116 to 107.

The Wizards finally defeated the Dallas Mavericks at their home court by 9 points.

Jiang Dalin played the full 36.5 minutes and scored a "big double-double" with 29 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Nowitzki, who faced him, performed more comprehensively. He played 38.6 minutes and scored 34 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Looking at the data of the two players alone, this game was very much like a duel between the Wizards and the Mavericks at the 4th position, and Jiang Dalin finally won the victory.

But anyone who has watched the game will know that this is not the case at all!

Judging from the scene, this game is more like "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu". The total number of rounds of true one-on-one offense and defense between Jiang Dalin and Nowitzki may not even be 10 rounds.

Michael Jordan scored 23 points, Hamilton scored 21 points... Jiang Dalin plus the two of them, this is the real reason why the Wizards suppressed the Mavericks all the way.

If we really want to compare the contributions of Jiang Dalin and Nowitzki to their respective teams, even Jiang Dalin himself admits that Nowitzki's contribution is higher.

The Mavericks' tight grip on the game was entirely dependent on his continued strength on the offensive end.

From the time Jiang Dalin entered the league until now, he feels that there are not many matchups where he cannot effectively limit his performance in 1-on-1. One is Tim Duncan, and the other may be Nowitzki...

"German Tank" does have a lot going for it!

Without cooperating with his teammates, it is really difficult to limit his contribution to the entire team.

Of course, basketball is originally a game for five people...

In the end, the Wizards relied on the defensive tactics with Jiang Dalin as the core to completely establish the victory.

From this perspective, Jiang Dalin's performance in this game is really no worse than Nowitzki!

For this reason, Nowitzki praised Jiang Dalin after the game: "He is really great. I have heard stories about him from many people. I have always known that he is a very outstanding guy, but

Tonight, the shock he brought to me is still immeasurable. There is no doubt about this guy’s ability. It’s hard to imagine how vulnerable I would be in front of him at the age of 20..."

After the game, Jiang Dalin said hello to Wang Zhizhi again. This time Wang looked at him with something different in his eyes. He has always been quite conceited about his abilities.

How conceited can you be?

He has always believed that if he had not come to the Mavericks late and let him join the team at the same time as Nowitzki in 1998, he believed that his achievements would not be lower than Nowitzki.

But I watched Jiang Dalin's game from the sidelines.

There are only two words in his heart...monster!

Even if you see it with your own eyes, it is hard to believe that such a "genius monster" can appear in China or even Asia!

"Da Lin is standing there, what you can see is talent!"

This is n years later, Wang Zhizhi once again talked about what he said to the media when he watched Jiang Dalin play from the sidelines for the first time.

That time and that day, just like this moment...

Wang Zhizhi couldn't help but touch Jiang Dalin's pectoralis major. He knew this was not a polite behavior, but...

I really can’t help it!

How could this guy's physical fitness be so abnormal?

Wang Zhizhi: "The future is definitely yours!"

Jiang Dalin:......

have to!

This time it's not just the "poisonous milk" from the NBA.

It can be said that he was the number one player in domestic basketball a year ago, and he also took a bite of "poisonous milk" towards him.

Jiang Dalin was just like Fan Wei facing Zhao Benshan. He only had one feeling: It was impossible to defend against him!

However, if there are too many lice but it doesn’t itch, but if there are too many “poisonous milk”, it may not be poisonous milk!

The next day Jiang Dalin appeared on the "hot search" again.

Not only because of his outstanding performance against Nowitzki, but also because the NBA officially announced the list of participants for the 2002 Slam Dunk Contest!

Because Jiang Dalin announced early that he will participate in this year's dunk contest.

Therefore, this event has attracted attention from the outside world early on.

Well...it almost started when Jiang Dalin officially announced his participation in the dunk contest.

Everyone wants to know, apart from Jiang Dalin, who are the "unlucky guys", er, "people with lofty ideals" participating in the slam dunk contest this year!

You must know that this year's dunk contest has a major reform. This All-Star Slam Dunk Contest allows fans to vote for their favorite All-Star Slam Dunk Contest champion on the NBA's official website. The results will be sent to the game site in real time as 20% of the

The 2002 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest winner will be selected based on the scores and on-site referee scores!

With Jiang Dalin's current popularity, only a few super giants can suppress him, not every super giant. But what reason do these super giants have to participate in this year's dunk contest?

When this rule change came out, "Los Angeles Bleachers" directly complained: "David Stern should mail the dunk contest championship trophy to Big Bang's home now!"

This clearly shows that he wants Jiang Dalin to win the slam dunk contest!

Under such circumstances, you dare to participate in this year's slam dunk contest. You can imagine how much courage it takes...

I heard that a certain sleepless star originally wanted to participate to make up for his regret of being the "Best Supporting Actor", but after Jiang Dalin announced his participation in this year's slam dunk contest, he called the official overnight: Brother, he has withdrawn!

He can play a supporting role for his cousin, but there is no need to play a supporting role for this young newcomer.

Although...it has already been done.

But he doesn't want to be this supporting role. Someone wants to be, like...Jason Richardson!

After he agreed to the league's official invitation, he immediately called Jiang Dalin: "Man, do you think we can contribute to a classic dunk contest?"

