Easily playing against each other will also help in the second game of the back-to-back tomorrow night.

No, by the third quarter, the Eagles themselves collapsed.

The Trail Blazers scored 34 to 24 in the third quarter, leading the Eagles by 22 points 99 to 77, winning by 10 points in a single quarter!

In the last quarter, the Trail Blazers and the Eagles were playing around on the offensive end. The Trail Blazers didn't want to go too far and played casually. The Eagles didn't want to chase points. Fred Jones, the lawless maniac,

Josh Smith, these three players with extremely violent running and jumping abilities, presented a slam dunk show to the fans at the Rose Garden Arena...

The score was 23 to 24 in the final quarter. In the end, Liu Xiu scored 35 points in the third quarter, Randolph had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the third quarter, and Kwame Brown had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks... The Trail Blazers defeated the Eagles 122 to 101.

, won the 40th victory this season, becoming the second team to win 40 games this season before the Pistons!

…

…

In early spring in Portland, the air seems to be humid.

It rains continuously here all day long. People who have lived here for a long time have become accustomed to all this, but when they come back after leaving here for a while, they can't stop complaining.

"Oh, damn, Dale, I have one more reason not to regret leaving here. Although it's cold in Indianapolis, I don't want to shiver while wearing a cotton coat like this."

Although he said this, the tall man who looked like the referee wanted to give him a technical foul still got out of the taxi smoothly.

Another equally tall man smiled, tightened his collar and got out of the car.

The action of tightening the collar was of no use. The water molecules in the air penetrated into the clothes together with the air like magic, making him shiver.

On the second day of the game against the Hawks, February 23, the Trail Blazers will continue to play at home, that is, back-to-back. Tonight’s opponent is the defending champion Pacers!

Near noon, the Pacers flew from Salt Lake City to Portland.

Like the Trail Blazers, the Pacers are also back-to-back, and they are back-to-back on the road.

Also back-to-back, the Trail Blazers have a clear advantage in rest time.

After arriving in Portland, despite the long journey, Roaring God and the gold-medal thug arrived at the Rose Garden Arena as soon as possible.

This time, they entered the stadium through the main entrance.

"Dale, I forgot the last time I went in here."

With no one around, Tianzun showed his delicate and gentle side.

Dale Davis looked at Tianzun's face and felt it was extremely inconsistent. He responded: "You came in here the last time you came to the arena after you were traded last year. I was the one accompanying you that day."

Tianzun's mood was suddenly destroyed, and he complained: "The year you and the warden worked together was really not wasted!"

Tianzun walked into the arena angrily, looked at it, and asked: "Dale, has it been renovated?"

Dale Davis responded: "Yes, I heard that the Trail Blazers only lost 2 million last season. Paul Allen was happy and renovated part of the arena during the offseason. By the way, here,

Come and see, there are pictures of you."

Dale Davis took Tianzun to the corridor where Paul Allen personally designed and posted photos.

The photo he was looking at was from G2 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals. Tianzun remembered that it was his most glorious game in the playoffs before he went to the Pacers.

In the first four games of the 2000 Western Conference Finals, the Lakers won three, and the Trail Blazers only won G2. In that game, Tianzun was crazy offensively, making 8 of 18 shots, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, and 10 of 11.

Free throws, a surge of 29 points and 12 rebounds, suddenly helped the Trail Blazers win 1 game, otherwise they might have been swept out. With this victory, the Trail Blazers dragged the Western Conference Finals to G5, Sabonis,

After the two veterans of Pippen calmed down, the Trail Blazers began to counterattack, chasing from 1 to 3 to 3 to 3, and almost came back. Unfortunately, in the tiebreaker, although relying on Sabonis, Pippen restricted O'Neal.

However, Kobe Bryant made 9 of 19 shots in the tiebreaker and scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks. The road to becoming the king of the Western Conference Finals began. The Trail Blazers lost the tiebreaker 84-89 and failed to complete the strongest comeback in the Western Conference Finals.

That Western Conference Finals was originally the most impressive experience in Tianzun's career, but later he encountered the Trail Blazers' prison team era, started the Trail Blazers' darkest era with the Warden, and was traded to the Pacers midway.

He made a beautiful comeback and hit a home run straight to the championship and became FMVP... That Western Conference Finals is no longer so important to Tianzun.

Compared with the "brilliant photos" of that Western Conference Finals, Tianzun was more interested in the photos of Liu Xiu when he entered the NBA.

Liu Xiu's entry into the NBA was a turning point in Tianzun's career. In his opinion, it was the warden who fished him out of the abyss and saved him.

Tianzun's emotional mode turned on again: "Dale, I originally thought that when I came to this arena again, I would recall those beautiful scenes from the past, but when I really came here, I found that many things had been forgotten, and there was no real

Nostalgia, what the book says is true, you miss the beauty of the past just because you can’t go back to the past..."

When the gold medal thug heard that Tianzun was being pretentious again, he really wanted to strangle this guy to death.

But this urge must be suppressed.

If the Pacers don't have Tianzun, their chances of defending the title will definitely plummet.

Tianzun is the key to supporting the Pacers' record this season. He is the only player on the Pacers who has played full attendance so far.

Artest is the Pacers' most important outside player and an MVP candidate, but Tianzun's role is not weaker than Artest's.

"You are already the MVP of the Finals. Of course you have nothing to miss. I will send you to Minneapolis. Do you think you will miss it?"

An angelic voice reached the ears of the gold-medal thug!

Tianzun and Dale Davis turned around and saw at the end of the corridor, an extremely handsome man with a shaved head was wiping sweat.

Although I just met Liu Xiu in Denver a few days ago, and even went to the manor where Liu Xiu lives for lunch, seeing Liu Xiu in this arena always feels different.

It's just that Minneapolis... From the perspective of hindsight, if the Timberwolves get Tianzun without injury, theoretically speaking, they are definitely the team most likely to win the championship.

But Tianzun was disgusted when he heard this possibility. If he was really traded to the Timberwolves, the first thing he would do after the report was reported was to imitate the warden and have a fight with Garnett in the locker room to avenge his imprisonment over the years.

Spraying hatred.

Hearing such disgusting words, Tianzun decisively fought back and took out a newspaper from somewhere: "Faced with the last heavy punch, he scored 35 points... Wow, Warden, I have only been away for a year.

, you just changed your style?"

"If I score more than 35 points tonight, are you even worse than the Eagles?"

"..." Tianzun didn't expect that he had been thinking about the trash talk all morning, and the warden would counterattack so easily. He looked at the gold medal thug... The gold medal thug actually walked up and hooked up with the warden!

The warden is covered in sweat! You don’t mind being dirty!

But Tianzun took the initiative to start a trash talk war, how could the warden stop so easily?

"We just got 40 wins yesterday, what's your record?"

"Tianzun, when you were here last year, what was our record in the first half of the season? We were 38 wins and 12 losses in the middle of this year. What is your current record? Wow... 37 wins and 15 losses, not bad, not bad..."
Chapter completed!
