Chapter 1070: Chapter 343: He Is My Curse, and Yours Too!
Jordan and Pippen? They even feel like they’ve returned to the Bulls era. For the veteran players, recalling the glorious days is the most exciting thing. This excitement might transform into adrenaline, energizing their bodies.
Michael Jordan glanced at Pippen: “Scott, why do I feel like I can’t get tired today?”
“Funny, Michael, I feel the same!”
On the Cavaliers’ side, head coach Paul Silas only reminded: “LeBron, hang in there!”
James looked at the coach, without responding. This was a very bad sign, even though he performed brilliantly today, people subconsciously felt he would falter at crucial moments.
This is why James must win this game.
This season he went through so much, from being highly anticipated to being condemned, from Michael Jordan’s little brother to the biggest rival.
Now, he just wants to reset everything, he wants to tell the world that he deserves the nickname “Chosen One!”
Both sides are still desperately holding onto the playoff tickets, thus the bloodiest carnage began in the fourth quarter!
Right at the start of the fourth quarter, Michael Jordan hit a three-pointer, which made James grumble: “Luck!”
“You better not say that,” Michael Jordan spread his hands, “The last person who underestimated my three-point shooting, died very miserably.”
James wouldn’t back down, he forced his way to the basket, but Kurt Thomas fouled him roughly and brought him down.
This displeased the Cavaliers’ players, and there was some shoving between both sides.
At this time, Jordan recalled the Pistons, those bastards used to deal with him like this back in the day. And now, his own team must deal with LeBron James in the same way.
So one cannot defeat time.
But don’t forget, Jordan spent many years fighting the Pistons before finally defeating the Detroit Bad Boys once.
And LeBron James, he shouldn’t even think about chopping off his head!
James stepped up for free throws, making one out of two again.
If he cannot punish the Hawks’ fouls with free throws, then Kurt Thomas is quite willing to knock him down every play.
The lead narrowed to just 5 points, Garnett and Roger didn’t speak, just stared at the TV.
Kevin Garnett hopes LeBron James can win, because it represents that power is not beyond challenge.
And Roger? His feelings are very complicated.
For the first time, he felt he could empathize with Michael Jordan.
The person he once hated to the core now seemed not that annoying.
Nothing can defeat time, right? Not even hatred?
Soon Roger realized that he did not let go of hatred because of time, but because of continuous victories. He had completely defeated Michael Jordan, all the hateful emotions were vented in those victories.
So now, he doesn’t actually hate Jordan that much.
To the point that Roger leans toward hoping Jordan wins.
Maybe it’s a kind of egotism, but Roger always feels that only he has the right to defeat Michael Jordan.
The Cavaliers’ 5-point advantage did not last long, because after the Hawks attacked, Michael Jordan scored again from mid-range!
“Michael’s 28th point today! After experiencing a shooting slump in the third quarter, he found his rhythm promptly in the fourth quarter! The old guy is not easing up, continuing to showcase the things in his arsenal! LeBron’s in big trouble, the Cavaliers now lead by just 3 points!” Kevin Harlan’s palms were sweaty, the fourth quarter seemed to be the fiercest part of the entire game.
After scoring, Jordan wasn’t idle, his verbal arsenal was also quite stocked.
“Tonight your excuses will be pierced, tonight the whole world will know you’re the real culprit why the Cavaliers can’t make the playoffs! You want to defeat me? You want to surpass Roger? Let me tell you a fact LeBron, you’re not even worth one of Roger’s toes! The most failure I’ve ever encountered in life was believing in you!”
“You’re not leading yet, Michael!”
“Soon kid, very soon.”
Michael Jordan wasn’t lying because a play later, Shawn Marion’s three-pointer helped the Hawks tie the score!
In this play, when Jordan broke into mid-range, Carlos Boozer actually chose to help defend.
Believe it or not, but the 41-year-old Michael Jordan can still attract double teams.
Jordan didn’t hesitate to pass the ball to Marion lurking in the corner; it was fast and accurate. People always remember Jordan as a super scorer while ignoring his career average of 5.3 assists.
The latter did not disappoint Jordan, calmly knocking down that shot.
28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, for a player about to retire, such stats are already glamorous.
But Michael Jordan still frowned, seriously shouting, “Don’t relax, no one relax!”
The score was tied, it seemed like LeBron James would habitually lose again at crucial moments.
But the subsequent three-pointer made Rich Paul and all the LeBron supporters cry out.
“LeBron hits a three! He’s not good at three-point shooting, but in crucial moments his shot is firm! I bet, LeBron has changed, he really has changed!”
James refuses to be crushed by an old, decayed piece of wood. If he can’t even surpass Michael Jordan, how can he challenge Roger?
