rick fox的八卦，PINTEREST、PTT和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

『你想要當最強，你就得永不滿足』
.
.
1997年12月17日，一場芝加哥公牛與洛杉磯湖人的比賽裡，所有人目光已經不在是輸贏，因為那場比賽Shaq O'Neal因傷缺陣，湖人難以跟公牛競爭，前三節就已經潰不成軍，套一句湖人場邊記者所講的:

"湖人先發被公牛守到不知怎麼打球了....."

.
.
Robert Horry全場投6中0、Eddie Jones只有11投1中、Rick Fox也不惶多讓僅9投2中，整個先發命中率最高的就是Elden Campbell的40%的命中率，在這樣不堪一擊的表現下，湖人早就軍心潰散，唯獨一個板凳小鬼仍舊充滿鬥志在享受逆境。

.
.

當湖人全隊都失常下，就只有二年級生Kobe Bryant一個人虎虎生風，他的存在讓湖人不至於被殺個片甲不留，整場比賽用勢不可擋的姿態20投12中狂轟33分，創下當時自己生涯的得分新高。

比賽過程中，Kobe不斷請纓對付Michael Jordan，全身上下散發出無窮鬥志，一點都不因為眼前的傢伙是全地球最強的籃球員而有所膽怯，反而更加的興奮與投入。

.
.

『他(Kobe)真的很特別又很年輕，他展現一種想後浪推前浪的氣勢，而我知道MJ喜愛這種挑戰，我想有朝一日，他(Kobe)可能會建立自己的時代。』公牛後衛Ron Harper賽後很有感的說道。

但Michael Jordan就是Michael Jordan，他不會給這小鬼輕易騎在頭上，整場也繳出36分5籃板4助攻的好成績，一點都不給Kobe專美於前，這也讓Harper笑著說:

"但我不認為MJ要讓出時代了"
"他可還沒要交出他的桂冠"
"今天他向所有人宣誓"
"他還是那個飛人喬丹"

.
.

『這就像是一個挑戰，這孩子跟我下戰帖』
『且他還很愛問我怎樣練好翻身跳投.......』

Michael Jordan在賽後接受記者訪問時這樣說。

整場比賽所有人焦點都集中在他與Kobe身上，在這一夜，兩人不斷施展精湛的步伐與技術在爭鋒相對，不管是美如畫的投籃，還是振奮人心的灌籃，每個人都陶醉在他們的對決之中。

而對於Kobe，Michael Jordan給予他很高的評價，他說:

"與他交鋒讓我感到悸動"
"能夠結合智慧與體能讓我感到興奮"
"我很高興職業生涯這麼長了"
"在對決像Kobe Bryant這樣的球員"
"我還是能有不差的表現"

『且我有一種感覺.....』
『#我好像在防守自己.....』

.
.

比賽過程裡，MJ表示Kobe會在他耳邊說話，但這不是對他噴垃圾話，而是問他技術要如何運用，要怎樣才能更有主宰力，而聽到這些時，MJ表示當下有點震驚，他說:

"我感到很震驚"
"他在比賽時問我"
"且他一直在觀察我的腳步與動作"
"然後在一些進攻裡用來對付我"
"他是一個有趣的孩子"
"就像是一塊海綿一樣"
"不過我應該要跟他收錢"

.
.

賽後記者問Kobe為何會在場上詢問MJ如何打得更好並且怎麼運用技術時，Kobe笑著說:

"他是Michael Jordan"
"歷史上最棒的球員"
"我希望盡可能跟他學習"
"他告訴我許多經驗談"
"我會因此好好琢磨的"

『而這也完全出自於我的好勝心』
『我永遠不會滿足現狀』
『如果你想成為最棒』
『你就得不斷學習』

「千古罪人」同Sir Malcolm Rifkind嘅國際級文宣！

由前港督Lord Patten of Barnes同前英國外交大臣Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind發起嘅國際聯署聲明，一個星期內由廿幾個國家嘅201個議員，依家聯署議員人數去到50國家728個議會政界人士！最壯觀不外乎係日本，不過唔該留意下嗰啲小國，例如科索沃、阿爾巴尼亞、立陶宛、斯洛伐克、緬甸等等小國，哪怕佢地得一兩個代表支持，但係以前人地國家出現問題，自問大家何曾理會過？睇完新聞下一秒就已經「哦，邊度黎㗎？」，然後食買玩揾錢唔記得...依家人地反而出黎支持...喂！簽個名有政治代價㗎，唔係應份！（本人自己都覺得有些少羞恥）

