Dumars had already calculated where the ball would fall, and in fact, he had even decided on his next pass.
Great organizers always see two or three moves ahead.
But Dumars's first step went wrong.
As the ball fell toward him, Magic Team's number 14 suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
Roger had almost instantly judged Pippen's target the moment he passed the ball. He timely appeared on the passing route, jumped up, and effortlessly intercepted the ball.
Roger had blocked the Bulls' offence for the third consecutive time!
Don't know what defensive efficiency means? It doesn't matter, Roger's excellent defensive performance today was clear to the naked eye!
Everyone thought it would be a scoring title contest, a duel of scoring. But Roger, initiating with outstanding defense, delivered a blow to the Bulls right off the bat!
Jordan muttered a curse under his breath, he hadn't anticipated such trouble right from the start; Roger made Michael Jordan truly feel his growth.
