Upon hearing this, Qin Yue first looked stunned, then took a breath.
Seeing this, Artest quickly asked, "You're not still holding a grudge against , are you?"
"How could I? Ron, even though we're no longer teammates, we will always be friends." After patting Artest on the shoulder, Qin Yue said, "Trust , your na will appear in the prominent parts."
At this mont, Artest, having received Qin Yue's promise, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However...
Turning his head, Qin Yue gave Kwa Brown a daunting task: "Rember to help think during halfti about where exactly to place Ron."
"Why ?" Brown asked curiously.
"Because I trust your writing style."
On the other side, known as the Clippers' biggest failed trade in recent years...
Having played only 11 gas for the Clippers in the 12/13 season with an annual salary of a whopping 15.8 million US Dollar, Baron Davis was busy flaunting his glorious past as the Warriors' second-in-command to young players like Curry.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. If Baron was reliable, pigs would climb trees."
Troy Murphy rcilessly exposed Davis's claims of taking credit that wasn't his.
This season, due to injury, Murphy, like Artest, had already prepared to say goodbye to the NBA.
Unexpectedly, in the upcoming new season, Murphy would accept the Warriors' invitation to return to the Bay Area as part of the team's managent.
As for the Warriors' fan-favorite "God Deng" Deng Liwei?
On the sidelines, while handing his cherished baseball bat to Jimmy Butler, Deng Liwei sighed, "Kobe was right; friends co and go, but the championship flag flies forever."
Friends co and go.
That night, it wasn't just Artest, Davis, Murphy, and Deng Liwei.
Players like Richardson, Biedrins, Nash, Hill, Bell, Big Ben, McRoberts, Bynum, Moro, who had once worn the Warriors' championship jersey, all ca at the Warriors managent's invitation.
Before the ga kicked off, the gigantic poster composed of players from the Warriors' "1.0," "2.0," and "3.0" eras brought fans from all over the world reminiscing about their lost youth.
At Oakland site, the legendary Bay Area sharpshooter Rick Barry said, "Ladies and gentlen, please give your applause to those players who have contributed imnsely to the Warriors in the past.
From 2005 to 2013, under the lead of that historical best player, they jointly created a great era."
When the fourth ga ended, Qin Yue still couldn't understand why Brown, more than anyone, hoped he could beco an undisputed GOAT, not wanting anyone in the future to dispute his place as GOAT.
But at this mont, Qin Yue already comprehended the weight of the phrase "Your greatness not only represents yourself but all the Warriors players of this era."
"You know, I'm from Latvia, and there's a saying in my hotown that says, 'One tree doesn't make a forest, one person doesn't make a country,' so no matter how many tis you ask , I'll tell you basketball is a sport for five people." By the way, in Biedrins' pre-ga interview, he said: "But I would also tell you, in the Bay Area, only the ssiah qualifies to lead everyone forward. He is a unique presence. In my mind, he is far superior to Michael Jordan."
Last sumr, Nash, who chose to return to Canada and start happy basketball in Toronto, said, "I think nobody can define ssiah's greatness, because in my view, his achievents so far already far surpass everyone else."
And Hill, who always displayed the image of a gentleman, said, "You know, in this era, being an enemy to the ssiah is the saddest thing because it ans choosing to be an enemy to God."
During the entrance ceremony.
Along with the golden wave that once terrified countless visiting teams starting to roll, this era belonging to the Warriors, nad Great Qin, also reached its climax.
In the center of the venue, about ten minutes later, the head referee Salvatore, known for fairness, walked to the center ring with the ball.
As Qin Yue previously expected.
After enduring the league's "balance" test, unable to guarantee the Knicks three consecutive gas, the league chose in the Finals Ga Five to let the ga return to itself.
Before the tip-off, the large screen on site promptly displayed the starting lineup for both teams.
Ho team Warriors: Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Green, Curry.
Away team Knicks: Howard, Love, Iguodala, Durant, Harden.
In the jump ball session, Qin Yue won the ball for the Warriors.
Amidst ho fans' cheering, Curry dribbled past half-court.
Next, as Qin Yue just circled to the high position to catch the ball, the Oakland fans went crazy, chanting "GOAT," "GOAT" for that figure who exists only in soone's fantasy.
TNT TV Station, Barkley said, "You might not believe it, China colleagues still asked before this ga started, whether, in my view, the ssiah indeed qualifies to stand alongside the historical Michael Jordan."
Beside him, O'Neal said, laughing and crying, "How did you answer them, Charles?"
Barkley shrugged, "I said, buddy, you should change the way you ask, because, in my eyes, Michael Jordan isn't fit to carry ssiah's shoes."
O'Neal laughed, "That's a very Charles Barkley answer."
The first attack.
Step over Howard.
No flashy techniques.
At the mont when Qin Yue soared, what the audience could feel was only the beauty nad "value."
Bam——!
Knicks' restricted area, Qin Yue smashed the fra.
CCTV, Yu Jia sighed regarding this, "As a Chinese fan, I think we are fortunate, yet unfortunate. Fortunate because we are lucky to witness Qin Yue's peak, but unfortunate because for the next Qin Yue to appear, we might have to wait fifty years, or even a hundred years."
Turning back, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.
Still in the shadow of the last ga's decisive mont, Harden, behind his domineering big beard appearance, hid an obviously uneasy face.
During the high-position pick-and-roll with Love, facing intense disruption from Qin Yue, Harden almost handed the ball over to Qin Yue.
Why almost?
Because according to so fans, when the pass side makes a mistake, they certainly bear so bla, but doesn't the player responsible for receiving the ball have a problem too?
Therefore, at this mont, even if Harden made a mistake, he shouldn't have to bear all the bla alone.
On the court, Qin Yue, having gratefully accepted Harden's gift, promptly dribbled and initiated a transition attack.
Like a fire-spewing dragon, he dribbled all the way to the frontcourt, single-handedly slamming a dunk.
Imdiately, it was still the Knicks' ball.
Under Curry's one-on-one defense, Harden found it hard to dribble calmly, his heart nad timid battle lizard laid bare before the world.
In Qin Yue's past life, people always said the brother's fate wasn't good.
But is there a possibility...
Before blaming his bad luck, Harden should first reflect on his heart that collapses easily when it reaches the direst mont?
To say the least, this finals series, from the fourth ga's fourth quarter, Harden had beco a mole on the Warriors' side.
Don't ask.
If you ask, then in helping his contemporaries ascend the throne, Jas Harden might as well be called Jas.
On the court, seeing that Harden was unreliable, Iguodala hurriedly called for the ball.
However, that night...
Among the Knicks players wavering before the battle, clearly, Harden wasn't the only one.
Warriors' restricted area.
Howard's weak and powerless fra attack was imdiately thwarted by Brown's ruthless interception.
This finals series, having worked tirelessly for the team all year, Howard, as the championship got further away...
Plus being endlessly pounded by Qin Yue during the ga.
At this mont, Howard now only wished to end the ga quickly and go ho.
For fans still hoping for the Knicks' triumph, this was undoubtedly a scene full of despair.
Because in this Ga Five of the finals...
Right at the ga's start, the Knicks showed signs of crumbling.
TNT TV Station, Barkley shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Looks like we can congratulate the Warriors ahead of ti."
Beside him, O'Neal echoed, "The facts proved in New York, losing two gas consecutively, the Knicks lost more than just the gas themselves."
"Additionally, they lost their confidence to continue competing with the Warriors."
