NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

At the end of the game, Hanamichi played for 42.9 minutes.

Except for being substituted for a rest in the first half, he barely played the entire game.

Of course, he didn't play the full game in the true sense. After all, he also learned on his own how to [put his hands on his hips] and [direct traffic] on the court for a while.

The final score was 96:83, and the Raptors defeated the Timberwolves who came from afar with a 13-point advantage at home.

整场比赛花道出手了19次，砍下了25分、15个篮板、4个助攻、4个盖帽、1个抢断；

大斯同样出场时间在40分钟以上，砍下了22分、3个篮板、10个助攻、4个抢断的两双成绩。

As for KG, he also scored comprehensive statistics of 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

Judging from the data, well~ the combat effectiveness of these three people is very strong!

Especially Hanamichi and Das, who can be said to have seamlessly transitioned from the NCAA to the NBA.

It is worthy of the expectations of Raptors head coach Landon Malone and the Raptors management before the game.

Although these two rookies showed some flaws in the game.

For example, Das’ inherent weakness on the defensive end and Hanamichi’s slacking behavior during the game.

But the merits outweigh the flaws, at least these two are worthy of the corresponding draft picks.

Although one game cannot determine the outcome, the report that General Manager Masai Ujiri gave to owner Timothy Lewek was a good one!

"What happens next is of course up to the head coach. It has nothing to do with me, the general manager!"

General Manager Masai Ujiri, who was watching the game in person on the sidelines, said righteously:

"I've chosen two '20+10' fighters for you. If you can't lead them, then that's your problem!"

Coach Landon Malone was left standing aside, watching Hanamichi and Das celebrating enthusiastically on the court, not knowing whether to cry or laugh!

After the game, head coach Landon Malone brought two rookies, the core of the team ~ Hanamichi and Das to attend the post-game press conference.

There were quite a lot of people coming to the press conference.

But if you look closely, most of them are local media.

Media reporters from other regions basically went to Houston to prepare for interviews with the defending champion and [God].

After getting permission, a local Toronto media reporter spoke first, and his question was very sharp:

"Coach Malone, congratulations to the Raptors for their first win of the season. We noticed that the Raptors played very well in this game, and the two rookies performed very well. Does this mean that the Raptors will use these two rookies as the core of the team?"

Landon Malone was obviously well prepared, and responded by pushing Tai Chi slowly:

"This game was a great effort by all members of our Raptors team to beat the Timberwolves, and that's certainly a credit to all the players."

"As for Flower and Damon, they are making their first appearance in an NBA regular season today, so of course they need to be in a good spirit."

“Although the number of shots is slightly higher, it is still within a reasonable range.”

"After all, every team that trains rookies will not let high-ranking players sit on the bench!"

"As for the question of building the core of the team, haha! That depends on their performance in the future!"

"In a season that lasts more than 80 games, one game doesn't mean much."

Anyway, Landon Malone would never admit the sensitive issue of "building the core of the team".

Anyway, I have my reasons and I can explain them, but I just won’t admit it!

Once Landon Malone admits it, other teams will start researching and targeting Hanamichi and Das in advance.

Develop some targeted strategies and countermeasures, such as increasing strength, finding weaknesses, and attacking defects.

This situation is undoubtedly a wake-up call for rookie players, and they usually cannot overcome it in a short period of time!

This is what we commonly call the "Rookie Wall"!

Afterwards, Coach Ma Long also explained to Huadao and Daste why the issue of their core members was not announced to the public.

Hua Dao and Da Si just laughed it off after hearing this. Hua Dao even felt that Coach Ma Long was overly pessimistic.

You have to know that the player in front of you is a rookie who is at his peak. Even Boss Joe himself came out to speak well of Stoudemire.

And a basketball player with an overall rating of 90 on my system, who has the strength of an NBA star.

Hua Dao would like to ask coach Landon Malone, have you ever seen a star player encounter the [Rookie Wall]?

Das also assisted 13, saying, "Why do we need to hit the [Rookie Wall]? Can't we just poke it and it will break?"

The reactions of Hua Dao and Da Si actually eased the worries of coach Ma Long.

That's right! Landon Malone thinks these two rookies are a little immature!

