Chapter 244 The Most Dominant Dynasty

Barkley's question was answered in the Warriors' next game against the Hawks in Atlanta.

CCTV broadcast the match live at 7:30 a.m. on the 6th.

Before the game started, Yu Jia said, "ESPN recently released some very interesting data: when Stephen Curry and Qin Yue are on the court at the same time, this inside-outside combination can outscore their opponents by as many as 18 points per 100 possessions."

Su Qun, who was commentating alongside Yu Jia, said: "From Baron Davis in the early days, to Steve Nash later, and now Curry, from a visual perspective, the combination of Qin Yue and Curry has indeed caused the most amazing damage to the opponent's defense."

Yu Jia laughed and said, "After they combined for 88 points in the last game, domestic fans even gave this duo a new nickname: the Nuclear Qin and Nuclear Li Combination."

Su Qun chimed in, "When Curry and Qin Yue both explode on the court at the same time, they are indeed like two nuclear bombs."

That night, Nash rested again for the away game against the Hawks.

On the night of the game, facing the Hawks led by Joe Johnson, Deron Williams, Josh Smith, and Kawhi Leonard, Qin Yue delivered a near-perfect individual performance at Philips Arena, rekindling the long-dormant memories of the Hawks fans in attendance.

"Shady! Shady! Shady!"

On the court, when Qin Yue scored his 61st point of the game in the fourth quarter and was substituted, Curry, a self-proclaimed "fake Qin Yue fan," asked with a curious look, "Why are the fans here shouting 'rigged'?"

no doubt.

This fully exposes the fact that Curry is not a die-hard fan of Qin.

Because everyone knows the true secrets of the Qin Dynasty.
Since Qin Yue entered the NBA, the group of people who most want to use a nuclear bomb to level the NBA headquarters building are Hawks fans.

In the eyes of Atlanta fans, if it weren't for that incompetent and corrupt league, the team raising four championship banners in the arena right now should be them!
Originally
In recent years, time has gradually healed the pain that the loss of Qin Yue brought to the people of Atlanta.

But in this game, when Qin Yue crushed the Hawks with his full power, the Hawks fans in the arena were instantly reminded of that summer they would never forget.

That summer, even ESPN believed they had a 99% chance of winning the number one draft pick and selecting Qin Yue.

"The Golden State Warriors are the thieves of championships!"

"They have stolen our gods!"

"They stole our championship trophy!"

In the stands, as shouts of abuse came from all directions, if you were to ask just how much Atlanta residents truly hated the Warriors and the NBA...
Even a newborn baby in Atlanta would probably yell "FUCK!" to tell you that their hatred for the Warriors and the league will not dissipate even after ten thousand years.

Of course, after the insults...
As the close-up shot once again focused on Qin Yue, the stadium, which can hold 20,000 people, once again expressed their highest respect for the god of basketball with cheers that resounded throughout the dome.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

On the sidelines, Qin Yue, who is known for his antics with away fans, even stood up and interacted with the fans at the Philips Center, a rare occurrence for him.

TNT quoted Barkley as saying, "Is he really a visiting player and not the owner of this arena?"

Smith chuckled, "I'm curious, if the Hawks and Warriors meet in the Finals, does that mean the Warriors will have seven home games?"

The exceptional Qin Yue, leading his Pacific Fleet, enjoyed a whole night of adoration in Atlanta.

With GOAT scoring 50+ points in his eighth consecutive game, whether he can score 50+ points in nine consecutive games has naturally become the most pressing question for fans.

"Aircraft carriers cannot sail on land."

Ahead of the Warriors' next game against the Bulls, the San Francisco Chronicle jokingly remarked that Qin Yue's record would continue.

Because of this season, the San Francisco Chronicle gave Qin Yue a new nickname: "China's Aircraft Carrier," and referred to the entire Warriors team as the Pacific Fleet under his leadership.
Therefore, the Chicago media's mockery of the San Francisco Chronicle can also be seen as the Bulls having made thorough preparations in Chicago.

In the NBA, where no one wants to be a background player, the Bulls are eager to end Qin Yue's streak of 50+ point games with their tough defense at home in the United Center.

As one of the few teams still playing against the meta this season, the Bulls certainly have the potential to end Qin Yue's record if you only look at the statistics.

