Second quarter, on this night of star battles...
Qin Yue shot 4 for 7, made all 4 free throws, accumulating 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal in a single quarter.
In the game, after holding back for six full games, Qin Yue clearly felt the fatigue in his body...
But the excitement generated from his resentment...
Made him feel as if he had endless energy.
At halftime, Artest vividly renamed Qin Yue "madman" for the night.
"He really is a 'madman,' leading our entire team in madness."
After the half, looking at the scoreboard reading 51 to 59, Ma Long remarked with emotion.
Generally speaking, by this stage of a series, players' psychological endurance and execution in crucial moments become key factors for one side's victory.
Ma Long, who had been directing from the sidelines, knew very well that to reduce turnovers, the Warriors had not even executed their usual strategy several times tonight.