5月23號開始國際報導有19個國家（EU27國當一個）201位
5月26號30個國家284位
5月27號33個國家457位
5月28號33個國家659位
5月29號36個國家728位

肥彭見到之後表示：

"The statement shows growing and widespread international outrage at the decision by the Chinese government to unilaterally impose national security legislation in Hong Kong. The breadth of support, which spans all political parties and four continents, reflects both the severity of the situation and ongoing unified international support for the principle of one-country, two-systems."
（呢個聲明嘅簽署人數增長同國際上擴闊嘅速度，代表全世界都對中國單方面响香港行使國安法嘅不滿程度不斷增加。咁多地區同國家嘅跨黨派政界人士支持，就了解到情況有幾嚴重，同時代表國際幾咁支持香港維持「一國兩制」。）

仍然都係嗰句，728呢個唔係數字，除咗代表咗呢兩個廢國銀髮「舊電池」嘅外交文宣實力，亦表示全世界有咁多國家同地區嘅政界同民選議員，背負住佢地嘅選民支持香港（班「暴徒」）。請無知的Haters、Doubters、負能樣唔好再用簡單易分法將一個國家當係黃藍店或者偽人，剩係得「奶」同「唔奶」！因為佢地都係有名有姓，為咗尊重，係需要再重新列多次，今次長三倍！

『珍惜你所擁有的愛人』
『倘若真的失去了』
『也請堅強的放下』
『何不讓緣分來決定』

『我喜歡上那個高中拉丁女孩』
『我想我一見鍾情了.....』

1999年Kobe Bryant雖然還不是超級巨星，但已經是被外界公認下一個世代的天之驕子，未來前途一片看好，身價也早已經水漲船高，想要與他攀關係的女生不計其數，每當比賽結束，都會有許多女孩遞電話與地址給這個才剛滿20歲的小子。

而這些都會被Joe Bryant，也就是Kobe的父親給擋下，為了不讓自己兒子像不少NBA球員沉溺在花花世界裡頭，所以對於他老早就設下了保護傘，不過在不少湖人球員眼裡，這根本多此一舉，老將Rick Fox就曾說道:

"這小鬼眼裡就是籃球"
"就連我們約他去玩樂"
"他就是寧願在那練球"

-

在剛進聯盟時，Kobe曾與女歌手Brandy Norwood有過短暫的交往，之後他的感情一直是空窗期，直到他在1999年夏天抽空要去錄製自己Rap音樂錄影帶時，遇上了正在幫Snoop Dogg拍攝MV的拉丁高中女孩 - Vanessa。

根據Kobe友人表示，他就像是時間暫停凍結住一樣看著對方，同樣地那個高中女孩也是如此，緣分很奇妙的讓Vanessa闖進了Kobe的世界裡。

-

隨後Kobe就開始熱烈追求Vanessa，會去他的學校接她下課，用積極的行動想搏得美人心，但此舉也搞得她的高中雞犬不寧，不斷有媒體騷擾學校，為了就是想拍到Kobe與Vanessa的約會畫面，這也導致兩人感情事件越炒越熱。

但看在Kobe的父母眼裡，Vanessa僅不過就是個在平凡不過的高中女孩，家裡還住在貧民窟裡，完全門當戶不對，因此極力反對這段感情，並且認為Vanessa有私心，是為了兒子的金錢而來，也深怕她影響到Kobe才剛要起步的職業生涯，當時就連Phil Jackson都出來投下反對的一票。

不過Kobe就是一個偏執狂，當他想要，當他認為是對的事情時，他就是會義無反顧的做到底，所以他不故眾人反對，選擇在2001年迎娶這美嬌娘，也漸漸與父母親撕破臉。

當時就不少輿論認為Kobe的職業生涯會受到波擊，與這高中女孩交往甚至到結婚，都是一個嚴重錯誤的決定。

結果事實證明這樣的想法是大錯特錯......

