In the final quarter, neither Qin Yue nor Wade planned to rest.
With the cheers of the crowd, Wade's first two drives to the basket both bounced off the rim.
This was a sign that Wade's stamina had reached its limit.
However, on the return, Qin Yue's touch also cooled as his stamina waned.
On the court, his two forceful attempts were mercilessly "blocked" by the hoop.
Even though the slower pace of the game did indeed consume less of Qin Yue's stamina than usual, he too inevitably reached his stamina limit having not rested for a single minute tonight.
This was an excruciating period.
It made the on-site fans feel extremely oppressed while also testing the hearts of Warriors fans watching on TV.
Qin Yue was the first to break the deadlock for the Warriors.
With 7 minutes and 37 seconds left in the final quarter, he used the Flex tactic to run to the left free-throw line to catch the ball and sank a clean jump shot, scoring his 42nd point of the game.
