"Guys! The coalition penalty came down. Kirtlambis walked into the locker room with a report.

"Dale Davis was fined $2,000 for two technical fouls. Antonio Davis was fined $3,000 and banned for five games. ”

"Big Ben created a conflict on the pitch, violated the rules and entered the playing field from the bench, disrupting order. A penalty of $3,000 and a three-game ban will be imposed. ”

"Bruce no penalty? I heard that Reggie Miller has a torn ankle ligament and needs to rest for 4-8 weeks. ”

"Bruce is fine, no penalty. His defensive league didn't find out the problem! ”

"We need a toast to this!" Campbell pours a glass of Gatorade.

"Cheers!" The players laughed, expecting the league's penalties to be much more severe.

It's the second day after the Pacers game, and the game between the Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers is about to kick off.

The news of the alliance has undoubtedly made an explanation for the Lakers, and Larry Brown, who has made the means, can be described as a blessing and a disaster. Miller's injury will take 1-2 months to recover, and Miller will miss about half of the regular season.

This is a very big blow for the Pacers, with the absence of the team's boss and the departure of the team's offensive endpoint almost declaring them hopeless from the top four in the East.

This left Larry Brown frustrated. Not to mention that there is also Antonio Davis in the team who will be banned for five games.

Larry Brown filed a complaint and was lost.

This is a warning from the league to the Pacers, old guy, please don't play with fire.

There were three egregious and hurtful acts in one game, which is outrageous.

"Guys, get ready for today's game!"

"Good coach!"

...

In this game, the Lakers, who are first in the West, are about to face the Portland Trail Blazers, who are fifth in the West.

The current Lakers are 20-3 and the Trail Blazers are 15-7.

The Trail Blazers are undoubtedly a playoff-caliber powerhouse, especially their interior line, consisting of Avidas Sabonis and Rashid Wallace.

The two have a super long range, can attack and defend well, and have an inside line with a one-handed pass. They have a very flexible tactical choice and a strong penalty area defense.

In this day and age, the defense of the penalty area must be a top priority.

And the excellent range makes it very easy for their high-low tactics to work.

Sabonis and Rashid can stand high and can press to the basket. The two of them built the team's tactical system, and although they may not have the most shots and the most balls, the two of them are the soul of this team.

Portland Trail Blazers' starting lineup: PG: Kenny Anderson, SG, Isaiah Ryder, SF, Cleverd Robinson, PF, Rashid Wallace, C, Arvidas, Sabonis.

The team's leading scorer is their point guard, the 1.83-meter Kenny Anderson, the No. 2 pick in '91, who averaged 17.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 4.5 three-point attempts and hit 1.6 shots per game this season, with a 36.1% three-point shooting percentage. There is no doubt that this is a top-notch point guard with range, breakout, and organization.

Isaiah Ryder, No. 5 pick in '93. The 1.96-meter shooting guard just signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Trail Blazers this summer. In the second season of his career, he played an All-Star statistic of 20.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists, and this season he averaged 4 fewer shots per game, and efficiently played 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

This is a player with All-Star qualities, but is willing to play a supporting role.

Clifford Robinson, a 2.08-meter big All-Star caliber small forward. Before this season, four consecutive three-tier players played an average of 20+6+3 per game. Named an All-Star for the '93-94 season. Iron Man Kozen, almost never missed a game. He is extremely athletic, shooting 37.8 percent from three-point range and averaging 2.3 from the field.

Rasheed Wallace, '95, was last year's No. 4 pick. 2.11 meters tall, with excellent defense and delicate skills. A one-handed shot is very difficult to defend. He finished with 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 55.8 percent shooting this season, and everyone believes he has unlimited potential to tap into, and he is a rising star among the league's power forwards.

Avidas Sabonis, Lithuania's national treasure center.

Sabonis won the 1988 Olympic title with the Soviet Union and went on to lead Lithuania to bronze medals in 1992 and 1996. Sabonis played for Kaunas at home and then for a year with Soviet champions Spartak Moscow, and when he was allowed to play abroad, he spent six more brilliant seasons in Spain, winning many accolades and being named six European Player of the Year and two European Basketball of the Year.

He joined the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers in the 1995-1996 season. On the one hand, all the veterans from Europe have 100% reverence for this guy, whose tall body is covered with countless glorious legends.

On the other hand, this big guy's head is twice as big as the head of an average center, and the thick pads wrapped around his knees make his legs twice as thick as the others. With his speed, it's like a tractor entering F1. The Trailblazers' managers are quite cautious. They had lost Drexler the year before, and after seeing him win the championship, there was nothing left to lose.

The funny thing was the All-Star Weekend in 1996. The 31-year-old Sabonis competed in the All-Star Rookie Game, becoming the oldest All-Star Rookie Game member in history. Compared to the McDyce and Stackhouse around him, he is like an unearthed artifact.

If he came to the American professional basketball team in his heyday, would it have a shocking impact on the world pattern similar to that of a visitor from outside the world? He didn't have the amazing visual impact of Chamberlain's push, but he was familiar with the art of winning and what it takes to win a basketball game.

The Portland Trail Blazers also have Gary Trent, the No. 11 pick in '95, a 2.03-meter small forward who can contribute 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds off the bench this season.

This is the aircraft carrier built by Portland owner Paul Allen, and there are no holes in the five positions, and they are just one step away from a championship-level team.

It's bound to be an uphill battle.

"The game is about to start, enjoy it, kids!" Rambis blew the horn of battle.

Lakers players poured into the tunnel in turn.

"Hi guys. Win this game, take the win, and go to Chicago! ”

"Yes!"

"Victory!"
