NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Hanamichi’s first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals has begun!

The day after the Jazz finished their game with the Mavericks, the hot spots for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Raptors and the Bulls covered most of Asia and North America.

At this time, the game tickets have been sold for as high as 5 US dollars, and you can't even buy a third-class ticket.

Toronto has seen a large influx of people in the past two days, including some flower lovers, such as Comrade Zhang Heli and some domestic media reporters;

There are those who live a happy life, such as Emperor Kishimoto, who used to love reading newspapers and envied the Bulls' championship, no, it was Kishimoto Mitsuki, the squinting Emperor Kakuta, Mitsui Hisashi, who would have inherited the Mitsui Group's fortune if he hadn't played basketball, the white-haired Buddha Anzai Mitsuyoshi who smiled from ear to ear throughout the whole process, and people like Rukawa Kaede, who was on the plane at this time because he missed his flight because he overslept.

Naturally, they were greeted by Akagi Haruko and the [Sakuragi Army].

Mito Yohei combed his hair into an adult style, put on a handsome suit, and tied a tie seriously:

"Hey, everyone, long time no see!"

Akagi Haruko, with a stronger and stronger Yamato Nadeshiko vibe all over her body, greeted loudly and sweetly:

"Onii-chan, Min-na!"

PDD, no, it's Takamiya Nozomi who doesn't know how to be polite and is too enthusiastic:

"Gorilla, long time no see!"

"Boom!"

"Who are you calling [Gorilla]!"

After a brief greeting, everyone, led by the Sakuragi Army, entered the stadium...the..."box" in an orderly manner!

This "box" is a "ladder" box with a price between US$12.5 and US$20. Each box comes with 36 square meters of entertainment space, equipped with a TV, surround sound, refrigerator and separate bathroom.

Compared with the on-site seats, the most attractive thing about this box is that the distance between it and the basket is 27 meters closer than before.

As for the other type of real luxury seating box, which costs between US$22.5 and US$29.5, it is close to the stadium, has a dedicated reception and allows pre-game dining.

"I'm sorry that the money for flower arrangement didn't come from the wind!"

Haruko Akagi, who took care of all this, also had her own little plans!

Briefly ignoring Rukawa Kaede who was still rushing to catch a plane, everyone took a bird's eye view of the entire stadium and quickly caught sight of the most dazzling red-haired player in the game.

And Hanamichi seemed to sense something and stretched out his right fist to gesture in the direction of the box!

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are mostly focused here!

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"This is the strongest enemy the Bulls have faced so far in this playoffs!"

"The Toronto Raptors, the league's new upstart team with a 71-win record this season."

Bill Walton introduced excitedly.

"Since the founding of the league, the only two teams to have achieved more than 70 wins will face off at the Toronto Rainbow Arena!"

"Let's wait and see what kind of sparks will erupt!"

"Next, let's introduce the starting lineups of the two teams."

The Bulls' starting lineup is still familiar:

First up is Michael Jordan, the strongest player in the league! As the founder of the Bulls' three-peat dynasty, the "God" is completing his second dynasty myth! "

"The best second-in-command in the league, no doubt about it, with a high base salary and an annual salary of less than 300 million US dollars, Scottie Pippen (7 years, 2000 million US dollars)"

"The owner of the colorful hairstyle, the unruly active rebounding champion, Rodman nicknamed "The Worm"."

"The Bulls' indispensable defensive player, Jordan's good helper, point guard Ron Harper."

“And the biggest guy in the league, center Luc Longley from Australia.”

"On the other side, the Raptors' starting player, who is playing at home and is the biggest dark horse of the season, has transformed into a [Dragon]!"

"The first one is their first Dragon King, last season's rebounding champion, this season's regular season MVP, scoring champion, and All-NBA First Team, nicknamed Flower!"

"Of course, I now prefer another nickname given to him by the fans - [God Slayer]!"

"Next is Flower's best partner, also selected to the All-NBA First Team, the engine of the Raptors, Damon Stoudemire, nicknamed 'Flying Squirrel'!"

"The next one is incredible. In just one season, he went from being a water cooler attendant to becoming the core of the team and a perimeter defender. I don't know whether to call him Doug Christie, the "scalpel" or the "nerve knife."

"No. 34 of the Raptors, once known as the most famous "Bermuda of Death" in the league, and still a famous "evil man" on the villain list today, Charles Oakley!"

"And Walter Williams, a preppy small forward from the University of Maryland."

This can be seen from the comparison of the lineups.

This lineup puts a lot of pressure on shooting guard Doug Christie and small forward Walter Williams.

Because they were facing the strongest duo in the league's history: Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

But in the same way, Bulls centers Luc Longley and Ron Harper are also having a hard time!

Because they are going to face the youngest core duo ever to lead a team into the semifinals: Hanamichi and Damon Stoudemire!

As for why it wasn't Rodman who was defending Hanamichi?

In view of the regular season matchup between the two teams, Bulls head coach Phil Jackson decided to use Luke Longley to consume Hanamichi's energy from the beginning.

Luc Longley is taller and heavier than Hanamichi (218cm, 120kg), and is in his prime (27 years old).

Although his footwork and bounce are below the level of the flower path, I believe that if he is only used for defense in the interior, he can achieve better defensive results than Rodman.

This is not because Luc Longley's defense is better than Rodman's, but precisely because Rodman's "hard conditions" are far worse than Hanamichi's.

Phil Jackson still remembers clearly the "Samoan Bulldozer"-style back-to-the-basket attack that Hanamichi used against this kind of player during the regular season!

Now take your lower four horses and match them with your upper four horses, take your upper four horses and match them with your middle four horses, and take your middle four horses and match them with your lower four horses.

In the eyes of this champion coach, Luc Longley is such an inferior horse, perfect for consuming Hanamichi, and can also unleash the rebounding ability of his own medium horse Rodman.

He can't beat Charles Oakley in a fight, but when it comes to rebounding, Oakley can't compare to the league's rebounding champion ~ Rodman!

When he [Zen Master] is not meditating, he also studies "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, okay?

As for the Raptors, head coach Brandon Malone did not make any pre-game mobilization arrangements. After all, making it to the Eastern Conference Finals was a first for him as a head coach!

He gave this right to the team's boss: Hanamichi!

Hua Dao looked at his teammates' piercing eyes and said only two words, which ignited the burning flame in everyone's hearts:

"God slayers, follow me!"

"Send the previous dynasty to hell!"

"Oh xAll!"
