Su Xi had 14 points.
The gap between the two hadn't actually widened.
So, Su Xi wasn't worried at all.
During halftime, Kobe specifically trash-talked Su Xi, "Your title as the league's number one player is a joke."
Su Xi laughed and said, "Right now you're acting like a jilted easy-girl."
Kobe flew into a rage. He actually jumped on Su Xi's back, grabbed his neck, and shook him hard a couple of times to vent his frustration.
If they hadn't always been on such good terms, the head referee would have really thought they were starting a fight.
Su Xi threw him off and said, "Vanessa will definitely get mad if she sees you like this."
"What would she be mad about?"
"She'd say, 'You have the energy to shake other men, but you don't know to come home and shake me...'"
After saying this with a laugh, Su Xi quickly ran towards the locker room.
Kobe was seething.
Just then, a TNT sideline reporter quickly pulled him aside.
