"Cover, the cover is off!"

"Oh My God!"

"Shaquille O'Neal's two-handed dunk that was already in the air was blocked by Darling!"

Is this true?

Kenny Smith looked in disbelief!

Who is this!

This is Shaquille O'Neal!

The most dominant player in the paint ever...

When he is standing in the low post, the only thing you can stop him is the second he catches the ball. If you let him smoothly enter his offensive rhythm, then sorry, you can only watch him score the ball into the basket.

Basket.

If you block it again, you might even get a foul!

But now, such a scene happened on the court. Shaquille O'Neal, who was already flying in the air, actually hit the ball on the basket during Jiang Dalin's block.

Missed...

Who could believe that Shaquille O'Neal, who was in his prime, could dunk with both hands and smash the frame...

Generally speaking, shouldn't he be the one who dunks the defender?

"omg!"

Barkley also had a surprised look on his face. Even though he already recognized Jiang Dalin, when he saw Shaquille O'Neal dunking the ball away under Jiang Dalin's interference, his expression froze and he looked at the same thing as him last time.

The paper was choked exactly the same.

This is really amazing.

Michael Jordan was also a little shocked.

Need to say more about Shaquille O'Neal's impact?

This guy actually stopped me!

Looking at Jiang Dalin who was getting up with a smile with the help of Heywood, he admitted that he was once again shocked by this guy's ability.

Originally, before the game started, he was really worried that Jiang Dalin wouldn't be able to guard Shaquille O'Neal and would blow him up. Now it seems that although it's not clear whether he can guard him, it should be impossible to blow him up.

The scariest thing about Shaquille O'Neal is the impact created by his explosive power, strength, and size. Most people really can't stop him.

But if you can withstand this impact, then the threat of the "big shark" will suddenly be reduced a lot.

Sabonis, who lost a leg in 2000, is a clear example.

At that time, the Trail Blazers and Lakers were fighting to the death in the Western Conference Finals. Sabonis, as Shaquille O'Neal's main defender, really contributed.

Speaking of which, if "Pi Erye" hadn't failed to stand up at the critical moment, the Trail Blazers might even have reached the finals that year.

Pippen's closest opportunity to take off his "second dick" hat was ruined by himself...

"It's hard to believe that this guy isn't the best defensive player!"

Bill Walton also sighed in the commentary box.

He was also frightened by Jiang Dalin's defensive ability.

Ever since Shaquille O'Neal has entered his full prime, as long as he jumps under the basket, it is basically a dunk, and there is no way to stop it...

Therefore, he regretted that Jiang Dalin failed to win the best defensive player award this year.

In fact, before this goal, no one had any opinion on the fact that Jiang Dalin did not win the "Best Defensive Player".

This is his first year in the league, and he still has a long time to win this award, or even win the award again. It doesn't matter if he doesn't win it this time.

But the situation is different now. Jiang Dalin is one of the few people who can defeat Shaquille O'Neal alone. This alone is enough for him to win the "Best Defensive Player Award".

The reason is also very simple...Shaquille O'Neal is currently the number one player in the league!

This round is full of gold content.

The ball was returned to Kobe's hands, and Shaquille O'Neal was blocked, giving him a reason not to pass the ball.

Let a rookie block it, do you still want the ball?

Hurry up and think about the past!

Dribble carefully with Michael Jordan in front of you.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the 39-year-old Michael Jordan could still display such defensive aggression on the stage of the Finals.

Why don't you save some energy on the offensive end?

With the continuous shaking, Michael Jordan seemed to be looking at his own shadow. On the one hand, he was surprised. On the other hand, he could also better judge this guy's next move.

Kobe turned over and faced Jordan's big palm. He had no choice but to adjust the angle of his shot. The arc of the ball was very high. With a "bang" sound, Shaquille O'Neal and Jiang Dalin once again got into a ball.

Jiang Dalin also learned well.

The purpose of the first down was to disrupt Shaquille O'Neal from getting the ball.

Then he quickly jumped up again and protected the ball in his arms.

"This guy always has a physical quality that is better than yours!" Looking at Shaquille O'Neal's helpless expression, Kenny Smith said what he was thinking.

