So as soon as Roger reached just outside the three-point line, he suddenly took a three-point shot!
Lenny Wilkens felt worse than if he had eaten a fly, although he had worked with Roger for a year, he still couldn’t stand Roger’s risky three-point choices.
But when the ball swished through the net, Lenny Wilkens suddenly felt that flies might not be so bad to eat after all.
During warm-ups today, Roger felt his three-point touch was good, so he was very decisive in his shots.
11 to 0, the fans in Salt Lake City thought the start was bad enough, but Roger made it even worse!
Finally, Stockton’s breakthrough and alley-oop pass to Mutombo broke the scoring drought for the Jazz.
However, this did not interrupt the Hawks’ momentum.
A possession later, Roger’s drive drew a double team, and he passed the ball to Stevie Smith, who immediately nailed a three-pointer.
14 to 2!
The Jazz quickly retaliated, but Bryon Russell’s mid-range shot missed under Pippen’s tight defense.
In fact, the Jazz’s offense had been quite average in the last game.
The second-chance points became their shield of shame.
But tonight, Big Ben acted like a relentless Gold Club VIP, completely tearing away their shield of shame.
“Ben Wallace once again firmly secured the rebound, while Karl Malone was complaining to the referee, thinking that Big Ben’s positioning was a bit aggressive.
Hey, this is simply the funniest moment in this year’s finals, Karl Malone complaining about someone else’s aggressive moves is like Russians complaining about the nuclear reserves of other countries being too large.”
Magic made an untimely joke, but that was exactly what it was.
Karl Malone seeking refuge from the referee, what could be more ironic than that?
After that, the Jazz did not gain any advantage in rebounding.
However, just protecting the backcourt rebounds is only the foundation to not lose the game.
To win, you need some other things.
And that was Roger’s responsibility now.
The Jazz’s defense was still tough to break, but today, in the possessions where the 24-second clock was almost up and Roger had to shoot, he always made some challenging three-pointers.
In the ninth minute of the first quarter, after the Jazz defended for 22 seconds, in the last 2 seconds Roger had to pull up directly despite Bryon Russell’s interference.
The shot went in, making the Jazz’s previously successful defense all in vain.
In the third minute of the second quarter, when Pippen penetrated, Hornacek knocked the ball away.
With only 3 seconds left on the shot clock, Pippen could only dive for it, sending the loose ball towards Roger.
Roger caught the ball, drifted outside the three-point line, and shot while Bryon Russell was not completely out of position, slightly disturbing the jump shot.
But the ball still went in, the Jazz’s defense failed once again!
“Another one!
Today, Roger keeps making these shots on the offensive end, those last-moment saves!
These are all desperate shots, but Roger collects them all!”
Roger’s bailout shots are different from ordinary ones, which are usually passive.
Passive bailout shots, even if they go in, don’t bring joy because the shooter knows they are just a scapegoat.
Anyone who has played the MyCareer mode in 2K knows that when your team is heavily guarded, and you yourself have no opportunity, you usually don’t want the ball.
You might even pass it away.
After all, missing the last shot could deduct from your rating and shooting percentage.
But what Roger did was to actively ask for the ball in the final moments when his team was heavily defended to take these low-value shots.
And Roger’s hot three-point touch today made him score all these challenging shots.
This shot not only kept the Hawks in the lead in terms of the score, but also dealt a significant blow to the morale of the Jazz Team.
Every round, the Jazz were seriously defending, but Roger’s unreasonable three-pointer could sweep all their efforts away.
The gap grew wider, in rounds where the Jazz defended poorly, the Hawks scored.
In rounds where the Jazz defended well, there was still a chance that Roger would land a miraculous three-pointer.
By the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, most of the fans in Salt Lake City had lost hope.
By then, the Jazz were behind by 22 points, and the game had essentially entered garbage time.
Most fans did not leave; they were still hoping for a miracle to happen.
If they could just defend this round, then score another three-pointer, the gap would be down to less than 20.
Well, doesn’t the gap seem not that big?
Maybe it’s not impossible to win?
Chinese fans deeply understood the Salt Lake City fans’ yearning for a miracle to happen.
In that round, Roger, trapped by a double team, passed the ball to Pippen, who was cutting in.
When Pippen got the ball, Karl Malone had already recovered under the basket, blocking his path to the hoop.
Pippen quickly passed the ball without looking to Stevie Smith.
Just as Stevie Smith was about to shoot, Stockton closed in with zero delay.
Stevie Smith didn’t pass the ball again but drove in with the ball and took a layup in the paint.
But Mount Mutombo wasn’t just going to watch someone score in the Jazz’s paint area.
With tremendous force, he sent the ball flying back; it was Mutombo’s fourth block of the day.
Karl Malone and Big Ben raced toward the uncontrollable basketball; the two muscular men collided like two massive trucks, sparking a confrontation.
Malone clenched his teeth, swinging his arm and elbowing.
Heeding the lesson from before, Malone didn’t strike Big Ben’s head but hit Big Ben’s ribs.
To Malone’s surprise, Big Ben didn’t step back at all.
Instead, Big Ben stealthily landed a punch right in Karl Malone’s liver area!
Karl Malone first felt a penetrating pain, then his entire body’s nerves began to fail him.
He fell to the floor stiff as the giant stone statues in the first episode of Ultraman!
Karl Malone wanted to deal with the person who stood out to help Roger, but this time, he himself tasted the agony of close contact with hell!
Big Ben also fell to the ground, poking the ball towards Roger.
At that moment, Roger was standing just a step beyond the center line since he had already started falling back after Stevie Smith was blocked.
Roger picked up the basketball, but there was hardly any time left for the attack.
Bryon Russell was waiting for Roger outside the three-point line, but Roger pointed at his feet and said, “Why are you standing so far away?”
Lenny Wilkens’s eyes widened, wait, surely that jerk wouldn’t…
“Roger takes the shot straight from the court logo…and hits!
OMG!
Logo Shot!
This is Roger’s seventh three-pointer of the game, ruthlessly snatching away all hope from the Jazz!
The gap has widened to 25 points.
We can say, the game is over!”
Wilkens at the sideline let out a deep sigh.
Well, coaching Roger, you really have to get used to considering flies a delicacy.
After scoring, Roger ignored a pile of teammates who wanted to celebrate with him, walked over to Karl Malone, who still hadn’t managed to stand up, and made the archery shooting motion three times.
Each arrow pierced his heart!
Cruel and merciless—this is the difference between war and a game!
“What can I say?
Roger is a ‘dumb champion’.
Any ‘smart person’ might pass the ball around in these last few seconds, but Roger chose to be a ‘dumb person’.
Well, he’s a powerfully dumb person!”
Lucky Magic said this in the ’90s.
Otherwise, people might think his life was going poorly.
