The Trail Blazers' construction this summer has been quite successful. The addition of Garnett and Mo Williams has made all media experts believe that the Trail Blazers in the new season will most likely be even stronger than last season.
However, no matter how optimistic the outside world was, they never expected that this time the Trail Blazers would be so strong that they would win 13 consecutive games at the start of the season...
After suffering a two-game losing streak not long ago, other teams were "joyed" not long after. The Trail Blazers regained their place in the Rose Garden Arena and tortured the Warriors severely.
Warriors leader Stephen Curry, who averaged 37 points per game in the previous two days, lost his magic when he arrived at the Portland Rose Garden Arena. In the game against the Trail Blazers, Curry played 41 minutes and made only 5 of 23 shots, scoring 12 points and 7 assists...
Ever since, it was the media’s turn in Portland to start “joyfully”…
At this moment, Nel Orsi said: "Ahem, stand down, I'm going to start pretending to be 13!"
Just kidding, the outside world is highly praising this year's Trail Blazers for their offseason reinforcement work. But who is the most tired during the offseason?
Needless to say?
It must be him, the general manager of the Trail Blazers, who is the most tired!
"Nell Orsi will most likely be the best general manager this season!" 》
"The Nets management should learn more from the Trail Blazers, the ball is not dropped like this!" 》
"Behind the evolution of the pioneers, a hot man is indispensable!" 》
The huge sensation brought to the outside world by the 13-game winning streak is finally brewing. The players and coaching staff have received high praise, but the biggest praise has to go to Trail Blazers general manager Nel Orsi.
Having said that, one's own family knows their own affairs. Others don’t know the inside story, so Nel Orsi doesn’t know?
For several important rotations of the team this season, except for the signing of Mo Williams, which is his own credit, the rest of Kevin Garnett was done by Wang Zelin personally. And Beverley, who has performed well recently, is actually a special Ristotz hit the nail on the head.
Therefore, when he knew that the outside world had given him high praise, he was completely confused at first, but then...
Ahem, he showed some good intentions, but he had the nerve to refuse. At worst, he vaguely revealed the inside story of Garnett joining Portland in an interview with the media.
Later, the media learned through various channels that Garnett, a strong supporter, had just joined the Trail Blazers after Wang Zelin personally persuaded him!
This season, Garnett came off the bench for 22 minutes and produced a steady output of 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1 block. He was about to become the 6th Man of the Year award forever...
Maybe Garnett never thought that after coming to Portland, he would most likely open up a path that he had never imagined in his career.
He has indeed never won the 6th Man of the Year award!
Under such circumstances, the media immediately switched their firepower and praised Wang Zelin again.
Such a dramatic scene made countless people talk about it.
so……
"Mr. Prokhorov, Nel Orsi's contract will expire in one year. At that time, you can consider signing him to the Nets."
This was said by Buckley, and it was in line with his usual big-mouthed persona. Although it was full of anger, it was enough to see the outside world's views on this matter.
The so-called Mr. Prokhorov is the rich Russian owner of the Nets, whose full name is Mikhail Prokhorov.
"Hey, Charles, I think you made the wrong choice. You should let Wang, the boss of the Nets, retire as the general manager, haha!"
Barkley had already spoken, but Kenny Smith, a good partner, could only fall behind and tweeted Aite said.
The Nets' record this year is really bad. They spend the league's top salary, but in the end they may not even make the playoffs.
At this time, not only the team's general manager Billy King, but also the team's head coach Jason Kidd, who just took office today, was a little unable to sit still. The two of them still wanted to keep their jobs.
Amid the back-and-forth banter and even weird remarks from media experts, Nets boss Prokhorov couldn't sit still and launched into a fierce criticism in the Nets general manager's office.
It is a recognized fact that Russian tycoons are extremely rich, but this does not mean that they like to be taken advantage of.
Even though the Nets have one less Kevin Garnett than in their original history, they still have four players with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars.
Among them, Joe's annual salary is the highest at 21.46 million yuan, followed closely by De Xiaopang with an annual salary of 18.68 million yuan, Paul Pierce's salary is 15.33 million yuan, and Lopez's salary is also 14.69 million yuan. The "Big Four" add up to a total of 69.96 million yuan, which is almost as much as the total salary of the entire Trail Blazers team.
