Barkley doesn’t understand. Why does Qin Yue want to emulate that disgusting style when there are so many predecessors in the league skilled at post moves?
He further doesn’t understand why Qin Yue imitates it even better than Kobe.
"My post moves are pretty slick, right, Brown!" On the court, after scoring again in front of Jas, Qin Yue boasted, "Watch more of Michael’s tapes. It’ll really help you improve your post moves."
Seeing this, understanding Qin Yue wanted to preach again in his distinctive style, Jas showed no response. He simply turned around, caught the ball, and dribbled past halfti.
This was undoubtedly another night where Jas felt that Qin Yue was his perfect replacent.
If there wasn’t Qin Yue, Jas felt he could even compete for the top spot in today’s league...
Yet, every ti in front of Qin Yue, Jas felt like a high schooler who couldn’t play basketball.
Moreover, whenever Jas gave it his all against Qin Yue, he felt Qin Yue’s seemingly boundless dominance.
There’s no doubt, with each added sense of defeat, Jas grew more determined that he must leave Cleveland to find more allies to defeat Qin Yue.
In the second half, Qin Yue spared so effort and focused his main attention on assist collecting, much to Nash’s dissatisfaction.
However, Cleveland’s Chosen One was inevitably overshadowed by Qin Yue in the Cavaliers’ first New Year ga, slipping into a reclusive mode.
Final score, 97 to 121.
Throughout the ga, Jas shot 8 of 18, including 2 of 6 from three-point range, 6 of 10 free throws, totaling 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists.
And Qin Yue?
After clocking out early in three quarters, Qin Yue totaled 48 points, 14 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals.
Postga, when asked by reporters why scoring in front of Jas seed so easy, Qin Yue rebutted, "Brown’s defense is outstanding. He was an NBA All-Defense First Team player last season. Even though I always manage to score high against him, you shouldn’t question his defense just because he can’t guard ."
However, for Qin Yue’s defense of Jas, Mim comnted, "Brown, listen to what he’s saying! What does ’You shouldn’t question his defense just because he can’t guard ’ an? Brown, he’s trying hard to speak for you, but the only purpose is to use your status as an All-Defense player to highlight his dominant offense. In his heart, you’re just a stepping stone!"
"Randy, I know everything you said."
Since considering Qin Yue a surface-level brother, Jas rarely gets upset by him.
Jas knows clearly...
The only reason he’s still maintaining this superficial relationship with Qin Yue is simply that he needs to continue expanding in the China market.
The real reason for Jas’ reclusion this night is mainly that he has no way to deal with Qin Yue.
"Mim, do you think there truly is a concept of lower and upper position in this world?" Jas asked dejectedly, "I feel like even if I try for another hundred years, I’d still be his lower position."
Jas feels he needs to see a psychologist.
Because Qin Yue has already beco his inner demon in every sense.
...
In January, the Warriors’ winning streak was unexpectedly ended by the Bobcats in Charlotte.
It was a rare ga where the entire Warriors team couldn’t find their shooting touch.
Except for Curry.
In Charlotte, the Warriors’ successor of the number 30 jersey, watched by hotown fans, went solo, scoring 31 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
In Qin Yue’s past life, because Dale Curry was always loved by local Charlotte fans during his ti with the Charlotte Hornets, historically, every ti Curry played in Charlotte, it was no different than a ho ga.
Fans here have watched Curry grow since he was in diapers.
If Qin Yue rembers correctly, Curry once explicitly ntioned that if he ever had to leave the Warriors, the team he’d most want to play for would be the Charlotte Hornets, who later inherited the original Hornets’ history and na from the New Orleans Pelicans.
"I grew up in Charlotte, playing here is destined to be a unique experience," Curry said postga in an interview. "Just a sha we couldn’t win tonight."
Additionally, Jordan, who was especially happy with the Bobcats’ upset victory over the Warriors, proactively approached Qin Yue on the court postga for a chat.
However...
When Jordan, who has beco a capitalist, ntioned labor negotiations and uttered the words "You all have earned enough, it’s ti to make concessions"...
Qin Yue laughed, "But back in the day, my idol Michael Jordan himself once said that if a team can’t make money, the owner should find soone better suited for managing it."
At that mont, Jordan was instantly embarrassed by the boorang.
It’s clear that as ti goes on and Jordan wears suits longer, his mindset has inevitably turned into that of a capitalist.
"Michael, you also once, as a player, negotiated with those suit-wearing jerks you considered heartless," Qin Yue continued to throw boorangs at Jordan. "If back then you wouldn’t compromise, then we absolutely won’t compromise now."
Qin Yue fully understands the old GOAT’s position.
But if the old GOAT wants to personally destroy his image in the minds of new-generation players, pushing himself to beco everyone’s sole GOAT, Qin Yue won’t refuse.
Jordan didn’t anticipate Qin Yue’s attitude to be so firm.
He also didn’t expect the gleaming mory from his past to boorang back at him.
Thus, the chat ended unsatisfactorily.
Understanding that capitalist Jordan’s loss was rely his GOAT title from his player days, while Qin Yue’s loss was a "quality" idol, he could only prepare to cut ties with Jordan at any mont after that night.
In February, Qin Yue once again led his team on a visit to Los Angeles. Despite not getting along with Kobe, their shared player status made it imperative for them to discuss the upcoming labor negotiations.
"We can’t make concessions," Kobe said to Qin Yue in a veteran tone, "Any concession will only make them take advantage."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue, feeling delighted, said, "Kobe, have you noticed that lately my post moves have improved rapidly?"
"Hmm?"
"To be honest, although we have many scores to settle, my post moves were learned by watching your tapes."
"..."
