Then Shaquille O'Neal was a little confused.

no……

We only played a few minutes in the first quarter, what are you trying to do with your life?

Karl Malone looked at him like this, but he worked harder to get stuck. The two sides fought passionately under the basket, and then watched Michael Jordan hit a shot.

Shaquille O'Neal:...

He suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage like this.

How should I put it? He spent a long time working hard, but in the end Karl Malone didn't even touch the ball. In this way, his efforts were no different than in vain.

More importantly, no matter how exhausted Karl Malone's strength is, it will not affect the entire Wizards team, because Karl Malone is at least the fourth and fifth shooting point in this team.

But the problem is, if Shaquille O'Neal really doesn't care about Karl Malone.

Even though this guy is already in his 40s, his scoring ability is still very strong. If you dare to let go, he will dare to score!

As a result, Karl Malone's unique tactical position was formed.

It's that feeling of a toad on your feet. It really doesn't bite, but it hurts!

In fact, many veterans play such a role in the team, and Karl Malone can be said to be the best among them!

On the Lakers side, Kobe once again held the ball and beat Michael Jordan in isolation, and he and Jordan were also competing.

The difficult fadeaway jumper just now gave him enough confidence to dare to face Michael Jordan.

Jordan tried his best to interfere with Kobe's dribbling rhythm, but the guy still hit the next attack steadily.

After all, Jordan, who already has 40 cards, cannot easily restrict these young people who have grown up like before!

And once people get older, the difference between a 39-year-old and a 40-year-old is also very big...

Just like Oakley, he can no longer relax like he did when he was young, and can easily train and play games the next day.

That day Jiang Dalin saw him ducking after his second "horse galloping"!

And that's the difference.

But it's okay if you can't guard him, because the opponent can't guard Michael Jordan either.

It was still the same shaky offensive rhythm, and then he suddenly turned over and made a jump shot, sending the ball into the basket.

Jiang Dalin noticed that the hanging man didn't look at the basket until the moment he took the shot, but the ball just went in.

The muscle memory of the "God of Basketball" is really scary.

The DJ at the scene let out a huge shout because of the match between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and there were also all kinds of huge cheers at the scene.

It's been a long time since they've seen Michael Jordan be so aggressive.

Jiang Dalin was also surprised by Michael Jordan's fighting spirit today. In addition, he had some more thoughts in his heart, such as...Does this guy want to win the Finals MVP?

Why are you so motivated?

Well, seeing Kobe on the opposite side with his sharp eyes, Michael Jordan thought that fencing should be... normal, right?

The first quarter ended with a battle between the two era-defining No. 2 positions. Michael Jordan scored 7 points. Kobe Bryant hit the final buzzer and scored 9 points, 2 points higher than Michael Jordan.

The Wizards were only 2 points behind.

Michael Jordan put Gatorade in his mouth immediately after he came off the court. The physical exertion was really too great.

The expression on Shaquille O'Neal's face was similar to his.

But it wasn't because of how much physical energy he consumed.

Mainly because the "senior team" of the Wizards are really shameless.

Karl Malone resisted for 5 minutes and then passed away. Ewing came on next and resisted for another 5 minutes. How can I put it, these old immortals probably planned to wear him to death in a wheel battle...

Wow, after all, he was a superstar in the league back then, could he really be so shameless?

Karl Malone: ​​I’m 39 years old, why do you care about me?

Ewing: I've been abandoned by New York. Why do you care about me?

In the end, "Big Shark" played on the court for 10 minutes and scored 5 points. He definitely felt as tired as if he had shot more than a dozen times in a row.

He looked at Phil Jackson, and "Zen Master" looked back at him: I believe you can do it!

Ok, this didn't surprise him at all. After working with Phil Jackson for so many years, he already knew some of this guy's thoughts very well.

He never gave much instructions to the core of the team.

To put it nicely, it means a higher level of tolerance for the players, but to put it worse, it is just a spectator on the sidelines.

His role is to bring you a cup of thick "chicken soup" when you feel depressed.

Speaking of which, he is indeed capable of making "chicken soup".

