A week ago, Qin Yue, who made headlines with "Goodnight, Los Angeles," scored a total of 24 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 1 steal in this game.
In the game, Qin Yue undoubtedly continued his previous performance.
However, the Warriors' overall outstanding performance was the key to their big win on the road.
Mr. Big Beard, the original, contributed 19 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals in this game.
Remembering Tom Izzo's teachings, Richardson racked up 21 points, second only to Qin Yue, with 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
"The dutiful son" Little Deng Liwei, who personally shot down old Deng Liwei's morale with his 8-for-6 three-pointers, made 6 threes.
Off the bench, Murphy and Jack contributed 14 and 10 points respectively.
Also, fighting alongside Qin Yue, Kwame Brown scored 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, making his days more enjoyable.
Although during the three-game losing streak, the Warriors did indeed remind fans of many unpleasant memories, compared to the past...
This team, with a different spirit, returned to the winning track with a 127-91 road victory.
As Qin Yue's most loyal and reliable comrade, Jack noticed that before the five-game road trip started, those Warriors veterans who called Qin Yue "that arrogant kid," "self-important brat," "that haughty guy"...
Already started to unify their term for Qin Yue into that resounding name:
—Messiah.
During the three-game losing streak, Qin Yue always supported his teammates during interviews, gradually building up authority in the locker room.
And now, returning triumphant from Los Angeles with a big win...
Perhaps the five-road-trip process was not that delightful.
But from another perspective, Jack believed the Warriors were gradually accumulating some capital.
...
On the 16th, after a two-day break, Qin Yue, returning with the Warriors to the home court, received a notification from Nike.
"Nike is planning to change your shoe release date to the 18th of this month," Evans said to Qin Yue.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue asked, "Do I need to do anything then?"
Evans shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, Nike and Jeff Schwartz will arrange everything for you.
You just need to wear the beautiful new sneakers that day, and... it would be best to lead the Warriors to win that 'Chinese Derby'.
On November 18th, according to the schedule, the Warriors will host a game against the Houston Rockets, led by Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.
Although this game will be broadcast nationwide, the game's influence is evidently greater in China.
Qin Yue clearly understands that Nike places heavy bets on him to break into the Chinese market.
Therefore, he isn't surprised that his shoe release date was changed to the first 'Chinese Derby'.
It's just...
"Did Nike add 'Messiah' to my shoe too?" Seeing the sneaker display picture sent by Nike, Qin Yue said with a smile on his face.
"Qin, this is the NBA, it's a business league. Since we all know about building our trademark, how could Nike not know?"
"Ronnie, compared to before... you are looking more and more like a big deal now."
"Come on, Qin, the accomplishments I achieve in this life aren't determined by me, but by you.
Qin, in fact, you are not only the Warriors' Messiah, but you are also my Messiah."
On the evening of the 16th, the Warriors hosted the Seattle SuperSonics, who hadn't yet been taken to Oklahoma.
Since the start of the new season, Supersonic has only managed a 3-5 record.
For a team that ranked third in the West at this time last season, thanks to the unique NBA division advantage, they urgently need a victory to break the losing streak mood.
Additionally, before this game, Qin Yue witnessed Ray Allen's...
Mouth that offends everywhere he goes.
"The kids nowadays are getting more and more absurd, haven't even played in the playoffs but dare to call themselves 'The Chosen One' and 'Messiah'.
However, for Ray Allen's remarks at the pregame press conference...
You may not believe this...
It was Kwame Brown, the "foolishly sweet black," who delivered a wonderful rebuttal to him.
"At least unlike some veterans, who haven't even touched a finals court... yet dare to look down on this, look down on that.
Oh by the way, Kobe Bryant, who has three championship rings, just became the backdrop for our Messiah, does Mr. Ray Allen know this?"
"However, I kindly ask Mr. Ray Allen not to worry about the upcoming game.
Because Kobe Bryant can score 70 points in a game, but we all know Mr. Ray Allen doesn't have that ability, so Mr. Ray Allen need not worry about becoming the backdrop for our Messiah."
Brilliant!
First, subtly pointed out Ray Allen's failure to reach the finals.
Then he brought up Kobe, who is notoriously at odds with Ray Allen, to poke at his sore spot.
Finally, he ended with a compliment and a comparison!
"Did you really think of these words yourself?" That day, watching Brown return with the team coach Montgomery from the pregame press conference, Qin Yue asked.
Upon hearing this, after scratching his head, Brown said, "I was just really angry at the time... and then suddenly the inspiration came."
Seeing this, Qin Yue seriously considered for a moment and said, "Do you plan to write a memoir or have someone write an autobiography for you, Kwame?"
Brown shrugged and said, "How would I know that? In my opinion, to write a memoir or an autobiography, at the very least... I gotta do better first."
At this moment, looking earnestly at Brown, Qin Yue said, "Promise me... when writing your autobiography and memoir, spray a bit less on me."
That day, Qin Yue already saw beneath Brown's "foolishly sweet black" exterior, a heart that loves to roast.
And on the night of the 16th...
Regarding Brown's retort before the match...
During the warm-up training of the two teams, Qin Yue noticed Ray Allen would always cast a cold glance at him.
It must be said, the older generation of NBA players really aren't creative when they dislike someone.
Either they glare at you... or find another way to glare at you.
As if their gaze could really kill the other person.
"Does he think I told you to say those things at the press conference?" Looking at Qin Yue, who had been glared at by Ray Allen for half an hour before the game, Brown asked with concern.
"Does it matter if I taught you? The important thing is, since he thinks I'm unworthy of having 'Messiah' tattooed on my back, then we'll see on the court." Eyes turned towards Brown, Qin Yue said.
Of course, at some point, Qin Yue really got fed up with being glared at by Ray Allen...
So before the game, in response to the senior who kept glaring at him with cold eyes...
Qin Yue decided to respond with a more satisfying manner.
He formed his hand into a hand-knife shape and directly stared at Ray Allen, lightly sliding it across his neck.
This action is known as:
—The Throat Slash Gesture.
Qin Yue clearly understands, this move would definitely result in punishment after the game.
But in the survival-of-the-fittest NBA...
Sometimes even knowing there would be punishment, Qin Yue must show his tough side.
Because in the NBA, only the fittest survive.
