Chapter 30 Isn't this top-tier 3D?
Chapter 30 Isn't this top-tier 3D?
A 1.8-meter-tall guard can't play in the G League without some serious talent, let alone start for the Idaho Bentleys.
Smith didn't even make the starting lineup!
"Barrett is fast, has good ball-handling skills, excellent court vision, and a decent outside shot. Apart from being a bit shorter, he's better than Smith in every other aspect." Qin Yu was on high alert. He had been observing his opponent and had already gained some understanding of Barrett's characteristics.
The next moment, Barrett lowered his center of gravity and made a series of cross steps, his shoulders swaying constantly, trying to confuse Qin Yu and make him move his defensive footwork.
However, Qin Yu has lived two lives. Although he has never played a single professional league match, he has watched many from the sidelines and is very experienced. He will not be easily fooled.
He kept his feet planted firmly on the floor, maintaining his defensive position.
Seeing that Qin Yu wasn't fooled, Barrett didn't care. He suddenly accelerated and broke through to the right. His speed was indeed very fast, but Qin Yu's speed had also reached C level. Coupled with his rich experience and S-level basketball IQ, he anticipated Barrett's intentions in advance, moved laterally first, and blocked the position.
This surprised Barrett, who hadn't expected Qin Yu to be so fast and to anticipate things so well. However, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately changed direction again.
However... we still couldn't get through!
Barrett was somewhat taken aback. His tried-and-true "crossover dribble" had failed!
Not only him, but everyone else was surprised.
"They actually managed to defend against it!"
"This move is Barrett's specialty, especially against people he's facing for the first time; he almost always manages to beat them. He actually managed to defend against it this time."
Several key players put away their "watching the show" expressions, realizing that Qin Yu was not only an excellent shooter, but also a formidable defender.
On the sidelines, Smith stared wide-eyed.
He knows Barrett well, but even he might not be able to defend against him.
After all, his strength lies in offense, not defense; otherwise, he wouldn't be playing as a "sixth man," but would be a starter.
But that guy... actually managed to defend against it!
"Hehe..." Coach McKinnon had already burst out laughing.
Wow, accurate shooting, doesn't hog the ball, and has excellent defensive awareness and footwork... Isn't this the perfect top-tier 3D player for any team?
By now, he had completely forgotten his initial annoyance upon receiving the news, thinking to himself that the Trail Blazers' management were all good people who had given him a treasure.
......
Barrett was slightly distracted after failing to get past Qin Yu, but he reacted quickly and didn't give up on the idea of a one-on-one fight; on the contrary, his desire for it became even stronger.
We're going to score a goal over this kid!
The next moment, he changed direction again, but instead of advancing, he retreated, took a step back, and quickly jumped up, leaning his body backward, using his technique to the extreme.
However, Qin Yu had anticipated this, and his S-level basketball IQ came into play at this moment. He was certain that Barrett would play by himself and also predicted that he would shoot.
Qin Yufei pounced on him immediately.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball was sent flying to everyone's astonishment.
Barrett still had his hand raised, maintaining his shooting motion, but his expression was somewhat dazed; he had actually been blocked.
That was a step-back lean, and it got blocked?
It's still because Barrett is too short. Qin Yu is 196cm tall, a full 16cm taller than him. Plus, with his exceptionally long wingspan, unless he's pushed too hard to jump, Barrett can forget about shooting the ball in front of me.
Carl was lucky; the ball flew right into his arms, and he immediately launched a counterattack. After two steps, he pushed the ball with both hands to Bergson, who was running down the court.
At the same time, the main team players also quickly retreated to defense.
It has to be said that the main team is much stronger than the substitute team in terms of both strength and tactical awareness. Even though they were surprised that Barrett was blocked, Taylor and others reacted quickly and immediately retreated to defend, not giving the substitute team an easy opportunity to score on fast breaks.
Seeing this, Bergson planned to slow down and take a defensive stance, but then he saw a figure quickly cutting in from the right.
"Huh..."
Bergson's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that this guy was in a really good position. After a moment's hesitation, he still pushed the ball with both hands and passed it over.
Qin Yu arrived from the right.
It was a habit, driven by top-level football intelligence, that allowed him to find the best route of attack almost without thinking, penetrating the main team's defense. He didn't even consider whether Bergson would pass the ball.
But now that it's been sent, what's there to hesitate about?
Qin Yu grabbed the basketball and took a step forward, reaching the three-second zone.
"not good."
Several key players reacted, but it was too late to stop him. They could only watch as Qin Yu leaped into the air, grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and slammed it into the basket.
Special crab gift!
For a moment, people couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This guy is actually going to dunk?
"Bang!"
A loud bang echoed through the stadium.
That dunk was powerful and explosive!
After all, Qin Yu is no longer the same person he was back in Colonel Summers Park.
The system's skill points gradually healed his old ailment, and more than twenty days of training improved his physical fitness significantly. His speed, strength, jumping ability, and explosiveness all surpassed what they were before, and he even grew two centimeters taller. For him now, he is no longer a no-dunker, but rather quite entertaining to watch.
"That was a fantastic dunk!"
Even Taylor, his rival, couldn't help but praise him.
That dunk was truly spectacular, so spectacular that all the players looked at Qin Yu with strange expressions.
Meanwhile, the two assistant coaches on the sidelines were stunned.
Coach McKinnon's eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Qin Yu was not just one of admiration, but also one of intense passion.
Only Smith looked astonished, his eyes filled with resentment. The better Qin Yu performed, the more it revealed his narrow-mindedness and mediocre abilities.
"Damn Chinese kid!" Smith cursed under his breath. "And those two idiots, Karl and Bergson, why did they pass him the ball?"
......
On the field.
He scored several goals in a row and successfully defended against Barrett, making everyone realize that Qin Yu not only had impressive physical test data, but his performance on the field was also explosive!
With the admiring look on the head coach's face, it was obvious to anyone that their mentality had changed; everyone except Smith had changed.
Several teammates ran over, laughing and giving Qin Yu a high-five.
"That was a really nice block; Barrett was totally stunned."
"That dunk was even better! Haha, I thought you could only shoot, but your dunks are so explosive, amazing!"
Qin Yu responded with a smile.
He has no reason to refuse someone's overtures!
In the next few minutes, the atmosphere on the substitute team's side improved a lot, but the main team's defense against Qin Yu also noticeably intensified.
It was no longer Barrett guarding him; instead, it was Taylor.
Now it won't be so easy for Qin Yu to fight one-on-one.