Counting Terry at 5.22 million, Teletovich at 3.22 million, Sean Brooks at 1.21 million, and the No. 22 rookie just selected by the Nets...
Forget it, anyway, the Nets' severe economic situation will be difficult to alleviate in the next few years. They have used their actions to explain what it means to sacrifice the future for the present.
During the offseason, Nets owner Prokhorov stated that money is not an issue and he is willing to pay the luxury tax as long as he can win a championship.
After the start of the new season, the outside world has paid great attention to the Nets: Is their super luxurious lineup replicating the miracle of the Heat, or is it the old path of the Lakers' F4 on the court?
Now it seems that the development route is the latter.
No one’s money comes from the strong wind, it’s all his hard-earned money!
In the face of Prokhorov's doubts and dissatisfaction, Billie King and Jason Kidd repeatedly stated that the Nets would definitely enter the playoffs no matter what, which finally allowed the irritable boss to calm down a little.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not afraid.
Don't forget, his own boss may be the tallest team owner in the history of the NBA. He is 2.06 meters tall.
In addition, they are from a fighting nation. If their tempers arise, Billie King and Jason Kidd must not be given physical punishment. And they are extremely rich, so what kind of lawyer can’t be hired...
I really can’t afford to offend you!
So who can you blame?
We can only blame the pioneers and the Oriental!
Wang Zelin was completely unaware of the tragic experience of the Nets duo. Of course, even if he knew, it still didn't matter to him.
Why don't you allow others to praise the people you win with your ability?
If you are not convinced, shake it yourself!
Therefore, Wang Zelin was very happy when he saw the media praising him these days.
No one doesn't like to be praised, unless you are stupid...
Amid the praise, the Trail Blazers began their December journey.
On December 2, Wang Zelin will visit Phoenix City with the team and will challenge the Suns away from home.
Actually, calling it a challenge is putting it mildly.
When Stoudemire and Steve Nash left Phoenix one after another, the Phoenix Suns were already in a state of "a downtrodden Phoenix worse than a chicken".
Moreover, this situation will continue for a long time. Starting from 2010, the sun will be the chicken for 11 years...
en, it seems a bit indecent, but this is the cruelest fact.
Just wait patiently, St. Paul will save them in the future!
But then again, after coming to this time and space, the development process of NBA is very different from that of the original air. It is not impossible that Saint Paul can touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals in advance.
After entering the hotel with the team and opening a private room, Wang Zelin took a look at the Suns' record at the pre-game meeting...
What should I say?
It can only be said that as a Suns fan, you must prepare some life-saving pills in advance.
Watching them play is like riding a roller coaster, it’s so exciting! It’s too annoying!
After three years of failure, I don’t know if the Suns got the true inheritance from the Timberwolves, learned the three-point axe, and won two consecutive victories at the beginning of the game!
Although they lost Game 3, the Suns still had losses and wins until early November, with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses.
For a time, countless old Suns fans burst into tears.
Could it be said that the team is going to rise this year?
Could it be said that the door to the playoffs will once again favor the land of Phoenix?
Could it be that……
It turns out that they thought too much.
In mid-to-late November, the Suns suddenly performed a wave of four consecutive kneels, sending a wave of warmth to the Nets, Nuggets and other teams, explaining what it means to sacrifice oneself for others. Naturally, the result was that he fell from the top four in the Western Conference to the tenth in the Western Conference, and then had another two-game winning streak. It was simply...
The Suns have currently played 17 games, one more back-to-back game than the Trail Blazers, with 9 wins and 8 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference and only one step away from the top eight playoff spots.
Generally speaking, the Suns are currently playing well, but the Western Conference is a bit too brutal. If the winning rate cannot exceed 5, there is no way they can hope to squeeze into the top eight. If they switch to the Eastern Conference, the Suns' current record of 9 wins and 8 losses can already rank them sixth in the Eastern Conference.
To evaluate this Suns team: they have some ability to abuse others, but as long as they encounter a team with some hard goods in their hands, they are unable to fight back and can only be beaten passively.
None of the 9 wins was of high value, and most of the opponents were the Hornets, Magic, Kings, and Bobcats.
What's more, tonight they are facing the Trail Blazers, who are all fighting hard.
This resulted in local fans not paying much attention to this game, and the attendance rate was abysmal. Even the media's pre-game warm-up session seemed to be casual and perfunctory, just to deal with the work. After a few simple announcements, nothing more happened.
