NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

The game has reached this stage, and the two teams have basically known each other very well.

No matter Wang Chen or Phil Jackson, there is not much room for change in their strategies against each other.

In the previous few games, the tricks that should be used have been used almost, and Wang Chen has no new tactics suitable for dealing with the Lakers.

Phil Jackson is the same, not to mention that OK is out of control now, and he has no more room for tactical changes.

Of course, Wang Chen still has an advantage. He can make changes through the state changes of each player on the court, whether it is his own players or the opponent's players.

It's just that he can only observe the state, but not change it. If Kobe and O'Neal are hot at the same time, it will be an unstoppable king bomb.

Nuggets round.

Miller controls the ball and lets Anthony play one first according to the original plan.

Anthony's touch is average in this game. Anthony did not score the first ball under Kobe's personal strict defense.

Attack and defense transition.

Fisher looked at the Nuggets' defensive formation and found that they had returned to the tactic of defending Kobe alone. Fisher gave the ball to Kobe without hesitation.

In the last game, the Nuggets double-teamed Kobe, which made Kobe play a game to prove himself. This single defense was naturally Kobe's performance time.

Kobe received the ball with his back to the basket, faced with White's defense, made a very deceptive fake move and suddenly jumped back.

However, it seems that after the crazy performance in the last game, the state of this away game in Denver Plateau was a little sluggish.

The ball just touched the frame and was a little off.

People know that the Jazz Arena in Salt Lake City is the devil's home court, but in fact, Denver Plateau is the home court with the highest altitude in the league.

Compared with the Jazz home court, the altitude of the Pepsi Center is about 300 meters higher.

Anderson took the rebound and passed the ball to Miller.

At this time, Miller looked at the sidelines.

Because Wang Chen usually makes a sudden tactical change after the first or second ball.

Sure enough, when looking at the sidelines, Miller found that Wang Chen made a secret gesture.

This is the inside-outside pick-and-roll cut tactic.

Miller was a little confused, but still conveyed Wang Chen's meaning.

The main goal was to play against the Lakers. Because of the presence of O'Neal and Malone, the Nuggets had basically no advantage in the interior. Not to mention, Nene, who was good at interior attack, had been replaced in the starting lineup for several games in a row.

The Nuggets strictly implemented Wang Chen's tactics. This is a team without big-name stars. Big-name stars more or less need some singles.

The tactics were coordinated, and finally Camby had a shooting opportunity, but the shooting point was a little far, mainly to avoid Malone.

When Camby received the ball, he was already two steps inside the three-point line, a long two-pointer.

In the Western Conference Finals, there is no qualification to hesitate. As long as there is an opportunity, you must shoot.

Camby took a long two-pointer.

Swish!

The ball actually went in.

At home, the Nuggets got the first victory.

Nuggets 2:0 Lakers.

Malone was indeed affected by injuries, and his speed decreased due to age. The ball was slipped out by the younger Camby.

Kobe seemed very angry with Malone's defense and yelled at Malone.

Malone is also a veteran, and in 1996, when the NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary, he was officially selected as one of the 50 greatest players in history.

Malone also said something to Kobe at the time. No one could hear what it was, but it was not a good thing to look at Kobe's face.

Kobe and Malone had conflicts before, but they were not as incompatible as with O'Neal.

Kobe brought his resentment with Malone to the offensive round.

This time, facing White's defense, Kobe directly pulled up for a three-pointer. White didn't expect Kobe to pull up for a three-pointer and didn't interfere with this ball.

Swish!

Nuggets 2:3 Lakers.

But three-pointers always have a luck component. In the next few rounds, Kobe seemed a little anxious.

He pulled up two three-pointers in a row, but only the last one went in.

On the other hand, the Nuggets played steadily, and Miller showed his true colors as the assist king. He could not only thread the needle but also score independently. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After a few rounds, Kobe was cut off from his teammates again, just like in the previous game.

Although White was beaten a little embarrassed, he used all his strength for every ball and rushed towards Kobe like a mad dog.

White was used to this rhythm. Anyway, he only needed to play one quarter, so it didn't matter if he ran out of strength in this quarter.

Kobe himself didn't feel very intuitive in this level of confrontation.

On Wang Chen's [Information Tactics Board], he could see Kobe's strength decreasing at a high speed. Once his strength dropped, it would be easier to play.

Of course, it was not absolute. Just like Kobe's physical strength was consumed quickly in the last game, but Kobe could still make shots even if he had a good touch and insufficient physical strength.

This was also due to Kobe's willpower. Even if his shooting action was deformed, he could still score as long as he had a good touch.

Nuggets side.

Camby, who had not made much contribution on the offensive end throughout the playoffs, finally stood out in this quarter.

Wang Chen specifically arranged tactics for Camby, and Phil Jackson didn't expect Wang Chen to dare to bet on Camby, so even after Camby scored, he didn't call a timeout to arrange tactics. Phil Jackson paid the price for not calling a timeout.

Camby's mid-range shots in this game were all from far away in order to get open opportunities, but every mid-range shot Camby made was as stable as if it was guided by a laser, with a terrifying hit rate.

Phil Jackson doesn't like to call a timeout, but he couldn't help but call a timeout at this time.

After the timeout, Malone was replaced, and Brian Cook's appearance temporarily stopped Camby's continuous mid-range shots.

Seeing this situation, Wang also used his own long timeout after two rounds..

Wang Chen gave the increase of [Super Timeout] to the whole team.

After the timeout, Wang Chen replaced Anderson with Nene.

Nene's touch was average today, but as long as he didn't get cold, it would be fine.

Taking advantage of Camby's good touch, Wang Chen directly used a double shooting lineup to pull O'Neal out.

O'Neal didn't go out to lift it at first.
