(Please vote for me monthly!) In the last second of regulation time, Phil Jackson arranged a sideline explosion strategy, but Glenn Rice, who received the ball, couldn’t finish.

Under Pippen’s timely defense, he missed the shot, sending the game into overtime.

Roger’s matchup with Kobe in the previous possession was spectacular, with impeccable offense and defense from both players.

If you watch the slow-motion replay, you would marvel at it being one of the most aesthetically pleasing high-level one-on-one showdowns in the NBA.

But no one cared about that potential game-tying shot.

People were still discussing the ethically questionable connection between Pierce and Shaq, still savoring the recent imagery, atmosphere, and scent.

Marv Albert felt that Paul Pierce deserved at least a one-game suspension: “He disturbed the public order!

He polluted the public environment!”

Bill Walton couldn’t contain his amusement: “Yes, we must protect the environment.

Look at Shaq, struggling to survive in a polluted environment.

Shaq said in a press conference that even if Paul farted, he would endure the smell to complete a block, but he certainly didn’t expect Paul to have something even worse up his sleeve.

Damn, after the game we must have someone interview him, I really want to know what he felt in that instant!”

There couldn’t have been a more magical moment, one second Paul Pierce was just a poor guy who failed to challenge the giant.

The next second, he completely subdued Shaq.

One thought Kobe had it bad enough when he got punched by him, but it turned out Shaq had it even worse.

Paul Pierce, a man who truly trampled the OK duo underfoot.

Pierce did not wish for tonight to become the second Game 7 of the Eastern Finals; he succeeded.

From now on, people will completely forget the Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 of 1999.

And the Finals Game 2 of 2000 will still have sky-high ratings even if it’s broadcasted on ESPN Classic for a hundred years!

On the bench, Lenny Wilkens had a vacant look in his eyes.

After half a lifetime in professional basketball, he had never seen something so preposterous.

Regardless, he was about to lose his number two scorer in overtime.

What to do next?

What exactly did Shaq taste in his mouth just now?

“Damn it!” Lenny Wilkens shook his head, I should focus on the game!

There was no helping it, the shocking scene was like a brand seared into the minds of all those who witnessed it.

A brand that would never fade in their lifetimes.

Pippen, having seen his fair share of big moments, clapped his hands trying to bring everyone’s attention back to the game: “Paul has done all he could, he has given it his all, let’s keep it up!”

The guys felt something was off about those words; given it his all?

Yeah, he had let it all out.

In the end, only Big Ben agreed, nodding: “At least he took Shaq down, though his method was a bit shitty.

But just like Scott said, Paul gave it his all!”

At that moment, a wave of commotion spread across the arena.

Everyone looked up at the big screen, wanting to know what had happened.

Instead, they saw Shaquille O’Neal emerging from the player’s tunnel!

Shaq’s eyes were red and bloodshot, his expression one of agony.

That look only has two possible reasons, either his throat was poked, or he had thrown up.

No one dared imagine how violently Shaq must have vomited after returning to the locker room.

Trying to appear resolute, and seeing the wooden floor stained with a pile of vomit, O’Neal still leaned against the wall and retched.

He would always remember that taste!

Next to him, the Lakers’ team doctor nervously handed a trash bin to Shaq.

Shaq waved his hand, smelled his fingertips placed under his nose to confirm there was no foul odor left, then continued towards the court.

At that moment, he was so great.

Even some Hawks fans couldn’t help but applaud for Shaq.

Marv Albert exclaimed: “This is the greatest comeback of a king in NBA playoff history!”

Yes, most people return to the court with physical pains.

But do you know what Shaq has been through?

He literally got shit on his head!

That kind of damage is incomparable to ordinary injuries and illnesses!

Since the 1980s, no black player has suffered psychological trauma as huge as what Shaq endured today.

Bill Russell only had to deal with someone defecating on his bed.

Shaq, on the other hand, had it right on his face.

Thus, his return represented an almost incomprehensible fortitude, epitomizing what true sportsmanship is all about!

Shaq returned to the court, patted Kobe on the head: “Did you just miss?

No worries, little bro, let’s take down that bastard together!”

Kobe tilted his head, not letting Shaq continue the pat.

What he hated most about Shaq was this attitude, always playing the big brother, always acting as if he was leading him – such a self-righteous bastard.

Who wants to be the little brother?

There was another reason Kobe avoided O’Neal: Shaq’s hand had just touched something filthy!

Kobe swore that he would shave off his afro once the game ended.

O’Neal decided to forget everything that had just happened, not even the taste of shit would stop him from taking the victory!

Lenny Wilkens swore under his breath, who would have thought that O’Neal could make it back so quickly?

Paul Pierce too, having taken a dump, why didn’t he just flood Shaq with it?

Now what?

Send someone to do it again?

There were no other options left, now Roger had to face reality: to confront the OK duo alone in overtime!
