Reborn NBA Gao Fushuai

Chapter 21 The Curtain Opens

There was no such thing as two people getting drunk and having sex together. In fact, Avril Lavigne was caught by her manager when she was half drunk. can compromise.

Vujacic and Avril Lavigne left after saying their goodbyes. As for how Avril Lavigne will be punished by the brokerage company, and whether tomorrow's entertainment magazine will feature the live record of the fight between Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff. Vujacic doesn't care about when the small breasts that have entered the dormant period will grow again. All he cares about is his future with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Butler! ?

never mind!Let him figure it out for himself!

It is said that Butler was forced to strip in a nightclub because he had no money to pay the bill. Of course, a more orthodox statement is that assistant coach Brian Shaw felt that the nightclub settled the bill for him at night.

In the following days, it was still training, training, training every day. Vujacic was completely desperate. It seemed that seeing him work so hard, assistant coach Brian Shaw had a better attitude towards him. It was as indifferent as before.

Avril would occasionally call him. When they broke up that day, Avril asked him for his phone number. She probably thought he was a friend who could talk to him, so she called and texted him from time to time.

My friend, Little Spice Girl, is now promoting her new album. She plays trapeze all day long, and sometimes, she will have drinks with Vujacic. Of course Vujacic has no problem with it. As long as Avril Lavigne is in Los Angeles, she will go out for a drink. The relationship between the two is limited to this.

Day by day, finally, the NBA2004/2005 season is about to kick off. This season is the first season after the Charlotte Bobcats joined the NBA. It is also the first season of the reform of the NBA division. The four divisions were split into six, from 7 to 8 teams in each division to a unified 5 teams in each division.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in the Pacific Division. In addition to them, they also have the Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and the city's rival Los Angeles Clippers.

The first opponent of the new season, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

Compared to the Lakers, the Portland Trail Blazers are just a junior. They officially joined the NBA in 1970, but only seven years later, under the leadership of Bill Walton, the Portland Trail Blazers won the first NBA championship in team history. A championship trophy, but this has also become the only championship the Trail Blazers have won so far.

Throughout the 90s, the Trail Blazers continued to fight for the glory of the championship. In the twelve seasons from 1990 to 2002, they reached the playoffs twelve times. In 1999 and 2000, they reached the Western Conference Finals twice in a row, but respectively. Losing to the Spurs and Lakers, everyone understands that winning the Western Conference championship that year means winning the championship trophy.

After two consecutive shock defeats, the Trail Blazers began to disintegrate. The successive departures of Pippen, Sabonis, Wallace and others hurt the team's vitality. By last season, the Trail Blazers could no longer squeeze into the playoffs. In the game, the Trail Blazers like to pile up balloon stars. The big names in the lineup always make people daydream, but the lack of fighting spirit and strong desire to win has become the biggest problem of the Trail Blazers in recent years.

However, as the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, the Blazers still have a lot of capital to rise again in the new season. He also traded for Van Exel, who had played for the Lakers, from the Golden State Warriors. Not only has the team's main lineup been consolidated, but the depth of the bench has also been further strengthened.

The final result depends on whether the head coach Cheeks can knead these players into a whole. The head coach of the Blazers Cheeks can also be called a legend, from the star point guard to the assistant of the 76ers From the coach to today's head coach of the Trail Blazers, Cheeks has been so calm and unhurried along the way.

Before taking over as head coach of the Trail Blazers in 2001, Cheeks won a championship as a player. As an assistant coach of the 76ers, he was respected by Iverson. Cheeks has always walked on the road to success. So at the beginning, many people advised him not to choose to start his coaching career in the Trail Blazers, because everyone knows that the Trail Blazers have too many troubles to deal with.

But Cheeks didn't think so. He took office with confidence. Cheeks' confidence came from his expertise in controlling players' emotions.

You must know that not everyone can get the "answer" Iverson's affirmation. When Iverson won his first and probably only regular season MVP trophy in 2000, he was affectionate. "I'm grateful to Cheeks from the bottom of my heart," he said.

It is true that the Trail Blazers need a united fighting atmosphere more than any other team, so the Trail Blazers invited Cheeks to be the head coach.

But Cheeks has not brought any huge changes to the Trail Blazers in the past few seasons of coaching. Facing such a group of stars surrounded by troubles on and off the court, Cheeks obviously needs more patience.

At present, the biggest star in the Trail Blazers is the power forward, Zach Randolph. The third-year player Randolph last season was definitely a big surprise for the Trail Blazers. In his second year, Randolph averaged 8.4 points per game. Points, 4.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists. Last season, the data jumped to 20.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. The indicators more than doubled.No wonder Randolph won the most improved player award last season with an overwhelming advantage. He will undoubtedly become the core player in the team's reconstruction.

Randolph on the court is undoubtedly a talented player, but he is in constant trouble off the court. This also caused headaches for the Trail Blazers management, who were eager to reshape the team's image. The shooting in the bar, Randolph's misdeeds off the field cannot be tolerated by any team. How to achieve "both internal and external" on the field is a lesson that the young Randolph must face.

The position of the main center in other positions will belong to Ratliff. Ratliff and the Trail Blazers have happily completed their contract extension this summer, and he will continue to rule the Blazers' restricted sky.Last season, he averaged 7.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.61 blocks per game. He is definitely a defensive center. In this regard, he has a lot to do with "Big Ben" Wallace Similarities, he also challenged the position of the center with the size of a power forward, and also deterred the top scorers in the league with his domineering blocks. In the new season, he launched an impact on his fourth block leader in six seasons.

Small forward Raheem, from the day he entered the league, Raheem performed like an All-Star player. During his eight-year career, he averaged 20.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. But since Raheem was exchanged to the Trail Blazers, he has been seriously "acclimatized". Raheem, who was unable to find his position in the team, can only contribute 10 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, which is much lower than own average.However, Randolph's rapid rise made him have to switch to small forward, which also made Raheem clamoring for the Trail Blazers to transfer him all summer, but it never came true. In desperation, Raheem agreed Try the small forward position again in the new season.If Raheem still can't find the feeling, then the transfer is only a matter of time. As long as the price is right, Raheem will still become the target of many teams.

Point guard Stoudemire, the "Little Flying Squirrel" has passed his thirties. In the seven seasons he played for the Trail Blazers, Stoudemire has experienced ups and downs. Now he has left the troubles outside the court In the back of his head, facing the pressure of the contract expiring soon, Stoudemire needs to use a wonderful new season in exchange for a new contract. After all, for a 178cm tall and 31-year-old defender, Stoudemire I had to fight one last time.

Shooting guard Anderson, generally speaking, Anderson is an attacking guard with relatively comprehensive skills. He has considerable strength in both breakthroughs and long-range shots, but his low shooting percentage is seriously inconsistent with his main force status.

This is the first opponent of the new season that the Lakers are about to usher in at the Staples Center. From the perspective of the overall strength of the two teams, it can be said that they are evenly matched. The defensive black hole (Divac and Odom) has no way to fight against the combination of Randolph and Ratliff. Naturally, the Lakers have the advantage on the outside. Kobe alone can sweep the entire front line of the Blazers.

However, these are not what Vujacic cares about. It cannot be said that he lacks a sense of collective honor, because he has never honored or disgraced this group from the beginning. The only thing he cares about now is how much he can get in this game. playing time?
