Chapter 230 Winning G1
Horry was directly expelled for a second-level malicious foul!
Huo Li's punch didn't hurt Ye Heping, in fact, it's okay to blow one level.

But just after the referee gave a warning, you shot, and the referee felt that his authority had been challenged.

In addition, David Stern is preparing to introduce a zero-tolerance rule, intending to maintain the authority of the referee, and it is a matter of course to play the second level.

Not even if it's the Spurs' home court.

It takes two first-level fouls to be expelled, and second-level malicious fouls are expelled once. The meaning is completely different.

This means that the Spurs will lose Horry, the main rotation player, in the second half of the game.

Don't look at Horry as a role player, but he is very important to the Spurs, and his function is irreplaceable by others.

In this round of the Western Conference Finals series in his previous life, he averaged 31 minutes per game. He was the team with the fourth most playing time on the Spurs, second only to the three cores of GDP. He averaged 10.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 47.4%.

And Horry’s role is not limited to these statistics. He can hit key shots, is more stable than Ginobili and Parker, and is also very strong defensively. He can defend the 3rd and 4th positions very well. The pick-and-roll effect is also the best at the 4th position of the Spurs.

In addition, some of his shady methods, such as abolishing McGrady in the second round, are of greater value.

The SBC Center (2002-2006 Spurs home) was in an uproar, and San Antonio fans booed against the referee's call.

But Horry's action was so obvious that everyone saw it, and the referee took the penalty with peace of mind and didn't panic at all.

Later, the Lakers will get two free throws.

Popovich took this opportunity to call a timeout first, and a general was expelled. He had to appease the morale of the army, which was a trivial matter for him.

He just couldn't figure it out, Huo Li, an old football ruffian, has always been a sinister person, how could Ye Heping give it to him this time?

I asked Horry just now, but Horry ignored him and walked directly into the player tunnel.

That's not Horry's character.

On the Lakers side, the players also excitedly patted Ye Heping on the shoulder and expelled Horry from the game. This meant a lot to the Lakers and was definitely good news.

Some people excitedly asked Ye Heping how he did it, and they didn't understand that a veteran football ruffian like Horry was actually planted in the hands of a rookie.

But Ye Heping's complexion was not good-looking, he was not excited at all because he was overcast with Huo Li, but his face was full of seriousness.

"Sorry, I don't want to talk about this!"

When the teammates saw Ye Heping's expression, they stopped asking.

Only Divac put his arms around Ye Heping and comforted him: "The stadium is like a battlefield, and all means are for victory. You don't need to blame yourself. Besides, Horry is not a good thing. How many people he has harmed, he deserves it!"

Even if Ye Heping doesn't say anything, he can probably guess what's going on.

Ye Heping nodded softly. Everyone understands the truth, but no one can easily do it.

One is that he is still angry at Huo Li for insulting his motherland and family, and the other is that he is also ashamed of what he has done.

It is disgraceful to use a little girl who is suffering from illness as a weapon, no matter what the reason.

Ye Heping didn't want to do this, but after all, he still lived in a way he didn't like.

Later, Ye Heping missed both free throws, which is absolutely rare for him who made more than 90% of his free throws, and the Lakers bench was also in an uproar.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Frank asked Ye Heping to rest for a while at the suggestion of Divac.

As the game progressed, the disadvantages of Horry's absence began to be exposed.

Odom returned to the fourth position and pulled to the outside to single out Muhammad.

And Muhammad has already proved that he can't guard Ye Heping, and he can't guard Odom.

After Odom once again scored on Muhammad, Popovich could only let Duncan come out to defend Odom.

But as soon as Duncan leaves the basket, Kobe can attack the basket unscrupulously, and Muhammad can't guard the basket at all when facing Peter Pan.

Popovich shook his head helplessly, he knew Muhammad was no longer available.

The Lakers have been targeting Muhammad throughout the game, and he has become a loophole for the Spurs.

If you can't keep up with the opponent's speed when you go out, and you can't guard the basket when you stay alone, what's the use of this.

Muhammad played very well in the first two rounds of the playoffs, but now he is showing his true colors. The key lies in the versatility of the Lakers' [-]th position.

When it comes to the offensive end, Muhammad has no independent offensive ability, not even a mid-range shot.

Compared with Hori, Muhammad's functionality is still too poor.

Later, Popovich replaced Muhammad with Nesutrovich and played a double-tower tactic.

But Nesutlovic's state is still sluggish, and he has been out of state since his return from injury. The previous two rounds of playoffs were played in garbage time.

After he came on the field, he was completely out of the Spurs' tactical system, and was sent off the field for two fouls soon.

At this moment, Popovich began to miss Malik Rose.

(Malik Rose was the bargaining chip for Muhammad.)
Rose is a stocky insider, not as good as Muhammad in rebounding and defense, but he can defend and move fast, just the kind that can keep up with Odom and Ye Heping, and he is also very suitable for pick-and-roll defense.

Of course, if Horry hadn't been expelled, he wouldn't have missed Rose either.

He really couldn't figure out what method Ye Heping used to make such an experienced football ruffian like Huo Li lose his mind and be expelled from the game.

The worse the Spurs played, the more obsessed he was with the problem.

Throughout the second half, Popovich was still unable to solve the problem of the fourth position (Duncan played at the fifth position), and the Lakers focused on this and slowly expanded their advantage.

At 95:87 in the final game, the Lakers won Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, leading 0:[-].

奥多姆发挥出色，砍下了湖人全队最高的32分8篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽，科比30分7篮板6助攻3抢断2盖帽，叶和平15分8篮板5助攻3抢断6盖帽三人合砍77分。

马刺这边，邓肯29分15篮板3助攻5盖帽，吉诺比利22分4篮板5助攻，帕克18分2篮板7助攻GDP也联手砍下69分。

The core players on both sides played very well, but the Lakers won the final victory.

Everyone knows that the turning point of the game was when Horry made a move and was ejected.

And what happened between him and Ye Heping has become something that everyone wants to know.
