NBA starts from the strongest 3D

Chapter 43, Trailblazers strike!
2 month 5 number.

One day after defeating the Eagles, the Lakers ushered in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers at home.

I have to say that the recent schedule is very unfriendly to the Lakers.

When the Lakers twin towers were absent, they encountered strong teams one after another.

The Portland Trail Blazers have a record of 25 wins and 18 losses, and they rank fourth in the West.

In the West, if it is a full lineup, the Lakers are the king, and then No.2 to No.8 are about the same strength.

But now the Lakers are not a full lineup, and the strength of the Lakers cannot be separated from the Trail Blazers.

The current Trail Blazers belong to the era of Brandon Roy. Roy entered the league in 06. After entering the NBA, he quickly showed a mature temperament and comprehensive technical style of play. Roy is a player who plays with his brain and dribbles. Excellent, he has a good grasp of the changing direction and breakthrough rhythm, breakthrough layups and mid-range emergency stop jumpers are his main scoring methods.

Roy played 57 games for the Trail Blazers in his rookie season, averaging 35.4 points and 16.8 assists in 4.0 minutes per game, ranking first among all rookies in scoring and assists.

In addition, Roy's other statistics are also outstanding among rookies, averaging 1.18 steals per game ranked second among rookies, 4.4 rebounds ranked seventh among rookies, 83.8% free throw percentage ranked third among rookies, and 37.7% of three-pointers The shooting percentage ranked sixth among rookies, and his 45.6% field goal percentage also ranked sixth among rookies.

Roy was therefore elected as the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 2006-07 season. Roy was selected as the first option with 128 votes out of 127 votes.

This season is Roy's second season. Roy was quickly identified as the core of the Blazers, and his progress is obvious to all. This season, he averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

Roy was phenomenal for a second-year player.

Of course, in addition to Roy, Aldridge cannot be ignored. Aldridge averaged 18 points and 7 rebounds per game this season.

The twin stars of him and Roy, one inside and one outside, are the support for the Blazers to achieve such a good record.

Zhou Hang feels that the current Blazers are very similar to the future Thunder, they are full of vigor now.

The media and fans also feel that the future of the league will be theirs sooner or later.

Zhou Hang is very clear that if there is no injury, this Trail Blazers team may raise their upper limit to the championship level in the future.

However, injuries eventually ruined everything. Oden and Roy, injuries made them wither early.

This is an unfortunate team.

But tonight, the Lakers are even more unfortunate.

Except for Oden, the Blazers have other core rotations, and the Lakers lineup is incomplete, so this game is a bit hanging.

As time went on, the Staples Center filled with fans.

When Zhou Hang was warming up, he scanned the audience, and he could see that the number of fans wearing his No. 10 jersey was increasing.

Although there are not as many fans as No. 24, it is higher than other players.

Zhou Hang is the most discussed star in Los Angeles. Not only ordinary fans come to watch Zhou Hang's game, but many Hollywood movie stars also come here admiringly.

Little Plum Leonardo.

Leonardo was wearing a baseball cap, and when Zhou Hang was warming up for shooting, he greeted Zhou Hang.

After Zhou Hang heard it, he also went over to chat with him, and then took a photo with him.

Sitting next to Li Zi is Jack Nicholson
Nicholson has won three Oscars.

He often comes to watch the game. He has been in Zhou Hang's home games in the last eight games. There is no doubt that he is a super fan of the Lakers.

and Jeffrey Katzenberg

From 1984 to 1994, Katzenberg served as chairman of The Walt Disney Studios.

Katzenberg, who helped found DreamWorks in 1994 and DreamWorks Animation in 2004, also owns season-long Lakers tickets.
These celebrities are actively greeting Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang also did not refuse to expand his circle of contacts in Los Angeles.

Although Zen Master said in the interview that he does not rule out Zhou Hang starting in some games.

But obviously not tonight's game.

With Odom raising the starting lineup, Zen Master hopes that Zhou Hang will stay in the second team to provide the Lakers with stable firepower.

After the game started, the Lakers still showed a disadvantage inside.

Faced with Aldridge's comprehensive style of play, the skier and Odom were a little bit helpless.

Kobe and Roy could face each other on the outside, but Kobe didn't have the oppressive advantage.

Roy is a very smart player. Although he is only in the second grade, he can always catch the flaws of the Lakers lineup and attack them.

Then, with the addition of Blake and Webster on the outside, the Blazers played very easily.

At 3 minutes and 23 seconds into the first quarter, try to request a timeout.

At this time the score was 25 to 15, and the Lakers continued to dig holes in the starting lineup.

Kobe himself was also very speechless. He scored 15 out of 10 points. There was no problem with his personal scoring, but he couldn't drive his teammates.

Barkley said: "We are used to such a scene. After the twin towers were injured, every time the Lakers faced a playoff-level opponent, they were very passive."

Smith said: "But Lakers fans don't have to panic. The Lakers didn't lose against those opponents. The reason why they fell behind was because the Lakers haven't shown their cards. I think it's time."

Barkley said: "Zhou came on the court, and Phil continued to let him play when he was behind. I think Zhou himself is used to this rhythm. Every time he comes on the court, the team needs to rely on him to chase points."

Smith said: "What surprised me was that even though he came up behind, he didn't seem to panic every week. His mentality was great."

sidelines.

The Zen master put his arms around Zhou Hang's shoulders and said in a hopeful voice, "Zhou, it's your turn to show."

Zhou Hang himself was powerless to complain.

It is unexpected that Zen Master Ganqing does not lag behind.

At this time, Zhou Hang also missed the twin towers a little. If the twin towers were there, the fight would be much easier.

Zen master's ability to respond sometimes Zhou Hang didn't know how to say it, and it was like a ghost or a ghost.

Although every time he was sent to fill in the hole, Zhou Hang would not be dissatisfied, because this is also his value in the Lakers.

See Zhou Hang Station to the field.

Fans at Staples Center cheered.

"Zhou, come on!!"

"Rookie, it's up to you."

"Go up and shoot them through with your threes."

"Zhou Hang, you are the most handsome, I want to have a baby with you"

Lakers fans basically know Zhou Hang now, and the cheers for Zhou Hang are even louder than before.

Zhou Hang is now a popular fried chicken in the sports world.

Zhou Hang also waved to the surrounding fans to express his gratitude for their support.

Soon, the game resumed.

The Lakers lineup became Kobe, Zhou Hang, Vujacic, Walton, Odom.

Trail Blazers lineup: Roy, Weaver, Webster, Aldridge, Outlaw.

The two sides carried out some personnel rotation.

Both teams have made their respective star players the main organizing point, and then they are also facing off with small lineups.
