Chapter 151 An invitation from Qin Yue, a collaboration between MVP and MVP?
Good wishes for little brother
Before leaving New York, Qin Yue sent someone to give Durant an exquisite packaging box.

Moreover, in order to prevent "Du Xiaoshuai" from thinking that he was fooling him, Qin Yue even very considerately included a piece of Scarlett's autograph in the box: "I wish you happiness, Kevin."

Can this bottle of bath water without any additives make Durant happy?
Qin Yue didn’t know.

But on the day he left New York, Qin Yue received a text message from Durant that could only be described as "a man who knows the will of heaven and defies the will of heaven."

"Boss, if you can get her bath water, can you find a way to get me two sets of her underwear?"

"What do you want with her underwear?"

“I want to smell it.”

The moment Qin Yue received Durant's incredible text message, he roughly understood why the NBA in later generations was always unwilling to make him the face of the league.

You know, in order to encourage stars to play for the country, David Stern during this period has always compensated those NBA stars who are willing to play for the country in various ways.

Unfortunately.
As the number one killer of the US men's basketball team in international competitions, Durant, who always gives his all when playing for his country, will never be able to enjoy this special benefit.

Because Durant's temperament is really too amazing.

Even Qin Yue wanted to find an opportunity to draw a clear line with him.

But after calming down.
Qin Yue discovered that compared to most players in the league, the more realistic Durant was more to his liking.

then
Qin Yue decided that the next time Durant visited the Bay Area, he must let this little brother see the world.

after all
Since Durant is currently wearing the halo of "Qin Yue II", Qin Yue can't let him tarnish the reputation of his "old father" in public.

That’s right, although he is only a few years older than Durant, Qin Yue himself has long regarded this “Qin Yue II” as his own “son”.

……

Qin Yue, who left a beautiful memory and legend in Madison Square Garden, finally led the Warriors to end this round of eight consecutive away games in the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses.

The powerful Celtics were defeated by Qin Yue at the TD Garden with his second "50+" triple-double of the season.

In the game, facing the Celtics' impenetrable interior defense, Qin Yue used his already sophisticated outside shooting skills to frequently attack from mid-range on both sides of the court.

At the end of the second quarter, he made a double change of direction with a very low center of gravity and a large amplitude, causing Horford to fall to the ground in front of his beautiful girlfriend, Miss Universe Emily Vega.

That night, Horford, who wanted to play a great game under the watchful eyes of his girlfriend, never recovered.

Fortunately, the thoughtful Emily prepared a No. 30 Golden State Warriors jersey early in the morning.

After the game, Emily looked at her depressed boyfriend who only got 4 points, 4 rebounds and 6 fouls in the whole game. After she tied her hair up and put on the Warriors jersey, she said to Horford: "Honey, will this make you feel better?"

Feeling better?
More than just better?
His eyes turned to the "attack speed outfit" on Emily.

And her "attack speed hairstyle" that can make countless men fall in love with her. Horford's depression at being bullied by Qin Yue on the court was instantly transformed into the motivation for him to discuss life with Emily.

However.
In the NBA, not everyone has a beautiful and considerate girlfriend like Horford.

such as
Duncan left San Antonio early to discover that his wife Amy had been having an affair with a fitness trainer.

"You know, I invested in that fitness club."

"I was wondering why she would go back to San Antonio to work out after I left."

"I also invested in a gym in Boston, but she just had a special liking for the one in San Antonio."

"So I hired a private investigator."

"As expected, she had betrayed me a long time ago."

"But what I didn't expect was that she would file for divorce against me first and demand nearly $100 million in breakup settlement from me in court."

"Besides, I have always been surrounded by male friends."

"You know, she even called me a lesbian."

Led the team to defeat the Celtics on the road that night.

After hearing about Duncan's recent bad experience, Qin Yue
Qin Yue was in a trance and recalled Duncan's absent-minded performance at the previous All-Star Weekend.

However, as a person who has been through this, Qin Yue is very confident that Duncan will win the next lawsuit.

Because Qin Yue remembered
Due to sufficient evidence, Duncan will not only win the custody of the child in the next lawsuit, but in the end he only needs to pay his ex-wife $700 million to successfully divorce.

Although $700 million is by no means a small sum of money in any era.

