In the 1995 finals, the Magic led by O’Neal and Hardaway was swept out by the Rockets led by the old o’rajuwon. Although The finals were suppressed, O’Neal still thought he was a better player, and sent a 1V1 challenge to olajuwang.
After the finals, O’Neal wrote in a private dream: “Hakim, the series may be a foregone conclusion, but it is not over between you and me. Indeed, you are very good with the support of the team behind you, but I want to play 1V1 with you.”
The challenge book was quickly fermented by the media, and the big dream also accepted the challenge. Taco Zhong became the sponsor of this competition, and the winner’s bonus reached an astonishing 1 million dollars, even several dark match games before the competition.
Unfortunately, olajuwang withdrew the day before the start of the competition. It was reported that he withdrew because of the pain in the sacrum caused by weightlifting. The host tried to invite Mo Ning to take the place of the big dream against O ‘Neal, but finally failed to make a trip and the game was canceled.
