The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 53 Hello, Brandon!Mamba Battle!
The Trail Blazers, who only achieved 21 wins and 61 losses last season, are definitely one of the weakest teams in the league today.

But their history is much more glorious than that of the Timberwolves.

The Portland Trail Blazers, who only joined the NBA in 1970, went straight to the sky under the leadership of Bill Walton in just seven years, and miraculously won the championship in the 1976-1977 season.

Throughout the 20s, the Trail Blazers were a powerful team in the West. They used to have superstars like "Glider" Clyde Drexler.

In the 1990 years from 2002 to 13, the Trail Blazers entered the playoffs every year, and reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years in 1999 and 2000, losing to the final championship Spurs and Lakers respectively.

The Zijin Corps, which defeated the Trail Blazers, took advantage of the opportunity to start their own three-game winning dynasty, while the Trail Blazers were in a slump. After that, they were swept out by the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. It can be said that this team His luck was interrupted by the Lakers.

Since then, the Trail Blazers have been seriously injured, and the team has fallen into a trough. It has not been able to enter the playoffs for 4 consecutive years.During this time, they also gained notoriety like "Portland Jail".

This team doesn't play dirty like Detroit's "Bad Boys Corps"; it doesn't like to fight like "Gangs of New York"; Make this team notorious for a while!

Even though the team's management has been trying to reverse this situation and clear the "recidivists" from the team one by one, it is hard to get back, and it is not a day's work to completely eradicate the bad roots.

The Lakers, who started this season strongly, want to beat such a Trail Blazers team, which is completely easy in people's eyes.

"Hello, Brandon."

Before the start of the game, Zhang Bolong, who was wearing a training uniform, came forward to say hello to Roy, who was also a rookie in 06.

"Hello, Player of the Week - Dragon! I'm already a loyal fan of yours, hahaha."

Roy ran over friendly and gave him a hug.

In his previous life, Roy had always been a player that Zhang Bolong liked and regretted very much. He retired too early and was far from reaching his peak. People have no way of knowing how strong this "yellow mamba" will be.

He is a natural leader who changed the culture of the Portland team. In Zhang Bolong's eyes, in those years in the league, Roy could be ranked third in shooting guard after Kobe and Wade. top spot.

His basketball skills, game character, professional attitude and psychological quality are all top-notch.

Having the same illness as Zhang Bolong, Brandon Roy's knee has been suffering from multiple operations since high school, which also gave birth to a feeling of sympathy between the two.

"I'm looking forward to playing against you, brother, take care of your knees, you are undoubtedly the best shooting guard in this class, and together we will become legends in the 06 class."

"Really? Hahaha, thank you, buddy, I will never let you down, just wait and see."

Roy was a little flattered, because he didn't perform well in the first few games. The atmosphere of the team was a major reason, and his aching left foot was also the problem.

But he didn't think it was a false compliment. He had seen many news reports about Zhang Bolong. A person who always thought he was the strongest would naturally disdain false flattery.

This made him feel good about Zhang Bolong.

After the two exchanged brief greetings, the game was about to start.

"Ding!"

"Your current mission has been updated!"

[Task name: Scratch your lottery ticket! 】

[Mission description: "Yellow Mamba" Brandon Roy is the most potential shooting guard this year. In your eyes, unrealized potential is like an unscratched lottery. Prove in front of you who is the most powerful rookie this year. 】

[Completion conditions: By the end of the game, the host's score, rebounds, and assists were all higher than Brandon Roy's. 】

[Task Rewards: Ability Points +1, Number of Fans +7500, Primary Injury Potion*1. 】

[Punishment for failure: A random ability value drops by 5 points, and the state lasts for 3 official games. 】

After two games of silence, the system updated Zhang Bolong's current mission again.

"I am a turtle, and all three items are higher than Roy. This is to make me Westbrook."

Zhang Bolong smacked his lips, his eyes glowed with high fighting spirit,

"Today, I will watch my turtle come down from the sky, and give it a large triple pair!"

"Snapped."

Kobe's big hand came up again, "What are you thinking, you need to line up to enter the arena!"

……

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup for this game is center Jamal Magloire, power forward Zach Randolph, small forward Martel Webster, shooting guard Brandon Roy, Point guard Dan Dickau.

The team's starting small forward "KG II" Darius Miles, who was strong last season, underwent minimally invasive knee surgery in November this year and will be sidelined for up to two seasons. The Blazers' veterinary curse remains It's frightening.

The lineup of the Lakers remains unchanged, center "Little Shark" Bynum, power forward "Left-Handed Magician" Odom, small forward "Son of the greatest Trail Blazers player Bill Walton" Jr. Walton, Shooting guard "Black Mamba" Kobe, point guard "Dragon of the East" Zhang Bolong.

It seems that these nicknames are still quite bluffing.

(Little Wharton: Are you polite??)
Two [-]-footers, Bynum and Magloire, stand in the circle ready to jump the ball.

The latter is a former All-Star center and a well-known long-armed man in the league. However, after being pushed out of Milwaukee by Bogut, he has suffered a serious decline in the past two years. Under the impact of the young and strong Shark, this goal is still far away from him The palm goes away.

Bynum easily dialed the basketball, and Zhang Bolong quickly pushed forward after receiving the ball. Di Kao, a small guard, stepped forward and opened his arms and smiled grinningly: "Boy, don't think you will score easily in front of me!"

"Yeah, because I can't even see your face when I'm scoring, you're so fucking small."

Zhang Bolong countered him calmly, but he didn't choose to make a move.

It is an unwritten rule in the league that the first ball of the game is usually handed over to the team leader.

After receiving the pass, Kobe glanced at the basket, and the still immature Roy also paid [-] points of attention.

boom! boom! boom!
Kobe started playing post-up singles. Although he has been playing in the past few games and his desire to attack is not strong, the black mamba can use any method to deal a fatal blow to his opponent.

Like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, Kobe's neck drives his body forward, and then connects a back turn and shoots backwards.

Roy judged Kobe's move correctly and tried to block the shot, but that's all.

Swish!
In the first match between the old and the new Mamba, Volute took the lead and easily scored the ball.

On the Trail Blazers side, the ball was quickly handed over to team leader Randolph.
