However, even though the slow-motion replay showed that Horry did indeed touch Qin Yue's arm while he was guarding the ball, Popovich still insisted that since Horry didn't harm Qin Yue, why should Bavita blow the whistle for him?
On the free-throw line, Qin Yue made both shots.
And since both shots swished through the net, on his way back to defense, Qin Yue couldn't help but tease Duncan, "That's a perfect free throw!"
Seeing this, Duncan didn't argue with Qin Yue.
But soon, Brown took the brunt of Duncan's anger in Qin Yue's stead.
Is Duncan the type of player to hold grudges?
This is a difficult question to answer.
However, on the court, having been switched onto Duncan again through a Spurs tactic, Brown clearly felt that Duncan was intentionally increasing the intensity of his physical play during post-up offense.
Spin, fake, one-handed slam.
