NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, Pi Er, who is standing on the court and organizing the team's offense in an orderly manner, is like an indestructible line of defense, and instantly transforms into an outstanding outside defensive general!

He put his full attention and energy into the game, and every move he made was full of strength and determination.

At this moment, he finally became the man behind the [Old Rogue]!

Even though he and the [Old Rogue] had different opinions and different salaries!

But this did not hinder his wonderful performance in this fierce competition.

Yes, there is no way Pippen would be willing to be the man behind the "old rogue"!

In fact, after this season, Pippen will force the team to abdicate because of the contract issue, fall out with the Bulls management, and then have a conflict with the "Old Rogue"!

Just like KG signed a sky-high billion-dollar contract after this season.

Didn't Lone Wolf Marbury, who was once known as his close friend, and other good role players fall out with him because of KG's "squeezing" of the team's salary?

Pi Er hasn't wanted to be a salary measurement unit for many years. This desire is even stronger than not wanting to be the second in the team!

Although judging from the situation on the court, he basically doesn't have much opportunity to perform on the offensive end.

But on the defensive end, these Raptors players are still too young!

"Everything for the big contract!"

It is also time for the Raptors' outside players to see what the defensive strength of the league's best defensive first team players is!

(Pippen was named the NBA's best defensive player for eight consecutive years from 1992 to 1999)

Therefore, although the Raptors have maintained a slight lead and are being chased in front, they are under great psychological pressure!

Their nerves are stretched to the limit, and any slight disturbance could lead to a total collapse.

Unfortunately, the first team to collapse was not the Raptors, but the Bulls!

The Bulls' biggest problem is not offense, and similarly, the biggest problem is not perimeter defense!

Their biggest problem comes from the team's inside line!

No inside player can limit Hanamichi's performance!

From the second half of the second quarter, Huamichi was like a tireless lawn mowing machine, scoring points with the old rogue as easy as cutting melons and vegetables!

Although the old rogue destroyed the Raptors' defense one by one, he proved that he had the strength to [slay the dragon]!

But Hanamichi was not to be outdone, and he blew up the Bulls' inside defense from beginning to end like a butcher cutting up an ox.

Phil Jackson once tried to use Rodman, Luc Longley and Bill Wennington to take turns defending Hanamichi.

But again:

"What level of player is defending Hanamichi?"

"Luke Longley, Bill Wennington?"

"Can they defend against Hanamichi? They can't!"

"If we keep defending him, he'll score 30 points!"

"If we continue to defend him, he will score 40 points..."

In this round, Hanamichi taught him a lesson with his footwork and jump shot. In the next round, Hanamichi used his body to dunk on him, and he even lost with a [2+1].

This caused the boss to displease him and give him a death stare!

All in all, the entire Bulls' inside line in the third quarter was a teaching classroom for flower guidance.

The Bulls' inside players were unilaterally trained!

On the other hand, Rodman is a member of the Bad Boys Group. He is a professional but he just loves to make trouble in class!

Like a stubborn person, he deliberately created trouble for Hanamichi on the defensive end, pulling his clothes, grabbing his flesh, using ruthless hands, and raising his elbows. These were purely disgusting little moves that would not get him easily sent off!

There was even one time when Hanamichi jumped up to grab a rebound and tore his jersey!

Did it work?

It did!

Although it doesn’t have much effect, it does improve your mentality!

It's the kind that's like a toad lying on your feet, not poisonous enough to kill you, but disgusting enough.

If this skillful little move of his was seen 10 years later, two Rodmans would have been sent off by the referee.

But this was the last 20 years of the 10th century, and these 10 years were also known as the last 10 years of the alliance’s meat grinder!

Although Rodman's little actions were disgusting, we have to admit that they were a microcosm of the NBA court at that time.

Facing Rodman's persistence, Hanamichi used the safest and most unstoppable strategy: [post-up].

Just use height, weight and strength to bully Rodman.

All back-to-the-basket moves were transparent under the eyes of the referee, and even if Rodman wanted to foul, he had to consider the consequences.

The protracted battle between Hanamichi and the [Old Rogue] is also known as the peak battle between the new and old generations!

Is it that the young flower arrangement master is so fearless that he fights to the end?

Or will the [old rogue] still be strong and hold on to the end?

Time, the most ruthless unit of measurement, gives all the audience here the most fair and reasonable answer!

At the end of the third quarter, the Bulls narrowed the gap to 3 points.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the team was stunned by the Raptors' 8:0 wave and instantly fell behind the Raptors by 11 points!

Except for the "Old Rogue" who fought hard from the beginning to now and was defended against Doug Christie who had rested for most of the quarter and was blocked 2 goals.

Hanamichi also overpowered Rodman and grabbed the two crucial defensive rebounds.

And made two mid-range jump shots!

[Old Rogue] still maintains his desire for victory, his eyes are full of murderous intent and fighting spirit!

But his body has already conveyed to his brain the opinion of lack of "strength"!

Yes, even in the series of defensive battles against the Heat, [Old Rogue] played for more than 40 minutes.

But after all, most of the effort was put into defense, not as much sweat on the offensive end as today!

In addition, there was less than 24 hours of rest after the game against the Heat, and then there was another 48-minute offensive battle.

I think the only one who can do this is Zhang Erwan!

After a fierce battle between the two teams, the Bulls suffered more blood and fell first!

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Chicago Bulls 127:119 and secured their first home-court advantage!

The second game of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 5 will still be held at the Toronto SkyTeam Arena.

By then, the Raptors will welcome even bigger cheers at home!