-

Vanessa成為了Kobe職業生涯的最佳避風港，很快地Kobe迎來了職業生涯的冠軍三連霸踏上聯盟的最高點，但好景不常，2003年科多拉多事件重創了Kobe的形象，然而那時Vanessa選擇勇敢站出來相挺丈夫，是激勵Kobe後來重返巔峰的關鍵支撐力量。

只是Kobe長年南征北討聚少離多，許多種種原因導致雙方的感情早已有裂痕，即使已經擁有兩個愛女，最終他們還是走上離婚的路上。

2011年Vanessa簽署離婚申請書，對於自己無力挽回愛妻，Kobe在六天後也很尊重她的選擇簽上名字，並且得支付當時一半的財產7500萬美金給Vanessa。

在當時僅留下此聲明:

『為我們年幼的孩子和即將到來的聖誕節，在這我們兩人最艱難的時刻裡，懇請大家尊重我們的隱私。』

-

然而離婚並沒有讓兩人撕破臉，不管法院怎麼判，Kobe都沒有太多怨言，就連自己在洛杉磯的三間豪宅，也無條件的過戶給Vanessa，其慷慨的程度讓媒體為之傻眼，Kobe就只對外這樣表示:

"雖然我們已經離婚了"
"但我還是愛著他的"
"現在我們是好友關係"

-

而就如Kobe所說，即使已經離婚了，Vanessa還是會不時帶著女兒們去STAPLES Center去幫湖人加油吶喊，每當Kobe因為球隊狀況不佳時，Vanessa依舊是他最好的傾聽者。

或許一同經歷過太多風風雨雨，從父母不祝福、科羅拉多事件、八卦媒體炒作外遇，但他們也同樣經歷過許多幸福的事情，那一見鍾情的相遇以及從谷底攀上顛峰的互相扶持，還有最重要的是兩個小公主的誕生。

2013年1月12日，Kobe與Vanessa無預警的在社交媒體宣布復合，Vanessa在自己的IG上說:

"我很高興的宣布"
"我們已經復合了"
"離婚申訴將被撤銷"
"我們對未來充滿了期待"

-

緣分往往就是這麼奇妙的事情，在Vanessa執意要離婚時，Kobe怎麼苦苦請求都無法保住自己婚姻，但沒想到放下一切，反而愛情就這樣回來了。

-

Vanessa最終不是像當初外界所言，會是毀掉Kobe職業生涯的孽緣，反到是讓Kobe能夠心無旁騖，帶著無比自信浴火重生的關鍵，且有時，Vanessa甚至比Kobe還堅強，在阿基里斯腱斷裂時，就是Vanessa不斷在激勵自己老公。

-

就在今年，Vanessa陪Kobe走完他偉大的職業生涯，在Kobe最後一場比賽裡，見證了老公近乎完成不可能的任務，瘋狂的轟進60分，雖然這完全稱不上是Kobe心中完美的告別，但也是不完美中的最好結局。

-

而感情這種事情同樣也是無法預測結局。

一段感情不是你盡多大努力就一定會獲得回報，許多種種因素可能會讓你失去它 。

當失去了，你得選擇放手，因為就算是強求，也很難會圓滿 ; 俗話說，「是你的」就是你的，而「不是你的」，再怎麼緊握，對方也會鬆手。

如果真的愛對方，「犧牲」，選擇放手，哪怕不是你的問題，我想這才是真正的「堅強」與「勇氣」和「真愛」。

自我檢討一段已逝的感情，誰說下一個不會更好?

而你也得知道，誰說失去了就不會再回來?

Kobe與Vanessa不就是最好的例子。

-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\

這篇文章是以前特別寫給一個老粉絲的，當時他與在一起四年的女友分手，心情很難過，因此我才寫出這篇鼓勵他。

而這兩天有一個粉絲也因為分手很難過，希望我能重PO這篇舊文給他看，在此我也希望他加油，好嗎？

感情本來就是互相的，在一起時盡全力的珍惜對方，即使最後兩人無法牽手走到最後，也請給予對方祝福。

並且分手不是世界末日，真正世界末日是你的一蹶不振。

當你能在這段感情裡得到成長，我相信下一個會更好。

大家共勉之！

Allen Iverson finally shook his shadow and shook up the NBA Finals.

