796: 268: The Los Angeles Lakers are making the game boring (asking for monthly votes!)_2 796: 268: The Los Angeles Lakers are making the game boring (asking for monthly votes!)_2 As a comparison, in previous seasons, AI’s year with the fewest average turnovers was 3.1 times.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with AI’s pass; he just didn’t expect Pippen to react so quickly and intercept the passing lane so precisely.

The basketball was poked out of bounds by Pippen, flying towards the scorer’s table.

But he unhesitatingly dived to save the ball, even if it meant falling onto the table without hesitation.

The ball was retrieved by Pippen, and Roger, who followed up, caught it just right and easily finished a counterattack dunk.

The score difference was only 1 point!

Pippen quickly got back on his feet and returned to the court.

In the following crucial play, Pippen’s timely help defense blocked AI’s breakthrough route, forcing him to retreat beyond the three-point line for a long shot.

But the basketball eventually missed, and the chance to win the game fell into Roger’s hands.

Five seconds before the game ended, Roger received a pass from Pippen on the right side of the three-point line; as soon as he caught the ball, he accelerated to break past his former teammate Eric Snow.

Snow’s footwork was quick and his defense solid, always keeping to Roger’s side and front.

Meanwhile, George Lynch also caught up and, with Snow, formed a joint blockade, completely stopping Roger’s breakthrough path.

Upon reaching the edge of the penalty area, Roger lowered his center of gravity, dipped his shoulder, showing an intent to decisively attack the basket.

But in the next second, Roger suddenly stopped, then followed up with a spin-back, and directly took a jump shot!

This sudden stop threw George Lynch off balance; he tripped over Eric Snow’s leg and fell.

Snow stumbled after being tripped by Lynch, and although he didn’t fall, he still missed the best opportunity to contest the shot.

Roger miraculously shook off the defense of both players and steadily made the spin-back jump shot, sealing the game!

All the Hawks players on the court rushed to Roger to embrace him, with Pippen being the first to rush up.

Although Roger sealed the game, Pippen’s crucial three-pointer, a steal, and timely help defense created the conditions for Roger’s final blow.

Could Juwan Howard or Sprewell have done this?

In the last 0.4 seconds, AI’s ultra-long three-pointer missed, and the Hawks won the victory 86 to 85, achieving their fifth consecutive win.

At the same time, it handed the Philadelphia 76ers their first defeat of the season.

Iverson scored 41 points and provided 6 assists, Roger had 36 points, and Pippen achieved a season high with 21 points.

Steve Jones shook his head: “AI did everything he could, but unfortunately…

though AI should be thankful Roger took care of everything; at least they haven’t had to use Paul Pierce.”

As the game ended, AI tore off his headband and threw it to the ground with frustration.

Roger walked up to embrace AI, just like during last season’s playoffs.

“Fuck, fuck!” Iverson was very, very unhappy, feeling like he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

Just 1 point short, it’s the most painful way to lose.

Roger didn’t comfort AI because he knew that AI didn’t need comfort this season.

Steve Jones was right, Allen Iverson in the 00-01 season was one of the biggest players in the whole league.

After seeing off AI, Hannah interviewed Pippen and Roger on the court at the same time.

Undoubtedly, this was a victory for the duo.

When the rest of the team’s shots were stifled by defense, only Roger and Pippen had the ability to save the team, and they indeed did so.

“From trade rumors to now excelling in performance, Scott, what has happened during this time?”

Pippen put his arm around Roger’s shoulders: “What happens every season, we are moving towards greatness under Roger’s leadership.”

Larsa in the stands also thanked Roger for his leadership.

Since he brought Pippen’s state back, Larsa’s personal needs were also greatly satisfied.

“There’s still a month to go before the Christmas battle starts, Roger, do you have anything to say?”

“I’m looking forward to going to various communities to distribute Christmas gifts to children.”

“Uh…

about the Los Angeles Lakers?”

“Nothing much to say, you all know I won’t let anyone leave Philips Arena with a victory on Christmas night.”

Pippen’s excellent form delighted Steve Belkin.

This is the magical Roger magic.

As long as you don’t interfere with him, he can continuously bring victories, and continuously bring in money.

The team’s form has reached the first peak of the season, and during the cold winter ahead, Hawks fans’ hearts remained passionately hot.

Because after crushing the 76ers, the Hawks went on to win 8 consecutive games.

Increasing the winning streak to 13 games!

Not until December 13th, when facing the Minnesota Timberwolves back-to-back, did the Hawks lose their first game since Roger’s return.

In this battle, Kevin Garnett’s performance was deemed perfect; his mid-range shooting touch was excellent, scoring 34 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, providing 6 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks.

Anthony Peeler also exploded off the bench scoring 22 points, becoming the final straw that broke the Hawks.

Although they lost, the Hawks’ record of 17 wins and 5 losses had already moved them up to third in the East, only behind the 76ers and the Bucks.

Although the 76ers and Bucks ranked higher, the common point is that they both have been beaten by the Hawks.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers once again easily defeated the Sacramento Kings without a fight.

This match was played without Shaq due to injury, so only Kobe and Grant Hill cooperated.

Even so, the flashy Kings couldn’t stop the Lakers’ onslaught.

Kobe played like a mad Beast, dominating wherever he wanted in the Kings’ midst, scoring 43 points.
