When Michael Jordan constantly thought about Roger, Roger's mind was filled with the figure of Pat Riley.
Because the Knicks were the top seed in the East this year and the Bulls were second, the only possibility for the two teams to meet was on the stage of the conference finals.
This also meant that Roger and the Bulls had to securely cross the first two rounds to get the chance to take revenge on Riley.
And their opponent in the first round was the New Jersey Nets.
This young team, like Roger, was full of desire, with Derrick Coleman, the 1990 number one pick, and Kenny Anderson, the 1991 runner-up, both hoping to break through in their careers.
Well, these two might not have played well for more than two months in a season. Skipping training, ignoring team rules, and hitting every nightclub in town were what these two talents usually did. Their nightlife was much more colorful than their performance on the basketball court.
