Judging from the history of the last ten years, the Trail Blazers can definitely be called a strong team. Although the squad and members of this team have undergone a massive turnover since the beginning of the century, the results are not as brilliant as in the 90s. But the Trail Blazers also seem to have rarely stepped back from their position as a "powerhouse in the West."

Of course, this year in Greg. Oden season reimbursement, Brandon. Roy played a few games and then took an indefinite break again due to knee soreness. The Portland Trail Blazers are now a second-rate team at best.

But even so, I am 100% sure that I will win the Trailblazers. You know, the Dallas Mavericks have never been a giant, and they have also lost their star of the game.

But now it is pointless to talk about how brilliant the past results were. The Trail Blazers are still a second-tier team, and the Mavericks, who lost Nowitzki, are considered by the media to be slightly weaker when facing the Trail Blazers, even though the Mavericks are now ranked much ahead of the Trail Blazers......

Of course, it is not entirely unreasonable for journalists to think so. In the five games in which the team lost Nowitzki, the Mavericks won just two of them. Moreover, in these 5 games, the Mavericks even lost to the Raptors, who are at the bottom of the league, and lost Brandon. Jennings' bucks. If it weren't for the timely meeting of the Cavaliers, who are aiming to lose more, maybe the Mavericks' losing streak would not have stopped so quickly.

Under this series of thorny questions, Carlisle has recently become a favorite among journalists.

'It was difficult for us to lose Dirk but I'm sure the lads won't be intimidated by that. As for you asking me about the result of tonight's game, I'm sorry, I really don't know what the game will be, so I don't have anything to say. Squeezing out of the pile of reporters, Carlisle walked briskly into the dressing room. Originally, I just went to the car to look for the glasses I forgot to bring down, but I was caught by reporters.

Closing the locker room door, Carlisle felt his ears calm down for a moment. Looking at the players who were seriously wearing the equipment in front of him, the academy coach felt very pleased. At a time when the whole world thought that the Mavericks would continue to lose, at least they themselves had not given up.

"Boss, everybody's well prepared." At this time, Nowitzki, who was in a suit, walked up to Carlisle with a crutch. Although the German was able to rest at home during the injury, he continued to be there for all home games. With Dirk here, even if it's just sitting on the sidelines, the Mavericks players will feel more at ease.

"Hmm...... It's not a good game today, Dirk. Carlisle didn't hide his worries, even though he was full of hunger for victory. But the NBA is not a place where you can survive just by desire.

"LaMarcus?" Nowitzki also guessed Carlisle's concerns.

"Who else?" Carlisle smiled wryly, put on his glasses, and began to write and draw on the board.

Nowitzki's absence also means that the Mavericks don't have a single player on their roster who can match Aldridge right now.

Today, when Oden and Roy are both falling rapidly, Aldridge, the 06-year-old rookie, has played his own value and made the Trail Blazers see hope.

This season, Aldridge's scoring average has risen to a career-high .8 points per game. And even against Nowitzki in the last meeting, Aldridge scored 35 points. Today, Nowitzki is out injured and God knows how many points that guy can score.

If Carlisle uses Petro and others to make a cameo in the number four, then Aldridge's footwork can allow him to break through the defense with ease. If Cardinal and Marion are allowed to play the number four position, it will be too much of a loss in terms of height.

But Carlisle didn't have a choice, and that's why Carlisle was anxious about this game. Although those media are annoying, they have to admit it. The Mavericks' chances of winning today are really not big!

On the other side, in the away locker room of the American Route Center Arena, the Trail Blazers players were yelling one by one, full of murderous energy.

The Trail Blazers have just won two in a row after losing Roy, which has certainly given them a lot of confidence. And Aldridge hasn't forgotten how he lost the last time he scored 35 points.

After that fight, Aldridge told himself he had to win it back next time. Now, it's time to win it back!

