I was filled with emotion in my heart. After regaining control of the ball, Jason Kidd quickly advanced. This time he did not stand on the outside and observe for too long like before. Instead, he directly held the ball and went inside. Tyronn Lue did not

After reacting, he waited for the opponent to seize the position, then twisted his body and chased Jason Kidd.

He is only 1.83 meters tall, while Kidd is a rare tall defender in the NBA during this period, with a height of 1.93 meters!

It was already difficult for Tyronn Lue to defend him, but now that he is still at a disadvantage in terms of positioning, it is even more difficult to defend him.

This forced Haywood to make up for it. However, in the third month after entering the league, he is an "older rookie" again. Haywood's understanding of tactics is more thorough than that of ordinary rookies. This delay came out and blocked Jason Kidd very well.

When given the chance to pass the ball inside, Kenyon Martin could only pull outside to get the ball.

He went out of the basket and Haywood stood still. He really may not be able to cause offensive interference to Haywood.

Kidd had no choice but to give the ball to the outside.

The first time "Fan Bingbing" got the ball, Jiang Dalin pounced on him. Without a chance to make a move, the ball continued to move. Jason Richardson picked up the ball while walking, and with his explosive physical fitness, he completed it in front of Michael Jordan.

Breakthrough, jump up from the basket and fight without any loss, hit the ball into the basket...

Not even 4 minutes into the game, three Nets players had already scored with the assist of Jason Kidd.

This is how the Nets are playing this season.

With Jason Kidd as the core, playing the most extreme "team collective finishing shot" style of basketball, this can also be seen from the average points per game of each Nets player so far.

Kenyon Martin has 14.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks. His scoring average is the highest on the Nets.

Ranked second is Keith Van Horn, who averaged 14.8 points per game. Yes, that's 0.1 points less than Kenyon Martin.

Ranked third is Jason Kidd, who has injected the soul into this team, averaging 14.6 points per game, which is only 0.1 points less than Keith Van Horn, who ranks second.

Ranked fourth is Jason Richardson, averaging 14.3 points per game.

Ranking fifth is Corey Kidders, averaging 13.1 points per game.

Everyone in the entire starting lineup averages double figures, and their scoring averages are so close to each other. This is the only one in the NBA, and it is a very rare phenomenon even in the history of the NBA.

Everyone can score.

Let the Nets rank first in the Eastern Conference.

This can be said to be completely opposite to the Wizards.

Compared with their egalitarianism, the Wizards are the most extreme and the most typical "star finisher" in the NBA. Michael Jordan averaged 25.8 points per game, Hamilton averaged 24.3 points per game, and Jiang Dalin averaged 16.4 points per game...

Apart from the three of them, the Wizards' top scorer is Bobby Simmons, who averages 8.4 points per game, more than twice as much as Jiang Dalin. Behind Bobby Simmons is Haywood with 7.6 points...

This game can be said to be a collision between team basketball and individual heroic basketball.

At present, it seems that the "average" style of play of the Nets is really difficult to defend, especially like tonight, these guys' touch is a bit fast and they have more "flowering", which makes them even more difficult to defend.

However, the Wizards couldn't guard the Nets.

The Nets also couldn't guard him.

Richardson rushed to the basket to complete the attack, and Michael Jordan responded with a three-point goal in the next possession.

Kenny Smith: "Wow, Michael Jordan hit a three-pointer!"

It's not surprising that the "God of Basketball" scored, but it was really surprising that he made a three-pointer.

Covering up the name Michael Jordan and looking at his three-point shooting percentage and number of shots, people who didn't know better thought he was an inside player.

"Tonight, the Wizards took a lot of three-pointers!"

Barkley noticed a difference with the Wizards.

"So far, they have taken three shots from outside the three-point line..."

This is not the way the Wizards always play.

Most teams in the league have realized that the Wizards are a team that relies heavily on mid-range shots. Likewise, these commentators have also realized this.

If anything, they should have discovered this first. They kept mentioning these things in the commentary, which made some team's coaching staff discover this brilliant point.

But in this game, the Wizards suddenly changed their style.

Kenny Smith: "It seems that the Wizards are gradually realizing that their style of play has been studied and understood by other teams."

