Chapter 37 It's hard to say (new book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets)
Qin Yue did not refuse James' repeated overtures.

He is a kid who grew up reading Jordan's biography.

Although basketball became his lifelong belief when he grew up, and he was also keen on watching NBA and various basketball games, he was not interested in the NBA stars after Jordan.
In fact, Qin Yue didn’t have any special feelings.

And, even Michael Jordan
Qin Yue had complained more than once that he was a complete scumbag.

Before, the reason why Qin Yue didn't want to get involved in James' deliberate solicitation was mainly because he had more important things to do at the time.

At that time, he was busy eliminating all opponents in the ACC league. How could he have the mind to make friends with the famous "The King"?
Now, even though he has been treated coldly, James has actively shown his good wishes to make friends with him.
In Qin Yue's eyes, he couldn't refuse at all.

after all
When you are in the world, it is never a bad thing to make more friends.

"Hahaha, Qin, I didn't expect you to be such a humorous person."

On the banana boat, after Qin Yue told Anthony that James' failure to lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs this year proved that he had great potential.
This cold joke that Qin Yue stole from Duncan immediately made Anthony laugh.

Hearing this, James immediately pretended to think and said, "I see, I didn't make it to the playoffs because I wanted to tell people that I still have a lot of potential waiting to be tapped."

I have to say that friendships between young people develop very quickly.

This afternoon, when the team was playing two-on-two beach volleyball.
Qin Yue and James became good brothers who could talk about almost anything.

Since Qin Yue and James had an absolute height advantage in this beach volleyball game, after winning three games in a row against Paul and Anthony, James jumped onto Qin Yue's back with excitement.

Seeing this, Qin Yue imitated O'Neal back then. He carried James on his back and pointed at James and said to Paul and Anthony: "See? This is my omnipotent little brother."

Because Qin Yue is one year older than James, James is not angry about being called "little brother" by Qin Yue. Instead, he said after landing from Qin Yue's back: "My king, you are incredible
You know, Chris and Melo have to do three things for us now!
Not one, not two, but three!"

"It's not fair, LeBron, you have Qin as your teammate, but I only have..."

On the beach, before Anthony could finish his words, his teammate Paul tackled him to the ground.

On the side, seeing this scene, James immediately pulled Qin Yue together to dig a "grave" for Anthony on the beach, and worked with Paul to bury him in this "grave".

"Today is the end of Carmelo Anthony."

At this moment, looking at Anthony being buried in the "grave", the three of them complained together.

This is the first day of Qin Yue's vacation in the Bahamas.
Four young men of similar age spent the whole day doing stupid things that seemed unreasonable to others.

"Our friendship transcends time and it began with this vacation. In the years that followed, our friendship continued to deepen. The feeling is hard to describe in words, but we all know how close we are to each other and how we help each other, until" - Preface to the LeBron James chapter of Qin Yue's autobiography "The Mountain Top".

……

Happy times are always short-lived. Although Qin Yue established a deep friendship with James and Anthony during his vacation in the Bahamas, he still had to return to Wake Forest after the vacation to complete his important steps before entering the NBA:

- Through the training that Grover will arrange for him next, he will gain the strength that can satisfy the world's fantasy of him.

In addition, this summer, since Paul will represent the US youth team in the World Youth Championship, Qin Yue also found Ronnie Evans, hoping that he can play Paul's usual role in the upcoming summer vacation.
Well, the main task is to pick up the ball for myself. (Paul:?)

In this regard, Evans accepted Qin Yue's invitation without any hesitation.

In fact, the reason why Qin Yue invited Evans to train with him during the holidays was mainly because as his fame grew, it was time for him to form a team.

Generally speaking, in the NBA, when forming a team, stars will try their best to choose people around them.

For example, James, who was happily playing with Qin Yue in the Bahamas not long ago.
He completed the building of his team through planning very early on.

Although when James and his team entered the NBA, many people regarded his team as a bunch of lackeys.
But it was with the help of this group of followers that James built his own business empire in the NBA step by step.

Randy Mims, who helps James take care of his personal affairs, Maverick Carter, who returned from Nike, and Rich Paul, who was arranged by James to learn from top agent Leon Rose.
Later, the name of the famous "LRMR", one of the most powerful marketing companies in the NBA, was derived from the English initials of James and his three followers.

Qin Yue knew very well that after entering the NBA in the future, he would not be able to do everything by himself, so after a long period of observation, he thought that Evans was exactly the kind of talent he urgently needed.

As his senior, Evans, who majored in journalism in college, will graduate next year.

He usually has excellent academic performance and is eloquent.

And the most important thing is that this guy has a very high emotional intelligence.

When Gray returned to the team after recovering from injury, he successfully helped himself resolve the embarrassment of not knowing what to say at the time.

Evans was also well aware of Qin Yue's invitation.

he knows very well
From the moment he accepted Qin Yue's invitation, he was no longer the Ronnie Evans of the past, but the Ronnie Evans beside Qin Yue.

What's the difference between the two, you ask?
In order to prove that he deserves the title of “Evans beside Qin Yue”, Evans has put all his heart and soul on Qin Yue since he accepted Qin Yue’s invitation.

Because Rachel is going to intern at Nike headquarters this summer.
Evans not only took the initiative to take on the task of filming videos for Qin Yue, but he also took on the task of writing a "daily record" for Qin Yue.

It seems that Evans's actions were a bit exaggerated.

But for Qin Yue, whose future is definitely in the NBA, Evans feels that he has not done well enough.

"In the future, you will definitely have your own documentary and biography. Only if we prepare in advance can we let people see more stories about you in the future." Evans said to Qin Yue that day.

