Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 776 277: You ask when the god will descend, the god answers tonight.

In the NBA, how can you achieve convincing stats?First is scoring.

Regarding this, the great Michael Jordan once said:

As long as a player can make two to three shots per quarter and hit two to four free throws, they can easily score thirty points in a game.

Of course, that's the theory.

But in actual games, due to the inherent randomness of basketball, it's rare to find players in the NBA who can meet the metrics Jordan mentioned back then.

For example, as the new era GOAT....

Qin Yue can't achieve that.

Because generally speaking, Qin Yue's scoring structure is mainly based on bursts during specific time periods.

So far, Qin Yue has completed 57 single quarter "20+" in his NBA regular season career.

In this stat, Qin Yue not only leads his contemporaries by a landslide, but even surpasses Curry, the most powerful single-quarter scorer in later generations, in scoring explosiveness.

Moreover, in games, as the main offensive engine of the team, Qin Yue also needs to help open the game through off-ball screens and ball movement, which leads to energy consumption for Qin Yue even in those possessions where he doesn't need to take a shot.

Additionally, unlike Harden, Doncic, and others in later generations who choose to preserve energy for offense and only defend with their eyes,

Qin Yue, being both the offensive core and the defensive core of the Warriors, must also ensure the team's baseline on defense.

Therefore, to allocate his energy reasonably, as time passes and his game experience grows richer, Qin Yue has long developed a specific playstyle of his own.

This playstyle can be intuitively seen in Qin Yue's scoring distribution, which is highly uneven from the data.

So far in his career, Qin Yue's average first-quarter score is as high as 13.4 points, the highest of all his four-quarter averages.

In stark contrast, his third-quarter average score is only 5.8 points.

Set the tone in the first quarter.

Then decide whether to increase shots in the second quarter based on the game situation.

And maintain energy in the third quarter for games that won't end early in three quarters.

Finally, "clear the table" in the last quarter.

Since stepping into his career peak, this playstyle has become Qin Yue's fixed routine for every game.

However, as time entered the first month of the new year...

Many basketball analysts, keen on using various stats to analyze players' on-court performance, have found that Qin Yue has quietly changed his past game thought patterns.

There are many reasons why Qin Yue had to make changes in January.

Among them, the most important is undoubtedly that as the Warriors started selectively giving up some games, Qin Yue, without the need for full commitment on both ends, had more energy to allocate than usual.

In the first game of the New Year, in Orlando, with several key players absent, Qin Yue, who made a total of 38 attempts in the entire game, scored 14, 11, 17, and 16 points in the four quarters respectively.

After the game, when asked by a reporter why he could become the active player with the most "50+" games in the NBA, Qin Yue joked, "As long as you can make four mid-range shots per quarter, ensure one of them is a three-pointer, and hit two free throws, is scoring fifty really as hard as people imagine?"

At that moment, the reporters had every reason to suspect Qin Yue was showing off.

However, the January stat sheet Qin Yue posted that year showed an impressive average of 45.4 points per game for the month, giving him the right to show off, didn't it?

Of course, if it's just a monthly average score of "40+", no matter how rare it is, it's not unheard of in the NBA.

For example, Kobe in the 05/06 season.

Therefore, in the new year of January, the "ancient stats" Qin Yue submitted must be looked at in conjunction with his other four main stats.

Throughout January, under Ma Long's tactical adjustments...

Qin Yue, who spent more time in games with Kwame Brown, averaged a league-leading 21.8 rebounds per month.

Brown used his absolute loyalty to Qin Yue to explain why he could stand firm in this Warriors team.

On the court, when Brown realized what he needed to do to eliminate the head coach's and management's thoughts of trading him....

With an average of 4.1 offensive rebounds and only 1.2 defensive rebounds per game this season, Brown is practically cutting his own meat to fatten Great Qin, or at least feeding him while grazing on the side.

"You know, I'm already a 31-year-old veteran."

Moreover, to prevent Qin Yue from feeling guilty for mercilessly stealing his rebound stats, Brown also said to Qin Yue: "In my past career, I've proven myself with five championships, so since you grabbing defensive rebounds can ensure the team's fast-break quality, I'll certainly protect you on the court."

In the NBA, some players play to challenge themselves, constantly pushing the limits of themselves and their teams.

Some players play for fame and fortune.

But with a brain always clear, Brown is more aware than anyone that, at any time, he can only play for Qin Yue.

Because everything he has gained in this life is closely related to Qin Yue.

Within the Warriors team, watching Draymond Green, who still needs to learn from him how to be a good dog, Brown boldly said: "'Dray', you have to understand that when your teammate is 'Great Qin', you just need to butter him up to easily get whatever you want."
