Champions Creed

Chapter 103 Chapter 102: Michael's new partner? The rocket can't fly! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Before the game started, the hottest player in the finals was Olajuwon.

But at the press conference after the game, almost everyone was talking about Roger.

We also lost to Roger in the finals last year, but the feeling was completely different. Last year, he just won by chance. But this year, he really controlled the game. It is hard to imagine that a player under 20 years old is dominating the finals. In any case, we must snatch the victory from such a genius. - Tomjanovich talked about Roger's 45 points.

We have to win both home games now. There is no way back. Otherwise, the situation is too dangerous. Roger hit me again, but this time, the wound is just a little deeper than before. I am not defeated yet. I wake up before dawn every day, eat seven dates and drink a gallon of water, and then pray for strength. So these difficulties can't be difficult for me, because I know I am full of strength. - Olajuwon on the home loss.

There is nothing much to say. Roger led us to another great victory. You all say he is a killer and a madman, but I think he is a natural leader. He is only 19 years old, but he is already leading us to victory. -- Magic coach Brian Hill praised Roger.

Yes, I did it on purpose. I let Hakeem score 41 points on purpose. I just wanted to tell that bastard that we can beat you no matter how many points you score. It doesn't matter. -- O'Neal commented on his defense today without any shame.

Roger himself was not too excited during the interview: "The great journey is not over yet, and now is not the time to talk about victory."

The next day, the whole world was buzzing with the news that Roger had killed Olajuwon.

Meanwhile, at a private golf club in suburban Hobe Sound, Florida, Sir Charles Barkley was showing off a swing that was uglier than O'Neal's free throws.

"Charles, stop insulting this sport. Your presence has lowered the level of our game." Jordan teased his friend while holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Shut up, Michael. I've found the feeling. Stop making noise!" After saying that, Sir Flying Pig swung his club and directly dug off a piece of grass.

Jordan covered his head. If he had to give Barkley a nickname on the golf course, he would undoubtedly be called the Big Lawnmower!
The gorilla at the side smiled, then looked at Jordan and talked about something else: "I heard that you started training the day after the season ended?"

Hearing this, Jordan's smile disappeared instantly.

This sentence reminded him that his season this year ended early.

Only losers will end their season early!

Jordan hasn't ended his season early in many years. He felt angry when he thought about the intense finals that had nothing to do with him.

Watching others play in the finals is such a humiliating feeling!

"Yes Patrick" Jordan nodded, "I have indeed been training for a while, so I came here to relax and unwind today. Interested in joining my training camp? I call it the Breakfast Club."

"Okay," Feizhu interrupted from a distance, "Okay, I'll join. What's good to eat in this breakfast club? Is there pizza?"

Jordan rolled his eyes at Barkley. There's a reason why that bastard couldn't win the championship!

"But, don't we still have to shoot a movie? What's it called? Yes, "Space Jam". How will you guarantee training then?" Ewing asked again.

Jordan, smoking a cigar, replied calmly: "I'll ask them to build me a basketball gym right on the set."

"what?"

"Nothing surprising, that was one of the conditions Warner promised me. I couldn't go eight weeks without playing!"

Ewing didn't say anything else. He just sighed in his heart that the gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between humans and gorillas!
After the game, the three old friends prepared to find some princesses to tell bedtime stories.

Before leaving the club, Jordan, who was changing his shoes, received a call.

When the voice from the other end of the phone came out, Jordan could hardly hide the expression of disgust on his face.

Looking at Jordan's expression, Klee and Ewing knew that the person calling must be Jerry Krause.

There was no one in this world that he hated so much.

"What's the matter?" Jordan was already getting impatient after saying the first sentence.

"I want to discuss something with you."

"Speak, preferably not more than a minute."

"I want to bring in a player."

"Oh my God, Jerry, are you crazy? Don't you hate it most when I interfere in your messy affairs that are destroying your team? When did you actually take the initiative to seek my advice?"

"When did it start? Since I started receiving razor blades every day! Roger is playing in the finals, and what about us? We can only go fishing! Damn it, I always come up empty-handed when I go fishing! Without Roger, we can't even play in the finals, and you still have the mood to make fun of me? Who made us not even play in the finals? Who made me trade away a player who scored 45 points in the finals? Shut up, Michael!"

"I'm going to die, you bastard!" Jordan was furious. He had finally gotten into a better mood and didn't want to recall those shitty things.

"Okay, okay, I'm not here to argue with you. The person I want to bring in is called Dennis Rodman."

"What!?"

"Yes, you are surprised, right? That's why I need to discuss this with you!"

Jerry Krause knows very well that the position the Bulls need to strengthen most is the power forward position.

He knew even more clearly that the Bulls could never lose again.

If we still can't return to the championship ranks next season, it will be all over.

For the championship, he has to try everything.

Even an extremely dangerous attempt like Dennis Rodman's.

"Also, we've gotten close to your old friend Joe Dumars," Jerry Krause continued.

"Old Joe?" Jordan's eyes lit up, and the disgust on his face faded a lot. "Detroit needs fresh blood now. Your old friend Doug Collins has just become the new general manager of the Pistons. Obviously, 33-year-old Joe is not in his plan. Grant Hill, Alan Houston, Lynch Hunter, the Pistons have too many young outside players, and they all need opportunities. The veterans need to make way.