"Hit the ball inside and hit LaMarcus more! Remember what we were training with, and today, we're going to take Dallas! "Nate. McMillan waved the marker in his hand and yelled at the player. At the moment he does not look like a coach at all, but like a general who boosts morale on the battlefield.

For a team like the Trail Blazers, teetering on the brink of the playoffs, every game win counts. Since the team refuses to completely rebuild, then use the victory to bring the Trail Blazers back on track!

"Roar!" The Trail Blazers players responded to their coach's request with a loud roar, and Aldridge, who is usually quiet and quiet, roared the loudest. Today, the Germans are not here, and they will rule the whole field!

On the basketball court, the reporters have already set up "long guns and short guns", waiting for the players on both sides to warm up. Mougins stood under the basketball hoop and looked out into the players' tunnel, but there was no one to be seen.

"What are you worried about, Brother Mu, it's still early for the game to start." Next to Mougins, a colleague stabbed Mougin, who stretched out his neck with his elbow.

Mougins looked at his watch, indeed, it was a long time before the start of the game, and the players usually didn't warm up so quickly. For some reason, Mougins feels more nervous than the Trail Blazers players right now.

Because if this game can't be won, the Mavericks will have a bigger burden when they face teams such as the Thunder and Magic in the future. If you don't do it, it's another series of defeats.

It can be said that whether this game is played well or not will set the tone for the Mavericks' future progression. So, the importance of this game is actually beyond the imagination of many people.

Mougins naturally doesn't want the Mavericks to experience consecutive defeats, and after Yiyang joined the Mavericks, many Chinese fans regarded this as their home team, and Mougins was no exception. Who wants to see their team lose?

"I'm a little worried that the Mavericks are now in the No. 4 position, and it's really empty. And the strong point of the Trail Blazers is precisely the No. 4 position. Mougins took a deep breath and relaxed himself slightly.

"What's there to worry about, didn't the Mavericks win last time." Mougins' peers replied disapprerovingly.

"But, last time, the Mavericks had Dirk."

"Have you forgotten Brother Mu, the last time the two sides fought, Nowitzki was almost blown up by Aldridge. He allowed Aldridge to score 35 points on 53 percent shooting, and today, Aldridge's scoring and shooting percentage couldn't be more exaggerated. And that day, Dirk was also completely suppressed on the offensive end. In the end, it was Yiyang's 23 points, 10 assists and 4 steals and key performances in the last 30 seconds that allowed the Mavericks to win by 4 points. The bespectacled reporter said in a colorful voice, and it seems that in the game a month ago, Yiyang's performance left a deep impression on him.

"You mean ......"

"I mean, the last time the Mavericks won against the Trail Blazers, it wasn't the Germans, it was Yiyang. So today, just wait to see the show. Mougin's colleague winked at him, and just then, someone walked out of the tunnel.

Mougins and the surrounding reporters immediately raised their cameras, and the "click" shutter sound completely surrounded the area.

As always, Yiyang was still the first to step onto the court and start warming up. He first pressed his leg on the court and did some preparatory activities before he began to pick up the basketball and shoot.

These good habits were developed by Yiyang as early as when Stevens was playing. And this is also the basic guarantee that Yiyang has always been very healthy.

Two minutes later, from the player's tunnel at the other end of the pitch, a guy in a training uniform also came out. The lanky player ignored Yiyang and started shooting to warm up on his own.

"Aldridge arrived so early today!" Reporters all pointed to the other half of the muttering, the last game against the Rockets Aldridge cut a double-double of 25 points and 11 rebounds in one fell swoop, which can be described as just right. Judging from the performance in the warm-up today, Aldridge's hand is still very hot.

At this point, there were already licensed reporters entering the stadium and starting to interview the players. In the stands, more and more fans wearing Mavericks blue T-shirts also took their seats.

Mougins took a deep breath and seemed to smell a thick smell of gunsmoke.

Two silent guys who don't even want to look at each other could dedicate a restless frenzy to the fans......

Didn't the Germans win? Well, it's up to you to perform, Yiyang! 8)
