191: Chapter 191 A Frenzy Amidst the Ruins! The Shattering of a Dynasty!

Kobe's roar was like a thunderclap, splitting the frozen air of the Chesapeake Energy Arena!

But the young man in his arms didn't respond at all.

Lin Feng's body was as limp as a pile of mud.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

His chest showed only the faintest, almost imperceptible rise and fall.

After a suffocating silence that lasted more than ten seconds, the arena...

...finally erupted with two completely different sounds!

"F**K!!!"

"Bullshit! This is total bullshit!"

Nearly twenty thousand Thunder fans finally reacted from the immense shock and pain of being defeated by a buzzer-beater!

They frantically threw everything they could hold toward the court!

Water bottles!

Popcorn buckets!

Thundersticks!

Countless items fell onto the court like raindrops!

Vicious curses converged into a black wave of sound filled with hatred!

They wished they could completely swallow the few Purple and Gold figures on the court!

In stark contrast...

...was the volcanic eruption of revelry on the Lakers' bench!

"We won!"

"We actually won!"

Howard was the first to charge out from the bench like a silverback!

He rushed to Kobe's side and pulled both Kobe and Lin Feng into a tight bear hug!

"We f**king won!"

Nick Young, Gasol, Nash... every Lakers player, every member of the coaching staff, every staff member!

They all rushed onto the court like they were crazy!

They surrounded the three of them in layers, right in the center!

Forming a mountain of Purple and Gold revelry!

"Lin! You bastard! You're too damn good!"

"My God! We really did it! We completed the comeback against the Thunder!"

"The NBA Finals! Here we come!"

The players roared and howled frantically!

Venting the unparalleled excitement and ecstasy brought by this epic comeback in the most primal way!

The arena security and the Team Doctor finally rushed up as well!

It took them a tremendous effort to squeeze a path through the players who had completely lost control!

"Quick! Lay him flat!"

"His heart rate is very fast! It's a faint from exhaustion!"

The Team Doctor's voice was filled with anxiety!

Only then did the players calm down.

They hurriedly took Lin Feng from Kobe's arms.

They carefully placed him on the stretcher that had already been prepared.

The scene was a mess.

The director's camera no longer focused on the victor being carried away on the stretcher.

Instead, it slowly panned to the other side of the court.

To the figure of the loser.

Kevin Durant.

He just knelt there on the cold floor.

Using his sweat-soaked No. 35 jersey to tightly cover his head.

His shoulders were shaking violently and uncontrollably.

No one knew what kind of face, filled with pain and despair, lay beneath that jersey.

And not far from him...

Russell Westbrook stood like a statue whose soul had been snatched away.

With his hands on his hips, he stared blankly at the piercing scoreboard above the arena.

Those bright red numbers were like the sharpest, poisoned dagger!

Stabbing ruthlessly into his heart!

The prototype of a dynasty.

A great era that should have belonged to the two of them.

At this moment...

With Lin Feng's unreasonable, heaven-defying buzzer-beater...

...it had completely shattered!

Amidst the flying debris, the deafening boos, and the frantic cheers of the few Lakers fans...

Lin Feng was carried onto the stretcher.

Surrounded by the whole team, he slowly disappeared at the end of the player tunnel... into the Lakers' locker room.

The atmosphere there was completely different from the hatred and despair outside!

This was an ocean of joy!

"Pop!"

"Pop!"

Bottle after bottle of champagne was opened!

Golden liquid splashed everywhere!

The players were like a group of children who had won the whole world!

They chased and played with each other, spraying champagne on every teammate!

The entire locker room was filled with the sweet, alcoholic scent of victory!

But...

Kobe did not participate in this revelry.

He just sat quietly to the side.

His gaze remained fixed on the simple, makeshift bed.

Lin Feng was lying on it.

An IV needle was inserted into his arm.

Cold liquid was slowly flowing into his overextended body.

The Team Doctor was performing basic checks on him.

"His heart rate is stabilizing."

"His blood pressure is back to normal too."

"It's just mental exhaustion and overexertion. He'll be fine after some rest."

Hearing the Team Doctor's words, the tension in Kobe's facial features finally relaxed ever so slightly.

After an unknown amount of time...

Lin Feng's long eyelashes fluttered gently.

He slowly opened his eyes.

What greeted him was that familiar, well-defined black face.

"Ko... Kobe..."

His voice was hoarse and weak.

Kobe looked at him, a rare, heartfelt smile appearing on his face.

He reached out and patted Lin Feng's cheek heavily yet with a hint of tenderness.

"Good job, kid."

"Now, get some good rest."

Kobe's eyes became sharp and determined again.

"We still have one last battle."

...The post-game press conference.

Lin Feng was absent due to his physical condition.

Kobe sat at the press conference alone, representing the entire team.

He faced the countless, frantically flashing, blinding lights.

His face carried a calmness and composure belonging to a king.

"This victory doesn't belong to me."

"It belongs to Lin, to Pau, to Dwight, and to every one of us."

"We are a team."

"Lin? He's a natural-born winner. He put on a performance that will go down in history. I'm proud of him."

Kobe gave all the praise to the young man currently lying on the sickbed.

And to this team that had crawled out of hell with him.

His kingly demeanor was on full display.

While the press conference was ongoing...

Sports media across the world went completely insane because of this miraculous game!
