That night, in the North Shore Garden Arena, how many tears and sweat were left around the empty court.

No one knew except those who were present that night.

Even the film crew that was filming Chen Mu's personal documentary could only shoot the picture in the distance of the players' tunnel, and the voices of some conversations were not very real, and they could only hear a rough idea.

What they saw was Lowry stubbornly shooting three-pointers at the same point again and again. It was at this point in the final moments of the game that Lowry missed one of the most important balls he had ever conceded in his life.

What they saw was Chen Mu, who was the boss and absolute core of the team, like a caddie and personal coach, who had been accompanying Lowry, constantly repeating boring exercises, helping Lowry grab rebounds and send passes again and again.

What they saw was the dispute between Iguodala and Milicic, the tears that Milicic dripped, the eyes of Carney, and the process of Iguodala from incomprehension to annoyance, and then from annoyance to emotion.

What they saw was Korver, whose shooting hand was fractured and he couldn't make even one shot at all, stepped forward to Lowry's side and used his only remaining healthy arm to help Lowry correct his shooting posture again and again. Word by word, without the slightest impatience to tell Lowry how a shooter should improve his shooting rate.

All they heard was the sound of basketballs going into the net, smashing frames, smashing rebounds, or bouncing off the ground.

This night was like a long dream, and I didn't know when I would wake up.

Two days later, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals was still in the North Shore Gardens, and it was still a terrifying crowd. It's still the home of the terrible devils, and it's still the strong, healthy Boston Celtics.

The Philadelphia 76ers gave it their all, and some players fell to the ground again and again, and then immediately got up and stepped forward to make up for the position despite the pain. Rebounding scramble again and again. Chen Mu's arm was cut out of the blood, and on his head, body, and arms and palms, he didn't know how many bruises were left after the impact.

The Philadelphia 76ers still lost.

84-88, a four-point deficit, came from Ray Allen's solid two free throws in the final moments. If you don't count this foul tactic, the difference between the two teams is only 2 points.

2-2, the big score of the series was tenaciously equalized by the Celtics. The King Green Shirts began to show their unprecedented domineering. Every subtle action on the pitch can elicit a frantic shout from the fans in the stadium and even Celtic fans around the world.

The Philadelphia 76ers fell, and once again, at the North Shore Garden Arena. Unlike the last game, at the post-game press conference, Lowry, who cried last time, did not cry, but sat on the side. Clasp your hands over your chest and say nothing. The eyes were like fierce beasts, and everyone who looked at them felt chills in their hearts.

Chen Mu, in two consecutive road games, has dropped his average points per game to the lowest point so far in the playoffs, and only scored more than 20 points in each game. Actually, from the second scene. After Boston adopted a terrifying defensive strategy of going around the front and adding top defense and cooperating with the outside line, Chen Mu's personal offense dropped to the freezing point.

People know that this is because Chen Mu himself is injured, if it weren't for the damn Zhongtou's complete lack of touch. With Chen Mu's strength, it is not a problem to average 25 to 30 points per game.

In the continuous defeat, it was not without highlights, Chen Mu's rebounding ball broke the 20 mark in both away games. In the fourth game, he grabbed a terrifying 28 rebounds, including 11 frontcourt rebounds, and almost single-handedly knocked the Celtics to the basket.

But to lose, is to lose.

With a 2-2 score, the Philadelphia 76ers dragged the tired body full of wounded soldiers back to Philadelphia.

When he stepped off the plane and came to a few scenes, what appeared in front of Chen Mu was a frenzied crowd.

“76ERRRRRRRRRRRS！！！！”

The fans never gave up, the fanaticism of the Philadelphia home stadium and the loyalty of the Philadelphia fans were all shown in front of Chen Mu's eyes at this moment.

“UNBREAKABLE！！！”

Among the fans, a fan wearing Chen Mu's No. 5 jersey raised his arms and shouted, and the fans at the scene all shouted in unison. Chen Mu's eyes were red, he didn't speak, he just bit his lip and stretched out his hand to give the fans a thumbs up.

You can't just fall like that.

Absolutely not......!!!

In the fifth game, Wajovia, the Philadelphia 76ers broke out with amazing combat effectiveness. In the almost uninterrupted shouts of the fans for more than two hours, he once again fought with the Celtics until the last moment.

In the last minute and a half, the Philadelphia 76ers, who trailed by three points, defended with all their might. Iguodala completed the death entanglement in a one-on-one situation, cutting off the ball from Pierce's butterfly-piercing dribble and sending a long ball on the counter.

Philadelphia countered at the speed of light, Carney received the ball and hit beyond the three-point line, flew Ray Allen, and then stepped into the basket and took off, and shot a layup under Garnett's interference, but the basketball failed to hit.

