current combination of man and ball, even in the NBA, I believe you can easily penetrate the opponent's defense from the outside."

As for this summer
Regarding Qin Yue's dribbling attribute that has reached 86, Grover sighed and said, "Your dribbling is already at the elite level in the NBA. Considering your height, I can't describe your dribbling talent in words, because even I have never seen such an appalling talent."

Under the extremely strict scoring system of the [Mountain Top] system.

Because dribbling also includes many attributes that are difficult to visualize with numbers, such as ball-holding coordination, dribbling connection ability, and ball-holding acceleration ability.

Therefore, Qin Yue knew very well that as long as he could train hard day and night and fully digest these five newly acquired dribbling potentials, his personal ball-holding offense would definitely rise to a whole new level!

Height 211 cm, wingspan 228 cm, weight 124 kg.

His athletic talent astounded the basketball world during the physical test, coupled with his superb dribbling skills.

The humiliating defeat suffered by the Mavericks in the regular season opener did more than just nail them to the pillar of shame.

The good fortune they gave to Qin Yue by chance
Qin Yue's talent has quietly been raised to a higher level!
Qin Yue's dynamic talent and technical talent have always complemented each other.

Even the visual data provided by the [Mountain Top] system cannot reflect his final performance on the field, because numbers are always just numbers.

"I don't think this big win has any special meaning. It's just an ordinary victory. The NBA has 82 regular season games. We can only achieve our goals if we keep our feet on the ground."

After the game, in an interview, Qin Yue did not rub salt into the wounds between the Mavericks players and Nowitzki.

Because he never likes to kick someone when he's down.

Moreover, Qin Yue had no obligation to tell the world that General Johnson was more than 58% to blame for the Mavericks' -point defeat.

after all
In Qin Yue's eyes, the Mavericks coached by Johnson are a "good team".

Every time the Warriors play against them, it's like New Year's Day, as they can always have a delicious meal of beef dumplings.

"After losing to the Golden State Warriors by 58 points in the regular season opener, Dirk Nowitzki shed sad tears in the locker room. It seems that the German star, who has always been cowardly, has not learned how to face each game with strength." - ESPN News Express

"In the Lakers' regular season opener this year, Lakers star Kobe Bryant scored 21 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, while the team's new player Pau Gasol scored 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. After the game, when talking about his new teammate, Kobe admitted that Pau Gasol was definitely the smartest big man he had ever seen." - Los Angeles Times

"When talking about the Cavaliers' goals this year, LeBron James, who led the Cavaliers to a 97-91 victory over the Hawks in the opening game and scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block for the team, said that in his opinion, the Cavaliers' current lineup needs to be strengthened and they are not a super team." - Cleveland Plain Dealer

"The Seattle SuperSonics convincingly defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 104-75 on the road. After the game, when talking about the two new teammates, 'Big-Yao' and Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett joked that the SuperSonics had a 7-foot-6 Michael Jordan and a Michael Jordan who could shoot three-pointers." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“对于自己在揭幕战仅出战29分钟这件事，为勇士拿到24分14篮板15助攻3封盖1抢断的弥赛亚在接受本报采访时，如果可以，他也不想三节打卡下班。”——《旧金山纪事报》

After defeating the Mavericks and taking a day off, the Warriors easily defeated the Timberwolves, who had already started a slump this season, at home.

"New Wolf King" Rashard Lewis was the most eye-catching player in the Timberwolves in this game.

In the whole game, he completed a total of 28 shots and made 12 of them. Including free throws, he scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists for the Wolves.

Although Lewis's efficiency is far from high, this strong "new wolf king" has repeatedly hit key three-pointers for the Wolves on the court and helped Qin Yue gain valuable.
A chance to play in the fourth quarter.

Unlike the previous opening game, this match against Wolves
The defensive performance of the Warriors players on the court was not to say that each one was more lax than the other, but at least it could be said that everyone was defending with their eyes.

This
This is also the change that Mike Malone brought to this Warriors team.

Malone had already made marks on the Warriors' 06/07 season schedule, and used these marks to tell the players which games they needed to devote their full attention to and which games they could face in a relatively relaxed state.

"The NBA regular season has always been a marathon. The one who starts first does not necessarily have an advantage, and the one who runs faster does not necessarily have the last laugh.

In the regular season, we can’t fight hard against the opponent in every game. That’s irrational and can’t guarantee that we will have sufficient physical strength after entering the playoffs.”

As Malone gradually adjusted his mentality, he set up a framework for the Warriors and formulated a corresponding regular season strategy.
After just two regular season games, Qin Yue understood why the Denver Nuggets in his memory had a special liking for "burning out the juice from the fire".

According to the schedule, after two home games, the Warriors will officially start their Eastern Conference away trip this year.

just
