Chapter 441: The Man Who Conquered the Away Fans

The fans at American Airlines Arena today were in for a treat, as they witnessed an incredible battle!

The Miami Heat's Big Five played exceptionally well, while the Phoenix Suns suffered from Durant's injury, Thompson's foul trouble, and Curry's shooting touch being drenched by the rain.

And so, Wade Dong achieved multiple records...

In the last century, Wilt Chamberlain had the divine records of 18-for-18, 16-for-16, and 15-for-15 in a single game. In this century, only Yao Ming has achieved 12-for-12.

It's worth noting that the shooting percentage of inside players is generally higher than that of outside players...

One can imagine how difficult it was for Wade Dong to go 29-for-29, not missing a single free throw. This record is even harder to break than Chamberlain's 100-point game, which is why the away fans chanted 'MVP' for him at the end of the game.

...

The game had just ended.

Kobe immediately tweeted, "What did I miss?! Not going to American Airlines Arena to watch the game tonight is the biggest regret of my life."

"29-for-29, this is the greatest record in history."

After the game, Durant posted a tweet, and within a few dozen minutes, the number of comments exceeded ten thousand.

"The fact that you can tweet means it's not a serious injury."

"Is your injury okay?"

"Can you make a comeback in the next game?"

"Come back soon, Dong Ge needs help. "

"Get well soon!"

"Go, idol!"

... .

"The mountains bow, the streams are silent, the Cangwu mourns, and friends and family shed tears. Today, with heavy hearts, we mourn Durant on this Twitter thread.

Comrade Durant was born on September 29, 1988, and on June 10, 2014, he missed the third game of the Finals due to an injury. As a member of the Phoenix Suns, Comrade Durant worked diligently and practiced hard... I can't continue writing this, brothers."

The last comment was written in Chinese and received the most likes.

Durant didn't understand Chinese, so he showed the tweet to Gentry, but there were some characters even Gentry didn't recognize. He then turned to Wade Dong and asked, "Dong Ge, what are these netizens saying?"

"This..."

Wade Dong took a look and patted Durant on the shoulder, "The netizens are wishing you happiness."

"Is that what it means?"

Seeing Wade Dong's ambiguous smile, Durant had his doubts, feeling that there was more to it.

The Phoenix Suns players rested in the locker room for a while before preparing for the post-game press conference.

The Miami Heat players had just finished their interviews, and even James couldn't stop praising Wade Dong's performance tonight. James added, "There is no player stronger than Wade Dong on this planet. All we can do is unite and defeat the Phoenix Suns. "

Post-game press conference.

As soon as Wade Dong sat down, the reporters swarmed him.

Wade Dong had created numerous historical records, but only a few could be compared to his 29-for-29 performance, such as the five double-doubles and the 21 steals in a single game.

"All statistics are meaningless when you lose the game."

During the interview, Wade Dong's expression was calm. "Let's not bring up my 29-for-29 performance again. It's not that impressive. Even Wilt Chamberlain had an 18-for-18 game."

Reporter: "..."

"Tonight's victory belongs to you. If you had two more minutes, you would have led the team to a comeback."

"There are no 'ifs' in basketball."

...

"Dong Ge, do you think this loss is related to your teammates' poor performance?"

This question was a trap, and the reporter who asked it had ill intentions. Wade Dong looked at him and smiled, "I have the best teammates in the world. They just lent me their shooting touch tonight, but I let them down by not leading the team to victory."

"We won't lose the next game!"

... .

The rain in Miami got heavier. When the team bus left the arena, the fans were still outside, reluctant to leave.

"MVP!"

"Dong Ge!"

"MVP!"

"Dong Ge!"

"MVP!"

"Dong Ge!"

These crazy fans threw away their umbrellas, shoes, and even their girlfriends, chasing after the team bus while shouting 'MVP' and expressing their admiration for Wade Dong.

Durant looked on enviously, "Dong Ge, you've conquered the Heat fans!"

"Don't pay attention to these details."

Wade Dong waved his hand and said, "Let's adjust our state. We can't lose the next game. I'm eager to return to Huaxia and get married."

"Understood, Dong Ge."

"I will make my comeback in the next game!"

"You should give up..."

Wade Dong shook his head at Durant, "Focus on recovering, and then we'll beat the Heat at home!"

The plan was to end the Finals in four games, but now it's been extended to five... Wade Dong really gave it his all in this game, using one bottle of 'Stamina Potion' and six bottles of 'Luck Potion', but he still couldn't lead the team to victory. This shows how strong the Miami Heat's Big Five are.

...

June 12th, heavy rain!

Miami has been experiencing continuous heavy rain these days, making Gentry extremely irritable.

They had been hiding in the hotel for two days without going out, but fortunately, the Phoenix Suns play away games and don't have the habit of renting arenas for training, so staying in the hotel didn't affect the team much.

They returned to American Airlines Arena, and the heavy rain continued. This time, Curry didn't joke around with Varick.

During the pre-game warm-up, Curry practiced three-point shooting on the court.

Before the game started, many superstar players had already arrived, including Kobe, Irving, Duncan, Nash, and Iverson... There were also athletes from other fields, such as football's Henry and Beckham, sprinting's Bolt, tennis... boxing... and the entertainment industry...

Although they were all big stars, many of them had been defeated by Wade Dong, like Bolt.

Old friends met, but there were no greetings!

Everyone was waiting for the game to start. The starting lineups for this game were:

Miami Heat: James, Wade, Anthony, Paul, Bosh

Phoenix Suns: Wade Dong, McGrady, Curry, Thompson, Green

In the past two days, many media outlets had been in contact with the Phoenix Suns, trying to get information indirectly... Some media reporters even staked out the hotel where Gentry was staying.

The Phoenix Suns' explanation was that Durant only had a minor calf strain and it wasn't serious. As for whether he would play in this game, they couldn't confirm yet.

This ambiguous answer was a smokescreen.

Before the game, Durant even warmed up, which the Heat noticed.

In Zhang's and Yu Jia's pre-game analysis, they also discussed how much playing time Durant would get in this game. However, when the starting lineups were announced, everyone was disappointed to see that Durant was not on the list.
