Big heart! Horry: I didn t shoot much, but the crazy thing is that the coach always let me shoot the last goal

September 1: Lakers legend Robert Horry talked about his key ball shooting in the latest episode of the Travis D’Marco podcast.

"If you don't have a shot, you can't show yourself. So for the overall benefit of the team, players like us have to make sacrifices. Many times, you don't have many opportunities to impress others like Kobe or O'Neal. They can get more out of the phone even if they are in poor form. And we only have limited opportunities to prove ourselves. The crazyest thing is that at the last moment of the game, the coach always says to me, "The team needs you to shoot." "But why not give me more opportunities in the game? So that I can play better at critical moments. We need more trust and opportunities in the game. Of course we are not playing for praise, we are just for victory..." Horry said.

G4 in the 2002 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers were 2 points behind in the last moment. Horry received a three-pointer from the top of the arc and made a decisive move and hit! The Lakers narrowly defeated the Kings 100-99 and tied the total score to 2-2!

2005 Finals G5, the Spurs played against the Pistons, Horry scored consecutively in the last quarter and overtime, and finally hit a winning three-pointer to take the game away, and the big score was rewritten to 3-2.

The 1995 Final G3, Horry, who was in the Rockets' three-pointer, scored 3-0 in the first 14 seconds of the final game.
