Kobe never treated this society so kindly. His past and present experience gave him a deep understanding of the principle that harm is indispensable and defensive is indispensable. Seeing that Jordan, Rodman and others have red eyes, Kobe immediately reduced his breakthrough, focusing on outside shots and assists.

Jordan dribbled the ball and Judd Bujcler seemed to have lost his presence on both ends of the offense and defense in these rounds.
