章節 213: 102: Michael's new partner? The Rockets can't lift off! (Vote for monthly ticket!)

Before the game started, the hottest player of the Finals was Olajuwon.

But at the post-game press conference, nearly everyone was talking about Roger.

We lost to Roger in last year's Finals as well, but it felt completely different. Last year, his victory seemed accidental. But this year, he truly took control of the game, and it's hard to imagine a player under the age of 20 dominating the Finals. No matter what, we have to snatch victory from the hands of such a genius. — Tomjanovich talking about Roger's 45 points.

We now have to take both of our home games without any retreat, or the situation will become too dangerous. Roger has wounded me again, but this time, the wound is just deeper than before—I have not been defeated. I wake up before dawn every day, eat seven dates and drink a gallon of water, then pray for strength. So these difficulties can't take me down, because I know I'm filled with strength. — Olajuwon discussing the home loss.
