Chapter 16: Meeting on a Narrow Road (New book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

If Qin Yue's Christmas wish this year is to make it to the NBA and become famous in the future, then Prosser is undoubtedly the Santa Claus responsible for putting gifts in his socks.

Duke Blue Devils, a stepping stone carefully selected by Prosser for Qin Yue.

Not only is it of great value, but it also has its own traffic due to the century-long feud between Wake Forest and Duke.

The day before the game, Prosser announced the team's starting lineup for the match against Duke.

then
The next second, Qin Yue became the object of everyone's attention.

At this moment, the players of the Demon Deacon team had every reason to suspect that there must be an unspeakable secret between Qin Yue and Prosser.

Judging from Qin Yue's recent performance, no teammate would question that this guy is not worthy of being the team's starter.

therefore
What really made his teammates doubt their lives was the tactical arrangement that Prosser made just after announcing the starting lineup.

For tomorrow night's game, Prosser's tactical arrangement is full of details.

But no matter how many details are arranged, it can be summarized in the simplest words:

——Take Qin Yue as the core and launch the attack around Qin Yue.

Oh, and there is one most important arrangement:
——In the next game, Qin Yue will have unlimited firing rights on the court.

As we all know, this Demon Deacons team has long been labeled "Paul's team."

But can you believe it?
During the pre-match arrangements, the most common thing Mr. Prosser said to Paul was, "In the next game against Duke, are you going to play the role of assisting Qin Yue on the court?"
What was most incredible to everyone was that Paul accepted all of this with a clear conscience.

Is this really Chris Paul?
After several months of getting along, who in the Demon Deacons team doesn't know that Paul is petty?

As another extremely competitive player in the team, Paul, who has always been competitive in everything since he was a child, is never as easy to talk to as he looks when he smiles.

Even though everyone knows that Qin Yue and Paul have always had a close relationship,
Chris Paul, are you really willing to help Qin Yue in the game?
So, either these people don’t know Paul well enough?
In fact, compared to his core position in a certain game, what Paul could not bear more was the disastrous defeat suffered by the Demon Deacons in Illinois in the last game.

That big defeat not only turned the Demon Deacons into a "pseudo-strong team" in the media's eyes in an instant, losing their No. 1 spot in the United States, but also allowed people to see the gap between Paul and Deron through their specific performance on the court.

Even the campus radio the next day complained: "Good morning, Wake Forest, our inspirational legend set a new career high yesterday, but our guard handed the victory to the opponent.

Well, it was a terrible game, I hope it doesn't ruin your good mood to start the day."

After the last game, Paul found Prosser alone.

I hope the other party can tell me what I should do so as not to become the defender who hands over the victory to the opponent.

In response, looking at Paul who still needs to be polished at this moment, Prosser smiled and said: "Chris, isn't the key to victory always with you?"

With Qin Yue's rapid growth, Prosser is very clear that the current Qin Yue can fully assume more responsibilities on the court.

Indeed, the Paul in Qin Yue's memory had no choice, so he could only choose to take the lead alone.

But how could Paul have no choice in this life?

“In college basketball, not all teams don’t have weaknesses.

Some teams are strong on the outside, while others are strong on the inside.

Chris, you are the core point guard of the team. Only by making good use of each of your teammates can you inspire the maximum combat power of this team. "

After Prosser had a heart-to-heart talk with him, Paul couldn't help but recall Qin Yue who hugged him during the game against North Carolina.

"Chris, from now on, you are no longer fighting alone."

At this moment, Paul understood. "I understand, coach. Next, I will do my best to activate Qin's full potential on the court."

After the crushing defeat to Illinois, and then facing the strong enemy Duke, Paul was eager to wash away the shame with a victory. Therefore, in Paul's opinion, Mr. Prosser's pre-match arrangements on that day must have a deep meaning.

just
During the tactical discussion, Paul looked worried when he noticed that Prosser had casually mentioned Duke's inside players.

Because Paul knew very well that the inside line of this Blue Devils was definitely not what Prosser said, and no one could deal with Qin Yue.

After the meeting, Paul wanted to talk to Qin Yue alone and explain to him the technical characteristics of Duke University's inside players.

But who would have thought that Evans, who looked like Tyrese Gibson, had already found Qin Yue at the first opportunity, "Qin, do you know the 'landlord'?"

Hearing this, Qin Yue said with a puzzled look: “Ronnie, I don’t need to rent a house.”

Evans glanced at Qin Yue unhappily and said, "I'm not talking about the 'landlord', but the 'landlord' Sheldon Williams."

Sheldon Williams, the core of Duke Blue Devils.

Although in Qin Yue's memory, his wife Candace Parker will be more famous than him in the future, Sheldon in college was definitely a dominant inside player.

"Because the entire three-second zone is his territory, opponents must pay rent before entering, so everyone likes to call him the 'landlord'.

Qin, I think you also know that our coach never likes to boost others' morale and undermine his own prestige before the game.

But, as your teammate, I have to remind you that Sheldon is currently ranked second in the United States in your position. "Evans said to Qin Yue.

In the future, Sheldon, whose real barefoot height is only 202 cm, will be revealed at the physical fitness test meeting, but he has a terrifying wingspan of 224 cm.

His weight in college was around 115 kilograms, and he was a highly mobile tank-type inside player.

And during his time at Duke, Shelton also developed excellent defensive habits.

On defense, he was so good at rebounding and blocking shots that he was even called the most reliable inside barrier in the NCAA by the American media.

In addition, on the offensive end, he has solid back-to-the-basket skills. Various hook shots under the basket are his specialties, and when the team needs it, he can pull up to the high post and make mid-range shots to create space for his teammates.

Although Sheldon never showed his offensive strengths again after entering the NBA as the level of confrontation increased, the same thing still applies.
In college basketball, Sheldon Williams is an absolute nightmare for all opponents.

"Thank you for your reminder, Ronnie, but did you really listen carefully to the tactics the coach arranged for us just now?" Qin Yue asked, looking down at Evans.

Seeing this, Evans, who felt that Qin Yue did not realize the seriousness of the problem, hurriedly said: "Of course I listened carefully, but Qin, you know, last year'The Beast' was just like a toy in front of Sheldon."

"The Beast is the Beast and I am me, Ronnie.

Believe in the coach's tactical arrangement. Since the coach thinks Sheldon will not cause trouble to me, I think so too. "After patting Evans on the shoulder, Qin Yue said.

no way.
Some things Qin Yue didn't know how to explain to Evans before they actually happened.

In fact, when Qin Yue learned about the tactical details that Prosser had arranged for him at the tactical preparation meeting today, he couldn't help but sigh that the old coach's chest, which has not yet been extinguished, indeed contains the heart of an adventurer!

Qin Yue knew very well that in the next game, Prosser was not just using Duke as a stepping stone for himself.
He also wanted to test how much of his talent he had realized in recent times through a strong match.

On the training ground, after taking a deep breath, Qin Yue immediately turned around and devoted himself to the last extra training session before the game.

Sheldon Williams?
Since you are the second best player in the United States at the same position, I will give you a try. With the tactical support of Mr. Prosser, I will see if I can use you as a stepping stone to make a name for myself in the NBA in the future!