Because this team, which allows only 89 points per game on average, has only had one player score 30+ points at the United Center so far this season.

That player's name is LeBron James.

In that game, James, with his devastating free throw power, scored 33 points at the United Center, making 17 of 21 free throws.

On the night of the match, during the entrance ceremony...
As the United Center resounded the song "Sirius," which Qin Yue remembered as "the divine melody."
Subsequently, Qin Yue, who had been in "The Zone" since the start of the game and had not left since, quickly proved the Chicago media wrong with his actions.

Aircraft carriers indeed cannot sail on land.

But as early as 1453, the Ottomans had already demonstrated to the world that boats could travel on dry land.

Moreover, compared to Constantinople in 1453.
In 2012, Chicago did not have the Theodosius Wall that could stop Qin Yue.

On the field, no matter how much Tom Thibodeau's team slowed down the pace of the game, Qin Yue only needed one move to calmly deal with it.

United Center, Warriors' offensive possession.

He was in a low position, facing David West, who had moved from the New Orleans Hornets to the Chicago team last summer.

And he was double-teamed by the Bulls.

First, he pretended to turn inward.

Then, with the pivot foot clearly positioned, Qin Yue elegantly executed a near-perfect inside penetration for the Warriors with his dreamlike footwork.

Admittedly, in the last two seasons, due to his increasingly high outside scoring efficiency, Qin Yue has rarely shown his dominance in the low post in order to avoid injuries.

However, in this game, the Bulls tried to slow down the pace of the game and force the Warriors to play a half-court game to prevent Qin Yue from scoring.

Qin Yue naturally had to use his inside footwork, which even Da Meng would acknowledge as expert, to teach the overly naive Thibodeau a lesson.

Again.

It's not that low-post back-to-the-basket moves are bad.

However, outside shots and fast breaks are more cost-effective in the regular season.

In the first half, Qin Yue, who made all his shots in the low post, made 11 of 15 field goals and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points for the Warriors in just one half.

In an effort to stop Qin Yue from scoring, Thibodeau relentlessly double-teamed Qin Yue in the second half.

On the court, the Warriors are on offense.

He used a shoulder feint to shake off West in front of him.

He shoved aside Luol Deng, who was guarding West on the wing.

And then faced the help defense from "Little Tyrant" Stoudemire.

The next second, it transformed into a giant's axe.

After leaping into the air, Qin Yue delivered a terrifying one-handed slam dunk, making the Bulls' half-court rim rattle.

"Are three people enough, Tom?"

After landing from the dunk, Qin Yue turned his gaze to Thibodeau on the Bulls' bench and questioned him sharply.

The final score was 110 to 84.

The Warriors crushed the Bulls on the road.

And what about Qin Yue?

After scoring 51 points for the Warriors, the unstoppable new GOAT since the All-Star break has now scored 50 or more points in nine consecutive games. In the post-game press conference, Thibodeau bluntly stated, "I don't know how to contain him on the court anymore. If you know, please tell me."

Nine consecutive "50+" scores.

If you don't understand, ask: Does Qin Yue deserve three consecutive MVP awards?

In March, Qin Yue's incredible streak of consecutive 50+ point games finally came to an end with 11 games.

Away game against the Bobcats.

Under the watchful eye of the former basketball god, Qin Yue scored 54 points at the Time Warner Arena.

Back to home ground.

They will face the New Orleans Hornets, who will be renamed the Pelicans next season.

Qin Yue scored 52 points in just three quarters.

Until the Warriors faced the SuperSonics again.

Kevin Garnett, seemingly past his prime, and his teammates finally ended Qin Yue's streak of 50+ point games.

only.
Only Garnett knew that the reason Qin Yue didn't score 50+ points in this game was simply because he used a "face-saving" tactic on him.

"Give me some face, we're already down by 19 points."

At the end of the third quarter, Garnett suddenly said to Qin Yue, who had already scored 41 points for the Warriors, "You are not allowed to play in the fourth quarter before I do."

Qin Yue gave Garnett this face.

then
He never had another chance to play.

Because of the first half of the fourth quarter
The other nuclear bomb from the nuclear Qin-nuclear combination turned the rest of the game into garbage time.

Since joining the league, Qin Yue has never chosen to pad his stats during garbage time.

