Chapter 8: The charm of news, becoming famous in one battle! (New book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

Although the feeling of jumping with all his strength was very satisfying, in the next game, Qin Yue still returned to the floor flow.

After all, Zion Williams, who will be much slimmer in the future, has proved with his medical records that when your knees bear a weight that they cannot bear.
If it is supposed to break, it will break.

In Qin Yue's eyes, long-term health is king. He doesn't want to immerse himself in the American medical experience just for a streetball game.

Although, there will most likely be young and beautiful nurses in the hospital.

However, on the court, facing Qin Yue who took the initiative to return to the ground, the beast Ellis still couldn't get any advantage over him.

Ellis' advantage lies in his mobility, but today he chose to confront Qin Yue head-on.

As a result, not only did Ellis fail to regain his advantage, but he also helped Qin Yue deeply realize how great an advantage his body brought him on the defensive end.

A few days ago, Qin Yue measured his height and arm span again.

According to measurements, his bare feet are 206 cm and his arm span is 225 cm.

Therefore, even if he doesn't jump, as long as Ellis can't squeeze out under the basket, Qin Yue can use his height and arm span to interfere with Ellis.

Moreover, compared to the "Qin Yue" who was afraid of confrontation in Ellis' memory, Qin Yue, who often played street basketball in his previous life, was obviously more slick on the defensive end.

After discovering that Ellis's only means of attacking the basket were back-to-the-basket and forced breakthrough, Qin Yue would always deliberately keep Ellis at a distance when defending, and then engage in physical confrontation after he started.

This kind of defense is simply rogue in a game where there are no fouls and the intensity of confrontation is tacitly allowed.

For this reason, Ellis protested to the referee many times, but even if the referee called a defensive foul on Qin Yue, Ellis, who had already had mental problems, found it difficult to make the free throw.

Seeing this, after playing a few rounds, Ellis had to focus his attention on the defensive end, trying to save some face through defense, which is what he is best at.

But Qin Yue's subsequent playing style on the court almost made Ellis collapse.

Because Qin Yue, who had already made up his mind to cling to Paul's thigh, had never thought about personal attack.

On the court, as Paul's wingman, Qin Yue's scoring method mainly relies on mid-range and long-range shots after pick-and-roll.

If Ellis can make up for the defense after the delay, Qin Yue will use his wide vision at the top of the arc to transfer the ball.

During the time he trained with Paul, Qin Yue not only honed his basic skills, but he also absorbed Paul's organizational skills.

On the other hand, through this game, Paul, who had cooperated with Qin Yue on the court many times, also discovered that in addition to the increasing tacit understanding with himself, Qin Yue seemed to have considerable potential for support.

In the game, after a pick-and-roll with himself, Qin Yue, who received the ball at the top of the arc, completed a very wonderful assist:

He stood at the top of the arc without looking at anyone, and directly found CJ through a ground pass, assisting the latter to score at the basket.

"Did you just observe CJ's movement?" Paul asked.

Qin Yue nodded, "I waited for him to run for a while because his cut was much slower than I thought."

Upon hearing this, Paul immediately made a decision. He planned to list passing as a separate item in Qin Yue's next training course and develop Qin Yue's potential in supporting the team.

As a natural organizer, Paul knows how much help a supporting inside player can provide to a traditional point guard like him on the court.

In Qin Yue's memory, the reason why David West and Blake Griffin, who had worked with Paul, were able to develop higher supporting abilities was precisely because Paul's own playing style determined that he desperately needed a supporting point to help him distribute the ball on the court.

It’s a pity that Qin Yue and Paul failed to win the $1500 together in this streetball game.

In this 50-point game, Qin Yue's physical fitness obviously declined in the later stages due to the influence of his weight. In addition, Ronnie Evans, who looks like Tyrese Gibson, also broke out in the second half of the game and made 7 three-pointers for the senior team.

CJ, who was responsible for guarding Evans, was very depressed after the game. "How can he be so accurate? He must be cheating!"

Hearing this, Paul glanced at his brother and said, "In front of your defense, even an elementary school student can be so accurate."

CJ, whose mask was torn off by his own brother, revealed a clown face and blushed as he retorted, "Really? Then who in high school could lose to me seven out of ten bullfights?"

Paul shrugged and said calmly, "You should have some shame. I was only about 1.6 meters tall at that time. Is it really something to be proud of that you lost to me three times out of ten bullfights?"

CJ: “.”

You are such a good brother to me, Chris!

Seeing this scene, Qin Yue couldn't help but envy the relationship between the Paul brothers.

On the other hand, the trio who were nearly defeated by Paul, the freshman, were not happy at all.

Although Paul's skillful dribbling and elegant organization on the court will definitely bring great improvement to the Demon Deacons in the new season.
But whenever they think about the fact that they narrowly won today's match thanks to Ronnie Evans' explosive performance, the "senior trio" always feel like they have lost all their face.

Especially Ellis, the beast who is the main center of the school team.

Ellis knew that today's streetball game would definitely become the front-page headline of Wake Forest University tomorrow.

Even though it's a holiday, the news department is full of idiots who like to watch the fun.
They would definitely complain in the school newspaper about how they were embarrassed by Qin Yue, the shame of Wake Forest, in the game, and then send an email to each student who subscribed to the school newspaper to prevent them from missing out on the melon during the holidays.

Whenever he thought of this, Ellis wanted to bury his head in the ground.

"My condolences, 'Beast'. I think after today, there will never be a chance for you and Harley again." Evans teased after patting Ellis on the shoulder.

"What do you think the coaching staff will think after seeing today's game report?" Monk asked curiously.

Among the three, Evans, who has the best mentality, spread his hands and said: "Look at it on the bright side, the better Chris Paul plays, doesn't it mean that we have more hope for the new season?
But having said that, after this match, Beast, I suggest you ask Qin for advice. "

Ellis said dejectedly, "Can you please teach me about defense?"

Evans shook his head. "No, I mean the experience of managing the water dispenser. After all, you need relevant experience in this area urgently after the new season starts."

Ellis: “.”

……

"Breaking news! The 'disgrace of the school team' completely defeated the school team's main center 'beast' Chris Ellis in the River Valley Cup streetball game! Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"

"According to relevant insiders, Hallie Woodson, who Chris Ellis had been pursuing, has thrown herself into the arms of rugby captain Dawson Johnson yesterday. At present, there is still no direct evidence to prove that Hallie chose to close the door to the Beast because of the Beast's poor performance in the Valley Cup."

The day after the River Valley Cup, when Qin Yue received an email from the school's news department, he almost sprayed the nutritional supplement he had just drunk onto the old-fashioned computer monitor in front of him.

I have to say, journalism is a
It does have its own unique charm.

"I hope Chris Ellis can keep a calm mind and don't choose to give up on himself like the 'me' before." After mourning for Ellis for three seconds in his heart, Qin Yue said silently.
