"Hey, you got it right, that guy Barang is unreliable. In critical moments, you still have to rely on me to share the pressure."

As the beautiful memories of last season were spoken by Qin Yue, they gradually awakened in Artest's mind. Seeing Artest calm down completely, Qin Yue then got to the point.

You should know that at Wake Forest, Qin Yue's psychology studies were not in vain.

So, under Qin Yue's analysis, Artest quickly discovered that...

Mike Malone's suggestion to reduce his inefficient solo ball handling was not about stripping away his tactical position entirely.

Because how could Qin Yue possibly handle that much ball possession in a 48-minute NBA game?

"You mean, the coach just wants me to play more as a team in some important games. But usually, the team needs me to provide more offensive power?"

On hearing this, Qin Yue nodded and continued analyzing for Ah Tai: "Even in some important games, your ball-handling offense is exceptionally important."

Qin Yue understood clearly the new tactical system that Mike Malone wanted to build. It's not exactly the same as the future Nuggets, but at least it could be said to be similar.

In the starting lineup, Kwame Brown will play half the role of Aaron Gordon.

Why only half?

Because Brown's defensive talent is better, and he can't shoot threes.

Richardson will play the remaining half of Gordon, as well as half of Little Potter.

Since opening the Ren and Du Meridians last season, Richardson, who can cut in without the ball and find weaknesses from the perimeter, is undeniably one of the top athletic sharpshooters in today's NBA.

And Artest and Davis?

They will join forces to play the roles of Jamal Murray and Caldwell-Pope.

Since Artest and Davis's offense are not stable enough, only by combining their attacks and creating better offensive space through Qin Yue's efficient organization can they both become more effective.

As for Qin Yue?

He is, of course, the all-around Nikola Jokic on the court, along with the remaining half of Little Potter.

Additionally, the Warriors' bench mob will definitely be heavily utilized by Malone in the new season.

Besides Little Deng Liwei and Murphy, who have already proven themselves on the path to the championship...

The addition of Barnes and the growth of Biedrins and Jack have quietly endowed them with the redundancy needed for a ten-man rotation in the new season.

This means the Warriors will be more dominant in the regular season than they were last year.

So...

Upon Qin Yue's description, Artest slapped himself twice on the spot because he almost lost the chance to defend the championship with this Warriors team due to a moment's impulse today!

"I'll apologize to Matt this afternoon."

"No, no need to apologize, Ron. It's just a spat between you two due to differing opinions. Since I've already stepped in, this matter is over. Anyone who's unhappy can come to me."

The emotions of new comrades and the atmosphere of fair competition within the team must be considered, but the dignity of the old comrades must also be given.

In the Warriors, where Qin Yue's word has always been final, he temporarily used his prestige and eloquence to settle the conflict caused by the change of coach and tactical style.

That's right, it's only temporary.

After all, in the NBA...

Only those victories and the final championship are the only remedies.

...

On the 30th, Qin Yue left the Warriors' preseason training camp.

Because today is his big day:

——His number 10 jersey, symbolizing the peak at Wake Forest, will be officially retired today.

The year before last, all of his teammates who jointly won the March Madness for the Devil's Deacon Team were present.

As special guests, Duncan and Howard, two outstanding seniors, were also invited to attend.

However, when Qin Yue appeared holding the FMVP trophy...

Duncan and Howard couldn't help but feel a dull ache in their chests.

In the center of the stage, Mr. Prose proudly said: "Wake Forest now has two NBA Finals MVPs... This fully proves what an excellent school we are."

Then, Prose turned his gaze to Qin Yue: "To be honest, I really don't want to praise your senior anymore, as he has already proven everything with our school's first NCAA championship! He will be our eternal legend!"

As soon as Prose finished his words, the crowd attending the ceremony erupted with deafening cheers.

Is Qin Yue only popular in the Bay Area?

Of course not.

Due to Charlotte's unique location (just over 100 kilometers from Winston-Salem), when he led the Warriors to visit Charlotte last season, there were already a lot of Wake Forest supporters cheering for him at the Bobcats' home court.

Moreover, Qin Yue's historical status in the small town of Winston-Salem will be passed down through generations due to his remarkable achievements for the Devil's Deacon Team.

Just as Skip Prosser said.

Qin Yue commands a legacy that even Tim Duncan cannot compare to.

This legacy has cemented Qin Yue's legendary status at Wake Forest.

Here, he is eternal and unique.

Additionally, on the day of the jersey retirement ceremony, Qin Yue also met Rachel Carrell, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Unlike the university days when the head news anchor would always circle around Qin Yue, Rachel knew very well... her relationship with Qin Yue is bound to be complicated, hard to unravel, but at the same time... destined to have no outcome.
