Once upon a time, the Portland Trail Blazers were notorious representatives, gloriously called the Prison Team. Fraud, rape, shootings, and almost every type of scandal could find an exemplary representative in the Trail Blazers.

Damon Stoudemire of Little Flying Squirrel was suspected of possessing marijuana and was even publicly tested by the television station. Reuben Patterson, known as Kobe Bryant's terminator, was sexually harassed. In addition, Rasheed Wallace and Bunch Wells even formed an order.

There are two major thorns in the wings of the league and even the referees.

Compared with these people, Zach Randolph and Darius Miles, who are still on the team, are simply younger brothers. Miles is just drinking everywhere without training, and Zach Randolph is just a younger brother.

Occasionally going to a bar to hold a memorial service, speeding on the highway, and going to the police station for a urine test every summer as a routine matter.

The work content of the Portland uniform team in recent years is similar to that of a correctional chaplain in a prison. They are all doing "decriminalization" work. This is why they are obsessed with getting Li Zhen this summer: the Rose Garden is too

We need a good player with a positive image and good character and academics.

Of course, Brandon Roy is also very good now. He has changed the team's temperament to a certain extent. He is leading Portland's young talents to a completely new situation. Although the record is very touching, and Bruce won the Rookie of the Year award

The constant pursuit of awards caused him to lose his momentum in October and November.

Time Warner broadcast the game live throughout California.

Fans are excited, and every Cal fan wants Bruce to have the upper hand in this direct conversation.

But it seems that Bruce and Brandon have a very close relationship.

Their indifferent embrace before the start of the game made the news reported by street tabloids this morning that Bruce Lee had sex with Hilary Duff last night dull.

In fact, Roy and Li Zhen's compliments to each other before the game were even more annoying. Roy claimed that Li Zhen was the most talented and gifted passer he had ever seen. He could discern opportunities from the fog and take advantage of the situation.

The basketball was passed to every open teammate. Li Zhen said that Brandon Roy is a phenomenal rookie, he is on the road to becoming a superstar, and he will be Kobe Bryant's biggest rival in the future.

The mutual compliments diluted the excitement of the competition.

But when the game whistle sounded, the two reserved but paranoid young men immediately changed into fighting postures.

After Andrew Bynum beat Aldridge on a jump ball, Li Zhen took over the basketball and headed straight to the frontcourt. Portland point guard Jack tried to block Li Zhen from beyond the three-point line. The 2005 first-rounder

The 22nd pick has a mature and steady style of play, with balanced offense and defense. He can be regarded as a mid-range player in the NBA.

However, the balance can no longer control Li Zhen.

Luke Walton just ran over to provide a cross-screen for Li Zhen, and Bruce's lightning pace had already cut into the paint area as accurately as a scalpel. When Li Zhen came in front of him, Zach Randolph, who weighed nearly 300 pounds, actually

Active Dodge: This guy is known for being lazy in defense, but he didn't expect him to be so lazy.

This gave Li Zhen an easy layup opportunity... Wow!

Li Zhen was confused.

He went there to have an intimate encounter with Randolph.

"If you break in again next time, I won't give you face." When he returned to halftime, Randolph even showed a "let you go" attitude.

This made Li Zhen angry and funny. He thought to himself: If I had known better, I wouldn't have signed my autograph for you.

Looking back, Brandon Roy opened a single, and Maurice Evans tried his best to block him on the wing.

However, Roy only used a few tentative steps to pass Evans completely, and then succeeded in a sudden jump shot: Roy's movements were solid and his skills were complete. Especially the moment of the final shot, it was hard not to

Lenovo Kobe Bryant on the sidelines.

Time Warner's director also cut the camera to Kobe on the sidelines at the right time, and Kobe also pursed his lips and kept nodding.

He quite approves of Roy, and he did not object to the Portland media calling Brandon Roy the Yellow Mamba. If it weren't for Li Zhen's relationship, he would even express his appreciation in public.

It's time to fight again, although Li Zhen really wants to break in and have a good encounter with Zach Randolph to see if he has fallen into trouble recently.

