In the end, 96 to 88.

The SuperSonics defended their home court, leading the series 2 to 0.

ESPN’s Mike Breen said, “The SuperSonics might have played their last home game of the season.”

“I think we have found a way to win,” Rivers said in the least confident tone that hinted at the most confidence, “We will definitely beat them at home.”

Rondo was more realistic than his coach, knowing how much losing this game would impact the team.

...

“Before we can conquer them, we have to put our bones back together,” Rondo said, “I just don’t know if we are still determined to endure the agony of being crushed to pieces.”

Defense was the Celtics’ last trump card, but the SuperSonics’ defense was also strong.

If both teams are good defensively, then if one team’s defense is even better, the game will inevitably come down to offense.

But the Celtics’ offense just couldn’t compare to the SuperSonics.

That’s what brought about the despair after the logic of winning broke down.

Unless the SuperSonics were off their game, the Celtics could see no hope of victory.

It’s worth mentioning there was an interesting incident during the game.

The Associated Press reported a piece of news titled “Seattle Fans Risk Safety to Check Scores.”

This was in the report: A Seattle man was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack. In the coronary care unit, his first request was to watch the second game of the NBA Finals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Boston Celtics. Soon after, his heart stopped beating. The doctors urgently revived him, but had to insert a tracheal tube. Dr. Scott Linscott from the hospital said, “He couldn’t speak, but he gestured for a piece of paper and a pencil. He wrote down that he wanted to know the SuperSonics’ score. This was a man who had just died. Then he wrote another note asking the nurses to let him continue watching the game. The nurses were hesitant, but the man kept pleading. Finally, they allowed him to watch the game. The report says that the man’s condition stabilized after the SuperSonics won the second game.”

After the game, the SuperSonics sent community favorite Alonzo Gee to visit the fan.

“This is the best day of my life!” the fan tweeted along with a photo he took with Gee.

Later on, the SuperSonics will go to Boston to play an away game.

Unless there’s a surprise, they are expected to win the championship away from home.

After research, the top management of the SuperSonics decided to propose an ambitious financing plan to the city government on June 10th, which is the afternoon of Game 4 of the Finals.

Clay Bennett wanted to build a multifunctional sports complex in the city center that would cost over 500 million US dollars.

Then, some sources from the city hall mentioned: the mayor and most council members believed that the SuperSonics deserved a better arena than Key Arena. As a cultural totem of Seattle and even the most successful sports club in the State of Washington, the rustiness of Key Arena had become a local disgrace.

New Yorkers would offer the best arena to the Knicks, good or bad, and Los Angeles would do the same for the Lakers, even if they continuously failed. Could Seattle not achieve this?

The public support for the SuperSonics overwhelmed all opponents when news of the victory in Game 3 of the Finals reached them.

Even within the MCCAIT organization, there were severe divisions.

Because they were becoming a contradiction within Seattle.

Because their organization is named “Let Citizens Focus on More Important Issues,” yet now they were vigorously opposing what the citizens cared about most?

Before Game 4 of the finals, Roy was DNP due to a thigh strain.

He, who had wanted to stay in Boston to witness the team achieve three consecutive championships, was called back to Seattle.

Because the team was going to submit a financing plan to the city government today, they needed a person of renown for the task, and Roy was originally assigned. However, after he made a comeback, unforeseen circumstances arose, ultimately falling back on Roy.

At the start of the game, Durant’s three-pointer took the lead.

Soon after, Chris Bosh also made trouble in a pick-and-roll offense.

With Yu Fei not firing much, the SuperSonics scored 22 points in half a period.

The Celtics were routed.

At that moment, the fans in Seattle were keenly aware that their team was about to win three consecutive championships.

Tens of thousands of fans gathered outside the city hall office waiting for the result.

Roy represented his team in submitting the financing plan to the city government.

However, while the politicians whispered to each other about their thoughts, the numbers outside grew louder by the minute.

“What, 55 to 32, 58 to 32…”

Mayor Nichols only found out it was the real-time score of the finals after having someone inquire about it.

This made some people itch with excitement.

So someone suggested, “Why not watch the game first?”

This was the most dramatic scene of the day, right when the city government was deciding whether to pass the SuperSonics’ new arena funding proposal, they suddenly decided to put the matter aside and drop all the work at hand because whatever those were, today, they weren’t as important as the SuperSonics’ game.

And so, they turned on ABC’s live broadcast of the game right there in the government office building…

“No way, folks…”

Roy never expected things to turn out this way.

The mayor gave him a reassuring look.

Everything was going to be okay, Brandon.

Then Roy stepped outside to update the fans.

“Brandon!” a representative of the fans shouted through a megaphone, “What did the mayor say?”

“No result,” Roy said, “they’re watching the live broadcast…”

Perhaps nothing could better illustrate the government’s attitude than this, suddenly, that fan representative loudly shouted out the name of the SuperSonics, and then thousands of people at the scene joined in shouting, while some continued to report the score.

Some things were bound to have a conclusion.

Roy knew they were about to succeed.

By halftime, the audience already knew this would be the last game of the season.

Because the SuperSonics led the Celtics by 26 points at halftime.

In the second half, the gap widened even further.

Fei hardly did anything, it was just the Celtics performing poorly, while his teammates were excited like it was the last exam before summer vacation.

When Jermaine O’Neal hit a comical buzzer-beating three-pointer in the fourth quarter, the game completely turned into a one-man show.

Tyronn Lue played a rotation of twelve players, Fei got over 15 minutes of rest time.

“Last twenty seconds! The SuperSonics have stopped attacking!”

“The SuperSonics are about to defend their title!”

“This is their third consecutive championship!”

“And it’s Frye’s seventh championship in eight years!”

The crowd counted down until the red light lit up, the SuperSonics players hugged each other excitedly, Lue leaned on his assistant coach and broke down crying, only one person didn’t have an intense reaction.

Fei still felt as if it were all a dream.

Is it over?

He gave an official interview on the spot, said a few clichéd phrases, and then headed towards the player’s tunnel.

When he opened the locker room door, champagne sprayed onto his face, the sting of the alcohol making him realize this journey had truly come to an end.

He picked up a bottle of champagne from the ground and sprayed back.

Minutes later, the locker room was still noisy, Lin Kaiwen walked over with a mobile phone and handed it to Fei: “Brandon’s call.”

“Hey, you should see what a mess it is here!” Fei wiped his face and asked, “What’s it like on your end?”

Then, he heard the chaotic roaring from the other end.

Some were shouting “Champions,” some were shouting “SuperSonics,” and others were shouting “Seattle.”

It seemed some were even crying.

“Frye,” Roy said, his voice trembling, “It’s raining in Seattle!”
