This season in the regular games, Curry only played one and a half games due to injury, but in his playoff debut this year, he delivered an outstanding performance with 41 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Thanks to Curry's excellent play, the Warriors also scored 141 points in their playoff Game 1 against the Pelicans.

After the game, Brown, who went 7-for-7 and also contributed a lot of assists for Qin Yue, said in the interview: "You know, although I like watching 'Great Qin' score on the court, I prefer 'Great Qin' to switch on the passing button and play."

It can be said that the defending champions used just one game to make their series against the Pelicans lose all suspense.

And as a standout among the new generation of point guards, when even Rondo, who is expected to be part of the best defensive lineup, cannot effectively limit Curry on the court...

"Limit? His teammate is the Messiah, how can I limit him?"

At a press conference, when asked by reporters why he was blown away by the "ninth point guard in the league," Rondo simply said, "If you think you can do better, go ahead."

In Rondo's eyes, regardless of Curry's star status,

Take the course of this game for example, it seems Curry only completed three assists on the court, but in reality, as long as Curry ran over and did a pick-and-roll with Qin Yue, the Pelicans' defense would instantly collapse.

Why?

Because a highly accurate Curry, and a Great Qin who cannot be easily stopped even when double-teamed, always produce an "effect of 1+1>2" on the court.

In Rondo's view, the most terrifying aspect of the complete Warriors is that Qin Yue can amplify Curry's strengths, and Curry can also create the space Qin Yue most needs.

No doubt.

It's a duo of inside and outside that leaves Rondo deeply despairing.

And unlike the "OK" combination of the past.

Qin Yue and Curry not only look like a loving couple on the court.

Furthermore, off the court, Curry knows Qin Yue will eventually hand over the scepter to him, and is far more obedient than Kobe back then.

Now, rewind time to last season's celebration banquet and you'll find...

Back then, Qin Yue informed his teammates of his career plan from the start, already eliminating potential within-team conflicts before they arose.

In fact, Qin Yue, having been through this before, knew better than anyone that ESPN's seemingly nonsensical assessments of Curry this season were an attempt by the league to provoke a conflict between him and Curry similar to the "OK" ordeal of the past.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue is not O'Neal who held onto power and refused to let go.

And an ambitious Curry, upon learning of Qin Yue's career plan, also accepted the crown Qin Yue passed to him.

"You can't stir up discord between me and the Messiah."

In a post-game press conference, facing many reporters with ulterior motives in their questions, Curry responded, "Maybe the Warriors will become my team in the future, but before 'Great Qin' retires, the Warriors can only be his team."

In competitive sports, the transfer of power has always been a tough issue.

But faced with Qin Yue's wisdom and Curry's high emotional intelligence, the league obviously picked the wrong rivals to cause trouble for the Warriors off-court.

Game 1, the Warriors easily crushed the Pelicans; two days later at Oracle Arena, they again scored high with 138 points.

In this game, Qin Yue didn't shoot much, only scoring 27 points.

But in this Game 2, Qin Yue's rebounds and assists shined with 24 and 21 respectively.

It is worth mentioning this is the second time in Qin Yue's career he achieved an "20+20+20" in the NBA playoffs.

TNT TV Station, led by O'Neal who loves shooting guards since he brought talent to the commentary table, defended Curry saying: "I don't agree with ESPN's assessment that the Warriors can win without Stephen, because facts prove, the Warriors with Stephen are undisputable super team."

In O'Neal's eyes, a Great Qin alongside Curry is clearly the most terrifying Great Qin.

Because it's only with Curry's presence that Qin Yue can unleash his unpredictable passing to enhance his offensive impact on the court.

Especially in the NBA playoffs where the "Qin Yue's Law" is reinstated.

If the Warriors solely depend on Qin Yue's explosions every game to win, then when facing teams that can contend with the Warriors, Qin Yue will inevitably face exhaustion and burnout.

Agreeing with O'Neal, Smith said: "Maybe, Stephen's star status still needs more games to verify, but he is indeed an indispensable member of this Warriors team."

In the playoffs' first round, Curry continued his hotness into the third game following two strong performances.

How to describe Curry's performance that night?

Simply put, Curry went 10-for-14 from three-point range, while also breaking the Pelicans players' mentality and turning the New Orleans venue into a home game for the Warriors.

From the start of the second half, whenever Curry received the ball, the home fans would rise and cheer for him uncontrollably.

This is exactly the natural magic power of Curry in Qin Yue's memory.

However, despite this...

ESPN still attributed the main credit for the Warriors' win in the third game to Qin Yue, who easily achieved a "30+" triple-double for the team that night.

Moreover, ESPN evaluated with reason, "Without Stephen, the Messiah is still the Messiah. But without the Messiah, can Stephen still be Stephen?"

Admittedly, ESPN's strategy of sowing discord is quite clever.

But since his return, Curry, who has clearly noticed all major media long-term collaborating with NBA officials trying to stir trouble between him and Qin Yue, did not fall into the same trap as Kobe did back then.

"Of course 'Great Qin' is our number one contributor to victory because all our tactics and offenses are centered around him." After the third game, Curry stated this during an interview.

This series, Curry's steady response to the media has already turned those trying to sow discord between the Warriors' number one and number two into jesters.

As for Anthony Davis, waiting in the uninhabited corner about to be "shaved" by Qin Yue?

Before the fourth game against the Warriors, AD, feeling helpless about the Pelicans facing a sweep, just wants to say...

Why, just out of the rookie village, needing time to develop and grow, does he have to face a boss-level figure like Qin Yue?

Although under AD's pleas, Qin Yue already reduced the intensity of his "big coverage" against AD in this series.

But in young AD's view, the world hardly knows what kind of harm Qin Yue's "big coverage" inflicted on him at such a young age.

Thus, after the fourth match still without suspense was over, Davis could only vent his frustration competing for Qin Yue's jersey, shorts, shoes, and even socks.

"'AD,' you have to at least leave me my underwear, as you can't let me return to the locker room naked." After the fourth game, in the player's tunnel, facing Davis who almost stripped him naked, Qin Yue said with mixed emotions.

"Promise me, you must win the championship."

And looking straight into Qin Yue's eyes, AD sincerely requested.

At that moment, AD earnestly hoped Qin Yue would sweep opponent after opponent in the upcoming matches.

Because if everyone gets "shaved" by Great Qin...

Then in AD's view, it's like he hasn't been "shaved" by Great Qin.

"This kid has already been hit psychologically by you." After Davis left, Brown said to Qin Yue.

Hearing this, Qin Yue nodded and said, "But he is indeed an honest kid."

"How do you know?"

"Because he clearly could have blamed his teammates for the team being swept, but as a Rookie, he still shouldered the responsibility for the team exiting swept without hesitation."

"Why do I feel like you're insinuating someone?"

"Insinuating who?"

"Haven't you seen the news?" Looking at Qin Yue who is obsessed with playing DOTA lately, Brown said, "LeBron's friend Randy Mims just said yesterday that the Wolves shouldn't blame LeBron for the team's bottom ranking."

"Then who does he think should take responsibility for the Wolves' last place?"

"In his view, players like Yi should at least bear part of the responsibility."

"Yi Jianlian?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Unbelievable.

At that moment, Qin Yue feels that Yi Jianlian is also doing well.

Because as a functional player used by the Wolves to attract the Chinese market...

Who ever thought...

Yi Jianlian being a teammate of James could have a day to take the blame for James?
