799: Seven matches are too troublesome, let's be quick.

The electronic buzzer finally sounded, cold and merciless.

100 to 105. The visitors were ahead; the home team trailed.

The Miami Heat had come so close to winning. Maybe all they lacked was LeBron James's open three-pointer...

The moment the game ended, James seemed as though every ounce of strength had been drained from his body. He dropped to one knee, bracing himself against the floor with one hand.

A few drops of liquid fell onto the hardwood. James did not know whether they were sweat or tears.

Beside James, Link looked like a musician who had just completed a flawless performance. He elegantly raised both arms, closed his eyes, and savored his moment of victory.

James, kneeling on one knee, and Link, with his arms raised high, were separated by nothing more than the half-court line.

One half-court line separated heaven from hell.

Countless reporters captured this classic, dramatic scene. It reminded people of Kevin Garnett and Chris Webber, who had met in the playoffs during the 2003-04 season.

In that Western Conference semifinal, the Timberwolves and the dazzling Kings battled through six games and remained deadlocked. The clash between the rising KG and veteran star Chris Webber had been especially fierce.

Before Game 7, KG told everyone, "My chamber has been loaded for a long time."

And in the closing moments of Game 7, Garnett truly fired the bullet from his chamber. In the final quarter, Garnett scored 13 straight points, leaving then-Kings head coach Rick Adelman completely stunned.

At the end of the game, the Kings actually still had a chance at redemption. But just like James today, Webber missed the crucial three-pointer under Garnett's defense. The great Chris Webber missed, and the Sacramento Kings ultimately fell 80 to 83.
