Chapter 201: Reaching the top again! World champion! (Second update, begging for monthly subscription!)
After the first four games, the Celtics’ chances of winning the championship are only theoretical.

In this era, there has never been a case where a team leading 3-1 in the finals has been overturned.

And after Game 3, even if David Stern wants to continue selling tickets, he has to consider whether Bay Area fans will blow up the NBA’s headquarters building in New York afterwards.

At present, the internal investigation into Joey Crawford has not yet reached a conclusion.

Although Stern knew that this internal investigation was doomed to fail.

But after that game that was universally recognized as “blatantly black”, the league’s penalty standards have long become the target of public criticism.

In the first four games, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the Warriors, with Qin Yue, were the side that attacked the basket more frequently, but in the end, they had nearly 30 fewer free throws than the Celtics.

Can’t take care of the Celtics anymore.

Stern knew it well.
No matter how much attention this round of the finals gets, the league can no longer favor the Celtics as it did in Game 3.

A day later, Game 5 of the Finals between the Warriors and the Celtics continued at the TD Garden.

This is the second year that the NBA officially renamed the Finals Most Valuable Player Award to the “Bill Russell Finals Most Valuable Player Award”.
No one knows what kind of mood Russell, the “Lord of the Rings” who presented this honor to his arch-rival star Kobe Bryant at the Staples Center last year, was feeling before the start of this game.

When Russell is very likely to personally hand over the FMVP trophy to Qin Yue on this night, when the O’Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest team honor in the NBA, has been transported to Boston as usual
That night, even the most die-hard Celtics fans showed sad expressions in the stands.

Because as long as the Warriors win the championship this year, it means that the Green Army will be the number one loser for the third consecutive year – they will successfully create their own runner-up dynasty.

“What’s wrong with being the runner-up?”

During the warm-up before the game, Qin Yue said to Duncan: “Being the runner-up for three consecutive years is a manifestation of dominance. You are still young. I believe the future will definitely be yours, my dear senior.”

Hearing this, Duncan smiled evilly and said, “You are right. I do have great potential.”

Qin Yue didn’t expect that even with all his yin and yang, he couldn’t break Duncan’s defense.

This made Qin Yue very frustrated.

Because Qin Yue dare not imagine
If he had won the runner-up for three consecutive years and was treated so ambivalently, would he still be able to remain calm like Duncan?

On the court, after warming up, the referee Bennett Salvatore, who was in charge of officiating the game, walked towards the center circle with the ball.

In Game 5, the Celtics continued with their starting lineup from the previous four games.

The Warriors used Nash, who had been a substitute for many consecutive games, to replace Curry in this game.

“Take it easy, Steve.”

Looking at Nash, who was shaking like a rookie playing his first professional game, Brown, who was about to jump the ball for the Warriors, smiled and said, “It’s just a championship, right? I think you’ll get used to it in the future.”

Nash, who is expected to win his first career championship this night, has mixed feelings at the moment.

From Phoenix to Dallas, and then to Phoenix and Oakland, in Nash’s view, the championship ring that is about to be won is undoubtedly the best reward from “God” for his wanderings along the way.

“God, this won’t be the only time I win the championship, right?” Nash looked up at Qin Yue, gradually relaxed, and took the initiative to joke with him.

“of course.”

At the start of the game, the unstoppable second-best center in history, Kwame Brown, easily won the ball for the Warriors.

Nash dribbled across half court, Qin Yue made the intermediate move, and Brown fired the first shot of the game for the Warriors.

When the small-handed boy who was once ridiculed by the world leaped into the sky, Brown, who had once failed to live up to everyone’s expectations under his fame, immediately showed a bright smile after the haze.

Bang-dang——!
“Remember this ball!”

After the dunk, Brown said to the Celtics with a haughty look on his face: “You almost blocked the great Kwame Brown!”

The Celtics players on the field were all annoyed by Brown’s smug behavior.

Especially noticing that Celtics coach Gentry, Mike Malone was once again pacing back and forth on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.

“How do they make it so disgusting?”

Gentry couldn’t help but think to himself, “They don’t have the temperament of a winner at all!”

