Roger replied coldly, "If it's about defense, I have my ways to set the tone."
Then, the starting players of both teams stepped onto the court.
Michael Jordan, wearing jersey number 45, stared intently at Roger with number 14.
Chris Webber eyed Shaquille O'Neal with ill intent.
Jordan approached, ready to shake hands with the Magic Team players. In his plan, he would shake hands with everyone except Roger, as a way to exert psychological pressure on him.
Jordan walked over to Ron Harper, with whom he had played cards a few times in private, a familiar face.
But when faced with Jordan's outstretched hand, Harper didn't react at all.
Jordan awkwardly patted Harper's shoulder and then moved on to his former teammate Grant.
Grant looked at the hand Jordan extended, and coldly "tsk"ed.
Not just the two of them, the whole Magic Team was cold to Jordan. None of them seemed inclined to shake his hand!
