Chapter 45 When the whole alliance is crazy about him (new book, please collect monthly tickets and recommend tickets!)

In the second half of the game, facing Qin Yue's repeated torture.
Bogut turned into a nagging woman, and his behavior of spreading his hands at his teammates, growling, and complaining to the referee completely made Qin Yue lose interest in him.

It turns out that Bogut tonight perfectly fits Qin Yue's stereotype of him.

He is arrogant but bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Once he meets those real tough guys on the court, Bogut will use his actual actions to tell you that he is a coward who doesn't deserve to have balls.

Historically, the reason why Bogut became the No. 2005 pick in the NBA in was because of his extremely deceptive performance in the Athens Olympics and his sophomore career.
The main reason is that the new generation of centers in American college basketball during this period either did not come out or, like Horford and Noah, still needed time to level up.

There are no tigers in Australia, so kangaroos are the kings - in Qin Yue's eyes, this sentence is definitely the most true portrayal of Bogut before he ran for the election in 2005.

Tonight, all NBA general managers have to thank Qin Yue.

Because if Qin Yue had not personally demonstrated Bogut's water content to the world in this challenge, I'm afraid Bogut would continue to deceive people with the title of "White Duncan".

"As a top center produced by the NCAA at the same time, even though his career did not meet expectations after entering the NBA due to back injuries, Emeka Okafor has at least demonstrated his low-post skills and defense in the NBA.

But what about Andrew Bogut? In his 14-year career, where he always deliberately injured his opponents, the No. 10 pick's career total score is even more than 500 points less than Okafor, who only played in the NBA for years. "

On the court, before being replaced by Mr. Prosser, Bogut still wanted to use the last 3 minutes to stay on the court to brush up his stats.
Qin Yue always felt that this public challenge initiated by Bogut had become a big stain on his future career.

In order to wash away this shame, Qin Yue, who scored a total of 37 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists, 7 blocks and 2 steals, said in an interview after the game: "I like the atmosphere of American college basketball, because here you can promote each other's progress by challenging each other.

But at this point, I have to say, please stop hyping me up with Andrew Bogut and the like, because it will only lower people's opinion of me and misjudge my current strength."

Hearing this, American reporters, who always like to pursue specific and accurate answers in interviews, asked one after another: "Are you saying that Andrew Bogut is not worthy of being your opponent?"

Qin Yue nodded and said, “I never regarded him as my opponent.”

"So who do you think is your opponent in today's college basketball?"

"Myself."

"You mean, you have no rivals in college basketball now, right?"

At this moment, looking at this group of reporters who were trying to lure him in step by step and make him say the next sentence, Qin Yue smiled and changed the subject: "Our generation grew up watching Michael Jordan play basketball. Michael has a famous saying: taking one step at a time is the only way to success.

Now, I am eager to make progress every day by defeating myself yesterday. I keep my feet on the ground and never waver in my determination. I believe that one day, I will be able to become a better self by constantly defeating myself. "

Before traveling through time, Qin Yue had watched "Yes, Prime Minister" countless times, and he knew very well how to respond to media inquiries at times like this.

After all, he was a huge fan of Jim Hack.

That night, Qin Yue's answer not only made people feel his confidence, but also made the reporters present feel his maturity that was completely inconsistent with his age.

As for Andrew Bogut?
The next day, in ESPN's updated 2005 draft predictions, Bogut dropped out of the top ten.

Perhaps, Bogut will still have time and opportunity to refresh his draft ranking next year.

But after the battle with Qin Yue, there is definitely no NBA team in this life that will give Bogut enough patience and ball possession in the early stage of his career, as Qin Yue remembered, and wait for him to grow up.

This is the most cruel and ruthless side of the NBA.

Except for those players who are selected as core players, most young players cannot predict whether they can survive in the NBA when they step into the door of the NBA.

Yes, in the long history of the NBA, it has gradually formed a model of survival of the fittest through continuous trial and error and failure cases.

This model is cruel, but it ensures the competitiveness of the NBA.

……

68:109.

After Wake Forest, ranked first in the United States, once again proved its value as the number one team in the United States through challenge games with other leagues, Qin Yue's unforgettable dominance in the game once again made people curious about his future.

The only difference from a month ago is
People are now curious about which team will regard this omnipotent beast in the college arena as the savior next year?
Chris Mullin, who returned to Oakland, had made up his mind and methodically launched a tanking plan codenamed "Overlord".

Overlord, this is exactly the nickname given to Qin Yue by the Chinese media.

Therefore, the Warriors' intention behind this "overlord action" is obvious.

Billy Knight, who returned to Atlanta, played the off-court card.

In an interview, the general manager of the Hawks said that since every team in the league has an obligation to promote the NBA in China,
Since the West already has Yao Ming, the East also needs a superstar from China.

"Atlanta has a superior geographical advantage and good infrastructure. In addition, there are a large number of Chinese companies in Atlanta."

However, after Knight's interview was published.
If you don’t know, you might think he was representing the mayor of Atlanta to showcase Atlanta’s investment environment to Chinese investors.

Compared to Atlanta, which can play the card of location advantage, Milwaukee chose to play the victim to complain to the world.

"Milwaukee has been in decline for many years and we need a savior to save this place."

Although Bucks General Manager Larry Harris did not mention Qin Yue's name during the interview, as long as he is not an idiot.
Everyone knows how much the Bucks want to draft Qin Yue next year.

"I know the team is not doing well recently, but I still hope the fans can be patient with us. After all, Rome was not built in a day."

This is different from two months ago when fans would hold up banners and curse at the team every day.

As Qin Yue gradually conquered all the scouts and fans, Trail Blazers general manager John Nash not only hinted to the fans that the team would be more confident in the new season, but he could even gain the support of many Trail Blazers fans at this moment.

