"No, you'll never get that ring. Listen, you're just a filthy bitch who can't wait to offer your virginity to Shaq for a championship ring!"

Upon hearing this...

Even though Qin Yue's words were harsh, Gary Payton, knowing every word was true, instantly broke down.

The next moment, a furious Payton unleashed a barrage of unprintable swear words at Qin Yue.

But what does it matter?

Swear words can't break you like the truth can.

On the court, in the next play, Qin Yue completed a three-point play for the Warriors, not even sparing Payton a glance.

To deal with someone like Gary Payton, all you need to do is strip him of what he values, and he'll never lift his head like a bug.

After three quarters, the scoreboard showed 74 to 87.

The Warriors' shooters began to heat up in the second half, while the Heat's shooters failed to provide the support Wade needed.

As Rick Barry said before the game, luck is also a part of skill.

But what's more important is, every time they look to that star player who can always score in crucial moments, all the Warriors players shoot with more confidence next time.

Because they never worry that the Warriors' offensive wave will stop when they're off their game.

Before the final quarter began, Riley noticed the Heat players' morale had significantly dropped.

Many Heat players who used to stand up in crucial plays felt powerless this night.

This is not related to the Heat's numbers.

Instead, it's the Warriors, whose style happens to restrain the Heat, preventing them from playing to their actual numbers.

O'Neal, facing the Warriors, could only play the role of a harmless Shaq.

To limit Qin Yue's aggressive solutions on the court, both Walker and Haslem had to focus on the defensive end.

The Warriors never truly limited Wade this night, it's true.

But once the energy runs out, Wade too gets trapped in the Warriors' meticulously crafted swamp by their top draft picks.

Williams, Payton, Posey, and even Kapono, who Riley took a gamble on for 3 minutes and then took off, are truly great championship pieces.

But the Warriors' championship pieces, with Qin Yue's boost, obviously performed better.

In the fourth quarter, soon after O'Neal picked up another point at the free-throw line, "God Deng" Little Deng Liwei ignited the entire arena.

Receiving a breakthrough pass from Qin Yue, he resolutely made a three-point shot under Posey's strong interference, and as the whistle blew, he went for an extra free throw!

That's a three-point play plus one!

Or you could call it a "four-point play"!

On the Heat's bench, Riley despairingly asked, "How can we match the Warriors' offensive firepower?"

Spoelstra bitterly smiled and said, "We have to make those damn open threes."

In the next second, Riley asked knowingly, "But why... don't they have to make those damn open threes?"

Spoelstra let out a long sigh and said, "Coach, Jerry West was right, the NBA has officially welcomed a new Michael Jordan... and this young Michael Jordan will continue to grow."

Is Qin Yue terrifying because of his aggressive solutions on the court?

No.

At least not in Spoelstra's eyes.

It's that against him, to prevent him from using a mismatch advantage to shatter your defense, you can only passively choose defensive strategies like zones.

But unfortunately...

He's also currently the player most skilled at breaking down zones in the league.

In Spoelstra's view, Qin Yue is like a halo monster in some RPG games, always applying different types of boosts to his teammates.

These boosts, in this year's playoffs, have infinitely magnified the Warriors' strengths and turned players once seen as "nobodies" into X-factors every opponent dreads.

For example, Mike Dunleavy hitting the free throw to complete the four-point play.

In the previous Warriors, he was infamously known as the "bust third pick" only playing in the NBA because of old Deng Liwei.

But now...

He's the super sixth man most loved by Warriors fans.

At Oracle Arena, the golden wave rolled from start to finish.

After thirty-one years away from the Finals, the Golden State Warriors took the first game, leading the Miami Heat 1-0 in the Finals.

The scoreboard showed 98 to 112.

Amid the seemingly never-ending cheers, all the Warriors fans couldn't wait to lift that damn championship trophy.

In the game, Shaquille O'Neal, personally "buried" by Qin Yue, officially relinquished his title as NBA's best center with his poor performance of 0 for 6 from the field and 3 for 10 from the free-throw line.

Overall, with only 3 points and 6 rebounds, O'Neal, with a lonely look, headed back to the locker room amid the ridicules of nearby fans.

If time could rewind, O'Neal swore he would never have said those overrated words about Qin Yue.

And what about Flash Wade?

Throughout the game, he went 11 for 22 from the field, including 1 for 2 from beyond the arc, and 10 for 14 from the free-throw line, delivering a perfect performance with 33 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals, making him Qin Yue's prized conquest of the evening.

The live scoreboard immediately after the game displayed Qin Yue's personal stats:

——38 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals.

TNT TV Station, Charles Barkley said after the game, "I'm just curious now... can the Messiah break Magic Johnson's Finals rookie record of 42 points in a single game."

Beside him, Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Charles, in your eyes, are the Warriors already this year's champions?"

Hearing this, knowing Smith was setting a trap, Barkley quickly said, "No, Kenny, you know I've always been a supporter of the Miami Heat and 'D-Wade'."

Pausing for a moment, Barkley added, "I've liked them for at least twenty years."
