Chapter 53 Heartwarming_3

Once the distance increased, his shooting percentage would plummet dramatically.

But at Don Nelson's request, James Worthy worked hard to improve his mid-range shooting ability.

Don Nelson had always planned to trade Worthy for a shooter.

Riley expressed considerable interest in Worthy and intended to trade Glen Rice for him.

However, after much deliberation and consulting with Magic Johnson, Don Nelson decided not to go through with the trade.

After all, Jerry West had already left the Lakers, and Nelson had no rivals in the management; he had no need to trade away a loyal player and disrupt the locker room atmosphere.

Unfortunately, Worthy didn't have much natural talent for shooting. His three-pointer was on target, but he didn't have enough power, and it fell noticeably short.

Gan Guoyang made an accurate judgment, squeezed under the basket, and with a quick swipe of his hand, the ball brushed the front rim and rebounded directly into his grasp.
