NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

But what was strange was the rest of the first quarter.

There was no trouble on either side and it ended peacefully.

This really made Huadao feel lonely!

The Bulls relied on the scoring ability of Joe and the sudden attack of his important substitute, the league's best sixth man of the year, Toni Kukoc, and scored 23 points in the first quarter.

The Raptors, on the other hand, relied mainly on Hanamichi's scoring and containment abilities in the paint to help the team lead the Bulls by 29 points.

Among them, Hanamichi scored 15 points in the first quarter.

But the most noteworthy thing is that Rodman was suppressed by Hanamichi and "only" grabbed 4 rebounds in the first quarter!

Surprisingly, however, no one on the Bulls mentioned rebounding during the break after the first quarter.

No one dared to tease [Hua Da Chong].

Only Phil Jackson emphasized at the end:

Pay attention to the team's overall coordination and defense ~ limit the opponent's scoring!

Then, no more...

It seemed like no one noticed the rebounding problem at all, let alone blamed Rodman!

Halfway through the second quarter, the Bulls replaced their main players.

Then Toni Kukoc and Rodman, one on offense and one on defense, led the bench lineup to score points on the court.

Seeing this, Raptors coach Malone also replaced Das, leaving Hanamichi to lead the team alone!

After all, as the rhythm regulator of the entire game, Das had to deal with the Bulls' powerful outside group, so naturally he had to pay special attention to the distribution of physical strength.

Coach Landon Malone and his teammates are no longer surprised by Hanamichi's physical freakiness!

The situation on the court suddenly changed at this moment.

On the Raptors side, Hanamichi played as aggressively and actively as ever.

But he also slightly controlled the frequency of strong attacks, passed the ball at the right time, and gave his teammates more opportunities to shoot.

After all, there is a "wrestling match" to be held later!

The Raptors' substitute players also performed very well, and they were able to shoot and score whenever they got an open opportunity.

Like point guard Doug Christie who replaced Das, he made 3 of 3 open three-pointers and added 3 assists for Hanamichi!

As for the missed shots, Hanamichi wasn't intentionally trying to boost his rebounding stats.

But halfway through the second quarter, Hanamichi had already grabbed 10 rebounds.

Rodman felt very annoyed because the rookie in front of him was not only good at offense.

He was even as good as him in rebounding, which he was so proud of.

Especially considering that his height, wingspan and jumping ability are all better than mine.

This resulted in Rodman being suppressed in rebounds!

You know, rebounding is the foundation of his life and he is very proud of it!

(Rodman once refused to participate in the Bulls' shooting training on the grounds that he wanted to observe the pattern of rebounds after his teammates shot! Unexpectedly, Joe agreed)

Rodman once grabbed 34 rebounds in a single game.

Therefore, grabbing 20+ rebounds in an ordinary game is not a common occurrence for Rodman, but it is not uncommon at least!

（1992年场均18.7；1993年场均18.3；1994年场均17.3；1995年场均16.8）

The second quarter of the game was almost over, and he had only managed to grab 6 rebounds!

"Let's settle both new and old grudges together!"

The anger had spread from Rodman's eyebrows to his hair!

On the court, Rodman's red hair, painted with bright red hair cream, became even more eye-catching after being soaked by sweat.

There was a crisp sound when the two red heads collided: "Bang!

However, at this moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Rodman, who was originally focused on defense, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basketball.

His goal was clear - to grab that crucial rebound.

At the same time, Hanamichi was concentrating on grabbing the rebound.

They were both so absorbed in the game that they were completely unaware of the other's movements.

Yes, that's right! Hanamichi did run towards the ball, but Rodman watched Hanamichi go before running behind him.

Just as Hanamichi was about to jump, Rodman suddenly leaped up and tried to grab the rebound.

Hanamichi met Rodman in the air, and their heads collided violently.

A loud "bang" accompanied by a crisp collision sound made the audience gasp.

Even the spectators felt pain from the collision, but surprisingly, the two guys acted as if nothing had happened!

They seemed completely unaffected and were even able to continue playing.

"Damn! You're so stubborn~"

The muscular man in Salt Lake City, Karl Malone, slapped his thigh and yelled:

"Oh my goodness, you are all waiting here!"

"Two iron-headed kids!"

John Stockton, who was sitting nearby, grinned and roared:

"Take your dirty hands away! I've told you so many times, if you want to take a photo, take your own legs!"

Karl Malone took his right hand away without caring, put his arm around John Stockton's shoulder and said:

"Hey! Sorry, I'm used to it!"

"But now it's finally time for the most exciting moment!"

"I knew that [Flower Bug] wouldn't be so honest!"

"But the hardness of this Asian guy's head is pretty good, but I don't know about other aspects!"

"I wish I could lend him my [Iron Elbow]!"

John Stockton looked at the big slap mark on his thigh, and he wanted to cry but had no tears:

"Is this why you asked me to come over to watch the live broadcast of [good stuff]?"

……

On the court, Hanamichi and Rodman continued the game tacitly, without any dispute over the rebound just now.

The rebound was finally caught by Hanamichi, who reluctantly threw it to Tracy Murray.

"Damn, luckily I turned the angle, otherwise my head would have been split open!"

"No~ I can't rub it!"

Hua Dao cursed in his heart, but looked like nothing had happened.

Little did he know that Rodman on the other side was also complaining:

"This kid's forehead is really hard. Has he ever hit the backboard or practiced heading like me?"
