"Yes, I need to rest. Let me return in the fourth quarter."
Against the Pistons, and during the regular season against the Trail Blazers, Jordan did not want to rest for even a minute in the second half.
Tonight, it's really not possible. An away game, first finals, overly tense, nerves highly strained, massive energy consumption in the first half, and taking on offense and defense led to Jordan not planning his energy reserves well.
He got thrown off by Gan Guoyang, and after sitting on the bench at the end of the third quarter, he felt he didn't want to get up. He had to rest for a while.
Jackson hesitated for a moment and said, "Gan is likely not going to rest."
Jordan took a sip of water and said, "I know, but I need it. I got thrown off by him. I need to regroup."
Jordan did not get obsessed with matching Gan Guoyang's playing time.
To rest means to rest, he accurately judged his own body.
Moreover, there is still the entire fourth quarter to turn things around.
