Chapter 785 279: Going with the Flow, the Final Cruel Task!_3
How was James taught a lesson by Qin Yue back in the day?Of course, it was when Qin Yue led his team to sweep him 4-0.
It's just a pity that the James who got swept was the James of the past.
As for the present James?
Now reduced to just another passerby, James on the sidelines seems to wish to be swept by Qin Yue.
But the problem is...
The Timberwolves, who are already preparing for the next season, when will they make it to the playoffs?
At this moment, Durant is the only good guy, occasionally mentioning James in front of the media, otherwise...
Who would still remember this fallen son?
Meanwhile in New York, at the NBA headquarters.
At the same time Qin Yue was delivering a quadruple-double at Oracle Arena, the soon-to-retire David Stern also gave up his struggle.
As a commissioner who has led the league for many years and elevated the NBA to new heights, Stern knows better than anyone that the so-called "black curtain" exists merely to enhance the suspense of this grand NBA reality show.
But now, in the face of Qin Yue, who is sweeping through the entire league with unstoppable force, the league, even if it wanted some underhanded dealings, would find it difficult to find a starting point.
Especially when Qin Yue completed such a mythical level of a quadruple-double right in front of his only challenger, Durant...
In Stern's view, the league, which must go with the flow, has no excuse not to hand the MVP trophy to Qin Yue.
So, to his two assistants, Mark and Xiao Hua, Stern said: "If he continues to perform as he has since the new year, we'll have no choice but to make him the first player in NBA history to be named regular season MVP for four consecutive years."
Seeing this, Mark and Xiao Hua both looked worried and said: "But David, what about next year?"
Next year?
Next year is your problem, what does it have to do with me, David Stern?
In fact, if Stern were ten years younger, he would have found a way, even if it meant building Durant up alongside the New York media.
After all, in competitive sports, it's taboo for a player to monopolize a personal honor for too long.
Because for competitive sports, suspense is the foundation that maintains the interest in an event.
Now, the NBA's explosive interest is all due to the anticipation that Qin Yue can lead the Warriors to achieve a four-peat that no one has ever done since the complete statistical records began.
But what after the four-peat?
As the Warriors make the NBA completely lose its suspense, in Stern's view, the drop in the league's interest is only a matter of time.
Nevertheless, these are no longer issues that Stern needs to ponder.
Because the "flood may come after I'm gone" mentality of Stern has already elevated the NBA to new heights through the Jordan era and the Great Qin era.
Rumor has it that the NBA will secure a sky-high renewal deal after the current TV broadcasting contract expires.
This season, the market value of each team in the league is soaring.
Among them, especially the Warriors, who are about to relocate to the Great Qin Center, are the most eye-catching.
In Qin Yue's previous life, the Warriors' market value in the 24/25 season will reach an astonishing $9.1 billion, ranking first in the league.
But now, without even needing to wait another ten years, the Warriors' market value has already surpassed the Knicks, who had long held the top spot.
Therefore, leaving this prosperous era to Xiao Hua and Mark, Stern, even if entrusting some potential league pitfalls to his two assistants, has nothing to be ashamed of regarding the NBA.
But before officially retiring, Stern was still very curious...
What level of performance can Qin Yue achieve in games if the league no longer enforces "Qin Yue's Law"?
So, driven by that strong curiosity, Stern decided, before his retirement, to give the world something fierce to remember.
In late February of that year,
every referee scheduled to officiate Warriors' games received hints from the league's top brass.
In the remaining games of this season's regular season, the league will officially restore the star calls that had been stripped from Qin Yue for nearly four years.
So the question now is.
What kind of performance can a Qin Yue with star calls instead of reverse star calls deliver in games?
...
