This time, when Su Xi drove past, Carl Malone slammed right into him, using his powerful body to knock Su Xi off balance, nearly sending him sprawling to the floor.
TWEET!
The head referee blew his whistle. Defensive foul.
Carl Malone raised his right hand, acknowledging the foul.
But when he turned his face, he looked at Su Xi with a grin, full of mockery and provocation.
His posture clearly said, 'I'll take the foul, but I'm going to keep doing it.'
"Fucking idiot,"
Su Xi muttered, then walked to the sideline to take the inbound pass from Artest. Before Kobe could stick to him, he launched a quick drive, penetrating deep into the paint with Kobe in pursuit.
Just as O'Neal moved to help on defense, Su Xi came to a sudden stop. Kobe and O'Neal closed in on him at the same time.
But Su Xi seized the fleeting opportunity, passing the ball through O'Neal's legs. Foster caught the ball, leaped up... and BANG!
He threw down a ferocious dunk.
