The immediate reason is that if you've watched Kobe and Iverson play, you can clearly feel the gap in coordination and fluidity of ball handling between them and others.

The reason it's hard to bridge is...

This trait is basically impossible to improve significantly through effort alone.

Regardless of past or present, when Biedrins is off-ball, he is a highly mobile big man on the court.

In the future, he will block Duncan consecutively, single-handedly defend Nowitzki, and even expand to the perimeter to guard opposing backcourt players when necessary.

But once Biedrins has the ball on the court...

He immediately gives you a sense of dissonance.

This dissonance is most prominent when he shoots.

In Qin Yue's memory, Biedrins's high mobility was precisely what earned him that 6-year, 64 million US Dollar contract under old Nelson's tactical system.

And then...

There was nothing after that.

Because after securing the big contract, he lay back and coasted, ending his regrettable career at 27.

Future Warriors fans would only hear about this former Warriors fan favorite in Stephen Curry's jersey collection room.

"Chris, are you planning to use Ande as a chip for a trade? Forgive me for being blunt, but even though he still has many flaws now...

He's already become a devoted fan of the Messiah, and at only 19 years old, he's like a lottery ticket that hasn't been scratched yet. I think his trade value would be quite limited."

"Our Messiah has really posed a dilemma for me," Mulin said with a smile upon realizing there weren't suitable trade options on the Warriors' roster at the moment.

"But Chris... should we seriously consider replacing the head coach for the Warriors?"

The next moment, Mulin nodded first, then shook his head, saying, "Mike Montgomery's coaching ability is indeed insufficient to lead this Warriors team, but it's not the right time for a coaching change now.

The new coach would need a complete offseason to instill his tactical philosophy into this team.

Rashly changing coaches, none of us could predict the feedback we might get."

After pausing, Mulin said, "Book me a ticket to Indianapolis."

"Are you going to flaunt again in front of Larry?"

"No... I'm going to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. I heard there's been some discord between a player and the team recently in his squad.

Of course, as old friends... I also want to share some of my recent joy with him," Mulin said, looking at his assistant.

"Trust me, Chris... someday Larry will gun you down in the street."

At this moment, spreading his hands in front of the assistant, Mulin said, "I don't care."

…

To satisfy the growing ambition of the entire Bay Area, Chris Mullin took his goodwill and flew to Indianapolis.

Meanwhile, at Quicken Loans Arena, or rather LeBron James Center, Qin Yue and his teammates started their pre-game warm-up training against the Knights.

Having been completely won over by Qin Yue in daily training...

Biedrins, who had been benched most of the season, voluntarily took on the tasks of retrieving balls for Qin Yue and acting as his sparring partner during warm-ups.

Biedrins's recent excellent performance off the court had successfully aroused Brown's concern.

Especially when noticing the scene of these two tall-legged handsome guys "dancing" on the court...

"Damn pretty boy."

As a high-profile match, this game between the Knights and the Warriors would not only be broadcast nationwide but also tagged as a "Messiah" vs. "Chosen One" showdown by major American media in the pre-game coverage.

This season, the Knights had performed well, currently holding a 6-3 record, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

However, Qin Yue was not surprised about this because under Mike Brown's guidance...

Historically, this Knights team would end the season with a 50-win record to make the Eastern Conference playoffs.

At this moment beside James, all of LeBron's core contributors were in place.

Before the game, led by Montgomery, the Warriors coaching staff had proposed two strategic guidelines for this match.

One was to primarily encircle James, and the other was to primarily encircle James's teammates.

Although in the basketball world, many tactical routines have their derivatives, making each seem complex...

However, strategy is different.

In fact, in Qin Yue's memory, most teams in the future would adopt these two strategies when facing James.

Because James's style of play dictates...

Once his stamina declines, he is destined not to resolve battles as easily as the previous GOAT with a relatively effortless smooth jump shot and unbeatable turnaround.

So generally speaking, to deal with James, it's either "give you the stats, I take the victory" or "I bet your teammates can beat me."

In response, the team decision made by the Warriors was...

"Ande, get ready, you'll have playing time in this game." Before the game, looking at Biedrins who had been training with Qin Yue, Montgomery said to him.

Because of Biedrins's faster mobility, under the Warriors' team decision, he was obviously more suitable for this game against the Knights than Foyle, who was better at posting up in the low post.

And as a high draft pick rookie selected by the Warriors last year...

Although he had previously had his minutes reduced to ensure the Warriors maintained their competitiveness and thus gave a satisfying comeback performance for the fans, ultimately, Montgomery couldn't ignore Biedrins's talent.
