Chapter 229: The Second Game of the Finals

The media in Los Angeles were very happy after the game because the Lakers won!

Even if it was just relying on a decisive kill, and the victory was narrowly missed, it was still a win!

In the past three years, the Lakers have never won the first game of the Finals...

Now, everything has changed, which makes them feel...

The Lakers really want to win the championship this time!

Winning the first game will undoubtedly improve the morale of the Lakers.

There is no doubt that the morale of the Wizards has been affected.

The most important thing...

The Lakers actually took advantage tactically!

This is also something that hasn't happened in the past two seasons...

Tonight really made many media, no, not just the media, but also many Lakers fans believe that this is the year with the greatest hope.

As for the entire atmosphere of the Wizards, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Tonight Jiang Dalin fought alone until the last moment, and almost no one else, except Billups, gave him enough support.

Especially Hamilton, in his opinion, he did not do what a second-in-command should do.

In fact, in terms of experience on this team, Hamilton is the one with the most experience.

But in terms of his performance tonight, he was really no different from a rookie.

During the training match the next day, the atmosphere among these guys was also very dull.

Jiang Dalin thought for a while and organized a shooting competition after the morning training.

Slowly, everyone's mood changed. After the cheers started, everyone had a smile on their face...

This made Jiang Dalin feel relieved.

To be honest, this Wizards team is not afraid of these guys smiling, which is a symbol of letting go of the burden.

To be honest, judging from the results of the first game, the Lakers' experience is superior to that of the Wizards.

Almost all of them are veterans.

Very experienced.

Besides, on the Wizards side, except for Hamilton, the other main players are still second- and third-year rookies. If they were on other teams, they would have only just started in the starting position.

Those who are not so good may even be sitting on the bench.

In comparison...

The guys on the Wizards can be regarded as "poor children become rich early".

Therefore, some psychological burdens need to be overcome.

Jiang Dalin also wanted to understand this matter, so...

At this moment, he was trying his best to make everyone relax.

At the same time, he gave Scott advice and asked him not to let the players read the news. It was only 2004 and the Internet was not that developed. As long as the players were not allowed to read the newspaper, in fact, it could be blocked to a large extent.

Outside interference on the team...

Scott also agrees with this. In his opinion, it is indeed necessary to let the players relax to a certain extent.

And when waiting in the locker room before the second game of the finals, Jiang Dalin told them what he had thought yesterday: "In this game, you just care about people, I guarantee that your rebounds will be guaranteed."

!”

Yes, Jiang Dalin changed his playing style...

Since the opponent's "OK" combination consumes him so much, he must be forced to take action.

Then he will let these people know what it means to be a star!

On this Wizards team, except for Haywood, everyone else has good three-point ability.

Anyway, tonight, the voting is over!

The noise at the scene was very loud, especially when the Wizards players came on the court, there were bursts of cheers, which constantly invaded the eardrums of the Wizards players.

To be honest…

The nervous feeling came up immediately.

Jiang Dalin directly warmed up and dunked two or three times, which made their blood boil.

Scott looked at it and gave a thumbs up.

This kid Jiang Dalin is always up to something new!

It can be seen that the fans of the Lakers are really confident, and not only they are confident, the Lakers players are also very confident when they play.

The feeling of winning a game first is different from losing a game first.

And this feeling will bring a completely different kind of psychological pressure.

The game officially started soon.

The Lakers still tried their best to push the ball towards Jiang Dalin, but this time Billups held the ball and came up with a breakthrough jumper.

When the ball flew out of his hand, Wesley defended it.

This ball did not cause any effective interference at all.

2-0!

Score as soon as you come up.

Billups nodded calmly when he returned to defense.

Not bad, a good start!

On the Lakers' side, the ball goes to Kobe.

The Wizards also changed their defense against him. Arenas immediately attacked him and forced him to break through.

Kobe looked at Jiang Dalin's imminent steps, stopped near the free throw line, turned around, and forced Arenas back with his feet. Otherwise, he might have been directly charged with a defensive foul.

When Arenas, who had no choice but to retreat, tried to move forward, Kobe had already held the ball and hit a fadeaway jumper.

2-2!

When the ball flew into the basket, the cheers from the audience suddenly became louder.

Kobe...

After the first game, many people said that Kobe was likely to win the first Finals MVP trophy of his career.

Because in the first game he did exactly what a team's absolute core should do.

The only question now is whether he can continue these conditions.

The Wizards counterattacked, Jiang Dalin made a move to catch the ball, and the Lakers really gave up the high position. Billups once again broke through Wesley and made a mid-range jumper.

Kenny Smith noticed something: "On the Wizards' side tonight, Billups was very determined in his shots!"

Barkley said: "Well, his performance in the last game was the Wizards' best performance except for Darling. It's actually quite normal to take more shots... He is actually very good."

Barkley thought of Billups' performance in training games when he was with the Wizards last season.

"His mid-range shot is very stable, much more stable than we thought. To be honest, he is definitely the most underrated shooter in the NBA!"

"Bang!"

Billups responded with a strike: Thank you!

Shut up, you!

This was the first reaction of Wizards fans who were watching the TNT channel to Barkley and Billups.

When they heard Barkley praise Billups, they knew something was going to happen.

The result is really...

This Barkley...

I helped you win the championship last season, but you are so...

Repaying kindness with hatred, right?

However, the moment the ball popped up, they couldn't blame Barkley...

Jiang Dalin rushed to grab the rebound from the side, then faked a move under the basket, shook Shaq away, and succeeded in a powerful dunk.

The second attack scored.

Phil Jackson instinctively frowned.

He felt something, but couldn't put it into words...

4-2!

The Lakers still gave the ball to Kobe.

Arenas's defensive method was the same as before, and Kobe's jump shot was still difficult.