Hounded by unheralded Tyronn Lue, Iverson scored seven of his 48 points in a one-minute span of overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Los Angeles Lakers with a 107-101 victory in the opener of the NBA Finals.

Iverson scored 30 points in a scintillating first half, letting everyone know that the 76ers were going to be more than another pushover for the powerful Lakers. His late flurry silenced the Staples Center and unceremoniously ended Los Angeles' run at a perfect postseason.

"Anybody that bet on it, some broke people out there," Iverson said. "I'm glad nobody didn't bet their life on it 'cause they definitely would be dead right now."

Instead, the Sixers -- double-digit underdogs -- are very much alive as they again displayed their heroic heart.

"Our guys just try hard," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is kind of unexpected but it's neat."

In between Iverson outbursts, Lue stymied the NBA Most Valuable Player for nearly 20 minutes, using his quickness to prevent Iverson from even getting the ball, let alone shoot it. He had spent the last two practices impersonating Iverson and apparently got pretty good at it.

"I just try to deny him the ball as much as possible, because when he does get the ball, the best penetrator in the game is going to be hard to stop," Lue said. "We were trying to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible."

"He was holding me the whole time," Iverson said.

But the third-year reserve let his guard down for just a second and it cost the Lakers. Iverson's two free throws pulled the Sixers within 99-98 with 1:46 remaining and the Lakers called a timeout.

Lue drove and threw up a wild shot as he fell out of bounds. The Sixers rebounded and Iverson ran out in transition. With Lue nowhere in sight, he drilled a 3-pointer that gave Philadelphia the lead for good at 101-99 with 1:19 left.

"That was really the knife that wounded us," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.

Rick Fox spoiled a solid game by throwing away a pass and Iverson made a step-back baseline jumper for a 103-99 lead with 47 seconds to go.

Kobe Bryant, who shot poorly and could not defend Iverson, hit a baseline jumper with 33 seconds to play. But Eric Snow, whose runner late in the fourth quarter saved the Sixers, made a similar shot to seal it with 10 seconds left.

On the eve of his 26th birthday, Iverson made 18-of-41 shots and 9-of-9 free throws, adding six assists and five steals. Playing his first NBA Finals game, his explosion offset 44 points and 20 rebounds by Shaquille O'Neal as he won the duel between the league's last two MVPs.

The Lakers rallied from a 15-point third-quarter deficit only to blow a five-point overtime lead as they lost for the first time since April 1, a span of 20 games. They had come into this series as huge favorites, having romped through the postseason with 11 straight wins by an average of more than 15 points.

"I'm kind of relieved it's over in some ways but but it does put some pressure on us to get a win on our home court," Jackson said. "We've got to go out on Friday night and find a way to get this series tied up."

The Sixers came in with no one expecting them to win a game, let alone the series. But they used their trademark toughness to do in just one game what the weak knees of the Western Conference could not do in 11 -- beat the Lakers.

"They thought we were gonna get swept and that was like a slap in the face to us," Iverson said.

Game Two is Friday at Los Angeles. Philadelphia is trying to knock off the defending champions and win its first title in 18 years.

"Now it's a series," O'Neal said.

However, Philadelphia may have to try a little harder. Guard Aaron McKie, who did a superb job of defending Bryant, suffered a chip fracture of his right ankle but is probable for Friday.

Both Iverson and O'Neal abused a series of defenders. Iverson sent starter Derek Fisher to a permanent seat on the bench and also had his way with Bryant before Lue came on.

"You can't take anything away from Tyronn Lue," Iverson admitted. "A lot of guys go out against a player that's named MVP of the regular season and won't give it his all, act like he's scared. But he gave his team a great lift."

O'Neal met some resistance from Mutombo but manhandled Matt Geiger and Todd MacCulloch at the end of the third quarter. He made 17-of-28 shots but just 10-of-22 from the line.