However, when Bynum diligently went to the free throw line as a screen, and quickly slipped down like a deer to get out of Randolph's control, he couldn't help but pass the basketball in. The little shark received the basketball, quickly took off and dunked.

After dunking, he didn't forget to slap his chest with both hands, and then made a domineering gesture.

This caused cheers from the fans in the audience.

Since Bynum repaired his relationship with Li Zhen, his performance has improved visibly.

Sitting in the VIP box, Lakers legendary center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar did not forget to give Sir Bass advice: "When a potential center meets an excellent point guard, his progress will be rapid. Give Andrew three years, he will be under Bruce's guidance."

With his help, he will become a top-three center in the league."

Three years?

Old Bass chewed these words carefully.

Whoosh!

Roy once again hit a difficult jumper. He easily defeated the double attack of Morris and Luke Walton like eating a hamburger. His offense is so natural.

"This guy is as mature as if he has been playing in the NBA for ten years."

Jenny Bass couldn't help but joke next to her father. She could see that her father seemed to be in a bad mood in recent days.

At this time, Jim Buss raised his head and looked at his beloved daughter. Jenny was undoubtedly the most capable of his seven children. Moreover, she also had a close relationship with Phil Jackson, which was of great importance to the future stability of the Lakers.

crucial role.

However, deep down, he does not like Phil Jackson that much. He believes that Jackson is too old and completely unworthy of his daughter who is still beautiful. And: "So, Jackson is still pursuing part of the team's equity?"

"He hopes to serve the team better, which will give him a greater sense of belonging." Jenny was open to the matter: "We should let this famous head coach bind us to our team.

In the car."

Jim Buss on the side was extremely opposed: "He is a careerist. When he was in Chicago, he incited the players to go against the management. If he gets the equity, he will alienate our entire family."

"Be confident, Jim. Do you think Phil Jackson has the ability to influence us? Don't you believe in your father's authority so much?" Jenny asked her brother.

When the Buss family talked about these things semi-publicly, other people in the box, including Kupchak, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and even Magic Johnson, all turned their attention to the court. They didn't want to get involved. This is the emotional intelligence that adults should have.

The game on the court is still going on in an orderly manner.

Bruce's breakthrough ability and organizational talent were clearly demonstrated, and the Blazers' weak defense was cut to pieces by him. Bynum, Odom, and Walton all performed well under his instigation.

The team also established a small lead.

"It seems that we haven't played the triangle offense for a while now." Magic tried to break the silence after the Buss family fell into silence for a long time: "Bruce's organizational talent is still underestimated. He is not a system player, but a system player.

players.”

When Jim Bass heard this, he couldn't help but said sourly: "So...does this mean we don't need a head coach in the future?"

"..."

The VIP box was silent again, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

The senior management of every team has such intrigues, just like the workplace where they compete with each other.

However, these back and forth will not affect anything, because it is always the boss who controls the direction of the team. Analyzing it with the mentality of Chinese emperors, he would like to have a fight below.

But tonight, Jerry Buss seemed a little distracted. He rubbed his eyebrows. Then he stood up and decided to go to the toilet.

When he got up, Li Zhen, who had played 6 minutes in the first quarter and scored 2 points and 5 assists, returned to the bench. His physical fitness was still an objective factor limiting his playing time.

Judging from the performance in the first six minutes alone, Li Zhen was slightly better. Although Brandon had already scored 9 points, 1 assist and 2 rebounds, he was able to get everything he wanted from the No. 2 position. But... the Trail Blazers were 3 points behind after all.

The game is still going on.

After Li Zhen came off the court, Phil Jackson resumed the triangle offense.

But... in the absence of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers don't have an offensive point that can truly eat up their opponents one-on-one. So, neither fish nor fowl.

Portland soon seized the opportunity and took the lead.

At the same time, Roy also began to switch his role. He frequently instigated offenses and used his unpretentious assists to drive the team's entire offense. Whether it was Aldridge, Zach Randolph, or Webster

, Outlaw Outlaw.

Portland takes on the grandeur of the Young Guards.
Chapter completed!
