Chapter 91 When the Sun Sets (13000 words per day, begging for monthly subscriptions!)
Returning to Oracle Arena, the Warriors won Game 3 of their Western Conference Finals against the Suns cleanly.

This may be the most depressing night in Nash's career.

球场上，他21投12中，其中三分球5投3中，罚球6罚6中，总计砍下了33分7助攻2篮板。

With such performance, he definitely deserves the title of regular season MVP.

In the game, under the repeated attacks of Davis, Nash gritted his teeth and fought back again and again.

Facing the boos coming from all directions and the Warriors players who always organized their offense around him, Nash tried to narrow the score gap for the Suns even if it meant exhausting the last drop of fuel in the tank.

But until the timer reached zero in the final quarter, the Warriors were still leading the Suns by 14 points.

These 14 points made Nash despair.

It was a 14-point loss that caused the Suns fans in front of the TV to collectively collapse.

The final score was 103 to 117.

The Golden State Warriors, witnessed by the golden wave on the scene, changed the score of this round of the Western Conference Finals to 2-1.

Moreover, after the game, Warriors fans had no intention of forgiving Steve Nash.

纳什33分7助攻2篮板的表现就很优秀了吗？那为我们在这场第三战里砍下37分13篮板11助攻2封盖2抢断的秦岳，是不是比纳什更强？是不是比纳什更配得上今年的常规赛MVP？

Nash is a good guy and has always been very popular in the league, but isn’t our Messiah a good guy, a strong and handsome young man?

In order to calm the anger of Warriors fans, Qin Yue even had to speak for Nash: "I have always recognized Steve's performance on the court. Except for his 'shoe licking' before free throws, I have always believed that he is the best point guard in the league today."

Since Nash had never offended him, Qin Yue, who always wanted revenge, did not intend to add insult to injury.

Moreover, blindly belittling opponents.
That would only make the victory he led the Warriors seem less valuable.

just
The more generous Qin Yue was at this moment, the more the Warriors fans and his supporters hated Nash and Stern.

More and more conspiracy theories have emerged online. In the eyes of these conspiracy theorists, the league is completely targeting Qin Yue because they don't want to see the NBA flag in the post-Jordan era being a player from Asia.

In response, NBA Commissioner David Stern immediately held a press conference that day to refute the rumor: "As a fair, open and just league, the NBA will never discriminate against any player because of skin color."

However, Stern's denial
Conspiracy theorists find this unconvincing.

After all, this is the NBA where O'Neal could get away with it as long as he apologized after humiliating Yao Ming with discriminatory words.

Obviously, as the Warriors' achievements this year have exceeded everyone's expectations, the previous "trophy theft incident" has suddenly reached its climax.

NBA Commissioner's Office.

Stern said with a frustrated look on his face: "The conspiracy theories out there are getting more and more outrageous. What should we do to completely calm this storm?"

Hearing this, Vice President Mark said, "David, I don't think this is a bad thing. Didn't Michael's supporters question the league's award selection results many times back then?"

Stern sighed and said, "It's different. Back then, Michael's supporters at most questioned the fairness of the league's award selection, but now, the conspiracy theories outside have already involved the principle issue of racial discrimination."

Seeing this, Mark said, "David, the entire American society has long discriminated against Asians. This is not a problem that you and I can solve. Now, our top priority is to find a way to divert public attention."

"How do I transfer?"

"We need help from our allies."

One day later, before the start of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Nike announced in advance the appearance of Qin Yue's second-generation "Overlord Series" combat boots and an urgently produced advertising video.

Compared with the first generation, the second generation of "Overlord" boots not only looks cooler, but its main color has also changed to gold with a certain hint.

Of course, these are not the point.

The point is, in this commercial.
Qin Yue said at the end: "I don't need anyone to crown me, because I will take the crown myself."

For Warriors fans who haven't tasted the championship for 31 years,
Qin Yue's domineering advertising lines have been regarded by them as Qin Yue's declaration that he will definitely lead the Warriors to win the NBA championship this year!

then
The Bay Area fans' anger towards Nash was instantly transformed into their worship of Qin Yue.

Although many Warriors fans did look forward to the finals and the final championship after leading 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals, after Qin Yue expressed their beautiful imagination of the future
At this moment, who in the entire Bay Area still cares about Steve Nash?

