NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, Pippen, who was standing on the court and organizing the team's offense in an orderly manner, was like an indestructible line of defense, and instantly turned into an outstanding perimeter defense general!

He was fully focused and devoted all his efforts to the game, and every move was full of strength and determination.

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

Although he and the [Old Rogue] disagreed and had different salaries!

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

Yes, Pippen would never be willing to be the man behind the [Old Rogue]!

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

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

Didn't [Lone Wolf] Marbury and other good role players, who were originally known as his life and death friends, fall out with him because of KG's "squeezing" the team's salary?

Pippen has not wanted to be a salary measurement unit for many years, and this desire is stronger than not being the second in the team!

Although judging from the situation on the court, he basically has no big opportunity to perform on the offensive end.

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

"Everything for a big contract!"

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

(Pippen won the NBA's best defensive player first team for 8 consecutive years from 1992 to 1999)

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

Their nerves are extremely tense, and the slightest disturbance may cause a total collapse.

Unfortunately, the first to collapse is not the Raptors, but the Bulls!

The biggest problem of the Bulls 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!

Starting from the second half of the second quarter, Hanamichi was like a tireless lawn mower, scoring points with the old rogue like cutting melons and vegetables!

Although the old rogue blew up the Raptors' defense one by one, proving that he has 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 a cow.

Phil Jackson once tried to use Rodman, Luke Longley, and Bill Wennington to defend Hanamichi in turn.

But the same thing still applies:

"What kind of players are defending Hanamichi?"

"Luke Longley, Bill Wennington?"

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

"If they defend him any further, he'll score 30 points!"

"If they defend him any further, he'll score 40 points..."

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

He caused his boss to dislike him and give him a death stare!

In short, the entire Bulls' inside line in the third quarter was a teaching classroom for Hanamichi.

The Bulls' inside players were unilaterally trained!

But Rodman, after all, was a member of the Bad Boys Corps~ He was a "professional" and loved to make trouble in class!

He was like a stubborn guy who deliberately made trouble for Hanamichi on the defensive end, such as pulling clothes, pulling flesh, using ruthless hands, and raising elbows. These were purely disgusting little moves that would not easily get him sent off!

He even tore Hanamichi's jersey when he jumped up to grab a rebound!

Did it work?

It did!

Although the effect was not great, it did affect his mentality!

It was the kind of toad lying on the foot, which was not poisonous but disgusting.

If his skillful little moves were put on 10 years later, two Rodmans would have been sent off by the referee.

But this was the last 10 years of the 20th century, and this decade was also the last 10 years of the league's meat grinder!

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

Facing Rodman's persistence, Hanamichi took out the safest and most unsolvable play: [back-to-back].

He used his height, weight, and strength to bully Rodman.

All the back-to-back moves were transparent under the eyes of the referee. Even if Rodman wanted to play dirty, he had to consider the consequences.

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

Was it Hanamichi who was fearless and fought to the end?

Or was it [Old Rogue] who was fearless and fought to the end?【Old Rogue】 is still strong and strong, will he hold on to the end?

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

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

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

In addition to the fact that 【Old Rogue】, who has been fighting from the beginning to now, was defended by Doug Christie who had rested for most of the quarter and was blocked by 2 balls.

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

And he made two mid-range jump shots!

【Old Rogue】 still maintained his desire for victory, his eyes were full of murderous intent and fighting spirit!

But his body has 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 them worked hard on defense, not on offense like today!

In addition, the break time after the game with the Heat was less than 24 hours, and then there was another 48-minute offensive battle.

I'm afraid that only Zhang Erwan can do this!

In the fight between the two teams, the Bulls bled more 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 advantage!

The second game of the Eastern Conference Finals on May 22 will still be held at the Toronto Tianhong Sports Arena.

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