Chapter 115: [Does the Pioneer Regret It?] 】

Zack? Randolph is like a fish in water, and there is no solution to attack. Aldridge, the Trail Blazers' power forward, has been unable to find a rhythm, and under the care of Biedrins and Jackson, he shot 2 of 7 at the end of the third quarter, scoring only 4 points and 4 rebounds, far worse than his average data per game.

Jackson showed his defensive skills, and his physical condition was destined to prevent him from defending the No. 4 position in the low post, but the last thing he feared was that he was not heavy enough to shoot a big forward, and he knew how to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and close his eyes to interfere. Biedrins is also not afraid of Aldridge's type of inside.

McMillan saw that the score was widening, and the whole team's offense almost relied on Roy alone, and his brows were furrowed into a "Chuan" word. He has ambitions and wants to make a difference in the playoffs, but now the Trail Blazers can't even beat the Warriors, and they have a full lineup, and the Warriors still have two quasi-stars missing.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, something that broke McMillan happened. He repeatedly instructed interior players to protect their backcourt rebounds and pay attention to reducing fouls. But Aldridge couldn't play Randolph and Biedrins in the card position, and he pushed the opponent to get the rebound in excitement, but he couldn't escape the eyes of the referee and was whistled for a fifth foul.

If Aldridge is off, substitute Outlaw will not be able to grab rebounds, and his defense will be poor. Oden and Pulzbila can't be on the court together, otherwise the Warriors will break fast and the tall interior won't be able to defend back.

So, McMillan took the risk of keeping Aldridge on the field. As a result, only three minutes later, Randolph received the ball under the basket and hit it strongly, turned and shot, causing Aldridge to foul, so that his younger brother graduated with six fouls.

Oden was also plagued by fouls, and soon five fouls were replaced, and the Trail Blazers' lack of interior benches began to show, and they could no longer prevent the Warriors' offense, losing 21 rebounds in the game.

113-91, the Warriors won four in a row, with an overall record of 10-1.

Zhou Xuan shot 4-of-9, including a three-pointer and 2-of-2 free throws, and had a double-double of 11 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists. New recruit Randolph made a big splash, shooting 12-of-19 from the field, 5-of-7 from the free-throw line, with 29 points, 16 rebounds and 2 assists. Biedrins also had 11 points and 12 rebounds. Jackson had 17 points, four rebounds and six assists, Moreau had 10 points and Azubuke had 12 points. Another new signing, Collins, didn't play much, playing eight minutes, grabbed only two rebounds and missed all 2 shots.

The Trail Blazers had five players in double figures, Roy had 26 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Blake had 16 points and 5 assists, Fernandez scored 16 points, Oden had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Outlaw had 10 points.

The Trail Blazers lost to Randolph, who could resist in the low post, but Randolph pulled to the high post to block and dismantle, and Purzbila and Oden couldn't defend themselves well with them, and how to deal with Randolph will be a major topic for them in the future.

Fans who only look at the data and don't watch the game may be shocked, why did Aldridge, who was opposite Randolph, fight so badly, was he prevented by Randolph to death? In fact, Randolph did not play against Aldridge throughout the game, and followed two big centers with a short range. Similarly, Zhou Xuan basically did not play against Blake, and spent more time defending against Fernandes.

In this game, Zhou Xuan played very well again. He thought that it would be much more difficult to play in the NBA than in the NBDL, and he was ready to be abused by the stars, slowly improve, and wait to come out. Unexpectedly, after 11 games, not only did he not get abused, but he was also at the top of the assist list, which was easier than NBDL to assist his teammates. He's getting bolder, hitting the ground and passing to his teammates more often, and although he's prone to mistakes, he's more threatening, and it's a workout for him.

As a point guard, the problem that Zhou Xuan will face in the future is not that the team has no attack points, but that there are too many attack points, who will pass it to? Even Azubuuk is a man who can score on the fast break, and Moreau has proven that he can score in both games. He felt so lucky to be part of such a team as soon as he entered the league.

After the game, Randolph was named Man of the Match. When he was substituted in the fourth quarter, the home fans gave him a round of applause and accepted him in the shortest possible time.

At the press conference, Randolph, Zhou Xuan, and Jackson began to praise each other. They discussed it in the locker room, and they all said that the other party was an All-Star player, so you are welcome. The All-Star voting has begun, and the Warriors' starting five are all on the shortlist, and it is possible that only three of them should be selected, and Randolph's stats are beautiful. Jackson is the new boss of the Warriors, and Zhou Xuan has the Chinese market behind him and the support of Chinese fans.