But considering Duncan's current wealth
He could already be secretly happy that he could solve this cuckold problem with just 700 million US dollars.

"I will never believe in love and marriage again."

On this day, Duncan, who was cuckolded by Amy himself, said with an extremely sad face.

Hearing this, Qin Yue smiled and said, "Welcome back to the single nobles, my dear senior."

It will still take time for "Hulk" Duncan to win the next lawsuit.

In the team's next road trip in the East.
The back-to-back schedule carefully arranged by the league for the Warriors caused them to fail in the games against the Bulls and Wizards.

If the Warriors lost to the Wizards, they at least lost to a team that was competing for a playoff ticket in the Eastern Conference.

The Warriors lost to the Bulls purely because they were dragged down by the exhausting schedule.

Only look at the paper strength
The Bulls, which have a number of strong players such as Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrich, Joakim Noah, and Anderson Varejao, are not weak.

However, the top pick in 2008
Is it Derrick Rose, the "Son of the Windy City" created by Adidas at great expense in order to fight back against the Nike empire?

Although according to NCAA regulations, Rose has to wait until before the draft to officially sign with Adidas.

But just as Nike couldn't wait for James and Qin Yue to run before hooking up with them, Adidas can't wait three months before building momentum for Rose.

The second-lowest probability of winning the first pick in NBA history
In Qin Yue's memory, historically, the Bulls will have a 1.7% chance of drawing this year's No. pick and use it to select Chicago-born Rose.

Yes, the Bulls' main mission this season is not even to tank.

Instead, we just need to find a way to stay away from the playoffs.

Because as long as they fail to make the playoffs, the league will help them find a way to send the No. 1 pick that will ensure they select the "Windy City Rose" to Chicago in the name of fairness, justice and openness.

Qin Yue knew very well that the No. 2008 pick in was a predetermined pick that no one could get from the Bulls.

Just like this year
Nike executives have hinted to him many times that as long as he can lead the Warriors back to the upper half of the Western Conference, Nike will mobilize all its connections to secure the regular season MVP trophy for him.

In private, Nike executive Lynn Merritt said to Qin Yue, "Given your current lineup and the injuries you continue to suffer, I think it will be difficult for you to defend your title.

But the MVP trophy belongs to you."

This season, Qin Yue's technical statistics are extremely exaggerated.

截至二月，秦岳场均能为勇士轰下36.8分14.0篮板8.7助攻3.9封盖1.4抢断。

As we all know, once Nike's deification campaign begins, it will be impossible to stop.

So even if Qin Yue cannot lead the Warriors to a three-peat this year, Nike will do its best to secure the MVP trophy for him that will enhance his historical status.

However, Qin Yue disagreed with Merritt's statement: "The Warriors will definitely return to the top half of the Western Conference before the end of the regular season, and our goal this season is still to defend the title."

Compared with Qin Yue, who is optimistic and confident, Merritt is realistic.

Davis' season-ending injury and Wallace's unexpected injury have already had an irreversible impact on the Warriors' overall strength.

Moreover, in the Western Conference surrounded by strong opponents, it is impossible for Qin Yue to perform like a god in every game.

of course
In order to avoid affecting Qin Yue's high morale since the night in New York, Merritt finally said: "I believe you have the ability to do all this. After all, you are the Messiah of the Bay Area."

……

Ended the eight-game road streak in the Eastern Conference.

Time flies and it is the "suffocating March" with an even more intense and devilish schedule.

As the season approaches, each team will face a more intensive schedule, and those teams aiming to advance to the playoffs will compete to make their mark.
Therefore, this is also the period in the NBA where injuries are most frequent and accidents are most likely to occur every year.

In early February, the Los Angeles Lakers, who had a complete lineup, are now full of injuries.

then
In the third regular season matchup with the Warriors at home in March.
Because Lowry, Ellis and Gasol Jr. were all absent due to injuries, Phil Jackson was even forced to use Kobe to play the point guard role in the game.

Last summer, Sun Yue, who was selected by the Lakers in the draft, got 7 minutes of playing time in this game.

2投0中的他总计为湖人砍下了0分1篮板0助攻1封盖0抢断2次犯规以及1次失误。

Although Qin Yue had done his best in the previous "God's Choice Training Camp", Kobe also showed great care for Sun Yue in the Lakers' daily training.

