After the barbaric evolution this sumr, Qin Yue now has nine attributes that et the requirents of the task [That Unextinguished Dream].
At the end of the special training, the only attribute Qin Yue hadn’t t was his post-up skills.
Because this is an attribute that requires continuous evolution through actual combat, in the visual data provided by the [Mountain Peak] system, Qin Yue’s current post-up skills only received a score of 70.
The sa goes for post-up skills.
Among the six attributes required by the task [In the Na of Legacy], Qin Yue’s observation and anticipation also need to be improved through the upcoming actual combat.
In short, compared to last year...
This sumr, while Qin Yue activated his dynamic talent significantly, his various basketball skills also underwent a gorgeous transformation without him realizing it.
On the day the special training ended, when Grover looked at Qin Yue standing in front of him, he comnted as if appreciating a work of art: "If nothing unexpected happens, you will beco another great masterpiece of mine after Michael Jordan."
At that mont, Grover was not exaggerating at all.
After spending this sumr together, Grover was very sure that Qin Yue and Jordan were the sa kind of person.
Previously, why did Grover have his team handle all of Qin Yue’s als?
Because Grover also wanted to test, through a dietary regi tailored for Qin Yue, whether he had the willpower to challenge the physical and ntal limits Grover set for him.
Just like Jordan’s "Breakfast Club" back in the day.
In that era of promoting physical confrontation, in order not to be bullied by the Pistons’ Bad Kids Legion, Jordan not only made the training before and after breakfast a type of "regi," but also through this "regi," Jordan challenged his physical limits day after day.
In Grover’s eyes, although Qin Yue and Jordan are experiencing two different "regis" at this mont, the sa is...
Both Qin Yue and Jordan proved through these "regis" that they are the kind of people willing to go to any lengths to torture themselves for basketball.
...
In September, after the special training, Qin Yue officially began his junior year.
On the first day of school, with his star-like aura, he once again beca the focus of the whole school.
Especially when noticing his perfect physique, many people around couldn’t help but drool with envy.
Among them were even many stunning freshn who had just been admitted to Wake Forest University.
Seeing this, Rachel, who returned from Nike, teased: "Do you believe it, as long as you wave your hand... they would imdiately rush towards you."
Upon hearing that, originally admiring the beautiful girls around him, Qin Yue suddenly lost interest, "Why do you make them sound like zombies?"
Rachel shrugged and said, "Don’t doubt it, to you right now, they’re just a bunch of thirsty zombies."
In the afternoon, the Devil’s Deacon Team sounded the assembly horn.
This sumr, after representing the United States National Youth Team and winning the gold dal in the World Youth Championship, Paul managed to garner a lot of confidence through this championship.
But compared to last year’s assembly, Chris Paul was no longer the only lead at Wake Forest.
With just one training session, Qin Yue made Paul deeply feel just how strong his support was.
"This is simply unbelievable... we haven’t seen each other for just a few months, but you give the feeling... as if you’re already ready to play in the NBA."
At this mont, looking up at Qin Yue, Paul, who originally thought his own progress was significant, suddenly felt what it’s like to be overshadowed by soone else’s talent.
"Next, support well, Chris, I’ll definitely lead you to the championship." Qin Yue said, patting Paul’s shoulder.
Upon hearing this, although Paul wanted to argue a bit for his position as the team’s lead...
But in the face of Qin Yue’s overwhelming strength, on the first day of joint training, Qin Yue had already invisibly established a new order at Wake Forest.
At the sa ti... Prose also found himself incredibly surprised by what Qin Yue had achieved this past sumr, especially considering the unusually troubleso recruitnt process this sumr.
"His progress gives us the capital to dream of the NCAA Championship."
Originally, Prose was still troubled about who to promote from the second team, which player’s potential to tap into, but suddenly felt he had beco the happiest head coach in Arican college basketball.
Indeed, for college basketball, role players are very important.
But at this mont, the star quality Qin Yue displayed...
Even in the long history of the NCAA, it ranks high in Prose’s eyes.
Additionally, as the political commissar of Wake Forest, Justin Gray also introduced the new head of the Devil’s Deacon Team to the freshn and the mbers promoted from the second team without any psychological burden.
"Rember his na, he was the best newcor, best defensive player, best team, and best defensive team mber of last season’s ACC conference.
Moreover, he’s your junior, and undoubtedly the absolute leader of this team.
In the new season, we will reclaim the NCAA Championship trophy, taken by Connecticut, under his leadership!" (Okafor, Gordon: ?)
Beside him, Paul, who is naturally competitive, took a deep breath and then turned his gaze to Qin Yue: "Wake Forest has ushered in your era."
Seeing this, Qin Yue embraced Paul and laughed: "No, Chris, it’s our era."
Even though he had already changed the order of Wake Forest with absolute strength, Qin Yue knew very well...
Just like Michael Jordan needed Scottie Pippen.
In the upcoming season, he also needs Chris Paul.