Therefore, the face that Garnett had Qin Yue give him earlier ultimately helped him end Qin Yue's streak of "50+" games.

"Your streak of 50+ games came to an abrupt end to this night. Do you feel sorry about it?"

"Regret? Why should I regret it? You know I've never cared about any records."

"Aside from the season you missed due to injury, this is your sixth season in the NBA, and your total number of '20+' points in a single quarter has now risen to the all-time leader (40 times). In your opinion, is this enough to prove that you are the most explosive scorer in NBA history?"

"You know, I only like to speak with facts. Since the data has proven that I am the most explosive scorer in the NBA, then I can only say, yes, I am the most explosive scorer."

"After scoring 50+ points in 11 consecutive games, your career regular season 50+ point games have risen to second all-time. Are you confident that you can eventually top the all-time list for this record?"

"Who is the current all-time number one, and how many times do I still need to go before him?"

"Wilt Chamberlain, he has a total of 118 '50+' games, you are currently 77 games away from him."

"."

118 times with scores of 50+?
Although Qin Yue knew that the NBA was far less competitive in Chamberlain's era than it is now.

But whenever Qin Yue thought about how he was still 77 "50+" times away from surpassing Chamberlain, he couldn't help but feel just how urgent his time was.

However, in the remaining games of this season, Qin Yue is destined not to be as crazy as during his 11-game streak of "50+" games.

With the playoffs approaching, Qin Yue had to delegate authority to allow the other Warriors players to find their rhythm in the game.

Nothing.

Since this Warriors team is aiming for a three-peat.

No matter how strong Qin Yue's desire to rack up points was...
He must delegate more opportunities to his teammates before the playoffs begin.

Qin Yue's changes are positive for the entire team.

Furthermore, Qin Yue's delegation of authority has added another advantage to his path to a three-peat MVP award.

From the end of All-Star Weekend until April of that year, the Warriors went on a winning streak of 24 games, breaking their own franchise record for the longest winning streak.

That's right, this is a record that the Warriors had never achieved even in their previous 75-win season.

As April of that year approached, Qin Yue, who possessed notable moments, impressive statistics, and a strong team record, was ready to step up.
To be honest.

Even David Stern, who has always adhered to the basic rules of the NBA regular season awards, doesn't know what reason he could possibly have to give this year's MVP to someone else.

New York, NBA headquarters.

Stern then said to his two assistants, Silver and Mark, "His performance this season has left me with no reason not to award him the MVP."

Upon hearing this, Mark and Silver both nodded and said, "David, there's nothing we can do about it. Because you can't even find a second player who comes close to him in terms of statistics."

This season, Stern did consider promoting one or two young players to compete with Qin Yue.

For example, LeBron James.

For example, Derrick Rose.

just
With multiple superstars on the Knicks, how could James possibly get the same ball possession as Qin Yue unless he chooses to disrupt the team's current chemistry?
And what about Rose?

Under Thibodeau's unconventional tactical system, Rose's average stats this season are only 24 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.

In addition, the Bulls are now 15 games behind the Warriors in wins.

But Van Stein dared to award the MVP to Rose.
At that time, the NBA regular season MVP will inevitably become an award with absolutely no value.

Therefore, this season, it wasn't just Qin Yue's performance that left Stern with no other choice.

It was also the performance of other players that left Stern with no other choice than Qin Yue.

Now, Qin Yue has personally cleared all the obstacles on his path to a three-peat MVP award.

Whether the Warriors can maintain their winning streak in the final stages of April has become the most pressing question for fans.

If the Warriors can remain undefeated in the remainder of their games...
Then they will achieve their second-best regular season record in franchise history:

—70 wins.

Furthermore, they will also tie the Lakers' record of 33 consecutive regular season wins.

This is a record set by the Lakers in the 1971/1972 season.

It's worth noting that at that time, the Lakers' star players were Jerry West and Gail Goodrich.

In addition, the Lakers at that time also included Wilt Chamberlain, who was nearing the end of his career, and Pat Riley, the current godfather of the Heat.

Forty years later, the Warriors have the opportunity to catch up with another long-forgotten ancient record.

On TNT, Barkley said, "Every step the Warriors take now is contributing to the creation of the most dominant dynasty in NBA history."
