What? The trainer is warming up.

Chapter 3 The Amazing Skill Point Allocation

"Bang!"

Another muffled thud, and Oden's shot missed again. He had missed several shots in a row, and his temper was getting more and more agitated, his breathing becoming rapid.

Qin Yu caught the bouncing basketball, but this time he didn't pass it to Oden. Instead, he shook his head at Oden and said, "Greg, you can't do this. You're finished."

What?

Oden was taken aback, not expecting Qin Yu to speak to him like that. He immediately glared at Qin Yu, "You bastard, are you looking for death?"

Qin Yu remained unfazed, his tone still sharp: "Greg, you should know yourself that you can never return to your former form. You can't even finish a normal game. Look at your teammates; they play better without you. What use are you?"

Oden clenched his fist, almost ready to throw it.

But he also knew that Qin Yu was telling the truth, and the anger, annoyance, frustration, and depression in his heart were mixed together and almost exploded.

A burly man, over two meters tall, was burning with rage, and the sense of oppression he exuded should have been immense, but perhaps he had been weakened by setbacks. Although Oden put on an angry expression, his face didn't show any ferocity; instead, it looked somewhat... aggrieved.

"However..." Qin Yu's tone changed, "If you're willing to believe me, there might still be hope for recovery."

Upon hearing this, Oden smiled.

He laughed out of anger.

"Looks like you've really lost your mind." Oden didn't believe it at all. "Qin, if you apologize to me now, I can pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

Qin Yu smiled too.

The reason he deliberately provoked Oden was to stir up Oden's emotions so that Oden would listen to him continue. Otherwise, no matter what he said, Oden would just laugh it off.

Now... the plan has only just begun.

Qin Yu dribbled the basketball on the floor, then tossed it toward the rim with one hand in a very stylish motion. However, with a bang, the basketball bounced off the rim.

Uh... I still need to get used to this body.

Qin Yu felt embarrassed inside, but remained calm on the surface: "See? You're just like me now. No matter how much you practice, it's useless because of your knee injury. Your power is disconnected."

As he spoke, he looked at Oden's legs: "And you also have legs of different lengths."

Oden instinctively pulled his foot back, forcing a smile, "My injury will heal. As for the difference in leg length, I don't think it's a problem. I played like this in high school and college. It didn't affect me, and I've found a way to deal with it."

Qin Yu scoffed: "You mean height-increasing insoles?"

Oden opened his mouth to speak, but Qin Yu interrupted him: "Or do you think you've gotten used to this way of exerting force and it doesn't affect you?"

"No, you're wrong, terribly wrong."

"Height-increasing insoles won't solve your problem, nor will your usual way of exerting force. On the contrary, after wearing height-increasing insoles, you'll have to adapt to them, which will only make your problem worse."

That was the only one that really hit the nail on the head, leaving Oden, who had wanted to retort, speechless and swallowing back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He frowned, his expression shifting several times, before finally asking with a cold laugh, "Qin, what exactly are you trying to say? Are you just trying to humiliate me? Well, let me tell you, I won't be easily defeated."

It must be said that Oden is quite resilient, at least for now.

In another year, all that will be left is a facade of strength.

"No, I'm not trying to ridicule you, but to help you." Qin Yu pointed to his knee, "because I've had the same experience as you."

This is also why Qin Yu chose Oden as the starting point for his plan. He and Oden didn't have much of a relationship, but they were in the same boat.

Oden had heard about Qin Yu's past.

For a moment, he fell silent, and the anger in his eyes subsided.

The two were in the same boat, both having suffered serious knee injuries. If Qin Yu was mocking him, it would be tantamount to insulting Qin Yu himself.

"Hmm, he should be able to listen to me properly now," Qin Yu thought to himself. This was the effect he wanted. He continued, "Like you, I suffered a serious knee injury, and I've been searching for a way to fully recover. Now, I've found it."

Oden instinctively doubted, but like a drowning man, Qin Yu's words became his last lifeline, and he subconsciously tried to grasp them: "Really?"

Qin Yu laughed and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you try it."

Qin Yu then explained that he had found an ancient rehabilitation training method from China and had Oden train according to his own method...

......

Oden stood on his healthy leg, with his injured leg at his side. He slowly leaned his body, applying pressure to the injured leg, and held his arms out to maintain his balance.

Qin Yu then instructed from the side: "Yes, that's it, adjust your breathing."

"This angle is fine, start to reduce the force."

"Activate your thigh muscles; your calves should only exert force briefly, with your thighs controlling the movement, minimizing the force exerted by your knees..."

A series of instructions, which sounded quite plausible.

In sports science, this is called a "compensation mechanism," which means using other muscles to replace the injured area in exerting force, thereby reducing the load on the injured area.

However, for injuries like Oden's, this thing has very limited effect.

To avoid being recognized by experts, Qin Yu deliberately added some strange movements, including breathing frequency, arm movements, etc., making it look like people practicing martial arts in martial arts movies. In fact, the purpose was just to keep those experts from figuring it out.

It's all just a facade.

What really matters is the system's point allocation!

While having Oden perform the movements he taught him, Qin Yu used the system to add points to Oden's stats.

