"To be honest, I don't care what stats he's been playing lately. You know, I never looked at him as a basketball star. ”

Pritchard has been interviewed by hordes of reporters about Tiger Cub almost every day, and each time, reporters get something new out of his mouth, even though he always stresses that he doesn't know Tiger at all.

"He is the supreme musical genius in my heart, and he is a master of Hollywood beauty. It is a magical investor with accurate vision, and it is also... A senior actor who is best at disguise. ”

Pritchard always finds words that touch on the journalist's G-spot.

"I've always thought that trading him to the Lakers was the perfect decision I've ever made in my life. We got Greg Oden, who will dominate the paint area of all the arenas across the league. We activated Brandon, Brandon was a good kid, he didn't have any bad press about him, he never dealt with bad boys, I liked him 200 percent, respected him, and did everything I could to help him become the No. 1 scoring guard in the league. And Aldridge, who has grown up quickly, and who is now doing much better work than Zach Randolph did back then. I don't mean to look down on Zach Randolph, I'm despising him. ”

"Also, Darius Miles, I heard he's in the Warriors now. It's great that the bad guys are coming together. I'll be sure to have the league officials check in the visiting locker room after the game and God knows if they're in there. ”

Pritchard is very calm in front of the camera, and he is almost a stand-up comedian.

"Honestly, Pritchard must be hoping for a ticket to the Tiger Spit Show. But unfortunately, we don't invite celebrities anymore, and even Justin Blake was finally herded into the audience by us, you know... Superstars like Leondona can only sit in the corner. ”

T-NT commented on Pritchard's recent remarks on their column.

The little tiger sitting in front of the TV has a calm expression.

Zach Randolph and Dalius Miles around him were furious.

"I'm going to have to screw Pritchard's head off. Darius Myers yelled angrily.

The Warriors arrived in Portland a day early and returned to the old place, and the three Trail Blazers veterans didn't feel much of a warm atmosphere.

Pritchard's disgusting figure can now be found on every television station in Portland.

You go to this station, and he's talking about the funeral at the Zach Randolph nightclub.

You switch to another station, and he starts accusing Myers of being a parallel product who can't learn how to shoot from mid-range for three years.

On another channel, he began to criticize Little Tiger for having no work ethic, saying that he focused more on Hollywood female stars.

All in all, no one can hear a good word from his mouth.

Regarding the upcoming match, he also vowed to emphasize: "The good boy will definitely beat the bad boy." I have 100 percent confidence in Brandon them. ”

Go to the special good boy!

Zach Randolph was furious!

……

May 5th.

The first game of the second round of the Western Conference playoffs has officially begun.

This is despite Pritchard's repeated claims that the Tigers have achieved nothing in Portland and even tarnished the team's reputation.

But when he walked into the Rose Garden Arena, he still received a lot of cheers.

Although there are also some boos.

But in the end, cheers accounted for the vast majority.

Tiger！Tiger！Tiger！！

When the shouts started, the little tiger found the feeling when he first joined the alliance.

He looked up at the top of the Rose Garden Arena, where he had fantasized about one day being able to hang his jersey.

However, what he has to do now is to break through the arena that he once tried his best to fight until he fainted.

The new owner of the Rose Garden Arena found Tiger before the referee's whistle and hugged Tiger vigorously.

This is despite Pritchard's remarks dividing the two into good boys and bad boys, and repeatedly emphasizing that the little tiger is holding Brandon Roy's back from developing. But in reality, there is no grudge between the two of them. Every year on Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Chinese New Year, we text each other. When Little Tiger was injured, Roy also sent a condolence text message and told him that he had also been severely injured in college.

"Regarding some of Pritchard's remarks, I regret and apologize. I don't feel like you encroached on my ball when I was with the Trail Blazers. Brandon Roy said frankly.

Before Little Tiger left Portland, the two did have some overlap in their playing style, and both sides needed to have the ball to play.

But from beginning to end, neither of them spoke ill of them.

They rivaled each other in college, and Stanford University and the University of Washington are in the same Pacific PAC-12 division, and the two often play against each other, and they know each other very well in terms of style and character.

