Pain radiated from Shaquille O'Neal's chest.

His pressing attack hit Jiang Dalin's raised elbow.

And this was exactly the "ingenious idea" Karl Malone brought him when he took the initiative to invite him to dinner.

"This guy will definitely treat you like an ordinary rookie. After grabbing the rebound, he must raise your arm as soon as possible to let everyone know that this is a restricted area!"

Karl Malone also really knows Shaquille O'Neal.

The idea of ​​​​"Big Shark" was completely guessed by him.

This guy regarded Jiang Dalin as an ordinary rookie and tried to show off his power.

Now, instead of showing off his power, he was dealt a blow.

You could tell by the pain in his face that Jiang Dalin almost made him vomit with this elbow!

But this is quite normal. After all, Jiang Dalin's elbow is not much worse than Karl Malone's, especially Jiang Dalin's talented bone hardness, and Shaquille O'Neal himself also has a fierceness.

How to say this wave...

Just do it yourself!

Jiang Lin gave the ball to Michael Jordan, and the Wizards quickly counterattacked. Shaquille O'Neal rubbed his sore chest and walked back, but he could only watch the Wizards take the lead.

2-0 lead.

Huge cheers came from the scene.

Domestic TV station, Director Zhang, who came to the scene tonight to commentate, looked at the Wizards taking the lead and said "Ouch". He did not expect that the Lakers failed to score the first attack.

You must know that the momentum of the "ok" combination in the next few games of the Western Conference Finals was so strong that their experts once thought that no team could resist the offense of these two this season.

Unexpectedly, the Wizards defended them as soon as they came up!

Michael Jordan's performance was beyond everyone's expectations. We originally thought he would be beaten by Kobe, because he did not perform satisfactorily when facing these proud young people, and his physical fitness could not keep up with his opponents.

of explosive power.

Kobe's explosive power is not bad either. As the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest champion, he can also complete a crotch-hand dunk, but he also has a problem...

His hands are too small.

So many times, he is unable to control the ball steadily when making extreme changes of direction.

It is also for this reason that it is rare to see Kobe making extreme changes of direction.

Many people say that Kobe's talent is not good because of this.

But in fact, as a guy who can be selected in the "draft year" at the age of 17, his talent is not much worse.

If it weren't for his small hands, it wouldn't be a problem for him to make some drastic changes in front of his body...

And when his advantage in explosive power is not reflected, Michael Jordan's experience has a great advantage.

The ball was in Kobe's hands again.

Zhang Weiping looked at this situation and couldn't help but muttered: "Hey, this Phil Jackson is a bit interesting! Kobe was actually assigned to be the main attacker tonight!"

Everyone would think that Shaquille O'Neal is the main attacker of the Lakers. After all, he is the number one player in the league. Under such circumstances, more defense targets are directed at Shaquille O'Neal.

However, Phil Jackson did the opposite and arranged for Kobe to focus on the offense.

This is really unexpected.

Is this Phil Jackson?

Otherwise he is a "Zen Master"!

Zhang Weiping was not very far from the Lakers bench, but the eager atmosphere at the scene and his commentary could not reach Phil Jackson's ears at all.

Although even if it reaches his ears, the latter will not understand it at all.

But if Phil Jackson heard Zhang Weiping explain this, he would probably smile bitterly.

It will be difficult for me to explain to you why I arranged for Shaquille O'Neal to be the main attacker, but it turned out that Kobe entered the "singles mode" first.

Of course, if it really comes down to it, Phil Jackson could have foreseen this moment coming.

No "Michael Jordan's successor" will miss the opportunity to play against the "God of Basketball" at this moment, because this will be transcendence!

Especially, after watching such a documentary just now...

Besides, this is Kobe, it would be weird if he wasn't obsessed with deciding the outcome with Jordan!

Kobe pulled out the "pass button" and devoted himself to the confrontation with Michael Jordan. He pressed towards Michael Jordan with his back. When he was about to enter the high post, he suddenly turned around with the ball and turned his whole body half back.

, Kobe immediately turned forward again, moved sideways, stretched his body with 012-style steps, and jumped up to shoot.

Michael Jordan looked at this move and felt it looked a bit familiar.

