Chapter 179 When Paranoia Overcomes Reason (I am not feeling well today, so only one update, sorry!)
The development and formation of any thing has its objective laws.

Why have all the teams in the league liked to use retreat defense to deal with Qin Yue since the advent of the "Qin Yue Law"?

In fact, judging from Qin Yue's three-point shooting output this season, the retreat defense adopted by teams in the league has indirectly contributed to his scoring efficiency.

This is a very simple math problem.

As long as you slightly convert Qin Yue's average number of three-point shots per game and his average number of three-point hits per game, you can easily conclude that Qin Yue, who has improved his shooting structure, is completing these attacks with a hit rate of more than 55%.

But in the long regular season
Because the teams in the league need a cost-effective defensive strategy to deal with Qin Yue's astonishing ability to combine man and ball, and the shooting opportunities he creates for his teammates through this ability.

Therefore, with the support of "Qin Yue's Law", retreat defense has become the optimal solution for all teams in the league when facing Qin Yue.

Moreover, no matter how favorable Qin Yue's outside shooting environment is, there will always be times when he doesn't feel good.

In actual games, the high-intensity confrontation and even physical collisions allowed by the "Qin Yue Law" will also affect Qin Yue's outside shooting feel on the court.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qin Yue to complete his hard-core homework with three-point attempts in every round.

Just like Stephen Curry, who was an accurate three-point shooter in later generations, he also needed to attack the Celtics' basket again and again to maintain his dominance in that round of the finals.

However, since every NBA game has a certain degree of randomness.
On the court, facing Garnett's unmoved retreat defense, Qin Yue's three-point shooting tendency has quietly reached 100.

After several rounds, Qin Yue pressed the trigger button again at the top of the arc.

Swish!
"Retreat, keep retreating!"

Qin Yue made a "3" gesture to Garnett and said, "Why don't you just retreat back to the three-second zone and hide behind Yao Ming forever!"

Faced with Qin Yue’s provocation, the experienced Garnett did not choose to respond.

but
In the following game, the silent Garnett successfully destroyed Qin Yue's shooting touch when he pulled up from the outside through two high-standard body collisions in the off-ball phase.

when!
when!
On the court, Qin Yue, who missed two consecutive three-point attempts, didn't find the feeling of firing from the outside until the last moment of the first quarter.

Warriors' offensive round.

Qin Yue, who hadn't punished Garnett for some time, suddenly felt his blood boiling the moment he received the pass from his teammate.

So, collect the ball and pull up!

when!
At the Oracle Arena, when the crisp sound of iron hitting the target reached his ears, Qin Yue had already prepared to retreat.

But what Qin Yue never expected was that Curry, who came on as a substitute for Nash, suddenly appeared from the sky, grabbed the long frontcourt rebound in the crowd, and passed the basketball back to him in the first time.

Seeing this, Qin Yue, who received the pass from center Ku, took a deep breath and shot again steadily from the outside.

Swish!
Even though he had missed the previous three three-point attempts, at this moment, Qin Yue fully demonstrated his excellent psychological qualities as a top scorer.

Qin Yue's resolute attitude inevitably made Garnett waver in whether to continue to adopt a retreating defense in this game.

"Although his first two three-point shots tonight were somewhat lucky, based on my understanding of him."

During the intermission, watching Qin Yue, who shot 7 of 4 in the first quarter, all from the outside, Garnett said to the team's head coach Carlisle: "As long as he is determined to do something, he will stick to it."

Garnett’s judgment of Qin Yue was correct.

In the second quarter, when Qin Yue returned to the court, he immediately made a three-point shot from the top of the arc.

Although the basketball bounced around the rim and finally fell into Yao Ming's hands, Qin Yue's determination to punish this kind of retreat defense tonight still made the experienced Carlisle feel Qin Yue's innate paranoia.

From a basketball perspective, Carlisle doesn't like this kind of paranoia.

In Carlisle's view, the overly paranoid Qin Yue had kidnapped the entire Warriors team onto his chariot in this game - he fired from the outside at will and always dominated the team's ball possession, just to prove that he was not afraid of this kind of retreat defense.

However, what Carlisle could not understand was
In the subsequent games, Warriors head coach Malone not only deliberately condoned Qin Yue's madness, but the entire Warriors team also united around Qin Yue without hesitation.

In the first quarter, the frontcourt rebound that center Ku grabbed for Qin Yue was not an isolated case.

At the Oracle Arena, as Qin Yue's three-point attempt missed again, Brown, who had controlled the landing point of the long rebound in the frontcourt before Posey, immediately looked up and found Qin Yue.

After getting the ball, Qin Yue calmly and calmly adjusted the strength of his shot, whoosh!

"Just shoot with confidence!" Brown said to Qin Yue, "No matter how many times you miss, I will bring the ball back for you like a German Shepherd catching a Frisbee!"

In the NBA, Carlisle has never seen a team as crazy as the Warriors.

It is true that Qin Yue can shoot whenever he wants on the court, but if he doesn't get support from his teammates, how can he shoot as he pleases in the game?

