Chapter 12 The beast is out of the cage, the better one (new book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

Is Qin Yue really that good?

The answer to that question obviously depends on how you look at its growth over the past summer.

When he was a freshman, "Qin Yue" also possessed excellent static talent, but Prosser at that time was only training "him" as the team's reserve force.

Why?

Because that "Qin Yue" proved with his poor performance in the first team training class of his college career that "he" was not a person worthy of investment.

Prosser still remembers the scene.

Facing the provocation and ridicule of his opponent on the court, "Qin Yue" not only showed no sign of wanting to fight back, but he even hid further and further away, so that he had to remind him: "Kid, you are playing basketball, not hide-and-seek."

What made Prosser feel helpless was that since that training session, "Qin Yue" began to completely mess up.

Talent is important.

But if you don't have a strong heart
What do you have to redeem this gift God has given you?

In fact, this summer, when Prosser learned that Qin Yue had defeated the Beast in the River Valley Cup, his first reaction was that he must have heard it wrong. "How is this possible? Could it be that the Beast and that kid were competing in sumo?"

At the end of last semester, Prosser had seen "Qin Yue" from a distance.

Prosser clearly remembered the scene of "Qin Yue" walking at that time:

As he walked, the fat on his body trembled, and he looked like a big ball of meat.

In fact, after the River Valley Cup ended, even though he verified it immediately afterwards, Prosser still couldn't believe that Qin Yue could defeat the beast.

Until that sunny afternoon.

Until Prosser saw with his own eyes the changes that took place in Qin Yue.

Until Qin Yue said to himself, "Coach, I want to play basketball."

Prosser just realized that the Qin Yue in front of him was completely different from the "Qin Yue" in his memory.

At the end of the summer vacation, Prosser watched Qin Yue hone his basic skills bit by bit.

Watching Qin Yue use his amazing perseverance to get rid of the fat on his body bit by bit.

Although in the eyes of the well-informed Prosser, Qin Yue is still a piece of unpolished jade that needs time and patience to be carefully carved, but through the observation of Qin Yue during this period
However, Prosser firmly believed that this child who was growing up day by day under his watch was like a beast about to be released from a cage.

As long as he can persevere and keep his feet on the ground, the day when he breaks out of the cage, the entire American college basketball world will be able to hear his roar.

When a tiger roars in the mountains, all the beasts scatter.

"You know, Victor, the beast from Wake Forest is about to be released from the cage." On the court, turning his head to look at his assistant coach, Prosser said with anticipation.

"So, this is why you specifically picked North Carolina as his college debut?" Victor asked curiously.

Prosser smiled and said, “Only an opponent like North Carolina is worthy of this beast’s debut.”

Victor nodded: "How much time do you plan to give him?"

Prosser stroked his chin, "Fifteen minutes, even in November, he still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of college basketball.

But for these 15 minutes, I'm going to use him as the core of the field."

Victor thought for a while and said, "How far do you think he can go in the game?"

Prosser put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I don't know, but I am looking forward to that day."

……

Under Prosser's gaze, as Qin Yue successfully completed the special training plan set by the old man for him, September of that year also turned into the dust of history.

After September, Qin Yue's weight had dropped to 141.5 kilograms.

Compared with his previous crazy weight loss, Qin Yue's recent weight loss speed has obviously slowed down a lot.

However, despite the numerous difficulties, before the big battle with North Carolina in November, Qin Yue still set himself a goal of reducing his weight to around 11 kilograms.

In addition, in October, in accordance with the previous promise made to Qin Yue, Prosser finally allowed him to join the team's daily training.

"Did you suddenly realize that college basketball is not as difficult as you thought?"

That day, looking at Qin Yue who was in the limelight in the team competition, Prosser smiled as if bathed in spring breeze.

Hearing this, Qin Yue nodded.

“That’s why I want you to train alone for a month.

Practicing together can certainly help you get familiar with your teammates and understand the team's playing style and specific tactics.

But only individual training can further stimulate your potential." Prosser said to Qin Yue.

Prosser was well aware that the previous "Qin Yue" had many defects and bad habits in basic skills.

