The original Kobe fell into the Pistons' arrangement.

One annoying little goblin plus another annoying little goblin. Only those who have tried it will know how refreshing this feeling is.

Although Shaquille O'Neal is now willing to cooperate with him, the defense and offense of outside players will basically not change much.

The original Pistons also used Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace to deal with Shaquille O'Neal.

Although there is some linkage between the "ok" groups, there is no problem for the Wizards.

Because they have Jiang Dalin on the inside!

With his top defense and Haywood's follow-up defense, it's true that Shaquille O'Neal still has offensive power, but the rest of the Wizards really don't need to help with defense.

They can focus on dealing with Kobe on the outside.

The only problem...

The current Lakers team is very different from the original Lakers team.

In addition to the "ok" combination, this Lakers team also has others!

When Kobe broke through with the ball, facing Prince's long-hand interference, he did not force a layup this time, but distributed the ball to Wesley on the outside.

"Mickey Mouse" scored again with the ball and easily completed the goal.

Kobe's ability to cut through defenses is beyond words.

Once again it was the Wizards' turn to attack, and the Lakers' defensive method did not change. O'Neal was still responsible for the defense.

After Jiang Dalin turned around this time, he immediately passed the ball, and Haywood "eat the cake" under the basket to complete the goal.

In the following time, both sides made their own moves, and the score increased alternately.

Until the end of the first half, the two teams were 58 to 56, and the Wizards only led by 2 points.

I don’t know if it’s because Shaquille O’Neal was willing to give up his core position, but Kobe was not as extreme as he was at this time.

His breakthrough and passing are combined well.

Therefore, a person's experience will indeed affect his character.

The original Kobe was so extreme, and part of it was because he had encountered a lot of things, and some "disharmony" in his opinion.

For example, in a certain county incident, his first reaction was why Shaquille O'Neal didn't speak for me.

At this time, he was actually in an extreme state, which led to the 2003-04 season, especially the playoffs of the 2004 season, where he was completely alone and did not consider cooperating with the rest of the team at all.

This was also one of the important factors in losing the 2004 finals.

And now, he is about to sit in the absolute core position, and Shaquille O'Neal is also willing to let him express himself at critical moments. Everything is so harmonious, and his entire style of play is also much more reasonable.

The Wizards made some changes to their arrangements for the second half.

At the same time, the "shark-killing" tactic was introduced.

The person who executed the shark-cutting tactic was Boozer. The first time he cut a shark, he was a little nervous. When he struck, he was a little too light. Then he saw the power of Shaquille O'Neal.

There was a "pop" sound, but the ball was not knocked down. Shaquille O'Neal stood up from the ground and completed a powerful dunk.

The referee's whistle blew and O'Neal added a free throw.

"Rookie, it looks like you still have a lot to learn!"

Shaquille O'Neal walked to the free throw line with a smile.

Jiang Dalin said to Boozer: "Did you hear that? He asked you to strike harder. If you don't know what to do, then let me show you!"

When someone hits him, hit him harder. Jiang Dalin has never heard this request in his life.

Shaquille O'Neal:...

Jiang Dalin's eagerness to try clearly disturbed Shaquille O'Neal, and he "unfortunately" failed to make the extra free throw.

Damn it!

Anyway, Shaquille O'Neal clenched his fist hard.

Very upset.

Then he saw Jiang Dalin eagerly approaching him. At that time, he wanted to shout: Don't come over!

Then he realized that this round was the Wizards' offense.

Hamilton missed the ball from outside.

But by slipping Kobe around, it can be considered as achieving the goal.

Looking back, Kobe missed the jumper when he turned over and wanted to pass the ball inside, allowing Shaquille O'Neal to catch the ball and hit two.

The Wizards' entire defense relies a little too much on the perimeter.

He had to let Shaquille O'Neal play two more, so that the Wizards could concentrate their entire defense toward the basket.

But Shaquille O'Neal really didn't want to catch the ball.

Kobe signaled several times, but he pretended not to see it.

Just fight it yourself!

This is not cowardice, this is called sincerity!

Um……

Follow your heart!

Kobe slowly held the ball and pressed inside. After playing against Prince for a while, he also found the opponent's weakness. This guy's body is a bit weak, and he can use this for singles!

"Whoosh!"

Kobe found this problem and calmly hit the ball into the basket.

However, Kobe, who had just clenched his fist and walked back, soon felt pain in his balls again, because Hamilton started running around the court again, which made him couldn't help but want to ask...

Why don't you run a marathon?

Is it realistic for you to run a marathon on the basketball court?

Kobe is very blue and thin.

But he had to follow Hamilton around the field.

Although Hamilton's running position is not as top-notch as Reggie Miller's, but he is better because of his good physical fitness. He runs so leisurely and unhurriedly. When the time comes, his opponents will naturally be far behind him. Regarding this, Hamilton

It has been proven in many games.

So although he didn't get a chance to take action this round, he really wasn't in a hurry at all.

Moreover, although he did not score in this round, the ball went to Jiang Dalin smoothly. After he missed the jump shot, he grabbed the offensive rebound and completed the second attack.

Inadvertently, he showed off his beast-like physical fitness.

Especially the person opposite him grabbing the board was Shaquille O'Neal.

Judging from the replay, Jiang Dalin almost intercepted the rebound above Shaq's head.

The scene was filled with cheers, and this scene is truly something you will never tire of.

The game was in a stalemate.

Until 6 minutes and 14 seconds of the fourth quarter, the score difference between the two teams was only between 1 and 3 points.

Both sides have points that the other cannot handle.

This also makes the game between the two sides a constant back-and-forth.

As a neutral fan, I naturally enjoyed watching it.

But for Wizards fans, they are looking forward to seeing the Wizards create a "dynasty", but the current situation is that it is probably gone.