But it's obvious.
Even if Qin Yue and Kobe teamed up to torture him, it would be difficult to save Sun Wukong's rebellious heart.

Qin Yue knew very well that Sun Yue's talent would make him unique among Asian forwards and guards even in later generations.

But his incomprehensible ambition destined him to fail in the NBA.

On the night of the game, the two teams with incomplete lineups fought back and forth at the Staples Center.

Before the game, Qin Yue met the Asian girl who looked very similar to Suzuki Airi again at a Japanese fried steak restaurant called "Kobe-Gyukatsu". Over a delicious meal of "Kobe fried steak", he once again relieved the increasing pressure on his shoulders.

This season, Ma Long, who has always trusted Qin Yue, boldly encouraged Qin Yue after seeing his good form that night: "I support you no matter how you want to play. If you want to take 50 shots, that would be even better."

Just as Qin Yue remembered, Ma Long was the kind of head coach who was always more anxious than the star player during the game.

In later life, he would often get furious when Jokic was one or two stats short of a triple-double, and denounce Jokic’s indifference to stats, saying, “Joker, did you not eat enough, or did you drink too much Coke?

Do you know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and that every technical statistic is your asset in competing with other stars in the future? "

Malone likes his star players to produce better stats.

Because this also means his success as a head coach.

just
In order to continue his dominance in Los Angeles, Qin Yue was destined to fail to realize Ma Long's wish that he would take fifty shots in this game.

On the court, Qin Yue, who was frequently double-teamed after pick-and-rolls, made a total of 18 assists that night.

With his help, Kwame Brown achieved star center data of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.

But McRoberts, who replaced Murphy in this game, continued his poor performance in his rookie season.

This supporting center who was busy lifting weights last summer has only a 39% shooting percentage and a 20% three-point shooting percentage this season.

McRoberts' shooting touch, which can only be described as ice-cold, makes it impossible for him to show his basketball IQ and passing ability on the court.

after all
Since everyone knows you can't vote accurately.
Then wouldn't it be better to just leave you alone at the top of the arc to play like Green in later generations?

Fortunately, Barnes, who is in love this year, has regained his shooting accuracy.

In the fourth quarter of the tit-for-tat match between the Lakers and the Warriors, Barnes made 7 of 5 shots, including 4 of 3 three-pointers, becoming the second contributor to Qin Yue's conquest of Los Angeles again.

The final score was 110 to 105.

After the game, looking at Kobe who scored 40 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the Lakers, Qin Yue smiled and said, "Kobe, do you know what the happiest thing in the world is?"

After a pause, Qin Yue added: "Of course, eat, sleep, and play Kobe!"

On the court, every time he visited Los Angeles, Qin Yue’s main goal was to beat Kobe.

And under the stadium
After conquering Los Angeles again with great joy, Qin Yue asked someone to buy a No. 24 Lakers jersey for him, and that night he let "Suzuki Airi", with whom he had a special connection, wear the jersey.

However, after enjoying this delicious meal, Qin Yue's mood was still difficult to improve.

Because he knows very well that compared to the Warriors, the Lakers, who are full of injuries, are just temporarily incomplete.

The next day.

Rookie McRoberts, who did not remember Mike Malone's teachings during the offseason and spent several months working out, had a poor shooting touch in his rookie season and became the target of Qin Yue's bullying.

After throwing the stinky socks that the team had been hoarding for a week to McRoberts, Qin Yue said grimly: "This is a punishment for your poor performance, and it is also the last warning to you.

Josh, if you don't understand your role in this team, you better get out of here."

Faced with Qin Yue's blatant "bullying", McRoberts obviously did not dare to openly contradict this supreme figure in the Warriors.

But this bullying was just the beginning.

Because trash has to do what trash is supposed to do.

So in the Warriors' next journey, McRoberts will have to take on various errands in the team and carry bags and shoes for all his teammates.

This
This also made McRoberts begin to wonder whether Qin Yue's targeting of him was related to his playing for Duke during his college years.

Since the feud between Wake Forest and Duke has a long history, McRoberts' suspicion is not groundless.

However.
Hill, who is also a Duke alumnus, said to McRoberts: "Josh, the Messiah is not as narrow-minded as you think."

