Artest watched Michael Jordan score and wanted to respond on the offensive end. Tinsley gave him the ball. One fake move, no response, another fake move, still no response.

But he managed to draw the ire of Michael Jordan.

You're insulting him by making such stiff fake moves in front of him!

During the constant confrontation, Artest saw the opportunity and suddenly pushed inside. But at this moment, Michael Jordan used everything he had to grab the ball firmly.

"Stealed!"

"Michael Jordan stole Ron head-on!"

Artest is a little confused. He often steals others like this, and now Michael steals him like this.

With Kenny Smith shouting, Michael Jordan held the ball and went down quickly. After half-court, he hit a lob. The arc of the ball was a bit high, but his shot was accurate. The ball flew straight to the basket, but

At least your entire forearm needs to pass the basket to touch the basketball, and if you want to dunk it firmly into the basket, you need to jump higher...

If it were anyone else, this ball would definitely be too high!

But the Wizards have Jiang Dalin on their team!

When Michael Jordan ran quickly across half court, Jiang Dalin was already almost at the basket.

There will definitely be enough time.

Jiang Dalin took off fully, held it with one hand, and when his body was against gravity, he held it steady with both hands, and then dunked behind his back to complete the goal!

"Wow!"

Kenny Smith stood up in surprise. There was nothing I could do about it. The impact of the scene was as if he was watching from the sidelines, making people want to lose their composure.

He is like this, not to mention the whole atmosphere of the scene.

Huge cheers came one after another, like waves, filling the entire arena.

The on-site commentator shouted loudly, trying to make everyone present hear what he said clearly under such circumstances: "Here comes Darling's Christmas gift!"

"For all the Wizards fans, I think we have been waiting for this moment!"

"Now, here comes the bomb!"

…

The scene is being replayed. Jiang Dalin jumps high. It can be seen that Jiang Dalin's entire shoulders are already flush with the basket. What's even more outrageous is that Jiang Dalin, who is still in mid-air, has hand movements. This is

The feeling of being relaxed and freehand against gravity is the most exciting thing.

It is also because he can defy gravity in this way that his movements can be so relaxed!

Michael Jordan was stunned once again.

In fact, this pass was a last resort pass when he saw Jiang Dalin rushing towards the basket. Therefore, the shot was a bit high. He thought Jiang Dalin was okay.

But I never thought he could really do it!

The "senior group" on the bench were all stunned.

They all knew that Jiang Dalin dunked fiercely, but this shot was still beyond imagination.

In the 1990s, there were many talented people and a lot of deductions, but even in the 1990s, Jiang Dalin is estimated to be able to "beat the crowd"!

"Is this guy really a human?"

Olajuwon couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, but still expressed his inner feelings.

In the excitement of the whole game, the Wizards' defense obviously reached a higher level, and the Pacers' entire momentum was suppressed. In the next round, Reggie Miller hurriedly took a shot, which ended in a blackout.

Jiang Dalin caught the ball and quickly passed it to Billups. The latter took the ball and the Wizards made another quick move. Everyone looked at Jiang Dalin at this moment.

Including the Pacers.

Everyone was on guard against Jiang Dalin charging inside again, but at this moment, Karl Malone took the opportunity to get the ball and complete a one-handed dunk under the basket.

The score was just one point away.

The Pacers head coach had to reach out to signal a timeout.

The scene turned into a sea of ​​cheers.

Watching Jiang Dalin dance amidst the cheers, Kim Kardashian in front of the TV smiled, and "little Darling" in her arms looked fascinated. I wonder if he understood what his father was doing...

…

The Pacers have really grown up this season.

Under such circumstances, they came back on stage and actually stabilized the overall rhythm.

At the end of the first half, they still led by 1 point.

Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh: "The Pacers do have the strength to compete for the championship..."

This is the "Christmas Game", a game that all the United States is watching. The Wizards were the finals champions last season. They can play on such a stage and against such an opponent and still lead by 1 point at halftime.

This is enough to illustrate their strength.

Wizards fans were still excited at halftime.

A one-point deficit is nothing to worry about.

And even if this is the "Christmas War", it's just a regular season game. They can feel that although the Wizards guys have become serious, they are far from desperate.

Although Michael Jordan only averages 15 points per game, if you really think that he only averages 15 points per game, you are really wrong.

And the Wizards still have people like Michael Jordan who "played dead" in the regular season.

So even if we lose this game, it's not a big deal.

Of course, we are only 1 point behind, so we really don’t necessarily lose.

Especially at the critical moment when the game is still tense, they believe that the Wizards will definitely choose to fight tooth and nail given their determination to win.

The fans of the Wizards are familiar with it even if they say they are familiar with it, and they are not familiar with it even if they are not familiar with it.

Because they guessed that the Wizards would be more serious, but they didn't expect that they would become serious from the first moment of the second half.

In the first round, Hamilton successfully overtook the lead with a 3-pointer.

On the Pacers' side, Tinsley passed the ball to O'Neal Jr., and then passed the ball to Artest while walking. Artest forced a breakthrough and passed the ball directly. Reggie Miller took action again and passed the ball.

scored.

This time the Pacers took the lead by 1 point.

"The resilience of this team is so good!"

Kenny Smith really changed his mind about this Pacers team today. This team is growing faster than he thought.

"It's okay, it's okay, slow down, slow down!"

Billups did not push forward quickly, thinking about taking the lead again. Instead, he slowly let everyone start to move according to the tactics.

"This guy is so calm!"

Bill Walton praised that he is a calm commander who is still thinking about controlling the rhythm at this time. And such people are rare in the entire league.

The Wizards snatched him up this summer, and now it seems that it was a good deal.

Billups is also a strange person. He entered the league in 1997 and was already called a "parallel import" in the first few years. But it was in the fourth and fifth years of his career that he began to steadily improve.

