Kenyon Martin plus Yao Ming.

The No. 1 pick in 2000 met the No. 1 pick in 2002.

If nothing else, one thing is for sure...

The rest of the league is going to be in trouble.

And this obviously won't be Ballmer's last move. After sending away Mobley, the Rockets now lack a wing with defensive capabilities.

If this can be supplemented, then Kenyon Martin's supplementary defense coupled with Yao Ming's top defense can completely make up for the Rockets' problems in perimeter defense.

If Francis doesn't have to worry about whether his defense will become a liability and focuses more on the offensive end, there is no doubt that he will be one of the best number one positions in the league.

He is a "scoring" number one position.

He prefers to attack by himself, and when the league reform this summer and restrict the "hand touch" rule, everyone will know how good Francis is!

The most important point is that he was sent to the Magic without warning in exchange for Tracy McGrady, which completely destroyed his self-confidence...

This was also the fundamental reason why he gave up treatment completely.

After this transaction, there is one thing that Jiang Dalin can be sure of.

The entire Rockets team is developing in a direction he can't predict!

Maybe the Rockets will become his number one enemy in the future.

Of course, his main focus now is to win the first "three consecutive championships" of his career!

Then it’s time to plan your future carefully.

One thing is for sure, his future is definitely not with the Wizards.

The management took advantage of him to compete in the Asian Championships and did so many things first and later. This was unacceptable to him.

Either betray completely or communicate properly. Now that there are cracks, of course he can't stay for this team for his entire career!

However, he will not reveal this.

People who want to leave are always quiet!

The Wizards, who had been getting along well before the All-Star Weekend, showed their strength as the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference after the regular season restarted, winning consecutive games.

The running-in mentioned here does not mean that this Wizards team has reached their perfect state. In fact, no matter how much the backcourt pair of Arenas and Billups work together, they cannot be fully integrated.

level of performance.

Now I just say that the results that can be achieved this season are already the best!

This Wizards team still has weaknesses. It is definitely not as invincible as last season, but at least it is still an NBA Finals-level team. Jiang Dalin definitely believes in this.

At the end of February, Jiang Dalin won the "Eastern Player of the Month Award" for February with luxurious data of 298 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks per game.

Previously, the entire team was in the process of running in, so Jiang Dalin's style of play focused more on the defensive end.

Now, after the entire team is on track, he can finally show his true fighting power.

It is worth mentioning that after this month's explosion, Jiang Dalin's scoring average this season has reached 287 points, which has exceeded McGrady's 28 points per game.

As long as he continues to do so, Jiang Dalin may be able to win the first "scoring title" in his career.

After going through the "dismal" situation of last year's season, in which he received nothing except an "All-NBA Team", "Best Defensive Player Award" and "First Team Defensive".

This season, Jiang Dalin will finally usher in a bumper year.

Originally, Jiang Dalin didn't care much about these awards.

However, watching others win awards last year made him eager for awards. Now, as long as there are awards that he can win, he hopes that he can get them all!

Even the "scoring champion" award!

Moreover, some awards must be won while you are young. Is it appropriate for Jiang Dalin to win a "Slam Dunk King" when he is 30 years old?

Similarly, when Jiang Dalin turns 30, he will no longer be able to fight for a "scoring champion"!

The most important thing is that now that he has such an opportunity in front of him, it would be unreasonable for him not to fight for it!

The "Best of the Month" in the Western Conference belongs to Kobe.

The average of 276 points, 55 rebounds and 56 assists per game is also very luxurious.

Especially in terms of points per game, it threatens Jiang Dalin's posture.

But Jiang Dalin did not regard him as an opponent.

There is no doubt that what Kobe now desires more is the stage of the finals. He is so eager to succeed!

Especially now, when O'Neal is willing to assist him, as long as he succeeds, he can prove that he can also lead a team to success as the "big boss"!

Perhaps, this is what Kupchak wants to see, because at that point, it is proved that the replacement of the old and new Lakers is successful. If they cannot win the championship, then no matter how famous the "ok" combination is, they are destined to be

Disbandment, this is certain!

If the combination cannot be successful, then no matter how powerful they are on the court, they are destined not to exist in this league.

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, this is the eternal iron law of this alliance.

Moreover, it is difficult for Kobe to become the "scoring champion". Even if O'Neal turns a blind eye and cedes the leadership power of the Lakers to him, it is impossible to say that he cedes all his shooting rights to Kobe.

, this is impossible!

Therefore, if Jiang Dalin wants to be the "scoring champion" this season, there is only one key opponent, and that is Tracy McGrady!

Speaking of which, I don’t know why this season, but everyone’s scoring average is not high.

Originally, McGrady was the scoring champion with an average of 28 points per game, and the second place was Peja and Kevin Garnett, both averaging 242 points per game...

Due to some changes this season, although there are more Jiang Dalin and Kobe.

But overall, everyone's scoring average is still not very high.

On March 2, after the league announced that Jiang Dalin won the "Eastern Player of the Month Award", Jiang Dalin scored 40 points in the first game in March!

Officially announced that he will attack the "scoring king".

But McGrady obviously wouldn't let him win the "scoring title" so easily. The day after Jiang Dalin scored 40 points, in the game between the Magic and the Clippers, McGrady scored 43 points, more than Jiang Dalin.

3 points.

Although the Magic lost the game in the end, for McGrady, this is not important. The important point is... this year's scoring champion must be him!

The Magic have been in trouble since January, and their goal is directly at the No. 1 pick in 2004!

For a star in his prime, this is definitely an insult!

In particular, after the Magic management has revealed their intention to draft Howard, a high school student, McGrady's only idea now is to win the "scoring champion" this season.

Then use the "scoring king" to attract teams that need him more and can help him win the championship!

