After the start of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant broke out, and he shot and used a few free throws to open the game by himself, and he single-handedly scored the first 7 points of the Lakers, and caught the Magic off guard.

However, the Magic still recovered under O'Neal's continuous strong beatings, and they set off a counterattack.

Tony then stepped up, and he deftly turned away from O'Neal without the ball, and Fisher quickly threw the ball directly into the air, and Tony made an aerial connection.

After the successful air catch, Tony seemed very excited, he waved his fist vigorously and yelled loudly, which also directly drove the atmosphere of the audience.

"Don't get too complacent, boy." O'Neill walked over Tony and deliberately bumped Tony, and said coldly.

O'Neal deliberately used a little force, Tony was knocked to the ground and took a step back, Tony was not to be outdone, he pushed O'Neal away, "You want to cause trouble?" ā€

O'Neill smiled disdainfully, "Trouble? Boy, you're not qualified enough! ā€

In the next round, O'Neal took the initiative to ask for the ball, he received the ball and forced Tony to the basket, and then put the basket to win, he originally wanted to dunk a basket directly on Tony's head, but Tony carried him to death, so that he could not jump too high.

Kobe Bryant's hand in this quarter was explosive, and by the halfway point of the third quarter, he had scored 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting, and Wilkins simply defended him as a Jordan.

Coupled with Toney's desperate defense, O'Neal's physical strength was too fast, and his shooting percentage gradually began to decline, and the Lakers gradually established an advantage in the third quarter.

By the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had a seven-point lead over the Magic, 79-72. Among them, Kobe Bryant shot 7 of 9 in a single quarter and scored 19 points, almost single-handedly leading the team to overtake the score.

Of course, Toney's contribution on the defensive end also contributed to it, and his desperate efforts greatly drained O'Neal's physical strength, so that the Magic's Hill coach had to replace O'Neal again, which made the Magic's offensive threat a lot less.

Entered the fourth quarter with a lead, and the Magic did not put O'Neal on the court, they wanted to let O'Neal rest for a while, so that the Lakers relaxed for a while, Kobe Bryant was replaced by Harris, he played for too long, and he also needed to rest, although Tony took advantage of this stage to cut a few more points, but the weakness of the Lakers' outside defense allowed the Magic's breakthrough hand to easily burst into the Lakers' restricted area.

Toney's pressure suddenly increased, and he also paid two fouls to make up for the defense, and the Magic also took the opportunity to narrow the gap to 3 points, which made Harris quickly call a timeout.

Harris rebuked several of the Lakers' outside players and asked them to strengthen their defense, but he still kept Tony, who had already committed four fouls, on the court, and the game was too critical for the Lakers to provide support on the inside.

Although Tony didn't take a minute off for the whole game, he silently went on the court when he saw Harris's hopeful eyes.

To be honest, he is really tired, there is no way, and then the Magic will definitely release the rested O'Neal, if he doesn't go, the Lakers' interior line will be blown up even worse.

Sure enough, after this pause, O'Neal returned to the court, and seeing that Tony was still on the court, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, this guy's resilience is really good.

However, on the court, of course, he will not let go of the water because Tony is tired, on the contrary, O'Neal, who has recovered his strength, shows a stronger desire to attack.

Tony also felt that he was gradually unable to resist O'Neal's attack, and he did not dare to foul him because he had already carried 4 fouls, which made O'Neal even more comfortable.

Finally, with a mid-range shot from Brian Shaw, the Magic took the lead again, but fortunately, Jones also broke through and caused a foul, and he hit one of two free throws to tie the score at 89-89.

"Coach, let me play!" Kobe Bryant looked at the tense situation, and he took the initiative to ask for battle.

Harris looked at the time, and Kobe Bryant had rested for a few minutes, he nodded, and took advantage of Jones' free throws to replace Kobe Bryant.

Seeing Kobe Bryant on the court, Tony's eyes were also relieved, and now in this situation, Kobe Bryant is too needed to score on the court.

Kobe's feeling did not fade with the break, whenever the Magic launched an offensive, the Lakers relied on Kobe Bryant to continue to score points, and even one ball he still threw the ball into the basket under the bag of the Magic.

Kobe Bryant has gone completely crazy, 32 points, 34 points, 36 points, 37 points, as he hits again and again, his scoring data keeps rising, and the Magic's outside group of several people add up to that Kobe Bryant's helplessness.

Seeing Kobe's madness, Tony's heart naturally soared, and he fought hard and started to compete with O'Neal again.

The Magic team can't stop Kobe, but fortunately O'Neal is here, he can still score to help the team bite the score, however, under Kobe's fierce attack, he can only see how to bite the score, and it is still extremely difficult to overtake, and in addition, Tony's defense has been strengthened, so that his offense has suffered some difficulties again.

When there were 18 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers had a 1-point advantage at 100:99, and the Magic's ball possession depended on this last ball.

Bryan Shaw dribbled the ball carefully, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, and this last attack was the result of the game, and he had to be cautious.

Toney pestered O'Neal to prevent him from having a chance to catch the ball, and at such moments, the consequences of letting O'Neill receive the ball were fatal.

Fisher and Kobe Bryant were staring at Shaw, Bryant was keeping an eye on Shaw's passing lane, looking for a tackle, and Fisher and Shaw kept a body distance to avoid being broken by Shaw.

Time was dwindling, and the end of the game was getting closer and closer.

At this time, O'Neal, who was fighting with Tony on the weak side, suddenly changed direction and ran, and he threw off Tony.

Brian Shaw got the ball into O'Neal just in time.

It's over!!!

With only five seconds left, O'Neal received the ball and was unguarded.

O'Neill was overjoyed and won.

He held the ball with both balls, plucked the onions on dry land, and dunked!

Suddenly, he felt a hint of danger, no!!

O'Neal's face changed, but it was too late, and his hand suddenly sank as he was rising, and he looked up to see that one of Tony's big hands was pressed on the basketball.

"Smack!"

The basketball was fanned.

O'Neal's dunk slam was risked by Tony!

Bryant rushed over and grabbed the basketball before Wilkins and Strong.

"Drop"

The red light on the rebound comes on, and the game is over.