Barkley was a little strange: "Michael Jordan doesn't take the initiative to change his playing style!"

Even though others know it, the Wizards rely heavily on mid-range shots.

But is Jordan afraid?

Certainly not.

He used a mid-range fadeaway jumper to win the "three consecutive championships". A guy like this is absolutely confident in his ability!

It is impossible for him to change his style of play before the Wizards encounter a greater challenge!

To say that Barkley really knew Michael Jordan, he was right. In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Dalin, the Wizards would not have made any changes until the end of the regular season...

The reason is as Barkley said, why change if you can win?

"Darling, we need to be faster on the outside defense. The opponent has too many easy opportunities to take action!"

At 7 minutes and 14 seconds of the second quarter, Wizards Scott called a timeout.

It's not that the situation is so ugly.

Tonight, the Wizards suddenly took a large number of shots from outside the three-point line, completely catching the Nets off guard. Several adjustments by Scott, the Nets, had no effect.

Hmm... Mainly, he wants to control the Wizards' mid-range scoring.

Their scoring proportion in this area is too large. As long as they focus on this area, this game will definitely be won.

He is quite confident in the Nets' scoring ability.

But as a result, the Wizards have made 5 of 8 shots from beyond the three-point line so far. They have already scored 15 points from beyond the three-point line alone, and their firepower is much more fierce than them.

So far, the Nets are still 7 points behind the Wizards.

But Wizards Scott is not satisfied with the current lead of the Wizards. He believes that the Wizards can still have a greater advantage!

As long as the Nets' outside perimeter doesn't have much room to shoot.

Of course, the only one who can rely on this is Jiang Dalin, and everyone else basically has too much time to take care of themselves.

Jiang Dalin nodded.

This is the team's positioning for him this season.

But after Scott finished speaking, Jiang Dalin and Michael Jordan ran to the side to replenish electrolytes, and suddenly turned around and said: "Scott asked me to strengthen my defense on the outside..."

"Does this mean you're not a good defender, Michael?"

Michael Jordan was drinking Gatorade "tons and tons". Jiang Dalin's words successfully made him choke on the water and cough repeatedly.

This little bitch is so fucked up...

Are you putting aside reading comprehension?

Do I need you to translate?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Michael Jordan glanced at Scott. After Jiang Dalin finished speaking, he was a little doubtful whether Scott also meant this.

Scott:???

The game restarted, and the Nets' defense was obviously more extended than before.

This is where the Wizards have begun to take their three-pointers seriously.

No wonder, who was not confused after seeing the 5-for-8 shooting percentage in the first half?

Michael Jordan felt the change in the opponent's strategy and immediately made eye contact with Jiang Dalin.

Although Jiang Dalin, who was blocking the position under the basket, had an advantage in the blocking position with Kenyon Martin, he still decisively pulled to the outside.

Kenyon Martin hesitated and followed, but he was far away from Jiang Dalin. He was afraid that if this guy took the ball and used his force directly, he would definitely not be able to hold it.

There is this saying in the scouting report about Kenyon Martin: He is willing to fight, but he cannot deal with tall and strong post players.

How to describe it...

He wanted to be hard, but he couldn't.

Jiang Dalin was really accurate when he attacked him.

But what I didn't expect was that after Jiang Dalin got the ball, he saw that he was not coming up and immediately shot. When he shot the ball, the Nets' defense expanded to outside the three-point line, and it was belatedly.

"Whoosh!"

The ball hit the front edge of the basket and went in.

Scott on the sidelines nodded slightly, but was not completely relieved yet.

This is my first time taking action, I don’t know what will happen next!

The Nets didn't care about Jiang Dalin's goal this time.

He will indeed make two mid-range shots from time to time, but most of the time, the basket is his main shooting area.

Jason Kidd passed the ball to Richardson from a long distance. This pass was a bit amazing, almost spanning the entire half, from near the right three-point line to near the left three-point line.

The height of the bounce when hitting the ground is just right, which shows Jason Kidd's passing skills.

It's just that, beautiful as it is, this kind of long-distance pass definitely takes more time than ordinary passes.

Jiang Dalin reacted and immediately got in front of Richardson. Richardson hesitated and chose to take action himself.