Most of O'Neal's offense came against single coverage from Dikembe Mutombo, who sat down with foul trouble for most of the third quarter but still contributed 13 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks.

His presence allowed Philadelphia to swarm to Bryant, who had an awful game with just 15 points, on 7-of-22 shooting, and six turnovers.

"They got into Kobe's body, and bodied him on the dribble, stripped the ball when he picked it up," Jackson said. "He really didn't clear himself for shots very easily tonight."

Snow scored 13 points and injury-hampered Matt Geiger provided an unexpected 10 for the Sixers, who shot 48 percent (40-of-83) and missed just two of 25 free throws, which came at the worst possible time.

O'Neal's dunk off a feed from Bryant with 1:57 left in the fourth quarter gave the Lakers a 94-92 lead, their first since midway through the second period.

Snow answered with his first running jumper and the Sixers had a chance to take the lead when Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and was fouled with 34 seconds to go. But he missed both after Philadelphia had hit its first 19 from the line.

Bryant and Snow missed, sending it to overtime, where it looked like the Lakers were ready to win. O'Neal threw in a hook, Bryant spun for a layup and O'Neal split a pair from the line for a 99-94 lead.

The Sixers looked dead when Raja Bell found himself trapped in the lane with the shot clock running down. But he pivoted and threw in a scoop shot with his left hand with 2:19 remaining, sparking the comeback.

Fox scored 19 points for the Lakers, who were playing for the first time in 10 days and shot 44 percent (40-of-90).

At the start, it looked like another Lakers landslide. A 16-0 burst capped by Bryant's first basket gave Los Angeles an 18-5 lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go -- and perhaps allowed complacency to set in.

"We watched games that they played when they jumped out on guys and guys just packed it in and stopped playing," Iverson said. "But we've been like that before. We've been in games where we started off slow and ended up winning."

Iverson scored 10 points in the rest of the period, then opened the second quarter with a jumper over Bryant for a 24-23 lead.

The Lakers still held a 38-36 lead midway through the second quarter when Jackson was hit with a technical foul for arguing a non-call against Mutombo.

Iverson made the foul shot, Geiger hit two jumpers to give the Sixers the lead at 41-40 and Iverson took over from there as he scored Philadelphia's last 15 points of the half, mostly off his trademark crossover dribble.

His 3-pointer gave the Sixers a 56-48 advantage before O'Neal hammered home a miss by Bryant in the final second.

At intermission, Iverson had 30 points on 11-of-24 shooting, lighting up Bryant, who was 2-of-10 for four points with five turnovers.

"Allen really stepped it up," Brown said. "His first half was about as good as it gets."

It continued in the third quarter, as Iverson fed Jumaine Jones for an alley-oop slam, sank a jumper and dropped a layup over O'Neal for a 64-54 lead. He took a steal in for a layup and hit a fading corner shot before Eric Snow's three-point play gave the Sixers their largest lead at 73-58 with 5:23 left.

But with Mutombo on the bench, Philadelphia could not fight off O'Neal, who overpowered Geiger and MacCulloch and muscled Los Angeles back into it. He scored 14 points in the final 5:10 of the period, and with Lue shadowing Iverson, the Lakers pulled within 79-77 entering the final period.

Philadelphia led by as many as seven points early in the fourth quarter, when Mutombo picked up his fifth foul and again sat down before returning less than a minute later as Geiger fouled out.

The Los Angeles Lakers drove a stake into the heart of the Philadelphia 76ers and staked their claim as the NBA's next dynasty.

Led by Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers won their second straight title with a 108-96 victory in Game Five of the NBA Finals, completing the greatest postseason run in league history.

"A dream come true," O'Neal said. "I always knew we could do it, especially after the first one last year. I just knew that if we did what we were supposed to do that we could get it done."

"Team Shaq" has gone back-to-back, claiming its 13th championship. The Lakers did it by going 15-1, with the lone loss coming in overtime against the 76ers in the opener of this series.

That ended a 19-game winning streak, but O'Neal quickly restored order, powering the Lakers to four straight wins as he claimed his second straight NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award.

