NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Then, before Stoudemire could finish his 13-point play, it was the Knicks' turn to attack.

In the blink of an eye, Das was broken through by John Starks on the opposite side.

The Knicks' No. 9 shooting guard John Starks is a combo guard.

After point guard Derek Harper left the court, he was responsible for controlling the ball for the Knicks.

In addition to averaging about 14 points per game, John Starks can also provide about 4 assists, which is a very good piece of the championship puzzle.

This time, John Starks easily broke through Das and prepared to shoot himself, only to take a quick stop and jump shot just outside the restricted area.

Then, there is no more!

The moment John Starks shot, Hanamichi quickly rushed out of the penalty area, rushed in front of him in two steps, and then slapped John Starks' shot out of the court.

"Hey! Brother, didn't I say I'll take care of it?"

Dasi clapped his hands with Hanamichi in embarrassment and said:

"Hey, I was careless for a moment and didn't notice that someone had changed!"

……

Then, just as Dasi said, he didn't get into any more trouble.

Instead, through fierce pressing and driving the team's rhythm, he forcibly interfered with the Knicks' back line and increased the opponent's offensive time from 24 seconds to within 13 seconds!

Especially in the last quarter of the game, the Knicks' back line was completely led by him, the mistakes gradually increased, and the number of steals also increased!

The most important thing is that Ewing and Oakley's physical disadvantages have gradually become apparent!

In the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, Dasri made a breakthrough and shot 4 of 2 three-pointers, and also contributed 2 steals on the defensive end.

Hanamichi, on the other hand, established himself in the Knicks' restricted area through his nimble footwork and tough fadeaway jump shot.

Facing Oakley's double-team, he would use hook shots or pass the ball in advance from time to time, making the latter's double-team often ineffective.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Raptors were leading by a wide margin of 94:82.

Knicks head coach Nelson has confirmed what he had in mind.

It is hard to say whether you are disappointed or not with the performance of Ewing, the team's top player and superstar. After all, it's just a game!

But for him as a "mad scientist", the team's leader is already 33 years old, so can he do some big experiments!

After all, there are many people who can replace him!

For example, the [Shark] in the plan, but what seems to be an extra surprise is that the rookie in front of him also shows this potential!

However, Nelson Sr. does not intend to act so quickly. After all, the season has just begun, and it is still early for the player trading market to start!

Old Nelson was not in a hurry for his "experimental plan", but he was not slow at all to raise the white flag on the court.

This is no wonder. After all, it is just the beginning of the season and there is no need to fight to the death!

So he waved his hand and put the substitutes on the bench, surrendering and admitting defeat! But this also caused Ewing's dissatisfaction!

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he still had to obey the coach's orders. Ewing could only leave the game with regret and a bad mood for messing up the "Welcome Party".

As for the Raptors, as usual, they kept rookie David Stoudemire to lead the team, under the pretext of training new players!

As for Hanamichi, it wasn't because he couldn't hold on physically, but mainly because Ewing and Oakley's elbows were easy to dodge but hard to defend against.

The endless stream of small moves makes flower arrangement hard to guard against.

He probably had purple and bruises all over his chest and waist, so he asked to leave.

Otherwise, it’s such a good time to waste your time. It’s up to you whether or not you can clean up the garbage can!

"Beep!" The game ended with a score of 104:96. The Toronto Raptors defeated the New York Knicks, who were second in the Eastern Conference last season, at home.

Ewing left the court directly after the game, but Oakley, the so-called "tough guy", went to Hanamichi specifically.

"Hey! Red-haired boy, I like your performance in the third quarter. It really matches your hair color! Well done!"

"But you should be thankful that you didn't do that in front of me! I don't react like Ewing!"

After saying this, he raised his fist and said it deliberately.

Flower path is also welcome:

"Haha, that depends on how fast you react, brother!"

"If I treat you as a background, you won't be able to escape!"

"Hahahaha, I like your personality, kid! I'm rooting for you. Remember to put on some oil when you go back!"

After saying that, Oakley left the court with a smile.

"This old fellow!"

Hanamichi touched his chest and said with a grin.

(Oakley's playing style is tough and fierce, and he fights for every inch of land in the restricted area. Oakley's capital for executing this style of play is his strong physique, flying elbows and constant small movements. Like Barkley, he is known as the "bad guy" and often fights with others on the court. But in fact, Oakley mostly fights to protect his teammates)

In this game, the two core players of the Toronto Raptors continued their excellent performance in the previous game and both achieved double-doubles.

Das had comprehensive statistics of 25 points, 11 assists and 5 steals.

Hanamichi scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists.

After the game, without mentioning the reason why Hanamichi was absent from the press interview, Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri smiled and said to coach Landon Malone in the player tunnel:

"How is it? The inside and outside core of our team!"

Landon Malone responded excitedly:

“Although it’s still a little immature, based on its current performance, it deserves a five-star rating!”

"Especially Flower. Playing against Ewing in this game will accelerate his growth even faster!"

Coach Ma Long became more and more excited as he spoke:

"Hey! Man, did you see that half-turn dunk and tip-in? He knocked over Ewing!"

Masai Ujiri suppressed his excitement, his eyes revealing wisdom:

"Although I don't quite understand these things, the fans in Toronto have shown a high level of attention and interest in our newcomers! So I think it's not a wrong move to use them as dual cores!"

Landon Malone said that it was not only correct, but also a great move!

"But I just asked the team doctor, Flower's injury is just a minor collision injury, she will be fine after resting for a day or two!"

"Although the team doctor said so, this must attract our attention~ Landon! I mean that!"

"Although Hanamichi has always been in good health and the high-intensity training has not caused any signs of serious illness, we still have to be on guard against this!"

As he spoke, Masai Ujiri waved his hand and indicated:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I have any idea of ​​trading Flower! I'm not as short-sighted as the Clippers coach!"

"But we have to prepare a tough guy on the court. He can't be a fighter, but at least he can protect the core of the team and act as a shield."

"We can't always let our little inside guys carry the load! You have to know that in addition to the [Gorilla], there is also a [Shark] roaming around freely in the East!"

Landon Malone heard this and said silently:

"I actually overlooked this point! After all, Flower's superb physical fitness and seamless coordination have far exceeded what a rookie like him should have!"

Masai Ujiri continued:

"It's good that you realize this. I just happen to have a good candidate here!"

"Maybe there will be a good opportunity soon! I'm just letting you know in advance!"

……

Landon Malone smiled and nodded without asking any further questions.

He knows that the team manager Masai Ujiri's ideas may be unconventional, but as long as they do not affect the team's basic foundation - Das and Hanamichi, he, as the head coach, can support the rest!
