After the draft ended, as is customary, Qin Yue joined this year's selected rookies to attend the so-called "NBA Safety Education Classes."

However, this five-day safety education class...

In Qin Yue's view, it clearly seemed more like a crash course in the dark history of the Los Angeles Lakers.

When explaining to the players that "the free things are the most expensive," the NBA staff responsible for teaching didn't shy away from mentioning Magic Johnson's name.

And quoted from former Lakers player Ron Carter's memoir from the late 70s: "Please never doubt your charm...

Even if you're the most inconspicuous fringe player on the team, those who have ulterior motives towards you will crazily pounce on you."

In the late 70s, Ron Carter once said in an interview that whenever the Lakers went for away games, he would always wait by the hotel phone.

"The women were very proactive, too proactive... They always knew where we stayed and would wait there before we returned to the hotel...

They even held our team lineup asking, 'Can I chat with Magic Johnson?' 'Can I have a heart-to-heart with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?' Yes, they would read the team roster name by name.

Of course, we all knew they were there to catch a Lakers player. I usually felt disappointed because my name typically appeared 11th.

Magic Johnson and the others would just put the receiver aside when they returned to the hotel, but I had to stay by the phone because if resources ran over, my chance would come, especially in New York and Philadelphia, I always had an opportunity."

In the 70s and 80s, many NBA coaches often said that one of the reasons for the Lakers' long-standing success was their team's "sex culture."

In short, in the NBA, apart from those carrying a Bible wherever they went to resist temptation like A.C. Green, even those known as good people often couldn't keep their pants up.

Thus, as more and more NBA stars made mistakes with the issue of pants...

Each year before the rookies sign with teams, the league would arrange professionals to guide these young players on how to correctly handle these matters.

Especially after Kobe's incident in Eagle County erupted.

The NBA's safety education classes gained a vivid case study.

"We all know the girl named Catherine Feibel was after Kobe Bryant's wallet, so please be aware...

During dates, always, always make the appropriate safety precautions, and always keep a skeptical mind when dating.

There's never a free lunch in this world... and the cost of 'free' often exceeds what you can imagine."

In class, besides detailing how to keep one's pants up...

Next, the league also invited professionals to guide these young players entering the NBA on how to correctly manage their wallets.

However, during this financial management class...

Qin Yue noticed...

Except for a few players, most of the young players in class were nodding off.

It turned out that no matter how well-intentioned the NBA was...

They still couldn't prevent millionaire after millionaire from going bankrupt post-retirement and living in poverty.

In some sense, this safety education class even had a counterproductive effect.

Because earlier during the pants management class, Qin Yue found many young players were interested in the scenes painted by the league staff.

Those illustrations showing their allure to that group of flesh.

This is the NBA.

As the top commercial league in the basketball world, beneath its glamorous exterior lies filth and grime everywhere.

Qin Yue and Paul were the two most attentive students in this safety education class.

The former, although never thinking of taking the abstinent path, always had high pursuits for his personal life in that regard.

As for the latter?

Having grown up with good family education and firm beliefs, the latter always thought A.C. Green was the exemplar and model for NBA players.

Shortly after the league's safety education classes ended, on July 7th, bidding farewell to Paul, the "Elf Mouse"...

"The Overlord" Qin Yue officially signed a four-year, final year team option rookie contract with the Warriors, valued at 20 million US dollars.

After taxes and a 4% fee paid to Schwartz...

Qin Yue's annual salary income will exceed 2 million US dollars.

In 2005, this was quite a substantial income.

Additionally, because this summer, after much deliberation, the Chinese Men's Basketball Team decided to bring Qin Yue into the roster, on the signing day, Mulin also officially announced Qin Yue would not represent the Warriors in this summer's league.

As a famous verification step in the NBA...

The Warriors no longer needed Qin Yue to prove himself through the summer league.

By comparison, if Qin Yue could perform excellently in the Asian Championship, the Warriors might receive more support from the Chinese market in the new season.

And, Qin Yue didn't need to worry playing in the Asian Championship would affect his upcoming special training.

Because upon learning the Chinese Basketball Association planned to recruit Qin Yue into the team...

Having completed the internal integration of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team with a towel smash at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, Yao Ming would train with Qin Yue before Qin Yue heads to Doha in September to join the national team.