So, Carlisle was surprised to find that the Warriors were not tied to Qin Yue's chariot.
Instead, the entire team willingly boarded his chariot and embarked on a journey without asking for the destination.

In Carlisle's opinion, even if Qin Yue is ready to lead the Warriors into the abyss, the team will probably not hesitate at all.

And as Qin Yue found his touch again in the game, the retreat defense was no longer applicable to this night.

Swish!
At the right side of the arc top, Qin Yue suddenly felt that the basket was as broad as the sea. After receiving the ball, he made his sixth three-pointer of the game without hesitation.

After another two rounds, Qin Yue went around to the right side of the court to receive the ball without making any adjustments. While the feeling was still there, he made another three-pointer while drifting after receiving the ball. Whoosh!

Now, Garnett, who originally planned to use retreat defense to conserve his energy, had to actively expand his defense zone.

But in the final moments of the second quarter, Qin Yue personally detonated the Oracle Arena.

Nash, who was in charge of dribbling the ball across half court, noticed that Garnett followed Qin Yue all the way and even jumped into the LOGO area.
Nash originally wanted to use Qin Yue's attraction and involvement of the Supersonics' defense to seize the time to complete the final finish for the team.

But Nash noticed Qin Yue's eyes that were extremely eager to receive the ball, and after hesitating for a moment, he chose to pass the ball to Qin Yue.

At this moment, Nash had no idea how Qin Yue could launch and complete the attack from near the LOGO area when there were only about 3 seconds left in the attack.

He never thought that after Bibby gave up defending him and rushed towards Qin Yue together with Garnett, Qin Yue no longer had any offensive space.

"I knew he wanted me to pass the ball," Nash said later, "so I passed it."

So, Qin Yue, who received the ball and turned around, completed a sniper shot directly from the LOGO area against two defenders, answered Nash with his actions. In the Bay Area, in the Oracle Arena, he showed what it means that the unreasonable is common sense!
Swish!
In the commentary booth, when Qin Yue's LOGO.SHOT landed accurately, Rick Barry exclaimed: "LOGO.SHOT!!! Messiah shot the Sonics from the LOGO area before the end of the first half!"

This was a LOGO.SHOT that was extremely lucky.

But Qin Yue, who dared to shoot and was able to shoot on the court, was undoubtedly the key to scoring this great goal.

After scoring the goal, Qin Yue did not choose to stay on the field, but trotted all the way back to the locker room.

Brown was interviewed on behalf of Qin Yue, who had pretended to be tough and then ran away.

"When he shot the ball, I felt it would go in," Brown said. "This is undoubtedly another great moment God has given us. This is why we all love the Messiah. He always does amazing things on the court!"

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Carlisle had to admit that in this Christmas battle, Qin Yue once again used his paranoia to defeat rationality.

The eight three-pointers he made in the first half disrupted the Sonics' defense.

Especially the LOGO.SHOT he hit before the end of the first half, which completely changed the momentum of the game.

"As long as he raised his hand, I felt he would score," Garnett said afterwards. "This always made me nervous when defending him."

After the halftime break, Yao Ming had just scored two points for the Supersonics when Qin Yue came back and took advantage of Garnett's pounce to create a three-point foul.

At the free throw line, Qin Yue made three of three free throws. And as his touch became hotter and hotter, even though the Sonics had adjusted their defense in the second half, Qin Yue had no intention of stopping this shooting show.

Near the baseline, Qin Yue, who was pretending to use Brown's cover to run to the other side, suddenly ran back and reached the bottom corner.

Without any hesitation, Nash passed the ball to Qin Yue.

After getting the ball, facing Garnett's defense, Qin Yue hit his ninth three-pointer of the game in his favorite right corner.

Although three rounds later, Garnett forced Qin Yue's 45-degree shot from the right side of the court to bounce out of the frame through strong interference, in the next round, Qin Yue still completed a pull-up shot at the top of the arc without any reason despite Garnett's interference, whoosh!
"He's already made ten three-pointers! He turned this Christmas game into his shooting show!"

Next, Qin Yue failed to hit two three-point shots on the court.

However.
The Sonics' defense had just caught their breath when Qin Yue used off-ball movement to get to the right corner of the court and completed his 19th three-pointer of the game.

Swish!
Before the third quarter was over, Qin Yue had already taken nearly twenty three-point shots.

If this isn't crazy, then what is?

Carlisle could no longer find accurate words to describe Qin Yue that night.

Because in Carlisle's opinion, even Kobe in the 05/06 season was not as crazy as Qin Yue.

On the court, at the end of the third quarter.
The scene of "Miller slipping away from Jordan" was reproduced by Qin Yue and Garnett.

In the stands, when Qin Yue was running all over the court with the old wolf king, all the Warriors fans held their breath and waited patiently for the moment when Qin Yue would get rid of Garnett by running without the ball.

On the wing, the exhausted Garnett missed the ball and in the next second he witnessed Qin Yue catching the ball and making a jump shot on the left side of the arc top.

Swish!
Qin Yue made his 12th three-pointer in the game as he wished.

At the same time, Oracle Arena also released the NBA single-game three-point shooting record to date.