Of course, if he follows the original path, McGrady will soon prove that he is not very motivated to win the championship.

Not to mention anything else, when Yao Ming played with him, this first round was really sad.

And when McGrady got injured, Yao Ming easily passed the first round. If he hadn't been injured in the second round, it would be hard to say who would win between the Rockets and the Lakers in the end!

When Jiang Dalin saw him taking action, he also took the initiative in the next game and scored 38 points again!

McGrady responded with 36 points...

The two of them competed for the "scoring title" and soon attracted the attention of the entire league.

This also made it possible that on March 8, when the Wizards faced the Magic, David Stern arranged for this game to be broadcast live across the United States!

Otherwise it would have to be this old man!

He is really able to "take advantage of every crack"!

When McGrady saw Jiang Dalin, his face was full of fighting spirit. This game will let everyone see who is more qualified to win this year's "scoring champion"!

Scott was unhappy when he saw this guy provoking Jiang Dalin like this: "I can lose this game tonight, but Tracy must be locked up for me!"

After hearing these words, the Wizards outsiders looked at Tracy McGrady differently.

Jiang Dalin and Scott had a strong bear hug.

Otherwise, I tried so hard to get him back.

It’s really not in vain!

This guy is so caring!

With the defense set up like this, there is nothing to say about the offense. Just one sentence: Give the ball to Jiang Dalin!

The game officially started with cheers.

According to what Scott said, the moment Billups reached the frontcourt with the ball, he gave the ball to Jiang Dalin. Power forward Andrew De Klerk stepped forward immediately, and McGrady stood up.

Next to him, he looked ready to defend himself at any time.

Jiang Dalin, who noticed this scene, did not flinch and turned towards McGrady. When McGrady came over, he put the ball together with both hands and walked around him. At the same time, he took a big step to reach the basket.

, with a fierce blow, he smashed the ball into the basket.

Andrew had tried his best, and you could tell by the look on his face that he was wearing a "mask of pain".

And when the sound of the basket exploding rang in his ears, he realized...

I was actually detained!

He stared blankly at Jiang Dalin, who was opposite him, fighting back amid huge cheers. When he turned to look at McGrady, he had to accept his disgusted look.

2-0!

The person with the ball on the Magic team is naturally McGrady.

As he moved from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Tracy McGrady, who was still awake, glanced at him like this: "Hey guys, this defense is all coming for him." He just glanced at this and saw at least two passing opportunities.

He also passed it on!

If you want the fish to bite, then feed the fish!

Juwan Howard, who transferred to the Magic this season, easily made the basket.

2-2 draw!

The Magic changed their defensive method. They began to target Jiang Dalin's high position and prevent him from receiving the ball in the high position. Seeing this situation, Jiang Dalin simply fought directly under the basket to create space. After asking for the ball, he turned around and smashed it.

Basketball, as long as he can use his physical fitness to score goals, then for Jiang Dalin, it is as easy as eating noodles!

4-2!

Maddie was a little anxious...

Because the last pass did not make the Wizards give up their intention to target him at all. He had just reached the frontcourt with the ball, and these people were still looking at him eagerly, as if they were looking at some little sheep that they must catch.

Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!

At this time, McGrady was still persuading himself to stay calm, and his pass was passed to Howard immediately, but this time Jiang Dalin made up for it in time, and the Magic missed the attack.

The ball advanced rapidly in Billups' hands, and the Magic's entire defensive formation was not yet firm. Billups could have rushed in to complete the score.

McGrady looked at such a great scoring opportunity and silently said to himself: Now you can't help but want to score by yourself, right?

Billups did what he thought, this time.

Just when he rushed to the basket and jumped up, McGrady discovered that his hand shape was wrong!

this……

Sell ​​high?

When he reacted, Jiang Dalin jumped up and slammed the ball into the basket.

McGrady looked like he had seen a ghost, couldn't he hit this kind of ball by himself?

Is Jiang Dalin your father?

Do you want you to feed the ball like this?

McGrady roared in his heart, and at the same time, another sentence came out weakly from his heart: So envious!

If his teammates can pass the ball to him like this, and he wins the scoring title, isn’t that just a matter of grasping it?

Is it still a bit difficult?

It's a pity that good teammates really depend on fate.

McGrady carried the ball to the frontcourt for the third time and shook his head helplessly.

Looking at the big "Kazilan" eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but want to shout: You have to play like this, don't you?

This time he stopped passing the ball, and he could tell that the main purpose of these guys from the Wizards tonight was not to win, but to prevent him from scoring!

It doesn’t matter if we compete for the “No. 1 pick” and don’t want to win, you are a team that wants to enter the playoffs and win three consecutive championships, so why don’t you...

Oh, they've won enough, not to mention this game...

Maddie suddenly discovered this and almost wanted to cry again.

How can the gap between people be so big?

McGrady breaks through with the ball. Let's take as many points as we can in this game.

At this time, McGrady's scoring talent is really high. Arenas was one step ahead of him, and he was also a player with a quick first step, but McGrady still passed him in one step.

It's easy to get by!

Rushing into the basket, McGrady pulled the lever to avoid Haywood who was defending him, and was about to put the basket into the frame gracefully, but at this moment, another hand appeared above the ball.

"Pa"!

A loud bang!

The basketball flew towards the audience auditorium like a volleyball.

A thunderbolt hat!

Cheers once again filled the entire arena.

Magic head coach "River Doc" had to call a timeout.

Although the Magic's main task has long been no longer winning, the problem now is that McGrady can't score points either...

In addition, looking at the state of the two teams tonight, the Magic should not be able to win. Since they can't win, then he can definitely make some moves. It is a well-known thing...

Chicken soup will go rancid if you don’t drink it!
