On the night McMillan was identified as having a torn Achilles tendon, the Trail Blazers announced that general manager Pritchard would also serve as interim head coach for the Trail Blazers.

Pritchard had previously coached the Trail Blazers for a while, and after a few years, he had to return to coaching.

Trail Blazers head coach Mike McMillan was injured in the internal matchup, and the news spread quickly.

The outside world expressed miserable "pity" for the pioneers.

The Trail Blazers may be the most injured team in NBA history.

ESPN has a special show to talk about the Trail Blazers' injuries.

The theme of the show is "When will the Trailblazers' "Injury Curse" be resolved? The 5 stars have fallen, and the coach has not been spared! 》

They focused on the Trail Blazers' all-time injury curse.

The head coach can tear his Achilles tendon in a training game, and the strange thing can happen in Portland.

This also made Evans, who came from Portland, despair and said: "The city has been hit by injuries again, and the Trail Blazers are finished!" ”

"If you look at the history of the Trail Blazers, you can find that this team has been hit by injuries since its history, and Portland is actually a "wounded city". ”

"Portland is a city that even Jordan can give up."

"In the 1984 NBA draft, the Trail Blazers, who had the top pick, did not choose Michael after the Rockets drafted Olajuwon, a center from the University of Houston, with the top pick. Jordan, they chose Sam, who is 2.16 meters tall from the University of Kentucky?? Bowe, the Chicago Bulls selected Jordan with the 3rd pick. A few years later, the "Flyers" wearing the No. 23 jersey brought Chicago six championship trophies, while Bowe, who was selected by Portland, lay in a hospital bed early to recover from an injury, and his entire career was inactive. ”

"The reason why Portland is a "wounded city" is directly related to the vision of management. After choosing Bowe to give up Jordan to become a laughing bing, they should have learned their lesson, but unexpectedly, a similar mistake was repeated by the Portlanders. In the 2007 draft, Durant was not selected, but Oden, who had been injured in college, was selected, and the Trail Blazers also tasted the pain of injury again. ”

"It's a sad place for a big center."

"In the history of the Trail Blazers, there are many examples of big men falling in Portland, in addition to Bowey and Oden, there is also one of the NBA's legendary centers, Beal?? Walton. ”

In the 1974 draft, Walton, who was the best player in the nation three years in a row, was selected by the Trail Blazers with the top pick. He played three years with the Trail Blazers and had great results, helping the team win the 1977 championship and win the Finals MVP. But during his five years with the Trail Blazers, he was plagued by injuries, especially in his final year with the team, injuring his left foot and right arm, and missing all of the 1978-1979 season. After repeated injuries, Wharton turned his anger on the team doctor, who repeatedly publicly blasted the Trail Blazers team doctor as a bad guy and said he wanted to be traded to another team. In May 1979, Wharton signed a seven-year, $7 million contract with his hometown team, the San Diego Clippers. ”

In addition, the legendary European center Sabonis, known as the "Roof of the World", was also hit by injuries when he played for the Trail Blazers. The Lithuanian star spent seven seasons with the Trail Blazers, during which time he suffered injuries to his knee and Achilles tendon and arm, which affected his performance. ”

"Even though the Trail Blazers are still injured, they haven't given up, and Paul Allen doesn't believe in the curse."

"The Trail Blazers have been at the top of the pack with injuries this season, with Roy missing 17 games, Fernandes 15, Batum 28, Oden 20, Pulzbilla 16, and so far this season, they have nine players out due to injury, and even now, their head coach has fallen"

"In the Trail Blazers, the big boss Paul was just diagnosed with cancer this year?? Allen's argument that Portland is a "wounded city" is incorrect, and he said in an interview last night that he thinks not only the Trail Blazers are suffering from injuries, but other teams as well. "If someone pushes this issue together, I can't help it, anyway, I don't believe it." Allen said, "The medical care we provide to our players is top-notch, the doctors are top-notch, and with so much competition in the NBA, how can players stay healthy forever?" ””

"Although Allen continues to support the team, many fans still believe in the existence of this curse, no way, Allen was also diagnosed with cancer this year."

"Fortunately for the Trail Blazers, Roy and Xue Ding are still playing in the team dream."

"Pray, they stay healthy."

…..

At the same time as the ESPN program was broadcast.

Pritchard also held a player meeting at the first time.

The reason for the overnight meeting was due to Aldridge's Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome in a heart check-up, and Aldridge will be off for at least a week starting tomorrow.

This is a huge blow to the Trail Blazers, who have to draw two players from the Development League to make up the number of registrations, otherwise they may not even be able to play at any time.

Now they only have 7 players who can play normally, only 6 main starters and rotations, and an injured Roy in the middle.

Xue Ding and Roy and the others reworked with Pritchard and the assistant coaches to reformulate the next battle plan.

The Trail Blazers have just suffered a losing streak on the road.

And the next game of the Trail Blazers is a strong opponent.

The Los Angeles Lakers will take on the Rose Garden Arena on the road.

This game is the focus of the nation.

As everyone knows.

The Lakers have a Rose Garden curse, and Kobe Bryant himself has left countless memories in the Rose Garden.

There were double lore Trailblazers back then, and of course there were more of them with constant fiascos.

Bryant is 6-24 here, and the Lakers have 8-29 here in the last 18 seasons, and this is the city they have lost the most!!

By this afternoon, the Lakers had already arrived at the Trail Blazers.

Hear bad news from the Trailblazers one after another.

Kobe Bryant said at the first time: "Good luck to them, but this is our chance, it's going to drive me crazy to play here, so we have to urgently end this embarrassing record, and everyone has to cheer up." ”

The LA reporter who accompanied the team also laughed at himself: "Maybe the Lakers should stay in Los Angeles, they shouldn't come to Portland." ”

Lakers center Andrew Bynum doesn't believe in the Rose Garden curse.

Bynum said: "I think it's the fans at their home stadium who give them a huge amount of energy. Every year the Trail Blazers beat us with devolving balls, and the dribble defense was our weakest link. We need to change that. ”

Gasol also said: "Tomorrow we will end the record of not being able to win big in Portland. ”

Zen Master Jackson said, "OMG, Nate is also injured, I hope they have good luck, but tomorrow we will not show mercy." ”

Artest, who was repeatedly humiliated by Xue Ding in the last match, said: "Tomorrow I will blow up that Chinese rookie." ”

After interviewing the players at the hotel, the LA reporter broke out the Lakers' starting list for tomorrow from the assistant coach.

"Kobe, Odom, Artest, Gasol, Bynum"

In response to this list, a Chinese reporter commented: "The Lakers have played with the Trail Blazers on the cards. ”
