Chapter 1041 - 335: Lessons from the King, Betrayal from the Chosen One
Since that game, Penny was completely overshadowed by Roger, and no one would compare him to Roger anymore.
And tonight, it felt like 1995 again for the Nike executives.
Because Roger once again scored 40 points in the first half!
In the second quarter, Roger exploded with 19 points, abandoning his usual style, barely passing the ball, and repeatedly scoring over James and Jordan, showing the world how unsurpassable the gap was between them and the braggart.
At halftime, the Warriors were leading by 21 points, but in the locker room, he told Hubie Brown: "In the third quarter, it’s the same; if LeBron and Michael come on, I come on."
In the third quarter, Jordan was already exhausted.
Today, he took on too much responsibility, which led to him hitting a physical wall in the third quarter.
And James only occasionally took shots, spending more time passing.
With 1 minute and 02 seconds left in the third quarter, when Jordan was covered by Stephen Jackson and had no strength left to break through, he passed the ball to James in the last 10 seconds.
Facing Roger, James started dribbling between his legs. Roger defended seriously, not relaxing despite the team’s large lead.
Just when everyone thought James would take on the challenge and go head-to-head with Roger, he passed the ball back to Jordan in the last 4 seconds!
Michael Jordan received the ball in an instant, his mind went blank.
