The ratings for this game were high because it was a direct dialogue between MVP candidates and another challenge to the Magic Team’s “no consecutive losses” record for the season.

The Jazz Team on the offense, Karl Malone went straight to the low post and backed Derrick McKey, asking for the ball.

There was no doubt that the focus for the Jazz today was to attack the inside.

In the last game, the Rockets’ three giants had achieved victory by crazily penetrating the inside line without Shaq.

Stockton lobbed the ball to Malone, the Magic Team immediately double-teamed, Karl Malone passed the ball back to Stockton, who then drove to a mid-range position and encountered Roger’s help defense.

Seeing this, Stockton immediately passed the ball to Hornacek.

Hornacek shot the ball upon receiving it, but was met not with a score, but with Roger’s timely interference!

Roger had just gone to help on Stockton not so fiercely; his main defensive target was still the Jazz’s second scoring option, Hornacek.

So the moment Stockton passed the ball, Roger immediately went back to him.

Under Roger’s interference, Hornacek’s three-pointer clanged off the rim.

Roger’s main defensive target today was to lock down Hornacek.

It was foreseeable that the Magic Team would struggle to stop Karl Malone tonight.

If that was the case, they were going to let Karl Malone fight a lonely battle.

Harper was responsible for entangling Stockton, and Roger was in charge of taking care of Hornacek.

Karl Malone?

His scoring might kill the game, but how would it compare to Roger’s firepower?

The Magic Team allowed Karl Malone to score but wanted to leave him without support.

After one round, the Utah Jazz’s strong defense led to Roger’s first offense missing the mark.

Today’s man-to-man assignment with Roger was Bryon Russell, famously known as the “last shot” backboard.

Roger moved to the left side, shot a drifting jumper, but Bryon Russell’s dark elbow and Mount Mutombo’s interference, who lunged out, caused Roger to lose his mark, and the basketball bounced off the right side of the rim.

That was the defense of the Jazz, they had a tower that could protect the area near the basket, and perimeter players accustomed to rough confrontations.

On Salt Lake City’s basketball court, there were no delicate dances, only brutal confrontations and intense brawls.

Their dirty elbows and iron knees on the defensive end nearly disgruntled every player in the league.

Seeing Roger’s miss, the live commentator expressed his opinion, “This is the impact of not having Shaq.

If Shaq were here, Mutombo definitely wouldn’t dare to step out of the area under the basket just now.

But now, Mutombo can appropriately expand his defensive area to limit Roger.”

The Jazz Team immediately counterattacked, John Stockton gestured for Malone to come up for a pick and roll after crossing half court, but this was just a feint.

On the other side, unnoticed, Hornacek had already used Mutombo’s screen without the ball to get to the outside of the three-point line.

While everyone’s attention was on Stockton and Malone, Stockton quickly passed the ball to Hornacek, who fired for the second time in a row.

But as soon as the basketball left his hands, Roger slapped it away vehemently!

Roger had been closely trailing Hornacek all along, showing great passion on the defensive end.

This time due to momentum, Roger, after blocking Hornacek’s shot, couldn’t stop midair and ended up knocking him down to the floor.

Looking at Hornacek lying on the ground, Roger coldly taunted, “Stop shooting, don’t keep embarrassing yourself in front of your daughter.

You can’t make a single shot.”

Hornacek had just begun to think of Roger as a good guy, but then Roger showed him another asshole side.

Which one is the real Roger?

Both are the real Roger.

When you’re not in competition with him, he can be a good guy.

But once there was competition, Roger was a bastard.

The Magic Team pushed back, and Roger received the ball and directly broke through Bryon Russell.

Karl Malone immediately came over to help defend, blocking Roger’s path to the basket.

Roger didn’t let the offense stall, he forcefully bounced the ball with one hand, passing it beneath Karl Malone to Derrick McKey.

McKey took advantage of Mutombo not having retreated in time to the hoop, and went for a one-handed slam dunk, scoring first!

Roger and McKey high-fived, then Roger returned to his vendetta against Hornacek, “Jeff, damn happy to see you again, hunting you is a pleasure because you can’t do shit!”

Hornacek gritted his teeth, today he was determined to teach a lesson…

To his own daughter!

Why did she have to like such a jerk?

If she brought home a boyfriend like that in the future, what then?

Roger had no quarrel with Hornacek, he just wanted to screw with the guy’s mindset.

Once a shooter’s mentality crumbled, so would his shooting percentage.

This round, Stockton and Malone finally executed the UCLA 1-4 screen and roll, but Malone’s mid-range shot didn’t go in.

Mutombo grabbed the rebound, ready to power up under the hoop.

But as he raised the basketball, Roger, who had chased in from the perimeter, swatted away Mount Mutombo’s layup.

It was Roger again, once again changing the direction of the game.

The first quarter had just started, and Roger had already contributed two blocks!

But the show wasn’t over.

Soon, Roger started his move from behind the three-point line, facing the aggressive defense of Bryon Russell, and pulled out his signature turnaround fadeaway jump shot.

Karl Malone and Mutombo firmly occupied the advantageous rebounding positions, but the basketball swished through the net!

Scoring, for Roger, might be the easiest and most effortless part of the game on the basketball court.

Two blocks, one quick pass, one score, even without Shaq, the current Roger could influence the game in every aspect with his abilities!

The fans in Salt Lake City coiled up in their seats like frightened hedgehogs, watching as Roger pumped his fists and bellowed angrily, “You don’t have an MVP with me here!”

The fans in Salt Lake City realized that Roger wouldn’t be dropping out of the MVP race.

Because with or without O’Neal, he was still an MVP level player!

What did O’Neal say during their argument before?

“I’ll be back, enjoy the MVP for now.”

That’s right, in Shaq’s view, if it wasn’t him, then it was Roger for MVP.

And if he wasn’t there, there was only one answer: the MVP went cheap to Roger.

Even though Roger was a bastard, O’Neal still couldn’t deny the fact that Roger was closer to MVP.

After all, the league’s rules never stated bastards couldn’t be MVPs.

On the contrary, most of the MVPs were bastards!

Shaq in the studio couldn’t help but interject, “Someone said he’s out of the MVP race?

No, losing me, Roger has just lost his biggest competitor.

So, it’s easier for him to get MVP now.

The others?

Ha, just watch.

Without Daddy Shaq, none of you can stop him.”

Guokas beside him smiled, Shaq’s words seemed to be boasting about himself, but in fact, they also acknowledged Roger’s abilities.

The Magician was right; no matter how big the conflict between these two, one thing wouldn’t change.

They never doubted each other’s abilities on the basketball court.

It seems the only ones capable of defeating these arrogant two, were each other.
