Chapter 61: The Difficult Green Shirts

"Damn it!" Zhang Kong raised his arm angrily, and Paul Pearce, who had fallen to the ground for half a day and had not gotten up, immediately jumped up from the ground as if he had activated the resurrection attribute of the 'Immortal Bird' at the moment when the referee's whistle sounded.

James walked over and protested to the referee weakly, to be honest, he was almost out of strength to speak loudly now, and a child could easily push down James, who was usually immobile.

But the protest was ineffective, and the referee did not want to change the decision, but urged Pierce to hurry up and take the free throw. Faced with this situation, James could only reluctantly choose to accept it, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart that James missed the free throw, so that this damn game would end early.

Pierce's free throw rolled three and a half laps on the blue circle in front of the crowd, and it slowly landed into the basket just as some fans with bad hearts were on the verge of heart attack.

The score was 158:158, with only 0.4 seconds left, and the two teams used up the last timeout early, which was simply not enough time to complete the attack, and the sixth overtime was coming.

The 07-08 season, before Christmas, the Cavaliers' final game, was held between the Quick-Loan Arena and the Celtics, who came from afar.

This game is called a warm-up for the Christmas war by many media, and even said that it is not a Christmas war of the Christmas war. Because although this game is scheduled to be held on December 24, the day before Christmas, compared to the official Christmas battle, the Suns vs Lakers, the bombardment team vs Black Mamba scoring battle. and Thunder VS Trailblazers, the battle between the champion show and the top eye show is going to be more attractive.

Because this game is so motivating.

During the break before overtime, the players of both teams rushed back to the bench and lay down to let the trainer massage their muscles for them. With five overtimes, plus a full 73 minutes of regular play, even the toughest Ironmen were already on the verge of collapse, and in order to give the main team a little more rest, the water cooler guards of both teams had to be sent on, among them, Shannon Brown of the Cavaliers played 34 minutes, ranking first on the bench, because at the end of the fourth quarter, Gibson sprained his ankle and had to go off the court to receive treatment.

And the Celtics are not having a good time, and their point guard Rajon Rondo has fallen victim to this brutal rivalry. He was elbowed in the eye socket by James during a breakthrough, and his face was immediately covered in blood, and he was sent to the hospital for stitches, and he has not returned since. According to the news from Cleveland Hospital, it seems that it is accompanied by a less serious concussion, and he will not be able to play for the past few days anyway.

Taking advantage of this interval, several commentators on the comment table, who were already a little dry-mouthed, quickly exchanged their opinions.

"I guess the next overtime will definitely be decided." The obese Sir Charles wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief, and today's game was so intense that his weathered old guy couldn't help but lose control of his emotions several times, as if returning to the nineties: "The players on both sides, whether it is the Celtics or the Cleveland Cavaliers, have actually reached a critical point in their physical strength, and they are not even enough to support them to completely collapse after a full overtime." Oh my god, Kenny, I feel like I'm going to break down, watching a game like this is literally torturing my heart, every goal, every rebound has the potential to completely change the direction of the game, it's not an even game, it's a close fight! ”

"You're right, Charles, but don't get too excited, I don't want to miss out on the great shots by taking you to the hospital, no, any shots." Kenny Smith snapped, "Then I'll regret killing myself." ”

"Don't worry Kenny, even if my heart stops, I won't miss any of the next bit of the picture, you don't have to worry about me." Charles waved his hand and asked the special guest next to him, "Hi Russell, we didn't expect this game to be like this before the game started." ”

"Emotionally, I'm rooting for Celtic to win." Bill Russell, who was a special guest, did not hide his partiality, and continued: "But intellectually, I know very well that both teams deserve to win this game. They are two of the best teams in the entire East and they both deserved this victory. To be honest, I'd rather see a contest like this at the Grand Final! Whoever wins, I will bless the other side, and I dare say that this year's Eastern Conference championship will definitely be between these two teams, not only because of their strength, but more importantly, because of their resilience, they have the resilience to overcome all the obstacles along the way, no matter how many thorns lie ahead! ”

"Oh, I gotta say your explanation is boring." Barkley shook his head, "Can't you give me some?" Tell me, who is the best player on the field? James, Pierce? ”

"Every single one of them is excellent, and I have no way to judge how high they are." Russell clearly doesn't want to offend anyone here.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of exclamation and confusion from the Cavaliers' bench. There, James lay on the floor, clutching his calf in pain.

He had cramps......

"Damn it." Zhang Kong hurriedly got up, the game can persist to such an extent, James's play is extremely important, today he has broken his career record for the highest single game, the whole game plus 5 overtime scored a total of 68 points, although the shooting rate is a full five percentage points lower than the usual shooting rate of more than 50%, but considering that this is under the defense of Pierce, his play today is already terrifying.

He is also the top scorer on the Cavaliers right now.

Zhang Kong was second only to him, scoring 33 points, but at the same time, Zhang Kong also grabbed 39 rebounds, including 20 rebounds in the frontcourt, successfully breaking the record for the highest rebounding in the active game and the record for the highest offensive rebound in the active game, and the barrel had to say goodbye to the record he had held for ten years. Zhang is only one short of Karl Malone's all-time record for most offensive rebounds in a single game.

At the same time, Zhang Kong, who has 11 assists and 7 blocks, has achieved the record of the most terrifying triple-double in the active team and the most terrifying quadruple-double in the active team that may come at any time. Consider that this statistic is accompanied by as many as 8 mistakes. He's infinitely close to 'five pairs'.

But the Celtics' performance was also not bad, Pierce scored a Celtics-high 51 points, Garnett grabbed the Celtics' highest 24 rebounds, and Ray Allen has hit 11 three-pointers in a single game so far, which is only one step away from Kobe's record of hitting 12 three-pointers in a single game.

The excellent performance of the Big Three kept the match deadlocked.

In this kind of game situation, LeBron James, who is the core of the team, cannot and cannot get any rest, he has played more than 55 minutes today, 10 minutes more than Zhang Kong's playing time, and there is no rest on the court.

The physical strength has long been at its limit......