"The first championship was just to get the monkey off my back," O'Neal said. "The ones that I get from now on will just be to stamp my name in history -- as far as for myself, as far as for whatever team I'm on."

"It was an unbelievable run for us in the playoffs," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who won his eighth championship, one shy of the legendary Red Auerbach. "Their concentration was incredible during this period."

O'Neal collected 29 points and 13 rebounds in the clincher. He manhandled Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutombo, averaging 33 points, 15.8 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in the series.

"His defense is really, I think, one of the keys for us winning," Jackson said. "He was a presence inside, both offensively and defensively."

O'Neal's impact was undeniable. Not only was he an unstoppable post presence, his teammates made a record 36-of-75 3-pointers playing off him.

"I've never seen a player better in my life," 76ers coach Larry Brown said. "I mean that."

"I'm drunk," O'Neal said as he entered the interview room. "A lotta champagne."

It was a lot of O'Neal, but it wasn't all him. It only seemed that way. Philadelphia native Kobe Bryant, -- heavily booed in his hometown throughout the series -- silenced this city with something less than brotherly love.

Bryant had 26 points and 12 rebounds, shaking off a poor first half. He averaged 24.6 points and was outstanding in each of LA's four wins, perfectly complementing O'Neal -- which was not always the case during the season.

"It's a thing in the past," Bryant said. "We'll do our best to try to keep a team effort, keep a community. Hopefully, we won't have to go through what we went through this year, and I don't think we will."

The Lakers did not exactly bury the 76ers. Following the script of the entire series, they allowed a huge lead to dwindle in the fourth quarter before two 3-pointers by Derek Fisher served as dual daggers to the heart the Sixers displayed to the very end.

NBA MVP Allen Iverson scored 37 points despite suffering another injury, this one to his ribs. He averaged 35.6 points in his first Finals and allowed a basketball-crazed city to believe it could topple Tinseltown.

"Allen told me he thought he cracked some ribs," Brown said. "They X-rayed it, I don't know, they didn't find that. It's what that kid's about. He had a phenomenal year.

"And I think being in this environment on this stage, people really recognize what an unbelievable competitor he is and what a great player."

Iverson's competitive spirit got the best of him. He walked off the court as the buzzer sounded, refusing to shake hands. He also blew off the postgame media session when he saw he had to wait for Bryant.

But the "Little Guy" and a big heart were nowhere near enough for the Sixers, who struggled on offense and saw their dogged defense decimated by a dynasty.

"They got our attention during the course of this series," said Jackson.

Injury-infiltrated Philadelphia fought hard in every game, but playing uphill took its toll and the Sixers were pushed back by the 7-2, 330-pound O'Neal, a mountain of a man and the NBA's king of the hill.

"It may not seem like I'm happy on my face," O'Neal said in the interview room. "I'm also greedy and I'm not done."

"Shaq has got more in him," Jackson said. "I expect him to have more than two championships before he's finished with this game."

Rick Fox scored 20 points for the Lakers and Fisher added 18, all on 3-pointers. LA made 12-of-17 from the arc, devastating the double-teams the Sixers ran at O'Neal.

Philadelphia's Tyrone Hill had his best postseason game with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Mutombo added 13 and 11 before fouling out and Eric Snow had 13 and 12 assists.

"They came out and proved to the world that they were a defending champion," Mutombo said.

Bryant scored seven quick points early in the final period to give the Lakers a 92-74 lead. But the Sixers would not allow any early celebration, putting together another of their patented pushes.

Hill's jumper made it 93-84 with 5:24 to play but Fisher drilled a 3-pointer. Mutombo fouled out with 3:41 left, but Philadelphia kept coming as Hill's three-point play cut the deficit to 100-92 with 1:51 to go.

Snow's free throw got it a point closer, but Fisher made another from the arc to seal it with 51 seconds left. Brown pulled his weary warriors off the floor to a standing ovation that lasted until the final horn as tears welled in Iverson's eyes.

Right before tip-off, the video scoreboard showed a hilarious cartoon that depicted O'Neal as a building-crushing monster before Iverson emerged as "Underdog" to save the day.