In the United States, many people around talented players do similar things.

The purpose is to let the world know more about these geniuses' stories after they become famous, as well as to make money in the simplest and most direct way.

Last season, Rachel took a lot of personal shots of Qin Yue in the name of the school's news department.

And when chatting with Qin Yue, Rachel once expressed with regret that how great it would be if she could have met Qin Yue when Qin Yue was losing weight?
"If you can use your past self for comparison, do you know how much of a visual impact it will have on people when you put those scenes into your documentary in the future?" Rachel said to Qin Yue with a look of regret on her face.

However, after learning about Rachel's thoughts, Qin Yue immediately told her the good news.

That is.
Not only was someone filming his weight loss period.
Moreover, after Qin Yue became famous, that person took the initiative to give up the rights and interests of these shots and gave the videotapes to Qin Yue for free. "Who shot these scenes?" Rachel asked curiously.

“Chris Paul’s older brother, Charles C.J. Paul.

Last year when I was training with Chris, CJ would always film us and tell us
If we become famous in the future, these shots will definitely come in handy." Qin Yue said to Rachel.

"He's such a nice guy."

"What a coincidence. I think so too."

……

In June, as the sophomore semester officially came to an end, Qin Yue received both good news and bad news.

The good news is that although he has become a topic of discussion among basketball fans every day in the country
However, the qualification for the Olympic men's basketball competition during this period was obtained by winning the Asian Championships in the previous year.
In addition, Qin Yue was not a member of the Basketball Association, so after some consideration, the Chinese Basketball Association officially issued an announcement in June of this year.

"As for Qin Yue, a young Chinese basketball player who is of great concern to many fans, we are very happy that he can make a name for himself in the NCAA. At the same time, we will continue to pay attention to him.

We believe that one day in the future, Qin Yue will wear the jersey of the Chinese men's basketball team and win glory for the country.

However, considering that the national team's training has started since the beginning of the year, Qin Yue himself also needs to complete his studies at Wake Forest University during the next summer vacation.
So after careful consideration, we will not call Qin Yue into the national team's training roster for the upcoming Athens Olympics."

There is no doubt that this announcement issued by the Chinese Basketball Association is definitely good news for Qin Yue at the moment.

Although the Olympics is indeed the dream of many basketball players
Qin Yue also knew that the Chinese men's basketball team at the beginning of the 21st century was by no means the weak team it would be in the next years.

However, the announcement issued by the Chinese Basketball Association in June has given Qin Yue more time to complete the next crucial evolution.

It is true that Olympic competitions themselves have strong training value.

Can.
Considering Qin Yue's identity as a non-member of the Basketball Association, how can Qin Yue ensure that he will be able to play in the Olympics after participating in the national team training?

Moreover, even if we take a step back, the qualification for this year's Athens Olympics was won by others through winning the Asian Championships last year.
What qualifications did Qin Yue have to replace an old senior and still demand that the national team must give him sufficient playing time in the Olympics?

In addition, compared with intensive training, Qin Yue obviously needs more personal training at the moment.

As someone who has been through this, Qin Yue knew very well that the men's basketball training during this period could not help him improve as quickly as individual special training.

Therefore, shortly after the Basketball Association issued the announcement, Qin Yue also very sensibly responded to the Basketball Association through the media.

"I would like to thank the fans in my country for their love and for taking the time to follow me on the other side of the ocean.

Regarding being left out of the national team training list, I personally think that this is both reasonable and fully in line with the current interests of the national team.

As a Chinese player, I will stay true to my original aspiration and keep moving forward in the years ahead, striving to win glory for my country one day."

Seeing that Qin Yue, who was sensible and did not cause any trouble to them, the Chinese Basketball Association immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

after all
Before publishing that announcement, they were really worried that Qin Yue would put pressure on them through the fans.

"What a great pressure! It's rare that the Basketball Association is so sensible. Of course I will fully cooperate!"

That day, after responding to the Chinese Basketball Association, Qin Yue turned around and devoted himself to training.

As for the bad news that Qin Yue harvested in June?
"Don't these NBA legends have anything to do?
Why does this one want to see me, and that one also wants to see me? "

At this moment, the "this" and "that" Qin Yue mentioned were Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan respectively.

Since Qin Yue was designated as his successor in TNT's "Christmas Special", Barkley plans to take time to meet with Qin Yue formally after this year's finals.

And what about Jordan?

Although I just met Qin Yue not long ago.
But as the successor of the eternal white moonlight in his mind, Jordan thought that he had every obligation to take time out to inspect Qin Yue's training.

Originally, for Qin Yue now, meeting these two big men was a good thing.

After all, that was Jordan and Barkley.

But the bad thing is.
The next time these two people want to meet Qin Yue is
the same day.

"Can they change the time? What I mean is, isn't there anyone among them willing to give in?" That day, looking at Grover, Qin Yue asked curiously.

Hearing this, Grover sighed and said, “Originally, Michael had planned to change the time.

But I don’t know who let Michael know that Charles would also come to meet you on that day, and the result was…”

"What about Charles Barkley?"

“Charles originally planned to change the time, but after knowing that Michael would meet you on that day, he immediately changed his mind.

Do you want to hear his exact words?" Grover asked.

Qin Yue nodded.

So, after taking a deep breath, Grover said to Qin Yue: "Charles said, keep that damn Michael Jordan away from his successor!"

At this moment, Qin Yue said with a sad face: "Based on your understanding of them, they shouldn't fight each other by then, right?"

After thinking it over in his mind, Grover shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."
