Ewing swore that he had jumped up and blocked the ball with the fastest speed and reaction, and even to outsiders, his fingers had touched the lower part of the basketball thrown by Hanamichi.

But helplessly, he knew that his fingertips might be only 1cm away from the airflow caused by the basketball flying in the air.

Due to the effect of inertia, Hanamichi slid backwards after shooting, and then fell straight to the ground.

He lay on the ground, staring at the basketball in the air with concentration, and saw the basketball hit the basket, but like a naughty child, it repeatedly jumped three times on the edge of the basket, as if it was deliberately teasing people.

But in the end, the basketball still fell into the basket obediently.

Hanamichi excitedly punched the floor with all his strength, and cheered:

"Fuck you!"

Some Raptors fans at the scene also cheered. If this game was played at the Raptors' home court, Hanamichi dared to guarantee that the Raptors' stadium would be overturned by the cheers of the fans!

"40 points!"

"He did it!"

"I don't think anyone in the league will call him a rookie because of his age!"

"This is a very dangerous and powerful scoring machine!"

Fortunately, the commentator was very helpful. Seeing a rookie complete the feat of 40 points in the playoffs, he slapped the table and shouted excitedly.

Another commentator was curious about Hanamichi's lip shape:

"Is this Tomato?"

"It seems that this player who refreshed his highest score excitedly called out his favorite food!"

"Tonight, all members of the Raptors will have a snack~Tomato!"

After that, as the owner of Madison Square Garden, Ewing tried to return a jump shot, but unfortunately, the opportunity came but did not go in.

Ewing adjusted his movements in the air, he raised the ball above his head, and then jumped up suddenly, trying to respond to the goal just now with a beautiful jump shot.

However, the basketball bounced off the edge of the basket as if it was cast by magic, causing the audience to sigh.

On the contrary, John Starks, who picked up the frontcourt rebound, made a layup, but was blocked by Hanamichi, and the ball flew out of the sideline.

Hanamichi showed a smug smile on his face, while Starks shook his head helplessly, sighing in his heart: "This kid is really a monster..."

Hanamichi waved his arms excitedly and signaled to his teammates.

The coach on the sidelines couldn't help but nod and praise, and was very satisfied with Hanamichi's performance.

"Well done!" The coach shouted loudly.

Hanamichi was very happy, but he was very aggressive and spitting trash words at John Starks:

"Man, this is your territory!"

Hanamichi shook his head at John Starks, walked with the overlord step and high-fived Das who followed.

The game continued, and Hanamichi's morale was greatly boosted by this successful defense.

However, the morale of the New York Knicks team was scattered, and the score was widened to 13 points.

Old Nelson called a timeout. In fact, if it weren't for the next match against the damned Bulls, he would have wanted to give up this game that was obviously disadvantageous to him.

But in order to save more energy by playing one less game, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain, so he had to give the team's main players chicken soup to continue to fight until the last second.

"Strengthen the inside defense. I don't want to see the annoying red-haired guy on the opposite side continue to show off in the penalty area!"

"Patrick, when did your movements become so gentle?"

"Don't be afraid of that damn foul, you are the king of New York!"

...

"Let him shoot from the outside. As long as you grab the rebound, you will still win this game!"

...

After this wave of chicken blood from old Nelson, the Knicks have recovered a little morale.

After returning to the court, Ewing really used his body to firmly block Hanamichi outside the paint area. This time he used his body to push him out.

Seeing this, Hanamichi was surprised and thought to himself:

"It seems that this is the end of his tricks."

So he turned his back decisively and left Ewing behind, but then O'Neal rushed over without hesitation, and attacked from both sides, blocking Hanamichi in the middle.

"Got you!"

O'Neal shouted excitedly, and Ewing was also staring at Hanamichi from behind, ready to steal the ball.

Hanachi was blocked in the middle by two burly men and had no choice but to shoot, while O'Neal tried his best to block the shot. However, Ewing, who had been frustrated throughout the game, was somewhat emotional. He jumped up with the momentum of the rush, and regardless of whether it was a block, he raised his arm and slapped Hanamichi on the top of his head..

Hanamichi, who had his back to Ewing, knew nothing about this.

The moment the ball was shot, he only felt that it was dark~ Then~ Hanamichi and Ewing both left the court!

The former was confused and was clearly arranged by the referee, coach, and team doctor, while the latter was penalized for a flagrant foul.

Both teams lost their core, but the Knicks still had a [Big Shark] O'Neal in the interior.

Under his stirring up trouble, the Raptors' restricted area defense was in danger.

In the end, in the fourth quarter, the Knicks overtook the Raptors and won the series by a large margin with a slight advantage of 2 points!

The two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals came out, the 72-win Chicago Bulls against their old rivals~ the New York Knicks.

As for Hanamichi, he did not accept the post-match interview, but was undergoing a concussion assessment by the NBA league doctor in a quiet little room.

So far, Hanamichi's first year has been frozen in the picture of being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.

In the playoffs, Hanamichi started 8 times, averaging 42 minutes per game, averaging 26.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2.5 blocks and 1 steal per game, which is not inferior to Michael's data who won the championship this season.

(Michael·I am everywhere·Jordan averaged 30.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in the playoffs this season)

As for why the New York Knicks lost in the Eastern Conference Finals, some New York fans think that it was because Ewing was suspended for 2 games!

Because Ewing has been penalized 4 points this season, and in the last game against the Raptors, he was sentenced to a second-degree malicious foul by the referee who was strict in punishment, so he was automatically suspended in the first two games against the Bulls.

In the end, the Knicks lost to the Bulls 2:4 and missed the best chance to win the O'Brien Cup!

"It's all Ewing's fault!"

This is the New York Knicks fans, as cold and ruthless as the winter in New York.

Their praise can push heroes to the top, and their scolding can push heroes to the abyss.

Patrick Ewing, the former king of New York, should have felt this pressure and left the field in the late stage of his career two years later.

But this time, because of his slap block to Hanamichi's head, he felt the ruthlessness of New York in advance.

And why do we say that the Knicks missed the best chance to win the championship!

This is because the team's head coach Nelson has decided to resign voluntarily. As a famous coach, he cannot accept the fact that he was taken out by the team management to take the blame. In addition, he and the Knicks players did not get along well.

If it weren't for O'Neal's arrival, I'm afraid he would have decided to resign in the middle of the season!

At present, even Ewing has the idea of ​​leaving. The Knicks, which are about to fall apart, may be more difficult than climbing to the sky to make a difference in the next season!

As for continuing to recruit stars, who would be willing to risk being scolded by New York fans to challenge this city's basketball hegemony?
