Chapter 38 Savage Growth (New book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

In the training hall, watching Jordan and Barkley who might fight at any time, Qin Yue always felt that these two people wanted to see him.
It would be better to say that he came here just to quarrel.

Although the friendship between Jordan and Barkley during this period had not yet sunk into the Atlantic Ocean due to Barkley's later criticism of the Bobcats, this day, due to a completely different view of Qin Yue's future.
"Come on, man, why is it that every time you see a 6-foot-9, shooting big man, you imagine him to be Larry Bird? Do you have some kind of paranoia? Do you need a therapist? Look, I happen to know a great therapist."

"Shut up, Charles, and stop showing off your pathetic basketball skills in front of me. You don't understand the way a winner thinks. You said Qin is a 6-foot-11 Charles Barkley. Then according to your logic, why don't you say Kobe Bryant is a miniature version of you?"

"You should shut up and think about Kwame Brown. What was your evaluation of him? I remember you said that although he was still young, he would definitely surpass Chris Webber in the future. Then what? I heard that you almost beat him to tears in training later?"

"First of all, I have to correct you. I didn't almost make him cry. I did make him cry. Secondly, Kwame and Qin are two completely different concepts. Qin is a player who has experienced college basketball. After seeing his own shortcomings, he decisively decided to continue to hone himself in college. In this respect, he is much more mature than Kwame."

"I agree with your point, but I still insist that Qin is a taller version of Charles Barkley."

"That's enough, Charles. Stop flattering yourself. Qin's game style, his offense, his defense, his skills. Can't you see that he is an athletically enhanced version of Larry Bird?"

"Sorry. I can't tell."

"That's right. If you could see that, you wouldn't be without even one ring."

"."

On the side, watching the noisy NBA legends, Qin Yue said helplessly: "According to what they said, should I go to the NBA to beat Shaquille O'Neal tomorrow?"

As Jordan and Barkley blew their own trumpets over the course of the debate.
At a certain moment, Qin Yue even thought that he should not practice here, but should go to talk to reporters to build momentum for his future as the GOAT of the NBA.

"Don't take their quarrel to heart. Charles and Michael are always like this. They will quarrel endlessly whenever they meet." Looking up at Qin Yue, Grover said as if he was used to it.

"When will they end this endless argument?" Qin Yue asked.

"I feel like it's coming because after Michael pulled out the ring, you see, Charles was deflated," Grover said, pointing to Barkley, who was suddenly listless on the training ground.

I'm no match for that bastard Jordan in basketball.

I can't even win an argument against that scumbag Jordan.

Although it is hard to admit it, this is indeed a portrayal of Charles Barkley's life.

At this moment, Barkley was getting angrier and angrier as he looked at his successor who was about to be snatched away by Jordan.
Anyway, today, he just didn't want to give in to Jordan.

"You're right, Michael, but you seem to have forgotten that guy has always been proud to be my successor." On the training ground, after cheering up again, Barkley said to Jordan.

Hearing this, it was Jordan's turn to be speechless.

And at the same time.
The prompt sound of the [Mountain Top] system suddenly came into Qin Yue's mind.

"The hidden mission [Qin Yue's Double Life] is now available for preview.

There are three completion routes for this quest, namely the Charles Barkley quest line, the Michael Jordan quest line, and the perfect quest line.

Note that since the rewards after completing the first two quest lines are different, if the host chooses the Charles Barkley line, he will not be able to obtain the Michael Jordan quest line rewards.

If the host wants to obtain the rewards of both the Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan line missions, he must accept this mission through the perfect mission line.

In addition, if the host chooses the perfect quest line to accept the quest, the difficulty of completing this quest will automatically be upgraded to nightmare.

Please choose the task line according to your own needs and capabilities.

Finally, this mission can only be started after the host enters NBA. "

Good man, you two are arguing here and you've created a hidden task for me, right?

At this moment, looking at this hidden task called [Qin Yue's Double Life]
Qin Yue suddenly felt
Although the argument between Jordan and Barkley did seriously interfere with his training today, it doesn't seem like a bad thing for the two of them to continue arguing like this if possible?
About two hours after the argument, Jordan and Barkley suspended the "friendly" discussion about Qin Yue's future.

Of course, the reason for the suspension of discussion was not because Jordan and Barkley had a result.
It's just because they are tired and need to rest for a while.

"We'll never get anywhere if we keep arguing like this, so Michael, let's make a bet!"

"Uh-huh!?"

bet?

In the training hall, Jordan suddenly became alert after Barkley touched his always sensitive nerve.

"What kind of bet?"

"Since Larry Bird is the founder of the NBA'180 Club, let's bet on whether this kid can enter the '180 Club' in the NCAA next season." (Note ①)

"Hey, Charles Qin plays for the ACC. This betting method is unfair."

"I also think your proposal is reasonable, so we can definitely lower our requirements."

“How to lower it?”

"We don't need to require Qin's hit rate to reach a specific value. Instead, as long as the sum of the three main hit rates exceeds 165, you will win. How about that?"

Unlike the "180" club, which has a rigid requirement that a certain hit rate must reach a certain level, it only requires that the sum of Qin Yue's overall shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage must exceed 165 in the end to win?
With a slight smile on his face, Jordan seemed to have turned back into the close friend he once was with Barkley. He held the ball in one hand and said to Barkley, "Tell me, what will be the punishment for the loser of the bet?"

Hearing this, Barkley pushed away Jordan's hand that was wantonly ravaging his chest and said, "If I win, no matter what you think in the future, you have to admit that this kid is a taller version of me in front of me." (Note ②)

Jordan spread his hands and said, "If I win, you must admit in front of me that he is the most ideal successor to Larry Bird?"

