O'Neal finally seized an opportunity, catching Kidd's pass under the basket and slamming it down with both hands.
The Trail Blazers relaxed their defense on this play, not fearing O'Neal's rampage inside as long as the Lakers didn't rain threes from the perimeter.
On the offensive end, the Trail Blazers leisurely slowed down the pace, seeking scoring opportunities while dragging out time.
Gan Guoyang continued to move around the arc and at 45 degrees, attracting the Lakers' defensive attention, but the ball control was in the hands of Kobe and other perimeter players.
At this moment, the Trail Blazers players were very relaxed, and Kobe started showing off fancy crossovers, followed by a beautiful mid-range jump shot!
Brick!
But Barkley grabbed the offensive rebound, threw the ball out, and reorganized the attack.
This kind of rebound deepened the sense of despair in the field, with time gradually ticking away.
