George, Visible Panic!

15-minute halftime break.

Time ran out.

Second half, the teams switched sides to battle again.

The NBA Finals clash... continued.

Lakers ball possession.

"Swish!"

Kobe, facing George again, hit an off-the-dribble pull-up jumper, scoring in an unstoppable fashion.

George looked helpless.

He was defending with all his might, closing out perfectly, but... he simply couldn't stop Kobe.

This was truly frustrating.

Transition offense.

Su Yan, facing a three-man trap once more, remained unfazed and called for Tyson Chandler to set a screen.

Curry also made a move on the wing, stretching the defense.

Su Yan shook off one defender and drove to the basket, drawing the attention of the other two.

If he attacked directly...

The paint was guarded by "Little Shaq," Bynum. Facing a triple-team, a direct assault might not be effective.

"Clang!"

Su Yan was being rational.

He chose to pass, finding George cutting on the other side. George received the ball and drove straight for the basket.

Lakers' Power Forward Humphries couldn't keep up.

But... the paint was still guarded by "Little Shaq," Bynum, and George was heading straight into his territory.

He grabbed the ball and soared.

"Bang!"

Their bodies collided fiercely in the air. George tried to draw a foul, but... Bynum gave him no chance.

George, descending, took a difficult shot.

"Clang!"

Missed.

Rebound?!

George himself jumped for the offensive rebound, securing it. In an instant, he faced the fierce defense of "Little Shaq" right in his face.

The contact was intense.

The pressure was immense.

But George had good position. Theoretically, he had a chance to go up for a second-chance shot.

However...

He didn't attack.

Couldn't?!

He didn't dare.

On one hand, "Little Shaq" was applying significant defensive pressure. On the other hand, George was still a bit timid.

It wasn't a
