112. The Overshadowed All-Star MVP

Kobe had indeed gotten serious!

His dribbling pull-up shot just now was learned from McGrady, more difficult than the triple-threat pull-up shot but also harder to defend because there is almost no preliminary movement, which could catch even top defenders off guard.

It wasn't that there was no movement at all, just now his upper body pressed down slightly, and his feet tiptoed a bit, but because he was holding the ball, even if an opponent noticed, most would think he was about to start a power drive or cross-step dribble unless they observed that his feet were not staggered but parallel…

Clearly, the rookie opposite had noticed! That's why he could almost jump at the same time!

From the timing and positioning of his interference, it couldn't possibly be a coincidence.

So, this rookie has the potential to become a top defensive player...

His offensive talent had already been displayed, and now he has such great defensive talent too.