"I know. Little Tiger patted him on the shoulder: "He is actually right in what he said, you are indeed a good boy." ”

"You seem to have forgotten that I'm older than you. Brandon regretted the elder tone of Little Tiger.

"Hahahaha!"

The little tiger laughed heartily and patted Brandon Roy on the shoulder again: "Come on, rookie!"

It was the first thing Tiger said when Roy joined the Trail Blazers.

Roy's thoughts were pulled away.

Little Tiger walked back to the Warriors halfcourt.

……

The five Trail Blazers starters who play at home tonight are: Stephen Blake, Brandon Roy, Tveras Otero, Channingfrye and LaMarcus Aldridge. The Warriors' five players are Tigers, Monta Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Zach Randolph and Kwame Brown. ”

"In terms of lineup, the Warriors are a bit stronger defensively. The Trail Blazers have more offensive firepower, with all five players possessing consistent shooting ability. After six big games with the Rockets, the Portland Juniors have a lot of playoff experience. ”

T-NT's Johnson, as always, wrote his pre-match analysis: "On paper. The Trail Blazers are slightly more likely to win. However, any game with Tiger cannot be extrapolated by common sense. Just like the opponent in the first round, the Phoenix people would never have dreamed that their second-place regular season selves would be swept 4-0 by the Warriors. ”

Pritchard was also on the floor tonight, and he was sitting next to the Trail Blazers bench. He looked calm, wasn't he afraid of the little tiger slapping him in the face with victory? He repeatedly emphasized that the little tiger's current strength was just an enhanced version of Jarrett Jack. Charles Barkley laughed and said, "It's time for Jarett-Jack to perform a quadruple pair." ”

Drip!

The whistle blows and the game begins.

Syllable!

Kwame Brown won comfortably against Radmanovic.

Ellis took control of the basketball and calmly advanced.

Fans at the Rose Garden Arena only then discovered that the Little Tiger was playing a shooting guard tonight.

Little Tiger came to the front court and immediately stuck Brandon Roy with his back at the free throw line.

Brandon Roy is physically strong, and in the past, when the two of them were in college, the little tiger almost had to stagger.

But now, Little Tiger's bottom plate is rock solid.

Brandon made several unsuccessful rounds.

And Montaelis has already passed the ball.

When the little tiger received the basketball, he immediately put down his center of gravity and pushed it back.

Burst!

Burst!

One step at a time, Brandon Roy couldn't stop it.

Just when everyone thought that the little tiger would hit him a third time, he suddenly turned around, and Brandon was a little unresponsive.

But he quickly raised his hands with his defensive experience in an attempt to block the little tiger's sight. He is taller than the little tiger. The little tiger is only six feet three inches, and he is a standard six feet six.

His idea was good.

The defense is also in place.

But Tiger still sent the basketball into the basket with a step-back jumper.

The first meeting between the two was uneventful.

Brandon Roy did what he could, just didn't stop it.

Little Tiger's goal was also mediocre, as if it were an ordinary step-back jumper.

"Tiger hadn't been able to hit this kind of shot before. McMillan muttered quietly from the sidelines.

On the issue of Little Tiger's transaction, he did not firmly oppose it. The reason is that he thinks that Brandon Roy's style of play will be more suitable for his skills and tactics. The little tiger is too gorgeous and too fancy, and he can't wait to make a breakthrough and do three high-speed changes of direction, and he will never give up without tearing the opponent's ankle.

It's a very entertaining style of play that resonates with fans.

But for an old academic like him, it was unbearable.

Therefore, he chose to side with the unpretentious Brandon Roy.

But now, the first goal of the game.

Little Tiger used the simplest and most crisp back-to-back single to show the world that he could also hit this unpretentious step-back jumper.

Was the transaction really a mistake back then?

McMillan hesitated.

What Little Tiger did with the Lakers and what he did with the Warriors, he saw it all. He couldn't blindfold himself like Pritchard did and claim that everything was fake. He thought... If the Tigers stay with the Trail Blazers, it seems that they can become a championship-caliber team even without Greg Oden. After all... Last year, the Purple and Gold led the Lakers to the finals, not to mention the Trailblazers who have the entire youth team?

