The game with the Knicks started soon, and the starting lineups of both teams were as expected by the outside world.

The starting five of the Trail Blazers were the same as in the first game, and the Suns sent out a lineup with [Gorilla] Ewing as the core.

Both teams have played a game each, the difference is that the Raptors ushered in their first victory, while the Knicks ended up losing.

The game started. Because this time the game was on Saturday, Haruko and [Sakuragi Army] also took time to come to Tianhong Stadium to cheer for Hanamichi!

When the Knicks' starting center [Gorilla] Ewing came on the stage, PDD, no, Takamiya, who was eating potato chips in the audience, suddenly looked at Haruko with a shocked face, pointed at Ewing and said:

"Haruko, do you have a brother who is stranded in the United States?"

Mito Yohei also looked at him again and again in surprise, and finally determined that except for the different skin color, the other appearances were 7 points similar to Akagi.

It was simply a bigger and stronger version of Akagi.

Noma covered his mouth and laughed:

"Maybe Akagi and Maki Shinichi went surfing too much, so they got tanned like this!"

"Hahahahahaha..." ×4

Akagi Haruko was speechless and said:

"No wonder Hanamichi asked us to come to this game today, so this is the case!"

"But that No. 33 Ewing is very powerful!"

"His status and strength in the NBA are like my brother's in Kanagawa Prefecture."

"Oh? So Hanamichi is very dangerous?"

"Hahaha..."

Yohei suddenly took out a small trumpet, fireworks, and shredded paper flowers from somewhere and distributed them to Takamiya, Ohkusu, and Noma.

Then he said excitedly:

"Since Hanamichi graduated from high school, we have hardly used these things! I brought them here this time too!"

"Hahaha, brothers, we finally have something to do!"

"Haamichi, you have to work hard and don't lose to the [Gorilla]!"

"Don't make a fool of yourself!"

"Don't worry, even if you are beaten by the [Gorilla] once, we won't help you..."

"Ding, thank the host for being ridiculed by the [Sakuragi Army], and increase the host's physical strength by 10% in this game!"

Haamichi smiled, then made an OK gesture to them, and stood in the center circle to jump the ball.

The Knicks' starting lineup is:

Center No. 33 ~ Ewing (213cm, 109kg);

Small forward No. 14 ~ Anthony Mason Jr. (203cm, 113kg);

Point guard No. 11 ~ Derek Harper (193cm, 84kg);

Shooting guard No. 9 ~ John Starks (196cm, 82kg);

And power forward No. 34, the bad guy who won the NBA All-Defensive First Team two years ago ~ Charles Oakley (206cm, 102kg).

The starting lineup of the Raptors is:

Center No. 9 ~ Sharon White (211cm, 118kg);

Power forward No. 10 ~ Hanamichi (214cm, 113kg);

Shooting guard No. 35 ~ Tracy Murray (201cm, 102kg);

Small forward No. 30 ~ Oliver Miller (206cm, 127kg);

Point guard No. 20 ~ Damon Stoudemire (178cm, 78kg).

From the perspective of the starting strength on paper, the Knicks are naturally better than the Raptors. After all, the team has the superstar Ewing who averaged "24+11" last season and ranked fourth in the MVP list.

(But who can understand the feeling of the best lineup being occupied by the No. 1 MVP [Admiral], No. 2 MVP [Shark], and No. 5 MVP [Dream])

In addition, the Knicks' power forward, Charles Oakley, known as the "bad guy", has a tough and fierce style of play, fighting for every inch of land in the restricted area, and just won the honor of "Best Defensive First Team" last year.

On the Raptors side, the core 2 newcomers, the starting center is still a sophomore, which can be regarded as a half-newcomer! ! !

No wonder ESPN predicted that the Raptors would be eaten by the Knicks!

Just the one and a half newcomers in the Raptors' interior, against Ewing + Oakley! Even an NBA layman knows what the result will be!

On the basketball court of Tianhong Sports Center, in addition to the sweat of the players, there must be something else!

"Beep!" With the referee's whistle, the game began!

Hanamichi defeated Ewing without a doubt in the jump ball.

After all, Hanamichi's height and wingspan are a little taller than Ewing's.

Especially in terms of jumping and reaction, he is better than the 33-year-old center Ewing!

So this time, HanamichiUndisputedly defeated Ewing.

But this is all commonplace. In fact, in this era of jump balls, each team will send the best height and wingspan instead of some spring men.

So when Ewing saw Hanamichi, whose height and wingspan were almost the same as his, he was mentally prepared.

Das controlled the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

After all the players of the Raptors were in place, Das started to attack.

In this game, two of the Raptors' starting players weighed around 120kg or even higher, just to deal with the Knicks' strong inside line.

As for Hanamichi, coach Malone issued an order, that is, to grab points with Das!

After finding out the physical fitness of Hanamichi and Das, how could Landon Malone, who was eager to achieve results, miss the opportunity to make money!

Since these two newcomers are so useful and actively ask to be used, Malone, as the head coach, will certainly satisfy them!

In this game, in addition to Haruko and Mito Yohei, there was another special audience member with yellow skin, and he was Comrade Zhang Heli, who is familiar to everyone! Zhang Heli came to the United States even before Hanamichi. In 1988, he came to the United States with his wife who was studying at the University of Chicago, and worked as a trainer for the men's basketball team of the University of Chicago. In 1991, he was hired as a staff member in the Finance Office of the University of Chicago. Comrade Zhang Heli's purpose of coming to the United States is the same as Hanamichi, both to continue to develop his basketball career in the United States, of course, the basketball team coaching career! Unfortunately, in the sports world in the United States, Comrade Zhang Heli's resume is clean and has no reputation at all. Even though Comrade Zhang Heli's three aunts in the United States are all doctoral professors, they can't provide much help in the sports world. He has resigned for more than a year now and is preparing to return to China to prepare for the next basketball plan~ basketball commentary work! Just before returning home, the whole Chicago where Comrade Zhang Heli was located was celebrating the return of their basketball god, and when they defeated the defending champion Mosaic team in the first game of this season.

Only when he noticed the news that the Raptors defeated the Timberwolves in the sports daily did he realize that there was still a basketball player of Huajia nationality in the NBA playing in the United States!

Although Comrade Zhang Heli was very reluctant to give up his career as a player, his years of miscellaneous career had made him realize that it was time to give up the job of a basketball player.

But he was still very reluctant, unwilling to leave the United States in such a humiliated way.

And it happened that at this time, he saw a glimmer of business opportunity in Huadao for himself to stay in the United States!

That's right, the former national team power forward discovered the hidden value of Huadao. In order to confirm his thoughts, he postponed his plan to return to China, bought a flight ticket to Toronto and today's ticket to watch the game live!

Seeing Huadao win the jump ball, he unconsciously shouted out the words that are familiar to later generations:

"Yes, this ball is reasonable! This is how he should be dealt with..."
