(Vote for monthly tickets!)_2 Dale Davis, like a child who had made a mistake, buried his head deep and then repeated what he had said.

After listening, Bird was utterly disheartened.

He looked at the hulking figure of Dale Davis, only wanting to figure out one thing—why on earth did such idiots exist in this world?

Not to mention the moral issue of Dale Davis making fun of young fans, just provoking Roger was already the stupidest move in history!

In the 95-96 season, Pat Riley had stirred up trouble between Roger and O’Neal, and then Roger dealt him a historically significant “Battle of Hypocrisy.”

Does anyone remember what Riley looked like at that time?

He went from a pretty boy to a street beggar.

His dignity, his reputation, his image, were all utterly destroyed by Roger in that moment.

The reason?

Probably because Roger was truly angry.

The times when Roger got angry were actually not many.

Against Penny Hardaway, Kobe, or Stackhouse, Roger mostly wanted to shut them up, to prove that he was not even on the same level as them.

When facing Jordan?

Roger’s anger towards Jordan was one of professional rivalry.

Only when someone insulted Roger’s character beyond the realm of competition did he truly become angry.

For example, when Pat Riley called Roger hypocritical towards Shaq and questioned his character.

For example, when O’Neal backstabbed the team on a nationally broadcasted show, calling Roger a scavenging vulture.

Or, like Dale Davis saying Roger’s relationship with Andy was just for hype.

All these crossed beyond the spectrum of competition into pure personal attacks.

So, Roger was incredibly angry.

Facing such an opponent, he was not only aiming to win but also looking for every way to make you regret it.

Although Dale Davis was the spark that set it all off, when Roger hoped Reggie Miller would keep his teammate in check, Reggie Miller chose to refuse.

So now, Roger was going to pour all his fury onto Miller.

Bird turned to Dale Davis with a sigh, “You complete idiot!

Apologize after the game for what you’ve said!”

Then, Bird didn’t say much more.

In fact, he felt like the game plan could already be thrown away.

Because it was of no use at all.

Tonight, no one could save the Indiana Pacers.

The two most dangerous things in this world: staying in a Thai hotel and making Roger angry.

In the second quarter of the game, Roger continued to stick closely to Reggie Miller.

Although Miller scored 4 points in the second quarter, avoiding the embarrassment of being shut out again, his shooting percentage was still not high.

Moreover, it was evident that today Roger planned to empty his magazine at Reggie Miller, giving it all to him.

In the past, Reggie Miller and his teammates’ provocations could give the team an edge.

Their trash talk could anger the opponents, throw them off their game.

But today, it completely backfired.

By halftime, the Pacers were already 18 points behind.

Because Roger dedicated himself to defense, he didn’t score much today, only 12 points by the half.

But he held Reggie Miller to merely 4 points for the half.

It could be said, Miller was utterly humiliated tonight.

During the halftime break, Steve Jones joked, “Tonight’s definitely reminding Reggie of the times he played basketball with his sister Cheryl as a kid.

Many people are curious about how Cheryl used to dominate Reggie back in the day.

I think it’s probably something like what Roger is doing.”

In the locker room during the break, Pippen stared at Roger and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

Michael Jordan and Roger, these two people were practically two sides of the same existence.

Pippen understood Jordan, and Jordan’s attitude towards different games was also distinct.

That number 23’s approach to games probably had four levels.

The first level was the regular games, where Jordan would also take it easy, as it wasn’t possible to go all out in so many games a season.

Against less important opponents, Jordan would play very casually.

The second level was relatively important games, Jordan would take these games seriously, for instance against arch rivals or the Christmas battles.

In these games, Jordan would give his all.

The third level was the must-win games, where he would use his coldest composure coupled with his unbelievable talent to defeat you.

Above these levels, there was another level, which was the games with personal grudges.

In these games, Jordan would often be so agitated that he maintained extremely high concentration throughout the match, adopting a state of excitement and cruelty.

In these matches, Jordan might not necessarily be calm; he could have extreme offensive desires, or perhaps extreme defensive desires.

But the outcome was constant—his opponent would surely be miserably defeated.

Look at Roger, just look at him!

What’s the difference between him and Michael Jordan right now?

He’s destroying Reggie Miller with extreme defense, intent on humiliating that bastard.

Since the beginning of the new season’s training camp, Scottie Pippen had the feeling that “Why am I still with the Bulls?”

All this was because Roger and Jordan really shared too many similarities.

Today, that sense of similarity had reached its peak.

Yes, Michael Jordan had retired.

But did the league think that basketball had rid itself of a tyrant’s shadow?

No, the tyrant had merely switched faces.

All of a sudden, Pippen had a lot on his mind.

He was 32 years old, and at the age of 32, one ought to have a clear understanding of oneself.

And Pippen did see himself clearly.
