Roger received the ball, and Kobe had already closed in on him.

He made a triple threat move, then jumped and shot back.

Kobe was deceived by the fake triple threat move, and when he tried to obstruct, he was already half a step too late.

Watching Roger successfully shoot, Kobe felt a chill down his spine.

He had just given the most terrifying killer in the world a fleeting opportunity, and he would regret it.

“Swish!”

Roger let the jumping jazz blues achieve a brilliant sublimation!

“Three-pointer made!

Hawks lead by two!

In this decisive moment, Roger’s offense is completely on par with the Big3!

In this last possession, Roger couldn’t break through Kobe anymore, as Kobe almost defended him to death.

But he still responded in other ways!

Steve, it’s not Roger challenging God, it’s the Los Angeles Lakers who are the ones challenging God!”

Bill Walton glanced at Roger’s stats, he already had 55 points!

And followed by 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks in the pile of stats.

Few people can achieve so much in one game, so they cannot defeat the Lakers’ Big3.

But for Roger, this is not an issue at all!

Roger scored and laughed as he hugged Jeff Hornacek.

The two great players played an epic symphony at Philips Arena.

Six-year-old Abby Hornacek saw this scene and smiled, telling her mother beside her: “Mom, don’t you think they’d make a great family?”

Stacy Hornacek didn’t answer, silly child, unless you marry him in 12 years.

At this moment, the game has only 22 seconds left, the Hawks are leading by 2 points, and Phil Jackson used his last timeout.

Just four minutes ago, the Zen Master thought the fully formed Big3 would close the game.

Apparently, Roger’s toughness far exceeded his expectations.

Yes, with the Big3, the Lakers no longer shatter like last season.

They almost pushed the Hawks to the brink, but just almost.

Ultimately, it may not be the Atlanta Hawks who fall off the cliff.

Phil Jackson shook his head, not overthinking, and started laying out the final offensive strategy.

On the other side, the Hawks also subbed back their “defense lineup.” Lenny Wilkens decided to allow two points but prevent three pointers.

Although playing overtime could be life or death with their current stamina, it’s better than losing outright.

“We absolutely can’t give the Lakers any opportunity for a three-pointer; we must keep the victory on this Christmas night!”

As the do-or-die moment came, the hearts of Lakers fans in front of the TV were racing.

Jerry Buss was extremely tense as well.

The Lakers’ Big3 was born to crush the Hawks, and if they fail, all his money will have gone down the drain.

Of course, a loss in a regular-season game doesn’t equal losing the entire season.

However, if the Hawks can beat the Lakers once in the regular season, how can you guarantee they won’t do it four times in the playoffs?

As the game began, Pippen pursued and defended Kobe the entire time.

Since he had just rested for four minutes, Pippen regained some energy and tightly bit down on Kobe.

The Lakers almost failed to inbound the ball, finally relying on a backdoor cut that was as fast as a direction change for Grant Hill to shake off Roger and receive the pass.

Grant Hill, known for his composure at crucial moments, calmly dribbled and directed his teammates to position themselves.

Grant Hill wanted to pass to Kobe, but Pippen blocked all opportunities.

At this moment, O’Neal had just secured his position, so Hill opted for Plan B, tossing the ball inside.

Due to the close score, the Hawks did not risk fouling to send him to the free throw line.

If O’Neal made both free throws, the game would go into overtime, which would be very disadvantageous for the Hawks.

Robert Horry clamped down on Marion beyond the three-point line.

In regular time, Marion could give Horry some slack, but at crucial moments, you must treat Horry as a real superstar.

So Marion didn’t immediately go to help Big Ben double-team Shaq, giving O’Neal a chance to tie the game.

He was ready to post up hard, but Roger suddenly appeared in front of Shaq, swatting the ball out of his hands.

O’Neal quickly picked up the ball, still shaken, and passed it back to Grant Hill.

Grant Hill got a fleeting three-point chance, but he didn’t take it.

Knowing his three-pointer was still unstable, he didn’t risk it at such a critical time.

At this moment, Hill saw Kobe use a cut to shake off Pippen, running into an open space.

Without hesitation, he passed the ball.

However, as Hill released the ball, Roger, already back on defense, stretched out his arms, tipping the ball lightly and altering its trajectory!

Kobe, using an elbow to ward off Pippen and running out, still managed to catch the ball, just one step outside the three-point line.

With little time left, Kobe didn’t have the chance to adjust and shot immediately upon receiving the ball.

But again, it was Roger who, after disrupting the pass, rushed towards Kobe and finally managed to interfere with Kobe’s hurried long three-pointer.

After jumping to interfere and landing, Roger, exhausted, fell to the ground, sitting.

He kept his eyes on the basketball, feeling as if someone had pressed the slow-motion button.

Kobe also fixed his eyes on the ball; his rushed shot, disturbed, made him uncertain of its outcome.

As the ball flew halfway, people noticed a detail: Grant Hill covered his head prematurely.

Through the ball’s trajectory, he had already anticipated the end.

The ball hit the side of the rim, triggering the backboard’s buzzer.

The moment it touched the rim, the backboard lit up red.

Roger shattered the Big3’s siege with extreme offense, then in the final possession, defended each one of the Big3!

Game over, 109-108, the Atlanta Hawks won this epic battle at their home court!

The warrior, wielding a sword with one hand, cut off the heads of Los Angeles’ three great generals!

At the final whistle, Roger lay on the ground, staring at the ceiling of Philips Arena, and chuckling foolishly.

Pippen came over and extended a hand: “Get up and celebrate the victory, buddy.”

Roger shook his head: “Let me rest a bit, Scott.

Damn, I feel like I just had the toughest fight with some of the strongest players in the world; my body is falling apart.”

“Congratulations, you won.” Pippen blinked.

—————–

The great Lakers Big3 challenged the God of basketball, but unfortunately, they couldn’t make the God bleed.

— Bill Walton summarized the game.

Seeing Roger walk toward the Big3 holding the ball with one hand, I knew the Lakers couldn’t win.

At that moment, he was fearless, with only determination to move forward.

— Pippen reflected on the match’s result.

It is a regrettable, disappointing ending.

We have a lot to do next, but congratulations to Roger, he had another great night.

— Phil Jackson spread his hands helplessly.

The Lakers were strong; when they entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead, I was a bit scared, our throne seemed shaky.

At that time, I turned and looked at the bench, asking myself, who could I rely on?

Then Roger, with the ball, walked toward the Lakers players.

At that moment, I knew we would be saved.

We just needed to follow his steps, and we would be invincible.

I’m glad I can be a footnote on a great epic.

Yeah, just like Abby said, I’m suited to being a family with Roger, I’m increasingly trusting and relying on him.

— Jeff Hornacek smiled, commenting on Roger’s performance tonight.
