Although he has been retired for a while, O'Neill is still a hot figure in the mouth of fans. www.biquge.info No way, in the past, T.NT had a Charles Barkley that was enough to attract attention. Now, with O'Neill's living treasure coming in to disrupt the situation, T.NT's ratings are even higher.

O'Neal is one of the most successful stars in the league, and what he says is naturally very weighty. Although most of the time he is as raunchy and unorthodox as Barkley, once he gets serious, he can also explain it quite professionally.

In today's game, O'Neill decided to comment on it with a relatively serious attitude. After all, this matchup will be very different from any other match.

At a time when all teams are looking for high pitches and three-pointers, and they all worship the impact and range of their perimeter players. Only the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies continue to play defensively first and positional warfare that have been gradually abandoned by the league. There are only two teams here that will choose a slower center forward to be the core of the team.

A top-level matchup between a center and a center forward, you don't get a chance to see that kind of game a season long. O'Neal, as one of the last rays of light for the center, is naturally looking forward to this matchup. It's a moment of glory for the centre, and O'Neal definitely doesn't want to grin.

Why is O'Neal one of the last rays of light for the center? Because the other ray of light is Yao Ming! Although Yao Ming has successfully transitioned into management, he still decided to turn on the TV honestly and watch the live broadcast of the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers on this morning. Maybe only this game can give him and O'Neill the feeling they felt when they were playing on the court.

At the Rose Garden Arena, tickets for the game were sold out a day earlier. Although this is not a good result compared to the All-Star Game or the playoffs, as an ordinary regular season, the tickets are sold out a day early, which is definitely a very remarkable thing. You know, Portland isn't a big market like Los Angeles or New York. It can be said that almost all the Trail Blazers fans who can buy tickets have gathered here, hoping to see the competition between Anjie and Gasol Jr.

For neutral fans, this game is destined to be slow-paced, perhaps a little dull. But for Trail Blazers fans, it's simply a must-see.

"Hello audience friends, do you see behind me? Rose Garden Arena is sitting here today! They are here for one purpose, this group of guys just wants to see who is more lethal in the defense of the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies, and who is more capable of Anjie and Gasol Jr.!" T.NT sent their strongest courtside reporter this time, "Mr. Colorful Clothes" Craig Sager. This guy doesn't just come to the scene for any game, only T.NT thinks that the game is extremely important and exciting, and will send Sagarh, who is highly respected in this industry, to come to interview.

In front of the TV, the camera constantly switches back and forth between Anjie and little Gasol. Gasol Jr. may have a much lower start than Anjie, but right now, this guy definitely belongs to the ranks of the league's top interior players. This original second-round pick is now not only no worse than his brother Paul, but in some ways he has even surpassed Paul.

It's too difficult to find an opponent for An Jie in this league now, and this time he meets Gasol Jr., who doesn't want to take advantage of this to hype up.

Anjie and Gasol Jr. don't think much of the duel between the two of them, their teams are now ranked third and fourth in the East respectively, so the only thing Anjie and Gasol Jr. care about is the final outcome of the game!

"We have to be patient on the offensive end! The Grizzlies' defense is not so easy to be porous! If you don't have a chance, just keep it on for me, don't play blindly!" Ricard continued to emphasize until the last minute how different the Grizzlies' defense is, the Trail Blazers' 10-game winning streak has been a little too smooth, and it is not impossible to have a habitual underweight in the game. Riccard therefore had to repeat himself as often as possible to minimize the chance of such problems.

At the urging of the referee, Ricard finally stopped preaching and sent his players onto the pitch.

The atmosphere of the match was intense, and the cheers and screams of the fans never stopped since Anjie and Gasol Jr. faced off in the center circle.

An Jie looked at the serious-looking guy in front of him, he was not angry, but his expression was definitely not friendly.

Seeing that An Jie kept staring at him, little Gasol also felt a little embarrassed if he didn't say anything.

"Ann, you know, we're not here to die in Portland. Later, my buddies and I will not show mercy, and you will do everything you can. Only then will the game become interesting. Only then will we be worthy of the fans who are looking forward to this game. Gasol didn't want to show goodwill to Anjie, but he didn't want to show too much hostility either. He pointed to the audience and showed how eye-catching An Jie's match today was.

"I didn't intend for you to die in Portland, but just like your brother, you can't stop me! But we're all men, and you want to win, and I agree with you!" Anjie smiled at Gasol, but the smile wasn't comfortable.

Marc Gasol shook his head and stared intently at the referee's basketball. An Jie's guy is still the same as before, unlikable, but very interesting......

