Qin Yue achieved a complete victory in the showdown against Frej.
In the game, Frej, who only dared to play evasively, made just 4 out of 11 shots, scoring a total of 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists including free throws and three-pointers.
As the star player of the Captain Team...
The performance of Frej, delivering such a poor scorecard, clearly couldn't lead the Captain Team into the next round.
On the Devil's Deacon Team's side, Qin Yue made 11 out of 15 shots, including 1 out of 3 three-pointers, and successfully made 5 out of 6 free throws, accumulating a massive total of 28 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals for the team.
On the court, the 218 cm tall Prabishivsky and the 208 cm tall Frej were both toyed with in the palm of his hand.
During the March Madness, the media and scouts were stunned to find:
Qin Yue's dynamic talent seemed to be further activated.
ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith commented on Qin Yue's performance during the March Madness: "If he enters the draft this year, I'd be totally willing to gamble on his talent with a lottery pick!"
After the match, Smith's view gained much recognition from the public.
After all, a raptor like Qin Yue, who can soar freely even in the March Madness, is rarely seen even in the United States, where birds of prey roam everywhere.
However, despite this, Qin Yue does not intend to change his original plan.
Because, not to mention, he must obtain the task rewards of "That Unextinguished Dream" and "In the Name of Legacy" before the end of his college career...
Under the premise that he can continue honing his skills through college to strive for a higher entry into the NBA in the future, he sees no need to rush.
In his memory, Qin Yue witnessed too many raptors falter in the NBA.
For example, what was the fate of the buck Stromer Swift, whom Barkley called the running, jumping buck?
Or, for instance, what was the result of Shaun Livingston, who was attracted by fame and fortune and skipped college when he should have gone to Duke for further studies?
If his current draft prospects were top three, Qin Yue would definitely enter the draft without hesitation.
Because that would mean he had no room for growth in college.
But at the moment, is it necessary for Qin Yue to gamble on being selected by a team willing to wait for him to grow and give him full possession to hone his skills?
In Qin Yue's eyes, the probability of that is really too low.
For someone like him, who, with the Mountain Peak system, knows how high his talent truly is, following in the footsteps of his senior Duncan to perfect his techniques in college and completely conquer the NBA scouts before entering as a franchise cornerstone is clearly the right path.
...
On the day after he and Paul led the Devil's Deacon Team to beat the Captain Team 90-71...
The upcoming clash between Wake Forest and Connecticut became the focus of the world's attention.
People who were initially discussing whether Jamal Nelson would become the Player of the Year, how far freshman Loul Deng could lead Duke after becoming a starter, and whether Georgia Tech's Cinderella story could continue, all stopped and immediately turned their gaze to this upcoming spectacular showdown in the Phoenix district.
Additionally, before the match, the media were enthusiastically introducing the stars of this battle to the fans in various ways.
"Emeka Okafor, one of the most complete inside players in the NCAA in recent years.
On the court, he excels in skills, is tough on offense, and resilient on defense.
Off the court, he excels in both character and learning, being modest and practical.
If I had the first overall pick this year, Emeka would definitely be the perfect choice."
As a junior, historically selected by the Bobcats with the second pick this year, Okafor is undoubtedly the best role model for Qin Yue at the moment.
Even though, compared to many second picks in Qin Yue's memory, Okafor's career was not outstanding due to long-term back injury troubles in the NBA...
But in the first few years after entering the NBA, Okafor, consistently regarded by the Bobcats as the core of the inside, also received ample opportunities to showcase himself.
Perhaps at a higher level in the NBA, Okafor's talent couldn't help him climb higher.
But for Qin Yue, who has long known through the Mountain Peak system how high his talent really is...
Talent cannot become his obstacle.
"Ben Gordon, a genius guard that you cannot describe with words.
His jump shot is gorgeous and precise.
As a guard with comprehensive offensive skills, his only shortcoming is his height of just 6 feet 3 inches.
But even so, his height can't stop him from shining on the court."
This season, Gordon has averaged 18.5 points in the Big East Conference, being Kang University's leading scorer.
Moreover, historically, more terrifyingly…..
In his first year after entering the NBA, Gordon successfully became the NBA's Best Sixth Man.
He managed to score an average of 15.1 points per game for the Bulls in around 24 minutes of playtime.
At this moment, without belittling oneself, in Qin Yue's eyes...
At least currently, he and Paul are not on the same level as Okafor and Gordon.
And besides Okafor and Gordon...
How reasonable is Kang University's team composition?
Reasonable to the extent that compared to them, Qin Yue feels like the Devil's Deacon Team is really just a motley crew.
After entering the March Madness, Kang University's head coach Jim Calhoun prefers using Hilton Armstrong to partner with Okafor inside.
The 211 cm tall Armstrong has excellent jumping and wingspan, and the inside defense with Okafor is definitely the hardest barrier to breach in this year's March Madness.
