(Requesting Monthly Tickets!)_6 Roger delivered an assist to O’Neal, and of course, there was still no celebration, not even an exchange of glances.

They simply fell back quickly on defense, then once again stood by Ewing and Jordan, fully focused.

But now, no one would think this duo could be easily defeated!

Jordan gritted his teeth; after taking the ball up, he continued to call for a pick-and-roll.

The game entered a climax in the third quarter, with frequent close combat between the combinations of Roger-O’Neal and Jordan-Ewing!

Jordan drove hard off the screen, and O’Neal aggressively hedged out.

With Shaq’s athletic ability, he wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t be able to defend the return.

O’Neal smothered Jordan without giving him a chance to shoot, causing Jordan to hesitate and giving Roger the chance to catch up on defense.

Seeing Roger get back into position, O’Neal also prepared to return to Ewing’s side—everything was almost exactly the same as before.

The only difference was that this time Jordan didn’t pass, but instead prepared to shoot directly with both hands on the ball.

The instant O’Neal and Roger switched defense, was one of the few gaps Jordan could capitalize on!

But just as Jordan leapt and raised the ball, a large hand clamped down hard on it.

Roger, timing it perfectly, stole the ball, causing Michael Jordan, who was already in the air, to make a mistake!

People were still overlooking Roger’s defensive impact, which was foolish.

His defensive enthusiasm and his knack for steals could no longer be compared to that high school kid who could even be picked on by Maxwell.

After stealing the ball, Roger immediately dashed forward, snatching the ball that had been knocked away.

He sprinted ahead, and upon stepping over the Knicks’ three-point line, he glanced back, just in time to make eye contact with the pursuing Jordan.

Jordan’s athletic ability had declined, but was still top-tier in the league.

He closely followed Roger, ready to leap at any moment.

Right now, Roger was exactly within Jordan’s shot-blocking range.

The whole crowd was very curious—how would Roger handle this offensive play?

However, what Roger did next left everyone dumbfounded.

Nobody expected him to make such a choice.

As soon as Roger crossed the three-point line, he threw the ball directly at the backboard!

Jordan was furious.

What was this, a self-alley-oop?

Madison Square Garden wasn’t a venue for slam dunk performances!

This was impossible!

Jordan jumped with all his might, only to find that he couldn’t touch the ball at all.

The throw by Roger was too high, and after the bounce, it was entirely impossible to catch.

Was it a mistake?

Just as a smug look appeared on Jordan’s face, he saw Roger, without looking back, unfold his arms.

Was this…

an early celebration for a scored basket?

Had he lost his mind?

Before Jordan even landed, he felt a huge shadow cover the key area, sending a chill down the back of the basketball god.

“Damn, this must be a joke on me!” realized Jordan, cursing inwardly, followed by a massive surge of power and a loud noise!

“Boom!”

O’Neal caught Roger’s off-the-backboard pass in midair, and then slammed down over Jordan, knocking him to the ground!

Roger’s glance back during the fast break wasn’t to see if Jordan had caught up, but to check if Shaq had kept up!

Therefore, upon confirming that Shaq was right behind him, Roger threw the ball against the backboard and spread his arms wide to celebrate the basket.

He knew there was never any suspense.

Yes, he despised that childish giant baby.

But on the court, he trusted the guy immensely!

Watching Jordan lying on the ground, the fans at Madison Square Garden were stunned.

They had treated this game as a celebration, but what now?

They saw Roger’s premature celebrations of coolness, and witnessed Shaq’s domineering slam over Jordan.

Then, they also saw the iconic scene of Jordan being knocked down, writhing in pain, and rolling his eyes.

That’s right, Roger did what he said he would.

He’s always liked making Michael Jordan roll his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Magic stood up and punched the air:

“Yes, that’s the truth and Shaq!

In a team, conflicts will always occur.

You know, I’ve always found it strange that the media always think you need to love each other to win championships.

Indeed, that’s the case with most teams.

But with Roger and Shaq, it’s not a requirement.”

You know why?

Because they will be the most talked about, the most controversial, and also the strongest duo in history!

The strongest people cannot be easily restricted!

Their individual abilities are enough for them to dominate the games without even talking to each other!

This is Big Aristotle and Big Plato, their dominance is terrifying!

Without a doubt, they’ve utterly shattered all illusions of the Knicks fans!

With only a 3-point difference, how much longer can the Knicks hold on!?”

No communication, no celebration.

While the whole world cheered for the series of collaborative plays just made by Roger and Shaq, the involved parties were merely quick to retreat, returning to their own half of the court.

Then, one after the other, they stood with their hands on their waists, looking towards Ewing, who was helping Jordan to his feet.

This was their signature image!

Their oppressiveness hadn’t diminished one bit!

The delusional hopes of New York fans were shattered, and so were Michael Jordan’s.

In the past few rounds, Ewing and Jordan had been in dire straits.

Want to defeat the strongest duo in history?

It’s not that the Knicks had no chance, but they had to endure a brutal competition that would leave them bruised and bloodied!

Now, the atmosphere at Madison Square Garden had completely changed.

The Magic players were no longer worried.

The New York fans were no longer arrogant.

Even Spike Lee sat back down properly, muttering dissatisfied, “Damn, who was yelling at Roger just now?

Are they sick?!

Don’t they know you can’t upset the Truth?”

The surrounding fans all looked at him with disdain.

A familiar oppressiveness loomed over Madison Square Garden.

This was the first time since Jordan joined the Knicks that New York fans felt what oppression was.

As the Knicks approached with the ball again, O’Neal and Roger synchronously ended their hands-on-waists stance, spread their arms, and glared ahead.

This actually made the Knicks players somewhat intimidated!

Yes, sometimes basketball isn’t that complicated.
