Chapter 231 Justice Will Prevail! (Two chapters completed, begging for monthly votes and subscriptions!)
After Game 2 of the Finals, unlike James, who was busy with locker room politics.

Having gotten a general idea of ​​the Knicks' strength through the first two games, Qin Yue, before leading the Warriors to New York, still earnestly reminded each of his teammates: "A 2-0 lead does not mean we have won this Finals series. Only when everything is settled can we celebrate this great season as the number one winner."

Qin Yue did not want to lose this finals series due to underestimating the Warriors' overwhelming strength.

That's right. Even after the first two games, the Warriors have proven that they are the more dominant team in this Finals series.

But in the next three consecutive away games
The Warriors are not without the possibility of being reversed and overturned by the Knicks.

Since entering the playoffs, especially in games played at Madison Square Garden, the Knicks have averaged a staggering 33 free throw attempts per game.

And what about their opponents?
The answer is only 18 times.

In other words, with both teams having similar free throw percentages, the Knicks can maintain a 15-point lead at home every night.

With the advantage of playing at home, the Warriors will face a group of formidable refereeing experts on the road.

Therefore, Qin Yue knew better than anyone that the Warriors absolutely could not afford to underestimate their opponents at Madison Square Garden.

otherwise
Several of the opponent's Whistlefire Lotuses came crashing down, and even a cosmic team like the Warriors could only gasp in shock and marvel at how terrifying the Whistle Sect experts were.

On the evening of the 9th.

Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and the Knicks took place at Madison Square Garden.

Compared to his previous visits here, with the Knicks returning to the Finals after a twelve-year absence, Qin Yue can no longer enjoy the home-court advantage he used to have in New York.

The entrance ceremony phase.

As the arena was filled with boos, Barkley laughed on TNT, "I don't even need to watch the broadcast; I can tell from the sound that the player coming on the court right now is Messiah."

Back at home, the Knicks continued with their starting lineup from Game 2: Mozgov, James, Iguodala, Durant, and Harden.

For the Warriors, the lineup remains the same: Brown, Qin Yue, Wallace, Bell, and Nash.

In the first quarter, right from the start, Wallace, who was called for fouls in two consecutive defensive possessions, was the first to feel Durant's inviolability at Madison Square Garden.

However, if possible.
Durant would probably prefer that Wallace hadn't received those two defensive fouls.

Because after Jamison replaced the foul-plagued Wallace, Warriors head coach Mike Malone did not have Jamison play small forward to match up against Durant.

Instead, Brown and Jamison will partner in the frontcourt, with Qin Yue taking over the defense against Durant.

It turns out
Unless the referee is an inexperienced rookie like James Williams, even in New York, the referee wouldn't dare to make biased calls during Qin Yue's defense.

结果
When Durant faced Qin Yue, who was not only strong but also matched up against him, the "New York Messiah" quickly lost his way on the court under the intense pressure from Qin Yue.

Durant's offensive lapse is a terrible thing for this Knicks team.

But James unexpectedly benefited from Qin Yue being away from the paint and having to match up against Durant.

After all, Durant is not the only powerful Sentinel in New York.
On the court, when Brown was substituted by Ben Wallace after committing two fouls in the first quarter, the second-greatest center in history said indignantly, "With their hype, the Knicks have no chance of losing at home!"

Is it really impossible for the Knicks to lose at home?

Qin Yue said: Not necessarily.

Unlike the previous two matches where he only demonstrated dominance in crucial rounds.

Because the situation was very unfavorable for the Warriors from the very beginning, Qin Yue took over the game almost from the first quarter.

And Iguodala, who thought Qin Yue was already terrifying enough in the first two games, truly felt Qin Yue playing at full power for the Warriors that night.

Madison Square Garden, Warriors' offensive possession.

First, he relentlessly chased Iguodala on the perimeter, then dribbled into the paint, and despite Mozgov's imposing presence, he slammed the ball into the basket. At that moment, what could Iguodala do in the face of Qin Yue's domineering style except kneel down and sing "Conquer"?
In the next round, Qin Yue will again be playing one-on-one in the high position.