It is no longer an easy task to convince a superstar player.

Phil Jackson can even convince Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant that if there is no Phil Jackson in the team, it will not be easy to win the championship.

This proves that his "chicken soup" is unique.

Moreover, if we really want to talk about it, the championship-winning head coaches in the back are basically "chicken soup" masters, such as Rivers, who said "one championship can last a lifetime."

Another example is Tyronn Lue, whose tactics can be used for a lifetime.

Their own ability in tactical mobilization may not be much.

But their ability to make chicken soup is absolutely amazing!

In addition, Deng Huade, who later took up the post after Yunus resigned, was also not a master of tactics. He just relied on some "chicken soup for the soul" and led the Chinese men's basketball team to create some miracles in the international arena.

This is why Pat Riley is so dissatisfied with Phil Jackson.

In his opinion, this girl is a magic stick. In terms of real skills, he can't compare to himself.

Actually, the only difference between Pat Riley and Phil Jackson is chicken soup for the soul. The movie was released in 2006, which was certainly passionate, but when he led the "show time" with the Lakers, he was eventually kicked out of Los Angeles.

This proves that the superstar does not approve of his approach.

Think about it, all kinds of inhumane training on the training ground can certainly keep players in good condition, but they do also consume the players' physical life.

Players who could have been used for 10 years could only be used for 6 years in his hands. This has happened many times.

Before the start of the second quarter, Phil Jackson specially gathered the Lakers players.

The advantage of 2 points is not very big.

but……

"Man, think about why we're back here, think about what if this is our last chance! Think about how embarrassing it would be for us to lose again!"

"Our strength is not worse than theirs. The lead in the first quarter is proof. What we have to do now is to lead in the second quarter and the third quarter until we win the game!"

"Listen, guys, the team that wins the first game in the finals has a probability of more than 70% to win the cup. If we win this game, we will have a psychological advantage!"

"Don't forget, after playing two away games in Washington, we will have three consecutive home games, so we only need to win one game to return to Los Angeles with the home court advantage!"

"Come on, nothing can stop us, not even the Wizards!"

"go!go!go!"

After an impassioned cheer, all members of the Lakers team were in high spirits and walked onto the court with high spirits.

I have to say that taking the lead in the first quarter really boosted their morale.

Originally, they thought that the Wizards, who had an extra day of rest, would show them sufficient physical fitness from the start, but now it seems that none of the things they were worried about have happened.

Shaquille O'Neal: No, they really showed enough physical fitness, you just didn't see it.

As soon as the second quarter started, Jiang Dalin came on the court. He came off the field at 10 minutes and 10 seconds of the first game, about the same time as Shaquille O'Neal, but the degree of confrontation between the two sides was completely different.

The age of "Cobra" is there, and he has never been a person who relies on being stuck under the basket to gain a foothold in the league. In the first quarter, Jiang Dalin barely exerted any force. Except for the opening dunk, at other times, he

Generally the focus is on defense.

The offensive end of the first quarter was completely a stage on the outside.

This also allows him to have sufficient physical fitness now.

The first offensive possession belongs to the Wizards.

Jiang Dalin's desire to attack was obviously much stronger than in the first quarter, and he took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Gooden stood behind him, wanting to do something, but he could only watch Jiang Dalin turn around and complete the dunk.

After succeeding with one hit, Jiang Dalin continued with another shot.

Score 4 points in a row!

"Zen Master" immediately called a timeout.

Called Shaquille O'Neal up.

Oakley also came on the field at this time. Looking at the grin on this guy's face, it was obvious that he was waiting for Shaquille O'Neal to come on!

To say that it is a pervert is a real perversion. When the head coaches of other teams saw Shaquille O'Neal on the court, they either felt a headache, or they were thinking about being shameless and using a "shark-killing tactic".

Only Scott saw Shaquille O'Neal coming up, with a satisfied smile in his eyes.

It was as if what came up was not a "shark" but a fat-headed fish.

Shaquille O'Neal also noticed this and immediately became a little angry.

