"Besides, what if you only score five points like Michael Jordan did back in the day? Wouldn't that just disappoint your fans terribly?"

"I just can't understand why you don't want to participate in the dunk contest.

Coca-Cola is the sponsor of the dunk contest, haven't they privately expressed to you and LeBron multiple times their wish for you to join hands in participating?"

This day, looking at his close manager Evans, Qin Yue first answered the latter's second question.

"My jumping ability still needs development... And with Houston's atmosphere, does it really deserve to be the backdrop of me becoming the NBA dunk contest champion?"

Then...

Qin Yue answered Evans' first question with action.

In the East Bay mansion...

Ronnie Evans nearly met his death.

"What do you mean if I only score 5 points in the shooting contest, I will break the hearts of fans? With Michael Jordan's nearly crippled shooting ability, can I be like him?"

To Qin Yue, no matter what, he is sure that there will be a shooting contest championship trophy in his future trophy room.

He even desires to get a skill challenge championship trophy too.

Just not now.

On the evening of the 15th, the Warriors hosted the Clippers in a back-to-back at home.

The game was fiercely contested.

Compared to their first meeting, the Clippers, who had a better understanding of the Warriors' characteristics, used various zone defenses and quick switches throughout the game to tackle the Warriors' offense.

Even though in the second quarter, when Murphy and Little Deng Liwei played, the Warriors adopted a strategy similar to the "5-OUT" system to break the Clippers' zone defense.

But in the NBA, since you are a professional player, your opponents are also professional players, and correspondingly, your opponents will also respond accordingly.

Due to the future prominence of the "5-OUT" series tactics in NBA2K games, many basketball enthusiasts mistakenly believe this tactic is also unbeatable in the NBA.

But in reality, the fundamental of breaking zone defense with this tactic is that when an opportunity arises, your outside shooters must first make the shot.

Because only by making the shot, can you effectively widen the court and use the derivative of "5-OUT" tactics to attack the opponent's evacuated inside.

If your shooter cannot threaten the opponent on the court, the opponent can still restrict your pick and rolls and breakthroughs by narrowing the defensive zone.

Unfortunately, that night when the Warriors used this tactic, the Warriors' shooters were all off.

That's the NBA.

There's never any tactic guaranteed to work and be unbeatable, because even the best tactics need players on the court to execute.

Only in games could those famous tactics potentially be unbeatable because the game players can freely control any player on their side.

In fact, even those tactics which Qin Yue considered outdated before crossing over, as long as they meet with suitable players and coaches, and are improved, they can still lead the trend.

Like the triangle offense.

Like the Princeton system.

As for the Warriors tonight, when nobody could make a shot?

Naturally, it can only rely on the individual abilities of superstars.

On the court, facing "Captain" Brand, Qin Yue suddenly made a strong pull-up after a crossover dribble.

Facing Qin Yue's hard shot now, the only thing Brand could do was to give intense interference and pray that he wouldn't make it.

In the NBA, such offensive rounds are important evidence to determine whether a player possesses absolute solution capability.

After all, if a player can't even shoot freely on the court, how can he, like Kobe, take fifty shots a game and get high points?

Oh? You say it's because he is more team-oriented so he makes more reasonable shot selections to ensure accuracy?

Then didn't he ever encounter a moment like Qin Yue's, where only a superstar could solve the battle?

Or is it that he is unwilling? Doesn't want to? Or simply doesn't have the ability?

Swish—!

In Oracle Arena, fortunately, newly crowned all-star power forward Qin Yue was in shooting form tonight.

And after Qin Yue scored 17 points in a single quarter to help the Warriors survive the most difficult second quarter, the Warriors' shooters gradually found their touch in the second half.

In the end, 106 to 114, the Warriors safely won the last game before the all-star weekend without danger, bringing their record to 33 wins and 19 losses.

This record, if placed in the East, would rank the Warriors second.

But at this time in the West, the Warriors have to settle for continuing to be fifth in the West.

Furthermore, despite gradually reducing Qin Yue's playtime since entering 2006 to prepare for the playoffs, as of the All-Star weekend, Qin Yue still leads this year's rookie rankings with his impressive season averages of 25.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 3.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals. (These are season average statistics)

For Qin Yue's performance, The San Francisco Chronicle reporter Anthony Lester commented: "If the Warriors were an East team, we might already be discussing how Messiah should draft his regular-season MVP acceptance speech."

Indeed, given Qin Yue's outstanding report card, had it not been for the customary focus on team ranking during this period's NBA regular-season MVP awards...

His statistics are definitely MVP-level performance.

ESPN also commented on Qin Yue's rookie season performance before the All-Star weekend: "Now, he has already proven through most of the season that he is indeed one of the league's most outstanding players."
