Revisiting the classic, Jordan s last shot in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, his second three-game winning streak

The sixth game of the 1998 finals is an immortal monument. It witnessed another great performance by the god of basketball Michael Jordan and became an eternal classic in the hearts of countless fans. The drama, competitive and legendary colors contained in this game are still talked about by people today. The 1998 finals was the peak showdown between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. The Bulls temporarily led the Jazz 3-2 in the first five games, but the Jazz were extremely tenacious at home Salt Lake City, eager to win the championship at their own home. The suspense of the victory or defeat of the sixth game has been tightly grasped by all fans from the beginning of the game. At the beginning of the game, the Jazz once took the initiative on the court with their home advantage and tenacious defense. Carl Malone and John Stockton cooperated with the "black and white double evil spirits". Their strong attacks in the inside and accurate passes from the outside put huge pressure on the Bulls' defense. However, as the core of the Bulls, Jordan's existence is the team's stabilization needle. Although he was under the Jazz's key defense during the game, Jordan still relied on his super personal ability to keep scoring for the team and keep the score tight.

As the game deepened, the competition between the two sides became increasingly fierce, and the scores rose alternately. At the critical moment of the game, every offense and defense of both sides is crucial. The Jazz had a slight lead with the last few minutes left in the game, and the balance of victory seemed to start to tilt towards them. But at this moment, Jordan showed his extraordinary strength and psychological qualities as the God of Basketball.

With less than a minute left in the game, the Bulls were one point behind, and the ball was in the hands of the Bulls. After receiving the ball, Jordan dribbled through and faced the double-team defense of several Jazz players. He cleverly used his footsteps and fake moves to drift past the defensive players, jumped high near the free throw line, shot, the basketball was hollowed into the net, and the Bulls overtook the score. The Jazz then launched an attack, and Stockton received a pass from Malone outside the three-point line and prepared to take a three-pointer. At this critical moment, Jordan quickly rushed from the rear and interfered with Stockton's shot with his iconic "death glare", and the ball bounced out of the basket. The Bulls grabbed the rebound and Jordan took the ball again. He dribbled through half the game and faced Russell's defense. With 5.2 seconds left in the game, Jordan suddenly stopped and leaned back and jumped. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and entered the net hollow. The Bulls led the Jazz 87-86. This classic "last shot" has become one of the most famous moments in NBA history.

The Jazz's last offense failed to hit, and the Bulls eventually defeated the Jazz 87-86 to win the 1998 NBA championship, completing their second three-game title. Jordan scored 45 points in the game, including a key last-minute score, and he proved with his practical actions that he was the dominant player on the basketball court.

The significance of this game is not only in the Bulls winning the championship, but also in the extreme desire for victory and extraordinary performance at critical moments that Jordan showed in the game. Every shot, every pass, every defense is full of fighting spirit and determination. Jordan's spirit inspired his teammates to do their best in the game and also made countless fans go crazy. Game 6 of the 1998 Finals has become a symbol in basketball history. It represents the highest level and competitive spirit of basketball, and has been remembered and praised by generations of basketball enthusiasts.
