Chapter 107: Three Pairs of Inheritance (5000 words, please subscribe to the monthly ticket!)

The Warriors' first Eastern Conference road trip of the new season ended with four wins and one loss.

The Miami Heat, after a blood transfusion, became the object of trouble for the Warriors in this Eastern trip.

The younger lineup gives them the capital to speed up with the Warriors.

杰梅因-奥尼尔与闪电侠-韦德在美航球馆联手砍下的70分，令秦岳于比赛当晚为勇士拿到的39分12篮板7助攻3封盖化为了空砍。

Wade, who was swept by the Warriors in last year's finals, finally kept his "horse" this time.

Shaquille O'Neal, who was also caught in the crossfire while sitting at home, unfortunately became the most embarrassed person.

Shaq, who is not afraid of winning but feels awkward when someone is missing, was jointly made a "hot search" by the Los Angeles and Miami media on the night the Warriors lost.

Without that 5-point championship in a single game in the finals, O'Neal, who has lost his fig leaf, no longer needs to face the issue of whether he can maintain his dignity and face in the big reckoning between Los Angeles and Miami. Instead, his historical status and the brilliant record he has achieved in the past are also being liquidated.

The 1990s.

Hakeem Olajuwon, who once topped the list of the four great centers, did encounter "unlucky" circumstances in his later years.

But unlike O'Neal, because Olajuwon has "roots", in this large-scale event to settle O'Neal's historical status, the Houston media, who felt they had to help, immediately brought up the finals when the Rockets swept the Magic 4-0, and wondered: "Why, a player who was swept six times in his career and twice in the finals dared to say that his dominance could be compared with Michael Jordan?"

At the peak of his career, O'Neal never took anyone seriously.

Even if that person is Michael Jordan.

In O'Neal's view, since Jordan's successor Kobe is only worthy of carrying his shoes, then the old man Jordan is just taking advantage of his youth.

In Qin Yue's previous life, he won his fourth championship by relying on Wade, and he created an image of a hero in his later years. O'Neal was able to use his ability to get along with everyone to win himself a decent farewell.

But now, O'Neal's situation is like a wall falling down and everyone is pushing him down.

In competitive sports, this is also something people like to see.

However, compared to the fun of reading the news reports about O'Neill's liquidation
Through the first seven games of the 06/07 season, Qin Yue has deeply felt the difference between the new season and the previous season.

If the 05/06 season was the season with the strictest enforcement after the NBA abolished the Hand-Check rule, then the 06/07 season was a season where both offense and defense coexisted.

Before the start of the regular season, the league held a referee meeting to discuss the penalty standards that should be adopted in the new season.

This routine referee meeting did not attract people's attention at first, but Qin Yue's dead memory was gradually awakened by the referee's penalty scale.
If Qin Yue remembered correctly
In the 06/07 season, the NBA will allow teams to use more intense, more confrontational and more physical defense in some games.

This part of the game includes each team’s key battles and the playoffs.

Current NBA Commissioner David Stern experienced the crazy 1980s.

He knew better than anyone how ugly the NBA was at that time when people were attacking for the sake of attacking.

In Stern's view, offense can certainly win more fans, but if the confrontation brought by defense is lost, the NBA will sooner or later lose its competitiveness.

So how do we describe the league's adjustments to the penalty standards before the start of the regular season?
最直观的反应便是，历史上，曾连续在05/06赛季与06/07赛季打进季后赛的11支球队，有7支球队的场均罚球相比05/06赛季均出现了明显下滑。

As for the other 4 teams.

Apart from the special situation of the Suns①, the average free throw attempts per game of the star players of two other teams also declined compared with the 2/05 season.

(①: Historically, Stoudemire only played three regular season games in the 05/06 season, resulting in the Suns losing an inside attack point)

In Qin Yue's memory, only the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James did it in the 06/07 playoffs. The average number of free throws per game for the team and their star player not only did not decrease, but increased slightly.

