He was as calm as one could be.

Today, the Bulls were leading merely because Jordan was in good form in the first quarter.

However, strategically, the Bulls still hadn’t found a way to break through.

The Magic, on the other hand, were still dissecting the Bulls’ defense like a butcher.

Therefore, Roger believed the Bulls’ lead was only temporary.

Should Jordan’s performance fluctuate even slightly, the tide of the game would immediately turn.

You can’t expect a building about to collapse to stand up again just because its last steel frame is still holding.

Collapsing was just a matter of time.

Don’t rush, let the Chicagoans be excited for a moment.

Amid the cheers of Chicagoans, Jordan made the United Center erupt over and over again.

In the second quarter, after Jordan drifted over Harper and scored, he expanded the lead to 9 points—the largest lead the Bulls had in the series.

After making the basket, Jordan looked at Roger and pointed to his feet, “You want to win here?

You’ve got to knock me down completely!

This is my court, my court!”

At that moment, Michael Jordan truly felt he could win.

He had entered his role completely, the number 23 jersey seemingly resurrecting his past tyrannical gene.

He and the jersey were in complete harmony!

The game was tense until the last 3 minutes and 24 seconds of the fourth quarter.

That round, Roger dribbled beyond the three-point line, called for a screen, and comfortably scored 2 points following the screen almost methodically.

After this basket, the Magic Team evened the score again.

This was the fifth time in the game that the Magic Team had erased the Bulls’ lead.

Zen Master called a timeout, and Michael Jordan came off the court, gasping for breath.

Although the score was evened, the Chicago fans were still excited.

After all, this time, it was the Magic chasing the Bulls.

Everyone believed that Jordan, having scored 37 points, could keep the victory in Chicago that night.

After coming off, Jordan glared at Phil Jackson with his bloodshot eyes, “Don’t even think about subbing me out, don’t even mention it!”

At that moment, he was like a gambler going all-in, craving the cards in the sexy dealer’s hands.

For Jordan now, playing time was the cards dealt by Zen Master, and he had to use these “cards” to turn everything around.

Although Jordan hadn’t been subbed out from the start of the game, a real gambler would continue to go all-in even when chips are low.

Jordan felt he could win, not just this game, he even thought he could become the first player in history to overturn a 0-3 deficit.

As long as he could maintain this state, he was sure to win.

There were plenty of Chicago fans who saw it this way; Jordan had been miraculous all game, and now the Magic had only evened the score, that number 23 would definitely lead the team to win the game!

Watching Jordan’s performance tonight, Magic even exaggeratedly shed tears on national television and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief,

“This game… I can feel Michael’s emotions, that feeling.

You know, at times like this, you’re really fighting desperately, you bet your heart, your soul, you give everything you’ve got, just in pursuit of victory…

that feeling…

damn…

is absolutely wonderful…”

He choked up, unable to speak.

Magic’s reaction convinced fans all over the world that this was destined to be a great night.

Destined to be the night when number 23, Jordan, creates a classic story.

Old Elvin is already so moved, the Bulls can’t possibly lose, can they?

From the moment Jordan appeared at the United Center wearing number 23, the script was already written.

Jordan would bring the game back to Orlando from the brink of defeat, in the midst of Magic’s tearful emotions, amid all of Chicago’s anticipation, to deflate the arrogant Roger and O’Neal.

This was a night about pride and courage, two incredibly important things for a competitive sports athlete.

Just like AI later on, he only won a single game under the dominance of the OK duo.

Just a single game.

But why is he so loved by fans?

Because he proved he’s an unyielding fighter with pride and courage.

He can be defeated, but his dignity is inviolable.

Even when the entire West had succumbed to OK, he never bowed his head.

Some people lose but win respect, some win but lose respect, pride and courage distinguish these two types of athletes.

Now, Jordan was about to prove his pride and courage, prove he was not to be trampled upon.

Prove that the divinity of number 23 had not faded!

Inside the United Center, all fans spontaneously chanted MVP.

Jordan clenched his fists, “We’re close to victory, very close!”

The buzzing of the timeout buzzer made everyone’s blood surge, as if the movie was entering its final climax.

Number 23, ready to harvest the game!

Then, the team of big villains from Orlando appeared.

Now, the script should be, Jordan beats these villains severely in the last three minutes, venting all his past frustrations.

But as soon as it started, tonight’s script was slightly off-script.

The first attack after the timeout, the Magic Team once again sent three men to trap Jordan.

The moment Jordan received the ball, besides Harper, Roger and McKey were also rushing towards him.

Jordan had no chance to find a more suitable attacking position, and he had to forcibly shoot while facing Harper’s interference before the other two arrived.
