After three quarters, the Trail Blazers trailed their opponents by a rare 11 points.

Thanks to Coach Terry's timely adjustment of the lineup, all the main players came out in the final quarter and quickly tied and overtook the score.

But they were able to overtake, and they were a little lucky.

Because a regrettable thing happened in the last quarter. Dirk Nowitzki, the soul of the Mavericks, had to leave the game early due to a right Achilles tendon injury with 5 minutes left before the end of the game.

The retirement of the veteran coach directly affected the mentality of the Mavericks players, so much so that they began to play hard, and even lost the mood for the game, and ultimately lost regrettably.

After a night's rest, on the morning of the 5th, the Trail Blazers did not return to Portland, but took the team's exclusive charter flight to Memphis.

In the sixth game of the new season, they encountered the toughest nut in the league - the Memphis Grizzlies!

Because the Grizzlies are located in a small city, it is often difficult to catch any big fish in the trade market. This summer is also the case. The Grizzlies still have not attracted any strong players and can only make minor repairs.

Fortunately, they retained the core players of the team, and the new season will still be the same group of familiar faces.

Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol...

With this group of guys here, it's enough to guarantee the Grizzlies' fundamentals.

Even in the Wild West, they have the ability to lock in a playoff ticket.

The strongest troublemaker in the league, he deserves the title!

On the night of the 5th, FedEx Arena.

The Trail Blazers and Grizzlies started a battle.

After four quarters of the game, the specific scores are: and.

Entering the final quarter, the Trail Blazers relied on Wang Zelin's unanswerable performance of 18 points, finally defeating the Grizzlies' defensive system.

It was another tough battle. The Trail Blazers finally defeated the Grizzlies by 6 points and won their sixth consecutive victory.

The Grizzlies suffered two consecutive losses, falling to seventh place in the Western Conference and eleventh in the league.

After finally having a day off on the 6th, the Trail Blazers continued their road trip without stopping.

The opponent they encountered this time was not as strong as the Grizzlies, but the geographical advantage was great!

In the seventh game of the new season, the Trail Blazers came to the devil's home court that every rookie player is afraid of - Denver Plateau!

Since Jokic was intercepted by the Trail Blazers, the Nuggets have not waited for their savior and are still in a state of reconstruction.

Logically speaking, even if they have a natural geographical advantage, the Trail Blazers can defeat them with hard power.

But when the Trail Blazers actually visited the Pepsi Center, something unexpected happened.

The entire Nuggets team exploded!

In this game, 6 of them scored in double figures, two of them scored 20, and two of them scored 15.

Youdao beat the master to death with random punches!

The Nuggets relied on multiple players and explosions tonight to lead the Trail Blazers by 7 points at the end of the third quarter.

In the final battle, the Trail Blazers made a flurry and tried to control the game, but the young Nuggets dared to fight hard and clinched the score.

Gallinari even hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the last minute to help the Nuggets draw with the Trail Blazers and the game entered overtime.

In overtime, the Trail Blazers, who have rich experience in competitions, quickly stabilized their mentality. Wang Zelin and Lillard cooperated tacitly. Each of them scored one goal. The Trail Blazers scored 5 points in a row and quickly opened the score.

In contrast, the Nuggets players were still too young after all. Seeing that the score was stretched, they chose a more risky three-pointer, hoping to quickly tie the score or even overtake in this way.

But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make things worse.

With the "Bang! Bang!" two three-pointers, the Trail Blazers took advantage of the situation and launched a quick attack to counterattack.

In the end, the Trail Blazers scored 10 points in overtime, while the Nuggets failed to score a point.

The Trail Blazers successfully defeated the Nuggets in overtime, adding another victory and starting the new season with seven consecutive wins!

While happy, these two thrilling games still served as a wake-up call for the Trail Blazers.

There are no underdogs in the NBA, not to mention they are still in the Wild West!

On the way to defend their title, they are destined to encounter countless stumbling blocks. They must guard against arrogance and impetuosity in order to go further.