A powerful smash followed by a change of direction.

On the field, when Qin Yue, who moved as swiftly as the wind, was like a gentle breeze, Iguodala almost instantly knelt down before Qin Yue's incredibly impressive combination of man and ball.

In the first quarter alone, Qin Yue scored a total of 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

On the scoreboard, the Warriors, playing away, were leading 35-31.

In the second quarter, Qin Yue, who had carried the team through the entire quarter, was the first to receive fire support from artillery battalion commander Curry.

This could very well be the highlight of Curry's career so far.

因为在第二节总计10分45秒的上场时间里，9投7中，其中三分球8投6中，罚球2罚2中的库里，也完成了总决赛单节“20+”的惊人之举。

In the history of the NBA Finals, there has never been a time when two players on the same team scored 20+ points in a single quarter.

But that night, under the pull of the Great Qin's gravity, the God of Three Kingdoms in Qin Yue's memory began to show his true colors.

At halftime, the Warriors, trailing 10 to 24 in free throws, led 71 to 58 in the overall score.

The consecutive outbursts from Qin Yue and Curry made the refereeing decisions that favored the Knicks that night seem like a joke.

The intermission is over.

In the second half, unwilling to accept such a crushing defeat fueled by the referee's calls, the Knicks, led by James, launched an even more ferocious attack on the Warriors' paint.

However, the Knicks players on the court were essentially begging for food.
The referees couldn't really make the Knicks be fined all night, and it wasn't like James and others thought, that the referees would call fouls as long as they asked.

Furthermore, in the third quarter, the Warriors witnessed another player's divine intervention.

The effects of decreased receptor function.

When James, who hadn't rested for a minute, inevitably reached his physical limit, Jamison, who happened to be traveling at off-peak times, then unleashed a crazy scoring performance at Madison Square Garden.

Under the combined influence of the Qin gravity and the Coulomb gravity.

Jamison, who never imagined scoring could be so easy, made 8 of 10 field goals in the quarter, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, becoming the third Warriors player in the game to score 20+ points in a single quarter!

TNT quoted Barkley as saying, "When three players on the same team each score 20+ points in a single quarter, honestly, I really can't think of any reason why the Warriors lost tonight."

It can be said that this was a match in which Qin Yue perfectly demonstrated his influence on the field.

It was Qin Yue's phenomenal performance in the first quarter that reminded the Knicks players of the "Big Demon King" who scored 101 points for the Warriors in the Christmas Day game.
Therefore, Curry and Jamison were able to achieve the feat of scoring 20+ points in the second and third quarters respectively.

On the court, as the score gap widened, the Knicks had no choice but to concede defeat.

The final score was 131 to 111.

The Warriors crushed the Knicks on the road, taking a 3-0 lead in the Finals. Meanwhile, the Knicks, trailing 0-3, are in despair, both for their players and fans.

Because of the 0-3 deficit, the Knicks' fate was essentially sealed.

As for Durant, who has had a series of poor performances?

Without a doubt, even if Durant were to use a smurf account to argue with fans after the game, he would likely be bombarded with insults by the Knicks fans.

Throughout the game, Durant only made 7 of 24 shots and practically slunk away from Madison Square Garden.

反倒是比赛里10投7中，其中三分球3投1中，罚球24罚17中，总计砍下32分9篮板7助攻詹姆斯，依旧保持了良好的心态。

In a post-match interview, he said, "I still hold the same view: 'KD' is our winning trump card. I don't think people should lose faith in a player of 'KD' caliber after just one or two games."

When James once again stood up for himself after the game, Durant's favorability towards James increased by 10086 almost instantly.

“Brown, I saw it coming a long time ago. Only you understand me,” Durant said. “In this game, Messiah guarded me all night. Those stupid fans have no idea what kind of defense I was facing on the court.”

James responded: You're right.

However, children
You might not know that while you were taking the blame for one thing after another, your buddy had quietly seized power you could never have imagined.

