May 29, Air Force Arena.

The Nets, who were pushed to the edge of the cliff by the Wizards, will fight with their last resort tonight.

In the history of the NBA, no team has ever completed a comeback after falling behind 0-3.

Therefore, before the start of this game, even if the media did not say it, the Nets players knew that losing the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals would be equivalent to losing the entire series.

In fact, they never thought they could defeat the Wizards and advance to the Finals.

The only thing they are thinking about now is at least...win a game, right?

The players on both sides of the court ended their warm-up. In the center of the court, Haywood faced off against Kenyon Martin. You could see Kenyon Martin's excited heart and trembling hands. With this passion, he won the first attack for the Nets.

Kidd dribbled the ball across half court amid the cheers of the fans.

This feeling is really long gone.

Especially when he was dribbling the ball all the way across the court, he could still see his girlfriend sitting there, looking so beautiful, pretty and touching. It would be better if she could get rid of the habit of domestic violence.

When the Nets played their first attack, Jason Kidd gave the ball to Richardson on the wing. He quickly walked towards the basket in an attempt to attract the defensive attention, but unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. They were all paying attention to the man holding the ball.

Richardson.

There is no way, there is such a huge difference between Kidd holding the ball and Kidd not taking the ball.

Seeing this, Kidd quickly slipped to the baseline, ran to the high post on the other side, asked for the ball again, and decisively shot a mid-range jumper.

The ball bounced up with a "bang" but fell back into the basket.

2-0.

The Nets opened the game in this way, and Wizards head coach Scott felt a lot more at ease on the sidelines.

The reason is also very simple. Kidd has been forced to this point, which means that they really have no trump card to draw out.

Even with a big score of 2-0, Scott has been very nervous because the third game is on the road. No one can say that he will advance to the next round with a 2-0 lead.

History is full of guys who were eliminated when leading 2-0.

Therefore, this Nets team cannot be underestimated.

Of course, now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Wizards still used their original tactics. Michael Jordan held the ball through half court, playing the No. 1 position, doing the work of the No. 2 position, facing Jason Kidd, and hit the ball.

Speaking of which, Jason Kidd is still a member of this year's All-Defensive Team.

It's a pity that he is really powerless when facing Michael Jordan.

2-2 level.

Jason Kidd didn't dare to give the ball away this time, and the reason was very simple...

He is really not sure to complete another mid-range shot, which is too difficult for him!

The Wizards have made a lot of changes on the defensive end this time, such as no longer double-teaming Kidd and adopting a cut-off defense against other players.

What is interception defense...

It is to always ensure that his position is between Jason Kidd and the opponent player, so that he does not have a direct passing route.

It's hard to do this, but as long as you work hard, it will at least make Jason Kidd feel a little afraid when passing the ball.

However, Jason Kidd, the "old monster", reacted quickly to this situation and immediately called a pick-and-roll. When Kenyon Martin stepped forward, he quickly passed the ball.

Using Kenyon Martin as a cover, not everyone on the Wizards can see his position.

The ball flew outside the three-point line on the right side at this time.

This should be a tactical point. When the ball reached the three-point line, Richardson also reached this position and made a quick three-pointer. Due to the interference of Hamilton, he failed to score.

The first time the ball popped up, Kenyon Martin grabbed the ball in his hand.

The cheers were loud!

This is what it feels like!

This is what it feels like!

I feel like everything is back!

Kenyon Martin found his energy amidst the huge cheers and turned around for a dunk.

"Crack!"

As a result, he ran into Jiang Dalin's hat.

Facts have proved that sometimes, passion is not a good thing.

Jason Kidd had quick eyes and quick hands to control the ball, but Michael Jordan suddenly approached his side and took the ball from behind. The ball was intercepted. Hamilton cooperated to catch the ball and score on the fast break.

Jason Kidd looked back at Michael Jordan depressedly.

Wow, you are such a person...

And the "God of Basketball"!

I didn't expect it to be a "old six"!

