Facing the easy and natural good state of the two, with their unstoppable offense, George Karl called a timeout.
But what good is a timeout?
These two old guys have dominated the League for twenty years, has anyone found a way to deal with them?
No, you can only wait for their bad form or for them to age.
Last season, Jordan showed signs of aging, and his offensive efficiency dropped a bit.
But this season, looking at his physique and his now light-footed steps, you can tell he is in great shape.
Perhaps you can wait until the end of the season, when 82 regular season games have worn him out, but clearly not now, as this is just the first game.
As Gan Guoyang and Jordan came off the court, they discussed some details of the game, especially regarding the pick and roll.
Both of them used the pick and roll very little in their prime, and starting this season, they have been training together on pick-and-roll coordination, needing to build chemistry.