And when Kobe stuck out his tongue and threw the ball, he immediately reacted, isn't this my move?

Kobe: Well, I'm going to use your moves to defeat you!

Michael Jordan's block was also very timely this time, and Kobe was forced to fall back significantly.

But he accidentally hit the ball into the basket.

He grabbed the collar of his clothes and sucked on it.

Kobe looked back at Jordan.

It tastes like that!

2-2 level...

Michael Jordan's expression didn't change much.

He has already defended to this extent. Under such circumstances, Kobe can still score, which only shows that this guy is awesome.

But no matter how awesome a person is, he can't score goals like this all the time.

Not even Michael Jordan himself.

So, he is not worried at all.

Jiang Dalin is not worried about Kobe Bryant scoring goals at all. Instead, he likes Kobe Bryant in this state.

Even in 2009-10, the peak of Kobe's career, there was still a popular saying, "When Kobe takes crazy shots, it means the team is in trouble!"

Big data doesn't lie. Kobe's shooting average in the finals throughout his career was not even 43%.

There is no doubt that he has a very strong personal scoring ability.

But he can't dominate the game like Michael Jordan, so that he is more like a person who takes the ball to complete the fatal blow at critical moments, just like his nickname "Black Mamba".

This is his style of play and the best way to lead the team to win.

The most threatening way for Kobe is not to take the ball!

Understand the applause!

Throughout his career, he fell into a frenzy of personal moves every time he made a single move. He really won less and lost more...

But it wasn't until 2008 that Kobe gradually realized that after Pau Gasol joined, he also changed his style of play and began to focus on shots at critical moments.

But now Kobe's target is Michael Jordan.

Since Jordan can keep taking shots and winning, then he "Peter Pan" must also do the same.

The look in Kobe's eyes just now clearly irritated Jordan. He entered the frontcourt with the ball, started in a "triple threat" posture, and dangled the ball in front of Kobe with one hand. When the shaking made him a little upset, Jordan held it against his shoulder.

Go ahead and hit the three-point line directly.

This is the way Michael Jordan plays now. When his opponent doesn't take advantage of him, he only has one way to fight hard.

Kobe held out his chest without showing any signs of weakness and continued to confront him.

His core strength is really good.

Later, during the period when he gained weight, he was also called "Little Ma Long".

Even though his current weight is not as exaggerated as it was later, Kobe has long been full of core strength.

Michael Jordan stumbled into the paint, but when he entered the final rhythm of dribbling, it was obvious that Kobe's defense suddenly slowed down. During the continuous footwork, Michael Jordan suddenly jumped up and fell back.

Jump shot.

Father Time took away his explosive power, but not his shooting skills.

Now Michael Jordan's every move is confusing, which is why many wing defenders can withstand Michael Jordan's confrontation, but still can't guard him!

This is why in the original 2003 All-Star Game, Shawn Marion had completely covered him, but he still allowed him to score the "quasi-winner" in the first overtime.

The fadeaway jump shot has reached the level of Michael Jordan. Whether it is explosive or not is no longer important.

Of course, the explosive Michael Jordan will definitely be even more unsolvable, there is no doubt about this.

Kobe desperately reached out to block Jordan's last shot.

But when his hand reached in front of Jordan, the ball had already flown out of Jordan's hand.

"Whoa!"

A solid hit!

Michael Jordan scored his first goal since entering the Finals.

Just looking at the confrontation process, compared to Kobe just now, it is not much easier.

But it can be seen from the unchanged rise and fall of Michael Jordan's chest that he played the ball in a normal offensive rhythm.

4-2, the Wizards took the lead again.

Shaquille O'Neal couldn't help but touch his chest.

Now he is 100% sure that this guy has indeed learned badly from Karl Malone. The use of this elbow in confrontation is really... so gorgeous!

This word obviously should not be used in relation to the use of elbows.

But from Shaquille O'Neal's point of view, Jiang Dalin's use of elbows is worthy of his use of this word.

Because it's really... so gorgeous.

He couldn't figure out why he could avoid the referee so cleverly every time and give him a hard elbow...

Well, if he asked Jiang Dalin, Jiang Dalin would definitely give him an answer.

