The CCTV Sports Channel broadcast went into an unprecedented frenzy just before the end of the game!
CCTV's commentary was typically known for being conservative and, frankly, full of nonsense. Conservative, because as a national media outlet, they couldn't be too flamboyant or overly excited. The nonsense stemmed from the early days when many commentators were general broadcasters with little actual knowledge of the sports, which led to international laughingstocks like the claim that one team had "five Jordans."
But this morning, Beijing time, the CCTV commentators let loose like never before. They were still a bit restrained in the first half, but as Su Xi drew closer and closer to a quadruple-double, their shouts grew louder and louder.
When Su Xi sank a three-pointer in the final moments of the game.