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment about whether he should use the 100 points, but the system then reminded him that he needed to earn the points himself, and the way to earn points was to score goals in the game. He would then receive corresponding point rewards.

Furthermore, the system does not restrict the type of match; five-on-five matches, three-on-three matches, and even one-on-one duels are all acceptable.

This gave Qin Yu a new idea...

Another point is that since these 100 points are a "newbie gift pack", it is obvious that even if you use them all on yourself, the effect will probably be limited. Instead of using them all on yourself, it would be better to invest these 100 points, which might earn you more.

"Add more points, keep adding points..."

Qin Yu silently recited to himself, watching the points displayed on the system panel decrease continuously, feeling both heartache and anticipation.

I hope it won't disappoint me.

......

"Hey, what's Greg doing?"

"It looks like they're doing rehabilitation training, but the movements seem wrong. I've never seen this kind of rehabilitation training before."

"Haha, could it be that Qin is messing around?"

"That's hilarious, that action was so funny. Greg is really stupid, actually listening to a rookie assistant trainer..."

A group of Trail Blazers players also saw what was happening and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Jason's face darkened. He had instructed Qin Yu to assist Oden in training according to the rehabilitation plan he had devised, and he had not allowed Qin Yu to smuggle in any personal agenda.

Fueled by rage, Jason strode over, shouting before he even reached him, "You damned yellow-skinned monkey, what are you doing?"

The phrase "yellow-skinned monkey" made Qin Yu famous.

He turned around, gathering his strength, ready to deliver a powerful slap... Damn it, serves you right for being so foul-mouthed, I'll beat you to death.

But before he could make a move, Oden suddenly stepped in front of Qin Yu and said to Jason in an unfriendly tone, "Jason, I want you to apologize to Qin. You are very impolite."

What?

Jason was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Oden, thinking to himself, "Has this guy taken the wrong medicine? Why is he defending Qin Yu, this yellow-skinned monkey?"

"Why......"

Qin Yu felt a little regretful that he hadn't managed to slap him, but then he was secretly delighted. "Oden is protecting me so much, it seems the system points are working."

Yes, the system points have taken effect.

It consumed a total of 80 points, almost draining Qin Yu dry.

But the effect is quite remarkable, with immediate results.

Oden could clearly feel that his legs had become stronger, the discomfort in his knee injury had lessened, and he could walk much more easily than before.

It feels like I wasn't injured or had surgery.

In short, it was fucking awesome!

The immediate effect surprised and delighted Oden. He now looked at Qin Yu with such intense longing that he was determined to protect him.

This was his lifeline!

Jason stared blankly at Oden, not understanding what was going on with him, but the current situation made him frown. Although Oden was plagued by injuries and his status on the team was far from what it used to be, he was still the number one draft pick, so he still had to be given some respect.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, Jason said, "Greg, Qin was just messing around. It won't do you any good. I wanted to stop him."

Qin Yu curled his lip, "You talk like you're so capable. If you were really that good, Oden wouldn't have become a 'glass man' (injury-prone player)."

He looked at Oden, completely unfazed.

As expected, Oden still showed no intention of backing down: "I know best whether the training methods Qin taught me are effective or not. Also, that's not what we're talking about. What we're talking about is that you just insulted Qin, and I want you to apologize to him."

Jason's face turned bright red; he really couldn't understand what was wrong with Oden.

It's impossible for him to apologize, absolutely impossible.

Qin Yu knew that Jason wouldn't apologize to him, as Oden wouldn't do that either, so he smiled and stepped forward: "No need for an apology, I'm a very magnanimous person..."

Upon hearing this, Jason snorted coldly, thinking to himself that he knew Jason wouldn't dare to go too far. Oden, on the other hand, breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was in a difficult position, as Jason was a veteran of the team.

"Snapped!"

However, at that moment, a crisp sound rang out, and then Jason covered his right cheek, completely stunned.

Not only Jason and Oden, but all the other players were stunned.

"Special Crab Gift!"

"What just happened?"

"It looks like Jason got beaten up. No, not just looks like, he really did get beaten up, by that yellow-skinned guy... oh no, by that Qin guy."

Everyone was stunned. They never expected to see this scene. The rookie trainer, who used to be timid and never talked back, was actually so tough today.

The huge stadium fell silent.

"Unfortunately, Oden blocked the angle, so I could only use my left hand, and it was still too light."

It wasn't until Qin Yu sighed that everyone came back to their senses.

The entire arena erupted in uproar. Jason was beyond furious, roaring as he lunged at Qin Yu. Oden's eyes widened, but he reacted quickly, grabbing Jason and holding him tightly. The two-and-a-half-meter-tall Oden held Jason firmly, preventing him from struggling at all.

"You damned yellow-skinned monkey..."

Jansen was still yelling, but Qin Yu didn't want to pay attention anymore because the other players had already surrounded him, and there was no chance to slap Jansen again.

Forget it.

"Consider this a small interest payment; I'll deal with him next time." Qin Yu shook his wrist, dissatisfied with his current physical condition. "Damn, my hand hurts."