As is well known, in the NBA, when a player gets a free throw opportunity, unless it is a "2+1" or "3+1", the shot he takes before the free throw will not be counted in his statistics.

so.
Don't be fooled by the fact that James only took 10 shots in Game 3.

But if you include the 24 free throws he got, the actual ball possession he had in the game was already comparable to Durant's.

Indeed, James has taken a dramatic turn for the better and has established his dominance in this Knicks team.

The low-key and patient LeBron James is about to become a thing of the past.

In a daze, James even involuntarily thanked his former good brother.

Because in the first game of the Finals, James' enlightenment began with Qin Yue's "humiliation" of Iguodala.

In fact, before Qin Yue "humiliated" Iguodala, James was already on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Qin Yue's humiliation of Iguodala not only made James feel relieved.

Furthermore, since then, James, having calmed down, has discovered a path he had never imagined.

Now, the Knicks may be about to lose this Finals series.

But after this year's Finals, who could have imagined that James's status within the Knicks would be so different from what it used to be?
"Do you think we still have a chance, Brown?" Down 0-3 in the series, Durant looked at James in despair and asked.

Upon hearing this, James smiled and said, "Of course there is hope. The Warriors were only able to win the last game because Messiah's teammates played too well."

At this moment, do you think James doesn't know that Curry and Jamison's explosive performance on the court is due to Qin Yue's Great Qin Gravity?
No.

James was just pointing at Durant.

In Game 3 of the Finals, Durant had no other teammates he could trust on the Knicks besides him.

Especially Westbrook, who had just played a good game but started having problems in the third game.

Then the problem is coming.

Is Durant using such an obvious tactic to sow discord?
James didn't know.

But he knew that Durant and Westbrook hadn't spoken for a while.

6 month 12 day.

Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Warriors and the Knicks continued at Madison Square Garden.

Before the game, James gave an interview on behalf of the Knicks.

A reporter asked, "If the Knicks are swept by the Warriors in the Finals this year, it will be the second time in your career that you have been swept in the Finals. What are your thoughts on this?"

With his mood improving day by day and even his brain functioning faster, James said without hesitation: "You know, I fight hard every night to win, but sometimes things don't go as planned. I think people shouldn't focus too much on my sweep in the Finals, but rather on my fighting spirit on the court."

In addition, James added, "You know, Shaq was swept three times in the Finals, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a great player."

James's fluent answers impressed even the reporter who asked him the question.

And in that night's game, James certainly demonstrated his fighting spirit to the world.

That night, Malone realized that if Qin Yue were to focus on defending Durant, the Warriors would have an easier time winning, so he didn't give James any special attention.

As a result, with the help of the referee at Madison Square Garden, James delivered two consecutive highlight performances.

"This isn't basketball at all!" Brown complained during the second half after accidentally touching a hair on James' body and fouling out with his sixth personal foul. "The NBA should just hold a free throw contest just for him!"

But complaining is complaining.

In the fourth quarter, Brown, who was fouled out early, ironically got the chance to pour an iced drink over the head of the team's head coach, Ma.

That was a Warriors offensive possession before the Knicks were about to pull all their starters.

Noticing that Warriors staff were already carrying celebratory drinks and champagne, Brown took the lead, grabbed a large bucket of chilled beverage, and poured it over the top of the horse's head without hesitation.

"Damn it!"

On the sidelines, Malone, who had been thoroughly humiliated by Brown, was jumping up and down in anger, but also exclaiming with immense joy, "Give me another bucket of that damn thing!"

In the third game, Brown said that with the whistle of Madison Square Garden, no team could conquer it.

But now, the Warriors are about to conquer the holy land of basketball in two consecutive games.

why?
因为这一晚，秦岳在被换下前为勇士砍下的58分18篮板10助攻4封盖2抢断，早已让比赛里负责和他对位的伊戈达拉只剩下了一盒骨灰。

"What the New York media said before the game was absolutely right: evil can never triumph over justice!"

In the latter part of the fourth quarter, as the Knicks conceded defeat, Brown said, "Justice will prevail!"

Meanwhile, Ben Wallace, who was also ejected after receiving his sixth personal foul, shouted, "Justice will prevail!"
