Roger had indeed become much better at stealing the ball this season, although steals have never been the standard to measure whether a player's defense is outstanding, that did not mean that steals were completely useless.
After successfully stealing the ball from Jordan, Roger immediately initiated a fast break, dribbling the ball himself. Jordan, like an enraged lion, launched a fierce attack, trying to rip Roger apart.
Nobody had ever dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, to say they could guard him and then do it.
Jordan, desperate to save face, was determined to personally bite off Agent Zero's head!
The cheering in the arena was almost enough to lift the roof off the Orlando Arena. For two consecutive plays, Roger and Jordan were matched up directly, which for the fans was simply blissful.
Jordan stuck close to Roger, trying to stop him with intense physical pressure.
He succeeded.
