NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

Hanamichi, who fully understood the idea and mastered the tactics after only three days of team training, played a performance on the defensive end of the court that shocked the entire league.

For most of the first quarter, Hanamichi followed Karl Malone's running route like a tireless robot.

His eyes were focused and firm, and he was always alert, not giving Malone any easy chance to catch the ball.

Whenever Malone tried to get rid of the defense, Hanamichi would always catch up quickly and block Malone's way with his elbow, making it impossible for him to catch the ball smoothly.

Not only that, Hanamichi also successfully reduced the Jazz's pick-and-roll efficiency.

Originally, the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics were one of their important means of offense, but under Hanamichi's defense, one of the two players in this "two-man tactic" was restricted by him.

If other players of the Jazz try to create open shots through pick-and-roll, Hua Dao will occasionally create a little "surprise" and arrive in time with super-fast assist speed to interfere with the opponent's pass and shot, making the Jazz's offense weak and powerless.

In terms of grabbing positions, Hua Dao may be slightly inferior to Malone, but in terms of running positions and assisting defense, Hua Dao is not inferior to anyone in the league!

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"I think the league has completely underestimated Flower in the ranking of the best defensive lineup."

"I dare say that there are no more than 5 players in the league who can defend Karl Malone so well."

"For this reason alone, Flower deserves a best defensive lineup!"

The commentator responsible for calling for the Raptors is frantically praising Hua Dao's defense!

And Comrade Zhang Heli is also popularizing the importance of defense in the game for the fans of the Flower Growers:

In a word-defense wins the championship!

And the Raptors have the core of Hua Dao, so they have the confidence to win the championship!

This season, the Raptors are one of the few teams in the league that averages more than 97 points per game, but limits the opponent's average score to less than 90 points per game!

It is really hard for the hot-tempered Jazz coach~Jerry Sloan to accept that his team's pick-and-roll success rate did not exceed 40% for most of the first quarter.

You should know that even in the previous regular season, facing the Bulls, their pick-and-roll cooperation completion rate was more than 50%.

"Your movements are too gentle, Karl!"

"The kid on the opposite side can't show elbows, can't you?"

"Do you want me to go on the court and demonstrate it to you?"

Jerry Sloan finally couldn't help it. In the last two minutes of the first quarter, he stood on the sidelines and pointed fingers at Karl Malone, the core of his team, but there was a hint of discord in what he said!

The referee frowned: This game is good, you have to add a few elbows to liven up the fun, right?

Seeing Jerry Sloan's eloquent appearance, the referee really couldn't help but once again aimed his eyes and whistle at the coach who was called for the most fouls in the league.

That's right, this hot-tempered iron-blooded coach is the head coach who has received the most technical fouls in NBA history!

In his 26-year coaching career, which has been concluded, he received a total of 413 technical fouls.

The reason why he is called "iron-blooded" is that he has challenged the authority of the referee many times and was suspended for "illegal contact" with the referee.

The key is that no one dares to fight with Jerry Sloan because the price to pay is too high!

As former Jazz coach Frank Layden said:

"You may be the winner in a fight with him, but in the process, you may lose an eye, an arm or a testicle (balls)!"

Back on the court, Jerry Sloan saw the referee's warning eyes and the whistle aimed at him, and then he smacked his lips, as if he had not had enough, and sat back in the coaching seat.

It can be said that Malone's iron elbow, Stockton's tricks, and the noisy noise of the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City are not the hallmarks of the Jazz. Only the temper of the Utah Godfather is the soul of this team.

Karl Malone was very helpless. It was indeed the red-haired kid in front of him who was a little difficult to deal with!

In the past, it was not that he had never encountered such a situation where he was very uncomfortable with the pick-and-roll tactics being restricted. However, since Jeff Hornacek came in 1994, he has also practiced face-to-basket techniques and mid-range shots, and this situation is very rare.

"By the way - Hornacek! Where is Hornacek?"

Jeff Hornacek, who was watched closely by Doug Christie, silently raised his paw at the bottom corner three-pointer.

Hanamichi couldn't help but laugh. The best defense for [Mamba] in the futureGood players come to defend you, what else can you not be satisfied with!

What? Who is [Mamba]?

Oh, that's a guy with a big hair and a cauliflower snake who is playing as a substitute in a certain team! You just need to know that he will be great in this industry in the future!

As for now, the greatest active player is of course myself!

What? Jordan! Look at me "one championship surpassing Jordan" in the playoffs!

Hanamichi felt that a capital "expansion" was about to be engraved on his face!

However, a player with diverse offensive methods, unlimited defensive capabilities, and online basketball IQ that can adapt to 90% of the league's tactics, and most importantly, he is more handsome than all of you Yanzu readers. Such a player with first-class physical fitness and inherent resistance to being fucked, shouldn't he be a little inflated?

"No, this is a Zhongmi live broadcast, I can't show it too obviously, it will damage my image in the flower-growing family!"

"By the way, I have to be a Buddhist!"

Hanmichi, who inherited the [Stone Buddha] card, has also learned 80% of the [Stone Buddha]'s paralyzed face at this moment.

Zhang Heli was overjoyed:

"Well, this is called professionalism!"

"He who has thunder in his chest and calm face can be worshipped as a general!"

Well, Hua Dao has another nickname of [General] this time.

Hua Dao:

"Please~ Zhang Heli!"

"If you can talk, please talk more!!"

After the first quarter, the score was 27:21, and the Raptors led by 6 points.

Hua Dao didn't take many shots, but scored 7 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll efficiency decreased, Karl Malone's number of missed shots increased sharply, and Jerry Sloan's tactics weakened the role of the center.

Hua Dao basically took most of the rebounds in the restricted area, and this did not include Charles Oakley's rebounds.

In the second quarter, Oakley left the court and Ben came on, and the master and apprentice of [Crouching Dragon and Phoenix] seamlessly connected.

Hanamichi looked at Ben's afro:

"Did you see the time in the first quarter?"

"Learn from him!"

Ben patted his chest and looked up and said:

"O muscle king!"

As for Hanamichi, he retired after his success and went to defend the Jazz center Antoine Carr who came off the bench.

As for Karl Malone, of course, it was handed over to his younger brother Ben Wallace!
