"Yes, Messiah has a once-in-history talent for basketball," O'Neal said, still amazed by Qin Yue's perfect defense just now.
In Madison Square Garden, if you ask Knicks fans when they began to truly believe that Durant does not have the potential to surpass Qin Yue,
it undoubtedly was on this night.
Because at this moment, Qin Yue, showcasing his prowess in both offense and defense, was not only displaying his own talent but also demonstrating to the world the vast gap between him and his contemporaries.
On the court, to ensure a high success rate in offense.
When Qin Yue actively positioned himself in the low post, pushed Howard aside on the inside, and scored in front of Love and Durant's help defense.
Even the "wizards" of New York, who had cursed Qin Yue madly before the game, couldn't help but start cheering and applauding this new-age GOAT.
At this moment, as the first chant of "MVP" rang out for Qin Yue.
The boos that filled the arena whenever Qin Yue had the ball were instantly overshadowed by continuous exclamations of amazement.
On CCTV, Yu Jia remarked with emotion: "Conquering the mind is superior to conquering the city. In this game, Qin Yue, leading the Warriors to invade Madison Square Garden, not only silenced the Knicks fans with his actions but also completely conquered the city of New York."
During a Warriors' half-court, it was a Knicks offensive possession.
To prevent Harden from creating fouls by using deliberate arm entanglement during a drive, Qin Yue simply clasped his hands behind his back until Harden attempted the shot, then he decisively blocked Harden's layup against the backboard.
For this, Wallace, who had endured for most of the game, immediately led the Warriors' bench in frantically waving towels for Qin Yue.
This defense didn't even give the referee a chance to call a balanced viewpoint.
Thus, Harden, who feigned tottering on offense just now, naturally became the Joker.
"See clearly, this guy who can't even dribble properly is the one you constantly send to the free-throw line." On the court, after the block fell, Qin Yue said this to the referee.
And upon hearing this...
Although Harden wanted to say that Qin Yue's view of him was not objective enough.
But in front of Qin Yue's textbook-worthy defense, Harden could only choose to bear it silently.
Back to the Warriors' offense.
Once again, it was Qin Yue.
On the perimeter, the exhausted Howard intended to use a foul to stop Qin Yue's advance.
But the "Qin Yue's Law," originally devised to limit Qin Yue, unexpectedly backfired at this moment.
Because the referee didn't blow the whistle, Howard could only watch helplessly as Qin Yue, unstoppable, charged into the Knicks' basket, delivering a thunderous two-handed dunk that left the Knicks' rim trembling.
At the scorer's table, noticing how Qin Yue single-handedly expanded the lead again, D'Antoni had no choice but to hurriedly call a timeout.
During the timeout, on the Warriors' bench.
While obediently handing a sports drink to Qin Yue.
Curry, who was having a poor performance this game, was also inwardly pondering a question.
That is...
Will he truly have the ability to receive the baton from Qin Yue in the future?
Obviously, Curry, who has always been self-aware, doesn't believe he has such ability.
Especially on this night when Qin Yue, with his unparalleled dominance, led the Warriors to make the whistle-advantaged Knicks struggle for breath.
Curry couldn't imagine what kind of devastating defeat the Warriors would face this evening without Qin Yue.
So, he shelved the desire named proving himself.
Now, if you need to ask Curry what his life's pursuit is.
He definitely would tell you.
He just wants to lie like a salted fish in Qin Yue's embrace and cling to Qin Yue's leg tightly.
What life pursuit?
What fame and success?
Sorry, in Curry's eyes, even the peak Jordan would have to obediently kneel before Qin Yue tonight.
After the timeout, the game continued.
In comparison to Qin Yue, Durant, having the nascent form of "Heaven's Abandoned Son," missed an outside shot.
Then, galloping through New York.
Having been observing Ray Allen with the corner of his eye, Qin Yue immediately delivered a perfect pass to Ray Allen.
In basketball, what kind of pass can be called perfect?
Of course, it's the pass that allows the shooter to shoot immediately after receiving the ball.
From the corner, feeling his rhythm picked up from the moment he caught the ball, Ray Allen seemed to shoot like he was in regular training.
And on the scoreboard, the score gap between the Nix and Warriors widened to double digits.
In front of the TV, "Heaven's Abandoned Son" James, received a comment during the fourth quarter of this game, which he found a rare moment of fairness from the broadcasting duo on TNT TV Station.
"So, what's the difference between 'KD' and LeBron?"
"No difference, or rather, in this era, no one before the Messiah deserves to be called a superstar."
In the fourth quarter, with Durant shooting 8 times and making 3, and Harden, who was so rattled that he didn't dare to shoot, with 3 attempts and 0 makes, it was destined they couldn't lead the Knicks to defeat these Warriors who've rallied around the GOAT due to Qin Yue's rampage.
Final score, 125 to 110.
With the disadvantage of a free throw disparity of 18 to 46, relying on Qin Yue's total of 61 points, 24 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 blocks, and 3 steals, the Warriors triumphed over the Knicks in Madison Square Garden and successfully regained home-court advantage in this final series.
The finals "60+20+10+5".
On this night, as Qin Yue became the first player in NBA history to achieve this extraordinary stat line in the finals, even those who have notoriously criticized Qin Yue had to disguise themselves as his fans and kneel before this God of Basketball.
The entire sports world was shaken by Qin Yue's nuclear-level performance in Game 3.
Post-game interview, Kwame Brown exclaimed in amazement, "You asked me why God doesn't agree to redeem New York? Do you even need to ask, brother? Because God is wearing the Warriors' number 77 jersey on the court!"
"Yes, that's right, we won this game because of Messiah."
At the press conference, an emotional Malone said, "I really don't want to say it a second time, Messiah is the best player the basketball world has ever seen! Even if you put ten Michael Jordans in front of me, they're not worth even a single hair of Messiah! Mind you, I said a single hair!"
"This has undoubtedly been the worst game I've performed in the playoffs so far." Additionally, Curry, who scored a total of 8 points in the finals after shooting 13 times and making 3, including two free throws, said in an interview, "Yet even in such a state, I still became a winner with Messiah."
It has to be said...
Even though Curry had a script similar to the one James remembered.
But Curry, born in the same hospital as James, was distinctly luckier.
Why?
Because some people score 8 points in a finals game with only Zhao Yun beside them.
While others score 8 points with a matchless overlord standing next to them.
At the Knicks' press conference, Durant was broken.
On this night, serving as the backdrop for Qin Yue, excluding free throws, Durant became inevitably a target of post-game criticism, shooting 9 out of 29 field goals.
At the press conference, questions from reporters across the country that broke Durant were as follows:
"'KD', in a situation where the free throw total nearly tripled that of the Warriors, can you tell us why the Knicks, receiving heavy support from the referees, still couldn't match the Warriors?"
"'KD', as a player who always receives preferential treatment from referees on court, in your view, how many free throws would it take for the Knicks to defeat this Warriors team?"
"'KD', some experts believe that if LeBron received the same treatment as you, he definitely could have done better in this game. What's your take on this?"
What's his take?
What else could Durant say?
Right now he...
Just wants to destroy this utterly frustrating world!

PS: Although late, the extra update has arrived. (Who would've thought it would take an all-nighter to write this chapter, but finally it's here. At least, Ah Qiao is still more reliable than a national football team that has made Qiao wait 24 years. It's truly unbelievable, has it really been 24 years since the national team last reached the World Cup finals?)