I studied under Oakley and learned experience from Karl Malone. Do you think the use of my elbow can't be gorgeous?

In fact, Jiang Dalin has long learned how to use his elbow in confrontation, but he was not the first to use this "weapon of mass destruction" in the regular season.

Now facing Shaquille O'Neal, he had to take out this weapon.

otherwise……

It's really hard to fight against him!

Now he finally understands why so many people are saying that Shaquille O'Neal in his prime has no solution!

Since Jiang Dalin entered the alliance, he has really turned the entire alliance upside down. It is not an exaggeration to say that there has been a change of dynasty.

But in the confrontation with O'Neal, he barely had any advantage.

This guy's power is really terrifying!

Of course, when Jiang Dalin took out his elbow as a weapon, he did not quickly suppress him. While he was fighting seriously, Shaquille O'Neal also played small tricks.

It is simply impossible for such an inside player born in the 1990s to have a clean confrontation.

It's just that Jiang Dalin's reaction was not as strong as his...

Well, we have to talk about Jiang Dalin's "iron bones" again!

A depressed Shaquille O'Neal took the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Fisher. When passing by Kobe, he whispered: "Man, we have to get into our state faster!"

It means, it’s time for me to hit two!

From the beginning to the scene, he didn't even touch the ball!

After a pointless confrontation, his chest almost exploded, and now he was eager to regain some ground through personal offense.

Kobe nodded, OK, I'll hit another 100 million goals...

Michael Jordan's defense has reached a new level.

In his personal "death coil", Kobe barely dribbled the ball and changed his steps.

Shaq O'Neal, who looked down upon him, winked at Horry beside him. The latter understood it and immediately stepped forward to pick and roll. Maybe it was Horry's good popularity, or maybe Kobe himself felt uncomfortable.

Instead of shouting at Horry, "Put away your damn pick-and-roll," and using Horry's pick-and-roll to move in, Haywood blocked the other side and forced him in front of Jiang Dalin.

Kobe took the shot early, and the ball quickly hit the backboard and bounced straight into the basket. Unfortunately, the ball's rotation force was stronger and it bounced out.

"Crack!"

Jiang Dalin moved forward to grab the rebound, but this time Shaquille O'Neal got in position and grabbed the offensive rebound. Although he took a step forward, he dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Sharks out to sea"!

Wuhu!

Shaquille O'Neal returns to defense with a rush of wind.

The pain in my chest relieved a lot at this moment.

In front of Jiang Dalin, he simply smashed the ball into the basket. He really felt so good!

"Boy, come on, attack like I just did, do you see?"

When Jiang Dalin came to the frontcourt, he did not forget to make a provocation.

"OK!"

The latter's nonchalant reply made Shaq secretly roll his eyes.

Really, so arrogant!

Michael Jordan held the ball and continued to beat Kobe in isolation. When Phil Jackson saw the shaky Michael Jordan holding the ball again and completing a fadeaway jumper, he knew that Kobe's defensive effect was not as good as it looked.

Shaq, who scored two points, was more proactive in asking for the ball than before.

Jiang Dalin kept moving around to defend.

Kobe, who was entangled with Michael Jordan, suddenly lobbed the ball toward the basket.

"Kobe passed the ball!"

Director Zhang did not expect this.

Shaquille O'Neal successfully held the ball in his arms. He was right under the basket. He didn't have to move forward this time and could dunk directly with both hands.

But as he jumped up, beside him, Jiang Dalin charged up and jumped higher, almost beyond the height of Shaquille O'Neal's hand. From top to bottom, his big hands covered the ball.

"Crack!"

I don't know if it's an illusion.

The fans in the audience felt that this slap was particularly loud.

Jiang Dalin was so shocked that he staggered to the ground and sat back on the ground.

Shaquille O'Neal didn't seem to be affected. The ball didn't escape his hands and was still caught in his hands.

Trying to swat the ball out of Shaq's hands...it's really hard!

"Boom!"

But the next moment when everyone thought Shaquille O'Neal was unaffected, Shaq dunked with both hands, and the ball hit the rim and flew away...

"Shaq, you see me playing defense like this?"

Jiang Dalin got up and returned Shaquille O'Neal's words.
