Chapter 110: The New King

In the fifth minute of the first quarter, Gan Guoyang stood on the free-throw line and hit both free throws, bringing the score to 11:15, with the Celtics leading the Trail Blazers by 4 points.

Back on their home court, the Celtics came with a do-or-die attitude, determined to defeat the Trail Blazers in a life-or-death battle, win this game, and drag it to a game seven, where the advantage would then be in the Celtics' hands.

Especially Bird, facing defense from Jerome Kossie, he kept hitting shots, vowing to wash away the humiliation of scoring only 11 points in Game 5.

The Trail Blazers were off to a slightly slow start, and the Celtics continued their tight double-team defense on Gan Guoyang; having him score 50 points was truly a shame.

Auerbach was furious after Game 5, saying that if Ah Gan scored more than 25 points in the next game, he would cut all the players!
