Ten days later, in the third week of the weight loss plan, Qin Yue finally successfully completed the first phase of his weight loss mission and earned the phased reward provided by the system as he wished.
In this fifteen-day first phase of the weight loss journey, if it weren't for ensuring protein intake and adjusting the diet from the second week, with Qin Yue's perseverance, he could have completed this phase of the weight loss goal even faster.
After all, the rate of weight loss for people with significant excess weight in the initial phase of losing weight is incomparable to that of average individuals.
"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the first phase of the weight loss challenge.
The injury monitoring bar used to track injuries during the host's weight loss has been activated.
The second phase of the weight loss challenge is now open.
The rewards for the second phase are as follows: Upon successfully unlocking the Mountain Peak System, the host's future agility potential increases by 4, jumping potential by 2, and speed potential by 2.
Additionally, upon completing the second phased reward, the system will unlock a Nutritional Supplement that is only effective during the weight loss period for the host.
The host can exchange one bottle per day during the weight loss period to prevent muscle loss."
In the dorm, looking at the rewards content after completing the second phase of weight loss on the system panel...
Qin Yue immediately gasped in shock!
It is well-known that, due to limited human absorption, it is generally challenging to avoid muscle loss during weight loss, regardless of supplementation.
In his previous life, Qin Yue had heard the story of the NBA's famous motivational figure, Udonis Haslem.
In the summer of 2002, due to being ignored after graduating from university, Haslem once gave up on himself, leading to drastic weight gain.
Later, to return to normal body shape, Haslem spent several months losing a full 30 kilograms of weight and then took an entire summer to rebuild his muscular physique.
Recalling this weight loss experience, Haslem, speaking from experience, said: "Due to losing a significant amount of muscle during weight loss, I had to work much harder and sweat more to regain myself afterwards."
At this moment, forcefully suppressing the heart that might jump out of his chest at any moment, Qin Yue believed no one could understand the terror of this Nutritional Supplement provided by the system better than he could!
Well played, Mountain Peak System!
Starting to gear up technology, huh?
In Qin Yue's view, this Nutritional Supplement not only allows him to create a calorie deficit more recklessly, but it also fully ensures his combat power after weight loss.
In simple terms, you can understand this system-provided reward as a cheat-like acceleration button, which will greatly speed up Qin Yue's challenge toward the NBA.
Though in his previous life, when playing games, Qin Yue disliked cheating and hacking...
But that doesn't mean Qin Yue would choose to bypass a shortcut if it really appeared in reality.
Moreover, let's be real, are all those NBA superstars really all-natural, without any additives?
Wake up, entering the 21st century, how many truly natural things are left in this world?
Qin Yue clearly knew that behind the daily discipline of many NBA stars often lies various technologies and tough practices.
"Did you know, this reward you've popped out today is like injecting me with a shot of adrenaline," Qin Yue said with a smile, looking at the system interface of the Mountain Peak System in his mind.
In the dormitory, after spending some time calming down, Qin Yue immediately turned his attention to the injury monitoring bar he had just obtained today.
According to the system's explanation, this injury monitoring bar is divided into four colors: green, blue, purple, and red, each corresponding to no injury risk, slight injury risk, increased injury risk, and extremely likely injury.
During the upcoming weight loss period, it not only helps Qin Yue prevent potential injuries but also allows him to adjust his training volume according to its prompts.
Of course, as the system states, due to many uncontrollable factors in reality, Qin Yue can only use it as a reference and not blindly trust it.
That afternoon, as usual, Qin Yue arrived at the nearby outdoor basketball court to practice.
Notably, since the fateful reunion with his junior, Paul, Paul now also comes here every afternoon to train with Qin Yue.
Although Paul and his senior, "Qin Yue," didn't communicate much during high school, their shared high school background has rapidly strengthened their relationship recently.
After this reunion, Paul found Qin Yue to be nearly unrecognizable compared to before.
Qin Yue not only became more talkative, but the determination Qin Yue showed during training also successfully caught Paul's attention.
Paul, being just as stubborn, highly admired Qin Yue's training attitude. Thus, during training, Paul shared his game experience with Qin Yue almost without reservation.
However, due to not daring to use a jump shot, despite Paul's help and his own efforts, although Qin Yue updated his shooting form, contrary to his imagination...
His current shooting form, rather than resembling Durant's Thunder Half Moon Slash, feels more like a catapult.
A super-sized catapult.
So be it, a catapult is fine!
As long as it goes in accurately, who cares how it eventually scores?
Additionally, in the past few days under Paul's advice, Qin Yue also successfully found the court position that currently suits him best:
——Screen and pop-out tool man.
With summer ending soon, and the 03/04 NCAA season about to begin, Qin Yue knows that in the forthcoming sophomore season, his primary task is still weight loss.
Therefore, after comprehensively analyzing his current physical, technical, and basketball knowledge reserves...
From the perspective of self-awareness, Qin Yue believes that accepting Paul's suggestion is undoubtedly the optimal solution to regain the school team coach's trust and secure a place in the Devil's Deacon Team.
After all, in the pick-and-roll segment, Qin Yue's current physique can fully provide a sense of security through adequate screening for his team's guards.
And don't forget, others may not know, but Qin Yue is well aware that Paul will become the leading point guard of the Devil's Deacon Team in the new season...
Therefore, for Qin Yue at present, what's more important than holding onto Paul's thigh?
From Qin Yue's viewpoint, as long as he can develop pick-and-roll chemistry with Paul over this summer, he definitely has a chance for a rebirth in the new season.
Qin Yue has always been practical.
So, to gain more game opportunities, he doesn't mind playing a blue-collar role on the court.
In this regard, Paul and Qin Yue are quite like-minded.
Because as the NBA's future God of Point Guards, finding the most practical solutions on the court has always been Paul's responsibility.
On the court, watching this senior who is continuously absorbing and progressing madly every day...
Secretly, Paul feels that while helping his senior make a "comeback," he will surely benefit in the future.
Paul, with sincere faith, believes that his reunion with Qin Yue is guided by divine intervention, so these days, aside from giving everything he has, Paul also firmly decided to lend a helping hand to his senior in the upcoming season, as long as Qin Yue can persist.
Everyone knows that wherever there are people, there are stories.
And where there are stories...
Somehow, there will be human relationships and nuances.
In Paul's eyes, since both he and Qin Yue came from the same high school and will soon be university peers, why not let this destined connection continue through their upcoming college years?
At this moment, if you were to summarize and translate Paul's heart into words, it would probably be this:
Senior, stay calm, I'm here to help you!
