NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

At this time, Karl Malone already regarded Ikebana as a fellow talented person!

And he was very happy that Hanamichi had a pair of [Iron Elbows].

He felt that Hanamichi's method of elbowing his opponent was the most direct, reasonable and effective way to resolve Rodman's persistent defense, as long as he did it covertly.

And this method can give him more shooting space and deterrence.

In addition, Hanamichi, like him, has a reliable mid-range shooting ability.

Thinking of this, Karl Malone continued to mutter:

"Hey! Man, we have to think of a way to make a suggestion and lure that red-haired rookie to our Jazz team."

"If the three of us are of one mind, the loess will turn into gold; if we have four iron elbows, even the gods will find it difficult to escape!"

"We will definitely win the championship ring this year!"

After saying that, he slapped his thigh...

John Stockton hissed for a long time.

But he didn't have time to get angry with the old friend next to him, but started thinking about the suggestion made by the old friend.

After all, this is not something that can be concluded on impulse. One has to consider the feasibility of the matter and the adaptability of the team lineup.

The final conclusion is that the team's inside players such as Greg Ostertag and Greg Foster are not as good as Hanamichi!

At worst, Karl Malone and Hanamichi can form a twin tower inside!

Plus my own outside connections...

"Man, even if that's the case! We have to wait until after December to have a chance of getting him!"

"Besides, you know, the decision is up to the boss!"

"Besides, the Raptors may not give it to you!"

"I know. I just want you to tell the boss in advance!"

(The head coach of the Jazz at that time was the legendary coach Jerry Sloan)

Back on the court, the fourth quarter of the game began.

At this time, Pierce, who had worked hard in the second and third quarters, came off the court. He scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

This data is not good for him, but considering that he can achieve this data in three quarters, it can be said that he has performed well!

At least I won’t be criticized by the coach.

Replacing him is Tony Kukoc, the substitute of Boss Joe and the best sixth man!

The backcourt duo formed by him and Boss Joe made Big S, who worked hard in the third quarter, complain repeatedly.

During the time when Hanamichi was off the court, Das took a total of 21 shots and made 11 of them.

尤其是三分球8投6中，罚球4中2，以65.9%的真实命中率帮助球队死死咬住比分。

He can be said to be the best contributor to the team's persistence until now!

Hua Dao also saw that Da Si was having a hard time standing on his own, so he insisted on going on stage.

After coming on the court, without Rodman's persistence, it was Bill Wennington who defended the flower path.

The white center of the Bulls is 213cm tall and weighs 111kg.

In terms of body shape, it can be said that he is almost the same as Hanamichi, but he has a fatal weakness and defect compared to Hanamichi.

The weakness is that this player, who was born in Montreal, Canada in 1962, is already 33 years old this year!

As an inside center, his career is not at its twilight years at this age, but it is gradually going downhill.

（中锋一般23-25岁步入巅峰，26-30岁正值巅峰期，31-32岁巅峰暮年）

However, facing the 18-year-old, vigorous Hanamichi, the center still has a fatal flaw:

That's the clumsy footsteps and lateral speed!

So in the last quarter, after Hanamichi came on the court, the Raptors completely exploded!

After entering the court, I felt the referee's close attention.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Hua Dao did not show any aggressive and deliberate attacking moves when facing Bill Wennington's defense.

After receiving the ball, Hanamichi attacked directly facing the basket and shot from mid-range.

After gradually showing off his mid-range deterrence with [Iron Blood Jump Shot].

Hua Dao clearly felt that Bill Wennington's defense was closer to him.

So in the next attack, he took advantage of his opponent's guard against his shot.

He used his nimble footwork to break through the latter, directly entering the restricted area and attacking the basket.

After this game, Hanamichi has become more and more experienced in his offensive methods and changes in offensive rhythm!

This is demonstrated vividly in Bill Wennington.

It wasn't just Hanamichi who exploded in the fourth quarter for both teams. The "old rogue" from the Bulls only scored 17 points in the first three quarters.

For the starting core of an ordinary team, scoring 17 points in three quarters and 20+ points in four quarters are already good statistics.

But at the end of the 20th century, this was far from enough for the "Old Rogue", who was the soul of the Bulls and dominated the last decade!

It was the Bulls' turn to attack. At the signal of "Old Rogue", the Bulls quickly kicked the ball and passed the ball, with the point guard advancing with the ball at a very fast speed.

Huadao kept up with the pace and took the lead in standing at a corner of the penalty area.

But [Old Rogue] took over the ball directly after crossing half court and rushed in from the other side with the ball.

Facing Doug Christie's defense, he suddenly stopped.

Just when everyone thought that the old rogue would make a quick stop and jump shot,

At this moment, the "Old Rogue" started again after a brief stop, just like "Tom chopping the tree". His speed was as fast as the wind, and he broke through Doug Christie, who was defending against shots but not against breakthroughs, and rushed into the penalty area in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Hanamichi rushed forward to defend, but the [Old Rogue] showed no sign of panic.

Facing Hanamichi's backup defense, [Old Rogue] held the basketball high with one hand, and leaped up towards Hanamichi and the basket behind him.

Then, when Hanamichi tried to block the shot, [Old Rogue] reacted quickly, picked up the basketball with one hand, and cleverly avoided Hanamichi's big hand block.

Then, he flew under the basket, caught the ball with one hand, and completed a backhand pull-up dunk at an astonishing speed, successfully scoring the ball into the basket!

However, in this amazing long-duration aerial performance, Hanamichi was the first to land.

(Jordan's ability to stay in the air is really strong! When he was teaching Kobe the mid-range jump shot technique, he pretended to be stupid and said: jump up in the face of someone's defense, and then wait for the other person to fall in mid-air before shooting. Although this may be suspected of being stupid, it also fully demonstrates that his jumping and air-staying ability is really strong!)

Hanamichi and the entire audience watched the latter complete this spectacular move!

"Damn it! I got tricked!"

After scoring the goal, the [Old Rogue] also smiled smugly.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans and spectators, he made his iconic "hand-spreading gesture" facing Hanamichi!

"Rookie, you're still a long way from here!"

After pretending to be smart, Old Bird Jordan turned around and ran.

Commentator Bill Walton also roared excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the soul of the Bulls - the God who has returned to the court!"

"In the Bulls' home court, every goal Jordan scores receives fierce screams from all the fans in the audience!"

"I think the Raptors are in trouble!"

"From this moment on, Jordan completely took over the game!"

The score in the first three quarters was 83:79, with the Bulls leading by 4 points.

Since Hanamichi came on the court in the fourth quarter, the score between the two teams was 87:86.

But none of that mattered, in everyone's eyes, as long as that one guy took over the game.

So don't say it's basically a tie, even if there are some points behind.

The Bulls can catch up given enough time, not to mention there are still 10 minutes left before the end of the game!

"I think the core of the Raptors is still too young."

"Facing Jordan, even Damon Stoudemire and Flower have performed well so far."

"But what I want to say is that they are in big trouble!"

Another well-known commentator, former 76ers guard Matt Gokas, also spoke up:

"Among this class of rookies, Stoudemire and Flower can be considered the only two rookies who have not hit the rookie wall!"

"I have to praise them, but I think if I run into that person, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss!"
