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 mont, 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 ga, 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 mont, the ga has only 22 seconds left, the Hawks are leading by 2 points, and Phil Jackson used his last tiout.
Just four minutes ago, the Zen Master thought the fully ford Big3 would close the ga.
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 overti 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 mont ca, the hearts of Lakers fans in front of the TV were racing.
Jerry Buss was extrely 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 ga 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 tis in the playoffs?
As the ga began, Pippen pursued and defended Kobe the entire ti.
Since he had just rested for four minutes, Pippen regained so 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 monts, calmly dribbled and directed his teammates to position themselves.
Grant Hill wanted to pass to Kobe, but Pippen blocked all opportunities.
At this mont, 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 ga would go into overti, which would be very disadvantageous for the Hawks.
Robert Horry clamped down on Marion beyond the three-point line.
In regular ti, Marion could give Horry so slack, but at crucial monts, you must treat Horry as a real superstar.
So Marion didn’t imdiately go to help Big Ben double-team Shaq, giving O’Neal a chance to tie the ga.
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 ti.
At this mont, 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 ti left, Kobe didn’t have the chance to adjust and shot imdiately 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 soone had pressed the slow-motion button.
Kobe also fixed his eyes on the ball; his rushed shot, disturbed, made him uncertain of its outco.
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 mont it touched the rim, the backboard lit up red.
Roger shattered the Big3’s siege with extre offense, then in the final possession, defended each one of the Big3!
Ga over, 109-108, the Atlanta Hawks won this epic battle at their ho 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 ca over and extended a hand: “Get up and celebrate the victory, buddy.”
Roger shook his head: “Let rest a bit, Scott.
Damn, I feel like I just had the toughest fight with so 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 ga.
Seeing Roger walk toward the Big3 holding the ball with one hand, I knew the Lakers couldn’t win.
At that mont, 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 seed shaky.
At that ti, 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 mont, 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, comnting on Roger’s performance tonight.