Therefore, whenever it’s appropriate to flatter Paul, he would never be stingy with his ability to fiddle with words.
...
On the day the Devil’s Deacon Team officially assembled, Lynn rritt, eting his old friend Sonny Vaccaro, promptly handed the 04/05 season schedule of Wake Forest to him.
"Interesting... This year, Wake Forest’s opening ga represents the ACC Conference in a challenge match with the SEC Conference (Southeastern Conference)?" Vaccaro said with a aningful look.
"Their opponent is the Florida Gators," rritt reminded.
"It seems, along with Ira Borko’s article... the Arican college basketball community is also curious whether Qin truly possesses the rumored potential," Vaccaro laughed.
Upon hearing this, rritt nodded and said, "Indeed, in such a star-studded year, they just had to arrange for the Gators as the opening ga opponent for the Demon Deacons.
And, next up, Wake Forest also has a challenge match with the MWC Conference (Mountain West Conference)."
Waving at rritt to stop, Vaccaro said, "It’s not about who the opponents are, what’s crucial is whether the kid really is like you said...
Over the past sumr, has he evolved into a player capable of challenging for the No. 1 draft pick."
Seeing this, rritt said, "Sonny, I can assure you... besides his outstanding talent, the kid also has incredible willpower."
Pausing for a mont, rritt added, "In my eyes, he’s just like LeBron back in the day, the kind that makes you shine with excitent..."
The next second, Vaccaro waved his hand to interrupt rritt.
Because, as a forr executive for Nike and Adidas, as an Arican business legend who once persuaded Jordan to join Nike and convinced Kobe to join Adidas...
LeBron Jas is the perpetual thorn in Sonny Vaccaro’s heart.
In 2003, having already established a good cooperative relationship with Jas well in advance, and having invited him to the Adidas ABCD Camp in 2001, Sonny Vaccaro was betrayed by the Adidas higher-ups in the bidding war over Jas.
A betrayal he considers a lifelong sha.
Since the Adidas higher-ups withdrew the offer they promised Vaccaro at the last mont—a contract Vaccaro believed was enough to win over Jas— it resulted in Vaccaro completely losing faith in Adidas higher-ups and feeling he lost credibility and dignity in front of the then just 18-year-old Jas.
After that bidding war ended, Vaccaro resigned from all his positions at Adidas.
"Adidas is hopeless; don’t they understand that the competition between them and Nike was never about profit but a matter of life and death?"
At this mont, reminded of the thorn in his heart by the conversation with rritt, Vaccaro sighed deeply and said, "Go ahead, Lynn... what do you want to do for the kid?"
...
The Florida Gators.
Actually, when Qin Yue got this year’s schedule for Wake Forest from Assistant Coach Victor, he felt equally surprised.
"So this year’s Wake Forest challenge opponents... are all arranged to test my strength?"
Since NCAA Division I teams belong to different conferences, generally speaking, two teams from different conferences wouldn’t et in regular-season play.
But just like last year when Wake Forest defeated the Indiana Mountaineers through a challenge match, and the Illinois Warriors, which humiliated Paul, boasting Deron Williams, in a challenge match...
To promote exchanges between different conferences, each season the NCAA usually holds challenge matches between different conferences to give teams a chance to face each other.
And among these challenge matches...
The most popular ones are undoubtedly the matches between teams, each possessing top-tier stars, that usually wouldn’t encounter each other.
This year, the NCAA pulled out the big guns right from the start.
Because apart from representing the ACC Conference in a highly prestigious matchup against the SEC Conference...
Their opponent is Florida, who, this sumr, raided Arican high schools for many talented high schoolers.
How can one describe the Florida Gators?
Simply put...
Compared to them, last year’s Connecticut Huskies were considered weak in lineup.
Yes...
This Gators team, which in Qin Yue’s mory would go on to claim consecutive NCAA championship titles in 2006 and 2007, is the kind of super team extrely rare even in NCAA history.
Currently, the star player of the Gators is a senior, 03/04 SEC Conference’s best power forward, and a future NBA All-Star power forward:
— David Lee.
Additionally, if Qin Yue rembers correctly...
This year’s Gators team has no less than eight future NBA players!
Al Horford, Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer... all these household nas are mbers of this Florida Gators team.
However...
Since the majority of the potential players on this Gators team still need ti to develop, this schedule, in Qin Yue’s eyes, is like a gift falling from the sky.
At present, Qin Yue needs a high-caliber opponent to test his training results.
And this challenge match with the Gators...
Not only does it possess the high quality Qin Yue desires, but it can also create a certain illusion for many fans in the future.
That is...
What would future fans care if Horford, Noah, Brewer were still developing?
They would only rember that Qin Yue, in his college career, defeated these opponents with an invincible prowess!
At this mont, Qin Yue had even thought of what opening line he wanted to say during this opening ga.
And just the thought of it made Qin Yue’s smile grow increasingly sly...
