Play in God's jersey

Chapter 232
The Portland Trail Blazers are a well-known young guard in the league. The core players have a very short playing experience.
Both Brandon Roy and Aldridge were rookies in 2006 and are only juniors this year.
In 2007, the No. [-] pick selected by the Blazers, "The Great" Oden returned from injury after a one-year truce. This season can be regarded as his rookie season, which is very exciting.

This year, the Trail Blazers picked three potential rookies in the draft, Jerry Bayless, Nicola Batum and Rudy Fernandez, and the team is thriving.

Last season, Roy was able to average 19.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. He was selected as an All-Star in the second year of his career.
Aldridge is not bad either, averaging 17.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
This year they waited for "The Great" Oden to return to his position smoothly, which made the fans of the Trail Blazers full of expectations and optimistic about the team's prospects.

You must know that even if Roy and Aldridge scored such good-looking statistics, Trail Blazers fans are still more optimistic about the healthy Oden who can lead the team to glory.

A genius like LeBron James is just a "little emperor", but Oden was a "big emperor" from the very beginning and completed his enthronement.

If it weren't for the fact that the league changed the age of entering the draft after Dwight Howard, maybe Oden would have landed in the NBA in 2005 and would undoubtedly be the No. [-] pick.

In this way, the No. [-] pick in the NBA draft for three consecutive years will be a high school student, which can be said to be a major event.But for the NCAA, it's a bit embarrassing. After all, none of the top picks in the past three years came from the NCAA.

However, if the No. 2002 pick in [-] was not taken away by Yao Ming, but Stoudemire became the No. [-] pick, the NBA would have been the No. [-] pick among high school students for four consecutive times.

Kwame Brown in 2001, Stoudemire in 2002, LeBron James in 2003, Dwight Howard in 2004, in other words, except for Kwame Brown who was hand-picked by Joe Gang, the other There is really no controversy about the three becoming the No. [-] pick.

Of course, Leader Joe has the courage to be the first to select a high school student as the No. [-] pick, and he will continue to have the courage to carry the draft to the end.

Speaking of Oden, even if the talent is as full as LeBron James, Oden is definitely not worse than James in high school, and may even be slightly better.In high school, Oden won all the honors a high school student player can get, and many awards even won consecutively.The most remarkable thing is that he once led the team to 45 consecutive victories, a feat that James failed to achieve.

When he was in college, Oden's dominance at the basket was even more terrifying. In the NCAA finals that year, he broke through Joakim Noah and Al Horford's two insiders, and he did it with one hand.At that time, Oden's right hand had just undergone surgery and hadn't fully recovered, but he gave up his hand and still completely blasted his opponent.In that game, Oden scored 25 points alone, while Noah and Horford combined only scored 26 points, and Oden grabbed only 3 fewer rebounds than the two of them. .

Before the draft, Oden’s side data was also shocking. He was 2.13 meters tall with shoes on, with a wingspan of 2.24 meters, a standing reach of 2.84 meters, a standing jump of 0.81 meters, a run-up jump of 0.86 meters, and running back and forth in the restricted area. 11.67 seconds, and the three-quarter field sprint takes only 3.27 seconds.As a big man, not only is he tall and long, he can run and jump, but his speed and agility are no less than that of a small man.

Among the players who announced their participation in the draft in 2007, Oden and Durant are the peerless twins. This is a bit like James and Anthony in 2003, but it is a little different. In 2003, some people still think that Anthony may become the In 2007, almost no one thought that Durant would surpass Oden to become the No. [-] pick.

Such a player's ability to overwhelm Durant to become the No. [-] pick is undisputed, at least at the time.

Even if Oden can't realize the expected huge potential due to injuries in the future, the management of the Trail Blazers also said in an interview that if they do it all over again, they will still choose Oden.As for whether these words are superficially polite or regretful in the heart, or sincerely thinking like this, no one knows.

Anyway, at this moment, the young Big Three of Oden, Roy and Aldridge led the team to play. Can the old Big Three of the Suns Nash, O'Neal and Stoudemire hold it?
Because of Oden's appearance in this game, which was his first appearance in the NBA, it attracted huge attention. TNT TV even adjusted the live broadcast plan and temporarily adjusted the game to a national live broadcast.

Originally, NBA officials arranged for the Trail Blazers to play against the Lakers in the opening game of the first day of the regular season. Injured, yes, injured again, unable to play against the Lakers, and continued to hang high free cards in the last game against the Spurs, which scared the Blazers fans to their necks It's about to jump out. Could it be that the day lily is cold again, and is it going to be another season of truce?
Fortunately, the Blazers announced Oden's return from injury in this battle. Otherwise, the fans would probably scold the doctors of the Blazers to death. How come one or two of them are hard to recover from injuries in your hands? How come the Suns are old and sick? Can you rejuvenate your second spring?What the hell, the difference between a veterinarian and a genius doctor is so far away that it can affect the fate of a team.

"In the last game, the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Spurs 100-99. The current record is one win and one loss, while the Suns have lost two games in a row since the start of the game. Which team do you think is likely to win this game?" Kenny -Smith asks Barkley.

"In the current state, the morale of the Trail Blazers is even better. Oden's return has also improved the strength of the Trail Blazers. The current play of the Suns is a bit chaotic, and there are problems on both ends of the offense and defense. Terry Bo The defensive system that Te wanted to build did not work, but the previous offensive system was lost. If the Suns continue to play like this, they will be in great trouble." Barkley analyzed.

"That is to say, you are more optimistic that the Trail Blazers will win this game?"

Buckley nodded yes.

"This game will have several rookies on the field. The Trail Blazers have Oden, Jerry Bayless, Nicola Batum and Rudy Fernandez. The Suns have Qianduoduo and Dragic. It is obvious that the Trail Blazers will pay more attention to the cultivation of young players, and it is not easy for the rookies of the Suns to get playing time when the veterans get together. I don’t know if this game is special Will Ray Porter let Qian Duoduo play? His playing time dropped sharply in the last game. It is normal not to get a chance to play in this game. But I still hope he can play in the game. He and Oden are in the paint The duel is also exciting." Kenny Smith was actually a little worried about the bet between himself and Barkley. If Qian Duoduo never got playing time, he would undoubtedly lose the bet. He couldn't help but look at it again. Look at Buckley's huge ass.

It's scary, it's so scary!
