Chapter 206 Definitely not

The result is that Kim Kardashian's cooking skills are just okay, and Jiang Dalin is not very picky about food anyway.

After eating, Jiang Dalin exercised with her for a while.

As the ancients said, that's what.

After it was over, Jiang Dalin slept in the room originally prepared for him by Kim Kardashian.

It was already 11 a.m. when I woke up. After attending a business event, at 1:30 p.m., Kim Kardashian sent Jiang Dalin to the airport.

More like his manager than Happy.

Returning to Washington, Jiang Dalin and the Wizards ushered in the next team, the Pacers, who had lost to the Wizards twice in the playoffs.

However, at the beginning of this year's season, the Pacers took revenge. On the night when they received their rings, the Pacers gave them a very heartwarming defeat.

In this game, they naturally want to return this love.

The Pacers were not careless. It could be seen from their expressions that they did not take the victory of the last game to heart. They were very serious about waiting for the start of this game.

As soon as the game started, the Wizards had the first right to attack, and the Pacers quickly established their defensive formation.

Billups broke through with the ball and missed a mid-range jump shot. O'Neal jumped up at a good time, but Jiang Dalin came later and pocketed the rebound.

Then he jumped up high and smashed the ball into the basket with his backhand.

There was a "bang" sound.

The whole audience cheered one after another.

Little O'Neal stood nearby with a stunned expression. No matter how many times he saw Jiang Dalin smashing the ball into the basket so unreasonably, he would feel incredible.

What a pervert!

2-0!

The Wizards took the lead, but the Pacers refused to give up any ground. Tinsley held the ball and scored, and in front of the free throw line, he broke through and passed the ball to Reggie Miller on the outside.

Old Miller stared with his legs, jumped up and shot, hitting the target steadily.

Not to mention other things, this three-point skill, not to mention 50 points, is still stable even if he plays in the league for two or three more seasons.

Just like Ray Allen is almost 44 years old later, there are still media shouting "Ray Allen is coming back". A player like this who has the ability to cut off blood at critical moments, as long as he is not allowed to be responsible for the arrow attack

, then he is still stable.

3-2.

The Pacers went ahead by one point.

On the Wizards' side, Billups gave the ball to Arenas who was running without the ball. He failed to succeed in the first attempt. Arenas got the ball without being anxious and quickly hit the inside with the ball.

A layup against Brad Miller made the game.

4-3!

The scene erupted in cheers again.

In the recent 10-game winning streak, Arenas has averaged 17.6 points per game, demonstrating his outstanding and all-around skills. In particular, his ball-handling offensive ability is obviously better than Billups's, and he has more

His explosive offensive style has attracted him a lot of fans.

Of course, Larry Brown's unfair treatment also earned him the sympathy of many fans.

Especially the "overflow of maternal love" from some female fans.

It was the Pacers' turn to attack again. Hamilton switched defenses with Arenas in this round. He is better at defending open spaces than Arenas.

Reggie Miller couldn't get rid of the defense in a short period of time. He could only choose to wander back and forth on the wing to contain it. This is his game experience.

O'Neal Jr. missed a high jump shot.

Jiang Dalin protected the rebound.

Looking back, Hamilton missed a long shot, Jiang Dalin slapped the ball in front of him, took another shot, and hit the ball steadily.

7-3!

"That's the problem with the Pacers!"

They must seize the first offense. If they don't score, it will definitely be lost. Compared to them, the Wizards don't have such a big psychological burden. If they miss, their first reaction will definitely be the same. Jiang Dalin is sure

Will grab the rebound!

Rick Carlisle frowned as he watched from the sidelines. Needless to say, he was well aware of the problem the Pacers faced against the Wizards last time. It was an inside problem.

But, to be honest, the Pacers' entire system relies heavily on these two insiders. Under such circumstances, he can only turn a blind eye to rebounds and pretend not to see them being beaten by the Wizards.

