Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 489 162: Path to the Mountain Peak (5000-word chapter, begging for subscriptions and monthly passes)_2

This will be a "decoration" ceremony that thoroughly cements Qin Yue's historical status at home.
In the media room, besides a large number of Chinese journalists, many American journalists also wanted to interview Qin Yue.
Qin Yue's legendary performance in the Olympic Games once again proved that he is indeed the king of the current NBA mountain.
So, an American journalist immediately asked, "After leading the Chinese Team to an unprecedented Olympic victory, who do you think is the best player in the basketball world: you or Michael Jordan?"
"Of course, it's me." Qin Yue cleverly sidestepped the question, "Michael is already 45 this year, and now he can only shine in the BIG3 league."
Although on the international stage, Qin Yue was incredibly confident that he was undoubtedly better than the old GOAT.
But before winning six championships, Qin Yue would avoid any attempt to compare him to Jordan as much as possible.
This is Qin Yue's principle.
It's also his respect for the NBA championship's fundamental law.
If a player can't even match Jordan's number of championships, on what grounds can he claim to have surpassed Jordan?
"American Basketball has missed the championship in four consecutive major tournaments, do you have any suggestions for American Basketball as the Olympic champion?"
This is undoubtedly a moment of turnaround.
To this, Qin Yue chuckled helplessly, "My only suggestion to American Basketball is that they need to understand that FIBA and NBA are two different dimensions of competition."
Qin Yue was well aware that the main reason for American Basketball's repeated failures in major tournaments in the first decade of the 21st century was that they underestimated FIBA's competitions.
Qin Yue did not care whether American Basketball could achieve redemption in the future.
Because at this moment, he just wanted to enjoy the joy of crushing American Basketball's redemption dreams.
That night, the Olympic closing ceremony was held at the Bird's Nest National Stadium.
Just a few hours before, Qin Yue, who had led the Chinese Men's Basketball Team to the pinnacle of the world, and Yao Ming became the center of attention for athletes from all countries.
As in Qin Yue's memory, Australian women's basketball player Lauren Jackson, who had long expressed admiration for Yao Ming, did not miss the opportunity. After extending her hand to Yao Ming, Lauren and Yao Ming embraced each other closely and gently kissed each other's cheeks.
After this embrace that lasted for several seconds, Lauren, who seemed not yet satisfied, wanted to continue interacting with Yao Ming. However, the shy Yao quickly moved to the side.
"You better think about how you're going to explain this when you get home." said Qin Yue, who was busy flirting with Sharapova, who could only participate in these Olympics as a mascot due to a shoulder injury, and thus teasing Yao Ming, "Journalists from all over the world have captured that moment of yours."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ming said innocently, "It's not what you think between me and her."
Qin Yue shrugged and said, "Don't explain it to me, even if there's something between you two, I will silently support you."
Yao Ming: "..."
At this moment, feeling like he couldn't clear his name no matter what, Yao Ming, seeing Qin Yue even take the initiative to kiss Sharapova while flirting, looked puzzled and asked, "Why do you never worry about the media gossiping about your rumored romances?"
"Because I'm single!"
"..."
The Beijing Olympic Games concluded successfully.
This was a summer worthy of being repeatedly reminisced upon by the world.
The new GOAT of the basketball world offered this rising nation a gift that would be repeatedly mentioned even in a hundred years to come in an unbelievable manner.
Undoubtedly, after this summer, Qin Yue had become a god in the hearts of Chinese sports fans.
But to firmly sit on the god's throne, Qin Yue still needs to strive upward, and such climbing will never end.
Because once Qin Yue's climbing stops, it would mean he would inevitably face that so-called downhill path.
It's worth mentioning...
During the closing ceremony, the bond formed between Qin Yue and the tennis beauty Sharapova, in the following days, by developing new plays and paving a new path, gave her a completely different experience, and helped her overcome that one-sided passion deficiency in the process of special training.
Although in the tennis world, Sharapova has always been famous for her sharp yells.
But in private, this passionless Russian beauty nearly left Qin Yue helpless.
Fortunately, Qin Yue had watched plenty of action movies.
With his patient guidance, this tall and stunning tennis beauty eventually succumbed to his almost historic level of resilience.
...
After attending that solemn award ceremony.
Then being "marched" by major sponsors to participate in several commercial promotional activities, Qin Yue did not return to Oakland until mid-September of that year.
Since he represented the Chinese Team in the Olympic Games, Qin Yue was granted a one-week delay in returning to the team.
While Qin Yue participated in the Olympic Games, the second BIG3 league also determined this year's champion.
Reggie Miller, who was promoted from player to captain, dominated the BIG3 league for two consecutive years and became the undisputed initial GOAT of this senior league.
Compared to last year, this year's BIG3 league was slightly lacking in star power.
Jordan was absent due to injury.
Barkley and Pippen did not register for various reasons.
Payton was busy assisting Qin Yue in ascending during the Olympic Games.
Even so, this event Qin Yue originally intended as a leisure play still garnered a lot of praise in the community.
Especially when Miller repeatedly shot four-pointers on the court, many American fans got increasingly annoyed: "See, former NBA stars can still casually nail these high-difficulty threes even after retirement!"
