Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 415 - 138 Now is Mine, the Future is Mine Too (10,000 characters compilation, beg for subscription and monthly votes!)_5
Qin Yue, who caught the ball near the mid-circle LOGO area, originally intended to use his signature Double-Crossover to shake off Vallejo, but just as he instructed his teammates to clear the half-court for him...
Feeling his heart pounding, he suddenly changed his mind.
So, after gesturing to Brown one last time that he didn’t need a screen, Qin Yue, standing on the Quicken Loans Arena mid-circle LOGO, immediately pulled up for a shot.
Seeing Qin Yue’s shooting motion, Barkley instantly held his head and exclaimed, "This is just crazy!"
Whether it was sorrow or sadness.
The Cavaliers fans immersed in sorrow at the moment also thought...
This three-pointer from Qin Yue made no sense at all.
But the Los Angeles people wouldn’t find this scene unfamiliar.
Because this always ruthless devil had already used such a horrifying method to finish a game on the night he shredded the Lakers fans’ souls for the second time.
Swish—!
At Quicken Loans Arena, when reason was destroyed, when souls were torn apart, Charles Barkley announced to the whole nation: "The Messiah at this moment has officially surpassed Elgin Baylor! With an intercontinental missile shot from the moon to Earth, he completely shattered the city of Cleveland!"
Even before the third quarter ended, Qin Yue had scored an unbelievable 62 points!
It should be noted...
When Qin Yue scored his 62nd point, the entire Cavaliers team had only scored 57 points that night.
If the earlier suggestion from Rich Paul made James reignite his fighting spirit and find a way to compete with Qin Yue, then at this moment, all of James’s ambitions were ruthlessly stripped away by Qin Yue.
When Qin Yue made that intercontinental missile, James was standing in the best spot to view it.
He witnessed firsthand the moment Qin Yue turned Cleveland to ashes.
He participated in the entire process of Qin Yue demolishing the entire Cleveland.
That moment convinced James that Qin Yue was the insurmountable peak he could never overcome.
And the course of the game left James unprecedentedly powerless and deeply despairing.
Afterward, the game continued.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown chose not to wallow in the pain for his main players and withdrew all the starters after the third quarter.
The Warriors’ bench.
Upon learning of the decision that Qin Yue wouldn’t play in the fourth quarter, Kwame Brown stomped in frustration and said, "This is the Finals! You can’t waste your prime form, trust me, you have the chance tonight to create a record that will be unmatched in the future!"
Hearing this, Qin Yue, who had scored 67 points for the Warriors in the first three quarters and even casually broke the NBA playoff single-game scoring record held by Michael Jordan, just calmly said, "I’ve done my job excellently, I won’t play in garbage time."
Everyone has their principles.
Even if this is the Finals, Qin Yue won’t violate his principles.
For Qin Yue, the data accumulated during garbage time holds no honor at all.
Even if such data is recognized by the world, it wouldn’t be acknowledged by himself.
Moreover, after a pause, Qin Yue didn’t forget to remind Brown, "Who told you that my form tonight is at its best?"
"..."
Qin Yue didn’t appear in the fourth quarter.
But the records he left in the first three quarters of the Finals Game 4 shook the basketball world to its core.
All fans were curious about what kind of record Qin Yue could have set in the NBA Finals if he had played in the fourth quarter that night.
This is a game that will inevitably be repeatedly mentioned by people in the future.
However, when the fourth quarter buzzer sounded, compared to the memorable moments in the game, the Warriors players finishing their championship defense in Cleveland were clearly the main characters.
Final score, 134 to 89.
In four Finals games, with a total point difference of 155 points over the Cavaliers, the Warriors won the NBA championship for the second consecutive year with a 4-0 sweep!
Approximately four thousand kilometers away at the Oakland Oracle Arena, Warriors legend Rick Barry jubilantly exclaimed, "We are the world champions! We are world champions again! We are always the world champions!"
Putting down the cup of coffee he had held the entire quarter, Ma Long excitedly rushed in front of Qin Yue, embracing him tenderly, "Damn! You easily made me a championship coach, how can I ever improve?"
"Mike, you still have plenty of room for improvement." As the Finals concluded, having completely rid himself of that resentment, Qin Yue finally liberated himself from that manic state, "Next, you can set Phil Jackson as your goal."
Ma Long said disdainfully, "That old fox just got lucky!"
Even though Jackson, the highest peak among current NBA active coaches, already holds nine championship rings, Qin Yue found...
In this era, it’s hard to find a single coach who acknowledges him.
Almost every coach, when talking about Jackson, simplifies his success to the fact that he coached Jordan, O’Neal, and Kobe one after another.
Qin Yue wasn’t interested in discussing with Ma Long whether Jackson was merely lucky.
After hugging Ma Long, he immediately turned and joined the ongoing championship celebration.
And as for the players from the Cleveland Cavaliers, hosts of the Quicken Loans Arena?
Eric Snow, who was always proud to play for Cleveland, after calmly accepting everything, started to cry loudly only when he returned to the locker room.
