Portland International Airport is packed, and it seems that Wayne is not the only one who came from out of town to attend today's Fan Day.

The Portland Trail Blazers at this time were a popular team.

Although the Trail Blazers were only in ancient times, both Bill. During the Wharton era, he won 1 championship.

Although they have never made it to the finals since '92, they have missed out on Michael in the draft. Jordan became the laughing stock of people.

But one fact that many people don't know is that the Trail Blazers have appeared in the playoffs for 21 consecutive years since 1982!

This record of consecutive playoff appearances is not only the first in the NBA, but also the second in the entire North American sports league.

As a traditional powerhouse, the Trail Blazers' popularity in Portland is naturally high.

Walking down the streets of Portland, you'll see fans wearing Trail Blazers T-shirts everywhere.

There are several giant billboards in the center of the city, all of which are hung with posters for the new season of the Trail Blazers.

As soon as Wayne and Cody got off the plane, they headed straight for their goal.

Just on the plane, they had already eaten the plane meal. So after arriving, the two didn't hang out, and took a taxi directly to the home court of the Trail Blazers.

Portland is close to the Pacific Ocean, with cold, wet and rainy winters and hot, dry summers.

This climate is ideal for growing roses.

That's why Portland is dotted with a variety of rose plantations, large and small, and a rose festival is held every June.

The home court of the Trail Blazers has thus had a very romantic name - Rose Garden.

Wayne has always thought that it would be a foolish thing for the future Trail Blazers to change the name of their home stadium to Moda Center because they sold the naming rights to the stadium.

Upon arriving at the Rose Garden, Wayne was completely mesmerized by the spectacular scene in front of him.

The large stadium with a dense crowd of shouting fans was the kind of big battle Wayne had only seen before during military training reviews.

In addition to the fans, there are also cheerleaders and mascots at the entrance of the stadium.

Wayne wasn't interested in any of that, but Cody next to him smiled contentedly......

The atmosphere was very joyful, but in the shouting crowd, Wayne also heard a lot of swearing.

"We need real players, not a bunch of thugs!"

"This team is simply renamed the Portland Jail Team, these players are unreasonable!"

"Pippen and Sabonis are gone, but none of the people who should have left are gone!"

"If you can't even manage your own players, how can we expect the team to play well?"

Obviously, not all the fans who came to the Rose Garden were so friendly.

Some people gather here just to vent their frustrations.

Speaking of which, the name "Portland Prison Team" did begin to rise during this period.

Later, many Trail Blazers fans even directly referred to the period of 95-03 as the "prison era" in the history of the Trail Blazers.

During this period, although the Trail Blazers' record is still reasonable, the relationship between the team and the fans has been tense to the extreme due to the constant troubles off the court.

It's no wonder that the team made this fan meeting so sensational.

The team's general manager, Steve Brown, who only took over this summer. Patterson is working to rebuild the team's image, and to that end they even picked Travis in this year's draft. Outlaw - A striker with an exaggerated ability to bounce

Of course, more importantly, he is the son of a police officer, a good man who has been law-abiding since he was a child.

And this huge fan meeting must also be one of Patterson's means to save the team's image.

"Let's go Wayne, let's get inside." After all, it wasn't the first time Cody had experienced this kind of scene, and he took Wayne around the crowd and walked to what resembled a VIP passage.

At the entrance of the passage, two strong men in suits and sunglasses were guarding. They are dressed as agents from a movie.

Wayne hurriedly pinched the ticket in his hand in advance, and Cody walked up to the two of them before he took the ticket out of his coat pocket and shook it.

Although Cody thinks he looks handsome just now, the attention of the two "agents" falls on Wayne alone.

His height of 2.11 meters is really dazzling!

Walking into the inside of the rose garden, there are many fewer people in an instant, and the surroundings are not so crowded.

After all, tickets aren't that easy to get.

If it weren't for Cody's uncle working here, Wayne would probably be out screaming right now.

The fan meeting was held in Rose Garden's No. 1 training hall, and as soon as Wayne and Cody walked in with their front feet, the Trail Blazers players entered with their back feet.

Suddenly, screams rang out from the training hall. Although there were not many people who could enter, the small training ground was still crammed to the brim.

The fans standing in the middle of the crowd were desperately squeezing forward, or standing on tiptoe, hoping to see outside.

But Wayne didn't have such troubles, the good vision was so convenient, and no one on the scene could stop him.

The Trail Blazers players laughed and waved to the fans in the stadium and stopped to sign autographs from time to time.

Although now, these players seem to be all amiable.

But looking at those faces, Wayne frowned.

Oh my god, it's no wonder the Trail Blazers have been called a prison team for a few years, and it's no wonder that some fans outside are so angry.