That got the crowd going and Snow's return to the starting lineup sparked the Sixers to their first opening-quarter lead of the series, 27-24. Mutombo held O'Neal relatively in check, Snow ran the offense and Iverson scored 11 points.

Iverson also collected three fouls, going hard to the floor after a collision with Bryant with 42 seconds to go. He began the second quarter on the bench with an ice pack on his right side and spent the early part of the period trying to stretch it out while missing three straight shots.

Meanwhile, O'Neal and the Lakers found some rhythm. Robert Horry made his seventh straight 3-pointer to pull LA into a 29-29 tie and O'Neal scored eight points in less than three minutes, including a short jumper that gave the Lakers the lead for good at 36-34 with 7:57 remaining.

O'Neal dropped in an alley-oop pass from Fox and Bryant sank a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 49-40 with 3:43 left before Iverson found his stroke again. He scored six quick points to get the Sixers back in it.

The Lakers led 52-48 at halftime behind 17 points by O'Neal and six 3-pointers. Iverson scored 19 points.

Bryant, who shot 2-of-10 in the first half, got untracked as the Lakers widened the gap in a foul-filled third quarter. He scored eight points and set a tone by going to the basket and attacking the offensive boards.

O'Neal and Matt Geiger had a staredown and received technical fouls. Bryant heard the "Kobe (stinks)" chants once again, but a 3-pointer by Fisher silenced the crowd and gave LA a 78-66 advantage with 2:24 to play. The Lakers led 83-68 entering the final period.

After Kobe Bryant lost his shooting touch and Shaquille O'Neal was lost to fouls, Robert Horry made sure the Los Angeles Lakers did not lose the game.

Horry scored seven clutch points in the final minute as the Lakers again fought off the Philadelphia 76ers, 96-91, to take a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

The Lakers showed the 76ers a little bit of the toughness that has made them NBA champions. With Bryant struggling and O'Neal on the bench, they had every reason to give in to another frenetic rally by the Sixers.

But Horry would not let them. A member of the Houston Rockets title teams of 1994-95, he scored 12 of his playoff-high 15 points in the fourth quarter and saved his best for last.

"People always say that about me -- that in June, you come out and that's the only time you play," Horry said. "I guess that's either a good thing or a bad thing."

"People who watch this team know it's no surprise," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "That's why he plays fourth quarters for us, is his ability to defend and also make key shots. He was big tonight."

With O'Neal off the floor, Philadelphia went to a funky five-guard lineup and reserve Kevin Ollie's follow shot -- his only basket of the game -- became a three-point play that made it 89-88 with 1:02 remaining.

The Sixers applied pressure and the ball went to the left corner to Horry, who at 6-10 was the tallest player on the court. He drilled the shot for a 92-88 advantage with 47 seconds to go.

"That's a rhythm shot for me, something I practice all the time," Horry said. "I said, 'Hey, I get my feet set, I'm shooting this.' They got a small lineup. I know other guys can got to the boards, get the rebound."

Allen Iverson, who had 35 points, 12 rebounds and finally got back to the free-throw line, was fouled behind the arc and made all three shots to again make it a one-point game. The Sixers again pressured the ball but Horry responded with two free throws with 21 seconds left.

"We decided to try to steal and foul and hope that somebody missed a free throw," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "It didn't happen."

Iverson missed a tough driving layup as he was harassed by Horry and Bryant. A 44 percent free-throw shooter in the postseason, Horry again was fouled and made two more to seal it with 9.5 seconds to play.

"We had a chance to win," said Iverson, who made just 12-of-30 shots but 10-of-13 free throws. "We were right there. ... We kept fighting, got back into the game and we just weren't able to pull it off."

Bryant scored 32 points but made just 3-of-14 shots after halftime. O'Neal added 30 and 12 rebounds but had foul trouble in the second half, exiting with 2:21 to go. But Philadelphia could not overtake Los Angeles and gave back the home court it stole in Game One.

"All we're trying to do is just execute and no matter if the bounces go our way or the call doesn't go our way, we don't try to get down too much," Bryant said. "We try to play through it as much as we possibly can."

