"Welcome to the Great Western Forum Arena. Another night, the exciting game will accompany us. Tonight's game will be extremely eye-catching. Our guests are Portland boys who come from Oregon! Before this game, they have won seven consecutive victories and amazing results, which means they remain unbeaten in the new season. But tonight in Los Angeles, I don't think they will pass the game easily."

Zeke Hearn's voice is still loud and loud. As the voice of the Lakers, he will continue to work here and witness the rise and fall of the team.

Of course, the past two seasons have been painful for the Lakers. In 1987, facing the Boston Celtics with a deep lineup and a healthy lineup, the Lakers, who had been preparing for a season, were defeated by Bird in the critical battle of the King of Heaven and Mountain and eventually lost the championship 2:4.

In 1988, the Celtics suffered a large-scale injury, and Ren Baiyas was unable to support the overall situation. The Green Empire was overthrown by the Detroit Pistons. The Lakers lost the opportunity to avenge the Celtics in the finals.

The Pistons, who gathered with nine players, did not waste any chance. In the sixth game, Isiah Thomas staged a miracle of 25 points in the fourth quarter. Later, Bill Ranbir successfully defended Jabbar's key attack, and Dennis Rodman got a backcourt rebound, proclaiming the Lakers' death.

Los Angeles Lakers are in a very delicate situation after losing the championship for two consecutive years. The Lakers players also feel that in the end, the God of Luck always seems to be not on their side.

Before Bird made that magical shot in 1987, Magic Johnson had just made a small hook on McHale's head, but this could not stop Bird from killing his throat with a sword.

In 1988, Thomas was injured in a single leg and scored 25 points in a row. Jabbar's key goal was disturbed by Ranbir. Lakers players believed that this was a foul. The foul was still the infamous Ranbir, but the referee hesitated for a moment but still did not sound the whistle.

As the saying goes, the Lakers, who have made a concerted effort, declined again, and died three times, failed to win the championship in two years, have arrived in their third year, and their condition does not look so outstanding.

Before the start of the season, Jabbar announced that he would retire after playing this season. The 42-year-old veteran is already the oldest player in league history. Even so, he can still make stable output in the inside and occasionally have a small explosion.

However, with his hair falling out, his contributions were getting smaller and smaller. The team's scoring responsibilities were placed on Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Byron Scott and other outside players.

Magic Johnson officially became the absolute core of the Lakers, and he also began to gradually reach the golden age of point guards, and won his first regular season MVP in 1987.

However, even the always competitive and arrogant Magicians know that in the West, the Blazers' momentum this year is absolutely fierce, and blocking the Blazers at home will be a difficult task.

In the first seven games, the Trail Blazers not only maintained a complete victory, but also averaged 17 points in each game. Its opponents are many strong teams like the Nuggets, but the Trail Blazers with a deep lineup did not give their opponents any chances, and the battles that can be solved in the first half will never be delayed until the third quarter.

Gan Guoyang, the core of the Trail Blazers, performed well. With only 35 minutes of playing time, he averaged 23 points, 16 rebounds, 3.3 steals and 2 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 63%. He was the champions.

Obviously, Gan Guoyang's score is decreasing because the team has many scoring points. Accordingly, Gan Guoyang's assist data has also increased from 1.7 times last year to 2.5 times, which has made great progress. He played more and more casually in the game, and his control of the game and reading ability have reached a new level.

This is something that Johnson, a magician who has won the championship and is a point guard, can understand. He knows that Gan Guoyang has entered the "the-field" realm.

"Hey Gan, how many assists will be taken tonight?" During the warm-up, Johnson walked up to chat with Gan Guoyang. The two have always had a good relationship. Although they are opponents, they admire each other very much.

"If you have a few steals, I will have a few assists, but I bet you can't grab my ball." Gan Guoyang never falls behind when it comes to verbal battles.

"Hahaha, come on, you're really great." Johnson smiled, instead of quarreling with Gan Guoyang, he praised Gan Guoyang for a few words.

This is Magic Johnson. If it were Larry Bird, he would have arguing with Gan Guoyang for the whole game on this topic.

In addition to Magic Johnson, there were also many people on the sidelines saying hello to Gan Guoyang. The first one was Chamberlain and Jacket wearing sunglasses and leather jackets. He now claimed to be the number one fan of Gan Guoyang. The two have known each other for a long time and have endless things to say together.

There is also a bigger fan of Gan Guoyang on the sidelines, that is, the popular music superstar Michael Jackson, who has become popular all over the world.

