Phil Jackson continued to target Michael Jordan in the following time. Facts have proved that he still knows Michael Jordan very well.

Even though Michael Jordan's rejection of three-pointers has dropped from 80% to 30% since January, his thinking that has been playing for more than ten years cannot be changed in just half a year.

He does have the ability to be a three-point threat now, but it is far from being able to solve the game with three-pointers...

In fact, in this era, when outside players can easily pinch opponents, no matter whose three-pointer it is, they cannot completely resolve the game.

Michael Jordan had to change more as a passer...

The Wizards rely more on Hamilton and Jiang Dalin on the offensive end than before.

However, because of this reason, Shaquille O'Neal's frequency of attacking the frame has been significantly reduced.

His physical fitness is considered good for a big man, but the problem is that he... is too heavy!

This kind of weight gave him full aggression. Even Jiang Dalin's strength was slightly inferior to him, and he was always gritting his teeth to hold on.

But such a weight caused every movement he made to consume his physical energy.

Especially... Jiang Dalin increased the frequency of attacking the frame.

It took a lot of effort for him to stand up to Shaquille O'Neal, and similarly, it also took a lot of effort for Shaquille O'Neal to stand up to him.

A person's physical fitness is constant. When he pays in one aspect, the proportion of his efforts in another aspect will inevitably shrink...

Otherwise, the Lakers don't have to do anything, just wait for Shaquille O'Neal to catch the ball every possession, and then watch him attack.

But the actual situation is that Shaquille O'Neal needs to take a break after playing a few offenses. Now he has to beat Jiang Dalin on the defensive end, so he needs to take a break even more often.

Therefore, the Lakers can only open up the situation more from Kobe.

The problem is... Michael Jordan has become a passer and has really taken on the job of the No. 1 position. Now he can also devote a lot of energy to the defensive end.

Kobe wanted to beat him alone, which made it even more difficult.

Phil Jackson looked depressed, and he wanted to shout at this guy: "Forget about this damn fadeaway jumper, you fucking use your physical fitness!"

He is really angry...

I thought Michael Jordan was already tough enough, but I didn't expect Kobe to be even tougher than him.

Does it mean that if you don’t get angry, you will treat others as fools?

"Bang!"

Kobe "refines" another iron.

"Crack!"

Shaquille O'Neal anticipated the path of the ball and jumped up first, grabbing the offensive rebound in his hands. It would be great if this partnership had been working together for a long time! They could even accurately predict where the ball would go.

Anyway, Jiang Dalin can't anticipate the ball before it pops out and jump up to grab the board.

Michael Jordan: You kid is hinting at me again, right?

"Boom!"

After holding the ball and dribbling for a while, Shaq turned around smoothly and bumped into Jiang Dalin head-on. He turned back on his pivot foot, faced the frame again, and shot a mid-range shot from close range.

"Whoosh!"

The ball hit the net.

"Ouch!"

"That's really cool!"

Zhang Weiping watched Shaquille O'Neal's shot and praised him.

Kenny Smith felt that Jiang Dalin should be praised more: "Shaq relied on his feet before, but now he has to rely on shooting to solve problems."

When did "Big Shark" ever have such a difficult time?

He has always been the one who takes the ball, turns around, takes one step inside and dunks!

Now, there are steps and close shots again. For those who don’t know, I thought Jiang Dalin was guarding Olajuwon!

Emotional Shaq is also a "big basic skill"!

The fans on the sidelines of the Wizards refreshed their understanding of Shaquille O'Neal. In their minds, Shaq was just a monster that wreaked havoc on the basket. Now it seems that playing is very skillful and does not look violent at all.

Compared to him, Jiang Dalin is more like a "shark" that wreaks havoc on the basket. Every time he catches the ball, he directly attacks him.

"This is a replica of Shaquille O'Neal meeting Olajuwon..."

Shaq was Olajuwon back then, and Jiang Dalin's playing style was as simple and rough as the "Magic Shark" at that time.