When Jason Kidd controlled the ball in the frontcourt again, he signaled his teammates to spread the entire formation. He tried to use breakthroughs to attract double-teams from his opponents, thereby helping his teammates create openings for shots.

But when he quickly rushed toward the basket with the ball, he discovered...the Wizards guys didn't double-team at all, and it was just Michael Jordan who entangled him all the way to the inside.

What the hell!

Jason Kidd's balls were extremely painful, but it was already like this, so he could only continue to kill inside.

"Bang!"

Michael Jordan is the former winner of the league's "Best Defensive Player Award". As one of the few outside players to win this award, you can either use your physical talent to bully him now, but if you don't have physical talent, it would be embarrassing.

He can use his experience to make you unable to stop playing.

"Crack!"

Defending Kidd, Michael Jordan also had the ball in his hands.

Quickly, the Wizards started another fast break.

Jason Kidd reacted belatedly: "Why do you feel like the opponent's fast break is stronger than ours?"

Originally, a wave of fast breaks was how the Nets destroyed their opponents, but now they are being destroyed by this style of play...

What you are good at is exactly what others are better at than you. This is actually a very worrying thing!

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards had relied on fast breaks to open the score to more than 8 points.

During this period of time, if the Nets miss the frame and are rebounded by the opponent, the Wizards can quickly break into a fast break.

And precisely, the Nets' rebounds were blown up by the opponent!

It was also at this time that Byron Scott finally gave up.

It would not be a shame to lose to such a talented team!

Even if it means being swept away.

If you want to rate these teams in the Eastern Conference this year, then the Nets are at best an A-level team, and the others are lower, while the Wizards are not an S-level team, but an SSS-level team.

Not only does their style restrain the Nets, but more importantly, their overall strength is much higher than the Nets.

Although I am very unwilling to do so, I am only one step away from the finals.

But no matter how unwilling you are, there is nothing you can do...

He couldn't think of how to limit the opposing Wizards' offense, nor could he think of what to do to break through the opponent's defense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Wizards' offense became more and more fierce, and the point difference became wider and wider.

So difficult!

It’s really difficult!

Holding his knees with both hands, sweat kept sliding down his cheeks. Jason Kidd was still looking at the Wizards this time, but now he no longer had his girlfriend in his eyes.

If it weren't for the unreconciled resentment in my chest.

I'm afraid he would have chosen to give up long ago.

60 to 41!

The score difference has reached such a huge disparity.

Have the Nets ever had a 19-point comeback this season? Let alone, they have actually done so.

But the problem is, when facing the Wizards, they haven't even won a game.

Now they are like little chickens who have their necks pinched, with no room to fight back.

After the first half, to be honest, he was already desperate.

Not only is he desperate, but other Nets players are also desperate.

When he returned to the locker room after halftime, Martin, who used to listen to a few rap songs to cheer himself up, was not even in the mood to turn on his phone.

At this moment, the image of him constantly fighting back in his mind was still Jiang Dalin bullying him again and again. He resisted, but he couldn't resist at all. He could only lie down and let him trample on him!

They are all number one, why can't they be given some face?

ah!

Respect is mutual. I respect you so much, can't you respect me a little bit?

Sure enough, not everyone is so considerate.

Growing up is so tiring!

Richardson was also covering his face with a white towel at this moment. One thing he had to admit was that he was chasing Jiang Dalin very hard, but now Jiang Dalin is indeed better than the Wizards.

He is much, much more powerful...

100 to 87!

Even though the Nets returned to their home court, the final victory of the game still belonged to the Wizards.

3-0!

The overall situation is decided!

According to historical rules, the Wizards will definitely enter the finals.

And Jiang Dalin will also become another rookie who reaches the finals in his rookie season.

After the game, he scored 22 points and 16 rebounds and was surrounded by reporters.

A reporter asked: "Do you think you are a talented guy?"

Jiang Dalin looked at him and said a long "hmm": "How can it not be counted?"