What is the winning temperament?
On the court, when Qin Yue provided assisting defense and blocked Horford’s turnaround jumper out of bounds, Brown, who was even more excited than Qin Yue, immediately rushed towards Qin Yue: “I knew you could block that guy! He actually dared to challenge the restricted area guarded by us without any observation!”

Seeing this, Qin Yue smiled and said, “It mainly depends on you. You know, my job is just to assist you.”

As we all know, the temperament of a winner can only be defined by a winner.

Therefore, under the emotional value provided by Qin Yue, the number one winner
It is naturally impossible for Brown to live like a modest gentleman and shrink from showing off.

The Celtics took the ball from out of bounds.

With little time left on the offensive clock, Wallace looked at Pierce who chose to pass the ball to Carter and questioned him again: “Truth, you shouldn’t pass the ball to your teammates at this time.”

“Shut up!” Pierce said anxiously, “Don’t fucking question the way I play!”

When——!
On the wing, Carter missed the shot due to strong interference from Bell.

Then, Brown actively positioned himself and helped Qin Yue get the backcourt rebound.

Qin Yue strode to the front court with the ball, and while the Celtics’ defense was not yet stable, he turned around and passed the ball to Nash who was following up with a fast break.

Swish!
Pointing to the five-second timer on TNT, Barkley said, “Facing the Warriors’ fast-paced play, I think every opponent can only be described as desperate.”

On the sidelines, looking at the other Warriors players who were in obviously better shape tonight than in the previous four games, Gentry suddenly said in his heart that something was wrong.

Because Qin Yue, who was in great form, was unstoppable by the Celtics.

When all the Warriors were online, Qin Yue didn’t even need the Green Army to think about the problem that had plagued them for four games:
——Should they double-team Qin Yue?

The Celtics attacked, and Jet Warrior Pierce finally scored a goal in front of Wallace and hit a three-pointer to stabilize the team’s morale.

“See, this three-pointer is why I can get twice as much salary as you!” Pierce said to Wallace, pounding his chest.

Hearing this, Wallace said: You are right.

But just after he came back, Wallace, who was not good at shooting three-pointers, received instructions from the tower to take off under the guidance of Qin Yue.

Bang-dang——!
“My unit is unimpeded, my unit is unimpeded!” After landing the dunk, Wallace turned around and made a gesture of calling to celebrate, and smiled: “I have completed my unit’s air raid operation excellently!”

Pierce’s trash talk is destined to hardly hurt Wallace, an upright boy with his own spiritual realm.

For example, at this moment, you thought Wallace was celebrating his dunk for the Warriors.

In fact, Wallace was COSing the American Raptor fighter pilot in his mind. In this season of full cooperation with the opponent, Qin Yue had already discovered that Wallace’s thinking was much more imaginative than that of ordinary black players.

Qin Yue knew very well that Wallace often fantasized in his mind, including but not limited to performing special agent missions, a fierce war, or a scene of him turning into a superhero to save the world.

If you don’t understand, just ask, how can Pierce break the defense of such a spiritual young man with such a rich spiritual world?

Moreover, Pierce’s classic saying “No one dares to talk trash in front of me because I will just do it” has no deterrent effect in front of this Warriors team.

after all
How can Pierce, who is just talking, beat the Warriors team full of strong players?
Believe it or not, before Pierce could even make a move, Dunleavy, who was always sitting on the sidelines of the Warriors, would knock him down with a bench kick?

The Celtics had the ball. Durant dribbled across half court and passed it to Carter, who then lobbed it to Duncan who was already in position in the paint.

Immediately afterwards, Duncan hit the rebound with a side hook.

Seeing this, Qin Yue quickly passed the baseline ball to Nash after throwing a few trash words to the opponent, saying “it’s just luck”.

The moment Nash dribbled the ball through half court, Bell, who knew how the opponent would pass the ball without even communicating, ran quickly to the bottom corner.

On the court, Nash passed the ball almost everywhere he went.

Swish!
In front of the technical table, on this night when the Warriors had already achieved a small offensive climax without Qin Yue taking any shots, when they were forced to request a timeout, where was the look in Gentry’s eyes as it had in the past few games?
“The Warriors are building on their winning momentum this night!”

On TNT, Barkley said bluntly: “If the Celtics can’t play an offensive quality that matches theirs, then we can only congratulate the Warriors for winning the world championship again under the leadership of the Messiah.”

