Madison Square Garden, Qin Yue's return, his first play immediately scoring with a pull-up shot at the free-throw line, felt like a roar against unfair destiny.
At that moment, if every fan's heart in the venue was shocked,
then every Warriors fan watching on TV felt blood surging.
"This is not just an ordinary jump shot score."
On TNT TV Station, Barkley said, "This is the God of Basketball wielding the sword of a king."
In the NBA, to what extent must a player achieve to be called the GOAT and God?
Without a doubt.
This night, Qin Yue was the best answer.
In the match, facing utterly unfair judgement calls, there was no complaint, no gesturing, nor any kneeling to fate.
On the court, whenever the team was in trouble, you could always believe that Great Qin would lead the Warriors back into the game.
Moreover, at this moment, in the previously hostile New York, when the fans on-site started sincerely applauding and cheering for Qin Yue.
If you don't understand, ask: if this Great Qin is not God, who else in the NBA deserves such a title?
In the next play, Qin Yue was still in charge of distributing ball possession for the Warriors.
Howard's defense did not reveal any flaws.
On the flank, Curry's attempts to close in on Qin Yue also couldn't shake off Iguodala with his running.
Then, in the moment when everyone speculated on how Qin Yue would execute this attack...
Ball release and speed up, sudden stop, step back, ball handling and speed up again.
In the face of Qin Yue's unbelievable Human-Ball Integration ability, Howard, who had been tormented by Qin Yue all night, instantly lost physical balance.
For this, O'Neal exclaimed, "This is another play from an Alien, Messiah inexplicably rid of Dwight's defense!"
Smith stared in amazement at Qin Yue's stats and said, "Up till now, Messiah has scored 48 points for the Warriors. Will he stage a consecutive game performance of '60+' in the finals?"
In the NBA, what kind of concept is consecutive finals games '60+'?
Simply put...
The current Qin Yue completely qualifies to say "Jordan nothing."
Let's go back, Knicks' offense.
Durant timely responded to the GOAT in Gundam Form.
Utilizing Howard's screen, Durant efficiently made a pull-up shot and scored.
It must be said, Durant's offensive stability at this point in history is indeed peerless.
However, before the home crowd could celebrate Durant's reply, on the forecourt, Qin Yue caught a pass from Curry and plunged the entire arena back into silence.
Ball reception, acceleration.
Taking advantage to pierce through the Knicks defense.
Even during the jump, he was sandwiched between Howard and Love.
But...
Bang—!
The next second, Qin Yue, with an unstoppable momentum, slammed the ball forcefully into the basket.
On the Knicks bench, having thought that with five All-Star players in formation, they wouldn't end up like those Western coaches who were envious of Ma Long's D'Antoni, instinctively smashed the tactical board onto the floor.
Clearly, Qin Yue's powerful ability to independently resolve the situation in his rampage mode has radically altered D'Antoni's understanding of the sport of basketball.
In D'Antoni's eyes, at this moment, Qin Yue seemed like a god creating the world, he spoke of light, thus giving light to the world.
3:35 left in the game, the Knicks's repeated attempts to counter the game were being repelled by Qin Yue alone.
The score on the board, 117 to 112.
For the Knicks, the good news is, ultimately, Qin Yue forged of flesh and blood, missed twice in the last three plays, proving through action that he still belongs to the human realm.
But the bad news is, in the entire fourth quarter game, Harden, who hides better than Paul, was becoming the straw breaking Durant's back.
In the NBA, if you always can trust Paul to falter at key moments.
Then Harden, you can choose to rely on him continuing to play timidly at crucial moments.
In Qin Yue's past life...
Even until Qin Yue crossed over, Harden never managed to prove the stereotyped impression people had of him at critical times was wrong.
On the court, Knicks' attacking play.
Although head referee Foster was ready to blow the whistle for Harden at any time.
Yet in the instance of driving into the Warriors' penalty area, Harden still disappointingly chose to pass the ball back to Love.
At this moment, how to describe the scene?
About nine words suffice:
——Harden, see, we were right again.
Fortunately, amidst misfortune, regardless of past or present life, Love's capability to accept responsibility can only be described as outstanding. He stood on the three-point line and made this crucial basket for the Knicks.
Although, Love was unable to completely retreat from the three-point line while shooting.
Still, as long as they scored, this remains a basket preserving hope for victory for the Knicks.
Next, it's the Warriors' turn to attack.
Qin Yue, at full speed, simultaneously attracted defensive attention from Durant and Iguodala on both sides.
Seeing this, Qin Yue didn't rush to pass.
Instead, he continued driving forward, and after confirming Iguodala wouldn't be able to return, only then did he pass the ball to Curry waiting at the right corner.
As a shooter, the corners have always been the hot zones where Curry has the highest shooting percentage.
In Curry's long future career, his three-point shooting percentage in these two regions is close to 50%.
