What reassured Warriors fans somewhat was that after the surgery was successfully completed, when their new GOAT appeared in public, he still had that radiant, sun-like smile on his face.
"His health means everything to us."
A Warriors fan said in an interview, "Although his absence makes the upcoming season seem less exciting, we've already won two championships under his leadership. We believe that when he returns from his injury, we will still be the most competitive team."
After the surgery, Qin Yue's long holiday began.
To avoid having nothing to do while recovering, Qin Yue registered a channel on YouTube called "Qin's Sports Talk".
Compared to Jordan, who back then could only kill time by watching North Carolina games during his recovery, and secretly played pick-up games against the Bulls management's orders, almost leading to his downfall, Qin Yue is undoubtedly lucky.
Because of the development and progress of the internet, the restless Qin Yue soon fell in love with interacting with fans through recording videos.
Barkley was invited as the first guest of "Qin's Sports Talk".
In the show, Barkley represented the broad fan base and asked Qin Yue many questions of current interest.
"Who do you think will become the MVP during this season when you're absent due to injury?"
"Emotionally, I would vote for LeBron," Qin Yue calmly analyzed, "but knowing Kobe, after losing the Olympics, he will have more motivation than anyone else."
"A fan wants to know, if you had to choose between Larry Bird and Charles Barkley as a teammate, who would you choose?"
"I would choose Charles Barkley without hesitation."
"I knew you would pick me," Barkley said happily, "that's why I love you."
"No, the reason I pick you is that Larry Bird would win a championship even without me," Qin Yue quipped, "but you're different, Charles, we all know you're a player without a championship ring."
After a pause, Qin Yue didn't forget to add more, "Winning a championship with you would further enhance my future historical status."
Hearing this, Barkley said, "I think my love for you has dropped from three thousand times a day to eight hundred times a day."
Then, Barkley asked, "According to an ESPN , you might wear a different number when you return from injury, is that true?"
"It's indeed true," Qin Yue nodded, "I've been thinking lately whether I need to change my jersey number to regain my good luck."
Barkley curiously asked, "What number are you planning to switch to?"
"77, if I'm changing to another number, it would definitely be 77," Qin Yue said firmly, "because to me, God gave 23 to Michael Jordan, and the remaining 77 belongs to me."
Barkley laughed heartily, "If that's the case, I can't wait to see you play in the number 77 jersey."
The first episode of "Qin's Sports Talk" had an astonishing number of views on YouTube.
Even Qin Yue's sponsors joked afterward about why he didn't give them a heads-up?
Because, in the eyes of Qin Yue's sponsors, this was a perfect opportunity for advertising.
Additionally, after the first episode of "Qin's Sports Talk" aired, Qin Yue's jersey sales also surged.
Because if Qin Yue switches to the number 77 jersey when he returns from injury, the number 30 Warriors jersey he wore for three seasons will inevitably become a limited edition.
Why does Qin Yue want to switch to the number 77 jersey?
Is it because he wants to leave the Warriors' number 30 jersey for that nephew he has had his eye on?
The answer is, of course, not.
Undoubtedly, given the achievements Qin Yue made wearing the number 30 jersey for the Warriors, even if he doesn't wear it, no one else will be qualified to wear it in the future.
In fact, Qin Yue's desire to change his jersey number is indeed related to his superstition about metaphysics.
In Qin Yue's previous life, Stephen Curry, who wore the number 30 jersey for the Warriors, basically spent his entire career with injuries.
Therefore, in Qin Yue's view, this jersey might have been cursed in some way.
As everyone knows, 100 minus 23 equals exactly 77.
In Qin Yue's view, wearing the number 77 jersey not only shows the world his ambition to surpass Jordan.
But also, once he achieves success, this number 77 jersey is bound to become another legendary number in the future NBA.
As for the famous Slovenian player Luka Doncic, known for wearing the number 77 jersey?
Asking without knowing, what does that have to do with Qin Yue?
Since Luca was born later, he naturally can only live in Qin Yue's shadow.
...
After the preseason games.
On October 30, the Warriors hosted the regular season opener at Oracle Arena.
Qin Yue watched this Warriors vs. Nuggets game through television at his East Bay mansion.
Although Qin Yue wanted to be present to cheer for his teammates...
But as someone with experience, Grover advised him, "Now, if you appear at Oracle Arena, it might only add unnecessary psychological pressure to your teammates."
Grover knew very well the importance of Qin Yue to the Warriors.
But it was precisely because Qin Yue's position in the hearts of Warriors fans was too high...
If by chance the team lost on the night he cheered for the Warriors, just imagine what kind of psychological pressure other Warriors players would face invisibly?
