Chapter 201 The Insidious Robert Horry
The Spurs attack.

Unknowingly, Parker speeded up, and broke into the encirclement of the Heat, and was directly encircled and suppressed.

After Wade steals, one-stop layup.

63: 57.

Ginobili took the ball and advanced quickly, shaking old Jones in the frontcourt, and then took a jumper.

Bang!

Unfortunately, still not.

During this period of time, the Spurs were unknowingly held by the nose by the Heat and played a little fast.

The Spurs players are not quite used to this rhythm, their shooting percentage is not high, and their rebound protection is not good enough.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and immediately found Li Lei who was feeling hot.

Li Lei advanced quickly.

Ginobili jumped up to defend.

Li Lei had a time lag and pulled it up before Ginobili approached.

Swish!
still have!
66: 57.

"The touch of the stone is really hot! No matter how you throw it, it will be there."

At the broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun explained with a smile.

And Popovich jumped up directly, yelling at the players on the sidelines: "What the hell are you doing? Defense? Offense? Nothing, why don't you roll back and sit on the bench. You fucking made me think: I'm coaching a bunch of damn women!"

Popovich in his early years was quite brutal.

It is said that Parker was often scolded and cried by Popovich.

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili took the ball to attack, and he pressed the rhythm to let his teammates take a breath and stabilize.

With Ginobili in the lineup, the Spurs resumed patient handovers and moves.

Unfortunately, Parker missed the last open shot.

On the contrary, Li Lei continued to take the ball to force Manu Ginobili.

Because of Li Lei's consecutive shots, Ginobili was highly nervous.

With a feint, Li Lei shook Ginobili up.

Li Lei took the opportunity to enter the paint area.

Duncan jumped out to make up the defense, Li Lei made a wonderful pass to O'Neal, and O'Neal easily scored with a layup.

68: 57.

With Li Lei's outbreak, the Heat quickly opened the point difference to double digits.

The American Airlines Center arena was boiling.

Drip!

Just then, Popovich called a timeout.

The first is to cool down Li Lei's touch, and the second is to adjust the lineup and strengthen the defense.

The on-site commentary analyzed: "Parker and Ginobili's defense is not very good. They are too thin and keep them on the field at the same time. The Spurs' defense is very difficult. Duncan and Bowen have to waste a lot of energy. Make up the defense, which affects the Spurs' offense."

The guest nodded again and again: "It's not obvious to play against other teams, but against a team like the Heat that can attack with three cores, Parker + Ginobili's backcourt has been blown tonight."

This is actually one of the reasons why Ginobili will be a substitute in the future.

When it comes to Ginobili, fans have the impression that he is the greatest sixth man in history.

In fact, in recent seasons, Ginobili has been the unshakable starter for the Spurs.

After returning from the timeout, Popovich really made adjustments.

Exit Rasu and Parker, enter Brent Barry and Robert Horry.

The Spurs' lineup became: Duncan, Horry, Bowen, Barry, Ginobili.

In this lineup, the 198cm Manu Ginobili cameo in the first position.

The height of the Spurs has been directly improved, coupled with the defense of Horry and Barry, the defense of this lineup is very strong.

The game continues.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan attracted double-teams in the low post and split the ball out.

A group of veterans such as Barry, Horry, and Bowen patiently handed over and sent opportunities.

Horry made a two-pointer and made a direct shot.

Swish!
68: 59.

He can make meritorious deeds as soon as he comes up. Horry, who looks lazy, is actually very capable, and he is the top role player.

The Heat attack.

Wade failed to squeeze Ginobili and called Li Lei to come up for the pick-and-roll.

Relying on Li Lei's cover, Wade took the opportunity to get rid of Ginobili, but Bowen decisively switched defenses and blocked Wade.

Barry also approached here very experiencedly, forcing Wade to pass the ball.

Wade quickly points the ball to Haslem.

But when Haslem was about to receive the ball, Horry elbowed Haslem in the lower abdomen.

