"There's another guy after Carmelo Anthony."

NBA officials put up such a promotional slogan the next day.

Five months ago, Carmelo Anthony faced the Timberwolves and scored 33 points in the third quarter, which equaled NBA history and was hailed as one of the NBA's hardest records.

The official promotional banner was Qin Yang jumping up to face Morris Evans' defense and easily hit a three-pointer, and everyone could see Morris Evans' frightened and helpless expression.

More than a decade later, Morris Evans was destitute and Qin Yang retired as the most famous superstar in NBA history, and at that time, Morris Evans published a book:

"You have to admit that you're not as good as others."

The book reads:

"A lot of people think they're geniuses and they've been chosen by God, like me, I used to be famous in high school and played well in college, but when I got to the NBA, I realized that it was hell for me, I tried hard to play every game, but I was beaten up by super players."

"Throwing towels on the bench, serving tea and water to the bosses, trying to do everything well on the court, blocking, covering, fouling, resisting, fighting...... It may not be glamorous enough to attract fans, but it will help me find a job where I've been in the NBA for over a decade and earn enough money for my family. ”

"Remember Bruce Qin thoroughly in the 08-09 playoffs, it was a memorable playoffs, I just scored 13 points in the playoffs, which is rare in the playoffs in my entire career, but you know Bruce Qin as a rookie scored 32 points in a single quarter in front of me."

"Single quarter, playoffs...... A rookie who scored 32 points, that feeling is desperate. ”

Because of this description, Maurice Evans's book became inexplicably popular, and even this illustration was added, reminiscent of the history of those years.

…………

China the next morning, CCAV Morning News:

"Chinese player Qin Yang scored 32 points in the third quarter of yesterday's playoffs, and the score broke the record for points in a single quarter of the playoffs......"

The news of CCV made most of Qinyang famous.

Regardless of whether you know what the concept of 32 points in a single quarter is, everyone will know that there is a Chinese player named Qin Yang in the NBA, who has achieved remarkable results.

This is the first time since Yao Ming.

Szebiak:

"He's on the road to superstardom, no, or he's already a superstar, and it's hard for me to believe it's his progress, from being immature when he first entered the NBA, and then adapting very quickly, hitting a bottleneck, overcoming it quickly, and then improving by leaps and bounds, and I'm still hard to believe that this is something that a rookie can do, and even the best rookie often takes two seasons to get used to. We have to admit that he is the same as James. ”

Valejo:

"It's hard to believe what kind of person he is, and it's always nice to work with him, because you don't have to worry about what you're not doing well, because he's going to help you do better. 32 points in a single quarter, I was also surprised, but believe me, it was far from the best he could have performed. ”

Joe Johnson:

"His performance reminds me of myself, I was only the best sixth man on the Suns back then, but Bruce did better than me, and his future is brighter than mine."

……

Whether it is the Cavaliers or the Hawks, the players are full of praise for Qin Yang.

Even Yao Ming, who was about to participate in the fourth game, took the time to make a phone call: "Yoko, now you are completely famous, you have done what I haven't done for several years." ”

"Brother Yao, don't make fun of me."

Qin Yang said modestly, this sudden outburst has a certain element of chance, Qin Yang's hand feels too good, this is the biggest reason.

If the feeling is average, Qin Yang is sure to get 10 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, but 30+ is very difficult.

At the same time, in China's major media, Qin Yang's performance and past experience have been dug up, and even Qin Yang's past media interviews have been dug up.

Being cheated by an agent, being alone in a foreign country, Qin Yang's experience can be said to be incomparably legendary.

For a time, Qinyang became a household name in China.

But for Qin Yang, it was just a game, a game that played well and was able to increase his chips in the offseason.

Everyone in the NBA agrees on the fact that if a player performs better in the playoffs than in the regular season, he will perform better the following year than the previous year.

The playoffs are more difficult than the regular season, and the playoffs are played well, and the stats and court performances will definitely be better in the coming year.

It's almost a law.

In this playoffs, Qin Yang's statistics have improved a little compared to the regular season, and his average of 12.3 points and 7.6 assists per game has attracted a lot of attention.

A lot of teams are starting to prepare for the off-season, but ...... At this time, Qin Yang's performance caused a sensational impact.

No matter which team it is, they all want to take Qin Yang into their pockets.

Nowitzki:

"I'm very good friends with Bruce, we have a lot in common, we both like to shoot, a lot of people say I don't play strong enough, but Bruce doesn't think so, he says shooting is the easiest and most effective way to basketball, and that's why I've been working on it, and if possible, I hope Bruce Qin can come to the Mavericks next year and the door is open for him."

Not only that, but Mavericks owner Cuban even shouted:

"The maximum salary and the second position on the team, waiting for two years for Bruce to succeed Dirk, this is the greatest sincerity given by the Mavericks."

It's not just the Mavericks.

Howard, the core of the Magic team who is playing against the Celtics, also stepped up at this time.

Howard:

'We're good friends and I know he'll come back to me next year, that's our deal, and with Bruce, I have no doubt that we can win the title easily.'

Howard is a bit brainless, and at this time in the playoffs, he is still trying to recruit teammates. 、

This season, Howard was unhappy with the Magic's uniform group.

Although Howard is nominally the league's No. 1 center, he has very few shots per game with the Magic, and his stats are not very good.

Not to mention the team's tactical status, Howard's offense is mostly based on grabbing rebounds and then secondary offense, and there is no status and deterrence on the offensive end.

The outside world was disturbed, and Qin Yang attracted great attention because of his 32-point performance in a single quarter.

But at this time, Qin Yang did not receive too many interviews in a low-key manner.

"Danny Ferry, I need to prepare quietly for the Eastern Conference Finals, the next opponent is either the Celtics or the Magic, as for the interview, I want to put it until after the game!"

Qin Yang said directly to Danny Ferry.

This took Danny Ferry by surprise.

Being able to be interviewed, increase fame, and get attention is a good thing for any star, even in the playoffs. Qin Yang's choice is very surprising.

"Okay, I got it."

Danny Ferry suddenly felt at this moment that not trading Qin Yang was his best choice.
