After a heated argument on the phone, the two reluctantly hung up. Jordan took a deep breath, placed his phone on the bedside table, turned off the hotel TV, and lay down staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He had just watched the broadcast of the fourth game of the West Finals between the Trail Blazers and the Bulls from his hotel room in Indianapolis.
The Trail Blazers launched a fierce assault, leaving the Jazz team powerless to respond.
The Bulls lost both games against the Jazz in the regular season and had struggled a lot in last year's early finals.
Jordan clearly understood that the Jazz team was a very strong team, but he didn't expect them to be so vulnerable against the Trail Blazers.
In four games, there were three where the point difference exceeded 20 points, and Karl Malone was restricted to an average of 18 points.
Jordan knew that there were reasons for certain teams countering others.
