Season Debut, Instant Game-Winner!

"YES!!"

Allan Houston pumped his fist hard, and Madison Square Garden instantly erupted from dead silence into a boiling sea!

Phil Jackson did not call a timeout. He trusted Jordan.

There were 28 seconds left in the game.

The Bulls had one final possession.

The whole world knew the ball would go to Jordan.

Jordan controlled the ball at the top of the arc as the seconds ticked away. The Knicks did not double-team him; that was Li Fei's request. He wanted to end this showdown one-on-one.

Jordan looked at Li Fei before him. The young man's terrifying height and wingspan almost blocked out his entire field of vision.

But he felt no fear at all.

Ten seconds remained... eight... five...

Jordan moved!

He unleashed a dazzling, extravagant sequence of footwork—successive crossovers, between-the-legs dribbles, behind-the-back dribbles—trying to shake Li Fei off balance!

But Li Fei's base was as steady as a rock. His lateral quickness was unbelievably fast, and he remained in front of Jordan like a shadow, never giving up a single defensive position!

Only three seconds remained!

Jordan was out of time! He forced himself into the air, twisting his body to an unbelievable angle as he used the last of his strength to flick the ball away!

An extreme fadeaway jumper!

Li Fei leaped with all his might at the same time, his terrifying 2.45-meter wingspan fully spread in midair like a vast net blotting out the sky!

His fingertips were almost about to touch the ball in the air!

"Bang!"

The basketball struck the front rim and bounced high!

Rebound!

Arvydas Sabonis used his massive body to firmly box out Malone and Ewing, fiercely pulling the rebound into his arms!

"Timeout!" The instant Sabonis landed, he shouted at the referee with all his strength.

The whistle
