(Asking for monthly tickets!)_4 Scottie Pippen’s single-game score still didn’t exceed 20, while Roger and Shaq combined for 73 points.

Described by Magic as the strongest duo in history, they declared their comeback with a dominant victory.

After the game, Bulls center Luc Longley was very helpless, “If the two best players in a playoff series are both in Orlando, how can we win?”

This comment hit the nail on the head.

Usually, in a playoff series, the two best players are typically on two different teams, each the star of their respective teams.

But now, no one would think Scottie Pippen could surpass either Roger or O’Neal.

Because the first round of the series was a best-of-five format, a 2-0 lead was almost a death sentence for the Bulls.

Reinsdorf, furious to the point of exploding blood vessels, yelled at home, “Trade him, let him roll!”

He was referring to Scottie Pippen.

The Bulls had kept Pippen mainly with the hope that the team still needed a star to draw fans to the United Center to watch the games.

Rebuilding is a matter that starts with demolition.

The demolition has to be done carefully and progressively; you can’t rush it.

Otherwise, the fans won’t buy it, and accidents can easily happen.

But now, Pippen, this idiot, had ruined the team’s rebuilding plan and then embarrassed the team in the playoffs.

Reinsdorf had had enough; he no longer wanted to see Pippen wearing a Bulls jersey standing on the basketball court!

The third game wasn’t even necessary; with no fight left, Pippen scored only 15 points in the third match, and the Bulls ultimately suffered a humiliating loss by 47 points.

Roger and Shaq rested halfway through the third quarter, but Saru was on fire, and the Bulls were really giving him opportunities.

The Bulls didn’t want to play anymore, so their defense was absent-minded.

The more this happened, the more opportunities Saru got.

So, 131 to 84, the Chicago Bulls made history.

They tied with the 1986 Spurs to become the NBA playoff team with the second most points lost in a single game.

The first was the 1973 Lakers, which had Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain and annihilated the Warriors by 56 points.

The live commentator Steve Jones shook his head, “Considering the modern basketball environment, losing by 50 points in the playoffs is almost impossible to happen again.

So, we can say, no team will ever break the embarrassing record set by the Chicago Bulls again.

Roger and Shaq, have shamed the Chicago Bulls.”

Yes, most Bulls fans firmly believe that no team will ever break the record of losing by 47 points in a playoff game again; their team was completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

Roger was once the hope of Chicago, but now, he has become the nightmare of Chicago.

When Michael Jordan, Reinsdorf, and Jerry Krause decided to trade Roger, they definitely couldn’t imagine that such a brutal judgment awaited them.

3-0, and in the following two games, the Bulls lost by a combined 75 points.

This was the warning Roger and Shaq sent to the entire league.

Winter had come, and the Windy City no longer had the fragrance of roses, only the cold stillness of death.

Michael Jordan, watching the destruction of his once empire, had mixed feelings.

Was it really necessary to plan his own funeral in advance?

—————–

Why should I talk to him?

We go on the court, do our jobs, then clock out.

That’s enough.

Is it necessary to talk to him?

I have nothing good to say to him.

— Shaquille O’Neal, when asked if he had spoken to Roger upon his return, with Roger sitting right next to him.

I haven’t spoken to him for a long time, whatever, as long as the idiot doesn’t score in our own basket or eat donuts on the bench.

— Roger, sitting next to O’Neal, responding to the press.

Can the record of a 47-point playoff loss never be broken?

Ha, I can only say, don’t be too conservative, be bold, after all, each generation produces its own skilled people.

— Roger commented, laughing about the Bulls’ 47-point loss record.

I don’t know where my next stop is.

This season I gave my all, my time, my effort, my ankle…

my career…

Maybe I still have a chance to win a championship, maybe not.

But regardless, I’ll keep moving forward until the day I can’t play anymore.

— Scottie Pippen choked up during the press conference while discussing this season, feeling lost for the first time.

Looking on the bright side, at least the first round was a best-of-five, so the agony for Chicago people ended in the third game.

— Derek Harper discussing the Bulls’ disastrous loss.

The way the Chicago Bulls were eliminated was heartbreaking.

When the Magic had only Roger, we were already struggling.

But when Shaq came back, it turned into a massacre.

I think, this season, only the Knicks, Jazz and Houston big three could contend with the Magic.

Contend means they have the ability not to lose as badly, not that they can certainly win.

— Bulls coach Tim Floyd.

The mistakes the Chicago Bulls made in 1994 are still being paid for now.

The most regrettable thing Reinsdorf and Jerry Krause have done in their lives is choosing Michael over Roger.

But the miserable state of the Bulls serves only as a warning.

Michael should take this as a lesson.

If he also loses to the Magic, trust me, his plight will be even more terrifying.

Be prepared, Michael, the Magic is coming soon.

— “Sports Illustrated” columnist Andrew Sharp, almost predicting Michael Jordan’s fate.
