Chapter 130: Well done!

"Our deal has produced positive chemistry. Chauncey Billups is strong and has a good defense. It is the puzzle we need. Although veteran Sam Mitchell is 38 years old, he has rich experience in the field and playoff experience. Our team has more young players. He helps our new players adapt to the game better. It is the puzzle we need, including Loren Woods. He is also a powerful supplement to our bench. With their joining, I believe our strength is stronger and we are not afraid of any opponents!"

"Michael's injury has had a certain impact on us, but the psychological impact is even greater. In fact, the impact is not as great as imagined. We still have competitive strength and we still have the advantage in the competition for playoffs."

"Our strength is not bad. In the first few games, we just hadn't adjusted our mentality yet and had not gotten rid of the psychological impact of Michael's absence. (, read it and read it)"

"Once we get rid of the psychological shadow of Michael's absence, I believe we are still very strong and still invincible."

Although Jason Kidd led the Nets to launch a fierce counterattack, Sam Mitchell's wonderful performance turned their counterattack into a joke. Of course, in terms of data, Sam Mitchell only scored a steal and scored 2 points, but in that moment when he was chased fiercely, his wonderful performance was the key to the Wizards' turnaround of the disadvantage.

A veteran is a veteran. Even if he is too old to score, he can still help you through other forms in the game. This is why many head coaches in the playoffs allow veterans to start more.

The media is raised by bitches, and give them a little sunshine and shine. After the Wizards beat the Nets, public opinion completely reversed, and various media were shouting about the Wizards' power! Long live the Wizards!

There are columnists shouting: The Wizards have completed a puzzle after the group, and they have reason to become strong contenders for the championship.

Some so-called experts are constantly hacking Michael Jordan: Michael Jordan's existence hinders the Wizards' progress. Jordan occupies a large number of mobile phone opportunities in each game, which makes the Wizards' young players unable to get the chance to play. In this way, they suddenly lose Michael Jordan, and the Wizards feel like they have fallen into hell.

Looking at the so-called experts' comments in the newspapers over and over again, I felt extremely disgusted.

Christian Letterner leisurely tasted the coffee provided on the plane next to me.

"Don't read it, the most pertinent sentence in their comments is that Michael Jordan missed the game due to injury, and the rest were a bunch of shit!" Christian Letterner looked disdainful.

"However, you are sad enough, you were actually disqualified from the selection of the best rookie!" Christian Letterner looked regretful.

"Haha, it's okay, it's not the O'Brien Cup!" I forced myself to answer with a smile.

David Stern announced last night that I had cancelled my Best Rookie selection in view of my two consecutive fights. I also set a record, and rookies cannot participate in Best Rookie selection. He also stipulated that the Best Rookie must not only perform best on the field, but also perform best on the field. Journalists jokingly call this rule Brown's new rules.

Now in the selection of Best Rookie, I have slowly caught up, only behind Paul Gasol. Now my name is directly removed from the long list. I feel a little sad, but I can't help it. David Stern has begun to start the campaign to correct the situation, and I am just his first goal.

Oregon is close to Washington State and it takes only half an hour to fly to Portland, where the Trail Blazers are located. Portland is the famous city of roses. The warm climate makes roses bloom for most of the year. Now it is spring, and the fragrance of roses wafts throughout the city.

Portland is divided into five districts. The Blazers' home court, Rose Garden Arena, is located in the heart of the Northeast District. The stadium was officially put into use in the fall of 1995. It costs 265 million US dollars to cover an area of ​​265 million square feet. This is a multi-purpose stadium. In addition to basketball games, it can also hold ice hockey, indoor track and field competitions, gymnastics, cowboy competitions, boxing, figure skating, concerts and fairs. As a basketball hall, it can accommodate 19,980 spectators and is the 6th largest stadium in the league.

A total of 650 TVs are set up in the stadium to facilitate fans to grasp the progress of the game at any time. The middle floor of the stadium consists of 70 luxurious suites, each suite can accommodate 22 people. A special sound control device is hung on the top of the stadium. When the game is held, the equipment can reflect the noise emitted by the audience in the stadium back to the stadium, creating a more lively atmosphere. The entire stadium is designed with luxurious facilities and high-tech equipment in one. It is one of the best stadiums in the NBA.