Now that Jiang Dalin has made up for it, Haywood is still left under the basket, two on one, with a numerical advantage. Even if they don't score, the Nets have a high chance of making a second attack.

"Fan Bingbing" is very experienced in blocking Haywood and getting the ball to Kenyon Martin. His ability at the basket is much better than him.

But just when Kenyon Martin's hand was about to touch the ball, Michael Jordan came out from the side and protected the rebound.

A power forward allowed a guard to charge for the rebound, and Kenyon Martin felt a little embarrassed.

It's just that he didn't know something. After Kwame Brown was ruined by the original Wizards, Michael Jordan actually played the fourth position for a period of time. Of course, it was mainly to make up for his shortcomings in footwork.

However, this is the original. This time, he did not suffer from Artest's "rib challenge". His overall condition is much better than before. He can defend against ordinary "heavy defenders" and even gain the upper hand on the defensive end with his experience.

Of course, if you meet a talented guy who doesn't play with your skills, but directly plays with your physical fitness, then his defense will be a bit unbearable.

Fortunately, after being in the league for so long, Michael Jordan has gradually become accustomed to the decline in physical function and can no longer rely on physical fitness to play.

No, halfway through the rush, the ball was in Tyronn Lue's hands.

The Nets intercepted Jiang Dalin's shot to the basket in all directions.

At this time, they knew very well that it was Jiang Dalin's stage.

In order to avoid being suppressed in terms of momentum, this guy must not be allowed to complete the basket.

Jiang Dalin felt this and pulled to the other side to create space for Hamilton. The "Mask Man" was unmarked and without hesitation, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

The ball hit the net.

This is Hamilton's third three-pointer in this game.

There were 7 three-point shots in the game.

This statistic may not be a big deal in the "small ball era", but in 2002 in the "traditional center" era, it was a very exaggerated thing.

At the same time, Hamilton's efficiency is also exaggerated.

42.8% shooting rate...

You know, hand-check has not been canceled in this era.

When defending, hands can touch the opponent's body, which greatly reduces the chance for players to take completely open shots. This is why many people later said that so-and-so from the 90s or early 2000s was put behind

In the era, he was able to average 30 and 40 points per game.

Of course, this is a matter of opinion.

However, one thing is certain, that is, the shooting space of pitchers during this period is definitely not as good as later.

Under such circumstances, Hamilton performed so well outside the three-point line today, much better than he usually does. It can be seen how little the Nets' defense paid attention to the Wizards' three-point line...

…

The score difference reached double digits.

The Nets fans in the audience began to fall silent.

They discovered that the Wizards seemed to have gradually suppressed the Nets.

Kenny Smith once again praised the Wizards' play today: "This caught the Nets off guard, so that they haven't adjusted yet. Maybe tonight's game, the Nets will lose because of three-pointers."

Until the game..."

Gu Yi

This sounds a bit ridiculous. In this era, there are very few games that three-pointers can affect.

There is no other way, the Nets' Scott can only further expand the Wizards' defense beyond the three-point line.

Michael Jordan once again successfully connected with Jiang Dalin.

Jiang Dalin made a mid-range shot and hit it again!

Without interference from the outside, his adjustment after receiving the ball can be described as calm.

Kenyon Martin didn't dare to completely come up, giving him enough time to prepare for shooting...

"Big Bang is also in good shape tonight, scoring consecutive shots from the CIC!"

Kenny Smith attributed Jiang Dalin's two-for-two shooting to his good shooting touch tonight. After all, it's not like this has never happened before!

In that game against the Kings, the No. 1 team in the Western Conference, Jiang Dalin's performance in the first quarter is still vivid in his mind.

He thought that tonight was another night like this for Jiang Dalin...

He didn't think about "the Wizards changed their tactics and started shooting more three-pointers to open up space for Jiang Dalin's mid-range shot."

No wonder, the general impression of Jiang Dalin from outsiders now is that "he dunks fiercely, his technique is rough, and his shooting depends on God"...

If Jiang Dalin knew, he really wouldn't be angry. He wished that others would always think that he was just a dunker, so that he could shoot in the mid-range much more calmly!

Why not?

As for external evaluations, they are all false.

Jiang Dalin doesn't care...

It was at this time that Scott of the Nets gradually realized that the goddess of victory did not smile at him tonight.

