From "Good night, Los Angeles" to "Let's go, Yao Ming"... to be honest, Qin Yue feels that his explosively brilliant rookie season performance really owes a lot to these NBA opponents vying to assist him.

After the game, seeing Yao Ming, who was deeply frustrated because of his "poor performance" in front of the younger brothers, Qin Yue pointed to his own bruised chest and said: "Bro, if you play any better... I might actually announce my retirement tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, after taking a sip of a now tiny bottle of sports drink, Yao Ming said: "Lao Qin, do you think the Rockets will strengthen their roster because of the problems exposed in this game?"

After tonight, Yao Ming could no longer hold any illusions about the playoffs.

Because as Barkley said, in the West at this point in time...

There are just too many nemeses.

Seeing this, Qin Yue, eager for Yao Ming to leave Houston tomorrow, pondered for a while and said: "Do you remember what Tim (Grover) told you this summer?"

Yao Ming nodded.

"Yao... I must remind you that as Shaquille O'Neal is gradually getting older, the next four or five seasons will be the most valuable golden period of your career."

Grover's hint was very obvious at the time.

Because in the eyes of this legendary trainer... a team like the Houston Rockets simply doesn't deserve a super center like Yao Ming.

That night, with a push from Qin Yue, Yao Ming had already personally opened the door of fate that would change the trajectory of his career.

And the Warriors?

After defeating the world-renowned "pseudo-strong team" Rockets, they quickly surged to the thirteenth place in the latest team power rankings released the next day.
