In the Western All-Star Team's paint, just as LeBron was about to perform his signature tomahawk slam at the low intensity of the opening...

A relentless large hand, with a span of 13.8 inches (35.1 cm) and a length of 10.5 inches (around 27 cm), suddenly descended from the sky, intercepting LeBron's dunk from the side!(Note①)

At the Toyota Center, Qin Yue's dunk block right at the beginning left the audience in bewilderment.

Because as the NBA All-Star Weekend became more entertainment-oriented...

Usually, both sides don't give much intensity at the start.

On the court, LeBron, who was blocked by Qin Yue, was also left at a loss.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Qin Yue resolved LeBron's embarrassment with a chest-beating and foot-stomping celebration, similar to Garnett, and a skyward howl.

On TNT TV Station, Barkley laughed and said, "I think this must be a carefully designed act by the Messiah before the game, LeBron, you better be careful, your good buddy is playing a prank on you!"

Actually, how much careful planning is there in this world?

It's just that, to avoid LeBron's embarrassment, Qin Yue turned this impromptu block into a carefully planned act through his exaggerated block celebration.

Then, after playfully rubbing LeBron's head with a smile, Qin Yue even snatched his headband.

LeBron, who was originally at a loss, finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily as he shouted to the referee on the sidelines, "He stole my headband, quick, blow the whistle for a foul!"

At this moment, the referees certainly couldn't whistle.

As for LeBron's headband?

Qin Yue directly tossed it to a young fan on the sidelines wearing a Knight's No. 23 jersey.

This young fan was undoubtedly lucky.

Because, with Qin Yue's assist, he successfully acquired a "crown" from the young king.

On the court, due to this "farce," the entire arena instantly turned into a sea of joy.

Meanwhile, sitting in the VIP box, David Stern once again felt the difference between Qin Yue and Yao Ming.

Although Yao Ming, who is low-key and practical, is also highly regarded by Stern,

At this moment, Qin Yue is clearly the key Stern envisioned.

The key that can not only open the door to the Chinese market but also open the door to traffic for the NBA.

Throughout the first half, Qin Yue, who kept teasing LeBron, not only effectively controlled LeBron's scoring desires during the game, but he also successfully drew LeBron into this playful atmosphere.

Originally, LeBron wanted to prove himself with an All-Star MVP. Now, amidst the antics with Qin Yue, he has completely forgotten his initial goal.

On the court when Qin Yue was taking free throws, LeBron even lay down directly under the basket, making funny faces to distract Qin Yue.

And in return, when stopping LeBron from breaking through, Qin Yue simply picked him up in a princess carry towards the player's tunnel.

This evening, for Tracy McGrady's "T-Mac Night," no one knew how much effort Qin Yue had put in behind the scenes.

But the effect Qin Yue wanted was indeed achieved.

By halftime, the scoreboard read 61 to 68.

LeBron, who was busy having fun, only scored 4 points and 2 rebounds.

Meanwhile, Tracy McGrady, on the Western All-Star Team, scored 27 points with 9 out of 17 shooting and 1 assist.

During halftime, the big screen repeatedly played the comedic moments of LeBron and Qin Yue on the court.

This scene even made O'Neal, who is known for his humor and love for antics, feel like his spotlight was stolen.

However, considering Qin Yue's somewhat petty nature...

O'Neal refrained from commenting on LeBron and Qin Yue during halftime.

After the break, the game continued.

Tracy McGrady, with a still-hot hand, quickly increased his personal score to "30+".

However...

On the court, Qin Yue was puzzled...

Why were Kobe and later substitute Ray Allen constantly passing the ball to him for rebounds?

Since Qin Yue had already promised Tracy McGrady, he didn't want to go back on his word.

But...

When McGrady wasn't on the field, as Qin Yue grabbed offensive rebound after offensive rebound, who was he supposed to pass the ball to?

In the entire second half, Yao Ming only played for a total of 2 minutes.

As for Qin Yue's senior, Duncan, he constantly passed the pressure to Qin Yue whenever he was on the court.

Thus, to ensure victory in this game (which is the premise for McGrady's All-Star MVP), Qin Yue had no choice but to reluctantly accept these stats with a smile.

After all, if "T-Mac Night" was ruined by the Western All-Star Team's seasoned players, who would McGrady talk to after this?

However, regardless, this was an exciting second half.

Because the coaches of the East and West All-Star teams, Philip Saunders, and "Little General" Johnson, understanding each other perfectly, benched the more laid-back veterans in the second half, and so the All-Star main event entered a regular season rhythm.

On the court, players of both teams went back and forth, and as the intensity increased, Qin Yue, who only had 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in the first half, successfully raised his personal stats to 25 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks by the end of the game.

Finally, this thrilling All-Star weekend main event, which both entertained and featured a serious half, concluded with a score of 118 to 125.

Although this game lacked the last-minute drama compared to Qin Yue's past life,

For fans, as long as the process was engaging enough, they were already satisfied.

After the game, announced by David Stern, Tracy McGrady, who scored 38 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound for the Western All-Star Team, and Qin Yue shared this year's All-Star Weekend MVP.

However, when Stern first announced his name...

Qin Yue almost immediately felt a deadly glare from someone.

Fortunately, as someone who always likes happy endings, Stern didn't add any upset to Houston on this night.

For the Toyota Center fans, since Qin Yue brought them so much joy in both halves, why would they mind Qin Yue and Tracy McGrady sharing this year's AMVP?

In summary, it was a perfect night.

Tearing up, Tracy McGrady delivered a twenty-minute acceptance speech during the award ceremony.

As for Qin Yue, who achieved unexpected success?

After thanking everyone in record time, he, who had been busy running around during this All-Star weekend, just wanted to return to the East Bay as soon as possible.

Because as the All-Star weekend concluded...

The annual NBA regular season sprint phase would commence.

Qin Yue needed to return to the East Bay to rest and adjust promptly.

And then...

Join forces with the Golden State Gang...

To explore what kind of success the Warriors might achieve this year.

...

Note①: Just how big is Qin Yue's hand? This data shows it's bigger than Antetokounmpo's but slightly smaller than Boban's.
