Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 591 - 197: When Blood Stains the Crown (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote!)
Final score, 106 to 126.
The Warriors successfully won the second game of the finals, and changed the series score to 2-0.
Qin Yue scored 70 points for the team in the game, unsurprisingly becoming the hottest topic in the sports world post-game.
"I have nothing to say." After the game, Green Army coach Alvin Gentry said in an interview, "After the first game of the finals, Coach Mike Malone hoped I'd reflect more on myself, and then what? In such a crucial game, when God scores 70 points against you, how am I supposed to reflect? Should I reflect on not being able to coach God because my faith isn't devout enough?"
If, back then, the game where Qin Yue scored 67 points in just three quarters for the Warriors resulted in a flawless outcome but lacked quality due to the weakness of the opponent.
Then on this night, the game where both the outcome and the process could only be described as perfect, Qin Yue had already conquered all but some extreme Qin Hei fans.
"His offense seemed like it would never stop." During the game, Horford, who was tasked with guarding Qin Yue, said in utter frustration, "I know I'm mainly responsible for his 70 points on the court, but I really tried my best. You can watch the game footage and see how unreasonable this God was."
Horford was well aware that Qin Yue was competing under a different set of NBA-sanctioned rules this night.
However, God still responded to everyone with his scoring performance—so what?
"When he scored the 70th point for the Warriors, I finally understood something." Facing reporters, Duncan humorously stated, "I should've worked harder to score against him in previous games, so I wouldn't look so bad in front of him." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Duncan scored a total of 18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks for the Celtics in this game.
According to Duncan's own explanation, if he had worked harder and scored an additional 52 points for the team, he could have been on par with Qin Yue on the court.
Moreover, the math genius Duncan noted that in doing so, the Celtics could have even reversed and beaten the Warriors by 30 points.
Later, at the press conference, Warriors coach Ma Long and team owner Lacob jointly presented a memorable scene of bowing to Qin Yue.
"What else can I say?" Ma Long, who took the lead in bowing to Qin Yue, said, "After this game, I think the Messiah has already told you all that Michael Jordan is a thing of the past!"
"No matter what you say, in my mind, Michael Jordan cannot be compared with the Messiah." On the other side, Warriors owner Lacob said, "I'm not a professional basketball person, but I know that even in regular season games, Michael Jordan never scored 70 points in a single game. I believe the data doesn't lie!"
At this moment, Ma Long and Lacob's harmonious performance was not only repeatedly reminding the world of what Qin Yue accomplished this night but also legitimizing Qin Yue, who had officially begun contesting with Jordan for the GOAT title.
Indeed, in the upcoming GOAT battle...
They must seize every outstanding performance by Qin Yue to offer hymns of praise, thereby aiding Qin Yue's future recognition as the true GOAT.
"Finals with 70 points? Listen, his performance was so strong it defied human logic." At the press conference, Brown, who always refrained from being outdone in praising Qin Yue, said, "I'm extremely thankful I'm his teammate; otherwise, I would definitely have been embarrassed like Paul Pierce."
Shortly after the game, during an interview, Jerald Wallace, known for his honest and sincere demeanor, revealed...
Pierce briefly left the game in the final quarter because he soiled himself, leaving the Celtics, who wanted to keep it a secret, no choice but to respond with silence.
However, in the traditional perception of American news...
Silence often equates to tacit admission, so even though every reporter and Qin Yue in the final quarter greatly admired Pierce's stoic determination to play for the Celtics despite the mishap.
But concerning Pierce soiling himself on the court, everyone maintained a high level of interest.
"I absolutely did not soil myself!"
Afterward, Pierce blushed furiously while defending himself: "I admit my stomach was a bit upset, but I assure you, I only let out a little and managed to control it!"
"No, no, no, I don't mean I let it out. Before it came out, I held it back in!"
"As for why my shorts turned yellow?"
"Damn, I told you I only let out a little! In any case, I definitely did not soil myself, definitely not!"
After the second game, Pierce felt extremely embarrassed and utterly loathed Wallace, the straightforward boy.
Therefore, before leaving Oracle Arena with his teammates...
The furious Pierce even trashed the away team locker room in a fit but still couldn't feel his anger subside.
The next day, The San Francisco Chronicle reported on the Oracle Arena's away team locker room that was completely destroyed by Pierce.
And stated: "In light of Paul Pierce's heroic act of playing for the Celtics with an upset stomach in the second game of the finals, which has won every Oaklander's heart, the Warriors' official stance is that they will not hold Mr. Paul Pierce accountable for the damages to Oracle Arena."
