What? The trainer is warming up.

Chapter 46 Belongs to Qin Yu's Fans!

Boise!

Since Qin Yu won't be staying here indefinitely, he's not considering buying or renting a house here, and the team has arranged a hotel for him.

After the game, phone calls started coming in one after another. They came from Trail Blazers players like Oden, Batum, and Roy; his own subordinate, strength and conditioning coach Green; and friends like Ellie, Hank, and Wells. To Qin Yu's surprise, even his landlord called.

However, the rent is going up!

"Damn it, this guy ruined my good mood."

After hanging up the phone with the landlord, Qin Yu couldn't help but curse.

This son of a bitch kept urging me to pay the rent every few days, afraid that I couldn't afford it.

Now that things are looking up for me, he immediately changed his attitude. Every time we meet, he's all smiles and bows, and he doesn't nag me about paying rent anymore. I thought he'd finally had a change of heart, but it turns out he was planning something big. He's raising the price of that run-down one-bedroom apartment by 230%.

That's fucking shady!

However, he was being delusional. With Qin Yu's current financial situation, although he wasn't extremely wealthy, he felt he was doing himself a disservice if he continued to live in that shabby apartment.

We've all time-traveled, are we here to suffer?

"Greg..."

Feeling increasingly annoyed, Qin Yu called Auden directly and told him that he might need to stay at his house for a while.

He didn't plan to go back to that run-down apartment. He would rent a place later and mooch off Oden's place until he settled on a new place.

Oden readily agreed, saying that Qin Yu could stay as long as he wanted.

With things settled, Qin Yu felt much better and began to review today's game: "39 points, haha, I didn't expect to score so many points. The main reason is that my old injury has fully recovered, and my body has finally reached its best condition. In addition, by constantly increasing my speed, I can more easily get rid of the defense on the court. Whether it's cutting to receive the ball and shooting or making a cut, I can do it more easily."

"And another very important point is that my touch was just too good today."

It's hard to say what the feel is like.

Just like an NBA player, who might only average a dozen points per game in a season, but in a particular game he might have a hot streak and score 30+ points, which wouldn't be surprising.

Qin Yu was on fire today, barely touching the ball and mostly playing off-ball. Every shot he took felt incredibly smooth and comfortable.

Of course, the team's ability to hit that go-ahead three-pointer and win was also partly due to their speed improving to C+!

"My overall ability is now probably at a C+ level!"

Qin Yu secretly assessed the situation and was very excited, feeling that he was one step closer to the NBA.

Of course, he still needs to work harder and needs more points.

Looking at the points column, the number was a pitiful 1.5!

"Unfortunately, the Benteng team's next match is the day after tomorrow." Qin Yu is now eager to participate in the match and earn points.

The Development League was like a gold mine for him. He didn't need to leave the United States, lose his position as the Trail Blazers' head trainer, give up this springboard, and could earn points and improve his skills at a very fast pace.

He only earned 19.5 points in today's game, which seems to be less than what he earned in his first one-on-one match against Roy and Batum.

However, it's important to know that one-on-one fights with Roy and Batum are unpredictable; the rewards will gradually decrease over time and eventually drop to zero.

While he may not be able to score 39 points in every game in the Development League, his gains will be sustainable.

Another point is that although the Pentium team's games are not as frequent as those in the NBA, they still have quite a few, with 50 regular season games in a season alone.

On average, that's 3 games a week!

Qin Yu is confident that he can average 20+ points per game, which means he can earn at least 10 points per game on average.

With three games a week, you can easily earn 30-40 points!

Furthermore, as he plays more matches and accumulates more points, his strength will improve, allowing him to perform better in subsequent matches, earn more points, and create a "compound effect" where his gains will become increasingly greater.

"There are no matches tomorrow, but there is training. I can try to see if I can have a one-on-one match with Taylor and Carl." Qin Yu didn't plan to rest for even a day.

Sigh, I never thought that even with a system, I'd still be a beast of burden!

......

Jeff Chen is a 25-year-old Chinese expatriate who lives in Boise. He loves basketball but only watches the NBA. He did follow Patty Mills for a while when he was demoted to the Bentons.

Later, Mills was recalled by the Trail Blazers, and he stopped paying attention to the Blazers.

But when he woke up today, everyone around him was talking about the game between the Pentium team and the Energy team last night—and what surprised him even more was that the focus of their discussion was a Chinese man named Qin Yu, the chief trainer of the Trail Blazers.

"This trainer is dabbling in other fields too?"

Jeff Chen's first reaction was the same as Payne's: bewilderment, followed by an overwhelming curiosity.

When he searched for news online and learned how Qin Yu went from a novice trainer to the chief trainer, and then looked at the data from last night's game, he could only ask, "How can someone be so awesome?"

"This is awesome, this is amazing!" Jeff Chen was incredibly excited, feeling his blood boiling. "People like this are the pride of us Chinese."

Although he is an overseas Chinese and has always lived abroad, influenced by his parents, he has not forgotten his identity like other overseas Chinese who forget their roots. He always remembers his place of belonging, which, in his parents' words, is their root!

Seeing Qin Yu's rise to power right now is like getting a shot of adrenaline; it's exciting, exhilarating, and makes me feel proud.

"Qin Yu's story, his name, should be known by more people."

Jeff Chen took action, posting on various Chinese forums and international student forums, vividly recounting Qin Yu's inspirational story.

Soon, many people replied.

Some people had heard of Qin Yu before because of Oden's comeback, but they hadn't paid much attention to it.

After all, even Trail Blazers fans are more interested in the team's players than in a trainer.

There were also some people who had never even heard of Qin Yu.

Upon seeing Jeff Chen's post, they were initially skeptical, but after learning more about it, they became amazed and filled with curiosity.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu's exposure in the news media was too short, and he participated in too few professional league matches, so people could only find limited information about him.

However, this was enough to win him many fans, especially overseas Chinese, many of whom, like Jeff Chen, became his supporters.

Qin Yu has finally gained his own fans as a professional player!
