Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA

Chapter 99: Tyrant! (Single-day 11,000-word Update, Begging for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!) _3



Dale Curry asked curiously, "Do you really think so highly of him? But what are we betting on?"

Qin Yue revealed his true intentions, "If he really gets a chance to play in the NBA in the future, then during the draft, he can only try out for the Warriors."

Is this really a bet? This clearly looks like opening a backdoor for his incapable eldest son—at this moment, Dale Curry, not expecting that his own face could have such value, thought to himself.

So, after a pause, Dale Curry asked, "What if he can't make it to the NBA in the future, then what?"

Qin Yue smiled devilishly, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, I'll make sure Chris Mulin has him selected to the Warriors."

Indeed, a backdoor! But why is this brother Qin Yue giving so much face to a friend? Could this be what they call the descendants enjoying the shade of the trees planted by the predecessors?—Dale Curry thought, only a step away from having Stephen Curry come over to bow (acknowledge a godfather) to Qin Yue.

Of course, aside from betting, Qin Yue didn't forget to tend to business.

On the court, not only did he personally enjoy the fun of guiding "Nephew Curry," but also, in that one-on-one training session called a unilateral massacre by Durant, he almost shattered "Nephew Curry's" basketball dream several times with his post moves that drove Stephen Curry to despair.

As for Anthony, who was misunderstood by Qin Yue, he received unanimous praise from all the young players during numerous sessions on the camp's opening day.

"Brother, do you know when we technical players are the happiest?" Anthony asked, wrapping an arm around Qin Yue's shoulder.

Without waiting for Qin Yue to answer, Anthony quickly replied, "People like LeBron, who don't even understand how to dribble the ball, can't possibly get the satisfaction we feel passing on these advanced skills to the younger generation."

Recently, Anthony has been increasingly making fun of James.

Before the "Divine Selection Training Camp" started, upon learning Qin Yue planned to invite James, Anthony mocked, "You're inviting LeBron to the training camp? I don't get it, what can he teach those young players?"

Because of this, Qin Yue once considered sending Anthony off to Denver to help James, but... considering Anthony was the leading star of the Denver Nuggets at that time, Qin Yue could only say tearfully, "You have a point, Melo."

James' unorthodox style of play is impossible for others to learn.

In reality, in some sense, James is the most unique presence in the NBA.

Because apart from Zion, who's been bedridden, Qin Yue has never heard anyone else in the NBA plays like James.

This "Divine Selection Training Camp" funded by Qin Yue ran until September 27th.

Before the camp closed, many young players developed deep friendships with the much-respected mentor Anthony.

As for the Demon King Qin Yue, who either beat up this young fellow today or bullied that genius player?

"He's simply a demon! After every match with him, I'm all bruised up!"

"What's a physical injury? Do you know what nicknames he gave Kevin and Stephen?"

"What are they?"

"'Cupcake' and 'Showbiz Celebrity'."

"I get the cupcake part, saying Kevin's play style is too soft, but what does showbiz celebrity mean?"

"He said Stephen Curry shouldn't play basketball but should switch careers to become an idol. Because, just like those South Korean idols, he's too effeminate, only fit to be that 'brother' living in female fans' fantasies."

During this "Divine Selection Training Camp," Grover, who initially wanted to pave the way for Qin Yue, never expected Qin Yue would thrash every rising star until they cried for their parents.

So much so that on the camp's closing day, these rising stars even longed to band together and give him a proper beating.

"What you're doing... isn't it just like Michael back in the day?"

"Do you think my way of caring for young people is problematic?"

"No... but aren't you afraid they'll hate you?"

"Not afraid, because I'll keep bullying them till the world's end."

At this moment, observing the blazing fire in Qin Yue's eyes, Grover finally understood... why he always felt Qin Yue resembled Jordan.

Because just like Jordan, the minute he discovers a talented player, he's eager to beat them up, getting satisfaction and happiness that others can't comprehend.

He's an out-and-out tyrant.

His previously shown low profile and pragmatism were only because he hadn't yet gained the power to crush everything. In fact, in Qin Yue's sophomore year, Grover had faintly sensed that violent streak buried deep within him.

Now, after making significant strides this summer, he's bound to carry that violence to crush every talented player he sees, every superstar.

This will be this era's...

The entire basketball world's doomsday.

"And I... will be the dutiful aide helping this tyrant claim the throne!" At this moment, Grover felt exhilarated at the thought of having the chance to cultivate two basketball GOATs.

On September 29th, the Warriors' new season preseason training camp officially began.

On the camp's opening day, looking at Qin Yue's body, which was even more valiant and firm than last year, with powerful arms and muscle lines like those carved by a knife and axe, almost all the Warriors' players' gazes turned to him unanimously.

Head coach Mike Malone praised loudly, "This is the quality a great player should have."

However, with Malone's comment hinting at something deeper, Qin Yue immediately realized...

The Warriors' internal situation for the new season seemed less than optimistic.

In the summer, Baron Davis, who promised Malone to study the team's new tactics carefully...

Already showed signs of gaining weight.

As for the team's new tactics?

"Don't worry, I only need a week to understand those tactics." On the camp's opening day, Davis solemnly assured Malone.

Richardson, who usually fools around, turned out to be the least of Qin Yue's worries.

In the first practice session, Richardson proved he worked hard over the summer with his flawless three-point shooting.

Little Deng Liwei and Murphy were also in good shape.

Just...

As soon as the morning practice ended, newly joined Barnes and Artest got into an argument.

"You newly joined idiot, what gives you the right to criticize me?"

"Because you didn't follow the coach's instructions!"

During the morning practice, Barnes was already annoyed with Artest repeatedly ignoring the coach's instructions, opting for personal ball-handling aggressive plays.

Initially, he, as a new member, just gave Artest a simple reminder.

But who would've thought that Artest would blow up because of it.

To Artest, he was a heroic player who helped the Warriors win the championship, while Barnes was just a minimum-wage tool player without the right to criticize him.

"Make them both shut up!"

On the court, after signaling Brown and Biedrins respectively with his eyes, Qin Yue's expression immediately became gloomy at that moment.

Sure enough, every season in the NBA is a new beginning.

Especially after the Warriors became defending champions...
