(Vote for monthly ticket!)_2 In the ’95 playoffs, John went 4 for 14 in the deciding Game 5, with 1 out of 6 from the three-point line.

In the ’96 Western Conference Finals, people blamed Karl for missing critical free throws in Game 7, but they overlooked how John was severely whipped by Gary Payton.

That round, John averaged 9.9 points with a shooting percentage of 39%.

This is John, the supposed king of clutch you all talk about, yet the reality is that he almost makes errors year after year.

As for Karl, he’s lucky because Charles is past his prime, because Reign Man went to the East, because David encountered injuries.

In the past, Karl was like someone who only appeared in the crew list after the movie was over; hardly worth mentioning.

Then suddenly, because of all sorts of good luck, he came to the forefront, became a top power forward, and even became the second-ranked person on the MVP list, which is ridiculous.

And these two dream of toppling the great Roger?

With what?

Continue to poison the food, hahaha.

Listen, the Utah Jazz might steal a game or two, but they won’t win the championship.

Because the team’s two leaders simply aren’t championship material.”

When saying this, the Baby-Faced Assassin didn’t look at any script.

He recited John’s blunder moments like he was reciting the commandments.

That’s how much he despised Stockton, how much he despised Karl Malone.

One of them snatched his Dream Team spot, while the other left that infamous “elbow of doom” on him.

He utterly hated this Utah duo.

But was that why he hyped up Roger?

Indeed, there was personal grudge involved, but Isaiah Thomas genuinely believed Roger was stronger.

The Baby-Faced Assassin felt that Roger was not just the savior of Atlanta, but also his own.

He embarrassed Michael Jordan, and now he was about to embarrass the Utah tandem.

And these were the people the Baby-Faced Assassin hated the most.

Finally, someone could exact revenge for him!

Karl Malone clenched his fists tightly, but considering the Baby-Faced Assassin’s grudge against the Jazz, he didn’t think the guy’s assessment was objective.

Any sane person knows, Jazz has the winning ticket.

But soon, another guest commentator on the show, Hubie Brown, also said something Karl Malone didn’t want to hear.

“First of all, I want to clarify that, without a doubt, both teams are great.

But what Roger has done over these five seasons makes you believe he will be the final winner.

Lenny will definitely make adjustments to the rebounding issue, which is the only problem for the Hawks.

Once that is addressed, Jazz’s advantage will become minuscule.”

Hubie Brown had coached the Hawks back in the 70s, that’s the only connection he has with the Hawks.

But no one believes he’d be biased towards Roger due to this, as in his years as a commentator, Hubie Brown has been known for his neutrality.

So his viewpoint is considerable.

Karl Malone was headachy with annoyance, unable to understand why so many people favored Roger.

Without Shaq’s help, what does that bastard have to brag about?

This season, the regular season records were the same, and the Jazz even swept the Hawks, yet MVP went to Roger.

Now, even though Jazz is leading, everyone still favors Roger.

Why!?

Karl Malone turned off the television, forcing himself to sleep as soon as possible, conserving his energy.

He intended to crush the Hawks’ wings with a 2-0 overall score and shut everyone’s mouths!

The Finals Game 2 continued at the Delta Center, and today, Karl Malone finally heard some support for himself.

Before the game, in the locker room television, they were showing an NBC interview with O’Neal.

“This isn’t a fairy tale; this is competitive sports.

The Utah Jazz is strong, a great team.

So why won’t Atlanta lose?

In fact, they will lose again tonight!”

However, O’Neal’s support did not improve Karl Malone’s mood, as Malone thought the idiot’s words did not count.

That fool of course hoped for Roger to lose, so he could keep boasting, “Look, I’m on the same level as Roger because we both can’t beat Jazz.”

No, such an idiot’s words are meaningless.

O’Neal’s comments did not cheer up Karl Malone; on the contrary, the preseason interview comments of Roger made him even angrier: “The biggest problem with the game today is that I didn’t eat well at noon, because I have to check for poison in everything I eat.”

This jest was like rubbing salt in the wound of the Jazz Team.

After making this comment, Roger continued his shooting warm-up.

Very few people noticed that Roger’s three-point shooting was very good today, Lenny Wilkens had already seen Roger making dozens of three-pointers from various positions.

Besides Roger, another focal point for the Hawks today was Ben Wallace.

When the analyst desk received the starting lineup, they were all shocked.

After losing Game 1, many had thought the Hawks might adjust their lineup.

But no one thought that it would be Ben Wallace who was promoted to the starting lineup.

So, Big Ben faced the camera for the first time before the game.

“Ben, the first start of your season is in the Finals, what’s your biggest hope?”

The question was easy to answer.

Get good stats.

Win the game.

Don’t let the coach down.

Any of these answers would be standard and safe.

But Big Ben’s answer was as surprising as his starting position itself.

“My biggest hope?

Hmm…

I haven’t thought that much, I just want to protect Roger.”
