???? Jordan and Rodman played the pick-and-roll again, this time it was Eddie Jones and Kobe changed to Pippen.

???? Chickhearn sighed: “I always think Kobe is a contradictory complex. He has offensive strength far surpassing other players, but he loves assists. He is at a vigorous age, but his style of play is so sophisticated. Sometimes it’s really hard to believe that he is only nineteen years old.”

???? If it’s other players, Jordan’s defense is fine, but now there is a problem. Although Kobe had made long-range three-pointers before, most of them occasionally did it in the regular season. This also created an illusion for others. Kobe successfully retained his super long-range three-pointer to the finals.

???? How can Pippen think that someone would throw this kind of ball continuously, this is simply a joke, when he wants to come forward and interfere. Turning around to see the basketball draw a hollow arc like a rainbow into the net, this ultra-long three-pointer actually made it again. 19:34.
???? Zhang Yangyi exclaimed: “Another one! Kobe is the rhythm of throwing the Bulls to death. This young man is terrible, the Bulls players are already stupid.”
