In the first game back, their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers!

Facing this team that had defeated them in the "Christmas Day War", many media were worried about the Washington Wizards.

Although Jiang Dalin is back, it is a fact that the Lakers are strong this season. They have only lost 7 games so far, while the Wizards have lost more than a dozen games.

Especially after losing so much recently.

This makes the media worry whether this Wizards team can really win immediately after Jiang Dalin returns...

They must win immediately, otherwise it will have a great impact on morale.

Strangely enough, although the media in Washington were worried, they immediately stopped being so worried after they saw Jiang Dalin warming up on the court.

Jiang Dalin looked relaxed and performed several dunks during the warm-up, making the atmosphere lively. With his actions, the fans at the scene were no longer so nervous.

This is the role that the core of the team that has won two consecutive championships can play. No matter how uncertain the future is, when he appears on the court, the fans suddenly feel that nothing is a problem. As long as he is here, it is destined.

Can achieve success!

The game starts soon.

Jiang Dalin showed a positive attitude towards the ball as soon as he came up.

It's just that the Lakers' double-teams have been paying attention to him. As long as he dares to take the ball, the Lakers will immediately double-team him. From the tactics of this team at the beginning of tonight, it can be seen that they are obviously very clear.

Jiang Dalin is the key to the Wizards tonight. As long as he can't get up, this team is destined to be unable to play in rhythm.

Seeing this, Billups simply held the ball and forced a breakthrough. During the breakthrough, he gave the ball to Jiang Dalin.

Jiang Dalin, who was running with the ball, did not need to accumulate energy to accelerate at all, so the whole running process was very smooth. He passed the defender in front of him in just one step. Facing Shaquille O'Neal who was rushing towards him with his teeth and claws bared, he

Without flinching, he still rushed toward the basket, but when he was about to reach Shaquille O'Neal, he suddenly raised his hand and smashed the ball toward the backboard.

Shaquille O'Neal subconsciously raised his hand to intercept. Jiang Dalin took advantage of this opportunity and rushed past him. The ball hit the board and bounced back hard.

When it popped out of the basket, a big hand covered the ball and pushed it hard into the basket.

"wow!"

The scene exploded immediately!

In the first game of his comeback, Jiang Dalin used a powerful "self-throw and self-deduction" to complete the score and at the same time announced his return.

Shaquille O'Neal was a little stunned. Damn, is this something done by the fifth position?

Isn't this a small forward?

Off the court, the Wizards jumped up one after another. Yes, this is the team pillar Jiang Dalin they are waiting for!

This is the plan to bully people purely based on physical talent!

This is simply...

bomb!

By the way, I almost forgot, this guy's nickname is "Bomb"!

Boozer really wanted to kneel on the ground and shout "You are my god"!

This is so special that you don’t treat the other person as a human being!

Do you know that the person you are facing is Shaquille O'Neal?

Jiang Dalin's teammates on the field also immediately ran over to give him high fives one by one.

Compared to the few first-year brats who had just arrived, their reactions seemed much more normal.

Where is this?

Jiang Dalin’s true abilities haven’t been revealed yet!

On the Lakers side, Shaquille O'Neal was sitting under the basket asking for the ball. He had just been teased by Jiang Dalin like this. He was also a person who wanted to save face, and he would definitely not be able to swallow this breath.

This is hard for Heywood.

Under the offensive of "Shark's" big ass, he was completely helpless to parry. After two hard thrusts, he watched helplessly as he completed the chop with one hand.

"Sharks entering the sea" is still so unstoppable.

Looking back, the Lakers' defense against Jiang Dalin no longer compressed the space so much, giving him the opportunity to catch the ball in the high post.

After the last round, they also figured out that it was difficult to stop Jiang Dalin when he was running, so they should let him catch the ball in a high position. At least he would still have a start to accelerate.

But this defensive method used in the regular season last season is used to defend Jiang Dalin this season.

The Lakers may have forgotten how Jiang Dalin used post-ups to help the team win the championship in the finals.

