The game on the court continued.
There was no denying it: when Su Xi and James worked together, their combined athletic prowess and Su Xi's formidable defense posed a serious threat to the Pacers' backcourt.
But just then, Reggie Miller stepped up again.
The veteran first hit a three-pointer, then assisted on a dunk by Little O'Neal, and even drew the sixth foul on Ilgauskas.
The Cavaliers were forced to bring in Tony Battie to hold down the center position.
「The game clock ticked down to the final 58 seconds.」
The Pacers still led by two points and had possession of the ball.
With the Cavaliers' starting center on the bench and Carlos Boozer's hot hand having gone cold, the team was in serious trouble.
Based on their performance in this game, the Cavaliers had already earned respect. That they could push the Pacers this far was already a pleasant surprise.
But Su Xi was determined to win.
His willpower was unshakable.