But think about it, if he wasn't such a great guy, how could he have caused such a bloody storm in his first season in the league?

"Crack!"

Jiang Dalin protected the backboard fiercely and did not forget to raise his elbow.

At that moment, from a certain angle, Jazz fans who were idle in front of the TV with nothing to do really felt like they were seeing Karl Malone.

Shaquille O'Neal learned the lesson and did not rush forward to engage in oppressive defense this time. He knew very well that his chest would be purple tonight, but he couldn't commit the same crime...

Given the hardness of this guy's elbow, if he wasn't careful, his sternum would be broken.

The "big shark" who had already experienced Jiang Dalin's elbow once chose to avoid it.

Michael Jordan took the ball to the frontcourt, called Jiang Dalin's pick-and-roll, rushed in quickly to attract the defense from the side, and then gave the ball to Hamilton who ran to the three-point line on the right side.

"Mask Man" takes action for the first time in this game.

The ball flew straight towards the basket, maybe it had too much spin and bounced out.

Shaquille O'Neal shouted, got into a fight with Jiang Dalin, and helped Horry grab the rebound.

Jiang Dalin:......

He could feel that Shaquille O'Neal was not thinking about grabbing rebounds this time, but was trying to prevent him from getting the ball.

This guy...

So perverted!

Shaquille O'Neal noticed Jiang Dalin's strange eyes.

It’s like saying can’t afford it?

But there is no other way. It's really hard to grab rebounds from this guy. His physical fitness is too good. If he continues to grab rebounds like this, he will only become more and more at a disadvantage.

Shaquille O'Neal is a very mature player.

He has always believed that if he really cannot outperform his opponents in areas in which he is not so good, then he should give in and wait for the opportunity to regain his position in areas in which he is good.

The ball was quickly given to Kobe.

Already running, he went directly into the Wizards' penalty area and completed the score with a one-handed dunk.

This was the most refreshing attack he scored in the game.

As long as he is allowed to run, Michael Jordan's disadvantage in footwork will immediately become apparent.

"In fact, Kobe should run and catch the ball without the ball, and use the cooperation between him and Shaquille O'Neal, so that he doesn't have to fight Michael Jordan alone."

You can see it from the few rounds just now.

It was still very difficult for Kobe to get rid of Michael Jordan's defense.

But it's different when running.

It's just that Kobe doesn't seem to have that idea.

He chose singles next.

In fact, Kobe also had the idea of ​​giving up using Michael Jordan's method to defeat Michael Jordan.

But when he discovered that once he actively ran without the ball, Michael Jordan quickly switched defenses to guard others, and Hamilton took over his position and followed behind him.

Kobe's goal is to beat Michael Jordan!

It is also for this reason that he does not want to face Hamilton.

Even if he defeated him, Kobe would not find it interesting...

Just kidding, do you know what "surpassing Michael Jordan" means?

and……

This guy Hamilton can tire out a dog, and he really doesn't want to run in circles with this guy.

He will also be tired later, doesn't it prove that he is just like a dog?

This hurts my self-esteem a bit.

It's better not to.

If Jiang Dalin knew what Kobe was thinking, he would definitely tell him, where are you now? You will want to break Hamilton's feet in the future!

Originally, an important reason for the Lakers' defeat in 2004 was that Kobe had to run around the court with Hamilton, which greatly consumed his physical energy.

This also made Kobe's final shooting percentage in that series only about 34%.

It was also after that series that Kobe expressed his feelings to the media: "I wish I could break his legs..."

This shows how badly he was slipped by Hamilton.

Michael Jordan was still looking for pick-and-roll cooperation with Jiang Dalin. He had just attacked for several consecutive rounds and devoted himself wholeheartedly to defending Kobe. For a 39-year-old man, this was really a huge drain on his physical fitness.

It is also for this reason that he must learn to arrange his attacks and passes properly.

You can't play too aggressively and waste all your energy in the first half...

Hamilton once again ran out of space. Although he didn't score in the last round, Michael Jordan still chose to believe in him this round.

"Whoa!"

Hamilton's shot this time seems to be more perfect than the last time.