This meant that no matter how talented he was in the past, it was difficult for him to display his talents on the court.

But after a month of special training, with his basic skills becoming more solid, Qin Yue's terrifying static talent was further activated. And at the same time.
Qin Yue's dynamic talent has also begun to stir recently.

It is not uncommon for American college basketball to see a player suddenly take off in a certain semester because of the activation of his dynamic talent.

But when Qin Yue noticed that his skills had become more and more flexible recently, he still couldn't believe it.
It is amazing that he has such amazing coordination with a body that is over 205 cm tall.

As we all know, due to the influence of many objective factors that cannot be violated, generally speaking, the taller a person is, the more likely he or she is to be equated with the word "bulky".

Back then, a large part of the reason why Yao Ming became the No. 220 draft pick in the NBA was that before he gained weight, he possessed agility that was rare among players over cm tall.

Qin Yue didn't know to what extent his body's coordination would be improved after he completely lost weight.

But such coordination obviously does not exist in "Qin Yue's" memory.

In Qin Yue's opinion, during the period of his weight loss, his body may have undergone a radical transformation quietly.

Yes.

Don’t forget that before activating the Mountain Top System, Qin Yue could exchange a bottle of nutrient supplement from the system every day.

"The potential rewards for physical attributes that I obtained from the system before will not be added until the system is activated, so does this mean that when the system is activated in the future, I can get another wave of epic enhancements?" Qin Yue thought silently, clenching his fists.

At this moment, Qin Yue was looking forward to the day when he would officially activate the [Mountain Top] system more than ever.

Because he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the dynamic and static talents of his body could compete with those superhumans in his memories.

In October, according to Prosser's previous arrangement, Wake Forest played warm-up games with four D1 schools that were not very strong.

Led by Paul, Wake Forest won all four games easily.

"Chris is amazing. It turns out that he had already started studying the tactics of the Demon Deacons when he committed to Wake Forest last year."

As a spectator, after watching these four games on the sidelines, Qin Yue couldn't help but sigh as he watched Paul seamlessly integrate with the team and, in a sense, make the team better.

Sure enough, none of the NBA stars I remembered were vegetarians.

In this life, after spending several months with Paul, Qin Yue discovered that if Paul was really as incompetent as those haters said in his memory, how could he become the point guard god recognized by the world later?

ha?
Who do you ask who is recognized?

Emmmmm
Who can know this?
Anyway, through this period of time with Paul, Qin Yue has a completely different understanding of him.

"Next time, we're going to play North Carolina."

On this day, after the team's last warm-up match in October, Paul gave a special reminder as he looked at Qin Yue, who had become increasingly muscular in recent days.

"I know that game will be my debut in my college career." Qin Yue said with forced calmness.

Hearing this, Paul, who saw through everything, smiled and said, "Do you need me to share with you some experience on how to overcome pre-match nervousness?"

Qin Yue shook his head. "Don't think I'm that weak, Chris. I have an absolutely strong heart."

Paul shrugged, then suddenly extended his right fist to Qin Yue. "You were wrong just now, Qin. The next game will not only be your college debut, but also the first time the two of us will team up in a college game."

The next second, as his big fist hit his small fist, Qin Yue, who felt the tension disappear a lot, bowed his head and said to Paul: "Thanks, Chris, you are such a good person."

"You too, Qin." Paul said after patting Qin Yue on the back.

The big battle with North Carolina is coming.

On that day, silently watching the tall and short duo sending each other the nice guy card, Prosser always felt that in the upcoming battle, there seemed to be more than one beast about to be released from the cage.

Yes.

In the match against North Carolina, Wake Forest will likely release two beasts.

Because of Felton, Paul has been waiting for this day to come.

"Since we already have Raymond, we are sorry that we cannot offer you the playing time you would like."

Whenever Paul recalled what the North Carolina coach said to him, he would get furious.

Although, in high school, Felton was indeed a better point guard than himself.

But Paul never thought he had no chance to surpass Felton in the future.

And now.
A great opportunity has been presented to Paul.

Even if it's just a friendly match.

Paul also wants to prove himself to the North Carolina coaching staff.

Proof between him and Felton
He is the better one.
