After a night of intense action, Gisele Bundchen finally calmed down, having been tamed by Roger.
Through his vigorous efforts, Roger has proven that Bundchen is indeed his true love, his lifeblood.
The trade drama was smoothly resolved by Roger, and Scottie Pippen let go of all doubts, continuing to guard the King from Atlanta.
Perhaps influenced by this event, Pippen’s performance in subsequent games resembled a swan song.
On November 22, against the Golden State Warriors, Pippen scored 15 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and made 6 assists, while holding Allan Houston to 11 points on 15 shots.
The owner of the Golden State Warriors, Chris Cohan, felt like the sky was falling.
He gave Allan Houston a max contract worth hundreds of millions for star power, but in reality, the team’s attendance was not much better than last season.
Their performance was still dismal.
In this game, Allan Houston was completely humiliated by Pippen’s defense.
If this continues, Chris Cohan feels he might not be able to hold on and would have to sell the team.
One can only say that Allan Houston is a very, very lucky person.
In the original timeline, he got the hundred-million-dollar contract from James Dolan because he helped create the Knicks’ ‘Black Eight’ miracle.
In this timeline, he got Chris Cohan’s hundred-million-dollar contract because he was part of the ‘Godslayer Heat.’
The only difference is that James Dolan didn’t care how much Allan Houston earned; he could afford it.
But Chris Cohan, whose finances were already shaky, might be crushed by this contract.
97 to 72, the Hawks crushed the Warriors, achieving a four-game winning streak since Roger’s return, with a current record of 8 wins and 4 losses.
The highly anticipated match on November 24 against the Philadelphia 76ers, who so far had no losses, saw the strong defense of the 76ers causing the Hawks plenty of trouble.
Marion, Pierce, and Hornacek all had shooting percentages below 40% tonight.
You may question Larry Brown’s character and offensive skills, but he’s undoubtedly skilled at coaching defense.
With a starting combination of Eric Snow, Mutombo, George Lynch, and Tyrone Hill, it’s basically like AI is wearing heavy armor.
Of course, merely wearing heavy armor and getting passively hit won’t do.
Even in heavy armor, AI can still punch a powerful blow into the Hawks.
He relentlessly attacked the paint, stopped on a dime for jump shots, and launched long-range shots from the three-point line.
In the fifth year of his career, he transformed into the Allen Iverson who in 2001 created myths, much like Roger’s vague memories of him.
This season, AI’s strength wasn’t a sudden change; he didn’t spend the summer playing around, but instead worked hard in the gym, increasing his weight from 70 kg to 81 kg, which greatly improved his finish rate in the paint.
The most terrifying thing is that in the second game after the season started, AI twisted his knee due to the extra weight from training, yet by 9:30 the next morning, Larry Brown saw Iverson at practice: “Injury?
Man, I’m here to fight!”
More than his stronger physique, it’s his heart that’s the strongest this season.
He’s had enough of losing year after year, enough of being easily swept by the Hawks last season.
He wants to win too, with the pride of a number one pick and the determination to oppose the world in order to win.
This season, AI’s attitude towards basketball is exactly what he wrote in his debut rap single lyrics: “I’m a giant, you are the dwarfs!”
Under tight defense and AI’s powerful offensive strikes, the Hawks were still 6 points behind with a minute and a half left in the game.
The Philadelphia fans on site all stood up, and Steve Jones got goosebumps: “This season, Allen Iverson is one of the tallest players in the entire league!
Who can take the lead in front of a full-roster Hawks in the final moments, who can do it?
Previously, no matter if it was the Bucks or the Kings, they were all directly thrown into garbage time!
Only AI, only he can injure the Savior of Atlanta!”
Next to him, Bill Walton joked: “Where’s Paul Pierce?
Where’s the Hawks’ weapon of mass destruction?”
The Hawks being forced to bring up Pierce, this big weapon, is enough to illustrate how dangerous the situation is.
With a timeout, Lenny Wilkens set up a defensive strategy.
After re-entering the game, Roger approached AI, who was bracing himself with his hands on his knees: “How’s the knee feeling?”
“Now’s not the time to be asking that question.”
“Do you know what losing speed and explosiveness means for you?”
“I don’t know, I only know I’m about to beat you!” AI, eager for battle, had no mood for other conversations.
Roger shook his head.
Ever since he appeared, many things in this history had changed.
But some things aren’t so easy to change.
Let’s hope AI’s body doesn’t completely break down, honestly, Roger quite admires him.
With a minute and a half remaining and a 6-point lead, the Philadelphia 76ers virtually had victory in hand.
But what happened next seemed like a replay of the 1998 Finals.
Roger first passed the ball to Pippen amidst double-team pressure, and the latter calmly hit the crucial three-pointer.
Pippen and Roger were the only two Hawks perimeter players in tonight’s game with shooting percentages above 40%, with Pippen clearly maintaining his form till the end.
With the score margin back to 3 points, in the next defensive play, Pippen disrupted AI’s pass to Eric Snow.
AI’s improvement this season is significant, not just in weight and determination, but also in his control of turnovers, averaging only 2.2 per game.
