章 149: Chapter 149: Single-Game Blocks Record (Part 2)
During the timeout, Coach Gentry looked at the stats.
"You're only 4 blocks away from tying the single-game blocks record!"
"Come on, Wade!"
The Suns players also cheered for Wade Dong. This was a record that hadn't been broken in thirty years, and Wade Dong was about to break it.
Coach Gentry said, "You don't need to rest in the fourth quarter. Just play the whole game. You already have 6 assists, so try to get a few more assists and go for the quadruple-double as well."
...
In China.
The fans were also excited.
"Wade is amazing!"
"13 blocks, Wade is going for the Defensive Player of the Year this season."
"With this performance, not winning the Defensive Player of the Year would be unjust."
"Guys, I have a bad feeling. The Suns are already leading the Celtics by 20 points. The game is about to enter garbage time. Will Wade not play anymore?"
"No way..."
Thinking that the game was about to enter garbage time, the fans all started praying, "Celtics, step it up and close the gap, let my Wade stay on the court!"
"I want to witness history!"
"I want to see Wade get a quadruple-double!"
...
The third quarter rest period was about to end.
Wade Dong pretended to hesitate, "We're leading by so much, won't it look like I'm padding stats if I stay on the court?"
"Boo..."
The Suns players collectively booed Wade Dong, "Wade, you're worried about that?"
From the moment you chose to play the power forward position, you were already padding stats. Now that the record is within reach, you're saying this... Aren't you having your cake and eating it too?
Wade Dong saw Dudley's eyes wandering and kicked him in the butt, "Were you cursing me in your mind?"
"I wasn't!"
Dudley felt wronged but still forced back tears and gave a thumbs up, "Wade is amazing, you have to break the historical blocks record."
"That's more like it!"
Wade Dong walked confidently at the front, with Green, Gortat, Middleton, and Dragic following behind like his entourage.
"Wade! Wade! Wade!"
The fans saw that Wade Dong didn't become arrogant despite leading by 20 points and stayed on the court. They excitedly shouted Wade Dong's name.
Who cares if he's padding stats, this is a historic moment!
And Wade Dong's 13 blocks already tied for the fifth-highest in history, ahead of him were legends like Bol, Ewing, Olajuwon, and Mutombo.
The Celtics had a full bench lineup.
Being down by 20 points was a significant deficit, and with Wade Dong's defensive prowess today, the Celtics were already thinking about giving up the game.
They first sent out a full bench lineup. If this lineup could close the gap, they would continue with the starters to chase the score. If the gap widened, the Celtics would completely give up the game. After all, the Celtics' starters, like Garnett and Pierce, were in their thirties and couldn't push themselves like they used to.
Celtics head coach Rivers saw that the Suns were still leading by twenty points and kept Wade Dong on the court. He angrily said, "Shameless..."
This was clearly not for the sake of winning the game but to let Wade Dong pad his stats.
"Shoot from the perimeter!"
Rivers shouted from the sidelines to the bench players, "Try not to enter the three-second area."
"Jerk..."
Wade Dong glanced at Rivers. This guy didn't want to help him break the single-game blocks record.
The fourth quarter began.
Wade Dong received the ball in the three-second area, faked a shot to shake off the defender, and passed the ball to Gortat for an easy layup.
This was a very ordinary shot fake and pass move!
But Wade Dong's shooting ability was too terrifying, so the defender was easily fooled.
7 assists!
Wade Dong was about to get another quadruple-double.
Babosa missed a shot, and Wade Dong grabbed the rebound. Seeing Green already running to the frontcourt, Wade Dong made a long pass to the frontcourt.
Green received the ball at the free-throw line and easily scored a layup! This was the skill of a top-level passer.
8 assists!
You don't want me to break the single-game blocks record? Then I'll just get a quadruple-double for fun!
In the next two minutes, Wade Dong sent out two more assists. For Wade Dong, getting assists was much easier than getting blocks.
97:70!!!
The Celtics were down by 27 points, and the game had lost all suspense.
27 points, 22 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, 13 blocks!
Wade Dong achieved his third quadruple-double, truly becoming the king of quadruple-doubles!
Coach Gentry called a timeout!
This timeout was not for substitutions or tactical adjustments but for Wade Dong.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
"Quadruple-double king! Quadruple-double king! Quadruple-double king!"
All the fans in the US Airways Center stood up and cheered. Wade Dong enjoyed this moment.
After the timeout...
Wade Dong still didn't leave the court.
"Stats padder! Stats padder! Stats padder!"
Rivers angrily threw the tactics board. The game had already entered garbage time, but Wade Dong was still on the court, clearly to pad his stats.
He already had a quadruple-double, but Wade Dong wasn't satisfied. He had to break the historical blocks record.
The Celtics had lost the desire to chase the score. Scalabrine received a pass in the three-second area and casually went for a layup, trying to put the ball in the basket.
"Slap!!!"
Wade Dong couldn't miss this opportunity. He rushed over and gave Scalabrine a huge block!
The ball, after being blocked by Wade Dong, fell back into Scalabrine's hands.
It wasn't because Scalabrine had good rebounding skills but because Wade Dong didn't intend to fight for this rebound.
14 blocks!
"Bad luck potion!"
Wade Dong used another "Bad luck potion" on Scalabrine.
Scalabrine, after getting the ball, seemed possessed and went for another casual layup.
"Slap!!!"
Wade Dong gave him another big block!
Scalabrine received the ball again and went for another layup.
"Slap!!!"
The third big block!
Without deviation, the ball fell back into Scalabrine's hands. This time, Scalabrine didn't blindly go for a layup but made a fake move and chose to shoot.
"Slap!!!"
But this shot was also blocked by Wade Dong and swatted out of bounds.
Scalabrine stood there for a moment, then cried...
"Are you okay, buddy?"
Wade Dong patted Scalabrine's head, feeling a bit embarrassed. Anyone would be traumatized after being blocked four times in a row.
17 blocks!!!
Sending out four consecutive blocks, the fans felt their blood boiling! And Wade Dong had tied the single-game blocks record.
"Bullying the weak!"
Rivers and Garnett were furious. If they weren't on the bench, Garnett might have rushed onto the court to push Wade Dong. They felt Wade Dong was too much, bullying someone like that. After being blocked four times, how could Scalabrine continue to play in the league?
At this point, there were still seven minutes left in the game.
Wade Dong could easily get another block...
With four minutes and fifty seconds left in the game, Wade Dong blocked Babosa's shot from the perimeter. The number of blocks in this game reached 18, and Wade Dong broke the single-game blocks record!
