Chapter 11 Is He That Good? (New book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

Marty Blake, a famous scout known as the "Godfather of the NBA Draft", once commented on American college basketball: "For college basketball, we can never look at tomorrow with the eyes of yesterday.

Because here, the growth rate of young players is often calculated by the day. "

The genius of the past may fall at any time in the next second.

And those who were previously unknown also have the opportunity to become famous overnight.

This is American college basketball.

Even the most experienced NBA scouts cannot guarantee that they can accurately predict the growth trajectory of every young player.

In September, on the first day of school at Wake Forest University, Qin Yue, the prodigal son, unsurprisingly became the focus of the entire school.

Before school started, Qin Yue had successfully reduced his weight to 148 kilograms, and successfully obtained the fifth and sixth stage rewards given by the [Mountain Top] system.

Compared with the "Qin Yue" at the end of the freshman semester.
Although there is still a long way to go before the victory of the revolution, after losing 32 kilograms in the summer, Qin Yue is not only in good spirits, but his body shape is also much more normal than before.

His face is thinner, his waist is slimmer, and his entire body is firmer. Coupled with the exaggerated description of his performance in the River Valley Bowl streetball game in the school newspaper, the former shame of Wake Forest has suddenly become an inspirational role model today.

On the first day of school, many students who suffered from obesity regarded Qin Yue as their idol and wanted to ask him for the secret to losing weight.

Some female classmates who were curious about Qin Yue's experience of turning over a new leaf expressed to him through various hints their beautiful wish to discuss the philosophy of life with him on a quiet night.

Qin Yue was not the kind of fool who had never experienced anything, so after receiving the other party's hint, he deliberately left the contact information of several female classmates who were more in line with his aesthetic standards.

“Sure enough, life lies in movement.”

Unlike the previous "Qin Yue" who was not good at speaking and liked to avoid things, on the first day of school, many of Qin Yue's classmates felt that he had a brand new look from head to toe.

In his previous life, when he was playing on baseball fields, Qin Yue particularly liked dealing with people of different ages and personalities.

In addition to his eloquence, he is also a great listener, so he never lacks friends wherever he goes.

……

After the opening ceremony, the Demon Deacons officially assembled in the afternoon.

Before the training started, the team held an induction ceremony for Chris Paul according to tradition.

At the induction ceremony, looking at Paul who finally put on the Wake Forest University jersey, Prosser turned to his assistant coach and complained: "Thank God, we snatched a talented point guard from North Carolina."

On the side, after hearing Mr. Prosser's complaints, Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh at the fate.

Because if Qin Yue remembered correctly
As a die-hard fan of North Carolina and a kid who grew up watching Jordan play, when Paul was choosing a school in his senior year of high school, the university he wanted to go to most was North Carolina.

Unfortunately, North Carolina has successfully recruited another talented point guard, Raymond Felton, at the same position.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Wake Forest, the backup team, became Paul's final choice.

but
Although it was a great pity that he failed to play for North Carolina, judging from Paul's future career experience, his relationship with Wake Forest University actually helped him achieve nirvana quietly.

Because the team's former star player Josh Howard graduated and left the team in the summer, the Demon Deacons are currently leaderless.

Just as Qin Yue remembered, on the first day of training, Prosser positioned Paul as the absolute core of the team in the new season.

As we all know, the point guard position on the basketball court requires a lot of game experience and ball possession in order to thrive.

Therefore, if Paul really chooses to go to North Carolina, even if he can eventually defeat Felton and become North Carolina's main point guard, it will be difficult for him to gain absolute voice on the court like he does now.

On the training ground, in order to help Paul establish his prestige, Prosser specially arranged an offensive and defensive drill with each half lasting 5 minutes.

In the first and second halves, Paul will wear white and black training suits for the white team and the black team respectively. In addition, before the offensive and defensive drills began, Prosser also reminded everyone that if someone on the court did not implement the tactics arranged by Paul, his assistant coach would immediately replace him.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

In this 10-minute offensive and defensive drill, Mr. Prosser even handed over his tactical board to Paul with peace of mind.

Although Qin Yue had felt Paul's tactical reserve far beyond his peers when he trained with him in the summer.
But at this moment, looking at Paul, who was giving tactics to his teammates as a freshman, Qin Yue still felt a sense of frustrating comparison.

"Qin, come here."

In the arena, Prosser looked at Qin Yue with a kind face, and after beckoning him to come to his side, he smiled and said, "You don't have to participate in the next attack and defense drill."

Hearing this, Qin Yue was stunned at first, then stunned. Just as he was about to speak with a question mark on his face, he was interrupted by Mr. Prosser, "Your top priority is to fully digest the knowledge I taught you in the summer.

So from now on, until our friendly game against North Carolina, you will train alone.”

The Demon Deacons' first official game of the 03/04 season will not be played until mid-November. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team can start the new season in the best condition, Prosser arranged several warm-up matches for the team early in the morning.

The warm-up match with North Carolina was the team's last warm-up match before the start of the new season, and the game date was November 11th.

“Don’t worry, once you have digested the skills I taught you, I will not only arrange for you to participate in joint training immediately, but I will also design a set of tactics for you that will allow you to bring out your strengths.

Don't be discouraged, young man, you have more important things to do now.

You have to hurry up and continue to lose weight before the warm-up game with North Carolina.

In addition, your current physical reserve needs to be strengthened. " Patting Qin Yue's extremely strong back, Prosser said earnestly.

Seeing this, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.

Wow, it turns out that the script I got was really Sakuragi Hanamichi’s?
At this moment, after receiving the comfort from the team coach, although Qin Yue wanted to join the team training immediately, he also knew that
The advice Prosser gave him really helped him avoid a lot of detours.

Different from the previous Valley Cup three-on-three streetball tournament.

A full-court five-on-five basketball game can be said to be a completely different concept.

Even though Qin Yue has lost more than 30 kilograms of fat, if he were to participate in a full-court five-on-five official match, let alone how well he would perform in the match.
I'm afraid he will be exhausted on the court in just a few minutes.

In Qin Yue's opinion, the reason why Prosser arranged for him to train alone first was because everything must be done step by step.

Therefore, after figuring out the key, Qin Yue was convinced that he already had a considerable status in the mind of old man Prosser.

After all, not everyone in the Demon Deacons had the opportunity to receive individual instruction from Prosser.

In the stadium, just when the white team and the black team were about to start a full-court offense and defense drill, Prosser came to the half where Qin Yue was about to start individual training with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, almost all the players of the Demon Deacon team realized how much Prosser valued Qin Yue.

“I’m not really going to go to the water cooler in the new season, am I?”

At this moment, Chris Ellis admitted that he did start to panic.
Although shortly after the full-court offensive and defensive drill began, he received a pass from Paul and completed a wonderful slam dunk.

But when Ellis noticed that Prosser had never paid any attention to them from beginning to end, and his eyes were fixed on Qin Yue who was training alone, Ellis didn't know why, but he felt a chill in his heart.

"Is that kid really that good?"
