The Desire to Win! "Black Mamba" Goes Berserk!

The third quarter ended.

The Lakers led by 12 points, putting the pressure on the Knicks.

The final quarter.

Su Yan did not rest and went straight back onto the court. He was telling the Lakers that he had to win tonight.

"Thud!"

Kobe threw his towel aside from the bench and decisively got up to take the court, determined to go head-to-head with Su Yan.

You want to win?

I want it even more!

After leaving Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe had won only one championship as the team's leader.

He needed at least two championships as the team's leader to prove that, even without O'Neal, he could still help the Lakers build a dynasty.

Last year had been a perfect opportunity, but Su Yan had ruined it in the end.

After strengthening their roster with Chris Paul this year, they could once again launch an assault on the championship.

He did not want to fall in the same place twice.

He was determined to win tonight no matter what. They could worry about clawing one game back first.

The fierce battle was about to erupt once again.

Su Yan used his strength advantage to forcibly knock Kobe aside, then stepped back and chose to shoot a three-pointer.

It was his usual move.

But this time, Kobe gritted his teeth and held his ground against Su Yan's collision. He seized the moment to leap forward and disrupt the shot.

By a considerable margin.

"Clang!"

Su Yan's three-pointer bounced off the rim this time.

Playing basketball?!

It had clearly been a scramble between the two teams' bench players, but Kobe charged into the paint and secured the ball.

A moment ago, he had been defending Su Yan on the perimeter.

The next, he was fighting for the rebound inside.
