What? The trainer is warming up.

"To help ambitious young people realize their dreams!"

This is, of course, just the official statement!

In fact, what made Kevin Pritchard make the decision was what his secretary whispered in his ear, telling him that several teams were investigating Qin Yu.

What are they trying to do? Poach talent?

"Hmph, this is a valuable asset of the team, how can we let you poach it?" Kevin Pritchar thought to himself, and after a moment's consideration, he made his decision.

First, Qin Yu is very important to the team.

Secondly, Qin Yu's basketball skills seem to be really good; he would definitely be able to play in the Development League, his skill level is absolutely sufficient.

Third, if he doesn't agree, there's no guarantee that other teams won't use that as leverage to poach players; Roy, Batum, Outlaw, and others haven't recovered yet.

"alright."

Ignoring Payne and McMillan's expressions, Kevin Pritchard waved his hand and said, "It's decided. Payne, go and get ready. We need to do some good publicity; this is a great opportunity to build the team's image."

McMillan chimed in, "That's sportsmanship!"

"That's right!" Pritchard laughed. "A truly top-tier team never relies solely on its performance on the court. Sportsmanship is the core of a team's long-term success, its ability to unite its members, and its ability to earn respect. Our Trail Blazers team not only has competitive strength, but also sportsmanship."

"Boss is absolutely right." Payne flattered him at the right time, but he didn't really think so. Was it really just for the sake of "sportsmanship"?

Although I don't understand, he has one good point—he listens to his superiors, doesn't talk too much, and doesn't question!

That was settled. Soon Payne informed Qin Yu that the boss had agreed to his request and would make arrangements as soon as possible. However, he also needed Qin Yu's cooperation to help promote the team and carry forward the Trail Blazers' sportsmanship.

"Oh, no problem." Qin Yu readily agreed. You want fame, I want points, it's a win-win situation, great.

As Qin Yu left Payne's office, a wide grin spread across his face, and he laughed heartily.

Finally, I'm about to step onto the professional stage!

Although it's not the NBA, but just the Development League, it's still a professional league. It gives me another good way to earn points. Is the NBA far away?

......

Since we're going to play in the Development League, we need to further improve our strength.

Qin Yu returned to the training hall and began to work on his skills.

He earned 36 points from Batum and his teammates yesterday, and another 30 points from the one-on-one fight after training today. As he expected, it was less than the first day, but in total, he had a total of 66 points on the system panel.

"20 points will be used to treat old ailments, 20 points will be used to increase speed, and 20 points will be used to increase explosive power."

Qin Yu quickly made a decision.

His skills are already quite good, but his weakness is his physical condition. So if he wants to happily "farm points" in the Development League, he needs to improve his physical condition.

Qin Yu has actually been working hard on this, never slacking off in his daily physical training. Coupled with the gradual recovery of his old injury, he has improved considerably compared to a month ago.

System panel: Speed, D+!

Jump, D+!

Power, D+!

Explosiveness, D+!

All of them are D+, somewhere between professional and amateur players.

As Qin Yu added more points, a warm sun circulated within his body, and the numbers displayed on the system panel changed—Speed, C-level!

The first thing to change is speed!

Qin Yu had previously added points to his speed, and with the training and recovery from his old injury over this period, he has now added another 20 points, finally ushering in a transformation.

"C-level speed!"

Qin Yu felt extremely happy and overjoyed.

Now, with his C+ level ball control and C-level speed, his breakthrough ability will definitely be greatly improved—in this way, he can combine driving and shooting.

They waited and waited, but the explosive transformation never came.

This disappointed Qin Yu somewhat, but fortunately his right knee felt warm and he felt much more relaxed, indicating that his old injury had recovered somewhat.

Qin Yu estimated that with an additional 20 or 30 points, his old ailment would be fully cured.

"There are 6 points left." Qin Yu thought for a moment, "Forget it, I won't add them. I'll save them for Roy and the others tomorrow. I have to give them something."

......

The following day, the Trail Blazers announced that they would send their team trainer, Qin Yu, down to the Idaho Pentium team in the Development League for training!

The news caused an uproar.

"What?! Sending a trainer down to the G League for experience? I didn't mishear, did I? It really is a trainer, not a player?"

"Bro, you heard right, it's Qin Yu, the trainer who cured Oden!"

"Wang Defa, this guy's been making headlines lately. He's everywhere, practically dominating the Trail Blazers' news. Wait, what's with this trainer being sent down to the G League for experience? Can he even play in the G League?"

"We heard that becoming a professional player has always been his dream. The Trail Blazers said that young people with dreams deserve encouragement, so..."

"Dreams? Who the hell doesn't have dreams? I have dreams too! I want to win the lottery, win a hundred million dollars! Is there anyone who can help me make it come true?"

Some people were stunned, some were shocked, and some complained that the Trail Blazers players had lost their minds and were doing all sorts of nonsense.

Of course, some people were also moved by this inspirational story, believing that it embodies "sportsmanship" and "humanistic care," praising the Trail Blazers for their grand vision.

As for Qin Yu... can he really play in a professional league?

......

Salt Lake City, the Utah Jazz.

A detailed file on Qin Yu was placed on Jerry Sloan's desk. As he flipped through it, he nodded, secretly praising Phil Jensen for being reliable and efficient, having investigated this trainer Qin Yu thoroughly in just one day.

Just then, someone knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing Phil Jensen return, Jerry Sloan asked, "What's up? Is there something else?"

Phil Jensen gave a wry smile and said, "I just got some news. The Trail Blazers announced that they will send Qin Yu down to the Development League for experience."

Qin Yu?

Does the Trail Blazers have this player?

Jerry Sloan was taken aback, then realized what was happening and subconsciously looked at the documents in his hand. "Hey, what the hell? This guy's name is Qin Yu, isn't it?"

"You mean..." He looked up and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "The Trail Blazers are sending a trainer down to the G League for experience?"

"Yes...yes!" Phil Jensen was also completely bewildered and couldn't understand.

However, Jerry Sloan suddenly sneered and said, "What a clever move. The Trail Blazers' management has really pulled it off, immediately forging a deep connection with Qin Yu."

Upon hearing this, Phil Jensen suddenly understood.

Indeed, now Qin Yu is not only the Trail Blazers' chief trainer, but has also become a player for the Trail Blazers in effect. How can other teams poach him?

......

For the Jazz, if they can't poach him, they can't. At most, it will only affect their and the Trail Blazers' record rankings, but it won't affect their playoff spots.

But for the Hornets, the impact is much greater.

In his office, Hornets general manager Jeff Ball was furious and couldn't help but yell at Tim Floyd, calling him an idiot who couldn't do anything right.

"Fuck!"

"He was tasked with thoroughly investigating Qin Yu, but he couldn't even uncover such crucial information. If he had known earlier, and given Qin Yu a chance to play in the Development League, wouldn't we have been able to poach him? If he could get Paul back from injury sooner..."

Now that the Trail Blazers have helped Qin Yu realize his "dream of becoming a professional player," how could Qin Yu possibly leave?
