NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

"Oh wow, it looks like the Raptors' core was fooled by the experienced [Black and White] in this round!"

"The Jazz opened up a hole in our defense in the first round!"

A local commentator said gloatingly.

"It's no wonder. After all, Flower is too young to become the core of the team in her second year. She is only 19 years old."

"On the road of basketball, being young means there is still a lot of tuition to pay!"

"This time, Karl Malone and Stockton taught the young guy a lesson!"

The other commentator acts as a peacemaker or a rapper.

"In fact, Flower's performance is much better than other basketball players of the same age!"

"How many players have you seen with regular season stats of [20+10] in their rookie season?"

"If I remember correctly, Karl Malone's rookie season was only [14+8]!"

"And he was able to lead the team to the second round of the playoffs in his first year and scored 40 points in the playoffs."

“I really can’t imagine Flower’s future, because he is too young to have accomplished the above!”

The two commentators are debating with each other based on the performance of both sides, citing classics. As the two debate, the live broadcast ratings of this game are gradually rising!

That’s right, this game has been approved for live broadcast on Zhonghuajia!

This is the result of David Stern's unremitting efforts. With Hanamichi being the king of NBA All-Star tickets this year, he finally achieved this strategic goal!

The first live commentator and narrator of CCTV is our comrade Zhang Heli!

After many twists and turns, Comrade Zhang Heli returned to that familiar position, but this time, he was invited to participate in the commentary as a temporary part-time worker.

And the commentary will be done not in the live broadcast room of Zhonghuajia, but at the venue of today's game - Salt City Lake Energy Solutions Arena.

"For this ball, you can't blame Hanamichi for his lack of experience. It's really because the pick-and-roll threat of the [Utah Twins] is too great!"

"Oh~ [Utah Double Devils] refers to Karl Malone who just scored the goal and John Stockton who passed the ball!"

Then came a series of popular science materials about the Black and White Devils, and only then did the Chinese people know:

Oh! It turns out that Jordan is not the only one who cheats in playing basketball abroad!

However, less than a minute into the game, there was an exciting scene of stars from both teams fighting each other. It seemed that our players from the Flower-Growing Team were the ones at a disadvantage. This was not acceptable!

So countless spectators were looking forward to the continuation of the competition, hoping that Hanamichi could get back on track.

Of course, Hanamichi himself understood that it was impossible for him to advance to the super giant level before the game and then be beaten so badly in the game.

People all over the world are watching this game between the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference and the No. 1 team in the Western Conference. If he, as the core player of one of the teams, doesn't fight back, no matter how much the media praises him before, they will criticize him as much later!

"We must stand up!"

At the referee's signal, the Raptors served the ball.

Hanamichi stood in a 45-degree mid-range position early on, holding Ma Long with one hand and calling for the ball from the outside with the other.

After successfully catching the ball, Hanamichi squatted down and used his back to hit the ball.

Although Hanamichi's comprehensive low-post offensive ability, including back-to-the-basket play, has reached 116, which is among the best in the league, he rarely uses this move.

Hanamichi will only use this dimensionality reduction attack unless the opposing player has very poor physical fitness and the difference in height and weight is too big. Otherwise, Hanamichi will not use it under normal circumstances.

There are three main reasons. One is that Hanamichi has flexibility and diverse attacking methods, and back-to-the-basket is just one of them. Sometimes it is even used as a smoke bomb or fake move to interfere with the judgment of the opposing defensive players.

Another reason is that Hanamichi knows that the league is about to introduce the [Barkley Rule] to restrict post-up plays. In addition, he previously added fuel to the fire in the game against the Timberwolves, showing the "out-of-scope" side of post-up plays, so post-up plays are about to be "severely cut" by the league.

The last one is the issue of physical strength. Back-to-the-basket attack is a very practical and energy-saving offensive method, but Hanamichi can't use it at all.

With the [Physical Strength Monster] medal, and his durability and physical strength that are no less than that of the [Postman], he can fully open up his offense in the regular season.