Sure enough, time will eventually make people live in a way that they hate!

But there is one thing. In terms of versatility, Shaquille O'Neal is really not as good as Olajuwon. His methods are basically individual singles, and at most he cooperates with Kobe Bryant's air cuts.

There is no way, the Lakers' current "triangle tactics", he is the complete end point, moving the ball and linking other teammates, this is all Kobe's business!

One thing that many people don't know is that last season, Kobe averaged 6.4 assists per game in the playoffs. This season, he averaged 6.4 assists, but it was still around 5.5.

This is different from Shaq.

Even though "Shark" has about 3.4 assists, he only passes the ball after being double-teamed. It is the kind of pass that can attack the frame as soon as a teammate gets the ball.

Just his dominance and threat at the basket.

Getting 3 or 4 assists in one game is not the same as playing.

This situation is the same as Allen Iverson.

While scoring 31.4 points this season, he also had 5.5 assists, but any fan who has watched the 76ers game knows that Allen Iverson plays alone when he gets the ball, unlike Chris Paul and Jason Kidd.

That kind of command pass.

Therefore, although some players have more assists, it does not mean that they are good passers.

It’s just that their threat with the ball is really great...

Of course this is definitely the right thing!

Under normal circumstances, only stars who have achieved this step can be called "super giants"!

Michael Jordan found that his physical problems were further magnified on the stage of the Finals. He also quickly changed his style of play. He now has no hesitation at all in calling Jiang Dalin for pick-and-rolls.

Speaking of which, Michael Jordan's head iron belongs to the type of head iron that is aimed at the goal. This is the biggest difference between him and Kobe. Kobe belongs to the "I must use this move to kill you" type of head iron.

When Kobe figured it out, he successfully won his two consecutive championships in 2009, becoming the first player in the league at that time.

So there is a saying that "time teaches us a lot of truths."

Michael Jordan immediately broke through from Jiang Dalin's side the moment he came up. After he discovered that Jiang Dalin's blocking position was indeed difficult for Kobe Bryant to pass, his breakthrough became very determined.

Shaquille O'Neal misplaced his defense against Michael Jordan, the number one player in the league, and faced off against the "God of Basketball." Instead of looking for a physical confrontation, Jordan stepped back laterally and shot his signature fadeaway jumper.

"Bang!"

This ball was originally intended by Michael Jordan to break through, but due to the change of rhythm and the difficulty of the connecting movements, the ball hit the basket and bounced out again.

"Rebound!"

Phil Jackson yelled, and Jiang Dalin grabbed the ball before Shaquille O'Neal. When O'Neal saw him holding the ball and was about to dunk it, he pushed him impatiently.

His pride doesn't allow anyone to dunk in front of him like this.

Is it really shameless to be a "shark"?

Later, he did just that and gave Bynum a hard blow.

Of course, the main reason why O'Neal made such a big move that time was because Bynum was called "Baby Shark." As we all know, Shaquille O'Neal was most reluctant to have the media arrange a "successor" for him.

Well, it seems to be similar to this time...

It's not surprising that Shaq gave him a hard tug.

It’s just that the Wizards fans at the scene gave up immediately, and suddenly there was a huge boo, covering the sky and the earth. It is not difficult to imagine that if the referee just gave a common foul, they would definitely throw mineral water bottles at the referee.

Michael Jordan stood nearby and chatted with the nearest referee.

I don’t know what the conversation was about, but in the end the referee awarded a technical foul to Shaquille O’Neal.

Karl Malone couldn't sit still at this time, stood up and shouted at Shaquille O'Neal: "Man, are you doing this to a new guy? Is this really Shaquille O'Neal? Wow!"

Jiang Dalin's overall performance so far in tonight's game made him feel that Jiang Dalin might become "the next Karl Malone", but when he saw Shaquille O'Neal's ruthless attack, he realized that Jiang Dalin looked like Jiang Dalin.