Pushing in one after another, Shaquille O'Neal had a tendency to double-team him. When Jiang Dalin caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, he quickly combined the ball and jumped toward the free throw line.

Coming!

Ewing's "bunny hop"!

He jumped one step ahead of the free throw line and the ball hit the frame.

To be honest, this move is a bit ugly, but if you master the essence, it is indeed a great weapon. I just don’t understand why no inside players learned it later.

4-2!

Jiang Dalin scored 4 points in a row as soon as he came back. When the big screen showed him a close-up shot, the audience immediately burst into loud cheers.

This is the "Washington bomb" they are familiar with!

No matter how long he's suspended, this guy always seems to be full of energy from the start.

In the Lakers' offensive round, the Wizards noticed that Shaquille O'Neal wanted to play in the low post and directly asked Jiang Dalin to replace Haywood.

The two most powerful No. 5 positions in the East and West so far will officially face off for the first time tonight.

After Kobe opened the wing, he consciously gave the ball to Shaquille O'Neal.

The "big shark" held the ball, not as directly and recklessly as usual, but used his body to feel Jiang Dalin's defense, and then pressed in little by little.

But he was surprised to find that he couldn't press it in.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Every impact of muscles can make a dull sound.

It can be seen how fierce the confrontation between the two people is.

But Shaquille O'Neal can feel that this guy's entire core strength is much better than before. At this moment, he is like a hundred-year-old tree, with its roots entangled on the floor under his feet, trying to kill him

After all, it is estimated that we need to dig out a three-bedroom and one-living room under the floor first.

This guy's power can actually still be used!

This is something Shaquille O'Neal didn't expect.

He suddenly felt a little more in danger.

If this guy can continue to improve, then it is really urgent for the 32-year-old Shaquille O'Neal to defeat him and complete his revenge...

It is estimated that in these two seasons, if he still cannot defeat Jiang Dalin, then he will never have the chance to revenge Jiang Dalin.

Of course, getting down from the core position and holding someone else's thigh to defeat Jiang Dalin does not count!

These thoughts lasted only a moment. Shaquille O'Neal did not think too deeply and refocused on the confrontation with Jiang Dalin. He suddenly turned around, then took a step forward and saw Jiang Dalin following him.

Without being shaken away, he jumped up directly and took the shot less than 50cm away from the basket.

The ball went into the basket steadily.

This kind of close-range shooting is not a skill that is easy to master. Generally, when players reach this position, they usually do more hook shots, dunks, and layups.

Shaquille O'Neal also has a shot from close range.

In fact, his skills are not bad. 20 years later, many fans think that Shaquille O'Neal is only physical. But in fact, whether in his peak period or in his growing period, Shaq's skills are very good and comprehensive.

There is even a video of Michael Jordan hitting a shot with his feet in the All-Star Game.

To say that Michael Jordan's core strength is indeed perverted, even though Shaq didn't take it seriously, the two blows he made at the beginning did not make Jordan retreat, and he still stayed stuck in front of him.

It's just that he didn't take out these weapons for a long time.

How lonely it is to be invincible...

In his prime, he was so powerful that he had no rivals.

Of course, Jiang Dalin's appearance stopped him from having such thoughts.

After picking up my feet last year, I also rediscovered the skills of close range shooting last summer.

Facts have proved that it is indeed necessary for him to make these preparations.

The Chinese newcomer showed his terrifying potential.

Entering the third season of his career, he is still improving.

Maybe the media didn't notice these aspects, but Shaquille O'Neal could actually notice these things.

The ball came out of Jiang Dalin's hand.

After he took the initiative to defend Shaquille O'Neal, this round, O'Neal also stood in front of him and took the initiative to defend.

Jiang Dalin, who picked up the ball near the high post and made two hard tops, passed the ball back to Billups on the outside. Billups quickly transferred the ball to Arenas.

"Agent 0" scored a layup.

The Wizards scored again.

So far in the game, the Wizards' shooting percentage is 100%!

"We can't let Shaq compete with this guy. He deliberately seduced Shaq out!"

