This was Roger’s 32nd point of the game.
Before the fourth quarter, Roger intentionally reduced his shooting frequency, giving more opportunities to O’Neal and Grant.
So now he had enough energy to continue to produce steadily.
Now, it was his moment to shatter the myth of Black Jesus!
But Jordan quickly scored again.
Harper had pushed Jordan to the right side of the court and with Grant’s double team closing in, Jordan clearly could have passed to a completely open Webber.
But he ignored the wide-open space and took a drift shot under the double team’s interference.
The basketball despairingly hit its mark again, bringing the difference back to three points.
Orlando fans didn’t know what else they could do to defend any better this time.
Jordan looked at Roger, who had scored 45 points by then, “See?
Black Jesus never makes a mistake!”
Jordan was confident he could destroy the Magic in the clutch, feeling hot right now.
However, Jordan wasn’t dominating the game because Roger was still able to respond to him.
This round, Pippen managed to stop Roger’s pick and roll drive for the first time.
Forced to back down with the ball, Roger scored with a turnaround bank shot from a back-to-basket position.
“Bang!
Swish!”
The sweet sounds almost blew the roof off the Orlando Arena.
Roger held up five fingers, “You’re about to lose to me five times in a row, Michael.
Jesus wouldn’t lose that many times to the same person.”
Jordan was provoked by the words.
Now, the whole world knew that an angered Jordan would definitely take another shot.
So this round, even Roger left Pippen to double-team the breaking Jordan.
Jordan’s shot hit iron under the interference of Harper, Roger, and McKey.
At the critical moment, Jordan missed first!
For the Bulls, the offense was almost a one-shot deal because O’Neal and Grant would secure all the rebounds.
And this time, too, O’Neal firmly grabbed the rebound.
After Harper brought the ball past half court, he immediately passed to Roger, who didn’t even wait for a pick and roll this time; the instant he caught the ball, he broke towards Pippen’s left side, wanting to catch him by surprise.
But Pippen was still too fast, he clogged up Roger’s path in no time.
Roger had to use his signature move, a spin to his right, followed by a direct shot.
But as Roger prepared to shoot in mid-air, he saw Jordan closing in as well.
Still, Roger kept his eyes dead set on the hoop, releasing the basketball gently from his fingertips.
Pippen and Jordan’s arms loomed in the air, both defending Roger at once!
The basketball hit the front of the rim, and Roger lost his balance upon landing, tumbling to the floor.
O’Neal and Webber both leapt to fight for the rebound.
But after jumping, both of them pulled their hands back because the basketball hadn’t left the vicinity of the rim yet; touching it would be goaltending.
As O’Neal and Webber withdrew their hands, the basketball swished into the net!
Roger, lying on the ground, felt the floor shake.
“Another answering shot, Roger has been responding to Michael at critical moments, something nobody else can do!”
And he did it with Scott and Michael defending him, Roger’s mid-range shot still hit its target, definitely one of the most classic moments in NBA playoff history!
Incredible shooting touch, unbelievable basket!
That shot put the Magic ahead by 7 points with just 1 minute and 06 seconds left!” exclaimed NBC commentator Steve Jones, thrilled beyond words.
Time and again responding to Jordan, even scoring with Jordan and Pippen defending him simultaneously.
This was the moment for a star to shine!
Roger was almost lifted off the ground directly by O’Neal, “Pierce his myth, great Plato!”
Phil Jackson called a timeout, and Roger continued to hold up five fingers: “5 wins, 0 losses Michael, 5 wins, 0 losses!”
Michael Jordan exerted all his strength, but there was still the danger of falling off the cliff.
That young number 14 was surprisingly tough.
This time during the timeout, Phil Jackson yelled at Jordan, “Do you still remember the 1991 Finals Game 5, how we finished off the Lakers to take our first championship?
Whoever’s open, find him!”
Jordan didn’t say a word; he certainly remembered how they had won in ’91.
In the final 4 minutes of Game 5, the Lakers double-teamed Jordan, he passed the ball, and then John Paxson scored 10 points by himself, hitting one open jumper after another.
Not only that, but in the ’93 Finals Game 6, John Paxson’s three-pointer also helped the Bulls clinch their third crown.
He was a prime example of an underdog changing history.
The beginning and the end of the Bulls Dynasty were closely related to John Paxson.
But the key point was, Jordan didn’t trust Nick Anderson; he wasn’t the kind of big-hearted clutch player like John Paxson.
This guy’s hands were shaking so much in the fourth quarter that he couldn’t even speak clearly.
But Jordan had already started to miss his shots, he didn’t know if he could continue to hit them under the pressure.
Roger’s trash talk made Jordan overthink.
He couldn’t lose; he couldn’t afford the consequences of another miss.
To pass or not to pass?
Jordan fell into deep thought.
Even gods have troubles.
The game resumed, and Roger continued to challenge Jordan’s competitive spirit: “5 wins, 0 losses, almost there, Michael!”
Jordan was still struggling; he couldn’t just let Roger defeat him at the critical moment, but the Magic Team would definitely double-team him.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of taking responsibility; he just didn’t want to lose, and he had to find the best solution to win.
Jordan received the ball, drove in, and sure enough, encountered a double team at the free-throw line.
In fact, Jordan was still hesitating until the very last moment.
He had already made the motion to shoot, but ultimately, he passed the ball out.
But the target was not Anderson, it was Pippen.
Because Roger also left Pippen to join Harper and McKey in tripling Jordan.
However, this decision doomed the game.
Pippen thought Jordan was going to pass to Anderson, so the moment he leapt, he rushed into the paint ready to grab the rebound.
As a result, the ball suddenly flew towards Pippen, catching him off guard.
Pippen reached out, the ball brushed past his fingertips, and flew out of bounds.
The world was shocked; when Roger kept responding to Jordan at the critical moments, Jordan made an inconceivably bad pass at the crucial moment!
He failed to create greatness, and even lost very badly!
Up in the stands, Kobe shrugged: “What did I say?
Should reduce the number of passes.
That’s what Roger does at crucial moments, so he’s about to win.
I’ve already grasped the truth of basketball.”
This mistake doomed the Bulls, crushing their morale.
Roger seized the opportunity and on the next offensive, broke through with a lay-up, extending the lead to 9 points!
The infallible Jordan, at the crucial moment, missed, made mistakes.
Mere mortal Roger, on the other hand, delivered a nearly perfect performance at the critical moment.
The myth of the unbeatable Black Jesus in the playoffs was completely shattered, and Michael Jordan’s divine aura suffered a severe blow.
Because gods do not make mistakes, and Jordan’s baffling error at the end told the world that he was also human.
A human that could be defeated.
After scoring, Roger smiled at Jordan: “5 wins, 0 losses; the number in front will continue to grow, the number behind will always be zero.
I know a lot of people support you, Michael, but you must have heard a saying, ‘The truth is always on the side of the few.'”
That was a quote from Plato.
