"35 seconds left! Lakers ball!"
"Kobe brings it up! He steps on the Rockets logo, turns slightly sideways! Running down the clock!"
"From this far out! The Rockets don't dare double-team him! Pippen is locked onto Kobe one-on-one!"
"You little punk! There's no way you're making this shot!" Pippen's eyes burned with rage!
Kobe snorted coldly.

"The success rate of dunking over your head is!!! 100%!!!" O'Neal rose with the strength to pull up mountains and