Buckley nodded.

Then, at the moment when the two of them reached a bet
"The hidden mission [Betting on Qin and Yue] has been triggered. [Betting on Qin and Yue]: Since their playing days, Barkley and Jordan have been a pair of happy enemies.

And now, in order to end this argument about you, they are betting on you.
Mission completion condition 04: The host's three main hit rates in the 05/165 regular season add up to more than .

Task completion condition 2: Failure to meet condition 1.

If the host meets the first condition for completing the task, the reward for this task will be: a legendary random technical attribute potential gift package.

If the host meets the second condition of mission completion, the reward for this mission is: a legendary random physical attribute potential gift pack. "

Argue, argue, just argue! Argue until my potential is fully developed, and my talent is constantly upgraded. At worst, I will thank you two a few more times when I become the GOAT of the basketball world!
"Others improve their talents through genetic mutations, but I improve my talents through quarrels with seniors?"

At this moment, looking at Jordan and Barkley who finally calmed down, Qin Yue thought to himself with a helpless look on his face.

……

In June, this meeting with Jordan and Barkley did not disrupt Qin Yue's subsequent training arrangements.

Originally, Barkley wanted to use his personal connections to get Qin Yue to participate in some high-level streetball games this summer so that he could accumulate more practical experience.

But Jordan disagreed and said: "He doesn't need to go anywhere now. I believe in Tim and his team."

Seeing this, Barkley did not refute.

Because Barkley had seen the training content that Grover had set for Qin Yue.

In Barkley's eyes, Grover was training Qin Yue like an NBA star player.

Therefore, Barkley himself was not sure whether the so-called street ball practice could be as effective as the training plan that Grover had formulated for Qin Yue.

But Barkley is sure that if Qin Yue can maintain the current training progress.
"Then next season in the NCAA he will definitely completely purge all his opponents, and no one will be able to escape."

Time flies and it is July.

After successfully completing the new stage of special training this month, Qin Yue's dribbling ability value has increased to 70, becoming another attribute after agility that meets the ten requirements of the task "The Dream That Has Not Yet Extinguished".

During the special training period, Qin Yue's dribbling potential value also increased to 76.

During training, Professor Grover gave Qin Yue many methods to improve his sense of the ball.

For example, the two-handed ball-bouncing technique that Kobe once disliked.

But even so, Qin Yue's evolution speed exceeded Grover's expectations.

Grover is well aware that dribbling, as a crucial basic skill in basketball games, not only requires daily accumulation, but it is also a skill that relies heavily on talent.

It was only during the special training that Qin Yue's flexibility, coordination and stability when holding the ball broke through their respective bottlenecks.
So he can naturally make breakthroughs on the dribble one after another.

And this is obviously not something that a future player named Klay Thompson can learn.

In addition, in July, which was soaked in sweat, Qin Yue's strength ability value also became the third attribute to meet the ten requirements of the task "The Dream That Has Not Yet Extinguished".

At this moment, his strength ability value has reached 85 in the visualization data of the [Mountain Top] system.

On the court, when Qin Yue broke through, Grover's most intuitive feeling about him was:
He is literally a human tank.

Then, Qin Yue's jumping attribute also reached the requirements of the task "The Dream That Has Not Yet Extinguished" after July.

In the training hall, looking at Qin Yue's height of 6 feet 11 inches after wearing shoes and his wingspan of 7 feet 6 inches, coupled with his current bounce.
If this is said, both Jordan and Barkley might be unhappy.

But in Grover's opinion.
Qin Yue currently looks like the child of Jordan and Barkley in terms of dynamic and static talents.

He can fly freely with his muscles made of steel and iron.

When he rushes on the court, he is unstoppable.

Even when shooting jump shots, he has extremely terrifying core and back strength.

As time entered August, Qin Yue's other attributes continued to meet the requirements of the task "The Dream That Has Not Been Extinguished"
Looking at Qin Yue, whose potential seems to be endless
Looking at Qin Yue who was pushing himself forward with amazing willpower.
As they spent time together day after day, Grover became convinced.

Qin Yue must be the child that Jordan and Barkley secretly gave birth to!
Last year, Qin Yue, who had initially activated his dynamic talent, was like a beast in the eyes of Mr. Prosser.

And this year.
In Tim Grover's view, he has quietly unleashed a beast on American college basketball.

"He kept pushing himself forward with amazing willpower. He understood his desires and was able to harness them. I would like to use the following words to express my respect for Qin Yue and to warn future generations: The passive try to fight against their inner desires and end up failing. The controllers understand their inner desires but cannot control themselves. The rulers harness their inner desires and transform them into powerful energy." - Tim S. Grover, "Savage Evolution", Chapter 2: The Savage Growth That Summer.

Note ①: As we all know, the "180 Club" requires that a player's overall shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, and free throw percentage add up to 180.

But there are strict requirements. For example, only when the three shooting percentages reach 50%, 40% and 90% respectively, can you get a ticket to the 180 club. That is to say, even if the sum of the three is 180, but if your three-point shooting percentage is only 39%, you are not eligible.

In addition, the 180 club also requires at least 300 shots, 82 three-pointers (starting from the 13/14 season) and 125 free throws in a single season. (These regulations are to prevent people from using bugs to gain this achievement. For example, if someone enters the 180 club after playing only one game, and then does not play again, wouldn't that lower the value of the 180 club?)

Note ②: I don’t mean to write this here, but you can search the interview video of Jordan and Barkley, and you will see that Jordan was holding the "ball" with one hand and talking like this.
