NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The two-day break passed in a flash, and the day soon came to May 8th, US time.

At 8 o'clock tonight, the second match between the Raptors and the Hawks will be held at the Rainbow Arena in Toronto.

In stark contrast to the first game, the Hawks made an unexpected decision at the beginning of today's game - they actually sent Mutombo, the team's inside gate, to guard Flower!

In the Atlanta Times, there is such a prize-winning quiz: How to effectively limit Flower's offense!

You know, in the previous contest, Flower showed amazing inside kills. His flexible and changeable skills and unstoppable offensive firepower left a very deep impression on the Hawks.

Therefore, effectively limiting Flower's offense will greatly increase the Hawks' chances of winning.

And from the wisdom of the people, one of the answers was deeply recognized by the Hawks head coach Lenny Wilkens.

That is to let Mutombo, who is experienced, battle-hardened and good at defense, personally go out to defend such a powerful enemy from the beginning, and resolutely not let Hanamichi play smoothly.

In addition, let Christian Laettner seize the opportunity to double-team and assist in defense.

Therefore, Hanamichi also enjoys the treatment of a superstar in the playoffs!

Facing the defense of [African Mountains], Hanamichi simply showed off his footwork.

In the interior, a skilled shoulder shake followed by a Shanghai elderly disco dance step deceived Mutombo, and then easily made a layup.

ESPN commentator ~ Ma Fu was so impressed.

"I remember someone said before that Flower should learn the skyhook from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."

"Now it seems that Flower should have secretly learned the footwork from Dream, it's really amazing!"

"In the first round of the confrontation, it seems that DPOY lost to our regular season MVP!"

In fact, this is what Mutombo did not expect, that the red-haired boy in front of him actually has such a superb inside footwork.

That's why he suffered a small loss at the beginning of this game.

However, as DPOY, his defensive strength and intensity are more than this level.

Look, in the next rebounding position of the Raptors, he firmly blocked Hanamichi behind him. Although he did not grab the ball, he did not let Hanamichi take advantage of it.

Especially after Oakley grabbed the ball, this comrade [African Mountain] directly pointed a finger at the sky and swung it left and right.

Oakley didn't think about it, who doesn't have the ideal of slapping the opponent in the face?

He stood up under the basket, and the exaggerated strength and size, the powerful impact almost made the dumbfounded Christian Laettner unable to resist.

After Christian Laettner stood firm, he was already unable to stop Oakley's layup~ unless he grabbed his waist as a foul!

However, fouls are fouls, but if you grab Oakley's waist, you should think twice!

After all, this behavior is indeed immoral, and it is more likely to be regarded by Oakley as the starting move of free fighting [German back throw].

That would be a big misunderstanding!

So, Christian Laettner, who had many concerns, missed the best opportunity to stop Oakley from scoring.

Unexpectedly, Mutombo took a step forward, opened his big hands like a palm leaf fan, and heard a loud "pop".

A super block was firmly blocked on the basketball in Oakley's hand.

This block was not only powerful and powerful, but also perfectly timed. It can be said to be flawless and impeccable!

The sound made those who didn't know think that the basketball was going to be blown up!

You can imagine how powerful it was!

The basketball was also knocked down from Oakley's hand to the ground.

Das had a low base and unexpectedly picked up the ball, and then dribbled the ball in one step [looking back at the moon].

The basketball was spinning rapidly in the air, and when it was thrown back from Das's hand, it formed a beautiful and unique arc.

This is also a common move for Das to break into the inside line. Whether it is the speed of rotation or the arc of the throw, it all shows the pitcher's superb skills and profound skills.

It was a sure-shot ball.

The entire stadium fell into silence, with only the black figure like a mountain moving quickly...

It was Mutombo again!

At the critical moment, the [African mountain], which was as still as a mountain and as powerful as thunder, rushed towards the basketball that was slowly rotating and rising in the air with lightning speed.

He jumped high, his arms were as hard and powerful as steel, and he slapped the basketball fiercely.

With a crisp and loud "pop", he successfully completed this amazing move - a volleyball cap!

The ball that was originally stillThe slowly rising basketball seemed to have been hit hard, and it changed direction instantly, like a cannonball, and flew out rapidly, flying straight towards the audience.

At that moment, the cheers of the Raptors' home fans were hoarse in their throats.

They stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths wide open, and their faces were full of unbelievable expressions.

And the poor basketball, after drawing a beautiful arc in the air, landed accurately on the third tier of seats in the audience, causing a burst of exclamations and commotion.

The commentator in the live broadcast room shouted:

"This is the defensive strength of the best defensive player!"

"In the playoffs, you must know that only defense will never betray you!"

"It seems that the Raptors are going to be in big trouble in this game!"

"The Hawks' defensive core is online, which means that the Raptors' strongest inside attack threat has decreased!"

"If you only rely on Flower's hard digging of one ball after another, it will definitely not work."

"Next, it depends on the countermeasures of the Raptors' head coach!"

On the court, [African Mountain], who had blocked two shots in a row, roared excitedly, and shook his finger at the fans, and said to Damon Stoudemire, who was only as tall as his chest:

"Little guy, you shouldn't come to my territory to get blocked!"

Then he looked at Hanamichi with a provocative look:

"If you have the guts, come to the penalty area and fight me!"

If this was said to Charles Oakley or Ben Wallace, the latter two would definitely fight with Mutombo.

It was a real fight, with sleeves rolled up and ready to fight!

But Hanamichi was not the kind of "tough guy" who trained his muscles to his brain. He was thinking about how to lead the team to win the game.

But no matter how he won, he was not such a good-tempered person if he didn't fight back when someone pointed at his nose and provoked him.

The so-called intolerable, no need to endure it anymore!

On the offensive end, Hanamichi's first choice was to get back on the field, otherwise what would the fans, his family and friends think, and his teammates think!

The first chapter of "How to Cook a Soft Egg" said: As the leader of the team, the Answer Ball must be played!

Hanamichi asked for the ball in the low post, and he pushed towards the basket against Mutombo's rock-solid defense.

But Uncle Mu's lower body is notoriously hard, and Hanamichi's attempt to push him failed.

Seeing that he couldn't push, Hanamichi directly turned sideways, tiptoed, stretched his neck, and looked up at the basket.

His hands were preparing to catch the ball as he turned halfway.

Mutombo judged Hanamichi's next step with his years of experience:

"Go for a jump shot!"

And Hanamichi's back-to-the-basket connection [iron jump shot] is notoriously accurate, and if Mutombo remembers correctly, Hanamichi's jump shot has never been blocked!

"Kid, if you want to shoot in front of me, you're two years too early!"