In short, in some games of the 06/07 season, with the tacit approval of the NBA director, more fierce confrontation and tougher defense will inevitably have a certain impact on a shooting team like the Warriors.

In addition, the reduction in star whistles will also accelerate the consumption of offensive power by the star players of each team on the field.

Although Qin Yue knew very well that the alliance would make the same adjustments even without him.

But as people began to notice the NBA's penalty standards, which were very different from last season,
There are still many people who believe that the league's move is entirely aimed at Qin Yue, the legendary rookie.

On a certain website, a post titled "It only took me one season to force the league to change the rules for me" sparked heated discussions among domestic fans about the NBA's penalty standards.

This post provides a comprehensive analysis of the seven games that the Warriors have played from multiple angles, and points out that Qin Yue's two-plus-one that was blacklisted by the referee in the new season
As many as 11 times.

"NBA is clearly targeting my brother Qin!"

"That's right, why is it that in the same scene, Yao Ming can frequently go to the free throw line, while my brother Qin can only take the beating?"

"Brother, the key is that Brother Qin's free throws are not as accurate as Yao Ming's! The NBA dunked so many free throws on him at once, isn't this obviously bullying?" (Qin Yue:?)

Qin Yue didn't expect that the adjustments made by the NBA this time simply to improve the overall viewing experience of the game would indirectly help him gain more reputation.

In addition to domestic fans, there are also a large number of fans in the United States who speak up for him.

"How much does the NBA dislike having an Asian player portray the league's flag?"

"Last season, they sent out Steve Nash, the damn thief, to steal the Messiah's regular season MVP trophy. Now they are targeting him like this?"

"From another perspective, doesn't this fully prove that the Messiah is the most dominant player in the NBA today?"

Is Qin Yue the most dominant player in the NBA today?
Regarding this issue, even someone who has always been confident believes that his dominance still needs time to be tested.

However, in the first month of the Warriors' new season, under the new framework created by Mike Malone, Qin Yue made the fans of this era.
I got a taste of what it means to be a ball-holding core in advance.

15场常规赛，场均30.4分12.8篮板9.4助攻3.8封盖1.4抢断。

Leads the league in points per game.

Ranked first in rebounds per game.

His assists per game are second only to Steve Nash.

He ranks first in average blocks per game.

Compared with the future Nikola Jokic, Qin Yue is undoubtedly lucky.

Because in the current era, fans are far from numb to Qin Yue's data that is extremely close to an average of "30+triple-doubles".

Oscar Robertson, who averaged 1961+ triple-doubles in the 1962/30 season, said in an interview: "I've seen him play live, and his style of play is extremely tough. I think he can succeed in any era.

The only drawback is that this kid never cares about the statistics, otherwise his post-match technical statistics would definitely be even better. "

The Golden State Warriors, wearing the No. 30 jersey, received praise from the "Triple-Double King" Oscar Robertson.
Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!

In Qin Yue's previous life, Robertson had publicly criticized the Warriors' star player Stephen Curry more than once.

But in fact, if you think about it a little, you will understand why Robertson praised Qin Yue and criticized Curry.

The former's repeated triple-doubles in the game are bound to make people think of Robertson.

Therefore, if Robertson publicly criticized Qin Yue, wouldn't that be denying himself?
Moreover, the current NBA continues the game style of the 1990s.

In addition to the previous experience of O'Neal, Robertson was destined to only flatter and praise Qin Yue.

As for Curry in Qin Yue’s memory?

If Curry's skin color is not dark enough, how can he be integrated into the black circle that has always been very particular about skin color?

Of course, in Qin Yue's memory, there are many reasons why Robertson doesn't like Curry.

But this does not prevent Robertson from becoming a fan of Qin Yue.

Especially in the NBA, which has always emphasized "inheritance".

