NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The "Old Rogue" who was attacked by a small number of reporters and media happened to be playing against the Charlotte Hornets away that night.

全场比赛【老流氓】出手27次命中13球，轰下了35分8篮板1助攻1抢断1盖帽这个对他来说“中规中矩”的数据。

When facing the interview from the reporters after the game, [Old Rogue] responded with great disdain.

Reporter: "What do you think of the Raptors' Flower's 40+ double-double?"

Reporter: "What do you think about some media comparing Flower to you?"

Reporter: "Excuse me, what do you think..."

The old rogue waved his hand:

"How can I see it? I don't even need to see it!"

"In the Bulls, I can score 40+ points in every game. The difference is that I only need to score 30+ points to lead the team to victory, while he needs to score 40+!"

"In fact, just like in tonight's game, I only need to play for 35 minutes and then clock out after three quarters, but the sophomore red-haired kid needs to fight until the last five minutes!"

"This is the gap between the two of us and the gap between the two teams! I don't need to pay attention to him and his team at all. These five games are just five ordinary nights in 5 nights, and my goal from beginning to end is only one - that is the championship!"

Michael's unusually pretentious and domineering response was so impressive that even the King of 13, Larry Bird, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up after watching the live broadcast!

In comparison, it seems that Hanamichi and the Raptors' record and data do lack some persuasiveness!

But David Stern is the kind of person who knows how to stir up trouble and how to deal with it. When he saw that his favorite "Key to Oriental Fortune" was actually showing a tendency to lose popularity, he used the resources of the league and personally paved the way for it. After all, only with gimmicks can there be ratings!

If the flower path was really a hopeless case, he would not have condescended to do it himself. But this young man from the flower-growing family dared to touch porcelain with the "old rogue" last season, and this season he dared to directly start a fight with the "old rogue", so what are you waiting for!

If the NBA really has no story, who would still watch it?

So, under some mysterious power, the league's player of the month in December was given to Hanamichi, who led the team to 12 wins and 13 losses.

本月花道场均33.5分12.4篮板3.5助攻2.2盖帽1.2抢断，要说这数据比带队12胜3负~场均32分7篮板4.4助攻2抢断1盖帽的迈克尔·乔丹要强，确实强那么一丢丢。

但要说这数据比上个月的月最佳，本月场均轰下30.5分11个篮板4.5助攻2盖帽1.5抢断的卡尔·马龙要强，那可未必！

But Karl Malone suffered the loss due to the team's poor performance. In December, the Salt Lake City Jazz had 12 wins and 11 losses. Although they were still ranked first in the Western Conference, they were still a little behind the Toronto Raptors with 5 wins and 13 losses!

Especially in this month, or even last month, these two strong teams from the East and West have never played against each other!

So, people are looking forward to the first head-to-head match between the Raptors and the Jazz this season on January 1th.

But before that, the Jazz have to play another game against their arch-rivals the Bulls on January 1th.

While this game was being broadcast all over the world, no one expected that on January 1th local time, a player from the Phoenix Suns would steal the headlines of the Bulls' second match against the Jazz!

Robert Horry, who once made great contributions to the Mosaic team and helped Hakeem Olajuwon win the championship, directly gave a "towel warning" to the Suns head coach Danny Ainge!

Originally, the matter was not a big deal. The problem was that the Suns head coach Danny Ainge had just taken office. He took over from the former head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons who had a 0-8 record and needed to establish his authority. So, wasn't Horry the candidate who came to him?

After that night, Robert Horry was immediately put on the shelf by the Suns management, and head coach Danny Ainge responded by promising the management to "make the playoffs."

(Danny Ainge did coach the Suns to 40 wins and 34 losses that season, and entered the playoffs with a total record of 40 wins and 42 losses, ranking seventh in the Western Conference)

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Raptors, where Hua Dao, who was eating the melon, was, but I don’t know what the team’s coach, Old Deng, was thinking. He actually wanted to recruit Robert Horry, the "boxer"!

But in the end, considering that the team already had two "key players" in Oakley and Big Ben, and that they were ultimately unable to compete with the Los Angeles Lakers, they gave up!

At this point, the Los Angeles Lakers, where Rapunzel is located, have welcomed another powerful player.

"The old dynasty has not yet been overthrown, and the new dynasty is gradually being established!"

Hua Dao looked at the tasks released by the system and had a strong premonition that after sniping [Old Rogue] for the second three consecutive championships, the next task would be to snipe the Purple Gold Dynasty.

Seeing that the popularity value on the system has reached 7 million, Hua Dao sighed:

"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades, you still need to work hard!"

But soon, Huadao received good news!

Although he missed the Christmas game, he led the first round of All-Star voting on January 1997, 1, US time, with 12 times the number of votes as Michael Jordan.

At the league's high-level meeting, after confirming the vote count, David Stern pointed to the 113.7 million votes shown in the document and said to the obviously shocked high-level officials with certainty:

"This is the mysterious power of the East. As long as the alliance masters it, it will be equivalent to mastering the code of wealth!"

The senior management looked at the document that showed Hanamichi had broken the record for the most votes for an All-Star starter, took a deep breath and said in unison:

"This kid is so scary!"

The number of votes in the first round broke the record, which is simply outrageous - it's outrageous to the extreme!

The Flower-Growing Country has a vast territory and a large population, but if we say that the number of votes and voting channels for the Flower-Growing Country should be restricted due to the population factor, look at David Stern's behavior, he will be the first to get angry with anyone who dares to propose it!

After all, the results of the first round of All-Star voting indirectly reflect that the NBA globalization strategy he promoted is effective and correct!

So instead of placing any restrictions, David Stern directly announced the data according to the actual situation, and attached various data and performances of Hanamichi in the first two months of this season!

So the American fans saw:

"Damn! He's even more ferocious than the Great Shark. Whose subordinate is this!"

The fans of the Flower Planting House took a look:

"Damn! He's even more powerful than the Great Shark. He even beat Jordan! No, I have to vote for him again!"

The American media were also not idle, and announced the votes of the starting players in the first round of the 97 All-Star Game, and brought out the successor of "Old Rogue", the previous All-Star voting champion Grant Hill, to "whip the corpse"!

What? If you can’t criticize the old rogue, it’s also good to criticize his successor!

Poor Grant Hill, the player who won 135 million votes to be elected as an All-Star starter in history, was the historical voting leader for only one year before he was defeated by the mysterious Eastern power and was dragged out and ruthlessly "whipped".

Hill: "I want to write a capital letter [miserable]!"

In the last month of 1996, the Player of the Month award was not given to Michael Jordan, nor to Karl Malone, the Player of the Month in November, but to the Toronto Raptors, who continued to lead the Eastern Conference.
