With Jordan's return, the team immediately gained an anchor for the offense. He received the ball in the low post, and the 76ers decisively double-teamed him. He passed the ball to the wing, where Bell took it, drove, and missed a floater.
Ewing grabbed the rebound and made a putback.
It seemed like it was just Ewing's achievement, but Bell's drive also pulled away the 76ers' interior defense.
Otherwise, at Ewing's age, he wouldn't be able to secure the offensive rebound position.
Then, Ewing disrupted McGee's layup at the basket and controlled the rebound.
Glory counterattacked, and Van Exel wanted to shoot a three-pointer but was stopped by Jordan.
"Don't shoot threes! Don't shoot!"
In this situation, if Van Exel randomly shot a three and missed, it would give the opponents a chance to counterattack.
Jordan and Ewing's retreat speed is definitely not what it was at their peak, and giving the 76ers consecutive fast breaks would be hard to handle.
