At the end of the game, Hanamichi played for 42.9 minutes.

Except for being replaced once in the first half, he barely played the whole game.

Of course, he didn't really "play the whole game", after all, he also "learned by himself" on the court [hands on hips], [directing traffic] and fished for a while.

The whole game was 96:83, and the Raptors defeated the Timberwolves at home with a 13-point advantage.

Hanamichi took 19 shots in the whole game, scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 1 steal;

Das also played for more than 40 minutes, and scored a double-double of 22 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, and 4 steals.

As for KG, he also scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.

From the data, well~ these three people are very strong in combat!

Especially Hanamichi and Das, it can be said that they seamlessly connected from NCAA to NBA.

It is worthy of the expectations of the Raptors head coach Landon Malone and the Raptors management before the game.

Although these two rookies still showed some flaws in the game.

For example, Das's inherent weakness on the defensive end and Hanamichi's slacking behavior in the game.

But the flaws are not enough to hide the merits, at least these two are worthy of the corresponding draft picks.

Although one game cannot determine the winner, the report of General Manager Masai Ujiri to the owner Timothy Lewek is a good report!

"Next, of course, it depends on the head coach, what does it have to do with me, the general manager!"

General Manager Masai Ujiri, who watched the game in person on the sidelines, said righteously:

"I have selected two "20+10" combat forces and give them to you. If you can't lead them, it's your problem!"

Landon Malone, the coach, was left watching Hanamichi and Das celebrating enthusiastically on the court, not knowing whether to cry or laugh!

After the game, head coach Landon Malone took two rookies, the core of the team, Hanamichi and Das, to attend the post-match press conference.

There were quite a lot of people at the press conference.

But if you look closely, most of them are local media.

Media reporters from other regions basically went to Houston to prepare for interviews with the defending champion and [God].

After getting permission, a local media reporter from Toronto spoke first, and his question was very sharp:

"Coach Malone, congratulations to the Raptors for their first win of the season. We noticed that the Raptors played very well in this game, and the two rookies of the team performed very well. Does this mean that the Raptors will use these two rookies as the core of the team next?"

Landon Malone was obviously well prepared, and he responded by pushing Tai Chi slowly:

"This game was won by the efforts of all members of our Raptors team, and this is of course attributed to all the players."

"As for Fl Ower and Damon, they are making their first appearance in the NBA regular season today, so of course they need to have a good spirit. "

"Although they have a little more shooting rights, they are all within a reasonable range."

"After all, every team that trains rookies will not let high-ranking players sit on the bench!"

"As for the issue of building the core of the team, haha! It depends on their performance in the future!"

"In a season of more than 80 games, one game can't explain anything."

Anyway, Landon Malone just refuses to admit the sensitive issue of [building the core of the team].

Anyway, I have my reasons, I can explain, but I just don't admit it!

Once Landon Malone admits it, other teams will start to study and target Hanamichi and Das in advance.

Develop some targeted strategies and countermeasures, such as increasing strength, finding weaknesses, and attacking defects.

And this situation is undoubtedly a wake-up call for rookie players, and generally they cannot overcome it in a short time!

That is what we commonly call the [rookie wall]!

Afterwards, Coach Malone explained to Hanamichi and Das why they had not announced the core issues of the two teams.

Hanamichi and Das laughed it off, and Hanamichi thought that Coach Malone was too worried.

You have to know that the player in front of you is a rookie who is at his peak, and Boss Joe personally came down to say that Das is good.

And a basketball player with a comprehensive evaluation of 90 points in my system, who has the strength of an NBA star.

Hanamichi wanted to ask Coach Landon Malone, have you ever seen a star encounter the [Rookie Wall]?

Das also assisted 13, saying that the [Rookie Wall] still needs to be hit? Isn't it broken by a poke?

The reactions of Hanamichi and Das actually eased Coach Malone's heart..

