On July 18th, with Tim Grover's assistance, Qin Yue officially started his summer training.

This summer, the offseason that went crazy because of him has ignited his fierce fighting spirit.

Qin Yue is eager to become stronger and is desperate to gain the power that can crush everything after his training.

"After adapting to the rookie season, I think your body is fully prepared."

Under Grover's arrangement, Qin Yue will gain 3 kilograms of muscle this summer.

Since Qin Yue will represent the Chinese Men's Basketball Team in the World Championship held in Japan this summer, the 3-kilogram muscle gain plan will be divided into two phases.

Namely, before the start of the World Championship, and after the World Championship ends.

After this muscle gain, Qin Yue, this unstoppable tank on the move, will undoubtedly don a new layer of armor.

Moreover, because of the passive effect of the [Flying Pig] badge, this layer of armor will not subject him to the negative effects typically produced by muscle gain.

That is, muscle gain often affects coordination, flexibility, and other related attributes.

Previously, when the [Flying Pig] badge returned the attribute loss caused by weight to himself, Qin Yue had already concluded through calculations.

That is, in the Mountain Peak system's visualized data, his current attributes will only begin to be negatively affected by muscle gain when he exceeds 125 kilograms.

This is terrifying because it means Qin Yue will always possess coordination and flexibility far beyond players of the same height and weight.

Additionally, after the World Championship and this summer's China tour, Qin Yue plans to hold a training camp in Oakland based on Grover's suggestion.

Grover didn't expect the young Qin Yue had already thought about his post-retirement future, so to prevent Qin Yue from facing "an uncertain late career," Grover offered his advice as someone who has been through it.

"You can invite some players who have already made a name for themselves in college and high school to train with you. Trust me, these young players will not refuse the chance to train with an NBA icon."

"What's in it for me?"

"You will become their guide into the NBA in the future, and those among them who are grateful will appreciate you deeply."

Qin Yue felt Grover's advice sounded good...

Especially after he saw the list Grover handed him.

Just thinking about the opportunity to beat those not-yet-seen NBA stars, Qin Yue couldn't help but get excited.

Qin Yue decided that he would arrange countless cameras to capture all the scenes of him beating those future NBA stars.

Does Qin Yue need those grateful young players to be deeply appreciative?

Of course not.

He just wanted to take the opportunity, before those future NBA stars enter the league, to defeat them and completely crush their basketball dreams.

On the 21st, the Warriors signed back Adonal Foyle, who was traded to Indiana City last year in exchange for Artest, from the free agent market.

As the Warriors' all-time blocks leader, Foyle was picked by the Warriors as the seventh pick in the first round in 1997.

Before being traded, he had served the Warriors for 9 seasons; in short, he is also a player who possesses Warriors' bloodline.

Even though the 978 blocks he completed for the Warriors before being traded will inevitably be surpassed by Qin Yue in the future.

But considering he is a center skilled in low-post defense, coupled with Seattle already forming an awe-inspiring double-tower in the paint, Mulin had his eye on this former Warriors insider with bloodline from the start.

As for Foyle himself, he was also very excited to return to the Warriors.

On the day he signed a veteran's minimum contract with the Warriors, Foyle tearfully confessed: "I am a Warrior in life, and a Warrior's ghost in death! I am very grateful that the team didn't forget me after their championship!"

This summer, returning home has already become a hot topic in the NBA offseason.

It's just unknown which returning player can have the most perfect send-off.

On the 22nd and 23rd, the Heat signed DeShawn Stevenson and Trevor Ariza from the free agent market respectively.

The former is a completely unrestricted free agent, known historically for "slaughtering Shituo Ridge" by following the Mavericks in the 10/11 season.

But actually, ever since developing his three-point shot, Stevenson has always been an outstanding defensive wing 3D player.

As for the latter?

As a restricted free agent, since the Magic did not match the Heat's final offer for Ariza, Ariza will switch to the Heat's camp in the new season.

Failing to win the championship in 2006...

The unwilling Riley has quietly completed a revamp for the Heat.

And for this, Qin Yue only hopes Riley can intensify his efforts.

Because a stronger Heat will surely completely disrupt the Eastern Conference's landscape, indirectly blocking James's "King's Guard" domination of the East.

As the saying goes: afraid of brothers having a hard time, yet afraid of brothers driving a Land Rover.

With the West already a chaotic mess, Qin Yue certainly hopes the strong teams in the East can up the ante against his good brother.

Otherwise, as Anthony said... how can James understand the difficult days his brothers are living in the West?

In fact, even though the Nuggets management's maneuvers can only be described as genius this summer, privately, Anthony is still not satisfied with the Nuggets' lineup.

Qin Yue felt that the experience of winning the championship in his rookie season had given his brothers an unprecedented intense stimulus.

According to an ESPN revelation in the Las Vegas training camp, Wade almost loses sleep every day due to nightmares.

"This is definitely the most painful period in my life, I want to forget it, but it's deeply etched in my mind."

This summer, the Cavaliers' uniform team racked their brains for an outstanding performance, but it didn't relieve James's anxiety.

"I don't want to answer any questions about the Warriors winning the championship because I've answered many times before. I'm proud of my brother Qin. Oh, you want to ask for my opinion on 'The Godfather'? Hmm... hmm... anyway, it's a great movie." (Note②)

Among Qin Yue's brothers, only Paul remains relatively calm at the moment.

According to The Salt Lake City Tribune, before reporting to the Las Vegas training camp, Paul even went to Illinois with great interest and helped Jerry Sloan work on the farm for a few days.

"I have no opinion on the new season's Western Conference... I play basketball to compete with top players, so the stronger the overall competitiveness of the West, the happier I'll be."

Even the craziest offseason will eventually return to calm.

In early August, after completing the first phase of muscle gain and participating in the new sneaker release event in Shanghai, Qin Yue immediately rushed to Japan and joined the already waiting Chinese Men's Basketball Team.

Having been traded to Supersonic in the draft, Yao Ming's mood seemed much better than when he played the Chinese Derby before.

However, on the gathering day of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team, Qin Yue noticed that the gaze of all the team members, including Yao Ming, had changed from the past when looking at him.

Last year during the Asian Championship, he was just the second overall pick selected by the Warriors from China.

But now, he is the undisputed number one player in the current NBA.

Qin Yue knows very well that at this moment, he is facing not only the high expectations of his teammates.

Because from his perspective, this year the domestic fans have...

Indeed their expectation for the Men's Basketball Championship journey is sky-high.

Undoubtedly, this expectation from Chinese fans has essentially transformed into a crown with a weight only Qin Yue knows.