This Lakers team is stronger than before.

Of course, from a growth perspective, their Wizards still have room to grow. The Lakers have reached the final stage where they need to produce results, and they have no room for improvement...

From this perspective, it is actually very good that this game ended like this. You must know that during the "Christmas Game", they also lost to the Lakers.

But now, they all still have hope of winning.

This is progress.

There is still at least four or five months before the playoffs and the finals.

The Wizards can still get along and grow!

Think so...

Wizards fans are very happy.

The situation on the court gradually became clear at this time. Hamilton successfully consumed Kobe's physical energy in his constant running. This can be seen from the fact that he was increasingly unable to cope with Prince's long-arm interference.

More importantly, Prince has just come up. He has only one purpose tonight, and that is to deal with Kobe. Therefore, during the bench rotation period, the Wizards will take Arenas and replace him so that he can have enough

The physical ability to cope with Kobe.

He was facing off against Kobe throughout the game, but in fact, he only played less than 20 minutes.

Although Arenas sat on the bench, he had already played 27 minutes in this game, and when facing a substitute rotation lineup that was not strong enough, he was really handy and quickly scored 15 points.

Has scored 18 points so far.

This can be regarded as the current change of the Wizards. When they want to make the wings stronger, they can send Prince. Similarly, if they want the Wizards' bench to become more offensive, they can also use Prince.

Arenas was put on the bench. Although this did not fully utilize Arenas, there were indeed several effective lineups for the Wizards.

These changes are enough for them to cope with other teams in the league, including the Lakers.

Because in this stalemate, the Wizards relied on this set of changes to successfully defeat the Lakers.

They narrowly defeated the Lakers by 100 to 95, 5 points.

In this game, Jiang Dalin scored 30 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, as well as 1 steal and 4 assists.

Shaquille O'Neal's performance was not much different from him, with 29 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Yes, in this game, Shaquille O'Neal sent out 5 assists. Although 3 of these 5 assists were passed to Kobe, he was indeed helping in this game.

Kobe scored 34 points in this game, the highest score in the game.

It's just that he was out of breath after the game and only had Hamilton in his eyes!

This kind of freak who treats the race like a marathon is really disgusting!

Kobe looked at his indifferent expression, walked to the sidelines, picked up Gatorade, took a sip, and wiped his sweat with a towel. His expression was still bright, as if the game had just begun!

In fact, Hamilton's shooting percentage in this game was not very high, he only scored 14 points.

But it can be seen from Kobe's expression that he wanted to throw him over his shoulder. Even though Hamilton didn't score many points, he still played a role in containing him on the court.

Billups scored 16 points and Arenas scored 19 points. The two of them combined were barely equal to one Kobe.

But that's enough!

After winning the game, the audience cheered one after another.

The Lakers are first in the Western Conference, and they defeated them in the "Christmas Day Game".

At first, Wizards fans were really worried. Even if Jiang Dalin came back, the Wizards would continue their losing streak.

Fortunately, we won in the end!

And in this game that was not easy to win, the fans saw the growth of the Wizards!

And from the looks of it, this is not the end, this team still has room to grow!

This is undoubtedly better news than winning against the Lakers.

However, this game must have consumed a lot of their energy, and they lost the next game against the Nets.

The fast-paced offense and defense overwhelmed the Wizards' formation.

Jiang Dalin scored 40 points alone and did not lead the team to victory.

But after the game, Jiang Dalin did not take the defeat to heart: "This is just a regular season, everyone needs to adjust, that's for sure!"

And his words were also verified in the following schedule. When all the schedule ended in January, the Wizards won a wave of three consecutive victories.

With the arrival of February, the starting lineup for the 2004 All-Star Weekend has also been decided.

East side: Allen Iverson, Kidd, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Jiang Dalin;

West side: Francis, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming;

It's still the same as last year, with small forwards dominating the East and power forwards dominating the West. With the presence of Yao Ming, Francis is still in the starting lineup although his statistics are not that good this season.

Shaquille O'Neal felt like crying when he saw that the No. 5 players on both sides were the top picks in China.

No matter where he travels, he will never be a starter in the East or West.

Moreover, this is not just once, not twice, it is estimated that until he retires...

This made Shark very sad, so he ate two bags of potato chips. After Kobe knew about this, he took him to exercise for two hours.

Later, he cried so much that he really wanted to find someone to hug him.

Hamilton also entered the final Eastern Conference substitute lineup and returned to the All-Star stage again. The "Mask Man" was not too surprised.

After getting the endorsement from AJ, he no longer cares about whether he is an All-Star or not.

Billups was almost selected. His statistics this year were not bad, 16.3 points and 7.1 assists. Unfortunately, there were too many defenders in the Eastern Conference, so when selecting, more interior players were chosen.

The Washington media complained on his behalf, but that was all they could do. He would definitely not make the All-Star team this season.

The Wizards' first game in February was against the Spurs!

The Spurs have done well in the past month. They ended their January journey with a wave of 7 consecutive victories, currently the team with the longest winning streak in the league.

From the beginning of this game, the Spurs had the upper hand.

Until the end of the first half, they still led by six or seven points.

As soon as the second half started, Jiang Dalin asked for the ball. When he was holding the ball near the high post and observing, Tim Duncan behind him had already begun to exert force. Jiang Dalin saw this and suddenly turned around to kill inside. But at this time, Tim Duncan had already followed

As expected, he quickly defended and successfully intercepted Jiang Dalin's impact.

Jiang Dalin's final shot was interfered by Tim Duncan.

There was a "bang" sound.

Jiang Dalin, who had just landed, jumped up quickly and slammed the basketball that bounced off the rim into the basket in front of Tim Duncan.
