This night, sports fans across the United States are discussing the Celtics, and the Celtics are all over the midnight news on major TV stations.
On the next day, even with other series games, the Celtics' 'popularity' remained undiminished.
The last time the Celtics were so dazzling and closely watched was when they turned the tide to win the championship in the 1987 playoffs against the Lakers.
That time it was because of Zhang Yang, and this time, it's still because of Zhang Yang...
Zhang Yang scored 65 points to brutally beat his old team, and the happiest were not the New York fans, but Los Angeles fans.
Los Angeles fans regret Zhang Yang didn't join the Lakers but aren't surprised.
If Zhang Yang had chosen to join the Lakers last summer, they would welcome him; if not, they thought he had a backbone and wouldn't betray them by joining their rivals.