This year, he has become an excellent commander.

He also believes that Billups can definitely give a better performance, because Billups' entire performance on the current Wizards is still limited by tactics. If he can further control the ball, Bill Walton feels that he can become

One of the best point guards in the league.

At this time, Jiang Dalin stood up high, holding the ball and hitting Brad Miller with his back, easily squeezed into the basket, and completed a one-handed dunk.

After this ball, he continued to play from behind, helping the team to score continuously.

His powerful back-up play with the ball forced the Pacers to shrink their entire defensive formation.

"Darling's ability to change the opponent's defensive formation is really good!" Bill Walton watched Jiang Dalin score 7 points in a row, and his eyes shifted from Billups to Jiang Dalin.

If Billups is the kind of "treasure point guard" who can see all the shining points in him if you look carefully, then Jiang Dalin is the kind of "treasure point guard" who can only see his dazzling presence when you look at the whole audience.

.

Especially when he exerts force continuously like this!

Drexler looked down at the statistics column and exclaimed: "Has Darling already scored 24 points?"

No feeling at all!

This kind of guy who doesn't know how to feel divided is actually the scariest person.

Because this means that he can already balance his shots well with the cooperation between the team.

In fact, Jiang Dalin did a good job in this aspect... With so many "old men" around him, it is difficult for him not to learn the word "team".

Because anyone who has experienced it knows that a "lone wolf" cannot win the championship.

Everyone, including the "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain who averaged 50 points per game, also won the championship after learning to sacrifice for the team.

Jiang Dalin learned this at the age of 20, which is rare!

Drexler muttered in his mind, and he was not wrong. Jiang Dalin did understand the word "team" and noticed that he had attracted the most defense. He held the ball high again and quickly moved the ball to

Throw it in the other direction.

There, Hamilton ran by, caught the ball, and quickly released it.

The ball hit the net.

The Pacers trailed by 4 points after this possession.

Gradually it began to show signs of decline.

"The biggest problem with the Pacers is that no one has enough ability to hold the ball and attack tough situations. This is really critical. When the opponent adapts to your team's passing coordination, at this time, is there anyone in the team who can stand up?

Ball-handler isolation is critical!”

Bill Walton analyzed the problem very carefully.

Sure enough, in the next round, the Pacers' passing team made a mistake under the Wizards' defense.

When the ball came to Billups' hands, he saw the opportunity correctly, and with a command that pretended to stop, he suddenly passed a through ball to the inside, and Karl Malone steadily scored the ball under the basket.

"The Wizards also have wonderful coordination!"

Kenny Smith looked at the score difference and pointed out the problem of this team.

"The Pacers have done a good job of passing and cutting. What they still lack is someone who can hold the ball and play in isolation!"

His views coincide with those of Bill Walton.

Of course, this is normal. To put it bluntly, the composition of a championship team means that both the team and the individual must be the best. If you only do one thing, a team like the Pacers can become a strong team in the league.

But there is still a big gap with the Wizards.

Um……

Another important point is that the Wizards are too "old"!

With such a bunch of old guys around, it's hard for them to mess up their rhythm, which means they won't collapse easily and rarely lose their rhythm.

If it weren't for the fact that half of these guys are too old.

Even Kenny Smith dares to say that this team can win the "three consecutive championships".

"Boom!"

Jiang Dalin dunked again, and the point difference widened to 2 digits after this ball.

Looking at the more than 3 minutes left, Kenny Smith knew that the Pacers would not be able to win this game.

Again, it is really difficult to expect the Wizards to make consecutive mistakes at the end of the game.

"beep!"

In the end, 100 to 91, the Wizards defeated the Pacers at their home court.

The game was lost after three fierce quarters, and it was Christmas tonight. Both sides smiled and said hello after the game.

Jiang Dalin scored a game-high 33 points, and also had 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

The Pacers' top scorer is Jermaine O'Neal, their best performer this season. Under the defense of Karl Malone, he still scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Karl Malone took the initiative to hug him after the game and said, "The future is yours." After the whole game, "The Postman" only had one feeling left: This kid is awesome!

O'Neal Jr. looked surprised when he listened to Karl Malone's words. For him, it is a good thing to be affirmed by a senior like Karl Malone, which will increase his self-confidence.

Because, his style of play is actually quite similar to Karl Malone.

It's just that his internal confrontation ability is indeed not as strong as his.

After all, this guy has so much money.

He doesn't have such a good talent.

Karl Malone didn't know that O'Neal almost blurted out: I want to be the next Karl Malone.

Otherwise, he will definitely take back the words "the future is yours".

Let's play, let's make trouble, don't make fun of templates. The only one Karl Malone recognizes as his descendant is Jiang Dalin, the others are just appreciative at most.

But we can’t mix it up~

The rest of the Wizards.

Michael Jordan took a "little test" and scored 16 points, which was no different from his usual performance.

It is worth mentioning that he originally planned to start the engine in this game and go out with all his strength, hoping to lead the team to win tonight's game.

But Jiang Dalin proved with practical actions, "If you want to rest, old man, just rest. This is indeed my team!"

Michael Jordan is certainly happy about this.

After spending my whole life, I can finally lie down.

After winning 7 championship rings and 7 finals MVPs in his career, he doesn't mind that his 8th championship ring came from a mixed bag.

Hamilton scored 18 points and Billups scored 14 points, in addition to 8 assists. Their performance was better than usual. And if we really want to say it, their contribution cannot be fully reflected by these data.

The 3-point goal when chasing points is much more important than usual!

Keeping the entire team in a stable state is also a test for the No. 1 position, which cannot be reflected in the data. Billups actually did a very good job in this regard.

These two people performed much better than the data reflected.