Just when the Celtics thought they were winning, behind Garnett, Chen Mu bombarded.

"Bang !!"

The sound of angry buckles sounded, Chen Mu completed a shocking dunk through Garnett, and the moment he landed, the fans shouted MVP again.

The Celtics missed the attack, Chen Mu grabbed the rebound, and actually made an amazing choice of one-stop offense, and was fouled by Perkins and knocked to the ground when he shot.

“NOOOOOOOOOO――！”

The fans in the stadium believed that the ball was a malicious foul, but the referee ruled after repeatedly watching the video that Perkins was a simple hitter and did not maliciously affect Chen Mu's behavior.

At this time, Chen Mu gasped and got up, his fingers hurt as if he had been pierced by a thousand nails, stood on the free throw line, and made one of two free throws.

The two sides were tied, and in the last 30 seconds, the Celtics' attack to the last moment was interfered with by Lowry, Garnett's shot was missed, and Chen Mu, who had been on the court for more than 40 minutes, actually grabbed the rebound again.

After that, the time of lore came again. Fans, reporters, football critics and spectators have lost count of how many similar key moments have occurred in this round of the series, and they all held their breath and didn't dare to take a breath.

Philadelphia fans, in particular, clasped their hands together and prayed for a miracle to befall the 76ers again.

In the last 8 seconds, Philadelphia served the ball in the frontcourt, and after the figure-eight run, the basketball was handed to Iguodala.

The Philadelphia Flyers shook the ball to the basket and sent a difficult pass under the bag, Chen Mu received the ball from a mid-range distance and started to play.

Garnett stepped forward and roared to block, but when he jumped, he found that Chen Mu collected the basketball, then dribbled the ball and took a step back.

Step-back jumper......!!!

No one would have thought that Chen Mu would make such a choice at such a moment, and in the surprised eyes of the Celtics players, the basketball left Chen Mu's fingers and walked out of an imperfect arc.

It doesn't matter if it's perfect or not, whether the arc is beautiful or not, whether the shooting posture is standard or not.

The important thing is that the ball will not go in.

“DEAL-WITH-IT。”

Chen Mu glanced at the basket, and in a moment's effort, Garnett, who rushed forward, had already blocked his vision.

With a muffled bang, Garnett and Chen Mu collided in the air, and both fell to the ground at the same time.

The basketball came to the top of the basket, slammed lightly on the neck, and then walked forward.

“…… Swish! ”

"Wow!!!!"

The audience was bursting.

Chen Mu fell to the ground, his shooting hand was still held high, and he was already clenched into a fist. The lights in front of him were about to blur, his physical strength was completely at the limit, and not far from his side, Garnett couldn't move.

Then, ecstatic smiling faces appeared in front of Chen Mu's eyes, including Carney, Iguodala, Milicic, and Lowry.

The players on the bench couldn't hold back their excitement and rushed into the field, carnivaling wantonly. Carlisle took a deep breath, leaned back, and lay down in his chair, unable to say a word. The tactical board in his hand landed on the floor with a thud, and the marker pen rolled in a direction that he didn't know.

3-2, the Philadelphia 76ers defended their home court, and the Eastern Conference Finals came to the most exciting moment.

“UNBREAKABLE！！！！！”

The audience rang out with a uniform shout, the Philadelphia 76ers, in Wachovia, immortal.

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked Chen Mu why he chose to step back and jump at that time?

"Aren't you worried that your bad hand will make this killer ball not go in?"

"To go in or not to go in, in a way, I can control it. As long as I shoot well enough and make a nice jump shot, the ball will go in. And if I don't shoot well and have a bad hand, the probability of not going in will increase. ”

Chen Mu said: "But from another point of view, whether the ball will go in or not is God's business. ”

"When the basketball flies, it enters the realm of the gods. God will look upon me, and the ball will go in. God doesn't favor me, and even if I shoot a perfect A+, I probably won't score. So from this point of view, you are right, I should really worry that my hand is so bad that the lore ball will not go in. But ......"

Chen Mu stepped forward, looked at the reporter, and said in a deep voice: "I don't think about the problem from this angle. ”

"I'm thinking about it, the chances are there, and if you don't take it and don't shoot, then the ball won't go in 100 per cent. And if you dare to shoot, no matter how bad the posture of the shot is, no matter how bad the feel is, no matter how low the probability of scoring a goal is, there is still God who is watching over you. ”

"Those who save themselves, Tianheng saves them. God only favors those who dare to try, doesn't he? ”

After speaking, Chen Mu smiled lightly, nodded his chin to the reporter and said, "If you think what I said is wrong, you can go to Los Angeles tomorrow and ask Kobe, and he will agree with me." ”

The series isn't over yet......! (To be continued.) )
