Capítulo 258: 114: Believe me one more time! (Requesting monthly votes!)_4

Before halftime began, Sarunas Marciulionis was the first to take the ball onto the court for a warm-up, having no idea whether he would play today, but he knew he had to be ready at any moment.

He had opportunities before but missed them.

If chance happened to come knocking once again, he couldn't let it slip through his fingers so easily.

In the third quarter, Roger's touch showed some signs of revival, yet still not reaching the level from the season opener against the SuperSonics when he had repeatedly scored over Schrempf's fingertips.

He was forced to take those high-difficulty shots, a level of efficiency insufficient to kill the game.

Derrick McKey also began to find his touch, starting to hit mid-range shots.

But one McKey wasn't enough; even if the Cavaliers dedicated a man to mark McKey, they still had enough manpower to restrict Roger's breakthroughs.

More than halfway through the third quarter, the Magic were still down by 5 points, in a very passive situation.
