228: He might need someone to have his back more (Vote for monthly ticket!)_4

At this moment, the Hawks had just finished a timeout.

Roger's old friend, now the assistant coach for the Heat, Spoelstra, could clearly see Riley's hands shaking while holding the clipboard.

Riley took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

But the moment he spoke, his quivering voice gave him away: "Stick to Roger, stick to him like glue!"

The final 2 minutes, leading by 3 points, facing Roger.

Pat Riley had encountered this scene many times before.

But the outcome had always been him being stabbed bloody by Roger.

Ever since Roger's rookie season, Riley had repeatedly been reversed by Roger despite having the upper hand.

So, in crucial moments, he would rather leave Pierce open, leave everyone open, just to lock down that number 14.

As the game resumed, Sprewell and Jamal Mashburn paid no attention to anyone else, double-teaming Roger the moment he got the ball.

Roger sidestepped to shake them off, then suddenly made a sharp turn, slipping right between them!
