After Hansen received the ball, he didn't directly play one-on-one against Deng, but instead signaled Jokic to retrieve to the three-point line and passed the ball.
Immediately, he started to cut inside.
Deng retreated with Hansen, but Hansen suddenly reversed and ran back to the three-point line.
Jokic's basketball IQ is indeed high; he was initially holding the ball ready to pass inside but quickly caught up with Hansen's rhythm and handed the ball over after a dribble, incidentally blocking Big Gasol who might be charging out.
Hansen caught the ball, turned, and once again took an unobstructed three-point shot.
When the basketball pierced through the net again, Riley finally couldn't sit still.
The essence of the Jordan Rules is to do everything possible to prevent the opponent from scoring, including but not limited to double-teaming and fouling.
Even when Jordan reached his peak back then, he would be limited by such defensive tactics.
