Moreover, Malone was well aware that when he first joined the league and was training with the Jazz, Stockton didn't think much of him.
Although Stockton didn't show it most of the time, occasionally during training and games, he would slightly shake his head.
It was as if he was saying, "You're playing it wrong; if it were Ah Gan playing, he wouldn't play like that, he could play that way, he would play better," and so on.
Later, Malone kept improving, and he and Stockton completed so many plays together that he couldn't even remember, there's a lot, in any case.
Stockton finally no longer had that look and expression.
Up until 7 PM, the third game between the Trail Blazers and the Jazz, Malone still felt uneasy in his heart.
He had a premonition that something might happen tonight, a conflict, a battle, maybe even bloodshed.
He was restless inside; the Jazz's home court had changed from the early Salt Palace Arena to the Triangle Center.