Our Messiah does not need the incompetent NBA to crown Him!

Because he will surely lead us, with that golden wave, all the way to the top, and win the championship trophy that we have been away from for thirty-one years!
Yes, he will crown himself with the most important trophy on the stage of the finals!
Oracle Arena.

When the Suns players entered the court during the warm-up phase before Game 4, an unforgettable picture came into their eyes almost at the same time.

The game is not going to start until an hour later.

But in the stands, the golden wave had begun to roll.

In bars and streets across the Bay Area, fans wearing Warriors No. 30 jerseys shouted Qin Yue's name in unison.

In addition, before the start of Game 4, with the blessing of the golden wave on the scene, the morale of the Warriors team reached its highest peak since entering the playoffs.

With the support of this morale.
Can the Suns, who are trailing 1-2, beat the Warriors at Oracle Arena?

Two hours later, exhausted Steve Nash and Shawn Marion gave the answer with frustrated expressions on their faces.

The scoreboard showed 97 to 112.

The Warriors won another game and lead the Suns 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals.

两届MVP得主纳什本场表现一般，全场17投仅7中，其中三分球4投1中，罚球2罚2中，总计拿到了17分9助攻3篮板。

If this kind of performance had happened in the previous game, Nash probably wouldn't even have the courage to walk out of the Oracle Arena.

But that night, Warriors fans had already lost all interest in Nash.

Because the Messiah has promised them that he will hold the championship trophy for them personally!
After the game, the reporter asked Qin Yue, who easily scored 35 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal for the Warriors, "Warriors fans all regard the words at the end of your sneaker commercial as your championship declaration to the world. What do you think of this?"

Hearing this, Qin Yue knew it was time to "change plans and prepare to win the championship," and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that the fans agree with me. Yes, that's exactly the championship declaration I've been preparing for a long time."

Seeing this, a reporter was surprised and asked: "You haven't entered the finals yet, and the competitiveness of the Eastern Conference this year is far greater than in previous years. Is it too early for you to declare your victory now?"

In response, Qin Yue said: "You know, I never hide anything. I think we are the best team in this year's playoffs.

My teammates and I are ready to bring home a championship trophy in June for this city, the fans and all the supporters here.”

Of course, having said that, you still have to eat one bite at a time.

After finishing Game 4 with the Suns, the Warriors will head to Phoenix again.

Because this Suns team does have the possibility of having a hot night and defeating the Warriors.
So before Game 5, all Warriors players were in high spirits.

The night they arrived in Phoenix, Qin Yue became more nervous than ever before.

Because as long as he can lead the Warriors to defeat the Suns in the next game, he will reach the NBA Finals.

This was a scene he had dreamed of countless times in his previous life, and it had always been his dream.

Looking back on the past, especially the sweat left in his college life, at this moment, Qin Yue even secretly wiped away a tear.

This was the "hero's sweat" of excitement and excitement. Qin Yue did not feel ashamed of it. He just thought that the Warriors' performance in the playoffs this year was too fantastic. It was as if he really had some kind of destiny.

Qin Yue no longer had any doubt at this moment that he was the Messiah who was higher than the Chosen Son.

Then, he wiped away the tears of excitement, clenched his excited fists, walked into the bathroom, looked at himself in the mirror, and asked himself the question again.

“Do you like basketball?”

The next second, his eyes suddenly became clear, and Qin Yue answered without hesitation: "Of course I like it."

On the evening of June 6th, at the America West Arena.

This round of Western Conference Finals between two offensive teams has officially entered its final battle.

In the first quarter, with the Phoenix fans cheering at the top of their lungs, the Suns' desperate five-man lineup extended their lead to double digits.

But for the Warriors, who also have "high critical damage", the double-digit point difference can be made up with just three three-pointers.

It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the first quarter, when Richardson flew out of the court to save the ball, he fell next to his college coach, Tom Izzo.

Seeing this, the always irritable Izzo kicked Richardson's butt and said, "Get up quickly! You useless thing, don't you see that your teammates are all on fast break?"

At that moment, Qin Yue had every reason to suspect that Izzo had wanted to kick Richardson for a long time.

