Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 459 - 152: The Most Severe Test in Life (Sorry, only one update today)_3

Chapter 459: Chapter 152: The Most Severe Test in Life (Sorry, only one update today)_3
The advantage of optimizing the shot structure lies precisely in this.
As long as Qin Yue’s three-pointers can have a deterrent effect, the Jazz’s inside line, lacking height and rim protection ability, will inevitably be directly exposed to Qin Yue, the human tank.
Although this style of striking first from the perimeter and then attacking the inside line is easily reminiscent of LeBron James.
But unlike James...
The attacks Qin Yue completes through time difference and rhythm are not only more sustainable.
Moreover, Qin Yue, who can finish with various techniques like a sudden stop jump shot on the move, spin cut, and floater, is also more diverse in his scoring methods.
Of course, James has also showcased these techniques in many games.
But just like you can’t consider eating dumplings occasionally as eating dumplings every meal.
Qin Yue’s unparalleled Human-Ball Integration ability determines that his finishing ability is a unique presence in this era.
Final score, 114 to 95.
Scoring 58 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals for the Warriors, Qin Yue not only created a new personal scoring high against Paul...
And compared to other numbers...
Qin Yue believes that the 58 points he scored for the Warriors in this game can be remembered for a lifetime.
"Where’s my good buddy Chris Paul?"
After the game, standing proudly at the Energy Solutions Arena, Qin Yue looked around and asked.
Seeing this, Kirilenko, who always had a dismissive attitude towards learning and practicing English, kindly pointed towards the Jazz players’ tunnel upon hearing Qin Yue shout Paul’s name.
"Haha, I thought you could be more rebellious!"
On the court, watching a "certain 183cm man" sprinting back to the Jazz locker room, Qin Yue thought disdainfully to himself.
...
Two days later, in hopes of regaining some ground against Qin Yue, Chris Paul had a big letdown again.
Utterly falling apart, Paul shot 3 for 11 from the field, 0 for 3 from three-point range, and 2 for 4 from the free-throw line, scoring only 8 points, grabbing 5 rebounds, providing 8 assists, and committing 5 turnovers.
As a top guard with a career average of only 2.3 turnovers per game...
Four of Paul’s five turnovers in this game were related to Qin Yue.
By perfectly predicting Paul’s passing lines four times during the game, Qin Yue helped his good buddy Paul produce a perfectly poor statistical sheet.
And this time, after the game, grabbing Paul, Qin Yue gave the "183cm man" no chance to rush back to the locker room.
"Every time you lose, you just run. Chris, can you have a little bit of backbone?"
After the game, faced with Qin Yue’s existential questioning, Paul retorted angrily, "If it weren’t for the referees consistently allowing Jarrett to use moves that aren’t permitted, how could you possibly defend me?"
Qin Yue never expected...
In this playoff series, a disciple of John Stockton like Paul would dare to falsely accuse first...
Thus he promptly held court, "Who almost made Jarrett play pantsless in the first quarter?"
"I just wanted to commit a tactical foul, but accidentally used too much force..." the defendant Paul defended himself, "In any case, I didn’t intentionally tug at Jarrett’s shorts."
Unfazed, Qin Yue continued to present Paul’s evidence, "Jarrett says that so far, the number of times you’ve accidentally hit him in the groin is no less than ten."
"I must apologize to Jarrett for my clumsy attempts to steal," Paul admitted with red cheeks, "But I’m absolutely not a player who intentionally harms others. Trust me, I merely accidentally touched Jarrett’s body while reaching for the ball."
After a pause, Paul swiftly counterproductive, "Moreover, what right does Jarrett have to speak against me?"
"In this series, which match did he not deal a heavy blow to me?"
"In just this game, the number of times he kneed my groin wasn’t less than three times!"
"Do you know how painful it is to be kneed by an opponent in that area?"
Hearing this, knowing that Jack only appears to be honest, Qin Yue had to temporarily halt his judgment against Paul.
After all...
Considering Jack indeed employed various means to retaliate against Paul during the game...
This truly made it challenging for Judge Qin to rule on who the real villain was.
A day later, relying on the explosive performances of his elder brothers on the court, Paul successfully regained some face with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 12 assists for the Jazz at Oracle Arena.
The third and fourth games, both won by the Warriors thanks to Qin Yue’s high-scoring performances, saw the team hastily fall into the old habit of underestimating their opponents, with a 3-1 lead and a match point in hand.
But this time, clueless about what qualifies these championship teammates to be so complacent, Qin Yue furiously stated after the game, "The Jazz’s defensive intentions are already obvious. Because you guys can’t hit your shots, they can recklessly double team me at every position on the court."
"I don’t want to call you all useless, but the Jazz have already told you with their defense that, in their eyes, you are useless."
The effect of Qin Yue’s anger was immediate.
In Game 6, at the Energy Solutions Arena, the Warriors, who delivered a long-awaited efficient offense, had as many as six players scoring in double digits, winning the series at the away game by a score of 125 to 104.
Compared to last year, Qin Yue is well aware that the dominance of the Warriors has significantly declined.
But ready to lead the team in the upcoming Western Conference Semifinals against the Supersonic, Qin Yue firmly declared after the game, "I never fear any opponent; I only fear that the opponent won’t be strong enough."
Unlike the Warriors, who needed six games to eliminate the Jazz.
Although Al Jefferson from Spurs has always been a challenge for Yao Ming, relying on their tremendous overall strength, the Supersonic easily swept the Spurs 4-0.
And this Chinese Derby, soon to erupt in the Western Conference Semifinals,....
Likely marks a series where the Warriors are comprehensively disadvantaged since Qin Yue joined the league.
As this year’s league leader, the Supersonic holds the home court advantage in this Western Conference Semifinal series.
Moreover, due to the currently incomplete roster, the Warriors can’t accelerate as they used to, so they are bound to break through in the next Western Conference Semifinals using the Supersonic’s preferred style of positional play.
Additionally, the Supersonic, having easily advanced, have more ample time to welcome the Warriors’ visit.
There’s no doubt...
Now, Qin Yue is facing the most severe challenge he has ever encountered.

PS: Sorry, had to go to the hospital for two pain relief injections before I felt better today, so I could only update one Chapter. (I’ll do my best to make up for the Chapters owed these two days when my condition improves.)
