Without telling anyone his thoughts, Jordan called for the ball for another isolation play upon reaching the frontcourt. This time, no pick-and-roll was needed as Zhang Hao directly defended Jordan.
No one would question Jordan's decision to go one-on-one; he's the best iso player in NBA history. If he wants the ball, his teammates have to give it to him.
When Jordan received the ball, Graham was already in position on defense. This time, Jordan was prepared and, as he shook off the double-team, PJ Brown indeed came to help immediately. Facing a triple-team, Jordan took the shot again...
This time, it was still off by a little, slightly rushed, hitting the inner side of the rim, but Pippen, who understood the Brooklyn Nets' intention after being left unguarded, rushed in to make a putback and scored two points.
Jason Williams was the second best player on the court, but facing Rodman, Pippen, and Langley inside, he felt a tragic one against three.
