Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 117: Records Become History Excellent Possession and Control! (5000-word chapter earnestly requesting subscriptions and monthly tickets!)_2


Seeing this, DAntoni hesitated no more.

As an offensive fanatic, DAntoni really wanted to see how Qin Yue would perform as a point guard in an NBA game.

However, upon learning about DAntoni's tactical arrangements, Duncan looked worriedly at Qin Yue and said, "FIBA games average only fifty or sixty possessions per game.

Although the intensity of the All-Star Weekend games is far lower than usual, its possession count is far higher than usual. Are you sure your stamina can keep up with the consumption?"

Duncan's concern at the moment was not unfounded.

In fact, Qin Yue had never played point guard for the Warriors, precisely because of this reason.

With the Warriors' play tempo this season moving at eighty or ninety possessions per game, even if Qin Yue's dribbling skills were excellent, he'd only take on the dribbling duties from the backcourt in necessary possessions.

After all, if he could let his teammates share the ball-handling tasks…

Why would Qin Yue waste his precious stamina?

However, precisely because tonight's game is the All-Star game, Qin Yue wanted to try playing point guard.

"Tim, have you forgotten? Since tonight is the All-Star game, my rest time will be more than usual." Qin Yue smiled at Duncan.

Upon hearing this, Duncan suddenly realized.

Generally, even for All-Star starters, their playing time is only around twenty minutes.

After all, for the All-Star Weekend games, the coach has to give all players a chance to showcase their performance.

"But I always feel your intention to play point guard isn't purely about that."

"That's your prejudice against me, Tim."

That night, during the Eastern and Western All-Star team introductions at the Thomas-Mark Center, the cheers Qin Yue received clearly overshadowed other star players.

The fans on site were still immersed in yesterday's dunk contest, which made Qin Yue's desire to perform even stronger.

Qin Yue has always separated public from private affairs, focusing on actions and not intentions.

Just like at the Staples, even if he felt indifferent towards Kolker Kardashian, even if her purpose for coming to cheer was just to grab attention, Qin Yue didn't mind taking photos and signing autographs with her before the game.

At this moment, the whole arena's cheers and applause for him...

Had already made Qin Yue feel like the master of this arena.

Additionally, during the pre-game tip-off ceremony, Qin Yue noticed that the person Durant wanted to drink bath water from also appeared at the scene.

She was wearing a modified Warriors No. 30 jersey that accentuated her figure.

It was clear that Kolker Kardashian had taught these attention-seeking stars exactly how to make the headlines.

Is Scarlett Johansson really a fan of his?

Qin Yue didn't know.

But he could be certain that he, as the young GOAT, had no interest in Scarlett Johansson's bath water.

On the large screen, as both teams stood in position, the starting list for this year's Eastern and Western All-Star teams were displayed.

Eastern All-Star Team: Howard, Bosh, James, Wade, Arenas.

Western All-Star Team: Yao Ming, Garnett, Qin Yue, Kobe, Tracy McGrady.

During the tip-off, Yao Ming secured possession for the Western All-Star Team with his intrinsic advantage.

Watching Yao Ming's back, the slightly disappointed Tracy McGrady handed the ball to Qin Yue as per DAntoni's pre-game arrangement.

On the opening attack, Kobe was actively calling for the ball.

However, Qin Yue, responsible for controlling the ball, elegantly ignored Kobe's request and delivered an alley-oop to Yao Ming.

Even Howard, with increased intensity, still couldn't stop Yao Ming and could only watch as Yao dunked the ball single-handedly.

On CCTV, seeing this scene, Zhang Weiping said with a gratified expression, "In past All-Star Weekends, Yao was just a runner; now with Qin Yue, his performance in the All-Star game is definitely worth the anticipation."

If the first attack at the start made people think Qin Yue was just playing the role of the organizer as usual...

Next, after Wade scored two points for the Eastern All-Star Team...

Seeing Qin Yue escort the basketball from the backcourt to the front himself... fans at the scene, as well as in front of the TV, were momentarily stunned.

"Whoa! DAntoni is really bold. Is he learning from Yonas to use Qin Yue as a point guard?" CCTV, Zhang Weiping exclaimed.

After consecutively guessing DAntoni's intentions, the large screen didn't forget to give a close-up to Magic Johnson who was sitting on the sidelines with his children.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley laughed, "Now 'Magician' is no longer the tallest point guard in NBA history!"

In the subsequent game, Qin Yue, who actually played the role of the Western All-Star Team's point guard in offense, brought an incredibly stunning performance to all basketball enthusiasts.

He first used an inexplicable elbow pass to connect with Garnett and then made a creatively impressive pistol-style pass to assist Tracy McGrady in hitting a three-pointer from the outside.

Moreover, during his dribbling advancement, Qin Yue boldly showcased streetball skills that he hardly had the opportunity to display under normal circumstances.

In the opening 5 minutes, Yao Ming, Garnett, and Tracy McGrady all opened their scoring account thanks to Qin Yue's assists.

Except for Kobe.

After running back and forth for nearly half a quarter, Kobe discontentedly said to Qin Yue during the match pause, "You're damn settling personal grudges!!"

Qin Yue looked puzzled and said, "How am I settling personal grudges? I haven't taken a single shot until now, haven't I been passing the ball?"

Kobe said, "It's damn I always ask you for the ball, but you haven't passed to me even once!"
