That is Han DeJun, also known as Chinese Shaq, destroying Stephon Marbury Tuesday night during Game 4 of the Chinese Basketball Association finals. But it was Starbury getting the last laugh by dropping 36, including two treys in the final minute, as Beijing beat Liaoning 111-110 and tied the series at 2-2.
Beijing was three points behind with the last minute to go, when Marbury buried in a fastbreak three-point jump shot to tie the score 108-108. Liaoning moved ahead after Han Dejun made a free throw, but Marbury succeeded in laying up the ball and drawing a foul at the same time.
Marbury made the free throw on the line to put Beijing up by two points. Han had a chance to tie the game with 1.7 seconds left, when he got two free-throw opportunities. However, the Liaoning center who got 24 points and 10 rebounds through the game missed the second, seeing Beijing take the victory on home court.
So have all the fun you want with Chinese Shaq destroying Star. We have a tied series and Marbury now has the momentum. How great has Marbury been for Beijing since arriving in 2011? This is the franchises third finals appearance in four years; Marbury has two rings and is two wins from another.
You can dunk on Marbury in the finals, but there’s a good chance he’s going to be wearing the ring when it’s all said and done.