Robertson was overjoyed to see a young player averaging close to 30+ triple-doubles on the court after more than years. He even publicly stated, "I would be surprised if this kid doesn't win the regular season MVP this season."

It is worth mentioning that.
Qin Yue, who attracted Robertson's attention through technical statistics, also started a hidden mission on this day.

“The legendary quest [Triple Kings] has now been triggered.

试图把火炬传承到你手上的奥斯卡-罗伯特森无比期待你能在本赛季达成场均‘30+三双’成就，请满足这位前辈对你的殷切期盼。任务完成条件：宿主06/07赛季场均数据不能低于‘30+10+10’（得分+篮板+助攻）。

Mission completion reward: [Triple-Double King] badge.

[Triple-double king]: This badge will grant the host additional vision, observation, prediction, reaction and backcourt rebounding attributes. "

Originally, before receiving this task, Qin Yue, who had no special feelings towards Robertson, the ancient predecessor,
The next day after receiving the assignment, he went out and "ran into" a reporter and said, "You know, Oscar Robertson has always been a role model for us young players. In his second season, he created the myth of averaging 30+ triple-doubles.

I am now in my second season, so if I can finally replicate this myth this season, I think it will undoubtedly be the best tribute to this role model. "

A role model for young players.

If you don't understand, just ask. For Robertson, who has faded out of the league for many years, what could make him happier than to get additional certification as the NBA's new generation flag?
Therefore, in order to facilitate this happy, forty-year-long, and extremely coincidental second season of his career "triple-double inheritance", Robertson reiterated a day later: "I am very happy that there are still young players in the NBA who can remember us predecessors. I will always carry my love for him, pray for him, and wish him to get a triple-double every night."

In December, Qin Yue, who had been taught by Robertson, who could also be called "Sprint Teacher", had already put on the heavy tortoise shell and officially moved into the sewer.

(②Splinter, the teacher of the Ninja Turtles)

Before the Christmas game, Qin Yue, who had already scored 13 triple-doubles in the game, even took less than two months to tie the number of triple-doubles in a single season in his rookie season.

Moreover, Qin Yue's assist-to-turnover ratio this season has reached an astonishing 3.5 to 1.

As we all know, in the NBA, as long as the assist-to-turnover ratio reaches 2.5 to 1, it can be called excellent.

Therefore, this assist-to-turnover ratio also fully proves the value of Qin Yue's assist data.

According to the schedule, the Warriors will face the Supersonics in the Chinese derby on Christmas Day this year.

As of the Christmas game, the Warriors ranked second in the Western Conference with 23 wins and 6 losses, while the Supersonics ranked fourth in the Western Conference with 22 wins and 7 losses.

This is the first regular season matchup between two Western powerhouses with very different styles.

The Warriors are the team with the fastest offensive pace in the NBA this season, averaging nearly 86 possessions per game.

The SuperSonics are a typical positional warfare team, averaging only 75 possessions per game.

Although Sonics head coach Rick Carlisle is not a defensive coach, with Yao Ming and Garnett in positional warfare, it is obviously impossible for Carlisle to actively seek to speed up the game.

The Sonics' offense relies mainly on their high success rate.

Just as Qin Yue remembered, Yao Ming has officially entered the peak of his career this season.

Historically, Yao Ming averaged 06 points per game in the 07/60 season with a true shooting percentage of over 25%.

This is a very exaggerated statistic.

In this life, Yao Ming will be even more terrifying with Garnett standing next to him.

Because he is always labeled with many mocking labels such as fighting and retreating and iron-blooded pull-up jump shots, many people have misunderstood Garnett's strength.

But in fact, apart from his slightly weak offensive ability, Garnett in his peak period was definitely an out-and-out hexagonal warrior.

With his height and long arms, he has lateral mobility that is difficult for ordinary power forward players to achieve. If necessary, he can even switch to the outside to defend the opponent's guard.

Moreover, on the offensive end, Garnett, who has been able to routinely score "20+10+5" for many years, is also a power forward with excellent coordinating capabilities.