After saying that, I started laughing.

He tried to be more humble, but in the end he laughed to himself...

There is no way, with his talent, he really cannot be humble!

On the 30th, while the Wizards continued to practice, adjust their condition, and strive to take away the Nets in the fourth game, good news came from Sacramento.

The Lakers fell under the iron heel of the Kings. The Kings scored first at their home court.

Of course, this is not a final result. As for Chris Webber and the Kings, to be honest, even if he leads 3-0, he doesn’t think he will definitely win. The psychological quality of these guys is really bad!

However, in terms of physical energy consumption, this is indeed good news.

Think about it, if they really played 7 games with the Lakers, how exhausted Shaq would be by then!

Maybe it’s because I’m looking at the Western Conference Finals and don’t know how long it will last.

David Stern didn't allow the Eastern Conference Finals to end in Game 4, and the Nets pulled one back on their home court.

When the Lakers and Kings don't know how many games they will play, the Wizards can lose this game.

It's not a bad thing to end early, but if it ends too early, it may affect the competitive state. If they really play seven games, the Wizards will be eliminated 4-0, and they will have to wait at least a week for the final result.

Or if the Lakers win the next game...

But this is certainly impossible.

Therefore, if they play one more game, they won't have to rest for too long.

Of course, after losing the fourth game, we definitely can't talk about the game back at home. In the Nets game, since you have times when you are hot, then your opponent will also have times when they are hot.

If the Nets are allowed to pull off two games in a row and their momentum builds up, then it won't be certain who will win and who will lose.

Some basketball is about statistics, but other times basketball is an atmosphere game.

In short, we definitely cannot lose the fifth game.

And they did it on their home court.

Although they lost one game, they still led 3-1, which was considered a big lead.

But all members of the Wizards acted as if they had never won a ball on this day. They fought for every ball and showed a desperate attitude in every round.

Especially Michael Jordan, who entered the "God of Basketball" mode from the beginning today, and this game was also defeated early...

Without the help of David Stern, it would be really difficult for the Nets to form an obvious sniper against the Wizards.

Oh, well, it’s not just the Nets either.

The group sitting here in the east...

It's all rubbish!

In the end, 99 to 83.

The only reason why the Wizards did not score more than 100 points is very simple. It is because Michael Jordan and Hamilton were already sitting off the court from 2 minutes into the fourth quarter.

As for Jiang Dalin...

As a rookie, he should be allowed to play more on the court!

This is called accumulated experience.

In the end, Jiang Dalin, who continued to accumulate experience on the court, scored 31 points.

This was the first time he scored 30 plus points in the Eastern Conference Finals.

He somewhat misses Artest.

In the first round of the series, he really had a lot of shots!

After the game, at Washington's home court, all members of the Wizards wore hats symbolizing the Eastern Conference championship. After tonight, all games in the Eastern Conference have officially come to an end.

The Wizards had the last laugh. They will represent the Eastern Conference and face the ultimate showdown with the Western Conference teams.

Richardson sent his best wishes.

"Man, congratulations!"

Jiang Dalin hugged him.

"Don't leave tonight, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Richardson agreed immediately. After all, the Eastern Conference finals were over and the Nets were on vacation. He could not delay anything by staying in Washington for two more days.

And he knew very well that Jiang Dalin inviting someone to dinner was basically the highest courtesy.

On this great night, some reporters did not forget their responsibilities and asked the question like a fire: "Man, if you had to choose, who would you choose to meet on the stage of the finals?"

"Of course Shaq!"

Jiang Dalin answered without hesitation.

"I will let him know that when one Karl Malone falls, a new Karl Malone will stand up and come to the finals. I will let him think of some unpleasant experiences!"

This really made the reporters happy.

Because there is no doubt that this will provoke a war!

But Jiang Dalin didn't care, since his relationship with Shaquille O'Neal was already a bit stiff anyway.

He’s not afraid of getting stiffer…
