The Imminent Tianwang Mountain, A White-Hot Series!

The game resumed.

Chicago Bulls possession.

Sam Cassell dribbled across half court, and the Knicks' defensive formation hesitated for an instant.

Li Fei was matched up against Malone, so he naturally followed Malone's movement.

But this time, Malone did not stay in the low post. Instead, he moved directly to the right elbow at a forty-five-degree angle!

Li Fei, guarding him, was forced to leave the paint as well.

With that, the Knicks' once impregnable interior defense instantly developed a massive gap!

Jordan understood immediately. With an off-ball cut, he slipped toward the basket like a ghost.

Cassell delivered the pass at exactly the right moment.

"Watch out!" Li Fei shouted a warning, but it was already too late.

Jordan caught the ball and, facing Larry Johnson rotating over, finished with a nimble up-and-under layup.

8:4.

"What a beautiful possession!"

Kevin Harlan exclaimed, "This is the spacing advantage brought by a small lineup! Li Fei was pulled out of the paint by Malone, and the Knicks' basket was instantly wide open!"

Knicks possession.

Van Gundy gestured from the sideline, signaling for the offense to attack inside.

Sabonis established position in the low post, matched against Karl Malone, who was nearly fifteen centimeters shorter than him.

This should have been an easy mismatched scoring opportunity.

However, Malone's defense was far tougher than anyone had imagined.

He planted his powerful lower body firmly against Sabonis, while his upper body constantly delivered physical contact with his famous "iron elbows," doing everything he could to disrupt The Roof of the World.

After the repeated physical battles, Sabonis seemed to be struggling. His hook shot clanged off the rim under Malone's heavy contest.

Jordan grabbed the rebound, and the Chicago Bulls immediately launched a fast break!

The tide on the court shifted abruptly!