"It's going to be a game, wow! You know Charles, I didn't sleep well last night because I was looking forward to it. Okay, now that Ann has won the first shot for the Trail Blazers, let's see how Ann can lead his brothers to break through the Grizzlies' defense. From the start, O'Neill gushed excitedly.

"Don't get too excited, Shaq, you know, there is a saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. In my opinion, this extremely slow-paced game should not be very enjoyable. Charles Barkley's favorite thing to do is to pour cold water on O'Neal, but in fact, in his heart, Barkley also wants Anjie and Gasol to give everyone an unforgettable matchup.

Raymond Felton got the ball and made a few gestures before slowly advancing in possession. For a team like the Grizzlies, fast doesn't solve the problem. What's more, the Trail Blazers aren't a team that's good at raising the tempo.

With the exception of Felton, the other four Trail Blazers are all in a good position, and Felton has to deal with the fast Mike Conley. He knew that if he was negligent, Mike Conley would suddenly sprint and take the basketball out of his hand.

So in the process of controlling the ball, Felton's hands were almost all on Conley's chest. The young defender was a surprise steal that Filton didn't want to try.

However, it is not an option to go on like this for a long time, and Filton must get the ball out of it quickly. Otherwise, the whole offense will look very fluid.

Despite the bumps, Filton still got the ball to the right place on time. Gerard Wallace made a tentative move towards Rudy Gay in front of him with the ball, but Gay was unmoved.

Although he has changed from the Grizzlies' star to the right-hand man of the Black and White Bears, Gay's basketball talent has not changed. Gerard Wallace's tentative steps could not deceive Guy's eyes at all.

Seeing that Rudy Guy was unmoved, Gerard Wallace also gave up on his singles idea. Ricard is right, the Grizzlies' defense is really not comparable to other teams.

So he used a crotch dribble to find a rhythm, and suddenly a start, and he stabbed towards the basket!

Rudy Guy was not slow to react, and he immediately moved sideways to block Elvis's path. If it weren't for Gerard Wallace's fitness, he would have been forced to stop by Guy's block.

Wallace gritted his teeth and walked into the three-second zone with the tremendous pressure Guy exerted on him. Seeing that the basket was close at hand, Gerard Wallace actually held the ball in both hands and started to take three steps!

"No way, that guy didn't get out of the defense at all. "Marc Gasol, like Anjie, was in opposition to Anjie, but his vision was all over the half. In this range, the details of all the attacking players, Mark can see clearly!

If it were to be used as another interior line, he might have been attracted by Wallace's breakthrough to help defend the basket, which led to Anjie being emptied. But in Gasol Jr.'s opinion, Gerard Wallace must have cheated this goal!

"It's now!" Sure enough, after Gerard Wallace jumped, he immediately turned into a pass, ready to hand the ball to Angel. But the moment he took the ball out of his hand, he was still close to An Jie!

Anjie tried his best to reach the basketball, but Gasol Jr. was already in a good position. In the end, Anjie still didn't squeeze Marc Gasol, and if he continued to try, Gasol would definitely take advantage of the situation and cheat a foul.

Marc Gasol couldn't hold the ball directly under Anjie's entanglement, but he hit the basketball and changed the trajectory of the basketball.

Grizzlies perimeter guard Tony Allen took control of the basket first, and he pushed forward so hard that the Trail Blazers were left behind with the exception of Wesley Matthews.

However, Matthews is not a guy who is good at defense, and his timing of chasing blocks is very bad, and Tony Allen successfully counterattacked and gave the Grizzlies the lead with a one-handed dunk!

"!" Rickard scolded dissatisfiedly, Gerard Wallace was still a little too much to take for granted. In this way, you can't tear through the Trail Blazers' defense.

In the first leg of the opening game, Anjie and Gasol Jr. didn't even touch the ball, and the two teams separated the winners and losers for the first time.

Yes, the outside world has hyped this game into a showdown between two big men. But in fact, Mark Gasol is not the only one who is powerful on the Grizzlies!

And the Grizzlies, too, used a steal to prove how good they are on the defensive end!

If the Bulls are Thibodeau's system to cover up the shortcomings of the players' abilities, then the Grizzlies are a well-deserved defensive powerhouse that is very outstanding in terms of system and player ability!

In the first round, Gasol Jr. didn't even let Anjie touch the ball. Although the mistake was not in Anjie, it can be regarded as Gasol Jr. giving Anjie a dismount.

Want to win the game? It's not something you can do before the game!

You can kill the grizzly bear, but you'll have to be stronger than the fierce grizzly bear!

Notice, in the rose garden ahead, there are bears!