But the other players didn't know that.

Karl Malone in front of him mistakenly thought that Hanamichi was going to use his "specialty" post-up move. After all, he used this move to teach Minnesota's new "Wolf King" a lesson before the All-Star Game.

"What a coincidence! I know how to do this question!"

Karl Malone was extremely excited. He had already mastered the post-up technique during the offseason of 1993. After four years of actual combat, he had mastered all the post-up techniques to perfection.

"With all due respect, you have to have a fat ass like Barkley to back me up!"

Karl Malone does have this confidence. After all, he knows his real weight very well, which is 10kg heavier than Hanamichi.

He lowered his center of gravity, placed his hands on his abdomen, and pressed them against Hanamichi's back, using all his strength to resist Hanamichi's back-hit. At the same time, he uttered provocative words:

"Kid, you want to post up? Let me teach you how to defend against a post-up attack first!"

As he said this, Karl Malone concentrated all the strength of his upper body on his hands and back, forming a strong resistance, while his lower body with the center of gravity lowered was like the roots of an old tree, as stable as Mount Tai.

Hanamichi felt the huge pressure from behind and leaned forward slightly, but still tried to continue to advance with his back to the ball.

The confrontation between the two became increasingly fierce, like a silent wrestling match, which made the audience very nervous.

At this tense moment, although Hua Dao secretly admired the opponent's strength and tenacity, but that was all he could do. After all, he was about to retreat and would not accompany him!

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his posture, it seems that Hanamichi is ready to make another effort to challenge Karl Malone's iron wall.

However, in reality, Hanamichi unexpectedly turned his back flexibly and broke through the opponent's defense.

Then he connected with an unexpected [Iron Blood Jump Shot] from the wing to complete this round of offense.

The whole movement was clean and neat, with the center of gravity lowered. Karl Malone, who was preparing for physical confrontation, had no time to react.

The basketball went in with a "swoosh" sound!

"Good shot, this shot is reasonable, that's how we should play him!"

Zhang Heli jumped up and down and cheered:

"Hanamichi handled the ball very well. Not to mention that Malone didn't react, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to block it!"

Hua Dao said: KG's [Iron Blood Jump Shot] is known to have the fewest blocks, and was not blocked once in the regular season. With such a high shooting point, it would be strange if he could be blocked!

"Hey guy!"

"I'm not the one who wants to be beaten from behind, it's you who wants to be beaten!"

After scoring the goal, Hanamichi responded to the trash talk Malone said when he was defending his back!

It turned out that when Hua Dao turned around and passed Ma Long, his elbow accidentally touched the latter. After all, turning around and delivering the elbow has become a conditioned reflex for Hua Dao. Even the referee didn't say anything. The person who was hit can only consider himself unlucky!

Fortunately, this move is not too harmful unless you use too much force on purpose!

Well, in the match between Hanamichi and Karl Malone, it was Hanamichi who showed his elbow first. You didn’t expect that, did you?

"Carl, how are you?"

Stockton, a master of tricks who made his way onto the villain list and became one of the league's most disliked opponents, of course, was well aware of everything that had just happened.

He quickly came over to check on his old friend's condition, but in fact he was observing his old friend's emotions to judge the intensity of the game: would it be like the playoffs or like WWE!

"It's okay, that guy is issuing a challenge!"

Karl Malone put his hands on his hips and pressed on the place where Hanamichi had just elbowed him, feeling only slight pain.

"Even though I was very optimistic about him, I still underestimated him!"

"His performance doesn't look like a rookie who has been playing for one or two years. He has the agility of a veteran in basketball!"

“Maybe he’s serious about not wanting to come to Salt Lake City!”

"In this case, we have to take this game seriously."

"John, show your playoff intensity. We can't let the youngsters step on us two old guys to get to the top!"

John Stockton thought, it's you who's against him, what does it have to do with me! It's him who's going to step on you, it's none of my business!

But he made an OK gesture with his hand.
