Chapter 69: Chapter 69
Once in the game, if Bogut’s typical moves don’t work, objectively speaking, he’ll immediately become just a high-level blue-collar player.
In the future, it was the Golden State Warriors who found the right way to utilize his passing and pick-and-roll in the NBA.
But tonight, as the University of Utah’s leading scorer...
Bogut, who had publicly issued a challenge to Qin Yue before the game, how could he choose to showcase those blue-collar skills to the world?
At this moment, he just wanted to break through Qin Yue, to use a fierce back-to-the-basket move to tear off the mask that Ira Borko and a crowd of Nike-backed journalists had put on Qin Yue.
Then, as Qin Yue suppressed him, preventing him from using full strength when turning around...
He looked like that suddenly deflating sponge, giving Qin Yue a "friendly" gift of a blocked shot the next second.
"You’re so soft... Does your girlfriend usually enjoy life with someone else?" Watching Bogut, who looked utterly embarrassed after getting blocked, Qin Yue didn’t hesitate to stab him in the chest.
Yes, for someone like Bogut... even using the dirtiest, most despicable trash talk is not too much in Qin Yue’s eyes.
After all, if you don’t curse at Bogut, are you waiting for him to use those racially charged words to curse you behind your back?
No matter in the past or present life, Qin Yue never had a masochistic tendency for getting verbally abused.
At the same time, he didn’t like to kneel.
Because he had a congenital kneeling disorder, his knees couldn’t go down.
On the court, Evans secured the second rebound and hurriedly handed the basketball to Paul.
Under the basket, after leaving Bogut stunned with a trash talk that broke his defenses, Qin Yue also quickly caught up, catching Paul’s beautiful pass in the fast break, completing a slam dunk.
"This year Chris and Qin... have practically turned Winston-Salem into a City in the Sky!"
It’s undeniable; Paul’s alley-oop feeding is indeed his unique skill.
When he throws the ball, Paul’s movement is extremely discreet, and the height and position after his throw always allow the receiver to find the most comfortable angle.
On the court, Bogut, having been scored on twice consecutively by Qin Yue, was already on the verge of madness.
After Drissom, the white guard from the University of Utah, dribbled past half court, Bogut demanded the ball directly regardless of his position.
Drissom originally wanted to perform a pick-and-roll with Bogut, but in the face of his constant demands... Drissom, usually low-key on the team, did not dare slack off.
At the left 45-degree angle, watching Bogut catch the ball near the three-point line, Qin Yue lazily made a gesture inviting Bogut to proceed, directly giving up the low post to him.
The movement, the expression, clearly telling Bogut:
Come on, let me see just how soft you really are.
Witnessing this, the never before humiliated Bogut furiously rushed towards the basket with the ball.
At this moment, Bogut once again exposed one of his major weaknesses to the world.
His extremely emotional mentality.
In Qin Yue’s memory...
In the future, during a Chinese Derby between the Bucks and Rockets, in order to steal the spotlight from Yi Jianlian, an agitated Bogut attempted back-to-the-basket plays against Yao three times consecutively, resulting in three blocks for Yao.
Moreover, in Bogut’s future career, he often ended up in conflicts with opposing players due to verbal spats.
Generally, in basketball games, verbal spats aren’t a big deal.
Some players even deliberately start verbal spats to disrupt the opponent’s mindset during the game.
But most of the time...
Bogut, the one who got into verbal spats, was usually the first to have his mindset dismantled.
Just like now, blindly charging with the ball under the basket, he gifted Qin Yue with another big block to demonstrate Qin Yue’s defensive toughness.
In the Devil’s Deacon Team’s paint area, this pin block was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, striking directly on Bogut’s head.
On the court, Paul, controlling the second rebound, launched a fast break once again.
However, this time, the one to finish the fast break was Gray.
Under the basket, after blocking Bogut for the second time, Qin Yue didn’t choose to follow up on the fast break.
Because the now completely frenzied Bogut was entangled with him after the block.
The referees quickly intervened to stop this farce once Gray scored on the fast break.
With his hand squeezing Qin Yue’s arm...
Bogut, continuously applying force to try and break his arm, once again became a clown.
Because no matter how hard he tried, Qin Yue didn’t waver in the slightest.
Even as he noticed the referees trying to separate him from Bogut, Qin Yue kindly threw him to the floor.
"Watch your actions, number 4."
Looking at Bogut lying on the floor, the referee warned him once more.
Since the referees clearly saw Bogut’s malicious intent to hurt Qin Yue’s arm during the entanglement, they caught the culprit trying to injure someone maliciously on the court almost instantly.
As a result, Bogut, who had already been warned twice tonight, was utterly furious inside.
But at this moment, he could only choose to swallow his anger...
Seeing this, Qin Yue felt he had to add fuel to the fire for Bogut. Walking towards him with an indifferent expression, Qin Yue deliberately lowered his voice and mocked, "Truly a descendant of criminals..."
What crime was your ancestor exiled to Australia for? Murder, robbery, arson, or attempted rape?"
