Green Army

"40 points in three quarters, 7 three-pointers – Carlos, this rookie center, is truly formidable!" Jon Barry praises endlessly. Mark Jackson also smiles and says, "Exactly, a center displaying such precise three-point shooting on the perimeter, how can opponents defend against that?! And... when they decide to double-team, Carlos can still drive and pass. His scoring methods are too diverse, essentially limitless. 40 points in three quarters. Carlos single-handedly dismantles the Trail Blazers' defense."

That's right...

After three quarters, the Suns are already leading by more than 22 points against the sixth-seeded Trail Blazers in the tough Western Conference.

In the final quarter...

First, there's a rotation of substitutes. Originally, it was thought that the starting lineup wouldn't need to play. However, when the substitutes enter, "Yellow Mamba" Roy, whose performance had dropped significantly, suddenly erupts tonight.

Driving and shooting consecutively...

He scores 7 points individually, steals from the inexperienced George once, and within 4 minutes and 13 seconds, initiates a 13-4 offensive surge, narrowing the gap to just 13 points.

"Beep beep!"

Gentry calls for a timeout.

After some consideration, and to be on the safe side, the starting lineup is sent back in. Immediately after, in the next three minutes, Curry, Nash, and Carter.

"Swoosh!"

One three-pointer each from them, and Carlos calmly records 3 assists. A 13-3 counter-attack restores the lead to 23 points, sealing the fate of the game.

The Trail Blazers give up the struggle.

In the end...

The Suns triumph with a 15-point advantage.

In the commentary box...

Jon Barry looks at the stats and exclaims, "Carlos, tonight with 40 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks, hitting 7 three-pointers. He is undoubtedly the MVP of tonight. Furthermore, Curry has 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists, hitting 3 three-pointers. Nash contributes 8 points and 8 assists, while Carter adds 8 points, including 2 three-pointers. The Suns secure a 10-game winning streak. Winning this matchup also allows the Suns to surpass the Trail Blazers in the standings, jumping to sixth in the West, with just one game behind the fifth-placed Nuggets."

"Wow!"

Mark Jackson shouts, "Before Carlos, the Suns were 2-8, at the bottom of the West. After Carlos, a 10-game winning streak, directly jumping to sixth in the West. Closing in on the strong teams like the Spurs, Mavericks, Lakers, and Thunder! In addition, after the Heat's winning streak was ended by the Bulls, the Suns now have a 10-game winning streak, leading the entire league. The current Suns are truly powerful!"

"Yeah..."

Jon Barry nods repeatedly, smiling, "Really looking forward to where the Suns can go this year. Looking forward to the stunning performances from Carlos, the center from Mexico!"

While the commentators discuss, on the court, the renowned reporter "Woj" once again finds Carlos and asks, "Carlos, tonight you hit 7 three-pointers. You've let the entire league know about your three-point ability, showing that even as a center, you can shoot three-pointers on the perimeter with high accuracy. However... there were some people before who said you were just lucky to make those three-pointers. What do you have to say about that?"

"Well..."

Carlos thinks for a moment, then smiles faintly, "Indeed, it was just luck, fortunate enough to make that three-pointer."

Indeed, it was good luck. Carlos obtained "Curry's three-point shot at its peak," enabling him to possess such powerful three-point shooting ability. However, this luck is different from what everyone might think.

With these words spoken, fans can't help but feel that Carlos is being humble. However, this humility is making more and more fans appreciate this center from Mexico, with his incredibly accurate three-point shooting.

The next day...

The topic of Carlos once again fills newspapers and trending searches. "Carlos" seems to be gradually becoming synonymous with the hot topic, but recently, this popular term has an additional suffix.

That is "three-pointer"!

Scoring 7 three-pointers in a single game, achieved by many players such as Curry, Ray Allen, Durant, Kobe, and others, might not seem that extraordinary. However...

If on top of these 7 three-pointers, you add the identity of a "center," it instantly becomes a rarity, with Carlos being the sole example. A player over 215 centimeters tall, hitting 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, and scoring 40 points – there's only Carlos who achieved this feat, not only doing so but also creating a historical record.

Last night...

People hadn't realized it until some keen-eyed fans pointed it out, causing a sensation and sparking discussions.

This discussion continued into the evening, extending to 10 PM, and persisted into the battle between the Celtics and the Heat, a clash between the Celtics' "Big Four" and the Heat's "Big Three."

The formation of the "Big Three" in the Heat this year has shocked the entire league, resembling the arch-villains in comics – evil but invincible, seemingly unbeatable by any team.

Similarly...

In the 07-08 season, Pierce, Garnett, and Ray Allen formed the Celtics' "Big Three." They won the championship in their first year, also resembling a formidable antagonistic force – evil and invincible. However...

In the following two years, they fell short of winning the championship. Despite the growth of Rondo and transforming from the "Big Three" to the "Big Four," everyone knows that their current strength is not as formidable as it was three years ago.

Increasing age, rising injuries, have led to a rapid decline in their abilities.

This year...

Perhaps it's their last hope.

The goal of their formation is the championship, and with such a powerful antagonist, one championship in three years is undoubtedly insufficient, especially given the limited time left.

They must make the final push, and this year is their last chance.

So...

That's why, when the Celtics defeated the Spurs and Pierce, feeling recently overlooked, spoke out:

"Guys, we must win against the Heat tonight and let the league know... we Celtics are still a championship team."

"Oh!"

With Pierce's inspiring and player-rousing words, the game begins...

"Boom!"

The atmosphere in the arena continues to heat up.

The first three quarters of the game remained closely contested, and even before the final two minutes of the last quarter, the score was still neck and neck. However, in the end, with a breakthrough by Pierce and a crucial three-pointer from Ray Allen, they sealed the game.

In the end...

The Celtics defend their home glory with a 5-point advantage, defeating the Heat, who boast the "Big Three."

After the game...

Commentator Van Gundy sighed, "The Green Army played exceptionally well tonight. They haven't grown old yet; they are still in the fight this year. The 'Big Four' can still contend for the championship."

"Exactly..."

Mike Breen agreed, but then turned towards the camera and said, "The Green Army, which can overturn even the Heat's 'Big Three,' is in such a hot streak lately. And their next opponent is the Suns, with the super rookie Carlos, who are on a 10-game winning streak this season. The heated clash between these two teams – who will come out on top? Let's watch and see!"
