The score was forced to close, and the lead by double digits became just one point remaining. Scott's face was a little ugly. I really didn't expect that replacing Chandler would have such an effect.

"That guy ......" Paul muttered as he looked at Auden's back as he walked away, "It's really a big problem!" ”

Chandler sat on the sidelines and watched Oden toss and turn on the inside, his eyes were hot, and his fighting spirit was high, this rookie is really not an ordinary rookie, this is interesting!

"Wow! Uncle Ao, hello hanging! Aldridge saw Oden coming, got up from the bench, bumped Oden, and said exaggeratedly.

"Well done!" Roy shook hands with Auden, then touched his arm and said with a smile.

"Of course! How can you say that you can't do it if you want to kick their ass? Auden touched his head and said proudly: "Just the second half of the quarter, do you think I dick?" ”

Everyone: "Don't look at ......"

Byron. Scott drew the tactical board in his hand, and finally drew his weight to the penalty area, and said in a calm voice: "We let their interior play too easily!" The rebounds can be said to be completely controlled by them! ”

Scott pointed out the key to the team's passivity in the second half of the first quarter, but unfortunately, only Chandler, who was sitting on the bench, could entangle the team's interior players for a while.

"Rebound, rebound!" Scott slapped the tactical board in his hand and said to the players: "I need you to control the rebounds, control your rhythm, and play our game!" Tyson, I don't want to see that rookie get on scoring and grabbing rebounds! When necessary, just wrap it up! ”

"Leave it to me, sir! I'll scrap that damn noob and let him know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is in New Orleans! Tyson Chandler said, patting his chest.

The break passed quickly, and under the chatter of the coaches of both sides, the game was about to begin. At the manager's behest, the players began to come on the pitch, and as Scott expected, Oden sat on the bench to rest.

"Huh?" See Hornets main center Tyson. Chandler didn't play, and Trail Blazers head coach McMillan was a little surprised. Suddenly thinking of Oden's performance under Chandler's defense, and without Chandler's magical play, McMillan suddenly understood in his heart and showed a look of understanding.

"When the game came back, sure enough, the champion who performed well in the first quarter did not appear! The rookie with two pairs in the first quarter, this seems to be the first time I have seen such a performance since my commentary, which is really amazing! Cole praised it at the right time, and suddenly said to Smith with a smile: "Looks like the car is going to overturn, old driver!" ”

"Haha...... I'll just say, I'm very confident in the Trail Blazers, you don't know, I've seen the strength of that kid with my own eyes! Completely forgetting that he was forced to choose the Trail Blazers' Earl Charles, he was screaming again.

In the first two minutes of the second quarter, the score did not open again, and the scores of the two sides were still very anxious!

"How does it feel?" McMillan asked Oden, who was sitting next to him.

"Sir, you don't know, I feel so good right now, and my hands are itching!" Oden's heart moved, this is about to play.

Aldridge on the field was forced to play against David because of his defense. West makes a foul. This kind of defense at the expense of one or the other has already happened! McMillan has to admit that the rookie Champion Xiu who is sitting next to him now has helped the team's defense a lot!

"Oh? Then go for it! McMillan stood up, patted Auden on the shoulder, and said with a smile. Then apply for a substitution and will play on the field to the present Joel. Purzbilla. Joel, who scored 2 points and 2 rebounds, was quite qualified to survive Oden's rest time.

With Joel. Purzbila slapped his hands, Oden straightened his shirt and ran briskly over to stand at Hilton. Armstrong's side waited for David. West makes a free throw.

David. West took a deep breath, lifted the ball, made a shooting pose, aimed at the basket, and threw the ball. One penalty! West exhaled and clapped his hands with Paul and Morrison behind him, ready to execute the second free throw.

Taking advantage of the gap between free throws, the Hornets also put their team's main center, defensive gate Tyson. Chandler switched up.

After the substitutions were completed, the referee passed the ball to West. After receiving the ball, West took another deep breath, controlled the rhythm of his breathing, and threw the ball steadily.

No surprises! The ball crossed the air in a perfect arc and slid into the basket without sticking to the blade, hitting both free throws!

35：39！

The offensive touch of both teams is not very good, and the successive non-goals have put both teams into the rhythm of fighting defense. Without fast break and passionate bombing of the basket, the game fell into a dull situation, not only did the fans at the scene fall asleep, but even Barkley in the studio had little energy to taunt Smith.

Aldridge picks up the ball on the ground and throws it to Blake, who is not far away. Blake, who received the ball, threw it out in Aldridge's bewildered eyes.

