Vaccaro on the stands almost simultaneously left his bench, "Do they know what they are doing?"
In the Gators’ half, Qin Yue’s under-the-leg switch-handed dunk, specially performed for the fans, instantly ignited the entire arena.
The fans cheered his and Paul’s names, competing to make weird noises.
In past life experiences, Vaccaro had witnessed many geniuses.
Yet even so, the connection between Qin Yue and Paul still left him incredulous.
"He’s like Tim Duncan back in the day... Just witnessing his offensive and defensive performance earlier makes this match well worth our time!"
Nearby, though he never doubted his own judgment, Merritt, who felt Qin Yue’s progress exceeded expectations, said, "Ira was right... He placed his bets earlier than any of us."
On the Gators’ bench, facing the pressure Qin Yue brought to the team since the start of the game... Noah had already begun praying for Horford and Lee.
On the court, amidst the roaring waves, Roberson, after dribbling past the half-court, opted to initiate the offense from the perimeter.
This was a wise decision.
But as Roberson, aided by Horford’s screen, was about to shake off Paul, a despair-inducing large hand instantly disrupted his dribble.
Upon seeing this, Roberson quickly turned to reclaim the basketball.
Yet faster than him, Qin Yue picked up the ball and made a beeline for the Gators’ basket.
The next second, with no other choice, Roberson recklessly charged at Qin Yue, attempting to use a foul to prevent Qin Yue from capitalizing on his mistake.
But just as Roberson grabbed Qin Yue...
Qin Yue, simultaneously accelerating, showed no signs of having his offense impeded...
On the court, Qin Yue, with Roberson hanging on him like a bulldozer, pushed into the paint, scored forcefully, and earned an extra free throw.
In the restricted area, even as he released his hands from Qin Yue, Roberson still couldn’t calm his emotions.
He just dragged his 180-pound self and forcibly sent the basketball into the hoop?
He used his other hand during the landing to protect himself from injury?
On the stands, rubbing the bald head of the person next to him excitedly, Barkley exclaimed, "This is my successor!
Even with countless obstacles ahead... he can bulldoze right through!"
Upon hearing this, Jordan pushed Barkley away and elbowed him to remind Barkley to watch his image before saying, "When have you ever scored such a bucket in the NBA?"
Feeling that Jordan had dementia, Barkley retorted, "I’ve made plenty of similarly brilliant plays."
Seeing Barkley take the bait, Jordan said, "Oh, really? How come I don’t remember?"
"You’re old, Michael... Do you need me to help you remember?"
"Alright, I’m indeed old, Charles. Then could you help me recall how I earned my six championship rings?"
Hey... Who was the opponent I beat in the 92/93 finals again?"
Which pot doesn’t boil aren’t you talking about!
Damn it, the opponent you beat in the 92/93 finals was me!
At this moment, Barkley was once again rendered speechless by Jordan.
And on the court, after hitting the extra free throw, Qin Yue once again enjoyed the worship from the Wake Forest fans.
"Unbelievable, this is simply unbelievable... The player hanging on him was 180 pounds, how on earth did he maintain his center and balance?" On the stands, Vaccaro slapped his cheeks while speaking.
Beside him, Merritt also felt his heart had been greatly shaken.
"College-era Shaquille O’Neal should just be ?"
On the court, Qin Yue accounted for the opening 14 points of Wake Forest this evening.
However, as the Gators called a timeout and he looked up at the rapidly passing game time...
Qin Yue felt that time had indeed become the biggest enemy of his killing show in this game.
It’s common knowledge that because American College Basketball is divided into halves of 20 minutes each, coupled with the 30-second shot clock for each possession...
This results in far fewer offensive possessions in college basketball games than in the NBA.
Last season, Wake Forest averaged about 59 offensive possessions per game.
Even with Qin Yue’s heroic form tonight, he couldn’t shoot four or fifty times in a game like Kobe.
Especially after this timeout, Qin Yue noticed that the Gators not only slowed down the game pace but decisively employed double-teaming to prevent his shots on the court.
Less than 10 minutes into the game, the SEC conference’s star power forward David Lee had already been dazed by Qin Yue.
So to protect the face of this flagship star, Donovan had to elevate the Gators’ respect for Qin Yue.
With Donovan and the Gators’ assistance, Qin Yue used precise passes on the court to further shift people’s perception of him.
Last season, Qin Yue had showcased his passing talent.
He truly became Wake Forest’s Nikola Jokic.
His handoff pass with Paul at the top arc seemed simple, but the Gators had no solution for it.
Moreover, in the face of double-teaming, he always managed to send the ball into the hands of open teammates in the most sensible way...
On the court, once, twice, three times, four times...
Watching Wake Forest’s dazzling, Qin Yue-initiated offensive coordination, Donovan at this moment was devoid of the calmness and demeanor from before the game?
On the sideline, transforming into a blow-dryer, he could only express his unsatisfaction with the team’s defense through his roars.
"Truly pleasing coordination... Qin constantly demonstrates his influence on the game tonight." On the stands, thoroughly mesmerized, Vaccaro commented on Wake Forest’s offense.
After a pause, Vaccaro added, "Qin is the kind of central player you can entirely build a team around... To be honest, through tonight’s game, in my eyes, becoming the number one NBA draft pick might just be the starting point of his future."
Before the game, David Lee, thinking Qin Yue was courting disaster, gradually lost his courage against Qin Yue during the match.
Because in the final stage of the first half, attempting to jointly block Qin Yue under the basket with Horford...
He witnessed the terrifying spectacle:
Under the basket, Qin Yue, with Horford and himself hanging on him simultaneously... forcibly sent the basketball into the hoop via a bank shot.
At this moment, Lee and Horford didn’t argue with the referees.
Because in Lee and Horford’s eyes, it was a meaningless affair.
Earlier, they simply wanted to stop Qin Yue through fouling.
How indeed can they stop this Wake Forest beast from scoring under the rim?
With strength that can pull up mountains, and dominance before the world.
Unfortunately, although in his wife Sun Qi’s eyes, Xiang Yu’s fate at the Wu River is ominous...
But at this moment, facing his son who was doing as he pleased on the court, not knowing how to describe his feelings about Qin Yue, Qin Yong could only think of Xiang Yu!
Strength to lift cauldrons, return of the overlord!
points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals.
At halftime, when Jerry West, whose brother died in the Korean War, and isn’t fond of Asian players, watched the first half of the game on TV...
Admittedly, West’s initial intention was to find flaws in Qin Yue’s performance.
But during halftime, West suppressed the disgust rising from his throat to make a precise comment: "The 2005 NBA first draft pick has only one possibility, one choice.
Anyone who doesn’t choose Qin is an idiot."
