What? The trainer is warming up.

Chapter 15: Team Up and Earn Points!

The competition has come to an end.

Team Red completed an incredible comeback, staging a remarkable turnaround after trailing by 28 points to defeat Team White in a stunning upset.

The audience was thrilled and excited by the match, and the name Qin Yu was etched in their memories, one they would likely never forget.

"Qin, you are a hero of Colonel Summers Park!"

"Today you are the savior!"

Teammates showered him with praise. Ellie, being the closest, reached out and linked arms with Qin Yu. Her ample breasts, with their amazing elasticity, rubbed against Qin Yu's arm, making him a little uncomfortable. But Ellie didn't care; her eyes were full of stars as she said, "Qin is the MVP!"

"Yes," Hank immediately chimed in, "Qin is the MVP! 33 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals—absolutely the MVP!"

When one person shouts "MVP," others follow suit.

Immediately, cheers spread from Qin Yu's side, and everyone in the stadium was chanting "MVP," the sound so loud that it echoed throughout Colonel Summers Park.

Some people taking a walk came over out of curiosity, asking what had happened and joining in the shouts. At the same time, they looked at Qin Yu with curiosity and whispered among themselves.

Without a doubt, Qin Yu became famous.

At least in Colonel Summers Park, he's already a celebrity!

After the celebration, the crowd gradually dispersed. Qin Yu turned his head but did not see any of the White Team members; they had all disappeared.

"These guys got away pretty fast." Qin Yu chuckled, not minding at all, and said to Hank and Ellie, "I should go too, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Ellie's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Qin, where do you work? Oh, right, I don't have your phone number yet, let's exchange them."

Seeing Ellie being so proactive, Hank covered his face with his hands, thinking to himself, "I don't have a sister like that." He pulled Ellie aside and gave Qin Yu a hug: "You're welcome to come and play anytime."

Qin Yu nodded, a thought suddenly occurring to him, and asked, "By the way, do you know of any other high-level community sports fields in this area, or rather, in the entire city of Portland?"

Ok?

The group raised their eyebrows, understanding Qin Yu's meaning.

Before the others could speak, Ellie's eyes lit up, and she said first, "I know, Lrving Park in the north, as well as Oregon Park and Alberta Park, are all good. There are lots of people playing, and the skill level is pretty good. Qin, are you thinking of going to challenge a court? Everyone else is playing 5v5, you can't do it alone. Why don't you team up with Hank and the others?"

The others immediately understood her little scheme.

However, Hank, Wells, and Taylor, who were all skilled players, wanted to bring Qin Yu into their teams, and immediately agreed.

Qin Yu also thought it was a good idea, and laughed, "Calling it a challenge is a bit of an exaggeration. I just want to have a friendly match with them. Since it's 5 vs 5, I really can't handle it alone. Hank, can I join your team?"

"Of course!" Hank laughed heartily, very happy. "Qin, welcome to the team. I'll introduce you to the others another day."

After a moment's thought, he added, "However, if you're looking for高手 (masters/experts) to play against, these community courts might not be enough. I suggest you check out the University of Portland and Portland State University. Both of their basketball teams are in the NCAA Division I conference. While they may not be as prestigious as North Carolina or Duke, they are still very strong. It's just that they don't usually play against teams from outside the university."

How could I have forgotten this?

Hank's reminder made Qin Yu immediately realize that he had been an NCAA player before and knew all too well the level of NCAA teams.

Especially the teams in the NCAA Division 1 conference (the NCAA is divided into three conferences: Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3, which have different levels and levels. The NCAA that everyone is familiar with, such as "March Madness," refers to the games in the NCAA Division 1 conference).

These NCAA players have received professional training for a long time and are incredibly talented and strong. The most outstanding ones are even comparable to ordinary NBA players.

A large portion of the players drafted by the NBA each year come from the NCAA.

"Wouldn't scoring against a great NCAA player be more rewarding than the points earned in a game like today's?"

Qin Yu was somewhat tempted, but as Hank said, these NCAA teams, considering the possibility of accidents and the tight training and schedule of the NCAA, usually do not play against teams from outside the NCAA.

This is indeed a problem.

But there's no rush.

Since they were going to form a team, they naturally had to exchange phone numbers. Qin Yu didn't mention where he worked, mainly because Ellie was too enthusiastic.

I'm afraid of being staked out!

Qin Yu doesn't have any issues with his orientation; he's just focused on improving his basketball skills and pursuing his dreams, and has no interest in dating.

......

In the following days, in addition to his duties as a trainer, Qin Yu spent his time with Hank and others visiting various community sports fields.

Oden's recovery is progressing well. Qin Yu didn't give him any more extra training, but after a few days, Oden can now easily make shots, and he can also do some low-intensity movements and jumps without any problems, which makes everyone on the Trail Blazers team feel a bit incredible.

Payne was overjoyed and called Qin Yu into his office to praise him, telling him that he would give him a raise right now—an annual salary of $8.

In the end, Payne casually asked Qin Yu about the specific principles and details of this "magical Eastern magic," but Qin Yu brushed him off.

Are you kidding me?

This is my biggest secret, the foundation of my life. Can I tell you?

Besides, telling you wouldn't help; do you even have a system?

Soon, news of Qin Yu's salary increase spread, and many people were discussing it. Rumors about him and Oden being friends still circulated, but more people had come to their senses and realized that Qin Yu's ability to stay with the team and receive a raise was definitely related to Oden's miraculous recovery speed.

Several injured players on the team were privately asking Oden about it, but Qin Yu had already told Oden to keep it a secret for the time being.

Firstly, Qin Yu didn't want to create any unnecessary complications before Oden's return.

Secondly, the system points are limited; there aren't enough for him and Oden, so how can he care about others?

The more Qin Yu and Oden kept it a secret, the more curious others became.

Especially Jayson Jensen.

Not only was he curious, but he also felt uneasy, with a strange sense of crisis. He always felt that the "yellow-skinned monkey" was up to no good and was probably coming for him.

But Oden wouldn't reveal anything, so he couldn't get any information. Plus, Payne had spoken, so for the time being, he was helpless against Qin Yu...

Qin Yu was well aware of the changes within the team, including the thoughts of players like Payne and Jason, but he didn't care and just followed the plan.

These past few days, he's been focusing mainly on earning points.

One-on-one duels with Oden became the norm, but as Oden recovered from his injury, it became increasingly difficult for Qin Yu to score points, and he ended up earning fewer and fewer points.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed.

This was expected. Qin Yu helped Oden not entirely to gain points from him, but for his own plan!

He didn't rack up many points against Oden, but fortunately, he teamed up with Hank and a few others these past few days, playing several games against people at several community courts in Portland. They won more games than they lost, so they gained quite a bit.

After a few days, Qin Yu had accumulated 28.5 points on the system panel—a speed that satisfied him.
