Chapter 60: Not-So-Smart Basketball

The Celtics called a timeout.

After the timeout, both teams made widespread substitutions.

Hansen was substituted out at this time as well.

He wasn't surprised at all about being "subbed out after scoring 7 points in a row."

Tonight, he was likely to be tied with James.

In fact, if he hadn't burst out, his stat line would still be empty right now.

But precisely because he had erupted, Brown couldn't dare to keep him on the court.

By the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 21 to 23, with both sides evenly matched.

Then, as the second quarter began, James took to the court right away.

Well, that was... expected.

James had been contained by the Celtics in the first quarter with little to show in his stats—any chance to add to them had to come during the time against the reserves.

Otherwise, even if they won the game, the media wouldn't find an angle to hype.

James went up and dunked on Marquis Daniels to score.
