30th, Portland.

As the most money-burning team in the entire league during this period......

Don't blow it up, even if it's James Dolan, who is responsible for providing "activity funding" to the league in the future......

In front of Paul Allen, he can only recognize a younger brother.

This season, if you look at the salary statistics of each team in the league, you can see that the total salary of the Trail Blazers is so dazzling.

You know, the NBA salary cap at this time is just over 40 million......

However, the total salary of the pioneers is as high as 70 million+ US dollars.

Look, what is called arrogant, what is called Pingyi approach?

To quote ESPN, it is:

The total salary of this Trail Blazers team can almost feed two Raptors.

Of course, compared to the future "money and stupid" Knicks......

Although the current Trail Blazers have the highest total salary in the league, in terms of this season's record, they are indeed the top team in the West second only to the Lakers.

And the only thing that is a little different from the pioneer in Su Feng's memory may be that this pioneer team is, in a sense, stronger than the pioneer in the same period of history in his memory.

Because in the summer, there were some surprises in the team's peddling of Ryder, which caused the Hawks, who originally planned to trade Steve Smith with the Trail Blazers, to doubt Ryder's character......

So, after some difficult negotiations with Mike Dunleavy, the Trail Blazers finally had to trade Brian Grant and Greg Anthony back for Smith.

In this way, putting aside the instability of the team, Su Feng feels that the lineup structure of this Trailblazers is more complete.

Because although Grant is a capable drop-out power forward, there is another player of his type on the Trail Blazers named ......

Rashid Wallace.

In Su Feng's previous life, the ghost knows how many players with overlapping roles the Trailblazers had on the inside during this period.

So, Mike Dunleavy didn't know that the two trades he made this summer, one that he thought was a big profit, was actually a loss, and the other that he thought was a big loss, but it was actually earned.

And this may ......

It's the so-called fate.

Rose Garden Arena.

After the players of the two teams warmed up, the big screen on the scene gave the start of the two teams tonight.

Raptors: Big Ben, Little Ao, Su Feng, Carter, Maddie.

Trail Blazers: Sabonis, Wallace, Pippen, Smith, Stoudemire.

Judging from the lineup, this Trail Blazers is indeed a luxurious match.

Because in addition to the five King Kongs who started the game, on their bench, there are also strong players such as Schramf, Ryder, and Bunch Wells.

In addition, there are two shark hackers Williams and Bryant that the Raptors helped the Trail Blazers in the summer.

In short, compared to a few years from now......

Paul Allen was relatively lucky during this period.

Because of him at this time, the money has been spent, and he can still hear it.

But wait a few years......

Paul Allen had to keep getting bad news from the team doctor and the court.

"Hey, today's game is interesting.

If I remember correctly, after the '97/'98 season, when Stoudemire was trying to leave the Raptors......

It was a cry, a fuss, and three hangings, and finally forced the Raptors to send it to Portland.

But who would have thought, good guys, turn your head and the Raptors will become champions next year. Datianchao TV, when doing the pre-game preview, Director Zhang couldn't help but complain.

"So that's what we often call creation and man.

Perhaps Stoudemire himself could not have imagined that after his departure, the Raptors would become the most popular team in the entire NBA the following year. On the side, Director Sun also echoed.

"Li'er is this Li'er, even Stoudemire himself must not be convinced.

After all, you became the champion as soon as I left, so doesn't that mean that there was something wrong with my choice and judgment at that time? Director Zhang smiled.

But then again, the Trail Blazers and Raptors are really two teams with a lot of connections.

Because Jermaine O'Neal, who is currently playing for the Raptors, was traded back by the Raptors in a trade this summer. Director Sun said.

"That's why I said it was an interesting game, because both O'Neill Jr. and Stoudemire definitely want to prove themselves through this fight." Director Zhang said.

Listen, what is the most professional commentary?

To be reasonable, that is, Su Feng couldn't hear the explanation of the Great Heavenly Dynasty TV Station, otherwise he would definitely call Zhang an expert.

Because of this game, as early as the pre-game warm-up, Su Feng felt Stoudemire's high fighting spirit from the next half.

It's a pity......

In basketball, sometimes it's not easy to have a fighting spirit.