Swish!

Brandon Roy was expressionless in the front scene and also colored.

He's not a passionate player, and his style of play isn't exaggerated at all. He just stuffed a few fakes into some technical moves that were too ordinary to be more realistic, and then easily sent the basketball into the basket.

Little Tiger was only half negligent in defense just now, and let him seize the opportunity to hit the basketball.

The Rose Garden Arena was filled with cheers, and the Portland fans cheered on their new king with a raging cheer!

When Little Tiger scored a goal before, there were also some cheers in the stadium.

But not as intense as this time.

Little Tiger wasn't stupid enough to be jealous of Brandon Roy, and he once again held the ball in the half to face Roy, but he didn't single again. Instead, he assisted Zach Randolph to force Aldridge.

Randolph was not as peaceful as Little Tiger.

As if he was going to devour poor Channingfrye alive, several hits in quick succession made the emaciated Channingfrye unable to touch the north, and then turned around like a whirlwind and smashed the basketball into the basket in a rage.

Immediately, he thumped his chest and roared at the Trail Blazers bench.

He was anxious to prove that the Trail Blazers uniform group was a bunch of idiots.

However, the harvest was boos from the audience.

Strictly speaking, Zach was also once the king of the Rose Garden. But he really didn't leave any good news in Portland, either drunk and racing, or confronting the head coach, and there were some news related to drug trafficking from time to time. The Trail Blazers turned Portland Jail, and he made an indelible contribution.

So, he was traded away and did not arouse any sympathy.

The citizens of Portland were almost without beating gongs and drums to say goodbye.

"I can't believe I used to play so hard for these unscrupulous fans. ”

Zach Randolph said to the little tiger with some grievances.

"Alright, Zach. You haven't played hard here. Little Tiger ruthlessly debunked the lie: "What you're going to do tonight is to tear their forbidden area apart, but to remember those things that don't exist, understand?"

Randolph shrugged his shoulders as he quickly ran back.

Channing Fry then tried to get his face back from beyond the three-point line, but was interfered with by Stephen Jackson.

Aldridge rushed to grab the frontcourt rebound but was also blocked by Kwame Brown, and the little tiger easily ran into the box to get the backcourt rebound.

Then suddenly launched a fast attack.

He handed a long pass to Monta Ellis, who galloped all the way, throwing Stephen Black behind in an instant and stuffing the basketball into the basket in an unstoppable manner.

"The Warriors' defensive counter-attack has been excellent. ”

Johnson praised from the commentary stand.

Turning around, Brandon Roy was in possession of the ball, he patiently combed through it, quickly found the gap, and handed the ball to Otero, who hit a jumper under Stephen Jackson's defense!

"Brandon Roy is actually a very old-school point guard style of play. He's gifted in assists. Kenny Smith hit the nail on the head: "Actually, Little Tiger and Brandon Roy are very similar in their current style of play. Merely... Brandon is more focused on scoring. And the little tiger is keen to get an economic triple-double. ”

As Kenny Smith put it.

Little Tiger and Huang Mamba began to play in the mirror.

The two are almost at the same pace as the team forward.

The Warriors are a little more resilient defensively, and the Trail Blazers have more offense.

Under the operation of the two managers almost exactly in unison.

The game is hard to solve.

At the end of the first quarter, 26:26.

The two sides reached a draw and it was very harmonious.

Little Tiger had 4 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. Brandon Roy had 6 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds. They are also evenly matched in terms of data. Kenny Smith analyzed: "I expect this game to be carried out until the last minute. ”

"It's worth mentioning... Brandon Roy is the regular season winner this season, having scored four times. Tiger Cub is not far behind, and although he has not made many appearances, he has scored three times, including two against the Boston Celtics. ”

"The two of them are so similar even in their ability to handle the key ball. ”

"I really hope that tonight can be staged, lore, anti-lore, and lore again!"
