With 33 seconds left in the game, Kobe Bryant held the ball in the mid-post position.
At this moment, his lower body was no longer as stable. Roger was constantly applying pressure on his lower body, locking Kobe's legs tightly.
Kobe knew that his legs could no longer allow him to perform a graceful fadeaway, so after receiving the ball, he slowly faced the basket and dribbled between his legs to find his rhythm.
"Pa-pa," after two crisp sounds, he made a step to the left and then stopped abruptly for a jump shot.
However, a jump shot also requires strong lower body support.
His legs were in pain, and his muscles were on the verge of cramping.
But Kobe still squeezed out the last bit of strength.
He had endured so many seasons of humiliation, losing to Roger so many times. Ten years, over 3,000 days of waiting, wasn't it all for this moment?
Now, the opportunity had arrived, and he certainly couldn't let it slip away!
