Compared to Artest, Richardson's thoughts were not that complicated. He just planned to place the ring in the most prominent spot at home after winning it.
Then, he would ask everyone he met:
"What? You know I'm an NBA champion player?"
In the NBA, greatness is always reserved for the champions.
Before the second half of the game started, Jarrett Jack noticed that the entire Warriors team almost simultaneously turned their focus to that person..... Everyone always believed he would reward all teammates with a championship ring tonight as the absolute core.
"If we win the championship tonight, what do you most want to do?" Jack asked curiously, walking into the arena alongside Qin Yue.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue replied without hesitation, "I'll have a good meal and sleep well."
Jack pursued further, "And then?"
Qin Yue smiled and said, "Then I'll get up and train, preparing for the next championship."
At that moment, stopping in his tracks and watching Qin Yue's tall figure, Jack suddenly felt the differences between people.
However, before Jack's feelings could last more than three seconds, Brown lowered his head and said to him, "Don't believe what he just said. He already told me privately that if we can win the championship tonight, he'll have at least a week-long party upon returning to Oakland."
A week-long party?
After pausing for a moment, Brown added, "Of course, as his confidant, we must say to outsiders that he got up the next day and went into training."
American Airlines Arena.
After halftime, right at the start of the third quarter, led by Wade, the Heat showcased their determination to fight to the death.
The fact proved that even before the game, the entire Heat team knew they couldn't turn things around... But when it came to the game, they still couldn't accept it...
Unwilling to hand over the championship trophy to the Warriors just like that!
Why can you become the great champions after tonight, while we only become the unnoticed runner-up?
At the venue, the originally silent white wave began to surge again with the fighting spirit showcased by the Heat players on the court.
Since joining the NBA, Heat fans who have never touched the championship, also waited painfully for eighteen seasons for this trophy!
Why is a champion a champion?
In competitive sports, if the team you support or the athlete you like consistently wins titles, then congratulations, you are undoubtedly lucky.
But compared to those lucky ones, the vast majority of sports enthusiasts are destined to be unfortunate.
Because most of the time, your earnest expectations often return once disappointment after another, endlessly cycling... until the end of life, until the end of the world.
Even until Qin Yue came into this world, in his memory, the NBA still had ten teams never touched the championship.
Therefore, in front of champions who have endured countless hardships to reach the end, how dare the runner-up boast their greatness, how dare they falsely claim to be glorious as well?
The Warriors this year made it to the finals unexpectedly, but it doesn't mean they aren't a team that faced hardships.
On the regular season closing match, when the 98-year-old "Sweetheart" Svity tightly held Qin Yue's hands, at that moment, Qin Yue already felt how much this team longed for that O'Brien Trophy.
Maybe the Warriors were not fully prepared to lift that championship trophy, but when that damned O'Brien Trophy was right here tonight at American Airlines Arena...
The Heat players' reluctance, was it not also the Warriors players' hottest desire within?
On the court, Wade had just scored four consecutive points for the Heat, but Qin Yue shortly after completed a two-plus-one by standing up to O'Neal's "Iron Palm" inside.
O'Neal's swipe was ultimately too light; he underestimated Qin Yue's desire for the championship, and Qin Yue's profound love for basketball.
Feeling the severe pain from his left shoulder, Qin Yue then completely relied on instinct to throw the basketball towards the hoop.
Bang, bang, bang, swish —!
Following the shot scored, staring directly into O'Neal's eyes, the fiery gaze of Qin Yue even made the opponent take a step back involuntarily.
What an intimidating pair of eyes — even the battle-hardened O'Neal felt an inexplicable fear towards it.
At the free-throw line, Qin Yue made the extra free throw.
Throughout the third quarter, whenever Wade attempted to narrow the lead for the Heat, Qin Yue would immediately respond in the next possession to the entire American Airlines Arena.
Richardson and Artest also successively found their touch in the second half.
And this shifted the balance of victory completely towards the Warriors in this fourth game.
American Airlines Arena.
The Warriors' final possession in this quarter.
Utilizing the space created by Richardson and Artest's resurgence, Qin Yue at the forty-five-degree angle on the right side pretended to break with a Crossover and suddenly pulled the ball back.
At that moment, Walker, who was already too late to adjust his body's center of gravity to contest Qin Yue, could only silently pray in his heart.
However, God did not answer Walker.
Swish —!
On TNT TV Station, as Qin Yue scored his 40th personal point of this game, Barkley shouted, "God, tonight is wearing a Golden State Warriors number 30 jersey in the game!"
At the end of three quarters, the scoreboards showed 81 to 70.
The Heat, who desperately chased for an entire quarter...
Instead, let the Warriors further expand their lead in the last three minutes of the third quarter.