On the sidelines of the Lakers bench, Phil Jackson was wandering with his hands in his pockets, but the assistant coach standing next to him saw the clue. Jiang Dalin deliberately stood high and held the ball in order to open up the Lakers' inside line.

, giving the outside line a chance to break through the inside line and score.

Shaq, who was on the court, also discovered this and decided not to go to the basket again.

At the same time, because he concentrated on defending the opponent's breakthrough and guarding the basket, the Lakers' offensive power also shifted from the inside to the outside, with Kobe Bryant attacking.

This can be regarded as a change for the Lakers this season.

Since last year's finals, the "ok" group has successfully completed the first handover of rights.

Shaquille O'Neal recognized that Kobe is indeed capable of taking charge on the perimeter, and that he does need someone at the basket to limit the opponent's output.

Of course, this is a tactical arrangement based on the Wizards' configuration!

Well, the original purpose of the "ok" group now is to defeat this Wizards team and complete their revenge!

Kobe averaged 27.6 points per game this season. With Shaquille O'Neal helping to open up the space, his shooting percentage reached 45%!

This data is higher than his during the same period.

Although he originally started to lead the other three of the "four major shooting guards" after this season.

But this season, with the help of Shaquille O'Neal, he is obviously more intimidating with the ball from the outside than he was at the same time.

The Wizards' perimeter players took turns confronting him, but they were unable to restrain him well.

At the end of the first quarter, thanks to Kobe's performance, the Lakers led by 3 points, 29-26.

Kobe scored 9 points in the first quarter and shot 50% from the field!

When he came off the court, he high-fived Shaquille O'Neal, with obvious excitement on his face.

They have already defeated the Wizards once in the "Christmas Game".

If that time was a coincidence, then after the first quarter, they are still leading the opponent. Does this mean that they are indeed stronger than the Wizards this season?

You will know the answer after this game is over!

However, even if he loses, he won't take it to heart. He really feels that... this is their most promising year.

On the Wizards side, Scott frowned and looked at the tactical board.

Jiang Dalin saw this and gave him some enlightenment.

Soon Scott discovered that the strongest person was already in the formation.

He pushed Prince to the top position and moved Hamilton to the second position to partner with Billups.

Yes, that's right, it's very simple for Jiang Dalin to limit Kobe's defense.

That's just copying the original Pistons!

Let these three guys deal with Kobe.

It's Prince's frontal defense again. Among the n "Kobe Bryant Terminators" in the future, he will definitely be the most worthy of the name.

It was his entanglement in the finals that made Kobe so uncomfortable.

Of course, this was implemented in conjunction with Kobe's plan to defend Hamilton who was running without the ball, and the effect was achieved just now.

Jiang Dalin has been thinking about how to defend Kobe without Jordan.

He doesn't want to use Michael Jordan's retirement and the fact that the entire team is still adjusting as an excuse to lose.

He has to prove that in the past two seasons, it was this old man who held his arms!

It's just that Kobe obviously hasn't realized what the Wizards are going to do to him.

Before coming on the court in the second quarter, he shouted along with his teammates and went on the court full of energy.

The first attack in the second quarter belonged to the Lakers. Kobe took the ball directly from the backcourt. His performance in the first quarter made him feel that he was in very good condition tonight and was very likely to create a big scene.

Prince said nothing and stood opposite him with an expressionless face. Kobe frowned. He was not very familiar with the person in front of him. It took him a long time to remember that this was the rookie drafted by the Wizards last year.

Put a second-year rookie on me?

Kobe is very unhappy!

With the ball in his hand, his desire to attack was heightened.

But soon, he discovered one thing. He couldn't shake Prince off so easily. This guy's arms were too long, and he was also very smart. He always maintained the position that enveloped him.

There was no thought of stealing at all.

It can be seen that what he wants to do is very simple, which is to continue to cause interference.

"Bang!"

The effect is still very obvious, Kobe's shot is striking.

Facing such a guy, Kobe had to think about how to deal with him.

Of course, before that, he still had some other things to consider...

Hamilton keeps going in circles there...

How should he defend this guy?