His height and vision determine that he can pass the ball to Yao Ming very easily in positional battles.

Even on the defensive end, Garnett, before gaining weight, could use his sweeping ability to form a desperate wall of sighs with Yao Ming.

A typical example is the game in early December when the Supersonics slaughtered the Cavaliers 12-98 on the road.

At that time on the court.
No matter how hard James tried, he couldn't get beyond the line.

Throughout the game, James only made 21 of 4 shots, and finally relied on free throws to barely score in double digits.

As for his teammate O'Neal?
Indeed, in this season's regular season, O'Neal was still able to hand in a "16+8" report card.

But considering O'Neal's severely degraded athletic ability at that moment, do you know how desperate it would be for him to face Yao Ming and Garnett at the same time?
This season, the wonderful chemistry between Yao Ming and Garnett is so good that even the Sonics fans can't believe it.

Ray Allen
This three-point shooter, who was saluted with a throat-slitting salute by Qin Yue in his rookie season, vented all his anger from last season on the court under Carlisle's pistol tactics.

Having unsolvable strengths in the interior is definitely the biggest blessing for outside players.

In the new season, Ray Allen averaged 9 three-point shots per game and made 4 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of an outrageous 45%.

Just as ESPN described, this is a team that is almost perfect in all aspects except the point guard position.

It is also a team that Qin Yue has already labeled as a "lethal threat".

……

Oracle Arena.

It is the most eye-catching game on Christmas Eve.

Since this Christmas battle is both a Chinese derby and a direct dialogue between Western giants
Therefore, as early as the pre-match warm-up stage, players from both teams had already felt the unusualness of this game.

Influenced by Yao Ming, Ray Allen, who didn't want to give face to Qin Yue but had to give face to the Chinese fans, did not glance at the Warriors' half with his gloomy eyes before the game.

However, Qin Yue, who has always treated everyone equally, obviously did not forget what Ray Allen said last year.

During warm-up, whenever Qin Yue looked into Ray Allen's eyes, he would point to the championship flag on the dome.

However.
What Qin Yue didn't know was that his action, which was just to remind Ray Allen that he was already a championship player, had quietly broken the defenses of Yao Ming and Garnett.

Yes, Ray Allen has never touched the floor of the finals.

Can.
Did Yao Ming and Garnett touch each other?

Looking at Qin Yue's smug expression in the next half, the three giants of the Supersonics all made up their minds at the same time.

Normally, if faced with this situation, Garnett would definitely take the initiative to step forward and have a few words with Qin Yue.

But nothing.
Qin Yue's identity as a Chinese player made Garnett always treat him differently.

As early as last season, Garnett proved how much he wanted to play the role of an amiable senior in front of Qin Yue.

What’s more, Garnett’s inside partner this season is still Yao Ming?

However, even so, Garnett could not tolerate Qin Yue's behavior of constantly humiliating him by winning championships.

"Hey, Yao, can you teach me some Chinese curse words?"

The English debate was indeed vulgar.

But if I use elegant Chinese, how would you respond?

In the center circle of the field, just as the starting players of both teams took their positions one after another, Garnett, who had been practicing for nearly thirty minutes, suddenly started yelling at Qin Yue for a long time.

Qin Yue, who was very puzzled, could only turn his attention to Yao Ming.

Seeing this, Yao Ming translated for him: "What he meant is that he will kick you, a stupid groundhog, to death with his handsome pair of basketball shoes later."

Qin Yue: “.”

To be honest, Yao Ming is indeed a player with a great sense of humor.

No wonder Garnett spent thirty minutes but still couldn't understand this sentence.

On the court, after the jump ball, the Warriors have the ball.

Although Garnett did not respond to Qin Yue with his trash talk as he did in the past before the game, he soon
Qin Yue felt firsthand how different Garnett in full-strength mode was from the Garnett he faced last season.
