3+1!

The moment the ball went in, the fans at the arena were stunned and in disbelief.

Iman Shumpert held his head in his hands, Kyrie Irving sighed, and LeBron James stood with his hands on his hips, staring blankly.

116 to 110.

A 6-point difference, this 3+1, regardless of whether Tang Tian made the free throw or not, had already sealed the game.

The Cavaliers played much better than in the opening game, but they still couldn't escape being defeated.

Yes, defeated by Tang Tian again.

Just then, there was a commotion in the arena, and many people looked up at the LED screen.

The players on the court also looked up involuntarily.

On the LED screen, Tang Tian's stats for the game were displayed.

60 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, and 3 turnovers!

60+ triple-double!

Tang Tian had achieved a historic 60+ triple-double!

"He has achieved another incredible feat. He is the most incredible existence of this era!"

The home commentator on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim.

This was a 60+ triple-double! The only one in history!

On social media, fans had already stopped caring about the outcome of the game and entered a unified frenzy of praise.

"My wife asked me why I was kneeling on the keyboard to watch the game. I told her, I just like kneeling!"

"60+ triple-double! The reason why no one has ever achieved this record is because it means that at least 80 points in a game are related to that person!"

"80 points! The average score of an NBA game is only around 100 points. Considering that person needs to rest, and 80 points is just the minimum score, and there are free throws in the game, it sounds impossible to do!"

"But Tang did it! And this was achieved after the officiating standards changed. Although it's not good to favor the present over the past, I still have to say that he is the strongest player in NBA history!"

"Agreed. Before the change in officiating standards, I felt that the strength of the players in the current league couldn't compare to the past, but after the change, I realized that I underestimated the adjustment ability of superstars. Tang is the strongest one!"

"Jordan said he's sitting just fine and doesn't want to get up. You guys keep chatting."

...

The fans on social media were collectively in a frenzy, but the players on the court didn't know.

The game wasn't over yet. Tang Tian still had one free throw to take.

Tang Tian adjusted his breathing and took the free throw.

Miraculously, there was only a small amount of heckling in the arena.

Tang Tian had already made history, and every point he scored was breaking it.

At this time, most people were holding respect, even the opponents.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's free throw went in, bringing his personal score up to 61 points.

The Cavaliers called their final timeout.

Tang Tian was welcomed by his teammates like a madman when he came off the court.

Bojan ran over and hugged him directly, almost planting a hard kiss on his face.

60+ triple-double.

What the players said in the locker room before the game had come true, and they had exceeded the target!

Stevens also smiled and patted Tang Tian hard on the shoulder before arranging tactics.

When he first came to the Pelicans, he said he didn't want to miss the opportunity to coach Jordan. Now it seems he's coaching more than just Jordan!

When the timeout returned, the Cavaliers' outside line was pressured by the Pelicans and had no chance. LeBron James quickly broke through to the basket and scored 2 points.

But without three-pointers, the game was no longer in doubt.

The Cavaliers tried to prevent Tang Tian from receiving the ball. Jrue Holiday received the ball and ran around before being fouled. There were only 10 seconds left.

He steadily made both free throws, killing the game early.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Cavaliers 119-112 on the road, sweeping the season series against their opponents!

For the Cavaliers, LeBron James had 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, Whiteside had 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 blocks, Kyrie Irving had 18 points, Kevin Love had 11 points, and J.R. Smith had 15 points off the bench.

For the Pelicans, Anthony Davis had 15 points and 11 rebounds, Jrue Holiday had 11 points, Ariza had 9 points, Jokic had 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, and Bojan and Williams each had 7 points off the bench.

Tang Tian had 61 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, and 4 steals.

After the game, reporters couldn't find LeBron James or Whiteside for an interview.

After completing the handshake, they slipped back to the locker room.

They had been a pretty big backdrop tonight.

Unable to find anyone on the court, the reporters could only go to the press conference.

"You said before the game that you would prevent Tang from getting a triple-double, but he got it, and it was a 60+ triple-double."

"You said before the game that Tang was a data刷子 (shuā zi, stat padder), but a 60+ triple-double doesn't seem like something you can just pad."

"You said before the game that the team would definitely win easily tonight, but now the team has lost."

...

Whiteside became the focus of questions from reporters.

After having his face slapped swollen, he had to face the reporters' barrage of questions with his swollen face.

He stammered. The reporters' questions... he couldn't answer them!

LeBron James didn't rush to speak, Whiteside's repeated brainlessness was also a time for him to learn a lesson.

But LeBron James might not understand Whiteside's brain circuit.

The current predicament not only didn't make him learn a lesson, on the contrary, he had already thought about the next time he played the Pelicans, he would say even harsher words.

"LeBron, although the Cavaliers lost tonight, their performance was clearly better than at the beginning of the season, and we also noticed that you didn't throw magnesium powder before the game. Is there any relationship between the two?"

After asking Whiteside, the reporter then turned the spearhead of questioning to LeBron James.

"No, there's no relationship."

"Then why did you suddenly stop throwing magnesium powder?"

After seeing LeBron James' denial, the reporter continued to press.

"I won't do that again (referring to throwing magnesium powder) until I win a championship for this city."

LeBron James' next answer made all the reporters in the audience look up.

With this sentence, LeBron James had made up his mind!

Throwing magnesium powder had always been his signature move, whether it was during Cavaliers 1.0, or the Heat era, including the 2.0 era after returning to the Cavaliers, he had always maintained this habit.

That was his personal label.

But now he had given up this personal label in order to express his determination!

Fans were still discussing Tang Tian's 60+ triple-double after the game, but LeBron James' remarks after the game were quickly exposed by the media and attracted the attention of fans.

"My Emperor is mighty! Domineering! This is determination! The Cavaliers will definitely win the championship this year!"

"Losing a game is nothing to be afraid of, it's not like we haven't lost before, but to still have this kind of determination after losing, that's my Emperor!"

"Guys don't worry, my Emperor will be able to take back this action next year! The Cavaliers lost this game, but they will definitely win the Finals!"

"Yes, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love didn't perform well in this game. When they adjust their state later, the Cavaliers will definitely win! My Emperor will definitely win!"

"If, I mean if LeBron never wins another championship, does that mean he can never use this action again..."

"Get out! Where did you come from?! How could my Emperor never win another championship! No ifs!"

"Just watch, no matter if it's the Pelicans, Warriors, Spurs, or Mavericks, my Cavaliers will definitely win the championship this year! My Emperor will definitely take back the position of the number one player in the league!"
