Tim Duncan, whose nasal bone was broken by a punch from Mike Dunleavy, has returned to the locker room covered in blood.

Robert Horry, having suffered a devastating blow to the groin from Warriors veteran Foyle, is still lying on the ground, clutching his groin.

Gregg Popovich, who was nearly strangled on the spot by Ron Artest, is furiously seeking out the other two referees to lodge a complaint.

In the recent brawl that is now being regarded as an historic event, virtually all players from both teams were involved...

Except, in the face of the overwhelmingly fierce Warriors players, the Spurs players were almost unilaterally beaten.

Parker was kicked in the corner of his eye by a flying kick from Warriors backup guard Will Bynum.

Covered in blood, Ginobili still doesn't know which bastard was slapping his face throughout the chaos just now.

But compared to the above incidents...

Crawford is clearly more worried about the Messiah, who has numerous influential figures behind him.

Forty minutes have passed since the game was interrupted until now.

Warriors fans have yet to receive any news about Qin Yue.

Therefore, after urgently consulting with two assistants, Crawford, knowing that the ultimate judgment could only be made by David Stern, immediately delivered the following rulings:

Bruce Bowen was expelled for a flagrant foul.

Little Deng Liwei was expelled for storming off the bench and hitting people.

And then...

That was the end of it.

"Are you blind? That bastard nearly killed me just now!" Popovich pointed angrily at Artest, who was whistling, and said, looking devastated.

In response, Crawford said: "I am quite sure that Ron was just trying to protect you at the time."

Pro...

Protect me?

After pausing briefly, Crawford added: "Moreover, both sides were involved in the scuffle just now... what, do you want me to expel all your players along with all the Warriors players?"

Seeing this, Popovich restrained his anger and said: "I will definitely protest after the game! This is undeniably the darkest day in NBA history."

Crawford thought with a sneer in his heart: Protest?

I fear your protest will only attract David's overwhelming wrath.

Crawford knew very well...

Which influential figures stand behind Qin Yue.

He didn't believe that the Spurs, considering their size, could challenge the figures supporting Qin Yue.

Perhaps, Stern would appear to punish those Warriors players involved in the fight during the match afterward.

But Bowen and the Spurs, who dared to interfere with the NBA's cash cow during the game...

Would inevitably land on the blacklist of those influential figures after tonight.

"Some things weigh less than four pounds if not measured, but once involved in the scale... they certainly exceed ten thousand pounds." In this moment, Dan Crawford, who had personally witnessed Michael Jordan's "last shot" years ago, thought to himself.

The farce was over.

After the first quarter ended, the visiting Spurs trailed 19 to 29 without Duncan, and the Warriors without Qin Yue.

Having undergone initial treatment, Duncan returned to the Spurs bench at the beginning of the second quarter.

However, based on the medical advice, Duncan, with a broken nasal bone, was not returned to the court.

"If we need Tim to play while injured, we would have to customize a special mask for him."

In this Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, it was impossible for the Spurs to send Duncan onto the court with an unprotected nasal bone.

Yet compared to Duncan's injuries, what was more concerning for the Spurs coaching staff at the moment was...

Duncan's emotional volatility, which had never worried them before.

About an hour ago, Qin Yue collapsed right in front of Duncan.

"What about you, my dear senior, are you also unaware of your teammate Bruce Bowen's actions?"

"Tim, I still thank you for taking the time to guide me in basketball back in Wake Forest. But unless you're blind, you should see, in what kind of manner that damn bastard is competing with me."

With Qin Yue's soul-searching inquiry constantly replaying in his mind, Duncan's equally complex nature clashing within, and seeing Qin Yue being shamelessly knocked down by Bowen in front of him through a plot...

Recalling that jersey retirement ceremony at Wake Forest last summer...

Duncan was mystified in that moment.

In the remaining years, he didn't know how to face Qin Yue's ever-clear and honest eyes.

At that moment, he also didn't know where his soul would be laid to rest in the future.

But unlike the emotional volatility mentioned above.

In the second quarter, when the golden wave on-site suddenly erupted with cheers that made the whole basketball world tremble...

On the Spurs bench, Duncan suddenly clenched his fists tightly.

He's back!

In the player tunnel.

Enduring the piercing pain while performing some routine movements as required by the medical staff, Qin Yue realized he had been "deceived." Amidst feeling the torture required to be a hero, he unhesitatingly lifted his head and boldly walked back into the arena the next second!

It turned out, even after receiving the block, although he could seamlessly play injured, even if Qin Yue had mentally prepared to endure the pain from a sprained ankle, this pain still far exceeded his imagination.

But as long as he can continue playing basketball, what does all this matter?

In the stands, the elderly Svity, who was nearly a hundred years old next month, teared up and said: "He's back! He's back! I knew he would come back!"