On the court, after Sabonis jumped his first attack for the Trail Blazers, and faced Maddie, who was a few sizes older than him, Stoudemire quickly felt the world's malice towards him.

Because I think back then, when Maddie first joined the league......

In the Raptors, it was Maddie who was responsible for carrying the bag for Stoudemire.

However, times have changed.

Maddie now, that's not what it used to be.

In the high position, Stoudemire, who was completely covered by Maddie, almost made a mistake.

Because he knew that Stoudemire's finishing rate under the basket was not high, Maddie directly took a close hand at him tonight.

Anyway, even if it was given by this "little flying squirrel", it would be fine.

Because after the breakthrough of this product, nine times out of ten, it will either help the board or throw the pot.

On the field, after a few moments of wit with Maddie, Stoudemire unsurprisingly distributed the ball to the hands of the wing Pippen.

I have to say......

Although Pi Erye has left the bull, as an excellent pot picker, it is obvious that he has not forgotten his own job.

Of course, ridicule is ridicule, on the court, when facing against Pi Erye, Su Feng did not have the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy.

Because of this life, because he accepted the advice of the "old rascal" in the 97/98 season, Pippen, who was not bound by a foot injury, was not the salary burden in Su Feng's original time and space.

This season, Pippen, who averaged 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, is definitely worthy of his whopping annual salary of 7.5 picos, both in terms of statistics and court performance.

It's just that......

After Pi Erye proved that he could still play again and again, the pressure on the Bulls management was greater......

Because where could Klaus and Reinsdorf think that Jordan and Pippen would be able to join forces to slap the Bulls in the face even if they left the Bulls?

On the court, this attack, Pippen showed his experienced side.

In the face of Su Feng's defense, Pi Er Ye first shook backwards, and then turned directly in the opposite direction, completing an extremely difficult turn and leaning back.

Hmmm——!

0 to 2.

It is worth mentioning that after scoring the goal, perhaps out of jealousy of Su Feng's various "show of affection" with Jordan last season......

It may also be because of the resentment that Su Feng is currently known as the league's No. 1 small forward, in short, Pi Erye was so excited that he almost hammered his chest.

"So you're the NBA's No. 1 small forward?

What a joke! ”

As we all know, English is broad and profound, so after translating it in Chinese, when retreating, Pippen wanted to express Su Feng with this is probably what he meant.

However, just when Pippen thought that his words would be very heart-wrenching......

He noticed that Su Feng's expression was not only not angry at all, but even ......

He even showed himself a smile full of "kindness"!

At this moment, Pippen felt that Su Feng's brain must be Watt.

Because for Pippen, who is familiar with Su Feng's calculating personality......

Su Feng, who is so rational, is not Su Feng at all.

All right......

Maybe Su Feng back then, after being rectified by Pippen for a few sentences, he would have returned it with trash talk a long time ago.

But for Su Feng, who has long since gotten rid of the low-level interest of trash talk, at this moment, he just wants to say to Pippen:

Scotty, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still the same Scottie you were back then.

On the court, the Raptors attacked, according to the tactics formulated before the game, this ball Maddie handed the ball to O'Neal Jr. after half time, and the cute iron-blooded bubble dragon organized the offense.

Tonight, in order to help O'Neal Jr. build his confidence, Davis also developed a reasonable set of sewer tactics for him.

Because of his long-range striking ability, O'Neal, who holds the ball in the high post, can easily pull the Trail Blazers' interior line out.

On the field, with Su Feng's ghostly figure suddenly activated, in an instant, Pippen felt that his youth had returned.

Lo and behold, this nostalgic chase battle!

On the court, chasing Su Feng, who was jumping sideways repeatedly......

Not to mention how much Pippen wanted to give Su Feng an elbow.

Because Pippen never expected that after four years, the boy who almost slipped off his legs still hasn't changed at all......

Perhaps, this is the so-called not forgetting the original intention!

Knock ——!

In the penalty area, after using the reverse run to bypass Pi Erye, Su Feng, who received the backlash from O'Neill Jr., did not give Sabonis a chance to assist in defense.

Before the "roof of the world" returned to defense, Su Feng directly scored the ball with a dashing throw.

2 to 2.

