NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

Payton's offensive ability has aged, but his passing is still top-notch.

Fox is also a professional shooter with rich experience in receiving the ball. He received Payton's pass very comfortably.

There was no one in front of him. The nearest person was a few steps away, and there was no time to make up for the defense.

Fox showed the quality of an old shooter. He didn't rush to shoot. He adjusted to the most comfortable posture and glanced at the basket, and then shot in the most comfortable way.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, hit the edge of the frame and bounced a few times, but still slid in.

Fox didn't care how the ball went in. Anyway, it went in, and he directly made an elegant pretentious move.

Staples also cheered.

This typical defensive strategy of looking down on people is simply an insult to their noble bloodline of the Lakers.

Wang Chen's face did not change at all.

The system said Fox was a snowflake, so it was a snowflake.

Snowflakes don't mean that you can't score. Wang Chen can accept Fox's goal.

He believes in the system!

At this time, the Nuggets' cooperation on the field made a mistake.

Miller passed the ball to Leonard who was cutting to the basket. Leonard did not attack himself but passed the ball to Camby.

However, Camby was pushed aside by O'Neal and the ball was intercepted.

Olney passed the ball directly to Payton who passed the ball long after receiving it.

The Lakers formed a three-on-two fast break in the frontcourt. Barry and Nene were looking at their own men respectively, leaving only Fox open.

The ball was given directly to Fox.

However, Fox did not stand well for the three-pointer and chose to shoot with one step inside the three-point line.

Swish!

This time it was an empty goal.

Lakers 28:27 Nuggets.

Facing the situation of falling behind due to Kobe's trap at the beginning, the Lakers have now overtaken the score and have returned to their kingly posture.

"Is it really okay to let Fox go? He is a shooter, not a dunker like Sprewell who shoots three-pointers as an amateur."

Stokes said with some concern.

Wang Chen frowned, but still said nothing.

Snowflake scored two goals in a row, which was indeed something Wang Chen did not expect.

Wang Chen even confirmed whether Fox was Snowflake, or Snowflake got hot with these two shots.

But it was clear on the [Information Tactics Board] that Fox was Snowflake's touch, and his Snowflake did not reduce by half a point after scoring these two goals.

Wang Chen still did not choose to call a timeout.

If the tactics were changed, the two goals would be lost in vain, and Wang Chen also had some gambler mentality. In the Nuggets' round, Miller chose to attack with the help of pick-and-roll, but even if Miller was hot, his ability was limited.

A lob shot, the basketball bounced out of the rim.

He was destined not to be the kind of player who could compete with the opponent for points.

It was the Lakers' offense.

It was still man-to-man, two people guarding one O'Neal.

Fox, who scored two goals in a row, did not feel a trace of respect, and he was left alone again.

"He didn't think he was playing against the Timberwolves, did he?......"

Barkley was quite nervous at first when he saw Wang Chen's defensive strategy.

He wondered if it would be like the Timberwolves game, where they relied on letting people shoot and won the battle with the weak over the strong.

But now it seems that Wang Chen is just gambling.

"Fox, even if his form has declined this season, he is not the same Fox as before, but he is still an old shooter after all.

Kenny Smith rarely disagreed with Barkley on the issue of Wang Chen.

This is still a little uncomfortable.

"Fox received the ball again, in a standard posture."(To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Kenny Smith noticed Fox's shooting action.

He felt that this ball was a sure thing. Kenny Smith is also a shooter.

He also followed Olajuwon in the past, and like Fox, he was a shooter on the championship team.

Ding!

But this time, Fox missed the shot when he was in an open position.

"Judging from the arc, it was just a little bit off. I think the Nuggets should not dare to let Fox go."

Kenny Smith felt a little embarrassed and found an excuse for Fox.

And he was not talking nonsense. He could see that Fox's strength was a little bit less. If it was stronger, it would go in.

However, this time the Nuggets' offense finally relied on Barry's off-ball movement to get an open opportunity one step inside the three-point line and scored a two-pointer.

Lakers 28:29 Nuggets

When the Lakers got the ball, they still used the old defensive strategy.

Fox continued to shoot.

"The ball should be there, if he just hits it a little harder."

Kenny Smith just finished speaking.

Ding!

The ball bounced high.

"Uh, Fox's power was too strong on this ball, and he made a mistake in this adjustment."

Kenny Smith frowned.

In the next few rounds,

Fox fell into a vicious circle, always a little short, and suddenly it was as if he couldn't find his aim.

NBA veteran shooters will also fall into a cycle of missing shots, and the older the shooter, the harder it is to get out of this cycle.

Because you are used to a feeling, in this level of game, if you are still anxious when your touch is not good, you will always be superstitious about your feeling, but the feeling on that day was actually wrong.

Hit a three-pointer, all by rebounding.

In the Nuggets' offense, although the success rate was not high, there were also solid points.

Lakers 31:36 Nuggets

"Phil called a timeout, let's see how Phil adjusts."

Kenny Smith in the commentary booth was so embarrassed that he changed the subject.

"Our great shooter made a ridiculous mistake in his prediction.

Barkley, who was standing next to him, would not miss the opportunity to make fun of his partner, and said sarcastically:

""Charles, you were talking happily just now, weren't you?"

Kenny Smith also countered.

On the Nuggets bench,

Wang Chen was encouraging the players when suddenly a message appeared on the virtual reality of the mind-reading glasses.

【Ding, the mind-reading glasses have been triggered successfully, and the opponent's tactical arrangements are being obtained.......】

【Fox out, Kareem Rush in】

【Plan 1: Kareem Rush breaks the formation and succeeds】

【Plan 2: Failed to break the formation, Kareem Rush left the game, and continued to change shooters】