To be honest, scoring this kind of goal is a sign of strength.

Not entering...

Maybe more normal!

"Bang!"

The result this time is normal.

Arenas, who guarded Kobe for one round, had a more focused look on his face!

Be on guard!

I can prevent this time!

Then I can prevent the second time!

Arenas now has only one thought in his mind. The Wizards lost the last game entirely because of him. If he could have defended Kobe Bryant's attack one more time, wouldn't he have lost the winning goal?

It is also for this reason that in this game, he was focused on not beating Kobe on the offensive end, but on the defensive end.

Of course, if he defended in this round, he would indeed have more thoughts on attacking in the next round.

Since I guarded him on the defensive end, can I also beat him on the offensive end?

"Bang!"

It turns out...

Arenas is indeed not the "general" who scored 60 points on Kobe Bryant.

His shots seemed to be struggling under Kobe's defense.

The ball popped up and Shaquille O'Neal missed a defensive rebound, so he was very focused on this round and judged the position very well.

Shaq puts most of his energy on the defensive end, otherwise he would not be able to win the "rebounding title". To put it bluntly...

Shaq is the best at rebounding among all those who are not the "rebounding king".

The only pity is that...

Jiang Dalin is also the strongest among those who are best at rebounding!

"Crack!"

Just when Shaq was about to grab the rebound, Jiang Dalin took the lead and grabbed the rebound.

Shaq watched helplessly as Jiang Dalin protected the rebound.

His whole expression changed.

His eyes are about to burst...

As soon as he landed, he pounced towards Jiang Dalin.

However, after he landed, there was an obvious pause. After the pause, when he looked towards Jiang Dalin again, Jiang Dalin had already taken off and succeeded with his hands behind his back!

This button shines brightly...

That's how it looks to Wizards fans anyway.

This is also the case in the eyes of the Wizards players...

Jiang Dalin's dunk proved what he said before the game, you can shoot whatever you want and leave the rebound to me!

Not everyone can grab two consecutive offensive rebounds in front of Shaquille O'Neal.

And Jiang Dalin did it!

Shaquille O'Neal looked at Jiang Dalin as he let go of the basket and dropped it.

To be honest, after becoming an old enemy with this guy recently, he can feel more and more how fast time passes...

In this shot, he did not lose to Jiang Dalin, but to time.

If it were 1995, when he was still the "Magic Shark", he would have to compete with Jiang Dalin to see who was the king of the penalty area.

6-2!

The voices of the Lakers fans at the scene became slightly quieter and no longer so loud.

Jiang Dalin's "property" makes them afraid to make loud noises anymore...

Kobe handed the ball to Shaq at this time.

He could see that there was anger inside Shaq.

These two people are indeed good partners, because when Shaq was still hesitating whether he should hit it, Kobe gave the ball to his hands, so that he didn't have to hesitate at all whether he should hit it...

Instead, you only need to think about how to fight!

Jiang Dalin stood behind him immediately and kept giving him "kidney" warnings.

Shaq noticed this, first tentatively moved to the right, then suddenly turned around and forced his way inside from the other side, and was about to pass under the basket.

Jump up and dunk from the other side with both hands!

"Shark" goes to sea!

Shaquille O'Neal proved he can still dunk!

Jiang Dalin was a little helpless, he really couldn't bear it!

Moreover, Shaq's current weight is not completely unbalanced. It can be said that his overall condition is that except that his jumping height is not as high as when he was at his absolute peak, other aspects are indeed better than what he was at the same time.

But he originally won the championship with Wade two years later.

In 2004, his shooting percentage at the basket was over 60%!

While the condition is still much better than before...

How could Jiang Dalin resist?

When a player is strong enough, he cannot be defended by ordinary defense. This can be seen from all top stars.

Let's put it this way, if he is a star who can be defended, then he is definitely not a superstar...

The same is true for Shaq. Even if Jiang Dalin is a "Best Defensive Player" player, it is impossible to completely restrict a player like Shaq under the basket.

As long as he has a chance to get into the basket, he can complete the "shark into the sea" no matter which side he comes from. This... Unless the strength, jumping and tonnage are better than the opponent, it is possible to stop him, right?

Anyway, even a pervert like Jiang Dalin cannot stop Shaq who is still in his prime.

It can only be said that it makes him feel more strenuous than before...

In this round, when Shaq returned to defense, he touched his waist and gasped a few times. This was the pressure Jiang Dalin brought to him.

If it were another defender, I'm afraid he would hit him with his butt and then complete the dunk...

From such a comparison, you can see what kind of interference Jiang Dalin's defense caused!

Jiang Dalin can support Shaq so casually.

But Shaq can't stand up to Jiang Dalin so casually.

To be honest, after losing last season, Shaq once wanted to practice his mid-range shooting...

But in the end I decided to spend my time on physical fitness.

But at this moment, watching Jiang Dalin complete the mid-range shot after the bunny hop, he suddenly felt...

You really need to practice this middle distance...

Let’s not talk about whether Jiang Dalin wins this time, even if he wins just once, he knows that Jiang Dalin will definitely say 2 to 1!

He will definitely have to fight Jiang Dalin for a few more years. Before he completely comes down from his peak period, he doesn't want the outcome to be decided just like this...

but……

These ideas will not be implemented until the end of the season at the earliest...

However, if Jiang Dalin knew what Shaq was thinking at this moment, he would definitely feel that he was amazing, being able to make the thirty-one-two-year-old Shark still think about how to improve himself...

He is considered the best player in the league, right? Does Kupchak have to give him another thumbs-up?

Here Arenas received the pass from Billups, and without thinking, he took a shot directly, and the ball went straight into the basket...

In front of Kobe...

Scored 3 points!