Rick Barry announced to the fans in an excited tone: "The Messiah has now caught up with the NBA single-game record of 12 three-pointers jointly held by Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall!"

That night, Qin Yue, who was determined to punish Garnett's retreating defense, deeply shocked everyone with his paranoia and determination.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, the fans at the scene shouted Qin Yue's name in unison.

Seeing this, Warriors head coach Mike Malone did not spoil the fun and chose to keep Qin Yue on the court.

It was not until five minutes before the end of the fourth quarter that the Supersonics, who were 19 points behind the Warriors, chose to give up, and Qin Yue was replaced by McRoberts amid the cheers of the home audience.

Qin Yue's shooting touch declined in the final quarter, and he made only one of four shots from beyond the three-point line.

Still, it was enough to ensure he rewrote history.

全场比赛，27投15中，其中三分球24投13中，罚球7罚7中的秦岳总计为勇士队砍下了50分11篮板4助攻3封盖1抢断。

13 three-pointers in a single game!
The favorable shooting environment, the increasingly accurate shooting touch in the game, and even the good luck that favored him throughout the game, were indeed the main reasons why Qin Yue was able to make history in this game.

But when the NBA single-game three-point record was broken by himself, Qin Yue, who wanted to be a legendary shooter, just wanted to say:
"Who else!?"

The final score was 110 to 128.

Qin Yue, who was in a very good mood and finally vented his anger in front of the opponent's retreating defense, said in an interview: "I never doubted that I am the best shooting big man in NBA history. Tonight, I just played at my normal level."

Did Qin Yue really just play to his normal level?

The answer is obviously no.

It's just that at a time like this, if Qin Yue didn't choose to show off, what difference would it make if he played a game with Bai?
"You have set a new NBA single-game three-point shooting record. Next, will you choose to participate in the three-point contest?"

On this extremely pleasant night, looking at this reporter who suddenly stood up to find trouble, Qin Yue suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on him.

But out of politeness, Qin Yue still answered the question: "I don't think it's time for me to participate in the three-point contest yet, and I always think that my three-point shooting method is more suitable for actual combat than performance."

Just like there is a difference between actual dunking and performance dunking.

Three-point shooting also has the distinction between actual combat and performance.

In order to obtain the absolute shooting right, Qin Yue also adopted the method of vertical jump and vertical pull-up in the process of jump shot for three-pointer.

Therefore, the time it takes for him to complete the entire shooting action is much longer than those shooting speed streams.

of course
Compared with the above reasons
Qin Yue couldn't tell anyone the main reason why he didn't want to participate in this season's three-point contest.

And this reason will be forever sealed in his heart.

"I think we all got to enjoy a great shooting performance."

After the game, Stephen Curry, who has signed up for the Dallas All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest, said in an interview: "I hope that from now on, my shooting state will always be as brave as the Messiah this night."

Qin Yue always thought that his face was thicker than the city wall.

But when he heard Curry say that he hoped his shooting could be as good as his, Qin Yue quickly turned his head to the other side.

"I told you guys a long time ago that he can make those three-pointers anytime he wants." Brown praised Qin Yue at the press conference. "I think after this game, our next opponents should learn how to respect the Messiah."

At the press conference, Brown, who could not stop praising Qin Yue every time, continued: "In my opinion, every shot of Messiah is a great work of art, and every frame is worth our repeated recollection. Moreover, can the so-called "Qin Yue Rule" really limit him? I think he has told you with recent games that he is the greatest player in NBA history and a well-deserved GOAT!"

Loyal warriors deserve to be rewarded.

On the night of the game, Brown fought until dawn under the leadership of Qin Yue.

Two Slavic girls with pretty faces and outstanding figures were easily won over by this "literary champion".

"You have to choose the right owner to be a dog," Brown said afterwards, "otherwise, you will just be a hungry dog with no food to eat."

……

Qin Yue's 13 three-pointers for the Warriors in the Christmas game are still fermenting.

However, contrary to Brown's expectations, the Warriors' opponents not only did not learn to respect Qin Yue in the following games, but they became more determined when adopting a retreat defense.

Because in the Warriors' last three games in 2009, Qin Yue completed a total of 24 three-point shots and only made 7 of them.

This made Qin Yue very frustrated.

Even though Grover told him that the lack of stability in his three-point shooting was mainly due to the fact that he often fought with his opponents on the court, which affected his touch.

But for Qin Yue, who holds the record for three-pointers made in a single NBA game, he knows better than anyone that in the visualized data of the Mountain Top system, his three-point attribute potential seems to be frozen and has not changed for several years.

Although, in the game, Qin Yue can still use his unrivaled hard-solving ability to score high points one after another.
But people in the current era obviously cannot understand Qin Yue's urgent mood.

Because if Qin Yue's three-pointer could be more accurate.
Faced with the retreating defense that these opponents always adopted on the court, Qin Yue was even confident that he could easily break his own single-season scoring average record since the NBA had complete technical statistics.

"I hope that next time when I open the random technical attribute gift package, I can get the potential of three-point shooting as I wish." On the first day of the new year, Qin Yue, who was looking forward to becoming a legendary shooter, prayed silently in his heart.
