But strangely, in the rest of the first quarter.

There was no trouble on both sides, and the game ended so uneventfully.

This made Hua Dao feel helpless!

The Bulls relied on the scoring ability of Joe and the sudden attack of Tony Kukoc, the best sixth man of the year, who was an important substitute for Joe, to score 23 points in the first quarter.

The Raptors mainly relied on Hua Dao's scoring ability and containment ability in the interior to help the team lead the Bulls by 29 points.

Among them, Hua Dao scored 15 points in the first quarter.

But the most noteworthy thing is that Rodman was suppressed by Hua Dao and "only" grabbed 4 rebounds in the first quarter!

However, surprisingly, during the break after the first quarter, no one on the Bulls mentioned rebounds.

No one dared to tease [Huada Chong].

Only Phil Jackson emphasized at the end:

Pay attention to the overall coordination and defense of the team~limit the opponent's scoring!

Then, nothing happened...

It seemed that no one noticed the rebounding problem, let alone blame Rodman!

Halfway through the second quarter, the Bulls replaced their main players.

Then Toni Kukoc and Rodman attacked and defended, leading the substitute lineup on the court to grab points.

Seeing this, Raptors coach Malone also replaced Das, leaving Hanamichi alone to lead the team!

After all, Das, as the [rhythm regulator] of the entire game, had to deal with the Bulls' strong outside line group, so he naturally had to pay special attention to the issue of allocating physical strength.

And Hanamichi, this [physical freak], was already familiar to coach Landon Malone and his teammates!

The situation on the court suddenly changed at this time.

On the Raptors side, Hanamichi was still very aggressive and active as always.

But he also slightly controlled the frequency of strong attacks, passed the ball out at the right time, and gave his teammates more opportunities to shoot.

After all, there is a "wrestling match" to be played later!

The substitutes of the Raptors were also very competitive, and they could basically shoot and score when they had an open opportunity.

For example, Doug Christie, the point guard who replaced Das, made 3 of 3 open three-pointers, giving Huadao 3 assists!

As for the missed shots, although Huadao was not deliberately brushing up the rebounding data.

But halfway through the second quarter, Huadao had already grabbed 10 rebounds.

Rodman was very annoyed. The rookie in front of him was not only good at offense.

He was not inferior to him in rebounding, which he was proud of.

Especially with his height, wingspan and jumping ability, which were better than his.

This led to Rodman's rebounding being suppressed by him!

You know, rebounding is the foundation of his pride (slippery)!

(Rodman once refused to participate in the shooting training of the Bulls on the grounds of observing the pattern of rebounds after his teammates shot! Unexpectedly, Joe agreed)

Rodman once grabbed 34 rebounds in a single game.

So grabbing 20+ rebounds in an ordinary game is not a common occurrence for Rodman, but at least it is not uncommon!

(18.7 per game in 1992; 18.3 per game in 1993; 17.3 per game in 1994; 16.8 per game in 1995)

And the second quarter of this game was about to end, and he barely grabbed 6 rebounds!

"Let's settle the new and old grudges together!"

The anger has burned from Rodman's eyebrows to his hair!

On the court, Rodman's red hair painted with bright hair cream became more and more dazzling after being soaked in sweat.

When the two red heads collided, there was a crisp sound: "Bang!"

However, at this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Rodman, who was originally focused on defense, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the basketball.

His goal was clear - to grab the crucial rebound.

At the same time, Hanamichi was also concentrating on grabbing the rebound.

Both of them were fully committed to the game and did not notice each other's movements at all.

Yes, that's right! Hanamichi did run towards the basketball, but Rodman watched Hanamichi go before he came behind.

Just when Hanamichi was about to jump, Rodman suddenly jumped up and tried to grab the rebound.

And Hanamichi met Rodman in the air, and their heads collided fiercely.

"Bang!" accompanied by a crisp collision sound, the audience couldn't help but gasp.

This collision, even the audience said it hurt, but surprisingly, these two guys were like nothing happened!

TheyIt seems that he is not affected at all and can even continue the game.

"Damn! So stubborn~"

The muscular man in Salt Lake City~Karl Malone slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Good fellow, you are waiting here!"

"Two stubborn guys!"

John Stockton, who was sitting next to him, grinned and shouted:

"Take your dirty hands away~ I have told you so many times, if you want to slap, slap your own legs!"

Karl Malone took his right hand away without caring, put his arm around John Stockton's shoulder and said:

"Hehe! Sorry, I'm used to it!"

"But the most exciting moment is finally coming next. !"

"I knew that [Hua Da Chong] wouldn't be so honest!"

"But this Asian guy's head is pretty hard, but I don't know how he is in other aspects!"

"I really wish I could lend him my [Iron Elbow]!"

John Stockton looked at the big slap mark on his thigh, and wanted to cry but couldn't:

"Is this the reason why you called me to watch the live broadcast of [Good Stuff]?"

...

On the court, Hanamichi and Rodman continued the game tacitly, without any dispute over the rebound just now.

The rebound was finally caught by Hanamichi, and he reluctantly threw it to Tracy Murray.

"Damn, it's a good thing I turned the angle, otherwise my head would have been split!"

"No~ I can't rub it!"

Hanachi cursed in his heart, but he looked like nothing happened.

Little did he know that Rodman on the opposite side was also complaining:

"This kid's forehead is really hard, has he hit the rebound and practiced headbutts like me?"

...
