Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 64: Peak Showdown (A 13000-word chapter an additional update for NuH's grand alliance!) _4


On the court, the Lakers' offensive time simultaneously ran out.

This attack, the Lakers committed a 24-second violation.

On the sidelines, led by Davis, the Warriors' bench went completely insane.

Is this guy even human?

He alone...

held off the continuous attacks of three Lakers players!

At this moment, Kobe, who had visited to scout Qin Yue last year, was also stunned by Qin Yue's performance tonight.

Kobe knew very well...

Back then, Qin Yue, in his eyes, was merely a player with great talent and potential to be a top draft pick.

"Let me on the court, Phil."

A minute later, after a dead ball, Jackson sent Kobe back onto the court again.

As Kobe re-entered the game, Lakers fans, who were initially shocked by Qin Yue's talent, immediately cheered for Kobe with chants of MVP.

This quarter, Kobe's shooting was still hot.

But Qin Yue was equally unstoppable.

On the court, during the Lakers' offensive round, after creating space with light footwork, Kobe made a fadeaway over Richardson.

Then, with the Warriors in possession, Jack successfully found Qin Yue cutting down after a pick-and-roll.

In the Lakers' restricted area, facing the helping defense of Mim, Qin Yue easily laid the ball in.

On the court, after a few more rounds, CCTV commentator Sun Zhengping, seeing Coach Zhang Weiping thoroughly enjoying the game tonight, said: "Wow... Coach Zhang, Qin Yue seems to have a chance to achieve a triple-double by halftime."

Upon hearing this, Coach Zhang Weiping immediately turned his gaze to Qin Yue's stats:

——16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal.

Compared to twenty years in the future, a triple-double during this period was still a rare achievement.

Tonight, Qin Yue was clearly like the future world-famous "Joker" Nikola Jokic.

The Warriors, with him as the core, could always find the Lakers' defensive flaws on the court.

In the second quarter, during the Warriors' offensive round.

After pretending to pass the ball hand-to-hand with a teammate, Qin Yue suddenly gathered the ball, turned, and drove towards the basket.

This time, the Lakers' Odom and Mim's retreat was fast enough, but facing the Lakers' double team in the paint, Qin Yue preemptively tossed the ball towards the hoop.

On the court, Kwame Brown got another chance to showcase his talent.

Boom——!

At the Staples Center, Brown, who was shaking the hoop, had an almost...

He felt like he was Shaquille O'Neal!

Was basketball really such a simple sport?

But before Brown could rejoice too long...

Kobe had already charged towards the Warriors' defense.

Swoosh——!

From beyond the three-point line, dribbling and lightly faking out Richardson, Kobe raised his hands and scored!

"My God, the first half isn't even over... and Kobe has already scored 37 points?" On TNT TV Station, when Charles Barkley, broadcasting another game, learned the score between the Lakers and the Warriors, at that moment...

Barkley really wanted to storm into the backstage and beat the executives at TNT TV Station.

Why...

Why aren't we broadcasting the game between the Lakers and the Warriors?

Why are we broadcasting the Cavaliers against the Nuggets?

Can LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony offer a match as exciting as Qin Yue against Kobe?

Beside him, Smith felt the same way.

Especially when the halftime report of the Warriors and the Lakers was sent back from the Staples Center...

At halftime, 67 to 67.

Kobe scored 41 points for the Lakers in just one half.

Qin Yue had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 blocks, 1 steal.

On one side, it's the "40+" half-time Kobe Bryant.

On the other side, it's the halftime triple-double Warriors Messiah.

"Can someone tell me what's so interesting about the game between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony?" During the halftime break, Barkley's roar echoed throughout the entire building.

"Actually, both LeBron and Carmelo are performing quite well in this game, LeBron has already scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists by halftime, while Carmelo has 17 points and 5 rebounds." Beside him, Smith hastily comforted Barkley.

But upon hearing this, Barkley got anxious.

Because just doing okay doesn't cover for that, does it?

Do you know that next door it's like a battle of the gods!

And we're broadcasting an ordinary regular season game!

Next door, that's a...

A game that could very likely go down in history!

At the Staples Center, during halftime, looking at Qin Yue whom no one dared to disturb in the locker room, Jack noticed that compared to the previous two games...

Qin Yue had bit by bit brought this Warriors team together.

Maybe tonight Kobe was extremely unstoppable.

But in Jack's view...

Or rather in the view of all Warriors players, just by closely following Qin Yue's lead, even this kind of Kobe wasn't as terrifying as everyone imagined.

In the locker room, Pietrus, who had gradually calmed down, was exchanging experiences with Richardson on how to guard Kobe.

Murphy and Little Deng Liwei were discussing how to best utilize Qin Yue's picks on the court.

And there was Brown, holding a basketball, meditating, trying to overcome his butterfingers issues.

Maybe the upcoming regular season is still long.

But the Warriors are already ready to make great moves.

After the halftime break, the game continued.

Right at the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe attempted a three-pointer from the outside.

That shot gave the Warriors fans in front of the TV a scare.

Fortunately, the ball bounced off the rim, and the rebound was grabbed by Qin Yue.

Next, it was the Warriors' turn to attack.

Compared to the first half, the Lakers had clearly adjusted their defensive strategies.

On the advice of assistant coach Brian Shaw, the Lakers increased their defensive aggression, especially against pick-and-rolls. They replaced blitzing Qin Yue at every opportunity with letting Odom defend him one-on-one.
