Chapter 309 - 309 132 Ice Blue Vote for monthly tickets!
309: 132: Ice Blue (Vote for monthly tickets!) 309: 132: Ice Blue (Vote for monthly tickets!) Yes, this combination always surprises people.
If it hadn’t been for Roger and Shaq, you might never see someone playing basketball just fine and suddenly start helping a teammate undress on the court.
“Damn it, I told you to change your jersey back!”
“Shut up, Roger.
Come on, strip!
You weren’t fumbling like this when you undid Snow White’s bra with one hand!”
“Stop bringing up Snow White, I’m speeding up already!”
“Faster, even faster!”
Bill Walton watched Roger and Shaq in their slapstick struggle, wiping his sweat while laughing.
What was supposed to be a fiery tale had turned into a comedy by their hands.
Nobody knew what Roger and Shaq were doing, but one thing was certain: the Bulls wouldn’t let this chance to take the lead again slip by.
Michael Jordan passed the ball to Pippen, and the moment Pippen received the ball, Roger, who had just helped Shaq free a hand from his jersey, immediately ran towards Pippen.
Pippen broke with the ball just as Roger was about to close in.
Roger, going full throttle, found it hard to immediately adjust his center of gravity to chase in the opposite direction.
Pippen charged into the paint and jumped for the slam.
But O’Neal timely raised his arms and got back under the basket.
Though unable to jump, his massive frame still posed an obstacle between Pippen and the basket.
Pippen collided hard into Shaq.
The weight of Shaq brought Pippen’s forward momentum to an abrupt halt.
At this point, it was impossible for Pippen to pull off a dunk over Shaq, so in mid-air, he had no choice but to change his dunk into a lob towards the basket.
However, not everyone possesses Jordan’s ability to freely change their body position in mid-air to score, and Pippen’s improvised shot amidst the intense confrontation didn’t go in.
Roger and Shaq had once again jointly quashed the Bulls’ offense!
Jordan cursed under his breath.
He had passed the ball quite timely, yet he hadn’t expected that Roger and Shaq could still manage a defense under those circumstances!
O’Neal was truly diligent in protecting behind Roger today.
By then, Pippen had missed his shot, but Roger, who was prepared to challenge Pippen, couldn’t brake in mid-air and collided with Pippen and Shaq.
The second impact finally overwhelmed Shaq, who fell backward.
And so Roger, Pippen, and O’Neal all tumbled to the ground.
Roger at the top, with Pippen in the middle and Shaq at the bottom.
Roger gave Pippen’s butt a slap, “Not so easy, Scott.”
Then he quickly got up to join the offense.
O’Neal also slapped Pippen’s butt, “Don’t even think about scoring, Scott.”
Then he pushed Pippen, who was on top of him, off and quickly stood up to join the offense too.
A disheveled Pippen lay on the floor, almost in tears, never having imagined that one day he’d be toyed with by two men at the same time!
Dear Dan, I am tainted!
This defensive play further boosted the morale of the Magic Team.
Under the lead of Roger and Shaq, they were getting closer and closer to defeating the Bulls for the second time this season.
The viewership for the game climbed higher, and Bill Walton gripped his fists even tighter.
Why are people so excited?
Because it’s not just about winning a regular-season game.
If you truly understand what the ’96 Bulls represent, you’d know why this victory is so exceptional.
The season’s longest streak of 18 wins, a terrifying record of 65 wins to 8 losses to date.
The league’s number one in offensive efficiency, the league’s number one in defensive efficiency.
The briefly returned Magic said, “This Bulls’ offense is as good as the Lakers’ from the ’80s.”
Hubie Brown, who started coaching professional basketball in 1972 and won the ABA championship in ’75, was definite: “In my many decades of a basketball career, they are the strongest defensive team I ever saw.”
Chuck Daly felt, “This Bulls team is even stronger than the three-peat Bulls of ’91-’93.”
High school prodigy Kevin Garnett got a psychological shadow directly from the Bulls: “I unintentionally angered Michael, and in the following nearly a quarter, Timberwolves could only do suicides, and I couldn’t even touch the ball once.
That quarter, we got beaten 25 to 0; it was the most embarrassing moment of my life.”
This is the Bulls of this season, trampling all teams willfully, their dominance unprecedented in history.
Indeed, they sometimes lose, but their revenge is often even fiercer.
They were defeated by the SuperSonics, then beat them by 26 points the next time they met.
They lost to the Denver Nuggets, then slaughtered the Nuggets by 21 points in their next encounter.
They were beaten by the Heat, but won by a total of 26 points in the two subsequent meetings.
Similar stories repeated over and over this season.
They’re like the ruthless Spartan army, leaving rivers of blood wherever they go, writing epics about conquest with the blood of their enemies.
And there’s one more terrifying record: so far this season, the Bulls have remained undefeated at home.
Not a single team has walked away from the United Center with a victory.
What awaited them in Chicago was never roses, only death.
The regular season was nearly over, and Chicago fans had yet to taste defeat at home.
Every night, every Chicago fan in the United Center could enjoy a gloriously decisive victory.
From last November till April this year, without exception.
Such regular-season performance is simply unbelievable.
