So far in this game, the Wizards' perimeter defense has been nothing short of outstanding.

pulpy!

The combination of "Crazy Fan" and Juwan Howard on this team makes the Wizards' perimeter defense like Pan Jinlian at home alone. He can come and go when he wants. At most, he will encounter Wu Dalang to interfere and kick.

It can be kicked away.

Michael Jordan specially switched to the third position to defend against Juwan Howard. He was very powerful and tonnage enough, but the problem was that Juwan Howard did not follow him 1v1 at all. After getting the ball, he immediately passed the ball without a chance to make a shot.

The excellent vision brought by his height of 2.06 meters allows him to find the person receiving the ball very well.

I don't have any trouble with him at all.

The most important thing is that everyone in the Nuggets' starting lineup originally averaged double digits in points per game this season. James Posey, the lowest, averaged 10.1 points per game, and "Crazy Fan" averaged the highest.

You can get 21.4 points!

In a lineup, all five players have certain scoring ability and strong offensive points. In fact, even strong defensive teams like the Spurs or Pistons will have difficulty restricting them. The Wizards' configuration is not the league's top defense by any means.

The configuration of a strong team...

To a large extent, the Wizards were beaten by the opponent because they could not guard against the opponent's offense.

"Bang!"

However, this time Jiang Dalin, who had enough energy to run out to cover up the defense, completed the interference well and broke through Tyronn Lue's "Crazy Fan" who missed a mid-range jumper.

Go back and fight.

Haywood got stuck very well this time, and LaFrentz couldn't get around it.

Face to face with Antonio.

The latter's hand touched the ball first, and Jiang Dalin hit the ball directly toward the backboard. When the ball rebounded, Jiang Dalin jumped up again and protected the backboard with a "pop" sound.

Antonio didn't know what to say...

Anyway, he felt powerless!

Every time he meets such a monster with unreasonable talents, he feels particularly uncomfortable!

In fact, Antonio was considered a "little genius" from all over the country at that time. In the 1995 draft, the number one pick was fellow power forward Joe Smith, who was the second pick.

Talent is really worthless in front of talent.

That's how he lost to Joe Smith on the draft stage, just like how he lost to Jiang Dalin in this rebound fight.

When the ball came into Michael Jordan's hands, he observed it and wisely chose to press the pace to pass halftime. But just when James Posey thought he would not attack so quickly, Jordan held the ball outside the three-point line.

Pull it up and cast it.

This is not Jordan's normal way of scoring.

But the ball fell into the net.

The score was tied.

Michael Jordan stuck out his tongue and fought back.

At this moment, he showed his arrogance.

For a moment, the old fans took a deep breath and felt that everything was back!

Van Exel held the ball past halftime and scored a three-pointer, making Tyronn Lue shake his head.

It’s so hard to guard against!

The score difference came to 3 points again.

After Jordan passed halftime, James Posey did not give him any space to hold the ball this time. From the beginning, he used his body to force the defense. Although Michael Jordan's dribbling was not affected, it was difficult to complete a breakthrough for a while.

.

James Posey has the body and strength of the No. 3 position, and he is also a strong man with explosive physical fitness. He is not inferior to Jordan in confrontation.

Hamilton floated out from the side. After receiving the ball, he opened his hand and shot!

The ball flew straight into the basket.

It's a pity that it's a two-point violation.

This was his second catch-and-shoot shot in the first quarter. He only took 3 shots in total, so his efficiency was very good.

For the time being, it seemed that wearing the mask did not cause him any discomfort.

It also made Hamilton less concerned about the mask on his face.

This time Tyronn Lue chose to fight closely, but "Crazy Fan" rushed past him with strong confrontation.

Jordan took a step from the side, forcing him to move sideways in another direction.

Van Exel immediately changed his offensive ideas, moved sideways, paused briefly, and then jumped up to prepare for a shot.

Heywood opened his hands like a big spider and pounced on it.

What was waiting for him on the opposite side was his shot, which turned into a pass. The ball passed Haywood's side and flew behind him.

Haywood quickly turned around, but his turning speed was somewhat slower than the flight speed of the ball.

It looked like the Nuggets made an easy attack on the frame after receiving the ball inside.

With a "pop" sound, a hand came out from the side and stopped in front of LaFrentz's open hands, just a dozen centimeters away.

It’s Jiang Dalin!

When Haywood rushed forward, he subconsciously chose to cover up and intercepted Van Exel's pass.

I took two steps forward with the ball, but I felt that I could no longer control the ball. I hurriedly passed it forward. Tyronn Lue, who was beaten on the defensive end, received the ball and sprinted quickly, allowing the Nuggets to quickly return to defense.

, this is considered a meritorious service.

Then Tyronn Lue immediately dumped the ball to Hamilton.

The "Mask Man" who followed behind took the ball in front of the three-point line and raised his hand to shoot!

Come in again!

The score is 2 points ahead!

"omg!"

"It's Richard again!"

"He hit a three-pointer!"

"He has already scored 8 points..."

"He looks great with the mask on, just like Batman puts on his mask and Iron Man puts on his suit!"

"OK, if this is the case, I hope he will always play like this in the future!"

"Mask Man!"

"That will be his cool nickname!"

The commentator on the commentary desk was full of passion, and the nickname "Mask Man" spread from his mouth, to the ears of all Wizards fans at the scene, and to all the viewers watching the game in front of the TV.

In the ears...

Relying on this counterattack, the Wizards successfully ended the first quarter with a 3-point lead.

Hamilton scored 11 points in a single quarter!

And 4 out of 5 shots are extremely efficient!

Michael Jordan smiled at him for the first time between games: "Man, you look great!"

Typical "smile when you win, mmp when you lose"!

Hamilton was also surprised by his surprisingly good touch tonight. He subconsciously looked at his hands and touched the mask on his face...

Will this thing bring me good luck?

A seemingly absurd idea flashed through his mind, but he chose to believe it.

Many NBA players are actually very superstitious.

If others don't say it, they just say "Boss Joe." Before the game, Jiang Dalin saw him wandering around in the locker room wearing North Carolina's shorts.

This is the superstition of "Boss Joe". He believes that the shorts he wore when he was a freshman in the game against Georgetown can bring him good luck.

As for other things, there are even more outrageous ones, such as inducing vomiting before the game, one's own stockings must be on the same level, and one must wear the opponent's shorts the night before every game...

Countless!