The team exploded.

Unable to protect the rebounds, the only way for the Wizards now may be to succeed in every round. In fact, when the game reaches this point, it has already fallen into a disadvantage.

This may be "bloodline suppression"!

The Pacers' style is inherently limited by the Wizards.

However, he will definitely not say these words to his players. This is not what a qualified head coach should do.

He emphasized on the court that the whole rhythm should be slower. Slow down. What he has to do now is to first strive for the success rate of every ball, stand firm, and then look for the opponent's weaknesses. Basketball is not a one-round game.

It is a turn-based game. In this process, just find problems and then solve them!

"Whoosh!"

Artest forced a two-pointer.

This season, his body has become even stronger, which allows him to be very reckless even if he relies on his recklessness.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Even if Artest averages 18.6 points per game this season, the entire team's offensive burden cannot be placed on him.

The rest of the Pacers were also very aware of the current situation, so in the next round, they did not specifically give the ball to Artest and let him play in isolation. Instead, they disrupted the Wizards' entire formation by passing the ball non-stop.

, although Artest was still the one to get the ball under the basket in the end, the whole process was different from the initial goal.

Artest scored the ball.

Scored 4 points in a row.

The score between the two teams was also firmly fixed in his 4 minutes.

Jiang Dalin had to admit that the tacit understanding of this team was indeed better.

The whole passing and cutting coordination is really smooth, and now Jiang Dalin is a little convinced. If this team hadn't been involved in the "Auburn Hills Incident", they might actually be able to win the championship.

Of course, even if they held on to the score, the Wizards still led with a 29-23, 6-point advantage.

The initiative was still in his hands, and Scott was not anxious at all. He calmly said to the assistant coach next to him: "I think the Pacers are indeed very good. They will definitely become our enemy in the playoffs!"

This is probably the foresight of the championship coach. The "Christmas Game" hasn't even arrived yet, but he is already thinking about the playoffs.

In the second quarter, the Wizards began to play their familiar "pick-and-roll" coordination again. Arenas and Jiang Dalin gradually found a tacit understanding in these past games.

The Pacers' defense was tested.

Arenas gave the ball well, or Jiang Dalin's physical fitness to catch the ball was so good. If Arenas encountered a timely defense, he didn't need to hesitate at all and directly directed the ball toward the basket.

The basket is thrown, and there, Wizards No. 1 will jump up and dunk the ball into the basket.

There's still basketball going on here. Isn't this the scene of the "Slam Dunk Contest"?

After Jiang Dalin made two dunks, the Pacers had to adjust their entire defensive strategy. They no longer used high-post screens, but let the inside players who followed them run back.

Otherwise, without height, Jiang Dalin's alley-oops would be really scary.

I am also speechless. In this league, Jiang Dalin should be the only one who treats alley-oops as regular season methods, right?

It's too bad to play like this.

Rick Carlisle wanted to shout towards the court: "Give me the ball, I want to go home!"

The game continued in the following time, and the Wizards unknowingly established a double-digit lead. The Pacers held on, but ultimately lost to the Wizards 98-109.

The Wizards took revenge. Next, the Wizards have another game with the Pacers, which is the home court of the Pacers. However, judging from the result of this game, the game can be played anywhere.

It doesn't matter, the Wizards, who have recovered, still have "blood suppression" against the Pacers.

Then the Wizards played two away games, winning one and losing one, and then came the "Christmas Game".

This Christmas, the Wizards and Lakers once again stood on the stage of the "Christmas War".

For the "ok" group, this day has finally arrived.

Fans in Los Angeles are also very excited, because this game will let them know to a certain extent what the probability of the Lakers winning the championship is when they meet the Wizards this year.

The outside world's doubts about Jiang Dalin slowly disappeared.

In the first month of this season, in addition to Larry Brown's coaching methods being questioned by the outside world, Jiang Dalin's ability to lead the team was also questioned.