Doug is interested in Chris and the draft pick, and Chris has already committed to re-signing wherever he is traded to. So, we are close to completing the deal.

If we can handle Joe, we can handle Dennis Rodman. Joe has worked with Dennis before, and I'm sure he can control that crazy guy."

"Well done Jerry, well done!" Jordan probably didn't believe that he would say this to Krause one day.

Jordan certainly knew that Dumars' peak was over, but his defensive experience and heart were still not comparable to Nick Anderson's.

As for Dennis Rodman.
No matter how he makes trouble off the court, as long as he can perform better defensively than Webber!

After Jordan hung up the phone, he clenched his fists.

Laozi's era will continue!
The Bulls are already thinking about their revival plan, while Roger still needs to focus on the opponent in front of him.

Game 4 of the finals continued at the Compaq Center. Drexler excitedly told reporters before the game: "I will not be knocked down by the same person twice. This is my hometown, and I will do my best to defend this land!"

Then he shot 13 of 4 shots and only scored 30 points with a 15% hit rate.

The most embarrassing thing about Drexler is that he is silent most of the time, and when he finally opens his mouth he is always slapped in the face.

But fortunately, the Houston Rockets have every member working as a team.

Today, the one who stepped up to replace Drexler was "Kiss of Death" Mario Elie.

The Magic are like playing whack-a-mole. No matter how they play, the Rockets will always have role players who can stand out.

He no longer just made key shots, but instead shot 11 of 9 shots overall, scoring 22 points with an outrageous efficiency comparable to that of a center.

The Magic still chose to defend alone, but that doesn't mean the other Rockets players have no chance at all.

Robert Horry set a lot of off-ball screens for Eli today, allowing him to run a lot of opportunities, and Eli seized all of them.

In addition, Olajuwon continued to be brave, scoring 37 points and 15 rebounds over O'Neal.

O'Neal scored 25 points in the double team, but his 6 turnovers were fatal. The Rockets' double team on O'Neal was too tight, and it was difficult for the Shark to score easily or even pass the ball safely.

The Rockets did everything right today, but they didn't do the most crucial thing - they allowed Roger to score 41 points!
The second consecutive game of 40+ in the finals!

Roger and O'Neal are still killing people today. Roger is responsible for killing people, and O'Neal is responsible for killing people.

When the Rockets left Dream and most of the defensive resources to O'Neal, Roger once again killed the game with his offense.

Tomjanovich doesn't believe that the long night is coming, but the light switch is in Roger's hand!
Roger's touch is still hot, like the sun that never goes out.

And his shooting percentage today is actually higher than that of Dream. Olajuwon's shooting percentage today is 55%, and Roger's is 56%!

Can't the guard outperform the center?

This theory no longer holds water.

103 to 99, the Magic beat the Rockets by 4 points. Coincidentally, Roger's personal score was just 4 points more than Dream.

Da Meng, who was considered invincible in attacking tough situations, was defeated by Roger again!

At the end of the game, Magic couldn't help screaming: "We all thought the Magic's greatest success would be to return to Orlando with a match point, but Roger wanted to return to Orlando directly with the championship!"

3 to 1, Roger's exaggerated performance put the Rockets into a desperate situation.

"The Rockets can't fly anymore!" Roger said this arrogantly after the game. This was an ultimatum to the Rockets.

Roger was very confident that he could end the series in Houston because even with a 3-1 lead, no one on the team let their guard down.

The tragedy of Charles Barkley happened not long ago. When the Suns led the Rockets 3-1, the fans in Phoenix must have felt that it was stable.

The results of it?
You just don't know what this gritty team can do in desperate situations.

If other teams were trailing 1-3, their mentality would definitely have collapsed.

But the Rockets won't.

The Magic are well aware that the 95 Houston Rockets are definitely one of the most difficult teams to beat in the entire NBA history.

But precisely because they know this, Roger is confident that he can win the championship in the fifth game!
Roger has to stab this final knife into the champion heart of Dream to get his revenge!
Injuried?

This time it'll give you a cardiac arrest!
-
Will the team bring in Dennis Rodman? He is clearly the perfect replacement for Horace Grant! - Chicago Sun-Times

The Detroit Pistons are listening to multiple offers for former Finals MVP Joe Dumars. - USA Today.

It must be admitted that Roger has already touched his first championship ring. Can you imagine? The world is about to welcome a 19-year-old Finals Most Valuable Player! If Roger succeeds, he will become the darling of the world, and his historical status will be subverted! - Sports Illustrated.

Michael Jordan may be more anxious than Hakeem O'Hara right now. If Roger wears this ring, Michael will become a loser among losers. ——The New York Times

The Houston Rockets this season have never been a team that gives in easily. In this year's playoffs, the Rockets have never lost a game in a life-and-death battle. So, there is still a game to play. - Houston Chronicle.

It's a familiar scenario again. Houston Rockets once again seem to have lost hope. This happened in the first and second rounds of the series, but they survived. If Houston Rockets really play an incredible performance in the life-or-death game again, can Roger respond with a third consecutive 40+ game? I don't know which of these two things is more likely to happen. I have no way of predicting the outcome of this life-or-death game. These two teams are too unconventional. - "Sports Center" program talking about the finals Game 5.
