Chapter 19: President Duke! (New book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

"Good morning, Wake Forest. Yesterday's game turned Duke's home court into the quietest library in the state.

Thanks to our inspirational legend Qin, who taught Duke supporters how to watch the game in a civilized manner.

I think those 'Cameron lunatics' will not be able to swallow this breath. Well, now let us start a new day of pursuing our dreams with Duke's new president, your inspirational legend!"

The day after the game with Duke, when Qin Yue stepped into the school gate, he had quietly got a new nickname.

As we all know, the feud between Wake Forest and Duke has a long history.

Even Wake Forest's Demon Deacons were named to remind Duke:
If you are the Blue Devils, then we are the judges of the devil.

Therefore, after Qin Yue became the first Wake Forest player in history to dare to challenge those lunatics in Cameron Arena and lead the school team to a big win away from home.
Wake Forest supporters, who never missed an opportunity to tease Duke, immediately dubbed him "President Duke."

In the eyes of Wake Forest supporters, this nickname can not only commemorate Qin Yue's dominant performance in Cameron Arena last night, but also remind the group of Duke fans who call themselves "Cameron Madmen":

As long as the "Principal" Qin Yue tells you to shut up, you have to shut up.

At this moment, Prosser, who just wanted to use Duke as a stepping stone for Qin Yue to enter the NBA in the future before the game, never dreamed that his unintentional act would lead to such an interesting story.

but
That morning, when greeting his classmates at school, Qin Yue always felt that the nickname "Principal" had an indescribable odor.

Although most of the conversations between classmates were normal, whenever the other party called him "Principal", Qin Yue would inexplicably think of a bald guy.

Well, putting aside the bald head, the nickname "Principal Duke" is actually quite domineering in Qin Yue's opinion.

After all, judging from the feud between Wake Forest and Duke, this nickname will surely be passed down from generation to generation by their younger classmates in the future.

Fifty years from now, people may forget what they look like.

But as long as Wake Forest exists, when their juniors have "friendly exchanges" with Duke in the future, they will definitely hold their heads high and tell them:

No matter how great you are, your "principal" was once our senior.

……

After defeating Duke, the nickname "President Duke" quickly spread, as well as Qin Yue's fame in the entire American college basketball community.

The next day, ESPN promptly updated the position rankings of Qin Yue's classmates.

On this new list.
"Principal" soared from 13th in the United States to 4th in the United States.

As for the poor "landlord", he fell from the second place in the United States to the fifth place in the United States.

另外，在当天的新闻报道里，ESPN还高度赞扬了率领球队在客场以89比69战胜杜克这场比赛里为魔鬼执事队砍下28分、14个篮板、5次助攻、4记封盖、1次抢断的秦岳。

In his personal scouting report, he was described as follows: "He is good at both offense and defense, and he is full of energy whenever he is on the field.

Combined with his past experience, his psychological quality is also guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, his physical fitness and various skills still need more games to be tested.

In summary, we believe that his reference template is Andrei Kirilenko, who is slightly slower in lateral movement but stronger. "

In the 03/04 season, Kirilenko, nicknamed "AK47", had already become famous in the NBA.

This Russian wingspan monster has a terrifying defensive area on the court and is known for his outstanding assist defense ability and strong individual defense ability.

In ESPN's view, Qin Yue and Kirilenko have many similarities in their defensive contributions to the team.

Although in the game against Duke, Qin Yue also showed his talent in ball-holding offense.

But until his ball-handling skills reach a higher level, ESPN believes that it has no reference value.

After all, those college players who have been successful in the NCAA in the past have proved with their experience in the NBA that college basketball and the NBA are two completely different worlds.

"If he wants to have more say on the court in the future, he must show us through the game that he has the talent and ability in this area."

At the end of this scout report, ESPN commented on Qin Yue's current offensive performance. Overall, compared to the unreliable reports from ESPN in Qin Yue's memory, ESPN was barely objective and neutral this time.