"Hey, it's interesting for a Raptors today, it's actually O'Neal Jr. who went to a high position to respond." CCTV, Director Zhang said with a smile.

This also indirectly proves Su Feng's comprehensiveness.

Because he can not only play with the ball, but also without the ball, especially his running without the ball, it is the same for whoever passes the ball. On the side, Director Sun said.

Director Zhang: "......"

One thing to say, for Director Sun to be able to blow Su Feng this wave, Director Zhang never expected it.

And what terrified Director Zhang the most was ......

After thinking about it carefully, you can't find fault with Director Sun's remarks just now.

Because judging from the slow-motion playback, Su Feng's reversal just now is indeed a textbook.

On the court, for Su Feng to score points so easily, the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Dunleavy, was a little dissatisfied.

This season, the Trail Blazers have conceded an average of only 91.5 points per game, which is currently one of the best defensive teams in the league, so in Dunleavy's view, even if Su Feng wants to score points, he has to let him peel off his skin.

It's just that......

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, because the player who was in charge of defending Su Feng just now was Pippen, so even if Dunleavy had more dissatisfaction, he had to hold back first.

After all, as one of the thighs of this pioneer, he Pippen is no longer the hard-working Tie Hanhan of the past.

On the field, it was the Trail Blazers' turn to attack.

Similar to most traditional teams during this period, the Trail Blazers' primary scoring method was to play the offensive tempo.

In this attack, Stoudemire put the ball in Wallace's hands, wanting Wallace to educate O'Neal Jr., the former Trail Blazers water cooler administrator.

As a result, Stoudemire dared to pass the ball on the front foot, and on the back foot, Wallace was caught by the Raptors.

In desperation, Wallace had no choice but to split the ball.

And even though Smith hit a mid-range shot with no one on the wing, the Raptors players didn't seem to take it to heart.

In turn, the Raptors attacked, and this time O'Neal Jr. took the initiative to mention the high post to make a wall for Maddie.

Because O'Neal Jr. blocked the ball very well and dismantled it quite beautifully, Wallace had no choice but to wipe Stoudemire's ass.

On the court, after receiving a pass from Maddie, O'Neal Jr. did not hesitate and shot directly in the high position.

4 to 4.

Turning around, the pioneer took a position, and this time Pi Er Ye failed to chisel Su Feng.

And after Pippen's dry plucking is out of the way......

In the Raptors' restricted area, Big Ben and Carter stuck together and helped O'Neal Jr. easily pick up the rebound.

And at this moment, on the field, a scene appeared that surprised the fans of the Rose Garden Stadium......

Because of the Raptors, after picking up the rebound, O'Neal Jr. actually dribbled through the half court by himself!

And the most amazing thing is that in the face of Stoudemire's flying swoop, O'Neal Jr. actually left him behind with a back dribble.

"Roar, a dragon attack from Jermaine!

This is the Raptors, and you can never judge with common sense how their next attack will be! ”

TNT, seeing this, Smith exclaimed.

And on the court, after scoring 4 points in a row, he looked back at this group of teammates who trusted him immensely......

O'Neill Jr. feels like he's never been stronger than he was tonight.

If he continues to stay with the Trail Blazers, O'Neal Jr. knows that even if he plays another 500 games, he won't be able to play an offensive like the one just now.

But in the Raptors, he can not only play how he wants, but even if he doesn't play unrestrainedly, he will be despised by his teammates......

Especially tonight, when he learned about the tactics that Coach Davis tailored for himself before the game, O'Neal Jr. had an urge to die for his confidant.

"Relax, you're our protagonist tonight!"

In addition, before the start of this game, can you believe that Su Feng, the boss of this team and the first person on the outside of the NBA, is willing to come to be a green leaf for himself?

To be reasonable, this kind of fairy treatment tonight, even if it is an "old hooligan", I have not received it a few times.

Therefore, in O'Neal Jr.'s view, if he can't play a convincing performance in this game, then he can really just announce his retirement.

So, after looking up at the arena where he had been for three years......

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and while raising his hand and clenching his fist, he let out a roar that resounded through the dome!

Listen to me, people of Rose City!

Standing before you at this moment is:

Defending champion Toronto Raptors' No. 7 ......

Jermaine O'Neal!
