"Exactly, exactly, why is it that with the same scenario, Yao can frequently get to the free-throw line, but my brother Qin can only take the hits?"

"Bro, the key is that Brother Qin's free throws aren't as accurate as Yao's! The NBA knocks off so many free throws from him, isn't that clearly bullying?" (Qin Yue: ?)

Qin Yue didn't expect that the NBA's adjustments, purely made to enhance the overall attractiveness of the game, would indirectly help him gain more reputation.

Apart from domestically, there were also many fans in the United States who felt for him.

"How much does the NBA dislike an Asian player becoming the face of the league?"

"Last season, they sent that damned thief Steve Nash to steal Messiah's regular season MVP trophy, and now they're doing such blatant targeting again?"

"From another perspective, doesn't this fully show that Messiah is indeed the most dominant player in today's NBA?"

Is Qin Yue the most dominant player in today's NBA?

Even someone who's always confident thinks his dominance still requires time to be tested.

However, in the first month of Warriors' new season games, under the new framework built by Mike Malone, Qin Yue had the fans of this era...

Experience what it means to be a major core ball handler.

In 15 regular season games, he averaged 30.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 3.8 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game.

Leading the league in average points per game.

Ranked first in average rebounds.

Second only to Steve Nash in average assists.

Topping the list in average blocks.

Compared to the future Nikola Jokic, Qin Yue is undoubtedly lucky.

Because in the current era, fans are far from being desensitized to Qin Yue's nearly average "30+ triple-double" statistics.

Oscar Robertson, who achieved an average "30+ triple-double" in the 1961/1962 season, said in an interview: "I've watched him play live, and his style of play is extremely tough. I believe he can succeed in any era.

The only shortcoming is that this kid never keeps track of his stats, otherwise, his post-game statistics would definitely look even more impressive."

Golden State Warriors, wearing the number 30 jersey, receiving praise from the "Triple-Double King" Oscar Robertson...

Is that reasonable? It's very unreasonable!

In Qin Yue's past life, Robertson had publicly criticized the Warriors' star player Stephen Curry more than once.

But actually, if you think about it a little, it's easy to understand why Robertson would praise Qin Yue but criticize Curry.

Because the former often achieves triple-doubles in games, it inevitably reminds people of Robertson.

Therefore, if Robertson publicly criticized Qin Yue, wouldn't that be denying himself?

Moreover, the current NBA is an extension of the 90s style of play.

And with the precedent set by O'Neal, Robertson is destined to only have compliments and praise for Qin Yue.

As for Curry in Qin Yue's memory?

With Curry's skin not being dark enough...how else could he integrate into the always-conscious-of-skin-tone black community without some criticism?

Of course, there are many other reasons Robertson may not like Curry in Qin Yue's memory.

But that doesn't prevent Robertson from being a fan of Qin Yue.

Especially in the NBA, which has always valued "legacy".

For Robertson, who had been away from the league for over forty years, to witness a young player achieve nearly average "30+ triple-double" stats on the court, he was thrilled and even publicly stated, "If this kid doesn't win the regular season MVP this season, I will be very surprised."

It's worth mentioning...

Qin Yue, who attracted Robertson's attention through statistical achievements, also unlocked a hidden mission on this day.

"Legendary Mission [Triple-Double King] has been triggered.

Oscar Robertson, who tries to pass the torch to you, eagerly expects you to achieve the average '30+ triple-double' achievement this season, please fulfill this senior's earnest expectations of you.

Mission completion condition: Host's 06/07 season average data must not be lower than '30+10+10' (points + rebounds + assists).

Mission completion reward: [Triple-Double King] Badge.

[Triple-Double King]: This badge will provide the host with additional enhancements to vision, observation, anticipation, reaction, and defensive rebounding attributes."

Originally, before receiving this mission, Qin Yue didn't have any particular fondness for the ancient predecessor Robertson...

The day after receiving the mission, he went out to "coincidentally" meet a journalist, and said: "You know, Oscar Robertson has always been a role model for us young players. He created the myth of the average '30+ triple-double' in his second career season.

And now, I'm also in my second career season, so if I can recreate this myth this season, I think this will undoubtedly be my best tribute to this role model."

Role model for young players.

If you don't know, just ask, for Robertson, who had faded out of the league for many years by then, what could make him happier than receiving additional recognition from the new generation banner of the NBA?

Thus, to facilitate this mutual joy and remarkably coincidental 'second season triple-double legacy' spanning over forty years, Robertson made another statement a day later: "I'm very happy that there are still young players in the NBA who remember us predecessors. I will always carry my affection for him, pray for him, and wish him a triple-double every night."

In December, Qin Yue, having received guidance from Robertson, who could also be called "Teacher Sprint", had already donned that heavy shell and officially moved into the sewer.
