However, even though Qin Yue is eager to continue growing through training...

Grover specifically gave him a few days of vacation.

The reason is...

"Even Michael Jordan needed a balance between work and rest.

Training is meant to help you grow, not to injure you through torture." That day, with Qin Yue eager to continue being pushed to his limits, Grover said with a serious expression.

As a legendary trainer, if excessive training intensity leads to the ruin of a talented young player's career, where would Grover's reputation go?

When devising a training plan for Qin Yue earlier, Grover broke down the contents into several major phases and numerous small stages, precisely because he understood that Qin Yue's body needed recovery between each stage.

Thus, like this...

During the vacation approved by Grover, Qin Yue couldn't resist Paul's persuasion, so he went along with his good buddy to the Bahamas.

And waiting for him and Paul there was...

The initiator of this Bahamas gathering:

LeBron James.

And...

Carmelo Anthony, who was also invited by James to relax together.

Upon arriving in the Bahamas with Paul, when Qin Yue was placed on a banana boat by James and Anthony on either side, he curiously asked, "Did you not invite Dwyane Wade to this gathering?"

By 2004, the friendship between Wade, James, and Anthony was no longer a secret.

So James and Anthony weren't surprised by Qin Yue's curiosity. Instead, they both replied in unison, "Dwyane wasn't invited because he's not a good fit, so we specifically excluded him from this gathering."

At this moment, Qin Yue was still perplexed.

Because he didn't understand...

What terrible thing did "Cheeky Hero" Wade do to earn such a label?

Watching Qin Yue, Anthony, meeting him for the first time today, patted his solid abs and said, "That guy even made it to the semifinals in this year's playoffs...

Someone like him should stay in Miami and reflect on himself!"

Upon hearing this, LeBron, who didn't even make the playoffs this year, laughed and said, "Absolutely, he should be left alone in Miami!"

Actually, the reason James didn't invite Wade to this gathering was mainly because "Cheeky Hero," who had just ended the playoff journey with the Heat, needed some personal time to adjust.

But since they didn't consider Qin Yue an outsider...

James and Anthony openly complained to Qin Yue about Wade's disregard for their situation—one exiting in the first playoff round, the other not making it at all—and getting to the second round himself.

"Hey, buddy, I read about you in the papers.

But... to be honest, your strength surpasses my imagination." Looking at Qin Yue's knife-sculpted muscles, Anthony commented.

Compared to the offensive powerhouse Qin Yue remembered in the future...

Anthony, just ending his rookie season, could only be described as slim.

Plus Qin Yue's genuine height made Anthony appear...

Like a young melon plant in front of Qin Yue.

Like Anthony, James at this period didn't have the strength he would have in the future in Qin Yue's memory.

But unlike Anthony's focus...

What made James happier today was that Qin Yue finally accepted his invitation.

Previously, when heading to Wake Forest to support Paul, James intended to recruit Qin Yue.

Now, James's intention to win over Qin Yue was more obvious.

Because with the article in The New York Times, Qin Yue had significantly risen in status.

James understood the potential of the Chinese market behind Qin Yue and knew the importance of befriending these contemporary talents.

"Qin, no matter what you need next...

Whether you want to learn about the NBA or need a friend to chat with when you're bored, I'm happy to help."

That day, on the banana boat, James offered Qin Yue his brotherly support.