Damn it, am I no longer a deterrent at all?

He immediately got ready to get the ball, but Oakley was really not an easy man. Even though he was old, his elbow was not weak at all, and this guy was very ruthless.

He is also proficient in all kinds of dirty moves.

Shaquille O'Neal only competed with him for the position under the basket once, and then he felt as if his waist had been stepped on.

But Shaquille O'Neal is undoubtedly terrifying when he is serious. Even though his waist hurts, he immediately turns around after grabbing the ball and completes the score with a two-handed dunk.

Oakley couldn't dodge, so he created a "2 plus 1"!

Listening to the referee blowing the whistle, Shaquille O'Neal's expression became even more fierce... Do you understand what Shaquille O'Neal means?

"It's okay, he can't score the penalty!"

Just after he finished pretending in front of Oakley, Jiang Dalin's words made him break his skills in a second.

I still don't believe it.

I have conquered all the stars and the sea, but I still can't conquer your free throw line!

An irritated Shaquille O'Neal stood on the free throw line. He had not taken free throws so seriously for a long time. He couldn't help but muttered in his heart: Let me go in, let me go in, let me go in!

Then……

With a "bang" sound, Shaquille O'Neal watched Jiang Dalin grab the rebound, immediately turned his head and ran towards his own basket.

In the next 20 seconds, he would never look at Jiang Dalin.

He could guarantee that this guy would look at him with a joking look on his face.

What the hell, what’s wrong with not scoring a penalty?

Do you want to make you laugh if you miss the penalty?

Um!

Shaquille O'Neal was very angry, and he used this resentment on defense...

Yes, you read that right!

When Shaquille O'Neal saw Jiang Dalin taking the ball, he immediately prepared to make a defense.

Phil Jackson also subconsciously rubbed his eyes to prove that he was right.

This is something new!

I don’t know how long it’s been, but Shaquille O’Neal has become less and less willing to contribute on the defensive end.

Of course, he can also understand that this guy's physical fitness is reserved for the most critical moments of the fight.

It's just... I understand, but I still have some opinions in my heart.

Kobe was stunned for a moment. He and Phil Jackson also didn't expect that Shaquille O'Neal could be so serious.

Last summer, he resolved his misunderstanding with Shaquille O'Neal and faced the Wizards together. Before that, Kobe had always had great opinions on him.

The biggest opinion... is that he didn't show his aggressiveness!

Kobe believed he didn't show enough fighting spirit to win.

And now, at least at this moment, Kobe believes that Shaquille O'Neal definitely wants to win.

Jiang Dalin jumped up during the confrontation, and the referee's whistle also sounded at this time.

"Who, who committed a foul? I haven't even started yet!"

Shaquille O'Neal turned to look at the referee with an innocent look on his face.

Then he saw Grant standing next to him raising his hands in embarrassment.

Two free throws!

Jiang Dalin walked towards the free throw line and murmured in a low voice: "Oh, I'm going to start demonstrating, some people are watching!"

The sound is not loud, but it is just loud enough for the people next to you to hear it.

Shaquille O'Neal's expression froze and his steps paused. Of course he knew this was meant for him.

But are you too confident?

If you continuously attack the frame in front of you, I don’t believe that you have no touch at all...

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

You can really get in!

Shaquille O'Neal couldn't help but complain in his heart: This touch feels really abnormal!

Look at this guy's face again...

God, can you be more partial?

In less than 4 minutes of playing time, he scored 6 points in a row. Michael Jordan, who came on the field when Jiang Dalin made the first free throw, couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This guy is really a pervert!

He worked so hard in the first quarter and only scored 7 points, while Jiang Dalin was arguing with others and scored 6 points so quickly.

This kid definitely has his time!

Michael Jordan muttered something silently in his heart.

I quickly realized that what he said was actually nonsense, because... this guy started his era with just one sentence!

Starting this year!

"Finally, old man, do you want me to help you win a championship this year? You feel so comfortable, right?"

There were so many emotions in his heart, but they all disappeared the moment Jiang Dalin opened his mouth.

What a little bitch!
