The End-

What upset the Celtics most wasn't even the worst of it.

After blocking the shot, Chen Xi had also managed to take control of the ball.

Naturally, the game was still going.

Ignoring Brown as he lay on the floor, Chen Xi immediately turned, dribbled, and charged upcourt.

The [Quick First Step] badge activated again, letting Chen Xi blow past Tatum, who had tried to slow him down, through sheer speed in a straight line. He then reached the top of the key.

Grant Williams appeared in front of Chen Xi once more.

He squared up, determined to keep Chen Xi right there.

He'd already committed five fouls, and he was even prepared to foul again and get ejected.

Unfortunately, Chen Xi didn't give him the chance.

Three steps beyond the three-point line.

Chen Xi stopped abruptly, gathered the ball, and jumped!

In one smooth motion, he completed every part of his shooting form.

Then, in midair, Chen Xi followed his muscle memory—and the instinctive, precise calculations of his brain.

After adjusting his power to just the right amount, he launched the ball with force!

"Chris!!! He's pulling up from way beyond the arc!!"

"Oh my God!!"

"Got it!!!!"

"Chris!! He's put the game away!! There's no chance now! The Celtics have no chance at all! With Chris taking over, Oklahoma has stretched its lead to nine! That's a three-possession game! Boston's chances of tying it now exist only in theory!!"

"Honestly, even if they brought in Tracy McGrady from the night of December 9, 2004, I still don't think they could come back with Chris dominating like this!!"

"Unbelievable! Fearless! Incredible!! Chris has once again been superhuman, burying his opponent just short of the finish line!!!"

The commentators erupted.

The fans in the arena fell silent.

On the court,
