However, what O'Neal didn't know was...
Qin Yue has a significant characteristic.
That is, once he bears a grudge, he'll never wait ten years to take his revenge.
What does it mean for me to not deserve Jovan Buha's evaluation?
In Qin Yue's eyes, the only flaw in Buha's article is that he wasn't praised enough!
Those stats were earned through countless nights of desperate battles.
In order to lead the Warriors to turn the tide, he had been operating at full power since his career debut!
As a result, in the latter part of the article, because Buha was busy disparaging other stars, he didn't highlight this.
This made Qin Yue very disappointed.
It was only considering that English isn't as beautiful as Chinese that Qin Yue barely forgave Buha in the end.
But what Qin Yue didn't expect was...
Now even an outdated star, who clings tightly to Wade's legacy and only dares to discuss how gorgeous his past Excel was, dares to say he doesn't deserve this evaluation.
Originally, Qin Yue wasn't that angry about O'Neal's comment.
But the more he thought about it later, the more upset he became, and he quietly turned his gaze to the calendar:
—February 8th.
On that day, the Warriors will host the Miami Heat.
Also, it's the second match between the two teams this season.
To prepare for this slaughter that would officially add the "old fish" to his trophy room, Qin Yue eagerly awaited that day every night as February approached!
"The Heat are currently second in the East, are you sure we can definitely beat them at home?" Brown said, wanting to advise Qin Yue to calm down upon learning of his "Shaq-hunting plan".
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue said, "So what if they're second in the East? They've only won one more game than us."
"The Miami Heat are full of experts, besides Shaquille O'Neal and 'D-Wade', they have players like Antoine Walker, James Posey, and 'White Chocolate'..."
In response, Qin Yue said confused, "Don't we have Ron, Jason, and you?"
Seeing Qin Yue getting riled up, Brown said, "But they're a team aiming for the championship, and we..."
Surprised by Brown's implication, Qin Yue said, "Aren't we a team aiming for the championship?"
This time, it was Brown's turn to be shocked and said, "Our goal this season is the championship?"
Qin Yue, taking a deep breath, said, "I'm very disappointed in you today, Kwame."
Brown: "..."
After a pause, Qin Yue continued, "I originally thought you, like me, are striving every day for the goal of the championship, but I didn't expect, I was thinking too much."
Brown: "..."
Then Qin Yue said, "Do you really not know that Barang, Jason, Troy, and Mike, they are looking forward to something every day?"
In the next second, Brown stopped being silent and said, "Do you mean... all of you think our goal this season is the championship?"
Qin Yue nodded and patted Brown's shoulder, saying, "In the NBA, never underestimate the heart of a champion."
Seeing this, Brown immediately showed respect and said, "Alright, in that case, the Heat are indeed the opponent we must beat."
Qin Yue knew very well, more clearly than anyone else, that although this Warriors team is far from being at the level to compete for the championship, so what?
Isn't it allowed to aim for the championship in the NBA?
And precisely because of this, after the New Year, Qin Yue accepted the advice from "Vice General Manager" and "Vice Head Coach" Mike Dunleavy.
"I know this sounds exaggerated, but if we want to make a mark in the playoffs this year, we absolutely can't exhaust your stamina like this," said Little Dunleavy to Qin Yue when he returned from Charlotte.
Beside him, Artest also agreed, saying, "You are our only trump card, our only asset against those traditional Western powerhouses, so I personally agree with Mike's suggestion."
To prepare for the playoffs, the Warriors must strictly control Qin Yue's playing time and reduce his regular season wear and tear.
This may cause Qin Yue to miss out on more impressive stats.
But compared to the stats achieved through overclocking...
Qin Yue knew clearly that the ambition of this Golden State Gang had been completely awakened by him...
How could he not want to go with this group of teammates to the playoffs stage to see how much they can shake up the West this year?
Of course, on certain nights.
Facing those opponents who don't recognize him.
Both Little Dunleavy and Artest thought that Qin Yue has every reason to come out at full power to show them:
Whether the Messiah of the Warriors is indeed worthy of those evaluations!
On February 8th, the Miami Heat officially arrived in Oakland.
And that night...
Qin Yue, who had been waiting eagerly, showed a fierce expression!
