Kobe at His Strongest!

"Fuck! Fuck, fuck! Fuckfuckfuck! I'm soaked! Did you see that shot?" Liu Wei frantically shook Yao Ming beside him.

"I saw it!" Yao Ming's mouth fell open in shock, his face turning into a huge stunned expression.

The same scene was playing out before practically every basketball fan's television!

Kobe dribbled behind his back, spun past his defender at close range, then hit a super step-back!

A split-second sequence! He shook Michael Jordan to the ground!

Then, from beyond the three-point line, he leaned back at an angle and sank the shot under the combined defense of Pippen and Ron Harper.

Unbelievable!

The scene was as shocking as one of Houdini's greatest illusions!

The pinnacle of skill, talent, and spirit!

For every basketball fan, that shot felt as soothing as a bowl of borscht on a winter day!

Amazing!

So damn amazing!

Especially for Lakers fans, who had been feeling stifled ever since Jordan had single-handedly killed the game in the last matchup!

But Kobe's shot swept away all that frustration.

"So decisive?" In a luxurious villa in Philadelphia, Iverson bit his lip. If it had been him—

In the regular season, Iverson would have dared to play like that. But this was Game 4 of the Finals. Less than five seconds into the game, he had taken on the entire opposing team by himself and completed the attack.

Just thinking about it made his blood boil!

Ignoring the defense!

This was true disregard for defense!

In Boston, McGrady's eyes widened.

Damn it!

That was way too cool!

McGrady clenched his fists, staring wide-eyed at the replay on the television!

Domineering! Confident! Graceful!

That shot was Kobe's way of basketball!

"One day, I'll make a shot like that on the Finals stage too."
