"There are too many souls in need of saving in this world, I can’t just save one, it’s unethical. You know, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."
After so pleasantries, Roger revealed the hunter’s teeth: "Michael, I’m really curious, how are you going to lead the team into the second round?"
"That’s none of your concern!"
"No, no, no, I absolutely must be concerned, after all, it pertains to whether the great Michael is just a boastful liar. Don’t worry, this is just a regular season ga, it won’t resemble the playoffs. I’ll just try a little to see if you have the qualifications for the conference finals. If you do, I’ll be much more at ease."
"Are you threatening ?"
"So what if I am? You and LeBron, better get ready."
With that, Roger turned and walked back to his half of the court.
That was his ultimatum.
Standing nearby, LeBron Jas glanced at Old Joe. Jordan clenched his fists, but this ti it wasn’t out of fear, rather it was determination to compete with Roger. Everyone feels fear, but Jordan also has the courage to face it.
"LeBron," Jordan’s brown eyes turned blood-red once again, "didn’t you hear? Get ready! It’s happened, and we have to face it!"
Jordan hoped to see the sa angry expression on LeBron Jas’ face, but he was disappointed.
Jas acted as if nothing happened, just nodded: "Okay, Michael."
The ga was about to begin, and the atmosphere was electric as Cleveland fans held up signs with slogans like "Enter the New Generation."
Roger didn’t understand why these people were so obsessed with a new era, even if they enter a new era, the champion is still .
The starters were in position, and after Roger embraced Eric Snow, he retreated to the half court, waiting for the tip-off.
Mutombo secured possession, Big Z was still young, sa age as Roger, but having gone through major injuries early on, he seed older and worn out than Mutombo, barely able to jump.
Warriors on offense, LeBron Jas tasked with guarding Roger.
But Roger didn’t launch an attack right away, because Stoudemire had already shaken off Carlos Boozer with a cut.
Roger passed the ball out, Stoudemire took the shot, Boozer’s interference wasn’t tight, yet the basketball bounced out of the rim.
Stoudemire raised his hand apologetically: "My bad."
Cavaliers counterattack, Eric Snow took the ball past the half court and imdiately handed it to Jordan, who faced off against Prince, choosing a post-up challenge.
He pushed twice, then spun for a fadeaway.
You have to admit, among the 40-year-olds, Michael Jordan’s ability is top-tier.
His movents still looked smooth, even smoother than 19-year-old LeBron.
The basketball swished through the net, it seed Michael Jordan was in good form tonight.
In a subsequent play, Roger passed the ball to the open Allan Houston.
But unexpectedly, Michael Jordan accelerated suddenly and snagged Roger’s pass.
His experience remained rich, his physical form? Stronger than the previous gas!
Jordan counterattacked vigorously, Roger chased swiftly. But when they reached the basket, Jordan passed the ball to Jas outside the three-point line.
Jas confidently knocked down a three-pointer, Cavaliers opened 5 to 0!
"Listen to the sound of Gund Arena!" ESPN’s Al Michaels shouted, "It’s the cry of release from Cleveland! LeBron and Michael, they might truly sweep away the darkness!"
In fact, it’s not just Cavaliers fans who are willing to believe in Jordan and Jas.
After all, Cavaliers had just secured three consecutive wins, and Jordan and Jas were getting increasingly better.
This play also made Roger realize he absolutely cannot let down his guard.
That number 45 is here to fight.
That’s right, he’s 40 years old.
But don’t expect him to stand around with his hands on his hips or gaze around absent-mindedly in defense.
At least tonight, he will burn his remaining energy, to fight for that slim chance to win!
That’s why, even though Michael Jordan has poor off-court conduct, there are still so many who like him.
Because on the court, he is always pure.
Another bad news is, LeBron Jas seems to have a good shooting touch today.
All sports journalists love to emphasize LeBron’s supposedly subpar shooting, making fans think he can’t shoot at all.
In reality, when he has a good feel, he can hit so jump shots, even long-distance ones.
Trailing 5 to 0, Roger’s relaxed nerves were now taut.
Alright, alright, I know you’re good, now it’s ti to stop.
Warriors resu attack, Roger approaches the three-point line and waves, signaling everyone to spread out.
Michael Jordan shouted: "LeBron, get tight, where’s the aggression?"
Following orders, Jas closed in to defend Roger, but he was still too green. Roger switched up with a behind-the-back dribble and brushed past him, Michael Jordan attempted to help, but at 40, his defensive support wasn’t that swift.
Roger directly entered the paint, faced Big Z guarding the basket, and resolved the situation with a floater.
to 5, Roger began his effort.
"This isn’t the defense of a conference semifinals team, Michael, far from it."
Jordan didn’t retort, instead imdiately leading a counterattack.
Facing the tough Tayshaun Prince again, Jordan passed the ball to number 23.
Jas might have technical issues, but his physical talent is undeniable.
With Big Z’s screen, Jas has a high success rate in breaking through against anyone.
