NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

After a few rounds, every time Kobe attacked, White defended him alone.

White had a hard time defending Kobe. Many of Kobe's missed shots were due to Kobe's own touch. In fact, the defensive pressure he gave was not that great.

On the Nuggets side, Anthony and the inside duo were basically tactical tools, and Miller and White led the offense.

Fortunately, Miller and White had a good touch and barely maintained the score.

Wang Chen watched Kobe score continuously on the court and hesitated a little, but he thought of something and was determined.

He learned this trick from Popovich.

Although he learned it from Popovich, Popovich's winning rate against Kobe was actually quite miserable.

In the playoffs for several years, Popovich only won once, and all the others were swept out of the playoffs by Kobe.

But Wang Chen still resolutely learned this trick.

It's very simple. The only time Popovich won Kobe was by using this theory.

And it fits the current situation very well.

This trick is not to double-team Kobe, but let Kobe play alone.

Popovich cut off the connection between Kobe and his teammates. His theory is that no matter how good a player is, he can't beat a team.

After Kobe grew up, Kobe used his strength to tell Popovich that one person can really beat a team.

But at this point in time, Kobe hadn't really grown up yet.

Looking at Kobe's career, the season when Kobe grew to his peak was the 2005-2006 season, which was also the season when he scored 81 points in the famous Dragon Slaying.

Popovich's theory is to win against Kobe who hasn't grown up yet. This theory is useless for Kobe who has grown up.

And Wang Chen also discovered something.

After winning the last game, Kobe's [Paranoia] state disappeared, which means that this Kobe will still pass the ball.

Even if he doesn't pass it to O'Neal, he may pass it to others.

When Kobe's touch was average, Wang Chen also wanted to try his luck and turn the bicycle into a motorcycle.

After all, in the last game, it was because he had to double-team O'Neal and Kobe.

It would have been fine if neither Kobe nor O'Neal played well like in the first game, but in the last game, Kobe's defense was broken and the inside line was empty, allowing O'Neal to get offensive rebounds frequently.

As a result, the team's defense became more and more chaotic in the later games. Even with the bug of [Unlimited Switch Defense], the players were somewhat overwhelmed.

However, others did not understand Wang Chen's idea.

"What is Wang Chen doing? Is he sure he wants to defend Kobe alone?"

Barkley was a little speechless.

In his opinion, Kobe's rampage in the last game was because the double-teaming was not thorough enough. After all, the Nuggets' double-teaming was a mixture of real double-teaming and fake double-teaming.

"I think it was because of the Nuggets' defense in the last game, so he chose to let one out."

Johnson shook his head

"Indeed, the paper strength of the Nuggets and the Lakers is too different."

Kenny Smith smiled. It was obvious that the Nuggets would fall into a disadvantage, which was also expected by him.

The game continued.

The Nuggets had been defending Kobe alone, and Kobe was happy to play alone. This game became his personal show.

Every time it was the Lakers' turn, Fisher gave the ball to Kobe and ran to the bottom corner to smoke and watch the show.

Not only Fisher, but others including O'Neal also hung up on the spot.

Anyway, the Nuggets did not double-team, and Kobe would not pass the ball. 1V1 passing was a shame for Kobe.

So it appeared on the court, with two people standing there. 1V1, eight people are watching the show.

Because there is a three-second offensive time limit in the interior, and no one knows when Kobe will shoot, Kobe can't pass the ball, and O'Neal is too lazy to waste energy to position and grab rebounds.

On the Nuggets side, three people are resting peacefully, which is a good time for Miller and Anthony to recover their strength. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Only two inside players are more nervous. Although O'Neal has no intention of coming in to position, they have to position themselves to protect the rebounds.

Most of the first quarter has passed.

Lakers 16:11 Nuggets

Although Kobe has been playing one-on-one on the Lakers side, the Lakers are leading and no one can say anything to Kobe.

Even O'Neal has nothing to say.

Beep!

The Nuggets called a long timeout.

"You have almost experienced Kobe's offense. The referee's penalty was quite large. You will increase your defense against Kobe in a while."

"Don't be afraid of fouling. You have committed one foul today, and you still have five more chances to commit fouls."

Wang Chen said to White.

White could only nod his head. He didn't know why Wang Chen would pin the outcome of the game on a small figure like him.

Moreover, Wang Chen allowed him to commit five more fouls. In addition, he had already committed one foul. Wouldn't he be sent off for six fouls?

But since it was Wang Chen's idea, he could just commit a foul. Could a small figure like him disobey the head coach?

The timeout was over.

"Single item enhancement, target: White."

Wang Chen silently said in his heart.

At the same time, Wang Chen also gave the single item enhancement of [Super Pause] directly to White, increasing White's defensive ability.

"Did you finally realize that your tactics don't work?"

Phil Jackson smiled coldly and glanced at the Nuggets players on the court.

But this look made Phil Jackson rub his eyes. Did he see it wrong?

There was no personnel change in the Nuggets. White, who was beaten by Kobe, was still on the court. Looking at White's position, he seemed to continue to defend Kobe.

At the same time, White slapped his face, as if to motivate himself to defend Kobe well.

You can't defend it, what's the point of motivating!

It's still very inspirational.

Phil Jackson was stunned. Is Wang Chen still going to play?
