The sound quality is poor. I had to wear noise-cancelling headphones to make it out.

0125

[Somebody, goaf?] rebounds off to Shaq; that might go from four feet; it does; turn-around jumper ..


0145

They give the ball to van Ecktel; [something or somebody] underneath for the slam dunk by Shaq.

0306

Break; Kobe faked the pass; the defender went for the pass; I'll tell you who this car(?) this one is Kobe; Kobe s... [somebody] this in the air; brings it out to Kobe; his three-pointer on the way is good; what a nice rotation etc.

0325

Gordon, now he advances to the front court; and that is Kobe Bryant; nice! Bounce underneath to Rook; that's a heck of a pass; and Rook scores on a bank shot going to the hole.

That's my final version -- the best I can do.

Thanks very much. It seems I should choose a better material for learning next time.
 
Yes, I think you should. The game is moving rapidly and the situation changes from second to second. The announcers have to speak quickly. They may muff a word here and there, and even native speakers nay fail to hear something. But in the context of a basketball game that is not important.
