Su Xi glared at him.
Then, the duel began.
Su Xi executed a lightning-fast jab step. He was more athletic than Kobe, and his explosive first step was like a clap of thunder. Though Kobe was on guard, his body still rocked back reflexively.
The moment Kobe rocked back, Su Xi exploded forward, his body shooting past like a bolt of lightning.
After a single step, Su Xi pulled up for a jump shot.
Su Xi got great elevation.
Kobe's contest was perfectly timed, but it was just a fraction too late... SWISH!
The ball dropped cleanly through the net.
A two-point basket!
After the basket, Su Xi wagged his index finger at Kobe. The message was clear.
Instead of getting angry, Kobe just laughed.
But a torrent of boos rained down in the Staples Center. They couldn't stand Su Xi's disrespect toward Kobe. And what's more, they were faintly worried—worried that Su Xi might actually defeat him.
Just then, a hefty, uninvited guest joined the TNT broadcast booth.
It was Shaquille O'Neal.
