O'Neal pointed his finger to the sky, meaning to ignore the short guy and just lob the ball!
Eddie Jones did just that, lobbing the ball in while Big Ben was trying to front him.
Eddie Jones's pass wasn't top-notch, but it wasn't bad either; the angle of the lob didn't pose much of a problem.
Just as O'Neal thought he could easily catch the ball and finish with a slam dunk, this short guy in front of him suddenly barged into him, then shot up into the air at an incredible speed like a top-tier wide receiver and caught an unbelievable high pass.
Steve Jones exclaimed, "Where the hell did the Hawks find these monsters!"
Big Ben intercepted the ball, and O'Neal simply couldn't believe that this little guy had actually stopped the Lakers' offense.
After the Hawks advanced, Roger shook off Eddie Jones with back-to-back dribbles to create space, then hit a mid-range jumper with ease.
After that basket, the Lakers were now down by 11 points.