But Izzo's flying kick was somewhat personal.
But in the next three offensive rounds, the Warriors kicked out three three-pointers made by Jason Richardson, a former member of the Spartans' NCAA championship team!
On the court, Richardson looked directly at Izzo while retreating, and said, "Old man, don't call me a waste in front of so many people anymore. You have to know that I'm going to play in the finals soon!"

Hearing this, Izzo smiled, and his smile was extremely bright.

So, he ripped off his jacket, revealing the No. 23 Warriors jersey underneath, and the crazy Spartans coach roared to the entire America West Arena: "Did you all hear that? The useless thing I trained is going to play in the finals soon!"

The Warriors came from behind in the second half of the first quarter, and at the end of the first quarter, the scoreboard showed 34 to 33.

In the second quarter, Chris Paul, who also came to the sidelines tonight to support Qin Yue, smiled and said, "Do you need me to give you a BUFF as well?"

Qin Yue shook his head and said, "I don't need those things. I just need you to stay quietly on the sidelines and enjoy my performance."

Paul curled his lips and said, "Didn't the old man (Prosser) tell you that he had someone book tickets for the finals for him?"

Qin Yue wondered, "Why didn't the old man ask me for the tickets directly?"

Paul said, "The old man said he was afraid it would affect your performance."

Qin Yue shrugged and said, "I'm not that fragile."

Paul nodded and said, "I will attend your college jersey retirement ceremony this summer."

After a pause, Paul suddenly raised his voice and said, "Now, go bring back that damn championship trophy! Take it with you to your college jersey retirement ceremony! You are the eternal legend of Wake Forest, and just as you said, you will crown yourself!"

Then, turning his back to Qin Yue, Paul cried.

Before deciding to watch the Western Conference Finals, Paul promised himself that he would not cry.

But he still cried.

It's not because he is fragile. It's just that Qin Yue's back reminded him of the good times when they fought side by side in Wake Forest.

In the 04/05 season, they teamed up to sweep the entire American college basketball world in an invincible manner.

And now, his college teammate, the tallest mountain at Wake Forest, was about to play in the finals.

In the second quarter, Qin Yue personally blocked Steve Nash's layup, which had the opportunity to help the Phoenix Suns overtake the score.

This was a block that was ruthless and sad in the eyes of the fans at the scene.

Then, he controlled the second landing point and threw the ball to Dunleavy who was already running down the court.
Qin Yue led the Golden State Warriors to officially start this wave on the court, which made Nash, Marion, Bell, Dio and other Suns players completely desperate.
A wave of flow!

In a total of 7 minutes and 15 seconds, the Warriors played a 31-7 offensive climax on the road at the America West Arena!
At the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed 74 to 49.

The Warriors entered the second half with a 25-point lead.

During the halftime break, Charles Barkley even discussed with Kenny Smith who would be the Warriors' opponent in the finals this year.

Is it the Miami Heat led by Wade?

Or the Detroit Pistons who are preparing to stage a comeback?
"Hey, Charles, do you think the Warriors will win the championship?" Smith asked in the studio.

"I do not know."

In the next second, Barkley added: "But in my eyes, the Warriors are already the best team this year."

Charles Barkley's best team didn't give the Suns any chance in the second half.

In the fourth quarter, knowing that the game was over, D'Antoni looked up at the empty dome of the America West Arena, went to the technical desk to request a timeout, and replaced all the Suns' main players.

And the always cruel NBA broadcast camera was aimed at the Suns' bench the next moment.

This is a picture that makes countless Suns fans sad.

They are only one round away from the series, and as long as they win this Western Conference Finals, they will be able to reach the finals again.

Barkley, who represented the Suns in the finals against the Bulls and Jordan, sighed and said, "This is the life we always talk about.
Failure is a constant in life, and regret is the norm in youth."

The final score was 125 to 97.

The Golden State Warriors won this year's Western Conference Finals with a big score of 4 to 1!

They will go to the 05/06 NBA Finals as the Western Conference champions!

A day later, the Heat, led by Wade, did not keep the Warriors waiting for long.

Back at home, they defeated the Detroit Pistons 4-2.

They will meet the Warriors in this year's finals as the Eastern Conference champions.