Look at these masters, they are not fuel-efficient lamps at all!

Rashid at the forefront. Wallace, nicknamed "Roaring Tianzun".

The biggest concern for Trail Blazers fans in every game is not that he doesn't play well, but that he will brainlessly request a technical foul for himself.

41 technical fouls in a single season, just ask who else.

A few years ago, it was he who threw the towel directly in the face of the old-timer Sabonis after the loss, causing Sabonis to leave the Trail Blazers in anger.

In addition to the game, Wallace was also in trouble off the pitch.

Last season, when Wallace was searched by police on the highway for speeding, the police found that he had a big horse hidden in his Humvee, and Wallace was caught on the spot and banned from the league for seven games.

And this is not the first time Wallace has made trouble in all these years because of poison.

Behind Wallace, "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon. Stoudemire bared his white teeth, and the former Rookie of the Year winner looked like a full-name idol.

But don't be fooled by his appearance and size, this one has no less glorious deeds.

Last season, Stoudemire and the head coach fell out completely, and the Trail Blazers' already messy locker room became even more smoky.

Of course, the big thing, the "little flying squirrel" is not less involved.

On the other side, Zach with a baby face. Randolph even got into a big fight with his team-mates in training last season. That guy was an out-and-out bastard until he settled in Memphis.

At this time, he was taking a photo with the young fans, and Ruben, who called himself "Kobe Killer". Patterson, it is said that no one in the locker room likes him because his temper is just too hot.

Most of the villains on the court are hot-tempered with their opponents, and Patterson is extremely unfriendly even to his teammates, and he is the one who even hits his teammates when he gets angry.

It was this "great man" who fought with Randolph on the training ground last season.

Of course, how can you forget that he was also accused of rapping his own family's nanny......

Rest such as Bunch. Wells, Jeff. McGinnis and others are not good stubble.

Strong X, poison leveling, violence, locker room conflicts...... For almost every type of scandal, you'll find an exemplary representative in the Trail Blazers.

"It's excellent, this lineup is really amazing." Wayne wiped his sweat, he didn't know how much iron the former general manager of the Trail Blazers had to dare to get these masters together to play.

The point is that the Trail Blazers can still make the playoffs every year in the West where there are many strong players, and there is no excuse for wanting to rebuild......

Of course, everyone on the Trail Blazers today is dressed in suits and well-behaved, and they don't look like the usual court thugs at all.

After all, this event was originally held by the team in order to rectify the team's image and shorten the distance with the fans.

The players are well aware of that, so no one messes around.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Trail Blazers' "jailers" walked to the center of the court and said a few nice words in the official tone to look forward to the new season.

Finally, when Trail Blazers coach Morris. As Cheeks spoke, Wayne found that in the middle of nowhere, Rashid. Wallace gave himself a look.

After the two looked at each other for a second, Wallace had an unsettling smile on his face.

Wayne was a little uncomfortable being stared at, but his height was indeed no way to escape, it was too dazzling, and he couldn't keep a low profile.

"Okay, so now, it's time for everyone to look forward to the most! Let's see which lucky ones will get the chance to compete with the players! ”

After the Trail Blazers coach said this, the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

The most special part of this fan meeting officially kicked off.

The Trail Blazers will field Stoudemire, Randolph and Wallace, with each of them picking a lucky fan to play five one-on-one games.

This kind of activity is very common in the NBA, and many players appear on the field court to interact with fans during the offseason.

But this is the first time the Trail Blazers have tried to do this in a fan meeting.

Stoudemire picked a young fan as his opponent, and Randolph picked one of Portland's most famous local street players.

When it was Wallace's turn, the "Roaring Celestial" stared straight at Wayne.

"I've been watching you for a long time, boy, just you!"

Wallace said, hooking his finger at Wayne.

Wayne's height, this time "hurt" him.

"Yay! It's really you! I'll just say you have a good chance of being chosen, hahahaha! Go Wayne, play against NBA players, isn't that what you've always dreamed of!? ”

The moment Wayne was chosen, Cody climaxed and pushed Wayne out directly.

Wallace looked at Wayne with a grin, as if he had found fun.

Wayne immediately became nervous, although he had been on the training pitch this past week. Aaron made a move.

But Mr. Tony is just an NCAA player now, no matter how much he says about it.

The current Wallace is a fake NBA All-Star level!

Last season, he averaged 18.1 points per game.

"Come on, boy, let me see if you're tall." Wallace put his arms around Wayne's neck, "I don't pick on the weak, show some strength, let me not be so boring, okay?" ”

This Nima, is it still intimidating?

Wayne was a little overwhelmed, and at this time, the system interface suddenly popped up.

It's time for the mission!
