The “Atlanta Journal-Constitution” was right, the Hawks should at least win by 20 points.

Winning 20 points per game means 40 points over two games.

Just perfect.

The ball went in, and looking at Larry Hughes, whose soul seemed to have been drained, Roger finally showed a satisfied smile: “Alright Larry, now the reporters won’t have to talk about your second-round opponent.”

Lenny Wilkens watched Roger, who had completely silenced the Magic team, and felt confident about the upcoming playoffs.

Unfortunately for T-Mac, he became the sacrificial victim for Roger to regain his bloodthirsty state after a relatively relaxed regular season.

Those who stand in the way must bleed, and anyone who tries to stop him from establishing a dynasty will face this fate.

T-Mac was just unlucky to be the first.

In the fourth quarter, Roger didn’t shamelessly continue to play for more points.

Although he was just 7 points away from scoring 50 in the playoffs, a true king won’t care about such scavenged wealth.

Even without Roger on the court, the Hawks’ bench players continued to crush the Magic.

Michael Reed performed like an all-around guard during garbage time, seamlessly combining shooting and driving.

But since he was already the last player the Hawks could send out, no one would say he was padding his stats.

After all, even in garbage time, it’s impossible for the leading team to simply stand there and do nothing.

On the bench, Scottie Pippen looked at the increasingly ridiculous score on the big screen and remembered some unpleasant memories.

The 1997 playoffs, the year Michael Jordan left Chicago for New York.

Pippen, leading the team by himself, dragged the Bulls to the eighth seed in the East, only to face the strongest duo in Magic history.

Given the fierce rivalry, Scottie Pippen gave it his all in that game.

The result?

The final score was 131 to 84, and the Chicago Bulls made history.

They tied the record set by the Spurs in 1986, becoming the team with the second-worst single-game playoff loss in NBA history.

Scottie Pippen was mercilessly nailed to the pillar of shame by Roger.

That game was similar to today’s; Roger refused to relent even after widening the lead, determined to tear the opponent apart completely.

And the Magic now are worse off than the Bulls were back then.

127 to 76, as Roger relentlessly ravaged in the third quarter, and Michael Reed transformed into Roger during garbage time, the Atlanta Hawks created a 51-point massacre at home!

Tonight, the Magic surpassed the ’86 Spurs and the ’97 Bulls to become the team with the second-worst single-game playoff loss in NBA history!

The Hawks players celebrated wildly, while Pippen sat on the bench shaking his head.

Fortunately, he’s now on Roger’s side and never has to experience such pain again.

Has Roger changed?

Yes, he has changed a lot.

But in some ways, Roger hasn’t changed at all; he’s no different from 1997.

He’s become more merciful to his teammates.

Yet, he remains ruthless to his opponents.

And this nature of his may never change.

Never.

T-Mac and Larry Hughes prepared to walk into the player tunnel, only to see Roger waiting for them at the entrance.

Roger didn’t say anything; he simply clasped his hands together on his cheeks.

Goodnight, Tracy.

Goodnight, Larry.

Orlando fans in front of the TV stared at Roger, who celebrated victory in this unique way, with vacant expressions.

That number 14 once created greatness while wearing the ice-blue striped jersey for Orlando.

But now, he created the most humiliating disaster for the Magic.

This is a lesson: Never, ever let Roger go.

Because he is unique.

Because he is irreplaceable.

No matter where Steve Belkin is right now, he should understand this one thing—the Atlanta Hawks must never make the same mistake again.

—————–

Yes, I once said during the Magic vs.

Bulls series in 1997, considering the environment of modern basketball, losing by 50 points in the playoffs is almost impossible to happen again, so no team will break the embarrassing record set by the Chicago Bulls.

But now, you have all seen it, Roger broke the record he set himself and once again shattered my perception of modern basketball.

– Steve Jones from NBC commenting on the 51-point massacre.

It’s great to see Roger and the Hawks rejuvenated, even though the Hawks had an impressive 68-win regular season, remember, that wasn’t their best.

Tonight, the Hawks truly extended their claws.

Ladies and gentlemen, the playoffs have begun!

– Hannah Storm concluded after the interview.

Losing by 56 points in the playoffs?

Breaking that record is indeed very difficult.

You see, even with Larry’s complete inability to defend against me, the Magic only lost by 51 points.

But I believe that record will eventually be broken, perhaps within ten years.

Me?

No, no, no, I’ve always advocated for knowing when to stop.

I won’t be the one to do it; someone destined will shoulder the responsibility of breaking that record.

– Roger commenting on today’s game’s point difference.

“Knowing when to stop?

Maybe, if he didn’t stop and continued in the fourth quarter, we might have lost by 60 points!” – T-Mac helplessly responded to Roger’s “I know when to stop” claim.

“Hey Larry, now the total score is 1 to 1, do you still want to talk about the next round’s opponent?”

“Get lost!”

“What?”

“Get lost!

Isn’t the humiliation I received on the court enough!?

Why must you humiliate me further!”

“You were the one who asked us to talk more about the next round’s opponent during interviews, remember?”

“No, of course, I remember, because it was the start of all nightmares!

So please, let me end this nightmare!”

“Alright, then let’s change the question.

Do you have any advice for the Hawks’ second-round opponent?

Sorry, although the total score is still 1 to 1, we are indeed already considering the Hawks’ second-round opponent.”

“Whoever it is, don’t fantasize about beating him, so you won’t be so disappointed afterward.

That’s my heartfelt advice.

You think you won’t lose?

Ha, even God can’t save you.”

– Larry Hughes interviewed by “Sports Illustrated”.