"We played through everything," O'Neal said. "We persevered and got a tough Game Three."

Regardless of which team jumps out to an early lead, it does not seem to matter. Each game has come down to the final two minutes and has been decided by a clutch 3-pointer -- the last two by the defending champion Lakers, who have met the challenge this series has become.

"We have players that make critical plays," said Jackson. "We're very pleased with the way we respond to pressure and the way we respond to difficult things. There's no playoffs that doesn't have its critical moments. Most games have them."

"Game One, we made some shots when we needed them down the stretch," Brown said. "Game Two, (Derek) Fisher and (Brian) Shaw made big shots. Tonight, Horry makes them. That's the difference in the series."

Game Four is here Wednesday. The Sixers have now trailed 2-1 in three straight series.

"You don't want to think about going down another game," Iverson said. "You never think that."

Dikembe Mutombo collected 23 points and 12 rebounds and Eric Snow scored 14 points for Philadelphia, which never led in the final 38 minutes.

The Lakers led 73-66 entering the fourth quarter but the whistle seemed to sound in favor of the Sixers thereafter. Iverson took just one free throw in the first three quarters and 12 in the final period. Meanwhile, O'Neal took nine foul shots in the first half and none the rest of the way.

"That changed the game," Brown said. "That allowed us to set our defense and gave us a chance to win."

Horry had a 3-pointer and a slam over Mutombo early in the period. Two free throws by Bryant gave Los Angeles an 82-73 advantage with 7:23 to go.

Iverson made a 3-pointer and O'Neal picked up his fifth foul to start the inevitable late-game push by the Sixers. Iverson's two free throws made it 86-84 with 2:47 left and O'Neal fouled out 26 seconds later trying to plow past Mutombo.

"I didn't think the best defensive player in the game would be flopping like he did," O'Neal said. "That's a shame that the referees buy into that. I wish he'd stand up and play me like a man instead of flopping and crying every time I back him down."

"He fouled out, I thought we had a chance to win the ballgame," Sixers forward Tyrone Hill said.

But Philadelphia could not sustain the momentum. Iverson and Rick Fox traded a free throw apiece and Raja Bell could not handle a pass from Iverson underneath. Bryant made a floater in the lane for an 89-85 lead with 1:17 remaining.

Bryant made 13-of-30 shots and O'Neal hit 11-of-20. The Lakers shot 47 percent (35-of-75) and held the Sixers to 41 percent (33-of-80).

Having jumped from Lower Merion High School here to the NBA five years ago, Bryant was booed the loudest during the pregame introductions. Derisive chants of "Kobe (stinks)!" began in the opening 15 seconds.

The first quarter belonged to O'Neal, who scored 14 points and left his problems at the line in LA, making 6-of-7. Iverson scored 10 and midway through the period thrilled the First Union Center when he beat a diving O'Neal to a loose ball and nimbly skipped over the 330-pound giant with a dribble.

Matt Geiger's jumper beat the buzzer and gave the Sixers a 25-25 tie before Bryant began proving the crowd wrong. With O'Neal taking a rest, he made five straight jumpers to give the Lakers a 40-30 lead, outclassing rookie Raja Bell.

"He got cooking early tonight," Bell admitted. "He started feeling it and once you let somebody with that much talent start feeling it, it's hard to control him."

Both McKie and Snow took turns on Bryant without much success. He spun inside for a layup, then drilled a 20-footer over McKie with 4:02 to go, keeping the lead at double digits.

"My teammates set good picks for me, got me open, I got easy looks at the basket," Bryant said. "It was a matter of knocking them down."

The Lakers led by as many as 13 points before settling for a 55-45 halftime advantage as Bryant and O'Neal combined for 38 points. Los Angeles shot 54 percent (21-of-39).

As he did in the second half of Game One and the first half of Game Two, Iverson did not go to the line. He finally took a technical foul shot in the third quarter, when Bryant cooled considerably and O'Neal had to sit with his fourth foul.

The Sixers clamped down on defense and rode Mutombo's offense to twice get within five points, but Bryant beat the shot clock with a 22-foot jumper late in the period.