Even if the Wizards successfully changed their formation, Jiang Dalin’s touch is still so hot!

Seeing that the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, Jason Kidd made a sudden pass fake while running, and then rushed into the net, successfully causing Haywood to foul.

Jason Kidd, two free throws!

In the silent scene, the cheers suddenly became louder at this moment.

Sure enough, you still have to watch Jason Kidd at the critical moment!

The Nets have changed because of his arrival, and the games he has affected by his own ability are no longer one or two so far.

"What~"

Before shooting, Jason Kidd blew a kiss to the audience opposite.

This is for his girlfriend Jumana...

The two of them are really in love.

The scene also gave Zhumana a close-up shot at this time.

The woman's face had a smile that satisfied her vanity, and her eyes were full of infinite tenderness.

In fact, this move of Jason Kidd has now become his signature move, and at the same time, this move is also closely linked to Jumana.

It can be said that reaching this level is the highest level of showing affection.

But, it really is true to the saying: Show affection and you will die quickly.

How sweet the kiss is now, how badly Jason Kidd was beaten after marriage!

Yes, you read that right, it was not Jason Kidd who committed domestic violence after marriage, but Jumana...

Kidd was often beaten until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen.

Jiang Dalin looked at Zhu Mana on the screen. It was hard to believe for a moment that this girl was so violent, but it was indeed a fact. Therefore, when he saw Jason Kidd blowing a kiss, he wanted to advise: Stop kissing, and use your mouth now.

If you do anything else during that time, your mouth will be scarred from now on.

Although Jason Kidd has poor offensive ability and poor shooting ability, his free throw shooting percentage is very good.

As high as 81.3%!

This allowed him to steadily hit two free throws.

but……

"It's too difficult. You can't expect Jason Kidd to score all the time. This is not a job he can do." Kenny Smith still believes that the Nets have not really gained momentum.

Barkley said: "Others have messed up their positions on the defensive end, which has affected their state on the offensive end..."

"This team is always missing a guy who can really stand up at critical moments!"

"Kenyon Martin may have performed very well in other games, but in front of the Bomber, he was really soft tonight, as soft as the toilet paper in my toilet!"

Although the two of them are famous for their gags, they are not bad at all in terms of professionalism.

Just after Barkley finished speaking, Jason Kidd made another breakthrough layup, but was slapped by Jiang Dalin and flew off the court.

He just received a "fixed block" in the first quarter, and now Jiang Dalin gave Jason Kidd a "volleyball block".

Jason Kidd was a little dizzy and did not dare to challenge the Wizards' inside line.

Jason Richardson tried to step up and save the team, but Michael Jordan also adapted to his scoring style and deliberately took a step back when he was holding the ball.

The future "Slam Dunk King"'s shooting ability with the ball is not very strong.

He is better at catching and shooting, as well as driving layups.

He really doesn't understand the skills of holding the ball.

Richardson tried all kinds of fake moves to trick Michael Jordan into getting closer. Michael Jordan acted like "younger or older," and he didn't hesitate at all. He just shot if he wanted to.

There was no other way, Richardson had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action.

"Bang!"

The ball bounced out of the frame.

There was a battle under the basket. Kenyon Martin averaged 1.5 offensive rebounds per game this season, but so far in this game, he has not grabbed an offensive rebound.

This time, his position was very lucky, right opposite where the ball bounced.

But as soon as he jumped up, a person rushed out from beside him, confronted him in the air, and pushed his hand away.

"Snapped!"

Then Kenyon Martin saw that person holding the ball in his hand with one hand, making a loud noise, and a pained expression on his face. Naturally, it was Jiang Dalin who came first and got the ball in his hand. In this game,

, Kenyon Martin no longer knows how many times he has taken away a rebound like this.

His excellent mobility and explosive power seemed of no use in front of Jiang Dalin.

Well……

Well, it's really more explosive than mobility, Jiang Dalin may be even better than him.

More importantly, Jiang Dalin's core strength is infinitely better than him.

And this is why Kenyon Martin has never been able to compete with those strong inside players.

Although he is the fourth position, his playing style is more like a third position with no ability to hold the ball at all...

Unable to defend on the defensive end and unable to score consecutively on the offensive end, the Nets' momentum was completely suppressed in the following period, and they never set off any counterattack momentum.

