"AD, the only person who can stop that guy is you!"

He looked at Coach Gentry who was feeding him chicken soup with thick eyebrows, then looked at the second-place championship banner that had just been raised in the Rose Garden Arena and nodded fiercely.

As a leader, it is indeed time for him to stand up!

After the timeout, the Pelicans made adjustments and replaced Evans with Ryan Anderson.

But to be honest, after the thick eyebrows switched to defend Zhou Si, Zhou Si really didn't score, and instead assisted his teammates.

It's not that he is afraid of thick eyebrows' defense, but Zhou Si thinks that it's enough to keep the fans entertained for a while. He has not forgotten his mission this season.

You have to let your teammates play happily!

How to make teammates happy?

Assist.

After replacing Anderson, the Pelicans' offensive firepower decreased instead of increasing, but their defense...

"Anderson didn't delay again. Lillard took the three-point shot that Zhou assisted and scored again!"

exclaimed Kenny Smith.

After only playing for 8 minutes, Lillard has already hit 3 three-pointers and 1 mid-range shot with Zhou Si's pass!

Other teammates also scored, and at this time, Zhou Si's assists had reached 7!

In eight minutes, he scored 7 points, 7 assists, 2 offensive rebounds, 1 steal and 1 shot on 3-of-3 shooting.

Zhou Si completely dominated the court.

After looking at the dazzling "13:31" on the scoreboard, Gentry exhaled slowly on the sidelines.

?Are you still allowed to play the game well?

The first quarter ended like this, how do you want us to play?

"AD, he is shorter than you and has a lower center of gravity than you, so don't worry about trying to steal him.

Blocking shots is not because your offensive skills are not good, but because you were interfered by Millsap and he sneak attacked you.

So, you have to believe in yourself.

In the future, you will definitely be better than him!"

On the bench, Gentry looked at Nong Mei and kept feeding him chicken soup to build up his confidence.

This is the thigh of their Pelicans, and they cannot be left with a psychological shadow.

"Haha, the people at ESPN are going to have a headache.

You talk about good eye defense, but you talk about low shooting percentage?

Davis, who is defensive, doubts his life, and his shooting rate is 100%!

Zhou is slapping ESPN in the face!"

Buckley gloated.

"But ESPN is right about one thing. Zhou really doesn't rebound much this season."

Kenny Smith thought for a while and said.

"In my opinion, Zhou is creating opportunities for his teammates. He has always been very active in blocking positions. Otherwise, how could he have scored two frontcourt rebounds?"

Buckley said with an "I've seen through it all" expression.

On the bench, watching Lillard make various emergency stops and pull-up three-pointers, Zhou Si gave pointers to his eldest nephew.

"You can also practice three-pointers. Although it is difficult to reach Damien's level, occasionally shooting three-pointers will make the opponent defend further outside, which will be very helpful for your breakthrough."

The eldest nephew nodded thoughtfully.

He can't play too much this season, he just comes to watch and learn more.

Although Zhou Si came off the field and Brother Big Eyebrow began to dominate the inside, they still failed to catch up with the score.

Because the Trail Blazers are full of morale today, especially Lillard, who is holding back his energy to prove that he is not a softie, and is frequently firing from the outside!

By the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers had led by as many as 23 points at 41:18!

Although this kind of score difference was achieved last season, the audience at the scene had a certain feeling.

The team seems to be getting stronger!

During the break, Noel glanced at Zhou Si in the opposite corner.

Before the game, he and Zhou Si said that they would compete for the championship this season, but after this game, he thought it was better to level up first!

After the start of the second quarter, Brother Nongmei played very hard, but the harder he worked, the more desperate he became!

Didn't ESPN say that the Trail Blazers are no longer good?

Why is it still so strong?

ESPN got me wrong!

In the end, the Trail Blazers widened the point difference to more than 30 points in the three quarters of their home opener, beating the Pelicans 125-98 and getting a good start to the season.

Mileage sad?

nonexistent!

In this opening game, Lillard scored 9 three-pointers and scored a team-high 41 points, plus 3 rebounds and 12 assists. Courtney Lee had 14 points and 2 steals, and Millsap had 13 points and 12 rebounds.

Zhou Si made 11 of 12 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and efficiently scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 13 assists.

This data is very average for Zhou Si, even a little "ugly".

But it can be seen from the game that scoring is as simple as eating and drinking for Zhou Si.

Except for the three consecutive hits in the opening game, Zhou Si's scoring later was basically when the Pelicans wanted to gain momentum!

Davis was so uncomfortable not only physically, but also psychologically.

In this game, he scored 44 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks, a beast-level figure.

However, it can only serve as a backdrop for the pioneers.

"Ding!"

Thick eyebrows apply to join the empty cutting group!

…

In an interview after the game, the person who was most emotional was not his nephew or rookie Josh Richardson, but McGrady.

Originally, he thought it would take at least a fierce battle to win the Pelicans, but he never thought that the Pelicans would be defeated in the first quarter.

"The Trail Blazers are the best team I've ever been on, and I can't wait to receive my championship ring here next year."

McGrady made no secret of his desire to win.

At his level, he can see everything.

Moreover, in the fourth quarter today, his old arms and legs came on the field and were severely beaten by 8 points, okay?

In his opinion, he also sweated for the Blazers' victory!

Although... 0 for 3 shots and no points...

…

"Brother Zhou, ESPN has been scolded miserably!"

The eldest nephew looked at his cell phone and said to Zhou Sid happily.

"Ignore them!

There are too many immoral people in the media today.”

Zhou Si waved his hand nonchalantly and continued to practice more turning and fadeaway jump shots.

"boom!"

After taking a quick look, the eldest nephew quickly looked back at his phone.

This posture is so cool, why can’t I get it in?

In fact, Zhou Si's turnaround fadeaway jumper has some accuracy, but it still misses more often than it does.

"boom!"

"Whoa!"

"boom!"

Phew~

Zhou Si couldn't help but let out a breath...

I remember that I used to be a little more accurate when it came to turning around and shooting fade away jumpers. Ever since I was taught by Kobe...

Zhou Si shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind.
