After the game, cornered by a group of reporters in the locker room, Qin Yue was the only one able to maintain his composure.

Qin Yue hails from a future where Luka Doncic only needed 33 shots (25 made) to score 73 points in a single game.

He personally witnessed Doncic, standing 198 cm tall, achieve the miraculous feat of scoring 60 points, grabbing 21 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists in a game.

Although the current NBA is a completely different concept from the NBA of the future...

But on the court, as the Phoenix Suns accelerated the pace of the game, in this match that closely resembled the "Small Ball Era", Qin Yue was well aware that he had just demonstrated the power of a ball-dominant star when given the team's tactical resources.

A night like this, of course, won't happen every day.

But after officially moving into the "sewer" this season, Qin Yue also discovered his current weaknesses.

As Jerry West said, although Qin Yue's style of play gives him the explosive scoring ability that traditional superstar big men do not have, his output in the game...

Is still inevitably constrained by his height and weight.

Further optimizing his scoring structure might help Qin Yue break through this barrier on certain nights.

However, compared to other attributes that have grown rapidly since joining the league, Qin Yue's slow evolution of his three-point shot... at one point even made him think he was cursed by the Warriors' No. 30 jersey.

Is Qin Yue an excellent three-point shooter?

Judging by the technical stats alone, in this era, his three-pointer is quite reliable.

But Qin Yue, who can always find easy three-point opportunities in games, knows better than anyone that if he wants to make three-pointers a regular weapon to boost his scoring...

He still has a very long way to go.

At least compared to the future ball-dominant stars who regularly attempt more than 8 three-pointers per game, Qin Yue currently still needs a lot of forceful mid-range pull-ups to support his output.

"After leading your team to defeat the Phoenix Suns on the road with an incredibly convincing '50+' triple-double, many people think you've already locked in this year's regular season MVP, what's your take on it?"

"I'm glad to have so many discerning people agree with me; the NBA truly has a growing number of knowledgeable fans."

"After tonight, you became the fourth player in NBA history to achieve a '50+' triple-double in a game. What do you think is the key?"

"The key is to take your job seriously and go all out on the court."

...

In pulling off a "50+" triple-double in Phoenix, Qin Yue not only set the entire basketball world ablaze...

But he also secured a win for Barkley's wager and successfully upgraded the "Rushing Forward" badge to Superstar status.

The upgraded "Rushing Forward" badge, when successfully activated, now provides a 4-point boost in explosive force for Qin Yue.

Since obtaining this badge, Qin Yue has enjoyed its numerous benefits countless times.

So even though its name isn't very flattering, it's undoubtedly one of Qin Yue's favorite badges.

As for Pippen, who has to wear a maid's outfit and kiss Barkley's butt due to losing the wager?

That was definitely the most eye-searing sight in the basketball world since the 21st century.

On the day he fulfilled the wager, as the GOAT of second-in-command made his entrance in a maid's outfit...

Only good old God knows how many people had their worldview shattered at that moment.

However, Pippen, who always believed that "making money isn't disgraceful", seemed unfazed by it.

He even discussed a sure-fire topic of interest after kissing Barkley's butt, still in that maid outfit, saying, "Michael Jordan or the Messiah, who's stronger? I think I'd vote for the Messiah because he doesn't need Scottie Pippen to win a championship."

Pippen's comments on the day of the wager's fulfillment sparked a massive uproar in the entire basketball world.

Many members of the Bulls dynasty, who hadn't fallen out with Jordan yet, came forward to criticize Pippen, thinking he shouldn't compare a young player who had just become the face of the NBA with Jordan.

Steve Kerr said: "In a world filled with noise and restlessness, some people seem to have forgotten the most essential things about basketball — passion, dreams, and legacy.

Michael's greatness shouldn't be defined by simple data comparisons or shallow public opinion trends. Michael's brilliance is enough to illuminate the long river of basketball history."

Chicago media mocked Pippen by saying, "One championship surpasses Jordan? According to Scottie Pippen, if the Warriors successfully defend their title this year, should we crown that Messiah from Oakland as the Greatest of All Time?"

Before the All-Star Weekend, as Qin Yue was leading the Warriors to win as many games as possible, he never thought that Pippen would crown him with the title "one championship surpasses Jordan".

On the 14th.

After leading the Warriors to beat the Knicks at home, when a reporter asked him about it, Qin Yue responded, "I'm very grateful for Mr. Scottie Pippen's assessment of me.

However, I must clarify that I do not agree with his opinion.

Because basketball has never belonged solely to superstar players; the Warriors have always been a cohesive whole.

Without those outstanding teammates, I couldn't possibly achieve what I have today."

As someone who's been through it, Qin Yue understands very well that Pippen, who is now willing to let go of everything for money, seems to be supporting him on the surface but is actually looking to take a dig at his former teammate Jordan.