At the TD Garden, halfway through the first quarter, the Celtics had a total of 14 points.

14 points in half a quarter, to be honest, the Celtics’ offensive quality has reached their normal level.

But nothing.
Did the Warriors perform above their level tonight?

On the left side of the court, when Murphy, who replaced Brown, pulled the trigger, the extremely confident Murphy didn’t even look back at the three-pointer he made, but turned around and started celebrating.

Swish!
In basketball, confidence is contagious.

For example, in the next round, looking at Qin Yue’s expectant eyes, Curry, who originally wanted to pass the ball back to Qin Yue for organization more safely, immediately had a sank heart and completed the shot from two meters away from the three-point line.

On the sidelines, Nash, who had just been replaced by Curry, also raised his hands for Curry’s long three-pointer.

“Stephen, what are you doing? This is the Finals!”

As for TNT TV station, Barkley, who was questioning Curry one second, witnessed Curry’s three-pointer fall into the net the next second.

“This is the Golden State Warriors! Once they go crazy on the court, no team can stop them,” said Barkley’s partner Smith.

“You wanted me to shoot, didn’t you?” Curry asked curiously, turning his eyes to Qin Yue as he retreated. “I wanted to pass the ball back to you.”

Hearing this, Qin Yue patted Curry on the shoulder and said, “Yes, that’s what I thought!”

Qin Yue discovered that in the future, when he plays with Curry, he must take a quick-acting heart-saving pill before the game.

Because Curry doesn’t know
In the last round, the reason why Qin Yue gave him an expectant look was that Qin Yue was already in a position where he could directly ask for the ball and launch an attack?

On the court, the score was 41 to 28 after the first quarter.

The Warriors scored 41 points in a single quarter, and their offensive feast on the road almost completely broke the mentality of the home fans.

This was the quarter in which Qin Yue sweated the least in this round of the finals.

“I won’t take a break in this game.”

Qin Yue, who only scored 4 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block in the first quarter, said to Ma Long during the intermission: “Wait until we open up the score, I have plenty of time to rest.”

So, in the second quarter, Qin Yue continued to stay on the court.

This made Gentry, who wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with the score, feel the despair that was rapidly spreading throughout the stadium.

On the court, under the organization and dispatch of Qin Yue, Jack, Dunleavy Jr., Hill Sr. and Barnes all scored successively.

At this point, every player on the Warriors team, who had scored points, turned their attention to McRoberts, the only player on the Warriors roster who had not yet played in this game.

“You guys looking at me like this will put a lot of pressure on me.” In the second half of the second quarter, when preparing to come on as a substitute, McRoberts smiled bitterly: “I’m afraid I will be the only player who didn’t score in this game.”

Fortunately, McRoberts’ worries at the moment were unnecessary.

As soon as he came on the court, Qin Yue attracted a double-team and sent him a brilliant pass.

When there was no one within two meters of the basket, McRoberts, who could even drink a sip of water before completing the attack, did not disappoint the high hopes of the entire team.

Bang, whoosh!

On the Warriors bench, as McRoberts scored, every Warriors player hugged each other excitedly.

“we are the champion!”

On the sidelines, Brown chanted for McRoberts.

“MVP, MVP!”

On the side, Curry also joined in the fun.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors, whose players had scored, led the Celtics 74-48 on the road.

Although theoretically
Even until this moment, the Celtics still have hope of a comeback.

But when the battle resumed in the second half, every Celtics fan knew that they would be the runner-up for three consecutive years.

In the third quarter, after only eight minutes, Qin Yue lost interest in staying on the court to collect stats.

After asking Ma Long to replace him, Qin Yue, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, immediately poured a large bucket of iced drink on the opponent’s head.

“This is the reward you deserve, Mike.” Qin Yue said to Ma Long.

“Yes, this is the reward I deserve!”

On the sidelines, Ma Long, who was completely chilled by Qin Yue, simply took off his clothes: “Come on, you damn bastards, I know you have been waiting for this day for a long time!”

Seeing this, the Warriors players, who had already prepared a bucket of ice water, immediately rushed forward.

After the garbage time of the final quarter, looking at the final score of 131 to 91, Barkley also announced to the whole of North America with his loud voice: “Let us congratulate the Golden State Warriors! After two years, they have become world champions again!”
