Karl Malone now regarded Hanamichi as a gifted fellow!

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

He felt that Hanamichi's elbow strikes were the most direct, reasonable and effective way to resolve Rodman's persistent defense as long as they were done in a concealed manner.

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

In addition, Hanamichi, like him, had a reliable mid-range shot.

Thinking of this, Karl Malone continued to mutter:

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

"In this way, if the three of us are of one mind, the loess will turn into gold; with four iron elbows, even gods will have trouble leaving!"

"We must be the ones to win the championship ring this year!"

After saying that, he slapped his thigh...

John Stockton grinned and hissed for a long time.

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

After all, this is not something that can be concluded on impulse. The feasibility of this matter and the adaptability of the team lineup must be considered.

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 will form a twin tower inside!

In addition to his own threading on the outside...

"Man, even if it is so! We have to wait until after December to have the possibility of getting him!"

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

"Besides, the Raptors may not give it!"

"I know, this is just to let you tell the boss in advance!"

(At this time, the head coach of the Jazz is the legendary coach Jerry Sloan)

Back to 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 get this data in three quarters, it can be regarded as a good performance!

At least he will not be criticized by the coach.

He was replaced by Tony Kukoc, the best sixth man and the substitute of Joe!

The backcourt double gun combination formed by him and Joe made Das, who worked hard in the third quarter, complain.

During the time when Hanamichi left the court, Das took a total of 21 shots and hit 11 goals.

In particular, he made 6 of 8 three-pointers and 2 of 4 free throws, helping the team to hold on to the score with a true hit rate of 65.9%.

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

Hanamichi also saw that Das was unable to support himself, so he insisted on asking to play.

After playing, without Rodman's persistence, the person defending Hanamichi was Bill Wennington.

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

In terms of physique, it can be said that he is almost the same as Hanamichi, but he has a fatal weakness and flaw when facing 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, this age is not considered to be in the decline, but it is gradually going downhill.

(Centers generally enter their peak at the age of 23-25, 26-30 years old is the peak period, and 31-32 years old is the peak of the twilight years)

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

That is clumsy footsteps and lateral speed!

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

Feeling the close attention of the referee's eyes after coming on the court.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Hanamichi did not show a very aggressive and deliberate attack on the basket when facing Bill Wennington's defense.

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

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

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

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

He broke through the latter with flexible footwork and attacked the basket after directly entering the penalty area.

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

This is fully demonstrated by Bill Wennington.

It was not just Hanamichi who exploded in the fourth quarter of the two teams. The [Old Rogue] of the Bulls only scored 17 points in the first three quarters.

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

ButIt was at the end of the 20th century. For the [Old Rogue], who was the soul of the Bulls and dominated the last decade, this was far from enough!

It was the Bulls' turn to attack. At the signal of [Old Rogue], the Bulls quickly sent and passed the ball, and the point guard advanced with the ball very quickly.

Hanamichi kept up with the rhythm and took the lead to stand at a corner of the penalty area.

But [Old Rogue] took the ball directly after passing 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 [Old Rogue] would stop and jump shot,

At this moment, [Old Rogue] started again after a short stop, just like [Tom chopping a tree]. His speed was as fast as the wind, and he broke through Doug Christie, who was defending shots but not breakthroughs, and broke into the penalty area.

Seeing this, Hanamichi hurried forward to make up for the defense, but [Old Rogue] did not panic at all.

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

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

Then, he flew under the basket, collected the ball directly with one hand, and completed a reverse pull-up folding dunk at an amazing speed, successfully hitting the ball into the basket!

However, in this amazing long-lasting air performance, Hanamichi was the first to land.

(Jordan's air-staying ability is really strong! When he was teaching Kobe mid-range jump shot skills, he pretended to be a fool and said: jump up in the face of other people's defense, and then wait for others to fall in mid-air before shooting. Although this is a bit of a fool, it also fully demonstrates that his jumping and air-staying ability is really strong!)

Hanamichi and the audience watched the latter complete this wonderful moment together!

"Damn it! I got fooled!"

After scoring the goal, the [old rogue] also smiled proudly.

Amid the boiling cheers of the fans and spectators, he made the iconic "hand-spreading gesture" to Hanamichi!

"Rookie, you are still far from it!"

After pretending to be 13, the old bird Jordan turned and ran.

Commentator Bill Walton also roared excitedly:

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the soul of the Bulls~the [God] who returns to the court again!"

"In the home court of the Bulls, every goal Jordan scores can get the fierce screams of all the fans!"

"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, and the Bulls led by 4 points.

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

But all this is not important. In everyone's eyes, as long as that person takes over the game.

Then let alone a tie, even if they are behind by a few points.

The Bulls can catch up in enough time, not to mention that 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 famous commentator, former 76ers guard Matt Gokas, also said:

"As the rookies of this year, Stoudemire and Flower can be regarded as the only two rookies who have not hit the rookie wall!"

"I have to praise them, but I think if they hit that one, they will suffer a big loss!"
