Chapter 1063: Chapter 1062: School Team Coach Li Yiping
When Ye Qiu returned to the Jin University campus, it was already the third period in the morning, but the third and fourth periods had no scheduled classes.
Ye Qiu parked the car sowhere and then went to find Luo Yang and the others, who were playing basketball over by the basketball court.
Ye Qiu didn’t plan to play basketball now because he knew it was too easy for him and not interesting.
When he arrived at the basketball court, Luo Yang, Ning Yun, Zhou Shaohui, and the others were playing a half-court ga with another small team, surrounded by other small teams.
When those teams saw Ye Qiu coming over, they started to feel a bit uneasy.
They were afraid that Ye Qiu might play, like last ti, and they sensed that they definitely couldn’t beat Ye Qiu, which would be quite embarrassing.
However, Ye Qiu had no intention of playing.
Luo Yang and Ning Yun eventually lost to the other small team by three points, covered in sweat, and they walked over to sit next to Ye Qiu to drink water.
“Brother Qiu, are you going up to play later?”
Luo Yang and Ning Yun were well aware that Ye Qiu’s basketball skills probably exceeded CBA level, and if he played, they would definitely win.
“? Nah, it’s not challenging, and no one will dare to play against .”
Ye Qiu said.
His jumping ability, speed, shooting accuracy, etc., were things ordinary people couldn’t compare with.
So, there was no need for him to keep showing off in front of ordinary guys.
“True, Brother Qiu is so amazing that if you played, no one would dare to challenge you!”
Ning Yun said.
As the next pair continued their basketball ga, Ye Qiu just watched.
However, Ye Qiu noticed a middle-aged man wearing basketball attire and carrying a whistle walking towards him.
This middle-aged man was none other than the coach of Jin University’s basketball team, Coach Li Yiping.
Every year, there’s a university basketball league, which is only second to the CBA, where almost every university has its team participating.
Jinling University had previously won the Jiangnan Province University League Championship and also placed in the top five in the Jiangnan Division.
Before, Jin University’s basketball coach selected special long-distance athletes from the Sports Academy, like students who joined Jin University for their basketball achievents.
However, in the last ti when Ye Qiu and Luo Yang played, they caught the attention of Li Yiping.
This young man had an exceptional gift for basketball, and even though he wasn’t very tall, if developed well, he would have a great chance of entering the NBA.
So, in Li Yiping’s view, he was certainly discovering talent and wanted to cultivate it.
And since this year’s university league was in the second half, he thought that getting Ye Qiu to join the team and participate in the university league could still bring good results to Jin University.
Additionally, they could continue to explore this young man’s potential and achievents in basketball.
“Brother Qiu, he seems to be here for you.”
Luo Yang said.
“I don’t know him.”
Ye Qiu said.
“I know, he’s Coach Li Yiping of the Jin University basketball team.”
The coach of the school team?
Ye Qiu took a look and guessed what the other party wanted to co to him for.
But, Ye Qiu wasn’t interested in this at all. Moreover, it was impossible for him to spend so much ti playing basketball.
“Student, are you here to play basketball again?”
Li Yiping ca over and directly looked at Ye Qiu and asked.
He had only seen Ye Qiu play once and hadn’t seen him again afterward.
He didn’t expect to see Ye Qiu today, and he just assud that Ye Qiu was here to play again.
Ye Qiu coolly replied, “No, I’m not really interested in basketball, I’m just here to watch.”
“Not interested?”
Li Yiping was surprised and confused.
This young man had such a natural talent for basketball; he had watched the videos of Ye Qiu playing basketball with other students that day many tis, and the more he watched, the more he felt that Ye Qiu’s level was nearly at an NBA player’s level, though Ye Qiu wasn’t as tall as those NBA players who were around two ters tall.
But Ye Qiu’s jumping ability, reaction speed, and other attributes had already surpassed most CBA players’ levels.
Of course, he had only seen this from a few gas, and he wasn’t sure about Ye Qiu’s true level.
He didn’t expect Ye Qiu to not be interested in playing basketball, which was a pity.
“Indeed, not interested.”
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to practice basketball all day like those players; he’d rather spend the ti making money or picking up girls.
Moreover, those school team players worked so hard just to showcase their skills in the university league, hoping to be scouted by CBA teams and get recruited.
Ye Qiu didn’t need any of that, so he wasn’t interested in the basketball league either.
“That’s a pity.”
Li Yiping said.
He still wanted to bring Ye Qiu onto the school team, but now that Ye Qiu wasn’t interested, there was no way he could persuade him.
He couldn’t possibly force Ye Qiu to join the school team!
“Student, what’s your major?”
Li Yiping asked.
“dicine.”
“dicine? That’s even more of a pity.”
Li Yiping had thought Ye Qiu was only giving up his extraordinary basketball talent for a good career in dicine later.
He felt that if Ye Qiu focused on basketball, he would undoubtedly do better than studying dicine. After all, there were many dical students in Huaxia, and they wouldn’t lack one like Ye Qiu.
But, for basketball players as talented as Ye Qiu, there weren’t many, which made him think it was such a pity.
Li Yiping glanced at Ye Qiu and didn’t say much before preparing to leave, while Luo Yang comnted, “Coach Li, I’m actually really interested in basketball, I wonder if I could join the school team?”
“You? You’d really have to work hard.”
Luo Yang was much taller and more robust than Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, Luo Yang’s basketball talent was far inferior to Ye Qiu’s.
Height alone couldn’t make up for it, so Li Yiping didn’t pay much attention to Luo Yang. After all, Luo Yang’s level was just about okay for casual play, but joining the school team? That was a different matter altogether.
After Li Yiping left, Ning Yun and the others laughed.
They could only say Brother Qiu was too impressive; now even Li Yiping ca to seek out Ye Qiu.
“I wanted to join the school team, but Coach Li didn’t take notice of . Besides, I used to have a heart condition, and I couldn’t do any strenuous exercise until Brother Qiu cured it for . Now my heart has healed, so I can play again, but my basketball talent is still just too poor.”
“Then you might as well study dicine properly. Playing basketball depends on youth, and at your age, even if you start playing now, you might only get to play for a few years before retiring.”
Hearing Ye Qiu’s words, Luo Yang thought it made sense. Anyway, it was just his interest for now, but if he really took it as a career, he might not like it.