Richardson's idea is simple.

Since he was destined not to win the championship...he himself had absolutely no confidence in defeating Jiang Dalin.

But like in 2000, even being remembered as a supporting role is worth it. He is even more looking forward to joining forces with Jiang Dalin to contribute a "slam dunk feast"!

Moreover, he knew that in addition to Jiang Dalin, Francis also announced that he would participate in this dunk contest!

He plus Jiang Dalin and Francis, with this lineup configuration... anyway, he felt that it was possible to achieve this.

Of course, in order to be more secure, he still called Jiang Dalin and wanted to get some ideas and creativity from him.

In the past, he thought Jiang Dalin was a simple and honest person, but now, he can see that this guy just looks stupid, but secretly... he is much smarter than him!

Maybe he can really find a way to realize his idea...

Jiang Dalin originally wanted to overwhelm everyone and win the championship easily, but after thinking about what Richardson said, he felt that it was really just a crushing win, and it might not be that classic. Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom!

Richardson has the right idea!

He will definitely only participate in this slam dunk contest, and he is very confident in winning the championship.

Now, looking at the lineup, he can indeed make this slam dunk contest more high-quality and make this "dunk king" more valuable.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​mutual success with Richardson!

Compared to these three people, not many people paid attention to Desmond Mason, the defending champion who was on the list of participants for the 2002 Slam Dunk Contest. This made him feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, he said in front of the media: I have won the championship once on this stage, and I am very experienced! I will complete the defense of the title! On this stage, it is not uncommon for violent dunkers to have problems with their performance in actual combat!

Buckley said: "Actually, I wanted to make fun of his remarks, but I felt a little bit sad for him even more."

Obviously the title on his head is "Defending Champion", but he encountered such a popular "popular one"...

His words were so harsh that even Buckley couldn't bear it.

Other media did not take his words to heart, nor did they deliberately create opposition between him and Jiang Dalin. The reason is very simple...

Really, not worthy!

How can this become Jiang Dalin's opponent?

Even if he was the champion of the last "Slam Dunk Contest".

But no matter how you look at it, hyping Richardson or Francis is obviously a more suitable topic.

The ferocious firepower displayed by the Wizards in yesterday's game also caused a lot of discussion today.

The Mavericks averaged 105.4 points per game in the 2001-02 season, making them the team with the highest scoring average in the entire league. They had ferocious firepower and, in terms of offensive end alone, ranked first in the entire league!

But it is a team with such a fierce offense, but in yesterday's game, the firepower of the entire game was suppressed. Maybe this was just a single game, and it happened to happen that the Wizards were in particularly good form and the Mavericks were in great form.

Sometimes it's bad, but... it's still something worth discussing.

Bill Walton: "The Wizards are changing. This is an obvious thing! The changes in Michael Jordan's playing style and the changes in Hamilton's playing style have been shown in many media reports. Now we want to discuss

One thing is what is the meaning of their doing this, and... is it this change that allows this team to play a fierce firepower that can overwhelm the Mavericks!"

And this kind of discussion suddenly became louder as the Wizards won 3 and lost 1 in the next 4 games, averaging 109.5 points per game!

The Wizards have been very strong for some time, and many media have begun to treat this team as an upstart giant in the Eastern Conference. However, in recent times, everyone can notice that this team is becoming more and more powerful.

The more powerful!

Especially their performance on the offensive end.

Except after playing the Mavericks and Michael Jordan's normal rotation, the Wizards only scored 95 points. In other games, the Wizards scored over 100 points. They even scored 122 points in the game against the Golden State Warriors.

!

The reason why the Warriors are just a weak team is that, more importantly, again, the Wizards' offensive firepower is indeed more fierce!

"If we count from now on, they are already the most powerful offensive team in the league!"

In other words, the Wizards recently replaced the Mavericks and became the team with the highest scoring average per game in the league this season!

As the changed Wizards play more and more games, the league's media and experts gradually see some clues...

Drexler: "This is a very exaggerated change, but it does attract the attention of the entire league. In the past ten days, the number one pick in China has averaged 8.6 mid-range shots per game, with a shooting rate of over 45%!"

This data can only be produced by the mid-range shooters in the league.

Now... it appears on the data column of Jiang Dalin, a man who previously didn't even shoot 30% in mid-range shooting. Most experts in the league believe that apart from attacking at the basket, he has basically no other scoring methods!

Does Jiang Dalin have mid-range shooting ability now?

This discovery of "Glider" made the entire league, especially the coaching staff of the other 28 teams, frown.

It was already difficult to restrict this guy from hitting the basket, but now he also has long-distance scoring methods...

This means the opponent has to follow away from the basket.

In other words, we can no longer restrict this guy by hoarding "human shields" under the basket!

This was originally a killer move that many head coaches were planning to use against Jiang Dalin in the playoffs.

Unexpectedly, before the playoffs came, this guy had already mastered shooting.

It’s really…

Difficult to do, headache!

And as Jiang Dalin's mid-range performance became more outstanding, it was discovered that the reason why the Wizards' team's firepower became more fierce was gradually revealed.

Now everyone understands why Michael Jordan and Hamilton increased their three-point shots!

Kenny Smith: They are creating a more comfortable shooting space for Jiang Dalin!
