NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

With the special emphasis of Comrade Zhang Heli, flower arrangement has become a veteran figure in improving the status of flower growers and even East Asia in the international basketball arena, and has even become a figure that can influence the international community in some aspects.

For example, based on him as the prototype and with the Sakuragi Army and others providing script ideas, the manga "Slam Dunk" drawn by a well-known cartoonist from the Sakura Country has become a big hit in East Asia.

For example, the 13-year-old children of the staff of the embassy of Zhuoyue Yuyang Country in Ibo Watch Country, "Park Yin" and "Jung Shun", frequently wrote to Huadao, asking him whether he won the national competition and the secret of growing taller quickly.

He also suggested that he would like to meet Hanamichi if there was a chance, but Hanamichi just laughed it off, thinking that it was just childish talk after all.

However, in view of the little guy's passionate heart and unyielding letters, Hanamichi arranged for Takamiya to send a copy of the "Slam Dunk" script to them privately, and personally replied to the two children, the secret to growing taller:

That is "read more books, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more"!

Hua Dao didn't know that this slightly joking remark shaped the "outlook on life" of the next generation of leaders of the Zhuo Yue Yu Yang Kingdom.

"Park Yin" first watched the NBA under the guidance of his father. At that time, the most powerful team was the Bulls' three consecutive championship dynasty.

It can be said that nine out of ten kids at that time were fans of Michael Jordan!

The remaining one doesn't watch NBA.

Just when "Park Yin" thought that the "old rogue" had retired and the NBA was coming to an end, he was attracted by the news that his neighbor, a basketball player named Hanamichi from the Chinese nationality, was participating in the draft.

In the eyes of "Park Yin", this good cousin and idol from the neighbor's house, like him, also had the experience of "studying anonymously" outside when he was young!

(From 1996 to 2001, Jong-eun and her sister Yoo-jeong used the aliases "Park Eun" and "Jung Soon" respectively, and pretended to be the children of the staff of the [Zhuoyue Fish Sheep Country] embassy in [Ibo Watch Country], and studied in an international school in Bern [Ibo Watch Country], learning English, German and French.)

While studying in Switzerland, Jong-eun, also known as "Park Eun", was so obsessed with basketball that he would even sleep with a basketball in his arms at night.

The same experience and the same skin color made "Park Yin" notice this flower grower who participated in the NBA draft.

After the publication of "Slam Dunk", "Park Eun" completely became a fan of the real Sakuragi Hanamichi through the comics, and thought that his passion for basketball was no less than his own, so he began to contact him through frequent letters.

Due to my identity, I cannot go to the United States in person, so I can only express this friendship in letters.

So, Hanamichi has such a passionate "pen pal" who regards him as an idol!

After receiving a reply from Hanamichi, the "successor of communism" who had the same experience and the same ideals as him, "Park Yin" was very excited.

The sense of importance that came from being responded to by her idol made "Park Eun" a complete fan of flower arrangement.

What 72-win Bulls? Aren’t my cousin’s Raptors team also very brave? 71 wins is nothing bad!

Park Eun, who originally showed signs of following his father's lead in becoming a fan of the Chicago Bulls, immediately became a fan of the Raptors, a team that has a saying "You can't cross the river without the Raptors."

To be more precise, I have become a fan of my good neighbor ~ Hanazawa!

At that time, the serialization of "Slam Dunk" was relatively slow in the mainland, and because of national conditions and international social issues, the "Slam Dunk" comics were released relatively late in [Zhuo Yue Yu Yang Country].

"Park Yin" even used his own connections to get the latest issue of the comics from Taiwan Province and sent it to [Ebo Watch Country] by international airmail.

Just like that, "Park Yin" Youxian was not satisfied with what he saw, and wrote letter after letter to Hanamichi. At the end of each letter, he would discuss the plot and carefully ask whether this was Hanamichi's personal experience.

Just like a little fanboy, I completely fell in love with this cousin next door while being pen pals with Hanamichi!

And after Hanamichi sent me the script, I was so happy that I couldn't contain myself.

At this time, the 13-year-old "Park Yin" had already made a decision in his heart that one day he must have a deep visit to flower arrangement!

It was not until 2013, when Hua Dao was invited to visit Zhuo Yue Yu Yang Kingdom for the first time, that he learned that the leader who had repeatedly invited him to the Zhuo Yue Yu Yang Kingdom was once known by the pseudonym "Park Yin".

That is the little brother who has been writing letters to him for decades since the 1990s!

This world's most mysterious "post-80s" leader is actually also a genuine NBA fan.

Privately, he would also argue with his father over different idols and over the historical status of players!

In the future, he even invited Huadao to visit Zhuoyue 6 times, to play basketball games together, to celebrate birthdays together, and to sing KTV together. The photos that were circulated were jokingly called by Huadao fans:

"As happy as a 200-pound fat man!"

However, the most noteworthy thing is what Park Eun, who will become the leader of the country in the future, said to Hanamichi, which can be regarded as the highest level of "star-chasing" behavior in the modern world:

"As a friend, you can visit Zhuoyue at any time!"

………………

Back to the present, 1997 is destined to be a year in which flower arrangement will reap honors.

The NBA just announced that Hanamichi was the most improved player of the season.

Yes, Hanamichi feels that he is also one of the most improved players this season and even in NBA history.

In just over a year, his rating has gone from 96 points (star player) to the current 119 points (superstar player).

This is unprecedented!

Many fans and media were puzzled by Hanamichi's award, until the official comparison of Hanamichi's data from the two seasons, only then did they realize that he had indeed made great progress.

从上赛季常规赛的场均22.5分+14.9篮板+4助攻+2.5盖帽1抢断，变成了本赛季常规赛的32.5分14篮板4.4助攻0.7抢断1.75盖帽。

Just like improving from 80 points to 90 points in an exam, the difficulty is definitely greater than improving from 40 points to 60 points.

Hanamichi's statistics last season were standard data that a team's star player could produce.

And the data this season is what a standard league superstar can produce!

Most Improved Player, well deserved.

Fortunately, this award is a minor one, and not many players will focus on it.

The real highlight is the regular season MVP and the best first-team player, which is what the media is paying close attention to!

Then, both expectedly and unexpectedly, Hanamichi, who came from a flower-growing family, won the NBA regular season's Most Valuable Player award in the 1996-97 season.

NBA官方把花道常规赛的场均数据32.5分14篮板4.4助攻0.7抢断1.75盖帽列了出来。

The data of the scoring weeks in December with an average score of more than 12 points per game is also listed.

Finally, let’s take a look at the stats from the regular season game against the Jazz in February:

41分20篮板10助攻5盖帽2抢断，做了一个圆满的收尾。

And he commented very pertinently:

"He was named Player of the Month twice in the regular season, top five in weekly scoring, set a record with 40+20+10+5 stats, and won the All-Star vote. Although Flower did not score 50 points in a single season, he scored 11+ points 40 times in total. He deserves to be the scoring champion this season, and he also deserves to be named the regular season MVP!"
