LeBron James running away? He's going all in on Curry.

However, in those few short seconds when the whole place was in a frenzy of celebration...

The referee, however, blew his whistle with a serious expression and made a square gesture in the air with his hands—requesting a video replay!

The Spurs players and bench who were just defending Durant are pointing at the three-point line on the floor to the referee!

On the big screen, the director cut to a close-up of Durant's feet when he shot the ball.

Zoom in, and zoom in again.

Just as Durant jumped, the very tip of his unusually large size 54 shoes landed precisely on the white three-point line!

"Oh my god..."

The cheers from the crowd abruptly ceased, and the expressions of the Los Angeles fans froze.

That was a two-pointer that was practically off the line?!

After reviewing the video, the referee decisively turned around and held up two fingers: Goal is valid, two points!

104 to 104! A draw!

It wasn't a last-minute winner, it was a draw! The match went into extra time!

Watching the replay on the big screen, Kevin Durant cursed in frustration, looking at his feet, which were as big as yachts, and wished he could cut off a section of the toe of his shoe on the spot.

The Spurs, who narrowly escaped defeat, were terrified, and in the ensuing overtime, the situation took a bizarre turn.

Once the game went into overtime, the young Kevin Durant... apparently ran out of power!

In order to keep the score close during regulation time, Durant pushed himself to the limit on both offense and defense, and his stamina was now almost depleted.

In the five minutes of overtime, Durant's four isolation shots all ended in soft misses!

"Kevin's tired! His long arms and legs felt like lead in overtime!" the commentator pointed out the Clippers' Achilles' heel.

Just as the Spurs were preparing to finish the game in one fell swoop.

Kyrie Irving, the guard who had been struggling with ball possession issues throughout regulation time, stepped up!

You're out of energy? Perfect, give me the ball!

Facing the Spurs' impenetrable defense, Irving displayed his historically top-tier, unrestricted one-on-one ability!

For three consecutive possessions, Irving, from the right 45-degree angle, used a dazzling series of dribbling changes of direction to leave the aging sports car and the "Giannis Blade" completely bewildered.

A sudden stop and fadeaway! A high layup off the backboard! A three-pointer!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One man scored 8 points in a row! With his unreasonable, godlike one-on-one play, he solved the Clippers' offensive stagnation in overtime!

"drop--!"

The match is over, 115 to 111!

The Los Angeles Clippers narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs in overtime, thanks to Kyrie Irving's hero shot, to win the Western Conference championship and advance to the NBA Finals!

……

Despite winning the decisive Game 7, the atmosphere in the post-game press conference was unusually strange.

Facing the barrage of questions from the American media, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving sat side by side at the podium, the air between them seemingly frozen.

Durant was embarrassed by his three-pointer that left him in the line and his disappearance in overtime, while Irving seemed a bit arrogant because of his heroics in overtime.

"Kevin! Kyrie! Congratulations on advancing to the Finals!"

ESPN's star reporter stood up and posed the question that had been hanging over the Clippers all season:

"The Clippers are an overflowing team of talent. But in the overtime just now, we saw a different way of taking over."

"With the NBA Finals approaching, and facing the formidable Cleveland Cavaliers, who do you think is the true clutch player on this super team? Who is the true leader of this team?"

Who's the boss?! Who's Batman, and who's Robin?!

The moment the question was asked, the entire press conference room fell silent.

Durant touched his nose expressionlessly, his eyes darting around without responding.

As a perennial runner-up, he desperately wanted to be number one, but his poor performance in overtime made him unable to assert himself at this moment.

Irving smiled slightly and gave an extremely philosophical and evasive answer:

"We are a whole. The basketball is round, and each person is a unique energy body on this planet. We don't need to define who is the leader; we are only responsible for finding a way to win within the frequency of the universe."

This nonsensical, "divine" speech left the reporters in the audience completely bewildered.

No one was willing to answer this thorny question directly.

The power vacuum in the Clippers' locker room was exposed at this moment!

In this awkward silence that made one want to dig their toes into the ground.

Sitting on the very edge, Paul Pierce, who joined the Clippers this season on a veteran's minimum salary to "cling to their coattails" in pursuit of a second championship, suddenly cleared his throat and pulled the microphone in front of him.

This former Celtics legend, with his condescending old-school star attitude, began to flaunt his seniority and act like a big shot:

"Listen, lads. The question of who the leader is isn't actually that complicated."

Pierce, with a straight face, said seriously, "I've been to the top of the mountain before, and I know what kind of blood is needed to win a championship. These young men are very talented, but they still need my guidance."

"In the locker room, I'll use my championship experience to mold them into a cohesive unit. In crucial moments, I'll tell them what to do. As the only veteran on this team who has truly proven himself, I should take on the role of leader..."

Pierce's pretentious "power grab" speech was not finished yet.

In the audience, a hot-tempered reporter from the Orange County Register, who had long disliked this low-wage worker, interrupted him!

"Paul! Give me a break!"

The reporter, holding a microphone, zoomed in on the camera right in front of the nationally televised broadcast:

"You're averaging 10 minutes per game in this series, and you're only managing a paltry 3.5 points! You're getting blown apart by the Spurs' bench!"

"This is Los Angeles! Sitting here is a three-time scoring champion and All-Star starting guard!"

The reporter posed a thought-provoking question:

"Earning a veteran's minimum salary on this team..."

Who do you think you are?!

boom--!

The entire room fell silent!

Then, one of the reporters couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, filling the entire press conference room with a cheerful atmosphere!

Paul Pierce's face flushed a deep purplish-red, his hand holding the microphone froze in mid-air, and he wished he could disappear into the ground on the spot.

Meanwhile, in front of a television set in Cleveland.

Watching this farce that resembled a Hollywood blockbuster, Su Yang laughed until tears almost streamed down his face.

"He doesn't even dare to admit who the leader is, and this veteran on a minimum salary salary wants to jump out and act like a spiritual leader?"

Su Yang shook his head, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"This disorganized, deformed warship thinks it can stop the iron hooves of my dynasty?"

"Grand Finals, get ready for the real judgment."
