King of Chapter 21 Section 3

Petrović snapped back to his senses and realized the ball had already flown out of bounds.

The Trail Blazers still had possession, but there were only a few seconds left on the shot clock.

Inbounding the ball from the sideline, Divac executed a beautiful give-and-go with Petrović.

At the high post, Petrović cut to the basket as Divac made a no-look bounce pass inside.

Petrović went up for the layup.

But he didn't expect that David Robinson would dash over from guarding Divac on the perimeter and block his shot from behind!

Two consecutive blocks disrupted the Trail Blazers' offense.

Larry-Brown, watching Robinson's defense, was very pleased.

Having such a pillar inside was truly a blessing.

Normally, with any other player, that move would have just been watched helplessly.

Only Robinson, with his 7-foot-1 frame and incredibly fast speed, could stop such a play with his individual ability.

Petrović was stunned, unaccustomed to such intense defense in Europe.
