NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

As the world's most influential top basketball league, NBA has many amazing stadiums.

They are not only the home court of the team, but also the holy land of basketball.

And Madison Square Garden is one of such stadiums that carries countless basketball legends.

This stadium located in the center of New York City has always been proud of [Gorilla] Ewing as the core of the team in the past.

But in this Bulls' strongest season, they paid a small price to exchange for the lively [Shark].

Together with the [Gorilla] who is about to enter the West Mountain, they formed the league's top-ranked inside double tower combination!

New York fans are extremely optimistic that this combination can perfectly form a core alternation, just like the perfect alternation of the Stone Buddha and the Admiral in San Antonio in another time and space.

Of course, it would be even better if one or two O'Brien Cups could be won during this period!

Thanks to the extremely generous Magic team and the Raptors who actively promoted the three-way trade.

But gratitude is gratitude, and when we meet in the playoffs, we still have to hammer it!

After all, it was you who gave us this luxurious inside lineup of the New York Knicks!

With excitement, the New York Knicks, who also swept their opponents 3:0, waited for the opportunity to face the Raptors at home.

On May 6, the packed Madison Square Garden.

Here tonight, the Raptors, who advanced to the second round, will face the New York Knicks away.

On the sidelines, the commentator from ESPN excitedly mobilized the audience's emotions:

"My fellow Radissonians!"

"The most watched inside combination in the league this season may be revealed today!"

"From the starting lineups of both sides, we can see that Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing, and Charles Oakley and Flower from the Raptors will all start."

"This game is also known as the battle of the twin towers in the inside."

"After half a season of testing and running-in, the core insides of the two teams seem to have good chemistry!"

"From the inside players of both sides, According to the data, Flower of the Raptors averaged [21.5 points + 15 rebounds + 3.5 assists + 1.5 blocks] in the regular season, Oakley averaged [14.4 points + 8.7 rebounds + 3.6 assists + 1.5 steals]"

"While O'Neal of the Knicks averaged [26.6 points + 11 rebounds + 2.9 assists + 2.1 blocks], Ewing [21.5 points + 10.7 rebounds + 1.9 assists + 3.1 blocks] was slightly better."

"Oh? So you mean you are optimistic about the Knicks?"

Another commentator asked the question that most fans at the scene wanted to answer.

"No, No, No!"

"Basketball is a game for five or more people after all. It is obviously unfair to decide the outcome of the game by the competition between two inside players."

"What I want to say is that compared with the young Raptors, the Knicks, who have been fighting in the league for many years, obviously have more cards in hand!"

At this time, the fans on the sidelines suddenly cheered.

"Come on! Damon."

"Let me see your sexy flying squirrel tattoo!"

"Oh, Charles, have you become stronger again?"

"Flower, look at me! Ah~ I'm dizzy!"

"Flower, come on!"

...

But with the more emotional introduction of DJ, Madison Square Garden welcomed their host!

The first one to appear was [Shark], who had been the host for only half a year.

Seeing him laughing and playing with his teammates, it seems that he has had a good time in the Knicks during this period!

Of course, this is also because he has not been in the metropolis of New York for a long time.

Otherwise, let alone anything else, I'm afraid he would have a conflict with the [Gorilla] because he was the first to appear instead of the last!

The last player to appear on the team was the [Gorilla] Ewing.

It should be said that old Nelson still has two brushes. At least he was able to properly handle the relationship with him after trading Oakley without telling Ewing.

Of course, it may be because Ewing was not touched, and of course it may be because Ewing learned that a more powerful guy had come.

In short, all members of the Knicks are now twisted together and vowed to win the O'Brien Cup in one or two seasons.

"Oh, man, it's great to see you!"

"How about it, I mean your days in New York!"

When Hanamichi saw O'Neal, the big black man, he stepped forward and said a few words in a subtle way based on the feelings of pulling the basket together.

Who knew that O'Neal hugged Hanamichi's slightly "thin" body and said:

"My dear FlOwer, you really can't imagine the beauty of New York, this international metropolis!"

"Here, your closet will be filled with the contact information of female fans with various perfumes!"

"Believe me, no one doesn't love the night here."

"You can do whatever you want..."

…………

Although what O'Neal said, Hua Dao wanted to learn more.

But limited by the small notebooks of the reporters on the scene, Hua Dao quickly ended the friendly greetings between the two sides.

Looking at the stronger back of [Shark], Hua Dao felt that this game was not so easy.

But~ Hua Dao shrugged:

"Who cares!"

"Anyway, it's not me who's going to deal with him!"

In the pre-match preparation, Raptors head coach Landon Malone emphasized the interior defense:

"According to the Knicks' offensive habits, it is generally preferred to open the situation from the interior."

"Especially with the arrival of O'Neal, Ewing's soft spot of not being strong enough under the basket in the playoffs has been made up. ”

(In fact, the real reason is that Ewing had a knee injury in his senior year and was seriously injured again in 1990. The knee injury caused his playing style to be biased to the outside again and again. He could not gain too much weight and his playing style relied more on shooting. He was called a soft egg.)

"Now my requirement is to try to cut off the inside and outside connection of the Knicks."

"We have the best rhythm transmission. We don't want to fight the Knicks!"

"Run! We will play the running and gunning tactics that old Nelson is best at!"

"Flower, the main tactical starting point of the team today will start with you, but remember, you must move when you receive the ball, don't fight the positional battle!"

"In a word, I want the two big guys on the opposite inside line to have no time to breathe!"

...

After the warm-up of both sides, the starting players came on the court.

The jump ball was for O'Neal and Flower Road.

The commentator also introduced the physical data of the two people one by one:

"Shaquille is 216cm tall and weighs 125kg. ”

“Flower is 214cm tall and weighs 113kg.”

“From a jump ball perspective, Flower, who is lighter, obviously gets to the ball faster than O’Neal.”

“But the biggest problem for the Raptors is that they have to use Oakley, who is 203cm tall, against Shaquille, who is 216cm tall.”

“Especially since there is a 10kg difference between the two!”

The audience also saw that Oakley, who was playing in the paint, was at a natural disadvantage compared to O’Neal. This had nothing to do with his skill level, but was a natural suppression!

“It looks like Shaquille O’Neal can continue his 30+ double-double from the last game! ”

ESPN's commentator has already made a comment.

On the court, Das carefully protected the ball and came to the right side of the arc top, which is the place where he is best at attacking as a left-handed player.

The opposing defender John Starks is an old acquaintance of Das. At 191cm, his flexibility is completely different from other tall point guards, so Das is also cautious and dare not reveal any flaws.

Soon, Hanamichi ran out of the open space across the free throw line.

Seeing this, Das immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to where Hanamichi was about to run. Seeing this, Ewing followed closely behind him near the penalty area, not giving Hanamichi space to handle the attack.

Unexpectedly, Hanamichi just scooped the ball with his big hand, then made a beautiful emergency stop and reversed run, and turned his back to jump shot.

"Swish!"

The ball went in, and the Raptors took the lead with 2 points.

"Hey! There is no traveling in my jump shot!"

"You have to be careful then, Mr. Ewing who can bunny jump! "

After scoring the goal, Hanamichi deliberately named him. For the current leader of the New York Knicks, Hanamichi has already thought of the most appropriate way to defeat him!

"The first generation of gorilla hunters are ready!"
