Upon hearing this, Qin Yue said to Artest, "As a teammate I wouldn’t, but as a friend, I’ve long forgiven you."
Seeing this, Artest forced a smile and said, "I hope you can lead this Warriors team to a three-peat. I’m truly sorry I can’t accompany you to the very end."
After a pause, Artest sighed, "If only I had listened to you earlier and gotten that damn surgery, how great would that have been?"
The former deputy of the Bay Area thus embarked on a journey to Charlotte with regret and remorse, but also with Qin Yue’s forgiveness.
Alongside him, Biedrins left with anticipation for the new team and a hope to gain more opportunities to showcase himself on the court.
Friends come and go, only the flag of the championship waves in the wind.
Three days later.
When Gerald Wallace, the new deputy of the Bay Area, who chose number 45 for the Warriors, arrived in Oakland, he delivered an incredibly satisfying debut in the Warriors versus Suns game that evening.
On both offense and defense, Wallace was everywhere, completely liberating Qin Yue, who had been both a father and a mother since the start of the regular season.
In the first offensive play of the game, "Afro Gerald" cut through the middle, completing his first connection with Qin Yue in his Warriors career.
This spectacular windmill dunk even earned nine points in the heart of Richardson, the dunk king.
Richardson deducted one point from Wallace to prevent him from becoming too proud.
Immediately after.
Under the joint defense of Brown, Qin Yue, and Wallace, the always awe-inspiring Stoudemire used his method of "if I enter the paint even once, I lose" to prove his respect for the Warriors’ interior.
Ultimately, in that evening’s game, Wallace scored 20 points, had 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block on 12 of 7 shooting, with 0 for 1 from three-point range and 6 for 8 from free throws.
After the game, Wallace, joining the defending champions with ambition, said in an interview: "I think I’m absolutely destined for Messiah; I’ll do my utmost to assist this young king of the Bay Area."
Although Wallace, in the honeymoon period after the trade with the Warriors, needs more games to prove whether he is worthy of the new deputy title of the Bay Area.
But with his generous personality and inherent humility, Wallace quickly integrated into the team within just a few days.
In Qin Yue’s memory, Wallace has always been the pride of the people in his hometown of Childersburg, Alabama.
Because after retiring, this player, who only wants to watch his children play and be with family, is not only a good father but also a neighbor who loves life.
His toughness and ferocity on the court are just his style of play.
Privately, Wallace is more like a shy big boy.
Of course... 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
After gradually getting to know each other, Wallace also showed his exceptionally unique hobbies to the teammates in the locker room.
January 28th.
The Warriors are playing against the Nuggets at home.
Before the game, Wallace cautiously walked into the locker room and then meticulously asked each teammate if they had noticed any suspicious characters.
To this, Richardson wondered: "What is Gerald doing?"
What was Wallace doing?
After obtaining permission from his teammates and carefully checking their belongings, Wallace suddenly said, "Through my diligent work, I’ve eliminated the possibility of a terrorist attack."
"..."
As a young man aspiring to become an FBI agent, clearly, what Wallace just performed was...
A spy game that couldn’t be more childish.
Though many teammates found Wallace’s childish behavior bewildering.
But afterward, Qin Yue laughed: "With Gerald around, you’d better keep any inappropriate items out of the locker room."
Upon hearing this, Brown swiftly hid several of his cherished porn magazines at a speed that was lightning quick.
"Agent 45" Wallace continued his impressive performance in his second game as a Warrior.
Under Wallace’s full defense, Anthony, who averaged 28.1 points per game for the Nuggets this season, contributed an impeccable iron-clad report of 21 shots with 7 makes...
It indirectly demonstrated how successful Wallace’s defense was in the game.
And with Wallace acquired through the trade, the Warriors seemed to have regained their dominance on the court overnight.
The victorious Warriors officially returned to the upper part of the Western Conference early in February.
Although before the New Orleans All-Star weekend, the Warriors in February still had several heavyweight matchups to play, including against the Lakers, Celtics, and Supersonic.
Compared to the previous grueling stretch, Wallace’s arrival has allowed the Warriors supporters to see hope for the Warriors to once again sweep all these former defeated foes into the trash bin during matches.
February 7th.
At Oracle Arena, the Warriors kicked off their hellish schedule before the All-Star weekend with an exhilarating victory.
That night, the visiting Dallas Mavericks were oppressed by the Warriors from the beginning to the end of the game.
The German gummy bear Nowitzki, labeled a "softie" by Qin Yue, scored 36 points and 9 rebounds for the Mavericks yet was powerless to reverse the situation.
After the game, the Mavericks management officially announced that "Little General" Avery Johnson would no longer be the team’s head coach.
For the Dallas People, the Warriors led by Qin Yue have become an insurmountable wall of sighs in recent years.
The Mavericks need a new lineup and a new coach to break the Warriors’ one-sided dominance since the 05/06 season.
And in Oakland, after spending an incredibly wonderful night, just as Warriors fans thought the team would continue to win match after match until the All-Star weekend arrives...
The beauty brought to the Warriors fans by Gerald Wallace’s joining...
came to an abrupt end quietly.
