However...
Looking at Brown’s considerably slimr fra compared to his Wizards days, Qin Yue felt that Brown’s free throw inaccuracy and worsening shooting might be related to his excessive muscle gain at the Wizards.
It’s the sa old saying, an inside player who completely can’t shoot wouldn’t have been labeled as the "new Weber" by NBA scouts, no matter how outrageous.
In Qin Yue’s mory, as the weight kept increasing, you couldn’t even see a hint of a top draft pick in the future Brown.
What you saw was only a bulkier, clumsier Kwa Brown, whose movents beca increasingly stiff, to the point of being unable to catch a pass because of excessive nervousness.
This season, with Brown’s weight reduced to around 120 kilograms, his running and jumping abilities have noticeably improved.
So, having figured this out, Qin Yue said to him, "This sumr, lose 3 more kilograms for ."
"!!!"
Qin Yue knew very well, no matter how much weight Brown gained, it would be himself who had to deal with Yao Ming in the low post in the future.
Therefore.....
Qin Yue planned to have Brown further lose weight to regain the outstanding coordination he showcased during the draft.
Qin Yue wanted to try if reducing the weight that Brown couldn’t handle would help him practice his free throws...
And develop a passable mid-range shot.
If Brown could achieve all that, he would undoubtedly beco a more valuable inside blue-collar player.
At Oracle Arena, Qin Yue wasn’t put back on the court until five minutes into the second quarter.
The impact of Little Deng Liwei’s suspension was not apparent during the ga against the Spurs.
But on this night, when Carlisle managed offensive consistency by staggering the "Northwest Three Giants’" playing ti...
Plus, in such a slow-paced positional battle, it was difficult for the Warriors to keep up their high energy...
"In the second half, we need to stagger ssiah and Barang’s playing tis." Mike Malone thought from the Warriors’ bench.
Playing injured inevitably reduced Qin Yue’s court ti.
This forced the Warriors to reconstruct their rotation to maintain an advantage in this positional battle.
Because the Supersonic’s weakness lay in their lineup, aside from the main players and Evans and Hayes, which were basically fringe at best.
On the court, in Qin Yue’s first offensive possession after returning, Richardson hit a three-pointer from his pass for the Warriors.
With Qin Yue’s screen, Davis was able to drive through the Supersonic’s paint and in the next offensive possession, he used a reverse layup to dodge Yao Ming, who ca to help.
Carlisle, on the Supersonic bench, frowned and said, "I can’t believe that this is a team whose star player is playing injured and is missing the best sixth man."
Davis’ good form, in complent with Qin Yue, gave the Warriors a unique offensive power in this era, whether in positional plays or fast breaks.
Even though the Supersonic successfully signed the "Alien" Cassell before the trade deadline...
The 37-year-old Cassell couldn’t defend against the unstoppable Davis who, after returning from injury, played like a man possessed.
Halfti score, 52 to 51.
Relying on Yao Ming’s lead built in the first half of the second quarter, the Supersonic carried this slim lead into the second half.
At this point, both Carlisle and Malone realized...
That this was clearly a ga to see who could outlast whom.
The Supersonic couldn’t stop the Warriors’ offense.
But similarly, the Warriors found it difficult to stop the Supersonic’s positional offense.
With Garnett feeding Yao, it was much easier for Yao to receive the ball compared to his Rockets days.
Qin Yue had firsthand experience of this last year when he was responsible for passing to Yao at the World Championships.
As long as Yao could receive the ball smoothly in the low post, aside from double-teaming him... there’s not much you could do.
Moreover...
In Carlisle’s tactical system, you always had to be on guard against Ray Allen’s unexpected shots.
After the halfti break, the ga continued.
On the court, the Warriors’ offensive possession.
Qin Yue perford a hand-off play with Davis on the right side of the court.
Garnett delayed Cassell’s breakthrough but also gave Qin Yue a chance to pop out after the screen.
Seeing this, Davis decisively passed the ball.
On CCTV, Zhang Weiping vividly comnted, "Whoa, with just a two-man ga, the Warriors easily got a shooting opportunity."
Swish——!
Compared to all the super forwards he faced previously, Qin Yue was unquestionably the one who troubled Garnett the most.
Perhaps in terms of shooting, Nowitzki had the edge over him.
As for post-up skills, Duncan was better.
But what was terrifying about Qin Yue was that you could never predict what weapon he’d pull out from his arsenal in the next offensive possession.
And it was only because Qin Yue was still a "patient" for now, otherwise he might even use guard-like offensive skills to tornt you repeatedly.
Thankfully, during the Supersonic’s offensive turn, before the Warriors’ double team arrived, Yao Ming made a fadeaway shot in the face of a player with the ga ID "TallerThanYao," leaving him red-faced with anger.
Tonight, every ti Yao Ming scored in front of Qin Yue, Garnett couldn’t help beating his chest to cheer Yao.
"Well done!"
On defense, giving Yao a vigorous high-five, Garnett who could finally vent so anger said.
When it was the Warriors’ turn to attack, Qin Yue continued the hand-off play with Davis.
This ti, Garnett didn’t give Qin Yue the chance to pop out, but because he pulled back too early in his delay, Davis simply floored the pedal with full throttle.