Therefore, the ball also fell directly into the basket.

A very perfect arc...

The Wizards opened up a 3-point gap.

"Nike, man!"

Bobby Simmons high-fived him.

He only has this role on the court now.

As for Haywood, although he didn't take any shots, he was always stuck under the basket. Unlike him, he only had to squat in the two corners...

Of course, from a tactical perspective, this is indeed the most suitable position for a "cold arrow" player like him.

It can maximize the space.

This is his role.

On the opposite side, Fisher actually has a similar presence to him. As soon as the half is over, he has to give the ball to Kobe's hands and then find an opportunity to take a shot.

But it was this effect that made him an irreplaceable role in the Lakers.

It shows how important it is to lick the head coach sometimes...

But if you really want to say it, Fisher also has his advantages. As the number one position, his physique has a clear advantage, and he was even able to hold his own against LeBron James' impact later.

What, you said Barea can also stop LeBron James?

Um……

That’s okay!

Fisher carefully stood in front of the three-point line to set up a pick-and-roll for Kobe. Seeing that he didn't refuse, his actions became even bolder.

Kobe shot from outside, trying to respond to the three-pointer. However, in the struggle with Michael Jordan just now, his touch was obviously a little choppy, and the shot was solid as soon as he released it.

Shaquille O'Neal, who didn't grab an offensive rebound, shook his head slightly and glanced at Phil Jackson on the sidelines.

Now it's your turn, let Kobe pass the ball!

He didn't want to destroy a certain tacit understanding between himself and Kobe, especially when it was obvious that when Kobe was unhappy now, if he wanted the ball, it would easily arouse the latter's resistance.

O'Neal now knows Kobe too well. This guy is a tough guy. The less he is allowed to do something, the more he will do it.

So Phil Jackson still has to make adjustments.

When the time comes, I will also hate him.

Not to mention the absolute core of the Lakers team, but also the look of the second boss, this game is too useless. In fact, after fighting Jiang Dalin until now, O'Neal knows very well that if he wants to win this year's championship, Kobe must be the one.

He provides help, but it's impossible to do it alone.

Michael Jordan continued to call Jiang Dalin to come forward to pick and roll, but at the same time as Jiang Dalin came up, Michael Jordan suddenly took a step forward, then twisted around to jump the ball and shoot.

The ball fell straight into the basket...

Michael Jordan, who had been passing the ball in the first two rounds, suddenly chose to play by himself, and the ball scored easily.

The look in Kobe's eyes became impatient, and he could feel that the gap between him and Michael Jordan was widening...

At this time, Phil Jackson suddenly reached out and gestured towards Kobe, and said as he passed by: "You have teammates!"

Michael Jordan relies on the strength of his teammates to fight you. If you continue to fight alone, you will definitely not be his opponent.

This is what he wanted to convey.

This sentence seemed to have reached Kobe's ears. Kobe, who was dribbling to find a loophole in Michael Jordan's defense, suddenly passed a through ball to Shaquille O'Neal under the basket.

Jiang Dalin gave him a hard push.

At this time, Shaquille O'Neal suddenly turned around, then wiped the board with a small hook and scored the ball!

"omg!"

"Shaq used his skills..."

This "shark" is skilled, but since he has entered the peak period of physical function, he can kill opponents just by relying on strength, so it is rare to see him playing with his feet under the basket.

Jiang Dalin forced him to use a move that he had not used for a long time.

"Boy, you are indeed very capable, but that's the end of it!"

O'Neal spoke again.

"You have a short memory, Shaq!"

Jiang Dalin replied, and then obviously increased his offensive intentions on the offensive end.

Shaquille O'Neal was unconsciously attracted to him, and when he walked toward the outside, he immediately followed him.

But at this moment, Michael Jordan passed the ball to Hamilton for an air cut. The Lakers only had Robert Horry under the basket. When he was on guard, Hamilton passed the ball again, and Haywood hit the basket with both hands.

"Shaq cares too much about Darling. Horry is not a traditional fourth position. Once Shaq leaves the basket, the Wizards' threat to attack the frame suddenly rises..."