That's right! Landon Malone thinks these two rookies are a little immature!

You said you took advantage of this to act cool, after all, the NBA has always had this custom!

If you don't believe me, ask [Bird] ~ 13 King ~ Larry Bird!

But I didn't ask you to act cool that much!

I don't care if a 50-year-old man like me can't stand it! This is all later.

At present, although Coach Malone's answer did not satisfy the reporter, it was a positive answer.

Then other reporters also asked questions, some asked Coach Malone, some asked Das, and some asked about flower path.

It is worth noting that a reporter from Minnesota asked Coach Malone maliciously:

"In this game, both of your rookies played for more than 40 minutes each. Does it mean that you have overtrained the rookies?"

Landon Malone is an old hand, and this question certainly does not stump him. He smiled and said:

"This is a good question. Not only me, but also the Timberwolves' head coach has put more effort into using and training KG in this game. I think you can ask the person concerned about his feelings!"

Without waiting for Das to speak, Hanamichi took the microphone and said:

"In fact, this is my personal willful request, and it can be regarded as a tacit competition between our 5th, 6th, and 7th picks!"

"That is to see who among us is the most physically [sustainable] among the 95th rookies..."

After saying that, Hanamichi looked at Das like the funny expression in the emoji package of later generations.

Das smiled and looked at the position of KG who was absent from the press conference!

There is no doubt that the winner has been decided.

Das felt that at least after a fierce game, he and Hanamichi still sat here, but KG didn't come!

Hehe! It's enough to explain some problems!

Sure enough, in the newspaper the next day, there was a big news headline about Hanamichi's so-called [95th Rookies Competing].

Then followed a series of things like [Young Wolf Short], [On the Least Endurance Man in the 95th Class], [Surprise! The 95th Rookie with the Worst Physical Fitness Was Him] and became popular in various tabloids!

Even ESPN opened a special talk show and invited Bill Walton to analyze it carefully. It is said that the ratings are not bad!

This group of 95th rookies started competing from the first game of the regular season!

No. 1 pick Joe Smith scored 17 points and 8 rebounds in the first game;

No. 2 pick Antonio McDyess scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks in the first game.

In addition, KG, Das and Hanamichi played for more than 40 minutes and performed well.

These five people can be said to be the best on the rookie list.

Huadao looked around and didn't expect that the biggest enemy was in his own team!

No more talking, Das, I'll take you to eat some dumplings, play some games... ahem... play some games in Chinatown, and give me the [Best Rookie]!

Das took one alcoholic drink after another and ate the steaming dumplings with it, saying vaguely:

Brother! Can you give this thing up?

Ask KG if he agrees, I'm afraid you can't handle it alone!

Hua Dao picked up a glass of juice and clinked it with Da Si, saying:

"Believe me~ I can do it! It's just hard work!"

"Besides, with your help, can't we win the best rookie award?"

Da Si drank it in one gulp and said vaguely:

"Thank you for not abandoning me, dumplings and..., I am willing to help you!"

"Brother! Don't worry, we are a team of two, and we are invincible!"

"Just this dumpling soup, can you give me some more! This soup is delicious."

Hua Dao thought darkly:

"Isn't it delicious! This is an alcoholic beverage!"

An hour later, Hua Dao looked at Da Si who was completely drunk, and helped him back to his villa!

"Done!"

If Canada's drinking age limit is 19 years old, Hua Dao has not reached it yet!

Today's meal is not in Chinatown!

Go, Hua Dao has to go to the local bar and entertainment venue to treat Da Si to a good time!

But the result was not bad. While the two brothers bonded, they also finalized the winner of this season's best rookie!

What? You have already finalized the winner of the best rookie. Why?

Hanamichi said that even the original best rookie of the season admitted it to me, but it still cannot be considered a final winner!

It has nothing to do with the other players, right, Damon!

Damon Stoudemire: "ZZz...(¦3ꇤ[▓▓]"
