Oracle Arena.

When the first quarter score between the Knicks and the Warriors froze at 17 to 45.

The suspense of this fifth game of the finals had largely dissipated.

Even during the intermission, Iguodala was still trying to be the one who ties the knot.

But the next second, when Iguodala turned his gaze to his teammates...

At that moment, no matter how many brave words Iguodala had, he could only swallow them back down his throat.

Knicks bench.

A dazed Harden was quieter than ever before.

Of course, to be fair to Harden...

Despite the appearances, Harden was indeed the first player in the game to concede to the Warriors.

But the term "total collapse of the Knicks" cannot solely be blamed on Harden.

For instance, at this moment, Howard chose to put on headphones to relax by listening to music.

As the team's defensive core, Howard, whose mentality had been completely shattered by Qin Yue, also had to bear some blame for the Knicks' collapse.

And then there was Durant, the franchise star of the Knicks.

On the court, at the stage when the Knicks most needed Durant to step up and stabilize the game...

What was Durant's response?

It was a desperate 0-for-5 shooting.

Maybe after the game, Durant could use his poor touch as an excuse.

But during the game, Durant's once utterly bewildered look could not deceive anyone.

Moreover, in the basketball world where the desire to wear the crown requires bearing its weight.

Durant cannot only be the head of the Knicks when enjoying cheers.

It's the same old story.

Think about how Qin Yue handled the third and fourth games of this series.

At that time, was the pressure Qin Yue faced on the road any less than what Durant experienced this evening?

In front of their TVs, for the New York fans who witnessed the Knicks' defeat in Oakland, this was clearly not just a game where Qin Yue solidified his personal historical status.

Also, it was a game that made them completely realize that even in ten years, KD could never become the next Messiah.

"The mindset gap between 'KD' and the Messiah might be even larger than their skill gap." TNT TV Station, where Barkley commented during the intermission.

Indeed, Durant at twenty-four is still very young.

But bear in mind, in the NBA, youth has never been a foolproof shield.

Because...

Slaying bulls, slaying horses, beheading phoenixes, I reign hot Miami.

—These were the achievements of twenty-two-year-old Qin Yue in his rookie season.

Was Qin Yue not young at that time?

Okay, if comparing Qin Yue to Durant is a bit of bullying.

Then, was "Magician" Johnson who claimed an NBA championship with his team in his rookie season not young then?

And Duncan, who in his second season was crowned Finals MVP.

Was Duncan not young at the time?

What?

You say whether Qin Yue, Johnson, or Duncan, it was their exceptional teammates who helped them win the championship?

Then are Durant's current teammates not good enough?

Fourth game of the finals.

When Durant transformed into the Death God without hesitation, wielding the scythe for the Knicks at the last moment, Qin Yue thought his young brother had grown up.

But facts proved that on the road to becoming a qualified leader, Durant still has a long way to go.

In short, during an avalanche, no single snowflake can be innocent.

In this game, every Knicks player needs to take responsibility for the team's collapse.

After the intermission, the game continued on the court.

Though most Knicks fans in front of their TVs had already chosen to turn off their sets, unable to bear the agony.

For the Warriors' supporters, the Knicks' collapse instead gave them more time to brew their emotions.

At the end of the half.

The scoreboard showed, 38 to 77.

In Oakland, knowing that the team's fourth consecutive championship was only a matter of time, the home crowd began to chant Qin Yue's name.

And this frenzy would probably reach its climax in about an hour.

Because an hour later, Qin Yue will officially complete his final ascent to the divine ladder and rightfully take his seat on the throne known as the GOAT.

Looking back.

Unable to contain his excitement, Qin Yue responded during an interview with CCTV during halftime: "In my view, after this game, one of my two dreams has been realized."

"Could you share with us what your other dream is?" the CCTV reporter asked.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue replied without hesitation, "To be honest, my other dream is to plant osha roots all over the world."

To plant all over the world...

Plant osha roots?

In the player tunnel, the CCTV reporter was left in the wind alone with confusion.

At this moment, perhaps only the "Osha Door" community can understand how great Qin Yue's dream truly is.

The brief halftime is over.

As the victory of the game was already determined, and as the teams successively withdrew their main players, the entire Oracle Arena transformed into a sea of joy.

On the sidelines, the Warriors' bench.

Just after being subbed out, the next second, Qin Yue was jointly ambushed by Artest and Davis.

As former Warriors' meritorious players.

Without treating themselves as outsiders, Artest and Davis poured a bucket of iced drinks over Qin Yue's head.