When the battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference finally entered the fourth quarter, the entire atmosphere became a little tepid. I didn’t know, but I thought it was the second-place finisher in the Eastern Conference versus the second-last finisher in the Eastern Conference...

The score difference had reached more than 20 points with 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Wizards won 110-89 at the Nets' home court with 21 points...

Michael Jordan had 24 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Hamilton had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Looking at their data, there was no obvious change, but if you watched this game, you will know very well how they played in this game.

Very big changes have taken place, the number of three-point shots has increased significantly!

This also caused a lot of discussion from the outside world the next day.

Some people are lamenting Michael Jordan.

"The 38-year-old chose to come back, and the 39-year-old is still making changes to make the team stronger and trying to improve his weak links. Maybe this is why he is the god of basketball..."

When Michael Jordan saw these reports, he smiled like a chrysanthemum.

Come on, little bitch, don’t you like reading newspapers? Come on, here, come and read this newspaper!

Last time Jiang Dalin deliberately read the report about his embarrassing incident on the plane. He didn't forget this incident and kept it in mind! Now that he has the chance, of course he must take revenge!

Jiang Dalin really took over the newspaper.

"There is no doubt that Richard Hamilton has improved this season. In fact, I think he is already qualified to win the Most Improved Player Award..."

"In the game between the Wizards and the Nets, he fully demonstrated the importance of his outside firepower, almost directly changing the Nets' defensive formation..."

"Old man, what are you asking me to read without you?"

Michael Jordan:……

"Are you blind? Apart from Richard, are there any other reports that you haven't seen?"

His words really made Jiang Dalin flip through the newspaper.

"oh I saw it……"

Michael Jordan smiled triumphantly.

"The number one pick in China is really great. It's hard to believe that he is only 20 years old. To be honest, at that moment, I really thought that he was born for the big scene..."

But his expression gradually stiffened as Jiang Dalin read out the new report.

"Get out of here!"

Michael Jordan cursed and took the newspaper.

Did I ask you to praise yourself?

This is so irritating...

Jiang Dalin curled his lips: "I have been praised much more than you!"

This... Michael Jordan really has to agree.

After this game, there were indeed more media praising Jiang Dalin than him.

22 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks, 70% shooting rate.

This is the data Jiang Dalin handed over in this game. There is no doubt that it is much better than usual.

This reminds me of the Wizards' home game against the Kings.

Once may be a coincidence, but twice is not necessarily a coincidence!

Many media believe that this game reflects Jiang Dalin's big heart in key battles!

ESPN directly called him "born with a big heart"!

Bill Walton called him "Mr. Big Scene"... It is worth mentioning that this title also became Jiang Dalin's new nickname.

In the NBA, many stars have more than two or three nicknames, but like Jiang Dalin, he has only been in the league for less than three months and already has so many nicknames!

Drexler: "This shows how many famous scenes this guy has played!"

…

And this is only part of the discussion about Jiang Dalin.

There are also many media and experts imagining what Jiang Dalin looked like when he participated in the All-Star "Slam Dunk Contest"...

In the game against the Nets, he took off from the free throw line, grabbed the ball in mid-air, and slammed it into the basket. It was really enough to make everyone admire him in the "Slam Dunk Contest"

The performance above creates reverie.

Barkley said bluntly: "It's time to start. It's time for Big Bang to participate in this year's slam dunk contest."

Vince Carter even said bluntly: "I once thought I would never participate in the All-Star Weekend because of anyone, but this guy is really incredible. I'm not saying that I will participate in the slam dunk contest. This has been the case since 2000.

I got the answer, what I mean is...anyone who is confident in his dunk will feel pressure because of Jiang Dalin..."

The "ufo" remarks directly brought the entire league's discussion of Jiang Dalin to its peak.

At this time, the league official also officially sent an invitation to Jiang Dalin for the "Slam Dunk Contest".

The interesting thing is that none of the other people who received the invitation responded to the league officials immediately. Their mentality at the moment was similar to McGrady at the time.

With such a strong rival, he is destined to be a foil, and he cannot be a perfect foil like Tracy McGrady. Whether he wants to participate or not is really something worth considering!