It's fine if you say you guys are just taking advantage of this to act smart, after all, this has been a tradition in the NBA!

If you don't believe me, ask [Big Bird] ~ 13th King ~ Larry Bird!

But I didn’t ask you to act cool like that, but I didn’t ask you to act so cool!

No matter whether a 50-year-old man like me can bear it or not! That’s all for later.

At the moment, although Coach Ma Long’s answer cannot satisfy the reporters, it can be considered a positive answer.

Then other reporters also asked questions, some asked Coach Ma Long, some asked Das, and some also asked about Hanazawa.

It is worth noting that a reporter from Minnesota asked Coach Malone maliciously:

"In this game, both of your rookies played for more than 40 minutes each. Does this mean that you have over-trained the rookies?"

Landon Malone is an old hand, so this question certainly doesn't bother him. He just smiled and said:

"That's a good question. Not only me, but also the Timberwolves coach has put more effort into using and training KG in this game. I think you can ask the person involved how he feels!"

Before Dasi could speak, Hua Dao took the microphone and said:

"In fact, this is my personal willful request. It can also be regarded as a tacit competition between our No. 5, 6, and 7 rookies!"

"That is to see who among us has the least stamina among the rookies of the 95th class..."

After saying that, Hanamichi looked at Dasi with the funny expression in the emoticon package of later generations.

Das smiled and looked at the position of KG who was absent from the press conference!

There is no doubt that the winner has been decided.

Das felt that at least after a fierce game, he and Hanamichi were still sitting here, but KG did not come!

Hey, that's enough to explain some problems!

Sure enough, the next day’s newspaper carried a big headline about Hanamichi: “95th Class Rookies Compete.”

Then a series of articles like [The wolf cub is shorter], [On the least durable man in the class of 95], [Surprise! The rookie with the worst physical fitness in the class of 95 is actually him] became popular in various tabloids!

ESPN even hosted a special talk show and invited Bill Walton to analyze it in detail. It is said that the ratings were pretty good!

This group of rookies from the Class of 95 started competing from the first game of the regular season!

No. 17 pick Joe Smith scored 8 points and grabbed eight rebounds in his first game;

No. 15 pick Antonio McDyess scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and blocks in his first game.

In addition, KG, Das and Hanamichi also had outstanding performances, playing for more than 40 minutes.

These five people can be said to be far ahead on the rookie list.

Hua Dao looked around and unexpectedly, the biggest enemy was in his own team!

I won't say any more, Dasi. I'll take you to eat some dumplings, have some fun... ahem... play in Chinatown a few times, and then just give me the [Best Rookie] award!

Dasi took cup after cup of alcoholic beverages and ate them with the steaming dumplings, saying vaguely:

Brother! Can this thing also be used?

Ask KG if he agrees or not, I’m afraid you can’t handle it by yourself!

Hua Dao picked up a glass of juice and clinked it with Da Si, saying:

"Believe me, I can do it! It's just hard work!"

"Besides, with your help, can't the two of us win the Best Rookie award?"

Dasi was silent, and said vaguely:

"Thank you for not giving up, sir. I am willing to help you in every way possible!"

"Brother! Don't worry, the two of us are a team like a dragon and a phoenix, invincible in the world!"

"Can I have more of this dumpling soup? It's delicious."

Hua Dao thought sadly:

"Isn't it delicious? It's an alcoholic beverage!"

An hour later, Hua Dao looked at Da Si who was completely drunk, and helped him back to his villa!

"It's done!"

If it weren’t for the drinking age in Canada being 19, Ikebana wouldn’t have reached that age yet!

Today's meal is not going to be in Chinatown!

Gaodihuadao has to go to the local bar and entertainment venue to treat Dasi to a good time!

But the result was pretty good. While the two brothers were strengthening their relationship, they also decided who would be the best rookie of the season!

What? You guys have already decided who will be the best rookie. Why?

Hua Dao said that even the original best rookie of the season himself admitted that he gave it to me, but this still doesn’t mean that the title is certain!

Something's up with the rest of you players, right, Damon!

Damon Stoudemire: “zZz...(|3?[▓▓]”
