Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 597 - 199: Back to the Top! World Champion! (2nd Update, Kneeling for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets!)_2
Clang—!
On the wing, with Bell's strong interference, Carter missed the shot.
Then, Brown actively boxed out and assisted Qin Yue in securing the defensive rebound.
Qin Yue swiftly advanced to the frontcourt and, taking advantage of the Celtics' unstable defense, directly turned and passed to Nash, who was following up the fast break, seamlessly combining passing with screening.
Swoosh!
On TNT TV, pointing at the shot clock that showed only five seconds had passed since the Warriors completed their offense, Barkley exclaimed, "Against the whirlwind speed of the Warriors, I think every one of their opponents can only describe it as despair."
On the sidelines, watching the Warriors players perform noticeably better than the previous four games, Gentry suddenly had a bad feeling.
Because just the explosively performing Qin Yue was already unstoppable by the Celtics.
When the Warriors are all in sync, Qin Yue doesn't even need the Green Army to ponder over the question that had troubled them for four games:
—Whether they should double-team Qin Yue.
Celtics' offense, Jet Fighter Pierce finally redeemed himself in front of Wallace, securing a steady three-pointer for the team that stabilized their morale.
"Did you see that? That's why I earn twice as much as you!" Pierce hammered his chest and said to Wallace.
Upon hearing this, Wallace agreed: You're right.
But just after that, not being a proficient three-point shooter, Wallace, guided by Qin Yue, received the signal from the control tower to take off.
Bang—!
"Clear the way, clear the way!" Landing from the dunk, making a phone-call gesture to celebrate, Wallace laughed, "I've excellently completed my airstrike operation!"
Pierce's trash talk was destined to have little harm on Wallace, who lived in his own mental domain.
For instance, at this moment, you might think Wallace was celebrating the dunk he made for the Warriors.
In fact, Wallace was cosplaying an American Raptor fighter jet pilot in his mind.
During this cooperative season with the team, Qin Yue had long discovered that Wallace's imagination was more fanciful than that of average Black players.
Qin Yue knew very well that Wallace often fantasized in his mind, including but not limited to executing spy missions, wars in progress, or becoming a superhero saving the world.
Understanding this, how could Pierce ever break into his defenses?
Moreover, Pierce's classic line, "No one dares trash talk in front of me because I'll go straight to action," holds no threat against this Warriors team.
After all....
Just Pierce saying so, how could he fight against this team of superhumans in the Warriors?
Believe it or not, even before Pierce could make a move, Master Deng, always sitting on the Warriors' sideline, would knock him out with a single bench?
Celtics' ball, Durin dribbled past half court, handed the ball to Carter, who then lobbed it to Duncan already positioned inside.
Soon after, Duncan made a bank shot with a hook move.
Witnessing this, after hurling "just luck" as trash talk, Qin Yue quickly inbounded the ball to Nash.
When Nash crossed half court, even without verbal exchange, Bell, who knew how Nash would pass, sprinted towards the corner.
On the court, Nash's pass arrived almost simultaneously as Bell reached.
Swoosh!
At the technical table, on a night where Qin Yue didn't need to make a shot, and the Warriors already had an offensive run, forced to call a timeout, Gentry's eyes lacked the spark of the past few games.
"The Warriors are establishing their victory tonight!"
On TNT TV, Barkley bluntly said, "If the Celtics cannot produce offense matching their quality, we can only congratulate the Warriors on winning another world championship under Messiah's guidance."
North Shore Garden Arena, midway through the first quarter, the Celtics had tallied 14 points.
14 points in half a quarter, to be honest, was the Celtics' standard offensive quality.
But alas...
Were the Warriors simply overachieving this evening?
On the left side of the court, when Murphy, replacing Brown, launched confidently without even looking back at his three-point shot, he immediately turned and started the celebration.
Swoosh!
In basketball, confidence is said to be contagious.
For instance, in the next play, seeing Qin Yue's expectant gaze, initially intending to pass the ball back to Qin Yue for safer organizing, Curry hesitated, then with determination, took a shot from two meters beyond the three-point line.
Off-court, Nash, who had just been subbed off by Curry, also raised both hands for Curry's long-range three.
"Stephen, what are you doing? This is the finals!"
And on TNT TV, Barkley, who a second ago questioned Curry, immediately witnessed Curry's three-pointer swishing through the net.
"That's the Golden State Warriors! Once they go crazy on the court, no team can stop them," Barkley's partner Smith said.
"Were you initially hoping for me to shoot?" In retreat defense, turning to Qin Yue, Curry asked curiously, "I initially wanted to pass it back to you."
Hearing this, after patting Curry's shoulder, Qin Yue said: "Yes, that's exactly what I thought!"
Qin Yue noted that when playing with Curry in the future, he would need a quick-acting heart pill beforehand.
Because Curry didn't know...
In that previous play, the reason Qin Yue showed anticipation was that he was already in a position to directly call for the ball and start attacking?
On the court, end of the first quarter, 41 to 28.
With a single quarter scoring 41 points, the Warriors threw an offensive feast on the road, effectively shattering the home fans' composure.
This was the least Qin Yue had broken a sweat in a single quarter of this finals series.
"I won't rest for this game."
With just 4 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block in the first quarter, Qin Yue told Ma Long during the break: "Once we widen the gap, I'll have plenty of time to rest."
Thus, into the second quarter, Qin Yue remained on the court.
This left Gentry, hoping to close the score difference, feeling the rapid spread of despair across the entire arena.
On the court, under Qin Yue's organization, Jack, Little Deng Liwei, Old Hill, and Barnes successively scored.
Thus, with every player in the game scoring, the Warriors also turned their gaze to McRoberts, the only player yet to play in the Warriors' game list.
"You all staring at me makes me very pressured." In the latter half of the second quarter, preparing to sub in, McRoberts smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I'll be the only player in this game without a point."
Fortunately, McRoberts' worry was gratuitous by then.
Because as soon as he came on, Qin Yue, after drawing a double team, delivered a brilliant pass to him.
With no one within two meters of the basket, allowing enough time to sip water before finishing, McRoberts didn't let the team's hope in him down.
Boom, swoosh!
On the Warriors' bench, as McRoberts scored, every Warrior player excitedly embraced each other.
"We are the champions!"
On the sidelines, Brown shouted for McRoberts.
"MVP, MVP!"
Beside him, Curry also joined in the banter.
At the halfway mark, with every player scoring, the Warriors lead the Celtics 74 to 48 on the road.
Although theoretically speaking...
Even till this point, the Celtics still have hopes for a comeback.
But as the second half reignited, each Green Army fan knows they will be runners-up for three consecutive years.
In the third quarter, roughly eight minutes in, Qin Yue lost interest in padding stats on the court.
Upon asking Ma Long to sub him out, Qin Yue swiftly dumped a large bucket of iced drink over the latter's head.
"This is your deserved reward, Mike," Qin Yue said to Ma Long.
"Yes, this is my deserved reward!"
On the sidelines, thoroughly drenched by Qin Yue, Ma Long simply stripped off his shirt: "Come on, you damn bastards, I know you've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
In response, the already-prepared Warriors players, each with a bucket of ice water, rushed forward. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
And after the garbage time of the final quarter passed, looking at the final score of 131 to 91, Barkley used his big voice to announce to the whole of North America: "Let's congratulate the Golden State Warriors! After a two-year hiatus, they are world champions once again!"