Haslem was in pain and curled up at the time.

Horry took the opportunity to steal and grabbed the ball.

Pat Riley jumped up all of a sudden, complained loudly to the referee, and signaled Horry to elbow.

However, Horry is experienced, and the elbow avoids the referee's sight.

The referee didn't see it, so naturally he wouldn't blow it.

And Haslem quickly steadied himself and rejoined the fray, seemingly unscathed.

Li Lei also ran over to inquire about Haslem's situation, and he was relieved when he saw that Haslem was fine.

"Shh!"

American Airlines Center arena sounded boos, Miami fans strongly expressed their dissatisfaction.

The referee felt the pressure and sweated slightly on his forehead.

And Huo Li, who was elbowed out, had a calm face, as if the incident just now had nothing to do with him.

The ball also affected the Heat's defense. Ginobili snaked through, easily tore the Heat's defense, and scored 2 points for a layup.

68: 61.

And in the next round, the Heat didn't make an open shot.

"You can't play like this! The mentality of the Heat has been affected by Horry."

In the broadcast booth, Su Qun frowned.

Zhang Weiping was also worried: "Speaking of which, the Heat are still young. After all, Stone, Wade, and Haslem are only sophomores, and Horry is an old bastard... the old guy is very good at destroying the opponent's mentality."

The Spurs took the opportunity to play another wave of defensive counterattacks.

68: 63.

After Horry and Barry played, the Spurs scored 6 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to 5 points.

There was a commotion in the American Airlines Center arena. No matter how insidious Horry used, he really restricted the Heat.

Drip!

Pat Riley immediately called a timeout.

"Boys, that's what Robert Horry does on the court. And the best way to beat him is to throw the ball in and stop him from scoring. Horry's nothing but these shady tricks. And… ..."

Riley continued: "Protect yourself, be careful of Horry, and even more careful of Bowen!"

In the league, Bowen's notoriety is greater than that of Horry.

Kicking Szczerbiak in the face almost cost the "handsome guy" his career.

Carter stepped on three times and was chased and beaten by Carter. After Carter was seriously injured, his physical ability dropped significantly.

In addition, McGrady, Francis, Nash, Kobe, Iverson, Ray Allen, Crawford, Stoudemire... have all encountered Bowen's plot more or less.

Pause back, and the game continues.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei got rid of Bowen with the cover of his teammates, and Wade's pass was immediately in place.

Li Lei jumped up and voted.

Barry rushed over to help defend, giving enough interference.

Li Lei almost resisted Barry's oppression and made a fallback jumper.

This ball is very difficult.

But... Whoa!

Got it!

70: 63.

After two timeouts in a row, Li Lei's touch was still hot, and he could still make such a difficult shot.

All Miami fans raised their hands high and "worshiped" Li Lei.

Riley finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili snakes through.

Haslem actively help defend, to help Wade block Ginobili.

Ginobili has quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball to Horry.

As soon as Horry received the ball, a figure had already jumped in front of him.

Li Lei!

Horry missed the shot and had to look for another chance.

Li Lei directly stuck to it, pressed fiercely, and cut the ball with his long arms.

After the steal, Li Lei made a fast break by himself, stormed up against Ginobili in the frontcourt, and smashed the ball into the basket hard.

boom!
Buckle!

72: 63.

Li Lei is really unreasonable tonight, his offensive and defensive performances are very explosive.

Seeing that the score was about to reach double figures again, the American Airlines Center Arena was boiling again.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan beat Haslem in the low post, turned around and rushed to the basket.

Haslem's height and strength are at a disadvantage, and he is not Duncan's opponent at all.

Moreover, Duncan deliberately avoided Li Lei's side this time, and Li Lei couldn't help defending.

Near the basket, Duncan made a sudden stop and shot directly.

Snapped!
At this moment, Wade fell from the sky and slapped Duncan's shot out of the baseline.

The Heat are not the only "defense monster" like Li Lei.
