Chapter 233 The Big Competition of Small Moves

After Duncan covered, he went straight down, received Parker's pass and went to the penalty area to kill.

Atkins couldn't resist at all, and was pushed away by Duncan in an instant, and the Lakers could only be forced to shrink and block Duncan.

Duncan glanced out of the corner of his eye and decisively passed the ball to Horry in the corner.

Horry's wide-open three-pointer can be adjusted with ease before shooting.

But Horry's movements were extremely blunt, with a very poor sense of rhythm, and he made a three-point shot.

There was an uproar.

It is uncommon for NBA players to miss open shots, and it is even rarer for a veteran like Horry to fail to make shots.

Mihm received the rebound and the Lakers attacked.

The Lakers also play pick-and-rolls here, and Mihm screens for Kobe and then pans to the mid-range.

Kobe made a fake pass, but accelerated to break through by himself. Duncan was also deceived and failed to stop Kobe.

Kobe went straight in.

Horry on the flank can intercept, but his pace is obviously slower.

That's not to mention, after Kobe soared into the air, Horry actually made a move to pull someone.

It was nothing more than a pull, but he was a little hesitant, not decisive enough, so he didn't hold back.

Either don't pull it, or pull it hard.

Pulling people and not being decisive, this is a mistake that rookies make, and an experienced veteran should not make such a low-level mistake.

Drop drop!
Bang!
The referee whistled, and at the same time, Kobe completed a dunk.

A record of 2+1.

Kobe made a solid free throw.

3: 0.

A 3-point difference is nothing, but Horry's performance this round is simply eye-catching.

The open three made a three-way shot, and the defensive end hesitated, doing stupid things that rookies would do.

Here is 6 points inside and outside.

The commentary booth is discussing how Horry played like this tonight.

In fact, not only they don't understand, Popovich doesn't understand either.

Before the game, Horry was in very good condition. He looked like he was going to have a big game at night. He scored 30 three-pointers in the warm-up training and felt hot.

Only Ye Heping understood why Huo Li was in such a bad state. It seemed that this guy really cherished his daughter.

Thinking of this, the softest part of Ye Heping's heart was touched.

Sure enough, no matter how bad a person is, he also has a warm side.

Horry's poor form is a good thing for the Lakers, but Ye Heping is not happy.

The conversation he had with Huo Li just now was just to make Huo Li dare not do evil things to him, not to make Huo Li become like this.

This is not his kind of basketball!
Taking advantage of Kobe's free throw, Ye Heping approached Huo Li again: "Old guy, is that all you can do? Are you scared?"

Huo Li stared at Ye Heping fiercely: "What do you want?"

"If you can guard me, or beat the Lakers, I promise not to touch your daughter. But if you continue to play like this, believe it or not, I can do anything?"

Ye Heping led Huo Li forward.

Huo Li was so angry that his face was contorted, he stared at Ye Heping and said, "Are you begging for abuse?"

He began to wonder if Ye Heping had a tendency to be masochistic, and he took the initiative to let others mess with him.

"Just you?"

Ye Heping sneered, and continued to provoke Huo Li: "Aside from playing black hands, what else do you have? You are useless at all?"

Huo Li was so angry that he grinned: "Then you have a try and see how much ability I have!"

Huo Li made up his mind. Since Ye Heping asked for it, he has nothing to worry about.

He is a key man who has won championship rings in three teams. Although he is not the core, they are all important rotations. He has experienced two consecutive championships with the Rockets and the Lakers dynasty. He has played at least the second round of the playoffs every year in his career.
If you choose one of the greatest role players in NBA history, Horry may not be the first, but he is definitely in the top three.

The game continues and the Spurs attack.

Duncan and Parker continued to play the pick-and-roll, and Duncan followed Parker's pass and went into the penalty area.

Under the interference of the Lakers, he missed a small throw.

Two teams of muscular men grab rebounds.

Ye Heping went inside to kill, but was suddenly caught by a figure. He resisted enough, and with some small movements, he pressed his knee on Ye Heping's calf, preventing Ye Heping from jumping with all his strength.

Robert Horry, the old guy's experience and skills are really not covered.

With Horry's help, plus Duncan's bravery, he snatched an offensive rebound from the top three of the Lakers abruptly, and then tricked Mihm with a fake move, hit a rhythmic hook, and caused Mihm to foul.

Duncan returned a 2+1.

However, his free throws were not very good, and he failed to make additional free throws, scoring 2+0.

The score is 3:2.

Popovich on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief. Duncan's greatness doesn't need to be said, but Horry's performance just now reassured him.

The old guy who played dead in the regular season and exploded in the playoffs is back.

The game continues, the Lakers attack.

The Lakers also continued to play pick and roll.

After Kobe broke through Duncan and went inside, Horry was prepared to stop Kobe this time.

With Horry's help, Duncan followed in time, and the two made dumplings for Kobe.

Bryant can only be forced to pass.

Ye Heping received the ball, but before he could make a shot, Huo Li defended back again.

The old guy's strength is at a disadvantage in the 4th position, but his mobility is really excellent.

Ye Heping tried to single Huo Li, but the old guy was so fierce that he greeted Ye Heping with various tricks in the area where the referee could not see.

Ye Heping's independent offensive ability is limited, and he encountered such a big interference, and the final shot was seriously missed.

Huo Li sneered endlessly: "Rookie, now you know how powerful the old man is?"

After being suppressed by Ye Heping for so long, he has suffered losses since the regular season. This is the first time he has gained the upper hand, and he is very happy.

"Why, do you want to say that small movements are not allowed? Then I don't need it, let you!"

When Huo Li was in a good mood, he also used the aggressive method.

"No need!"

Ye Heping knew that it was an aggressive method, but small moves were part of the game, and it was different from black hands.

As long as the referee didn't catch it, it was reasonable, and Ye Heping had no reason to refuse.

"But... hehe!"

Ye Heping sneered twice. Old Huo Li's little action made him feel uncomfortable and painful, and Ye Heping's fierceness was also aroused.

Spurs attack.

Parker's iconic spinning top spun away from Atkins and faced Mihm's supplementary defense with a lob.

But the ball was a bit blunt, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Ye Heping rushed to grab the rebound, and Huo Li wanted to repeat the same trick, blocking Ye Heping with small moves.

The moment Huo Li leaned against Ye Heping, Ye Heping suddenly raised his elbow, pointed at Huo Li's lower abdomen, and slapped him.

It didn't take too much effort for Hori to be overwhelmed, curling up like a prawn.

Ye Heping took the opportunity to rush out, and with the help of Mihm and Odom, he struggled to protect the backcourt rebound.

Huo Li's lower abdomen recovered, and he looked at Ye Heping bitterly.

Ye Heping raised the corner of his mouth, showing no sign of weakness.

Are you the only one who can play tricks?
Have you forgotten who Ye Heping's leader is?
In addition to Kobe, there is also Divac.

In terms of playing small moves, all the active players in the entire NBA add up to give Divac shoes.