The pressure on Shaq was much greater than he imagined.

There are many things that data can show, and there are many things that data cannot show.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Jiang Dalin twisted his arm and came on the court. After signaling the referee to pass the ball, he simply scored the first free throw.

The cheers at the scene were as if they were going to knock down the entire arena.

Jiang Dalin continued to execute the free throw, took a few shots, and scored the second free throw very neatly.

"You can continue to foul me!"

"This is the only way you can stop me from dunking!"

"But my free throws are indeed more accurate than yours!"

Shaq listened to Jiang Dalin's curses and said nothing with a sullen face. Jiang Dalin's words were all what Shaquille O'Neal said when the Wizards implemented the "shark-killing" tactic just now.

And now, Jiang Dalin has returned everything to him.

Because he really committed the foul to prevent Jiang Dalin from dunking.

In terms of data, O'Neal has unknowingly scored 8 points so far in the game, while Jiang Dalin has only scored 4 points so far, which is exactly half of his.

But throughout the process, O'Neal felt that he had been passive...

This little newcomer is a bit tricky!

This is the first time since Sabonis that Shaquille O'Neal has been so embarrassed when facing a single defense!

Even Karl Malone failed to do this.

The most important point is that they are still behind the Wizards.

In the second quarter, in order to recover the score, Phil Jackson put O'Neal on the court immediately. Shaq played 10 minutes and 12 seconds in the first quarter. This playing time was already exaggerated. After all, Shaq faced

Jiang Dalin's persistent pursuit was tough and tough. But the "Zen Master" had no choice but to continue to put him on the field.

Even if this puts Shaquille O'Neal's physical fitness at risk.

Can……

For the Lakers!

Phil Jackson still put Shaquille O'Neal on the court, but he didn't directly wave Shaquille O'Neal to play. He first analyzed the current situation for the Lakers. Of course, most of these words were directed at

Shaquille O'Neal said.

Then he specifically pulled Shaquille O'Neal aside and looked at him with affectionate eyes: "Shaq, I think we have indeed encountered difficulties, but I still have full confidence because we have you. The Lakers are

If we have won two consecutive championships in this way, we will also win three consecutive championships in this way!”

"Man, if there is one person who can pull the Lakers out of the abyss in this situation, I think that person must be you!"

Come on, come on, Phil Jackson directly released his "ultimate move".

Shaquille O'Neal has worked with him for so many years and is actually very familiar with his tricks. He also knows that Phil Jackson is confusing him.

But looking at the "Zen Master"'s eyes, he suddenly felt endless power emerging from his heart.

He couldn't control himself...

At that moment, he saw the corpses of the Lakers scattered across the field, and he was holding a machete and a military flag, facing the Wizards' thousands of troops alone.

Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go.

Guan Yu read Spring and Autumn Period, Shaquille O'Neal read "Mencius", and what he thought in his mind was "I am the best in the world"!

only……

"Crack!"

The Wizards came up and cut him, directly cutting out the light in his eyes.

At this moment, he was like receiving a dart orally. He was very handsome, but the dart was poisonous...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The person who slashed the shark was not Haywood this time, but his attack was equally steady and ruthless, and this time he directly wiped out Shaquille O'Neal's hand.

The Lakers started the second quarter with O'Neal missing both free throws.

The Wizards' "shark chop" this time still didn't last too long.

The "shark chop" tactic destroys Shaquille O'Neal's mentality. If he continues to "shark chop", he may eventually lose his own state.

You know, when Shaquille O'Neal was shooting free throws, everyone else was standing aside and watching.

Once the rhythm of the game is interrupted, sometimes you are prone to problems.

Because of this, many "shark cutters" eventually "cut" themselves to death.

So, although "Cut the Shark" is just a foul against Shaquille O'Neal, there is a lot of knowledge inside!

Shaquille O'Neal: Co-author, are you not ashamed but proud?

