What? The trainer is warming up.

Fulton Park Community Center!

This is a community center located in the southwest of Portland. It was built in the 1940s and has a history of several decades. It has an indoor basketball court and can also be used for various purposes such as birthday parties, community events, and volleyball games.

Qin Yu and a group of people arrived here.

Because I had called ahead, a young man with dyed yellow hair and wearing a baseball cap greeted me at the door, looking rather sleazy.

"Follow me!" the blond-haired man called to the group and led the way.

This indoor court charges an entrance fee, but since Qin Yu and his team were the visiting team, they naturally couldn't ask them to pay. Stepping into the arena, they found it brightly lit, with a brand-new floor that had clearly been recently renovated; even the feel of it underfoot was different.

Qin Yu nodded secretly; it was pretty good.

A group of home team players had already arrived, and the sidelines were also crowded with spectators.

Upon seeing Qin Yu and his group arrive, everyone looked on with curiosity, their gazes all focused on Qin Yu—he was a celebrity now!

"That guy is Qin Yu, the Trail Blazers' head trainer, the miracle doctor who helped Oden return to the game early. He doesn't seem like anything special!"

"Dude, you're behind the times! He has another identity now: a player for the Idaho Benedic League's Development League team!"

"watt?"

"You heard right, he's not just a trainer, he's a professional player."

"Fuck! I told you this guy was definitely not an amateur player!"

Some people had fought against Qin Yu and his group, including the "Fat and Thin Monk" they encountered at Colonel Summers Park.

Upon hearing that Qin Yu had actually become a player for the Idaho Bentleys, Skinny Monk No. 52 slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "He deserved to lose!"

But you're a professional player, going to be Hank's substitute, don't you think that's a huge loss of face?

Have you no shame?

Qin Yu also noticed the two guys, but he was a little disappointed not to see Xiao Rizi by the field. But then he thought that even if Xiao Rizi came to the competition today, he probably wouldn't be able to play, and he probably wouldn't have a chance to deal with him.

Living a simple, ordinary life can be addictive!

Of course, I'm not referring to doujinshi girls!

......

The match started quickly.

The home team this time is a combination of top players from several community golf courses, including "Fat and Skinny Monks," but they can only play as substitutes.

Several home team players came onto the field. The shortest of them was over 1.9 meters tall, and the tallest of them was over 2 meters tall. He was also very strong. Wells couldn't help but swallow hard and felt a little uneasy. How was he supposed to match up against them?

"It seems this game won't be easy to win today." Qin Yu chuckled, showing no fear whatsoever.

Times change!

What level was he at when he was at Colonel Summers Park, and what level is he at now? He has improved by more than just a little bit.

"Snapped!"

First, it was a jump ball game.

The home team's center is named Victor, a strong white man who is 208cm tall. In a professional game, he would be nothing special, but in this amateur game, he is like an iron tower.

Standing under the basket, he was an impenetrable wall. Wells was outmatched in his jump and failed to reach the ball.

Viktor swung his racket towards the backcourt.

Just as defender Bryce was about to control the ball, a figure flashed by.

"not good!"

"It was intercepted! It was Qin Yu!"

A gasp rippled through the audience.

Qin Yu had already anticipated that Wells would lose the jump ball and that Victor would swing the ball at Bryce. As the two centers jumped, he started moving, leaving the person sticking to him, and rushed out to steal the ball.

"Damn it, time to defend!"

The home team players quickly retreated to defend, but the position was too close to their basket. Qin Yu dribbled the ball twice and took three big steps, making a light layup.

Take the first two points!

"So easy!"

"This is the level of a trainer, no, this is the level of a professional player. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary amateur players. Their judgment and speed are far superior."

Some viewers were discussing it, praising it highly.

The fat and thin monks exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised. The speed Qin Yu had just displayed seemed to be much faster than when they were at Colonel Summers Park.

......

on the field.

The score is 2-0, with the away team in the lead.

The home team players looked rather grim. They had just been dispossessed by the opponent who scored early on, making them look bad and eager to retaliate.

Upon reaching the frontcourt, Bryce was met with a flash of movement—when he realized it was Qin Yu coming up to defend him, he felt a shiver run down his spine, but still opted for a one-on-one attack.

The two had faced off before. In that game, Qin Yu scored 35 points, while Bryce scored 31 points. He felt that although he was not as good as Qin Yu, he was not far behind.

Let's take him down!

Bryce first dribbled between his legs, switching the ball to his left hand, as if to change direction, his shoulder also swinging. But suddenly he twisted his wrist, the change of direction stopped abruptly, and he continued to accelerate to the left.

It happened very suddenly, and Bryce was very fast; an ordinary person would have been beaten.

But Qin Yu had already seen through his intentions. With his S-level basketball IQ and experience from two lifetimes, Bryce's feint was nothing more than a child's trick in his eyes.

"Snapped!"

With another crisp sound, Bryce felt his hand go empty and involuntarily cried out, "Oh no!" He knew he had been dispossessed.

It's Qin Yu again!

This time it was Qin Yu's steal again, and another fast break. His amazing speed left the home team players far behind, and they could only stare in disbelief.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Yu scored another layup.

This kind of game is too easy for him now. He's too lazy to waste his energy on dunking, since it's just a matter of getting two points anyway.

The game had only been going on for less than a minute, and Qin Yu had already scored 4 points, plus two steals, which silenced the audience.

Some people had seen Qin Yu play before, while others were seeing him play for the first time, but they were aware of the strength of players like Victor and Bryce.

However, these "experts" in their eyes were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in front of Qin Yu.

It’s too shocking!

......

Before we knew it, the first half was halfway over.

At this point, the score was 18-14, with the away team leading by 4 points.

The point difference wasn't large, but the key point was that Qin Yu scored 12 of the away team's 18 points, with fast breaks, mid-range shots, and three-pointers coming out of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, Qin is in really good shape today."

"Why do I feel like his skills have gotten even stronger? His shooting is more consistent, and he's faster too!"

"Qin has already scored 12 points in just half a quarter, and he's poised to hit 40 today. Guys, give him more screens and pick-and-rolls later..."

The visiting team players were in high spirits. They didn't care about any "elite team" as long as Qin Yu was there, they were not afraid of anything!

Listening to his teammates' discussion, Qin Yu curled his lip: "40 points? I can only say... you guys are narrow-minded!"
