226: Hey, it's hard to win with such a burden, isn't it? (Vote for me with your monthly ticket!)_2

They were chatting when suddenly, the booing the crowd transformed into cheers.

The Lakers players began their warm-up on the court.

As soon as Shaquille O'Neal stepped onto the court, he stared straight at Roger, exuding a heavy murderous intent.

Kobe was also eyeing Pierce with those viper-like eyes, chilling to the bone.

Pierce and Roger were like two longhorn deer lost on the African savannah, already targeted by the hungry hunters.

It goes without saying that Roger and Shaq had their differences.

Kobe also had strong opinions about Pierce.

In the eyes of the media, Kobe was O'Neal's little brother, and Pierce was Roger's little brother.

They were inevitably compared with each other.

Kobe wouldn't allow the media to compare someone like Pierce with himself.

He was going to show the whole world today that his true rival was Roger.
