698: Shock! The Blazer's weakness is...(5.5K(2/3)
Although Wayne felt very sorry, he also knew that losing a game was normal.
After all, this is not the season when we won 75 games, and we can easily win more than ten or twenty games in a row.
It is normal for old comrades to lose penalty kicks in the regular season.
If you really want to meet the Pistons in the playoffs, can they win?
But in the regular season, winning and losing are normal.
Wayne remembered that the most glorious moment of Reggie Jackson's career was 26 points in a single quarter, but he didn't expect to be hit by him.
After losing the game, Wayne found that his comrades still seemed to be under a lot of pressure.
After all, the Trail Blazers are a team with high expectations this season. However, being upset by a team like the Pistons must have affected morale a bit.
Wayne also wanted to relieve the stress of his teammates, so he suddenly thought of a group activity that was suitable for the elderly.
On November 9th, after three days of rest, the Trail Blazers will face the Nuggets at the Denver Plateau.
Now the Nuggets have also entered a period of reconstruction, changing everything from the head coach to the core.
Zhuge Malone hasn't started his empty city strategy yet, and the fat guy who just quit coke and can't hold a plank for 15 seconds hasn't started to rise yet. The Nuggets are still one of the weakest players in the West.
Logically speaking, he should be a soft persimmon.
But people doubted whether the old bones of the pioneers could withstand the ravages of the thin air on the Denver Plateau.
After all, this is the Trail Blazers' first away game in Denver this season, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable.
You must know that in the last game, Hajishi just surrendered a 6-for-21 performance at the Denver Plateau.
Wayne laughed, saying that the difficulty in playing Hajishi had nothing to do with the plateau or not.
He was mainly tired from practicing ball control the night before.
It's very physically demanding to practice ball control at four o'clock in the morning in the Denver Plateau.
But no one on the Trail Blazers has the worry of being tired from holding the ball. Moreover, the entire Trail Blazers team has been obsessed with the newly introduced stress-reducing activities by Wayne recently.
A few hours before the game started, several reporters who had obtained the right to enter the locker room knocked on the door and entered the locker room to see how the Trail Blazers were preparing for the game.
As soon as the door was opened, the reporters were dumbfounded.
I saw the Trail Blazers players sitting around a small square table. When reporters came in, they ignored them and remained focused on...
Play majiang!
"Wait a minute...my cards...Wayne, come and see if I'm stupid." Old Carter waved his hand and invited Director Wei.
Director Wei took a look and then nodded to Carter.
Carter pushed the cards and waved his arms excitedly.
"What a fool!"
"Damn it, I lost all my dinner money while riding a horse! Miles, please treat me to dinner these two days!" Big Jonji covered his head. Logically speaking, a person with my level of education shouldn't be so good at playing cards.
ah.
Fortunately, there is a rookie on the team who can be bullied~
Turner burst into tears. I was too afraid to go to the table, and I still couldn't avoid the fate of being exploited.
After the game, everyone noticed that a reporter had entered the locker room.
The reporters all froze in place, thinking they were in the wrong place.
This cultural invasion has invaded the NBA locker room!?
The reporter found Carter, who had just made a fool of himself, and asked them what they were doing.
"Obviously, we all use this method to relieve stress. Don't tell me, it works~"
Old Carter counted the swords he had just won in his hands and answered with a smile.
To be honest, NBA players experiencing Mahjong is nothing new.
Many years ago, O'Neal was a master of mahjong.
It's just that playing mahjong with him is a bit expensive.
But moving mahjong directly to the locker room is indeed a good thing.
I thought that this season the Trail Blazers would have two tables of Landlords for the elderly, but who knew it would actually be Mahjong for the elderly.
Ten minutes later, a video of Blazers players playing mahjong in the locker room went viral.
The US media exclaimed: "The Trail Blazers have found the best way to reduce stress!"
Many people laughed with disdain. Just this thing, can it reduce stress?
Then why do you need a psychiatrist?
But once the game started that night, the fans stopped laughing.
I don’t know if playing mahjong can reduce stress, but it is true that people who win money are in good condition.
Against the Nuggets, in addition to Curry's 30 points and Wayne's 26 points, Carter senior also scored a season-high 18 points.
Among them, he made 5 of 7 three-pointers!
He scored 15 points just from three-pointers.
Thin air in the Denver Plateau?
What a joke, everyone is already used to the feeling of facing pressure on the plateau when playing mahjong!
The card game this afternoon was much more intense and tense than the game at night.
105 to 94, the Trail Blazers successfully defeated the Nuggets and did not fall into the quagmire of a losing streak!
After the game, some reporters who didn't know the truth asked Wayne how he made the team come to their senses so quickly.
Wayne smiled and said nothing: "These are all mysterious powers from the East~"
In terms of leadership ability, that depends on me, Godway.
Whether it's a kindergarten or a nursing home, we'll take care of everything for you.
With Mahjong's stress-relieving method, the Blazers' performance in the next few games will be pretty good.
Won three of four games, and in one of them, the Trail Blazers double-killed the Spurs.
On November 16, facing the Spurs for the second time this season, the Trail Blazers won much easier than the last time.
The Spurs were able to fight the Trail Blazers to the end in the last game. In fact, part of the reason was because Aldridge had a great touch and was accurate every time he shot.
But today, Aldridge, who is back to normal and no longer performs beyond his level, is not so miraculous.
Under Butler's pressure, he made 7 of 14 shots from the field and only scored 17 points.
Scoring 17 points with a 50% shooting rate is actually not a bad performance.
But if you want to beat the Trail Blazers, it's definitely not enough.
Kawhi's side only scored 19 points under Wayne's defense.
The score of both cores was limited to less than 20, which naturally made it impossible to win.
Wayne's big win in San Antonio also broke the Spurs' unbeaten record at home early.
You know, in the original history, the Spurs had a terrible record of 40 wins and 1 loss at home.
But this season, the Spurs are expected to say goodbye to this record.
Although their home record will still be excellent, it will never be able to reach the level of 40 wins and 1 loss again.
In these four games, the Trail Blazers lost to the Grizzlies only once.
That was mainly because we played back-to-back home and away games with the Grizzlies.
The Trail Blazers won the first game, but in the second game in Memphis, Garrett bottomed out and rebounded, educating Johnny and Turner, scoring 34 points in the game, and finally helped the Grizzlies win.
Xiaojia has always been very aggressive towards his own brother.
So far, the only two losses the Blazers have lost in 12 games have been due to players on the opposite side breaking out.
One Pistons Jackson, one Grizzlies Gasol.
It seems that as long as the opponent performs at a super level, the Blazers can't cope.
Therefore, most people have expressed concerns about Wayne's next game.
Because the Houston Mosaic is exactly a team that relies on bursts to win!
That's right, the Mosaic team's record from the start of this season is not ideal, with only 5 wins and 6 losses.
Instable performance is the biggest problem of this Mosaic team.
Whether it is Harden or their role players, this season has been a ghost.
But this is precisely the scariest part of Mosaic.
You don't know when they will suddenly break out. Once they break out, Mosaic will be at the championship level.
To be continued...
