Grant Hill was pinned down, but Kobe had already shaken off Pippen and cut inside.
He used a beautiful bounce pass to send the ball through the gap between Roger and Bowen, and Kobe caught the basketball and jumped directly for the basket.
In the air, Kobe confronted Big Ben, stabilized his center of gravity, and confidently tossed the ball.
Despite the confrontation, Kobe was quite confident about this shot, with a high probability of making it.
However, once again, Roger appeared in time and swatted the rising basketball away.
In this round, Roger effectively managed to help defend against both Grant Hill and Kobe simultaneously.
Pippen picked up the ball, and he used all his strength to dribble quickly forward, but even so, Kobe easily caught up and tangled with him.