That day, after returning to the City of Angels Los Angeles from Winston-Salem, Kupchak found that the faces he had seen that night were all in action.

At this moment, the entire NBA gave him the feeling.
It seems as if he has fallen into some kind of madness.

But Kupchak is not surprised by the madness.

Because no matter who it is, after seeing what Qin Yue did in college, Kupchak believes they will all fall into the same madness. He is the Chinese son that Nike is carefully creating.

His past experiences have determined that he is mentally tougher than his peers.

On the court, his static talent is already attractive, and he has also undergone an all-round evolution this past summer.

He can dribble on the court with an incredibly low center of gravity, and then jump up smoothly and effortlessly the next second.

He is a heavy tank that can reach the speed of an F1 supercar on the field.

He is also a raptor fighter jet that can take off at any time to help the team gain air superiority.

Kupchak knows very well that the Lakers now have an answer that can solve all their problems.

"He is not like other rookies who need to be polished before they can be put into the battlefield. Once he enters the NBA, he will immediately become a reliable star player."

A player who has both immediate combat effectiveness and great commercial value.

In Kupchak's view, as long as the Lakers can get Qin Yue at all costs, the Lakers' revival will no longer be a false proposition, but is just around the corner.

But after nearly half an hour of intracranial climax, Kupchak began to become frustrated like a deflated ball.

In December 2004, with the constant pressure from the media, Kobe, who had completely shut himself off from the world, was now looking forward to winning one game after another to change people's perception of him.

In fact, even Kupchak was unable to communicate normally with Kobe during this period.

It might sound a little despairing to say it out loud.
Currently, the only bridge that can help the Lakers communicate with Kobe is
It's Lamar Odom.

Moreover, the greater the pressure from the media, the more inhuman Kobe will become.

Not long ago, Kobe had conveyed to the Lakers' top management through Odom that he would never accept an interview with Shelly Smith again.

The reason is that Shelly Smith asked Kobe two questions when she interviewed him before.

The first question, Shelly asked, was whether Kobe believed he could still gain the trust of his teammates.

To this question, Kobe replied nonchalantly: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Then, Shelly threw her second question to Kobe, "Because the police mentioned in the report that you betrayed Shaquille O'Neal in the investigation, many people in the league are dissatisfied with this and feel that you broke the rules."

At that moment, before Shelly could finish her words, Kobe interrupted the interview.

Because he knew very well what Shelly Smith was going to ask him next.

Yes, ever since Kobe's statement "Shaq did it too" was exposed by the media, Kobe has become the loneliest one even in the Lakers.

When he walks onto the team bus and into the team locker room, his teammates often choose to shut up at the first moment.

After all, no one wants to be the person Kobe calls "did it" in the future.

He closed himself off, refused to communicate, was isolated by his teammates, and was attacked by the media.
Facing Kobe at this moment, Kupchak knew very well that he could never convince him to give up the regular season and play badly with the team to welcome the arrival of the savior.

Kupchak also has no idea whether the Lakers can get the No. 1 pick if they play badly.

"However, if we can get a higher pick and are willing to trade Lamar Odom and Caron Butler, as well as the team's future draft picks and accept the other side's junk contract."

That day, a sudden flash of inspiration came to my mind.
Kupchak thought it was necessary for him to meet with Jerry Buss next.

At the same time, in December, Qin Yue, who felt that the fire he had ignited in the NBA was not burning hot enough, once again poured a bucket of hot oil on the home court of the North Carolina Tar Heels.

This year, the Tar Heels, who have assembled their four young stars, were ranked second in the nation before the game began.

As a focus battle, this game was filled with tension from the beginning.

Even in the first half, Paul lost control of his emotions because fans kept taunting him with his deceased grandfather.
A conflict also broke out at the Tar Heels' home field.

In the next rebounding, Paul, who had completely lost his mind at the time, punched North Carolina player Julius Hodge in the groin.
Then, the entire stadium fell into chaos.

Although the referee on duty immediately pulled back the emotional players from both teams, and although Paul's punch to Hodge's groin was justified, after reviewing the video, Paul was unanimously ruled to be ejected from the game by the three referees.

In Qin Yue's previous life, Paul's famous "cannon punch" should have been thrown at Hodge two months later.

If Qin Yue remembered correctly, this "cannon punch" would not only cause Paul to be suspended for one game, but also make him miss an important game in the ACC League playoffs.
At the same time, this "cannon punch" will cause Paul to be criticized for a long time to come.

In this life, since the start of the new season, the Tar Heels, who are also aiming to win the NCAA championship, have been suppressed by Wake Forest.
So this also led to the situation that when Wake Forest and North Carolina met in December of that year, North Carolina fans were determined to influence the performance of the Demon Deacons' core players on the court at all costs.

North Carolina fans know very well that compared to Qin Yue, who has always been as unshakable as a mountain
Paul was certainly someone they could provoke with provocation.

As it turned out, North Carolina fans succeeded.

Because no matter what the reason, Paul's "fist" caused him to be ejected from the court.

But when Paul was ejected from the court, North Carolina fans obviously did not notice the change in Qin Yue's expression.

Unlike other NBA stars who are ridiculed as "superstars", either they have no father or lack family affection in their childhood.
Qin Yue knew very well that Paul's grandfather had played a very important role in his growth.

So, although Qin Yue also believed that Paul should not punch the North Carolina players in extreme anger.

But since Paul still threw this "cannon punch".
Then next
"Give me all the balls, I want this to become the quietest library in all of North Carolina!" On the bench, before the game resumed, after glancing at his teammates, Qin Yue said murderously.
