The previous round was being replayed on the big screen above the arena.
Li Yan hooked Horry's arm when he broke through. His movements were so fast that if it weren't for the replay, it would be impossible to tell who took the initiative.
oh! Nuggets fans suddenly realized that Li Yan had committed a foul on Horry.
But they didn't feel there was anything wrong. It's okay for you to flop, but it's also reasonable for us, Xiao Li, to use some brains!
(At this time, the little fat guy No. 13 of the Artesia High School basketball team in California was watching the game broadcast, as if a door to a new world had opened.)
But the Spurs have a big problem. When has Popovich suffered such a big loss?
Popovich gestured with his hands on the sidelines and complained to the referee: "Robert (Horry) didn't move at all. He took the initiative to hook it. This is definitely an offensive foul."
The referee spread his hands. This is the rule. No matter who takes the initiative or not, the final result is that Li Yan was interfered by Horry's arm when he was shooting. This is a defensive foul.
In the absence of a "patch", the gods have come, and this is also a defensive foul.
It was obvious that the referee would not change the penalty, so Popovich said nothing. If he continued, he would only be asking for trouble.
Having just received the unexpected surprise of two attribute points, Li Yan stood on the free throw line very happily.
"dUang!" Perhaps because of excessive excitement, Li Yan's first penalty hit the iron.
Li Yan adjusted his rhythm and said, "Whoa!"
The second free throw was a solid hit!
Spurs round.
Ginobili used the European step again, twisting his body and getting inside.
Just as Nene stepped forward, Ginobili threw the ball and then flew it out skillfully.
Oops! With such silky and smooth movements, you can tell that he is an old actor.
"Beep, beep!" The referee's whistle sounded again.
This time Ginobili was given two free throws.
Now Popovich stopped protesting, and it was George Karl's turn to "dance" on the sidelines.
There were loud boos at the Pepsi Center.
"This is just fake!"
"Aren't you wearing glasses?"
"I can lend you a pair of glasses."
Ginobili stood on the free throw line, and Nene on the side complained: "If you have the ability, go to Li and see who can outperform whom. How can you mess with me?"
Li Yan's face was filled with questions. When did labor become an actor? It's purely technical, so I don't need to act at all.
Ginobili made both free throws.
…………
Li Yan led the Nuggets' second lineup to take the initiative in the game. The pick-and-roll between Nene and Li Yan created many easy scoring opportunities.
On the Spurs' side, Duncan rested off the court, which resulted in a lot of their cooperation being compromised.
The Spurs can only rely on Ginobili's personal ability to score points.
Seeing that the point difference was approaching double digits, Popovich immediately adjusted the lineup and replaced Duncan, Parker and other main players.
On the Nuggets side, Iverson, Anthony, etc. also took advantage of the situation.
Spurs round.
Tony dribbled the ball across half court and after arriving in the frontcourt, Parker handed the ball to Ginobili.
Duncan covered his crotch at the top of the arc to cover.
Li Yan bypassed the cover and continued to pursue Ginobili.
Ginobili glanced at Li Yan. He couldn't get rid of Li Yan's defense, and he suddenly had a plan in mind.
Ginobili engaged in a small confrontation against Li Yan, and then suddenly fell backward.
Such rigorous and smooth movements are simply impeccable, but with the blessing of "Eagle Eye", Li Yan is mediocre.
He discovered Ginobili's intention immediately. The effect of force is mutual, and Li Yan also has evidence to rely on.
He seemed to have received a huge impact and flew backwards. Li Yan fell faster and to a greater extent than Ginobili.
"ah!!!"
"grass!!!"
One after another, the two people who fell to the ground shouted.
After falling to the ground, Ginobili started wailing in pain, while Li Yan on the other side was not to be outdone. He even slapped the ground with his hands. Both of them looked quite painful.
"Beep! Beep beep!!"
The referee's whistle blows, but it still needs to be considered again as to who will be awarded the foul.
Several referees discussed together to see how the penalty should be reasonable.
On the court.
Standing outside the three-point line, "Answer" Iverson and "Stone Buddha" Duncan, who was still covering his crotch, looked at each other.
They looked at Ginobili and Li Yan lying on the ground in a mess.
There is nothing wrong with drawing fouls, but this is too exaggerated.
Inside the TNT studios.
Barkley and Smith couldn't stop laughing either.
"Hahaha, it's not easy for this confrontation to fly so far."
"Don't tell me, both of them have good acting skills."
"Hahaha, Li still has this skill? Manu has met his match!"
Ginobili and Li Yan finally stood up "with difficulty" with the help of their teammates.
Both of them looked at the referee "affectionately", so full of emotions that the referee was also in trouble!
In the end, the referees believed Li Yan. They believed that Li Yan had no movement on his hands and he just used his body to block Ginobili.
Ginobili was suspected of pushing someone in this round.
Judging from the movements of the two falling to the ground, Li Yan's is more realistic, and the force direction is basically the same as the direction of falling; Ginobili's deviation is a bit larger, a bit like actively "diving".
The referee called an offensive foul on Ginobili, and cheers erupted from the Pepsi Center.
Li Yan also gave the referee a thumbs up!
George Karl was all smiles, but Popovich quit.
He rushed towards the referee frantically: "This horse is definitely diving!"
Popovich is putting pressure on the referees.
Although the slow motion shows that Ginobili gave Li Yan a fight, it is impossible for him to fly so far.
However, the referee did not tolerate Popovich. He asked coldly: "According to your opinion, why did Manu fly so far?"
"If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!" the referee warned.
Popovich, who is good at using tricks, is known as "Zhugewicz". When did he suffer losses continuously like this?
Li Yan makes Popovich crazy!
Popovich was furious. He hated players who were too smart, especially those on the opposite side.
Fortunately, the Spurs assistant coach had already taken precautions against the grumpy Popovich. While Popovich was still chattering, he dragged Popovich back to the bench.
Transition of possession.
Li Yan broke through the pick-and-roll, attracted the defense, and passed the ball to Kenyon Martin.
Oberto's defense was ineffective and he was beaten 2+1 by Kenyon Martin!
Popovich called a timeout.
As soon as the Spurs players walked to the sideline, Popovich yelled:
"Fake, can you use your brains to get fooled by that Chinese guy?
Turn on the intensity and fuck him for me! "
