Playing the Dream Shake Against Hakeem Olajuwon!

"Decisive! Newly crowned MVP Kobe used the pick-and-roll to force a switch onto Charles Barkley, then immediately pulled up for three!"

"This season, Kobe has averaged more than three made threes per game! His three-point shooting has taken his aggressiveness to another level!"

"The biggest difference between Kobe and Michael is that Kobe's offensive range covers the entire half court. From the logo to the paint, Kobe can score from anywhere."

"Michael, meanwhile, can only score from inside the three-point line."

"Defending Kobe has become the league's number-one problem! He won the scoring title precisely because there was almost no way to defend him!"

"Kobe broke Michael's monopoly on the scoring title! At the same time, he gave many players around the league a new path—shooting threes! Three-pointers are worth one more point than twos! Many players with limited athleticism have reportedly begun grinding on their three-point shots."

Kobe buried the three without changing expression, then turned and headed back on defense.

Barkley was left standing there, stunned.

"That kid really doesn't take me seriously!" Barkley gritted his teeth.

"Give it to me." Hakeem Olajuwon had already crossed half court and held out his hand for the ball from Drexler.

Hakeem put on a show! Perhaps his quiet regular season had made many people forget just how terrifying peak Hakeem had been! But in this playoff game, Hakeem intended to crush O'Neal!

Although Hakeem Olajuwon had acknowledged O'Neal as his successor and the league's best center, that did not mean Hakeem was willing to bow his head before O'Neal!

Never underestimate the heart of a champion!

"Come on, old man! Let me beat you head-on! Let me crush you in this series!"

"Then I'll become the pride of centers, fair and square!"

O'Neal pressed one hand against Hakeem's back!