Michael Jackson was still a black man at this time, wearing a black coat with red edges on it, indicating that he was a supporter of the Trail Blazers.

"Are you okay, Michael, your skin?" Gan Guoyang asked in Michael Jackson's ear on the sidelines.

Recently, Michael Jackson has begun to experience vitiligo. Only a very few people know about this. Gan Guoyang is one of them. Before, Michael Jackson was busy with global concerts and Gan Guoyang was busy with competitions. The two had not been in contact for a while.

So, when Gan Guoyang saw Michael Jackson, he cared about his body.

"Thank you, I'm fine. I'm your fan tonight. Come on, come on." Michael Jackson always seems optimistic.

Of course, if a friend Michael Jackson cheered him up, an old opponent would make things difficult for him. Jack Nicholson sat in a fixed position as usual and sarcastically sarcastically towards Gan Guoyang.

Gan Guoyang was lazy and was a Lakers hardcore, so he gave Nicholson a look of contempt and walked away. After the warm-up, the game was about to begin soon.

"The spotlight has already shone on the players, and the performance is about to begin. Jabbar, who entered the league in 1969, jumped with Gan in the middle circle. When Jabbar entered the league, Gan was only five years old. At that time, he should still be in China and didn't even know what the NBA is."

Actually, if you think about it seriously, the real Gan Guoyang has not been born yet, but he has truly integrated into this time and space, wearing tight shorts on the bright yellow wooden floor, competing with Jabbar for the ball in the air.

"Jabbar won the basketball, and the Lakers' ball rights, and the game began." The 42-year-old Jabbar unexpectedly took the lead in touching the ball, and the Lakers got the offensive power.

"Can you even get a Jabbar? Are you 42 or 24 years old, Gan?" Nicholson would not miss such an opportunity and immediately stood up and shouted at Gan Guoyang.

"**-Temptation-ass! (Fuck your chrysanthemum!)" Gan Guoyang threw a swear word to Nicholson. He had long been used to this kind of verbal conspiracy.

"The Lakers pulled away, Jabbar got the ball from the low post on the left, and he wanted to play Gan single."

The Lakers' strategy for the opening game is very obvious. Taking advantage of Jabbar's physical strength just now, he can quickly play a few inside players. It would be even better if he could make a foul by Gan Guoyang.

Jabbar is old and his physical fitness has declined across the board, but his size will not become shorter, and his skills have reached the point of perfection.

He caught the ball on the left and protected his ball well, preventing Gan Guoyang from drawing his ball. After observing it left and right, he turned around and took a slid step, and shot with his right hand hooked!

"Jabbar hooked up! The ball scored! The ball swung twice on the basket and entered the basket steadily."

Jabbar scored the first goal first, which is a rhythm that all Lakers fans and Lakers opponents are extremely familiar with. The only problem compared with the past is whether Jabbar's performance can continue throughout the game.

However, Nicholson became even more arrogant. Gan Guoyang was unmoved by Nicholson's provocation and devoted himself to the counterattack.

After the team's main control was replaced by Terry Porter and the head coach was Adelman, the Trail Blazers' offensive power increased greatly in the point guard position. The Lakers must send players to defend Porter. Riley knew that Porter's shooting on the outside was much more terrifying than Deluxler.

However, there is bad news for the Lakers in this game. Their main shooting guard, Michael Cooper, missed the game due to injury, and was replaced by Byron Scott. The Lakers' outside defense will inevitably be stretched.

Magic Johnson naturally couldn't defend Porter. His task was to deal with Cauchy. Adelman gave the team a clear task in the first quarter, speeding up the pace, rushing the inside with all his strength, creating pressure on Jabbar.

"Potter passed the ball to Cauchy, and Cauchy took the ball and passed Johnson in one step, facing Jabbar, and dunked directly! A powerful and heavy dunk." Cauchy's ball started very quickly, grabbed a small gap in the Lakers' defense line, and then relied on Gan Guoyang's cover to directly enter the inside.

Jabbar is old and always avoids such balls. Another inside player, Ac Green, was stuck behind Buck Williams, and Cauchy was unblocked in front of him and dunked.

In last year's slam dunk competition, Cauchy participated and Gan Guoyang came to guide him again, but this time Cauchy failed to compete with Jordan and ranked second.

Jabbar was humiliated on the defensive end, but turned around and hit the hook on Gan Guoyang's head again. This time he was on the right side and shot with his left hand.

Lian Po is old and can still make money? Jabbar uses his actions to prove that he is still the powerful Tiangou on the offensive end.