"Shark" is very tired and wants to rest and have someone to rely on.

Phil Jackson could talk about some more chicken soup, but this thing has a cooling time, just like the pleasure will turn into pain if it lasts too long.

"Chicken soup" works because it is used on the right person at the right time.

"Whoosh!"

When the "Shark" wanted a hug, Kobe finally remembered his "breakthrough code". When running cross-legged with Fisher, he strode in with the ball and pulled it up at a speed that directly passed Michael Jordan.

, and then a pull rod showing the strength of the waist and abdomen firmly rotated the ball into the basket.

There is no doubt that at this time, this goal would make Shaquille O'Neal feel warm, and the way he looked at Kobe changed.

Scott called a timeout in an attempt to interrupt the Lakers' core transition on the offensive end.

I don't know whether it was successful or not. Anyway, after the Lakers came back, the ball was subconsciously given to O'Neal. Jiang Dalin took it twice and let the guy spin into the basket. However, Jiang Dalin was very smart to pull the ball.

He opened the distance, and when he was about to put the basket into the frame, he swatted the ball down hard.

Block +1!

O'Neal's anger value +1!

He grabbed the ball he took and slammed it into the basket.

At this moment, the "shark goes out to sea" and shows its sharpness.

Kenny Smith sighed: "When Shaquille O'Neal works hard, no one can really restrain him, but... Jiang Dalin, a guy who is not even 20 years old, can restrain Shaquille like this, which is pretty good..."

"Come on, kid, come on! Keep coming if you can!"

Shaq, who scored this goal and allowed Jiang Dalin to block one, was now in full swing. In his eyes, Jiang Dalin was no longer a rookie. This was an opponent he must crush hard!

Following Shaquille O'Neal's call, the rest of the Lakers limited the Wizards' offensive transition very well in the next offensive possession.

"Bang!"

Hamilton's shot hit the iron.

But Jiang Dalin once again grabbed an offensive rebound.

In this game, O'Neal has already grabbed 3 frontcourt rebounds, and Jiang Dalin has grabbed more. With this added now, it's already 5.

"Come on, come on, don't pass it on if you have the skills, come and fight me alone, come on!"

Shaquille O'Neal spitted everywhere.

Jiang Dalin really didn't pass the ball, not because of the influence of Shaquille O'Neal, but because his ability to play the ball has not improved yet. He looked around and saw no one, so he could only play by himself.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The collision of muscles combined with the growls of the two people. Just listening to the sound, you would never imagine that these are two NBA players attacking and defending each other. It makes people feel like two beasts biting each other.

Jiang Dalin's muscles were red and completely congested. Shaquille O'Neal was even redder than him. In addition to being congested, it was also swollen. The Wizards' "Shark Chopping" gang had really worked hard.

"Boom!"

Another collision, Shaquille O'Neal staggered a little this time. Jiang Dalin no longer hesitated, twisted around with all his strength, and took a step toward the basket, but this time, there was only a "stab" sound, and he felt his feet slip, and his whole body could not help but

He fell to the ground and pain suddenly spread from his ankle.

Jiang Dalin subconsciously covered his feet, and then he realized that the Nike shoes under his feet had been stepped on...

I'm rough!

Just broken shoes!

Is that all about security?

Still want me to sign you?

"Fuck your horse Nike!"

Jiang Dalin took off the broken shoes from his feet and threw them out fiercely.

Live footage recorded this scene.

After venting his anger, Jiang Dalin didn't dare to move anymore. He sat on the same spot and waited for the team doctor. Only then did he realize that Shaquille O'Neal was lying on the ground next to him, holding his knee in pain...

It turned out that just now Jiang Dalin fell to the ground, and Shaquille O'Neal, who was working hard, lost his target, so he leaned forward and subconsciously stretched his feet forward to stand firm. As a result, he stepped too hard, and the entire weight pressed on his already

On the injured knee...
