Kobe wiped his sweat. His previous defense was flawless, and he did his best with every step, but his effort didn't bring him any reward.
Will he be discouraged because of this?
No, he will make Roger feel the same pain!
Lakers on the offense, Steve Nash initially intended to pass the ball to Kobe, but seeing that his defender switched from Roger to Tayshaun Prince, he waved and called for Karl Malone to set a screen.
But the Little Prince's ability to bypass screens is also impressive. Although his defensive aggression is not as strong as Roger's, his extensive defensive coverage constantly kept Nash in check.
Nash isn't the type who prefers forced shots. In this situation, his first option is to pass the ball to someone more reliable.
Kobe, who ran outside the three-point line, received the basketball, with Roger closely guarding him.
The duel between the star players continues!
