The Warriors returned to Oracle Arena with a clean and decisive victory in their third game of the Western Conference Finals against the Suns.

This might be the most frustrating night of Nash's career.

On the court, he shot 12-for-21, hitting 3-of-5 from beyond the arc and making all 6 free throws, scoring a total of 33 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds.

With such performance, he absolutely deserves the name of regular season MVP.

During the game, under Davis's repeated impact, Nash repeatedly clenched his teeth and fought back hard.

Facing the boos coming from all directions, amid the Warriors players who always surround him to launch offensive plays, even emptying the last drop of fuel from his tank, Nash was trying to close the score gap for the Suns.

But until the clock wound down in the final quarter, the Warriors still led the Suns by 14 points.

These 14 points were the points of desperation for Nash.

Furthermore, these were the 14 points that drove Suns fans watching on television to collective collapse.

At the end, 103 to 117.

The Golden State Warriors, witnessed by the on-site golden wave, rewrote the series score of this Western Conference Finals to 2 to 1.

And after the game, Warriors fans had no intention of forgiving Steve Nash in the least.

Was Nash's performance of 33 points, 7 assists, and 2 rebounds really outstanding? Then Qin Yue, who scored 37 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals for us in this third game, is he stronger than Nash? Is he more worthy of this year's regular season MVP?

Nash is a good person and has always had a superb reputation in the league, but does our Messiah just not count as a good person, or as an impressive fellow?

To calm the Warriors fans' anger, even Qin Yue had to speak for Nash: "I have always recognized Steve's performance on the court, except for his 'shoe licking' before free throws, I always think he is the best point guard in the league today."

Since Nash never offended Qin Yue, Qin Yue, who always bore grudges, didn't intend to hit him when he's down.

Besides, merely belittling the opponent...

That would only make the victory led by himself for the Warriors seem lacking in value.

But...

The more magnanimous Qin Yue was at this moment, the more Warriors fans and his supporters hated Nash and Stern.

Online, more and more conspiracy theories appeared, in the eyes of these conspiracists, the league was completely targeting Qin Yue because they didn't want to see the NBA banner post-Jordan era carried by an Asian player.

To this, NBA Commissioner David Stern immediately held a press conference the same day to refute: "As a fair, open, and just league, the NBA can never discriminate against any player due to skin color."

However, as for Stern's rebuttal...

Conspiracy theorists deemed it utterly unconvincing.

After all, this was a league where O'Neal used discriminatory words to humiliate Yao Ming, and just with an apology afterward, it could be easily brushed over.

Obviously, with the Warriors' achievements this year exceeding everyone's expectations, the previous "trophy stealing incident" has climbed to a climax stage.

NBA Commissioner's Office.

Only to see Stern with a dejected face saying: "The conspiracy theories outside are getting increasingly absurd, what on earth should we do to completely quell this storm?"

Upon hearing this, the vice president Mark said: "David, I don't think this is a bad thing... weren't Michael's supporters back then also multiple times questioning the league's award selection results?"

Stern sighed and said: "It's not the same... back then Michael's supporters mostly questioned the fairness of the league's award selections, but now, the outside conspiracy theories have already dragged in the principle issue of racial discrimination."

Seeing this, Mark said: "David, the discrimination against Asians in the entire United States has been around for a long time, this is not a problem that you and I can solve. Now, our urgent task is to find a way to divert the public's attention."

"How do we divert it?"

"We need the help of allies."

A day later, before the start of the fourth game of the Western Conference Finals, Nike urgently released the appearance of the second generation of Qin Yue's "Overlord series" sneakers and the hastily produced advertisement video.

Compared with the first generation, the second generation "Overlord" sneakers not only look cooler, but their main color tone has also turned to an implied gold.

Of course, these are not the focus.

The focus is in this advertisement video...

What Qin Yue said at the end: "I don't need anyone to crown me because I will take that crown myself."

For Warriors fans who haven't tasted the championship flavor for thirty-one years...

These domineering advertising lines from Qin Yue have already been regarded by them as a declaration that Qin Yue will surely lead the Warriors to capture this year's NBA championship!

And then...

The anger of Bay Area fans toward Nash was instantly transformed into their worship of Qin Yue.

Though after leading 2-1 in the Western Conference Finals, many Warriors fans did indeed begin to envision the Finals and that ultimate championship, but after Qin Yue spoke their beautiful imagination of the future out loud.....

At this moment, who in the entire Bay Area still cares about Steve Nash?

Our Messiah does not need that foolish and powerless NBA to crown him!

Because he will surely lead us, carrying the golden wave straight to the peak, seizing that championship trophy which has been missing for thirty-one long years!

Yes, he will crown himself with that trophy of the highest stature on the stage of the Finals!

Oracle Arena.

When the Suns players entered the court during the warm-up phase of the fourth game, a scene almost eternally unforgettable unfolded before their eyes.
