Chapter 147 Between Love and Hate (Thanks to the Lord of the Alliance, Nan Cangxi)

Doug Collins approached Jordan, assuming a subordinate's posture, "Michael, are you feeling okay?"

The subtext was, do you need a rest?

Substituting Jordan out now could help avoid Yu Fei's sharp edge.

But to rest after less than three minutes of play would make the intention to avoid conflict too obvious.

"I feel great," Jordan had no intention of leaving the court, "but we need to adjust our inside game."

Jordan's will prevailed over Collins's authority as a coach, so he asked, "How should we adjust?"

"Take out Tim, let Oak in," Jordan said.

Collins squinted slightly, last season's failure taught Jordan and his team one lesson: don't go looking for trouble.