"If he really disliked you because you were a Duke player, you would have been sent to the Warriors long ago."

Hill knew very well that Qin Yue had always been concerned about McRoberts' growth.

However, the Warriors' performance this season, which failed to satisfy everyone, has caused Qin Yue to quietly begin to move closer to Michael Jordan back then.

During the game, Qin Yue, who has to fight for the team, cannot be like a good brother and care about his teammates who perform poorly on the training ground.

Moreover, he is the kind of good guy who would rather suffer himself than let his teammates suffer.
In Qin Yue's view, whoever wants to play can play it, anyway, he will not let himself be wronged.

If McRoberts is unwilling to take the responsibility of a rubbish player despite such a rubbish performance,
In Qin Yue's heart, there is no place for him on the Warriors, a galactic battleship that will only aim for the championship.

"If you want to be a nice guy, I might as well play house!"

Defeated the Lakers on the road.

The Warriors then rushed to Phoenix without stopping.

Before the trade deadline, Suns general manager Steve Kerr, who traded for the sake of trading, has successfully transformed the Suns from a championship contender to an ordinary strong team.

The Suns, who traded Shawn Marion to the Dallas Mavericks for Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse, have been in such a bad state since the trade that nothing seems to be going right.

The most intuitive thing is that they traded back Howard and Stackhouse.
They only won four games but lost as many as ten.

Kerr, who originally thought that Howard could make up for the Suns' lack of ball-handling offensive ability, never expected that D'Antoni's tactical system would be so dependent on Marion.

On the court, without Marion's wide-ranging running and diligent help defense, the Suns suffered a devastating blow on both offense and defense.

In addition, Stackhouse, whose form has declined, is no longer as brave as he used to be.

In Dallas, Stackhouse, who always gets shooting opportunities next to Nowitzki, has become accustomed to playing as a spot shooter in the game.

Available in Phoenix.
He can only charge with Barbosa when he comes on the bench. Not only is he inefficient, but he also always becomes the team's offensive terminator on the court.

but
It is obviously impossible for Kerr, a trading genius, to take the blame for this extremely failed deal.

As a famous non-stick pan in later generations
As the Suns' recent performance has declined, Kerr immediately put all the blame on the team's head coach D'Antoni.

It is only a matter of time before this once famous Suns team completely disintegrates.

Because Kerr, who was trying to pass the buck, had issued an ultimatum to D'Antoni:

As long as the Suns cannot make a breakthrough this season, D'Antoni will be pushed as far away as possible.

For Nash, a two-time NBA regular season MVP, this is undoubtedly the darkest moment since he returned to Phoenix.

After the game, Qin Yue, who shared the same pain as Nash, both complained about the "brain-destroying" team management.

Warriors president Rowell wants to save money for team owners
This indirectly led to Artest's self-destruction, and Davis, who wanted to prove himself, further increased his own injury risk through high-intensity training in a summer when he most needed rest, which led to his current situation of being reimbursed for the season.

The Suns have completely lost the possibility of competing for the championship this season due to Kerr's stupid trade.

Qin Yue didn't believe that the Suns, who had lost their former system, could make it to the end of the playoffs.

In this regard, Nash, who also did not believe that the Suns still had a chance to win the championship, frowned and said: "It seems that I have to think seriously about the future this summer."

Hearing this, Qin Yue nodded and said, “Steve, don’t let that damn loyalty hurt you.”

Nash smiled and said: "Although it was indeed the Suns who selected me that year, I don't owe this city anything."

"Steve, if you plan to change teams during the offseason, I strongly suggest that you choose the Warriors." Qin Yue said, "You know, I have always admired you. In my mind, you are incredibly strong."

"Warriors fans once cursed me that I would never win a championship. Are you sure you want to team up with a cursed player?" Nash said, thinking Qin Yue was joking with him.

But the next second, Qin Yue said: "Then we can take this opportunity to break the curse. Believe me, fans are the most real people in the world. As long as you choose to join the Warriors, they will definitely sing praises for you immediately."

Qin Yue’s serious expression made Nash silent.

Because after finding out that the other party was not joking with him, Nash found
In the future Warriors, he seems to have the perfect space to play.

Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Richardson. Coupled with his own passing, what kind of fascinating picture would that be?
