Malone is double. They swat at it and steal it. Here comes Chicago, Michael never clears so Malone doesn't see him. He comes from the blind side and trips him.

(post area: The space on both sides of the free-throw lane)= Korbbereich,
also evtl. "Michael immer noch im Korbbereich,..."

"That was when Jordan, part of a double team, stripped the ball away and snatched the series' life from Malone. A stunned Malone could only watch Jordan tear off from the scene like a getaway car.
''Karl never saw me coming,'' Jordan said. ''I was able to knock the ball away.''
