After the final buzzer sounded, the arena erupted in an uproar.
Many fans covered their faces, unwilling to believe it. They had really lost!
The Warriors players all wore looks of disbelief as well.
Curry squatted on the floor with his hands over his head. Durant stared blankly, Thompson looked conflicted, Green stood with his hands on his hips, and Cole looked utterly lost...
Despite leading by a full 22 points in the third quarter, they had still been overturned by the Pelicans!
They had led for nearly the entire game, only to be taken down in the final second!
It was like running ten thousand meters—they had won the first 9,999, only to lose on the final meter!
But that was reality.
They had lost!
Even though Thompson scored 41 points, even though Curry and Durant hit Clutch Shots one after another.
They had still been nearly beaten at the buzzer by Tang Tian's three-pointer!
The Pelicans players charged onto the court like madmen, rushing toward Tang Tian.
They had beaten the Warriors once again!
But compared to last year, this year's win was clearly much more convincing, because they had defeated the Four-star Warriors—the strongest team on paper!
The Pelicans players crashed into Tang Tian from every direction. He grimaced and cried out in pain, telling them to take it easy.
The yank Green had given his arm still hurt badly, even though the spray had eased the pain.
But his excited teammates could not be stopped, so he could only endure the pain while enjoying it.
Enjoying this utterly exhilarating victory!

The fans who had prepared streamers in advance began firing them off, sending ribbons flying through the sky.