In the eyes of the outside world, without the help of Michael Jordan and others, Jiang Dalin's deficiencies in leading the team were revealed.

Of course, the facts now tell everyone that all the pots belong to Larry Brown. As for Jiang Dalin, he is an absolute "non-stick pot"!

From the pre-game interviews, we can actually see how serious Kobe and O'Neal are. They both said they would play this game as the finals.

Losing to the Wizards for two consecutive years was a feeling that the "OK" team, which had already won two consecutive championships, did not expect. At that time, one of them was thinking "I will become famous", and the other was thinking "I can become a leader."

, did not expect that what would greet them next would be to fall at the feet of the same opponent for two years.

In short, they don't want to lose again, no matter if this is the finals or not, they still want to win!

Kim Kardashian brought "little Jiang Dalin" to Washington to spend Christmas together again. It was still the same as before. She accompanied her child at home and waited for Jiang Dalin to come back from playing the game.

Scott also attached great importance to this game. After staying up all night for two nights, the bubbles on the corner of his mouth were almost boiling. Jiang Dalin persuaded him that there are still almost 5 months between December and April.

You must take this game too seriously!

The Wizards can be said to be undergoing a "big shakeup" this summer, which is not a literal shakeup. Although many of the players on the team are players from last season, their respective roles are different.

Jiang Dalin has experienced a lot, but others have not had so many experiences compared to him. It is the "first time" for him to be on a big stage like the "Christmas War", so it is understandable that he is nervous.

In the end, the Wizards lost the "Christmas War", not by much, only by 7 points.

The team is still in the running-in period, and this game was also an away game. Jiang Dalin didn't feel any regrets about losing the game under such circumstances.

The "ok" combination let out a mouthful of nausea.

This time they finally faced the post-match interview with their heads held high.

Jiang Dalin scored a "big double-double" of 34 points and 16 rebounds. If other players had achieved this data, the outside world might even praise him.

But because it was Jiang Dalin who got this data, everyone felt...

Okay, that's all.

Jiang Dalin first praised the "ok" combination, and then expressed his thoughts: "I don't think we have any problem. No one can not lose in 82 games in the regular season. It is also for this reason that tonight's loss

The ball doesn't make me frustrated, but I feel more frustrated that I can't return to Washington before the 25th."

Shaq was interviewed by the media with a smile, but soon he stopped smiling because a reporter suddenly asked a question: "Starting tomorrow, the All-Star starting voting channel will be officially opened. Do you think you can become a starter this time?"

The final starter?”

This question is a heart-wrenching question.

Need more to say?

Definitely not!

Although he defeated Jiang Dalin and the Wizards tonight, Shaq knows very well that compared to his status in the league a year ago, his popularity today is much lower.

He couldn't beat Yao Ming last year, let alone this season.

Entering the second season of his career, Yao Ming has experienced substantial growth, averaging a double-double of 18.8 points and 10 rebounds per game, and has grown into a top-notch inside player in the league.

This gained him huge attention.

Not to mention anything else, his height of 2.26 meters is enough to make people curious. Foreigners are very curious. This has also led to the rise in Yao Ming's popularity in the United States. In addition, he

Popularity in the country.

When Shaq played PK with him, there were only three words: What to fight with?

This can't be fought at all!

Shaq is also quite frustrated. He was a two-time NBA Finals MVP, but at his peak, he couldn't even get a starting spot. He felt that he could really change his name to "The Fathead Fish."

Kobe was also very satisfied with the result of tonight's game. He verified his idea during the game. The Wizards' wings are indeed no longer as unbreakable as they were last season.

Regardless of whether it is Hamilton or Arenas, he will not be under too much pressure.

In his opinion, this year's finals can finally avenge the defeats of the previous two games. The only thing that makes him feel a little regretful is that... Michael Jordan has retired.

He ultimately failed to defeat Michael Jordan in the Finals!
