When Horry came on the stage, Lin Ying looked over unconsciously.

Horry is one of the most successful role players in NBA history. He has 7 championship rings, one more than Jordan.

On the one hand, he has a strong psychological quality that is rare among role players and can always hit key shots; on the other hand, he can always find a team with championship potential and eventually join it.

But Lin Ying paid attention to him not because of these, but because of Nash.

I was really impressed when I saw Nash's crooked nose that was damaged during the previous workout. That wave was made by Horry.

Especially now that the game has only started for more than three minutes, this rotation is obviously a bit early.

Horry made great achievements as soon as he came up. Duncan turned to the basket and was double-teamed to the top of the arc. He caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.

11 to 8.

The Spurs took the lead again.

After returning to the defensive end, Popovich stood up and walked to the sideline to yell at the players.

During this period, the Spurs were a defensive team. He was obviously dissatisfied with the team's defense when the Nuggets scored consecutively.

His shouting quickly had an effect.

The intensity of the Spurs' defensive confrontation was increasing, and Anthony's one-on-one shot with the ball finally went wide.

At the critical moment, he made a contribution inside and grabbed the defensive rebound and then passed it to Iverson who cut through the middle.

Iverson jumped up and dodged with a lever to avoid Duncan's block and hit the board!

11 to 10!

This match was quite exciting!

But Popovich was even more dissatisfied. His shouts turned into roars and he waved his fists.

Lin Ying was stunned. You are even more irritable than Karl!

Duncan pulled out to screen Parker. Parker's throw missed and the Spurs' offense was stopped.

The defense failed to hold, the offense failed to score, and Popovich's face became increasingly ugly.

It was at this time that a thrilling scene occurred on the field.

Iverson passed Bowen on the wing and broke through. Horry came to help defend... and knocked him off the court!

Iverson was knocked directly into the audience!

There was chaos on the sidelines, and the audience's popcorn buckets were knocked over.

Fortunately it was not a technical station, otherwise this would have been another Nash tragedy.

There was an instant conflict on the court, and Anthony and Martin looked ready to go to Horry.

The Nuggets are a bad-tempered bunch.

Seeing a repeat of the Madison Square Garden brawl.

In the end, Horry had the experience and got behind the referee in advance.

Players from both sides were out of contact, and the conflict was gradually subsided.

Iverson was also helped up by Carter and the audience at this time.

When he got up, he held his chest with his hands and grimaced in pain.

The impact just now was obviously serious.

The game entered a technical timeout and Iverson also returned to the bench.

After he sat down, he lowered his head and took a deep breath.

Karl came over to inquire about the situation and asked Iverson if he wanted to go back to the locker room.

"No."

Iverson raised his head, his expression still a little painful, but he answered affirmatively.

Because of his relatively short stature, he was violated a lot during the game and suffered a lot of injuries.

Before the 2001 finals, he already had more than 20 injuries on his body.

But he is a typical "slightly injured but not out of the line of fire" type.

The most classic representative is the "blood-swallowing battle" in G5 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals.

Because the NBA stipulates that you cannot play if you have blood, so when the corner of his mouth was bleeding, he just swallowed it in one gulp to avoid leaving the game.

Karl nodded and said nothing. He also understood Iverson's character.

Of course, it wasn't like he didn't do anything. Instead, he turned around and walked to the end of the bench and called Weaver up.

Weaver entered the active list tonight, but theoretically, unless it is garbage time, he is basically unavailable in the rotation order.

But this wave of Karl is obviously not a regular rotation!

Moreover, after Karl called Weaver up, he pulled him over and whispered for a while.

This made Lin Ying excited.

Anyone who is not stupid can see that Horry bumped into Iverson intentionally.

Even if it wasn't Popovich's instruction, Popovich's irritable old man's performance just now was the catalyst.

Most teams don't do anything when faced with this kind of thing.

After all, this is playing basketball, not fighting, and it is really difficult to define intentionality or unintentional behavior in a basketball game.

As a result, Karl's substitution intention is now more obvious!

Simply summed up in one sentence: If you want to play, I will play with you!

This is when a bad guy meets a bad guy!

After the timeout, the referee gave the final penalty, and Horry was called a level one.

The referees did a pretty good job of controlling the field this time.

Because according to Iverson's past "special" penalty standards, this ball would be called a defensive foul at most.

But the Nuggets are a group of bad-tempered people, and bragging like that will definitely lead to greater conflicts, so a malicious bragging can calm the anger to a certain extent.

A flagrant foul resulted in two free throws and Iverson took a technical free throw.

He is indeed very durable and seems to be in good condition after resting for a while.

He adjusted his breathing and hit the two free throws steadily. This was the best response.

But just after the free throw, Popovich made another move. He replaced Horry with Ginobili!

This wave of operations stunned Carl.

I have already pulled out my gun, and you want me to blow the air?

Play or Popovich will play...

Karl hesitated for a moment and asked Old Carter to replace Weaver again.

It can be seen that there are still some differences between him and Popovich.

The game continues on the court and the Nuggets have the ball.

Iverson held the ball and attacked with a wave of shots.

But looking back, he made a gamble-like steal and intercepted Ginobili's pass.

He easily scored two points in a personal fast break show.

Because of his durability, Iverson is known as the "Iron Man" by fans.

This wave of performance is worthy of its name.

11 to 14!

The Nuggets took a three-point lead!

At the critical moment, Duncan stood up for the Spurs. He sent a wonderful pass from the double team, and Ginobili cut into the middle and flew for a layup and scored 2 points!

13 to 14.

The game on the field has entered a fever pitch.

Then there was Iverson. He carried the ball into the paint and was knocked to the ground by Oberto and won two free throw opportunities!

Pulled up by Anthony and Martin, Iverson continued to the free throw line.

Despite the boos from the fans, Iverson made two free throws.

13 to 16!

The Nuggets regained their 3-point lead!

Looking back, Anthony prevented Ginobili's pick-and-roll breakthrough!

The Nuggets are getting ready!