But as Qin Yue's teacher
At this moment, Mr. Prosser's eyes could no longer tolerate anyone other than Qin Yue. However, after reading the scouting reports on Qin Yue from multiple media outlets that day, he flew into a rage and said, "American basketball is completely hopeless!"

Regarding the fact that Qin Yue is currently ranked only fourth in the same position, Prosser said indignantly: "How come you are only fourth? In the last game, you clearly defeated Sheldon Williams, who is ranked second in the United States!

Oh, let me think about it, that guy scored 12 points in the game, almost all of them were scored when you were resting, right? "

Then, Prosser complained about the reference template ESPN gave to Qin Yue: “Andrei Kirilenko, humph!

It's amazing that they came up with this idea. I guess ESPN has never seen a player like you play, right?"

On the training ground, after calming down a little.
When Prosser noticed that a media outlet gave Qin Yue the template of Robert Horry, he went crazy again, "Robert Horry? Don't media outlets need to use their brains when writing news reports nowadays?

Because you can shoot three-pointers, they want to push you towards Robert Horry?"

That day, seeing Prosser jumping up and down in anger, Qin Yue, who was amused by him, asked curiously, "Coach, who should be my reference model in your mind?"

Hearing this, Prosser said without hesitation: "Of course I hope you can become an all-round enhanced Larry Bird, but considering that you like to attack the basket
In my opinion, you're more likely to be a taller Charles Barkley."

Good guy!
Bird or Barkley?
Two nasty templates!
As for the former, if Qin Yue remembered correctly, in his memory, no player named "Bird II" could successfully realize his talent.

As for the latter.
In the future, Zion, who is recognized by the NBA as the player most like Barkley, will either be lying in a hospital bed or on the way to a hospital bed.

In short, in the basketball world, Bird and Barkley are like two cursed templates. Often, anyone who is associated with them will be tainted with misfortune.

Of course, compared with these two templates, what Qin Yue felt from Prosser at this moment
It's full of warmth.

Qin Yue knew very well that this mentor had not only taught him everything he knew in the past few months, but was also very protective of him and was afraid that the media would belittle him in their reports and affect his future career.

"No wonder those NBA players who played in college miss their college coaches so much." At this moment, looking at Prosser, Qin Yue thought silently.

In December, in order to prove to the world that his disciple was seriously underestimated by the outside world, Prosser strictly controlled Qin Yue's playing time while further enhancing his voice on the court.

Although Qin Yue had made some low-level mistakes in the game, such as dribbling the ball to his feet or dribbling it out of bounds.
But with a lot of ball possession, he was frantically gaining experience in ball-holding offense and established his own way of playing through the game.

As the second ball handler on the court and the first ball handler when Paul is resting, this "Duke Principal" is evolving rapidly at a speed far beyond the imagination of the outside world under the careful cultivation of Prosser, the gardener, during his most critical growth period.

And at the same time.
In December, during a US TV station's "Christmas Special" about college basketball, a pair of wise eyes quietly noticed Qin Yue.

picture!
It’s so similar!

What Kirilenko, Robert Horry?

This child is absolutely my successor, my disciple!

After watching the highlights of Qin Yue's sophomore season, Charles Barkley, who had long been tired of the topic of "Jordan's successor", was surprised to find that
It turns out that there is a successor to my master in the world.

The moment he noticed Qin Yue, Barkley made up his mind.

Next, he must nip in the bud any possibility of this child leaning towards other templates.

At this moment, Barkley swore to God that he was not jealous of the group of successors that Jordan had, so he fell in love with Qin Yue at first sight.

After all, everyone knows that Barkley never envied Jordan.

是 的
Never jealous.

"Why can Michael be missed every day by his successors in the NBA after he retires, while I can only sit in the commentary booth and praise his successors?"

Bang!
In the TNT studio, after banging his head hard on the desk in front of Kenny Smith, Barkley thought to himself with an indignant look on his face.