Of course, the most famous thing about the Trail Blazers is not their extremely Rose Garden Arena, but their center spell. The Trail Blazers seem to have an unsolvable grudge with the center. As long as the center they selected by them, no one was tortured by injuries. As early as 1974, the Trail Blazers selected Bill Walton with the No. 1 pick, but this talented white center was quickly knocked down by his injury before showing his strength to the world. His ankle sprained, his wrist fractured, his toes dislocated, and his fingers were dislocated. The endless injuries were as normal as eating. Fortunately, Walton was lucky. In 1977, he briefly overcome the troubles of injuries and led the team to win the first championship in the team's history.

Ten years after picking Bill Walton, the Trail Blazers won another pick. Perhaps God's arrangement was to build the top. The Trail Blazers gave up the basketball god Michael Jordan and stubbornly chose Sam Bowie, who was 216 cm. So the center spell was tragic again. This promising big center forward was injured again after entering the league. From foot bone correction surgery to style big toe spurs to fracture of the right foot tibia, Bowie finally took off the Trail Blazers' robe with crutches.

The almost replicated tragedy happened again in 2007 - the Trail Blazers missed the scoring champion Kevin Durant of the 2009-10 season and selected No. 1 pick Oden. The legendary Oden not only bid farewell to the rookie season directly due to injury, but also completely scrapped after returning from injury in the 2009-10 season. He became a new generation representative of the Trail Blazers center curse.

Of course, even if the Trail Blazers' center is not good, the Portland Trail Blazers are still a strong team in the West. The arrival of Scott Pippen, who is known as the second in the world in the 1999 season, brought hope to the Trail Blazers for the championship. They entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons in 1999 and 2000, but were eliminated by the Spurs and the Lakers respectively. Especially in 2000, they fought with the Lakers for seven games and were once led by 15 points in the seventh game, but were eventually turned around.

As Scott Pippen grows older, the Trail Blazers gradually lose hope of championships, and the position of the team's boss is gradually handed over to the hands of "Roaring Heavenly Lord" Rashid Wallace and "Flying Squirrel" Damon Stadmeier.

Of course, even without the hope of a championship, they are still strong teams in the West. Now they rank sixth in the West with 45 wins and 31 losses. Being able to achieve such good results in the West, where the strong teams are still proves how strong their strength is. Look at the names of those players in their teams-

"Roaring Heavenly Lord" Rashid Wallace, a talented power forward.

"Flying Mouse" Damon Stadameer, although he is not as famous as the one who will be drafted this year, his average of 15 points and 6.5 assists is enough to show his strength

"Bonzi" Bunchi Wells, a guy who later mingled with the Rockets' contract, is strong enough to fight against a power forward like Duncan, which makes it difficult for any shooting guard to defend. This year's average score has reached as much as 17 points.

"Batman" Scottie Pippen, the title of the second person in the world, is enough to tell everything. Although he is old, the old tiger is still a tiger.

"Backfield Rebound King" Davis, this blue-collar center is not famous, but his average frontcourt rebounds per game in his career has reached as many as 3, which is comparable to Rodman. Although the score needs to be improved, his stable contribution of 10+10 to the team in recent seasons can explain everything. This is not a role that is easy to mess with.

On their bench were also sitting such tough characters as "rotten tofu" Zach Randolph, "Bobby Terminator" Ruben Patterson, "Rain Man" Sean Kemp, "The Greatest Little Man" Steve Cole, Lithuanian Sabonis, and Derek Anderson.

It is very difficult to win this game. But this is not the reason why I retreat. When the competition for the playoffs is getting more and more intense, the victory of each game will have a far-reaching impact. You must open your eyes to every game and strive for victory. You will never know if a team will have a few consecutive victories at the last moment and make it into the future. Even if you make it into the playoffs, you must work hard to play every game for your playoff ranking and home advantage.

You can relax a little unless you are so strong that you have won a playoff spot and have no requirements for your teammates in the playoffs.

Obviously, the Wizards are not such a team. He still has to work hard to keep his place in the playoffs. He has not made it to the playoffs for more than ten years. The entire Washington people are eager to see this. Michael Jordan has paved the way for us, as long as we hold on at the last moment. I don’t want me to say again in front of Michael Jordan’s bed: Sorry. I hope I can make him pat my shoulder and say: Good job!

Yes! Just for him to say: Good job!
