Portland, the familiar city of flowers. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the mouth of the media, Ruan Er Niu should be full of hatred for the city and think about revenge all the time.

Because they finally chose Greg Oden as the champion in the draft, and abandoned Ruan Erniu, a genius in the sky.

However, Ruan Erniu never had such an idea in his heart.

He even faintly thanked the Trail Blazers, who were definitely more important than the fame of the top pick and the multimillion-dollar salary gap, the impact of being able to lead the team to a championship in his rookie season and the commercial value that came with it.

You must know that once he goes to the Trail Blazers, let alone whether Er Niu can escape the so-called curse of the center, the lineup configuration at that time alone cannot satisfy his desire for honor.

Not to mention that his position on the team is definitely behind Brandon Roy.

It's true that Roy is a good guy, but after all, he is younger and more ambitious, and he will never know how to compromise more than Embarrassment, who has experienced a personal accident and has been traded many times.

Erniu went to the pioneers, and he would definitely not be able to get the leadership position!

Comparing Ruan Erniu's current prosperity, it can really be said that he has made a judgment from a high level.

Trail Blazers Premier Manager Kevin Pritchard is still adamant that there was nothing wrong with the original draft.

Even though Oden's attendance this season is still low, Pritchard still has a bit of hard capital, because the Trail Blazers have finally ushered in the long-awaited rise this season.

So far, the Trail Blazers have a 33-20 regular season record this season, which is already in the top four in the Western Conference.

In the competitive West, the Trail Blazers, the league's youngest average age, have endless possibilities.

The current youth army framework of the Trail Blazers was created by Pritchard, and the 08-09 season was the first harvest season for the Trail Blazers.

It's a pity that Ruan Erniu's existence itself has become a thorn in Pritchard's heart.

So every time he plays the Hawks at home, Pritchard will personally supervise the game on the sidelines.

The Atlanta Hawks are still on their way to a 72-win record, and the high-spirited Trail Blazers, as the new league powerhouse, certainly don't want to be a backdrop for their opponents.

So tonight's game is destined to be a fierce matchup.

Ruan Erniu did not underestimate the Trail Blazers in the slightest, and after entering the league, Brandon Roy was the player who once knocked him out in the preseason last season.

Of course, this is already from last season, and it is still in the preseason that doesn't have much value, and both the Ernius and the Hawks have entered their heyday this season.

It's a pity that Greg Oden, the "lifelong enemy" of the two bulls in this game, missed the game again due to injury, and the two have been in the NBA for more than a season, and they haven't even had a chance to play each other.

Before the game, Ruan Erniu also made a special trip to a row of spectators to shake hands with Auden in a suit and leather shoes, hoping that he could recover and return to the field as soon as possible.

Media reporters with ulterior motives deliberately provoked during the interview: "Kraft, do you think that Oden is just a guy who doesn't live up to his name, and you and KD are more qualified to be the top picks in the '07 draft." ”

Ruan Erniu retorted: "He simply doesn't have enough opportunities to prove himself, it's too early to say this, I'm sure Oden will prove himself in the next games, injuries are something that every player doesn't want to suffer, some people are too Greg, it's not his fault." ”

Ruan Erniu, who already has a crown in hand and faintly has the opportunity to attack the first person in the alliance, will not spoil the situation.

In some things that will not hurt and affect his status, Ruan Erniu can show enough tolerance, and he does exactly that.

At the Rose Garden Arena, the Hawks continued to play their usual starting lineup, while the Trail Blazers started the following:

C Joel Pulzbilla

PF LaMarcus Aldridge

SF Nicholas Batum

SG Brandon Roy

PG Steve Blake

Erniu was better in the jump ball with Pulzbilla, and took the lead in dialing the ball into the hands of the lunar eclipse, who passed the ball to Bibby, who came to the front court with the ball.

Erniu immediately arrived in the low post, and Bibby's pass was also sent over at the first time.

Purzibilla's strength is good, the speed is too slow, Erniu turned the basket to the basket, and a false shake shook him out, and then Erniu unhurriedly made a layup and dunked.

This rate also seems to have the intention of leading Aldridge to come up and make a rule, but Ade is obsessed with entangled with the lunar eclipse, and in the end he does not make up for it.

Ruan Erniu ran back to the half court with a smile, no matter how you look at it, in the No. 5 position, he is the absolute strong point of this game.

Blake held the ball across half court and then gave the ball to Roy, who deployed the offense with the ball in the high post, and in the current offensive system of the Trail Blazers, Steve Blake's remaining tasks are only to run and catch the ball.

Roy was not in a hurry to challenge the embarrassment, and he sent the ball to Aldridge "Lokomotiv".

Ade, who is getting stronger and stronger, is now able to rely on his height and weight advantage to press the lunar eclipse in, but the lunar eclipse, which is also physically brutal, is by no means easy......

"Bang!"

The iron is struck!

Ruan Erniu squeezed through Purzbilla to win the backcourt rebound, and immediately chose a long pass to the frontcourt, Bibi took the lead, received the basketball, relied on his physical advantage to carry Blake's defense, and stepped on the step point to force a layup......

"Beware!"

Salmons reminded loudly.

It's late!

Nicholas Batum, a Gaul who was drafted by the Rockets at No. 25 this season and was immediately traded to the Trail Blazers, inherited the fine tradition of "Rockets must be a high-quality product", jumped high in the Gallic Flyer, and fanned the basketball in Bibby's hand with a beautiful block.

In the Trail Blazers' offensive system, Batum, a rookie who averages 5.4 points per game, does not have much presence, but it has to be said that he has actually become the core of the Trail Blazers' outside defense.

Roy has to focus more on the offensive end, while Blake is limited by physical talent and can't become a Payton, Kidd-style defensive master, and Batum, who is tall and outstanding, has successfully strengthened the Trail Blazers' lack in this regard.

It can be said that the rise of the Trail Blazers this season is inseparable from the outstanding performance of rookies such as Batum and Rudy Fernandez.

The Eagles sent a baseline ball, Ruan Erniu held the ball at 12 feet, and passed Pulzbila in one step, this time Ade finally made up for it, and Erniu did not have too much desire to show at the beginning of the game, and then threw the ball to the back.

The lunar eclipse will not let go of this good time to perform, after getting rid of the defense, successfully got the basketball in the air, and then used all his strength to complete a violent two-handed basket, ravaging the Trail Blazers' basket fiercely.

Roy then forced his shot from the mid-range position from the embarrassment defense and missed!

Erniu once again won the backcourt rebound, directly advanced with the ball, and just after halftime, he sent the ball to the unguarded Missen, who calmly shot from outside the three-point line and hit a 3-pointer.

……

The Hawks did feel some defensive pressure in the first quarter of the game, but with stronger mobility and the advantage of overall strength, they still quickly played a wave of 15:4, dominated by the opponents, and took the initiative.

Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan was forced to call a timeout.
