On this play, until the last five seconds, Qin Yue slowly dribbled to initiate the offense.

Despite Qin Yue being positioned too far out, causing Iguodala and Durant to abandon the double team on him.

But in the end, this shot...

Durant and Iguodala both bet wrong again.

Because from exactly two meters away from the three-point line, Qin Yue suddenly stopped abruptly, and in the midst of the desperate sighs from spectators, he killed the game completely with an exceptionally long three-pointer.

"Good night, New York!"

And the next second, both Qin Yue and Curry performed the "good night" celebration gesture on the court, not forgetting to provide all the reporters with a century-defining painting that would surely be widely spread.

At the end, Harden fixed the Knicks' total score at 123 with a resolute two points.

As Curry made two free throws, Durant missed a trailing three...

The scoreboard showed 130 to 123.

In the face of a disadvantageous away free throw ratio of 24 to 49, the Warriors conquered Madison Square Garden again and took a 3-1 lead, grabbing the match point in this finals series.

Now, with just one more win, the Warriors will become the first team in NBA history to claim four consecutive titles since comprehensive statistics have been recorded.

Post-game interview.

With an outstanding performance scoring 38 points in a single game, Curry together with Qin Yue combined for 99 points and said, "This wasn't an easy game, but we ultimately made it through."

And Qin Yue?

"You know, I'm a player who doesn't usually like to pop the champagne early."

During the interview, Qin Yue smiled and said, "But I don't want to lie to you guys, yes, after this game, I've already been thinking about how to deliver my victory speech for the next game."

In games three and four, with the officiating extremely favorable to them, the Knicks couldn't seize the opportunity, in Qin Yue's eyes, have entirely lost any chance of winning against the Warriors in this finals series.

After all, in this era where Stern hasn't retired yet, the league can't forcefully protect the Knicks for three games.

Indeed, even if suppressing the Warriors has become the league's current main task.

But different from Xiao Hua.

In Stern's era, as long as you withstand the league's challenges, the championship you deserve, Stern will still let you have it.

And now, with this series returning to Oakland for the fifth game.

Having scored over "60+" in consecutive finals games, Qin Yue certainly has to prepare to be crowned again when the team returns to its home court.

After all, even if Qin Yue doesn't want to show off.

His capability also doesn't allow him not to show off.

"How will you write your victory speech arrogantly?"

In the visitors' locker room, Kwame Brown asked curiously.

"I've already thought of the general draft, but it still requires time to polish."

"If possible, could you add an extra sentence at the start of your speech?"

"What do you want me to add?"

"I hope you can say at the start of your speech, 'There are no shortcuts to the Mountain Peak, any player attempting shortcuts is destined to fall into the abyss.'

After a pause, Brown added, "You know, I don't want future players to just think about leveraging marketing to earn fame and gain, because basketball ultimately is a sport that speaks through strength."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue said to Brown, "You surprise me, my friend."

Meeting Qin Yue's gaze, Brown smiled and said, "Surprised? No, I just don't want future players to try to claim your greatness through marketing, after all... your greatness not only represents you personally, but also represents this era and all Warriors players including myself." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
