Shattering Time (4K)

June 19, 1999, Great Western Forum, Los Angeles.

This was the City of Angels!

The eyes of the entire world were gathered here! Countless media outlets surrounded every corner of the arena, conducting interviews and recording everything!

Spotlights flashed!

Countless fans erupted in cheers like they were celebrating a festival!

The stars of this stage slowly stepped off the team bus.

Kobe wore a sharp, all-black suit and sunglasses.

Blackwater's burly security guards kept the reporters and paparazzi at a distance.

"Kobe, the Hornets' counterattack is definitely going to be fierce this game!" Byron Scott walked alongside Kobe, analyzing the shape this game would take.

"I know." Kobe understood that Jordan, the Zen Master, and Rodman were not the kind of people who gave up easily.

Their willpower was likely stronger than that of any opponent Kobe had ever faced!

This game was their last stand! They would probably stop at nothing to take this win!

"Shaq, can you keep up that kind of touch from the free-throw line this game?" Kobe glanced at O'Neal.

Hard to say. If O'Neal could maintain a seventy percent free-throw percentage, his historical standing would probably rise another tier.

They could not pin the key to victory on O'Neal's free throws!

To win steadily, they had to build a lead of more than fifteen points before the fourth quarter!

"I'm afraid several of their key players will have to play more than forty minutes this game—maybe even the entire game. Be prepared."

Hill had played all forty-eight minutes in the previous game.

An iron man!

At thirty-six, Jordan had also played forty-two minutes.

He repeatedly drove to the basket for thunderous dunks! He grabbed powerful rebounds!

It was as if the years had left no mark on him!

MJ was probably going all out