Old Nelson smiled very happily today, he said: "An important reason why we play well is that Zhou Xuan is better than Byron? Davis is more suitable for the Warriors, his skills are not the best, and his scoring means are average, but he plays very smartly and distributes the ball reasonably. ”

At the mention of Randolph, the elder Nelson also praised it. "He's been great on the offensive end, especially in the low post, he's the kind of player we need the most, and today's game says it all, the Trail Blazers are a strong team, but Zach has a great first game with his teammates."

When asked by reporters about the Warriors' goals for the new season, Nelson Sr. didn't say. His goal is only to win a championship, and getting a championship ring before retirement is his greatest wish. He was superstitious and felt that if he said his wishes, he would not work.

Trail Blazers head coach Mike McMillan also praised Randolph, saying he played aggressively and Aldridge was not tough enough.

Aldridge, who made huge improvements in his stats last season, has never been tough, and some say he is a strengthened version of "Yi Jianlian", with better quality and more accurate shooting, and that's it. He can't cause damage to the opponent's interior line, and his rebounding efficiency is pitiful.

The reporter asked if McMillan would regret sending Randolph away. The facts are already in front of us, Oden has not been able to play at a dominant level after his comeback, he is just a decent blue-collar worker, and he was even put on the bench for a while. In this case, it is inevitable that some people will ask if Randolph and Aldridge will be better together, at least on the offensive end. McMillan didn't answer, saying that the current Trail Blazers are still young, the players have potential, and they will have a bright future.

Randolph was a vicious breath, and his performance was enough to make the Trail Blazers regret their ruthlessness and lack of vision.

Do you know that the Trailblazers traded with New York at the beginning, but they were only exchanged for Channing? Frye and Steve, who is already on the verge of being scrapped? Francis. Frye is not necessarily better defensively than Randolph, and the offense has to be discounted. Francis was bought out of the rest of his contract directly by the Trail Blazers. This is almost a gift to Randolph, New York, and another 30 million dollars to Francis.

The management of the Trail Blazers still felt that they had played a good game at the time, thinking that Francis's level and salary were disproportionate, and then the Trail Blazers needed to build a team around Oden, Roy, and Aldridge. It soon became clear that Francis's style of play was too unique and hindered the development of newcomers. What's even more unfortunate is that Oden was reimbursed last season, and an Pulzbilla is available on the inside. This year, Oden can play, that's all, and he can't get 10+10 per game. Now they can only choose to believe in Oden and slowly cultivate.

After this game, the Warriors were given a break and did not play for two days before continuing to play at home against the Chicago Bulls.

Zhou Xuan went home and ate a ham sandwich for supper, turned on the TV and watched the night replay of sports news, and found that the Warriors were really lucky, and the Bulls had a big general injured today.

In a game played at the same time, the Bulls lost 109-116 to the Lakers, and the difference in strength between the two teams is normal, and the Lakers have only lost to the Pistons once so far this season, the same record as the Warriors.

The Bulls injured two big men in order to fight this game. In the middle of the second quarter, Noah grabbed a rebound, but there was no one around him at that time, and he didn't know where he shook when he landed, so he was replaced off the court and went straight back to the locker room. In the third quarter, Lore Deng also sprained his ankle during a breakaway layup.

Their injuries are unknown, but the Bulls have been on the Devil's schedule lately, with the latter two on the road, back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers and then the Warriors tomorrow. In this case, the coaching staff is likely to rest the two main players and let the bench play alive, and the Warriors may easily win five in a row.

Zhou Xuan decided to give himself a day off to go out to have fun and relax. No more practice shooting or passing. However, on Thursday, Nie Yuyan has to attend classes and participate in activities. This is quite a headache, although the two started dating nominally, the time is always not together.

Nie Yuyan doesn't have to study very hard, as long as she makes up enough credits to graduate, but there are a lot of activities.

The most American extracurricular content for students is to participate in community activities. The community has a rich week of activities, including visiting banks and police stations, learning how to make bread, going to the hospital to care for the sick, cleaning up garbage at the lake, and contracting a section of the lake's embankment. Almost all students will serve in various volunteer organizations in the community, such as hospitals, libraries, Boy Scouts, Red Cross and many other companies are actively organizing and providing various volunteer opportunities with the intention of training the next generation, which is very popular. In the activity, the young people not only got in touch with the society, gave love, but also made many friends. Nie Yuyan didn't want to be special, so she also participated, and she was going to cook for the homeless at the local homeless shelter. It's a way to experience life, and if she's not always engaged, it's easy for her classmates to exclude her from the group.

The two had already discussed when they talked on the phone, if Zhou Xuan went to accompany her to the reception center to cook, it would definitely be in the news, and it would make Nie Yuyan famous because of it, she wanted to keep a low profile, so she wouldn't go on a date tomorrow.

After turning off the TV and thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xuan remembered that a radio station had invited him to do a program before, and his attitude was very sincere, why don't you go to the radio station tomorrow.