However, don’t forget that this is the NBA after all!
If you want to judge the NBA's most successful and impressive slogan to date, it is undoubtedly the one released in 2007 "where amazing happers!"
Meaning: the place where miracles are born!
At least, domestic fans are very familiar with this classic slogan. After all, they are all remnants of the past...
On December 2, 2013, the Phoenix Suns, who have always been considered by the outside world to be only capable of torturing food, played the most valuable game since the new season, and it is very likely to become the Suns team in the second decade of the new century. One of the classic battles during the regular season.
The Portland Trail Blazers, ranked first in the Western Conference, were eliminated by the Phoenix Suns, ranked tenth in the Western Conference.
What a shocking upset!
In this game, the Suns launched a counterattack in the third quarter after falling behind in the first half at home.
After three quarters, the Suns took the lead and maintained it until the final buzzer sounded.
Dragic, the "Little Nash" in the media's mouth, played the "real Nash" style tonight, scoring a game-high 31 points and 13 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the Suns' victory.
At the same time, it also caused the Blazers' plan to return to the winning streak to die.
Five players from both sides scored in double figures tonight, but the Suns were undoubtedly the better side. Dragic became the only player to score over 30 points in the game, along with Channing Frye who scored 25 points.
On the other hand, for the Trail Blazers, only Wang Zelin and Aldridge scored 20 points. The former had 24 points and 12 rebounds, and the latter had 20 points and 10 rebounds.
However, there are two other people who performed quite well tonight and have attracted much attention from the outside world and hot discussions among fans. They are the Morris brothers of the Suns.
As a rare combination of brothers in the league who entered the NBA together, the Morris brothers received good attention as soon as they entered the league.
Especially when Marcus Morris joined the Suns last season, and his twin brother Markieff Morris gathered in Phoenix and staged the NBA version of "brothers on the court", the two became more and more famous and gradually became popular. Well known to fans.
Today, Marcus Morris, who has always performed worse than his brother, did not hold back today and scored 15 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
As the elder brother, Markieff Morris is also very impressive. With only one minute more playing time than his younger brother, he scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in 25 minutes on 7-of-13 shooting.
Once again, he proved with his strength that the reason why he is the older brother is not just because he was born 5 minutes earlier than his younger brother Marcus.
After the game, the Morris brothers scored 34 points together and Dragic scored 31 points and 13 assists to lead the Suns to a double-double over the Portland Trail Blazers, which together became the biggest NBA news of the day.
With the Trail Blazers overturning, the happiest teams are the Spurs, Thunder and other teams behind them.
Maybe the Spurs didn't think so much and were just enjoying the fun, but the Thunder were different.
Last season, Du Xiaoshuai led the Thunder to a 4-0 sweep by the Trail Blazers. The scene was extremely embarrassing and made all Thunder fans completely hate the Trail Blazers.
Originally, Thunder fans were still dreaming that their other big brother Westbrook would come back in the new season, so they should work hard to become a regular season champion no matter what.
The result was unexpected, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.
At this time, the team that occupies the top spot in the Western Conference is the Portland Trail Blazers, whom they hate the most. This makes it impossible for Thunder fans to hold back their breath.
After losing to the Warriors on November 26, the Trail Blazers' 13-game winning streak was broken. The first people to jump out to cheer and taunt were Thunder fans.
However, because the Warriors have shown good strength this year and are very likely to occupy a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, their ridicule is not that great.
After losing to the Pacers in the next game, Thunder fans could still maintain their sanity and did not choose to spray nonsense.
Because the Pacers are very likely to win the regular season championship this year, let alone the Trail Blazers, even their own players may not be able to beat the opponent.
Sure enough, the first element of doing great things is tolerance.
It wasn't until December 2nd that the news spread throughout the league that the Trail Blazers were upset by the Suns. Thunder fans couldn't bear it anymore and boarded the big and small accounts one after another, starting to roam the online world.
Therefore, there was a strange scene outside: Suns fans were surprised to find that their team won, but it was the Goose City team that celebrated the most.
Could it be spinach?
That’s not right, Baldhead Hua hasn’t started selling spinach at a cheap price yet!
Or maybe I have met the three great pleasures in life: getting promoted, getting rich, and having sex... ahem, the last one doesn't count.