"Oh, Shet!" Aldridge thought it was Blake's pass that was wide, and couldn't help but complain: "Brother! I think it's good that we can get past the front! ”

At this moment, there was a cheer from the court, and in the silent arena, the cheers on the Trail Blazers' bench became particularly harsh.

It turned out that Blake noticed that Oden unknowingly left the Hornets players behind, creating the perfect space area from the free-throw line to the basket! Although Blake is not a top point guard, he missed such a good opportunity and cannot be called a qualified point guard!

People to the ball! Oden turned around and took the ball in stride, jumped and dunked in one go! 、

37：39！ The Trail Blazers are two points behind again!

The Hornets attacked, Paul broke through with the ball on the outside, and threw his hand in the face of Odengaard, but unfortunately he underestimated Oden's bouncing arm span, and the ball was fanned out by Oden! Serving on the sideline, Paul organized the attack again, and finally West ended the attack, but unfortunately it was short, the ball smashed on the frame and bounced back, and before the ball flew far, Oden took the ball down,

Switching offense and defense, the Trail Blazers resolutely implemented the inside-out tactics that the coach said, handing the ball to Oden who fell in the low post. Oden was on top of Chandler, squeezing inside step by step. At that moment, David West came out of nowhere and cut the ball with precision.

Defend and counterattack! David West passed the ball to Paul, who acted as if he had a navigator inside the ball, accurately transferring the ball to the fast Peja. Facing a forbidden area as wide as the sea, Peja did not hesitate to come to the big windmill slam dunk!

Both sides are carrying out the coach's established policy! Oden, who felt that he had been targeted, did not force his shot, and after attracting the Hornets to defend with two, he always passed the ball out and played a strategy. Singles are singles, and packs are passes! Oden's one-handed pass was so painful that even McMillan was surprised that Oden actually had a steady pass.

Oden's containment completely liberated Roy and Aldridge, and the two continued to score points to lead the team forward. Oden is also constantly picking up leaks, looking for opportunities to attack the basket and cause damage.

By the last 20 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Hornets followed up with another goal from Paul to take a narrow one-point lead over the Trail Blazers. If it weren't for Paul's sudden outburst in the third quarter and a 20-point shooting with a free throw, the Hornets would have lost this game long ago!

Although the Hornets have a one-point lead for the time being, the bad news is that the next ball is the Trail Blazers!

After McMillan called a timeout to schedule the executor for the next attack, the Trail Blazers came to the sideline to serve. The Hornets are on their heels footing with the Trail Blazers, man-to-man! The Trail Blazers gave the ball to Roy with difficulty!

At this critical moment, the Hornets players burst out with tenacious willpower and kept an eye on the defender. Time passed second by second, and Roy, who couldn't find a chance at all, became a little anxious, and was ready to forcibly create an offensive opportunity in his heart.

"Give me the ball!" At that moment, a familiar voice rang in Roy's ears.

"It's Oden!" After Roy identified who the voice was, he didn't think about jumping up to find Oden and pass the ball.

Because Oden was always inside ready to grab a rebound at any time, no one expected Oden to give up the rebound and run out to catch the ball! Chandler also thought that Oden's task was to compete with him for position to protect the rebound, but what he never expected was that Oden actually pushed himself away and ran out to receive the ball.

Oden's unexpected move gave himself space to shoot, and Oden took a deep breath and threw the ball under pressure. Under Chandler's close-up gaze, the ball bounced twice off the basket before eventually falling in.

96-95！ There are 4 seconds left! At the same time, the Trail Blazers overtook by one point, and the pressure came to the Hornets!

Scott called a timeout, four seconds seemed like a lot, but there was still very little that could be done!

Back from a timeout, the Hornets serve from the sideline! Paul, who was standing with Roy, suddenly shook his tail and pulled a distance from Roy! Receiving the ball and throwing, Paul did not hesitate after receiving Morrison's pass, and shot instantly.

"Chris received the ball and shot it instantly, did it have it?" Studio Cole said excitedly, and the speed of his speech unconsciously accelerated: "The ball didn't score!" It's a little bigger! This time God is not on Chris's side! ”

"Greg jumped up and wanted to take the rebound off! Not enough height! Is Greg tired? The ball flew through his fingertips! Smith held his breath: "It's David!" David West suddenly appeared on the trajectory of the ball and he got the rebound! It's almost time, hurry up! David West! ”

"He made a shot and the ball flew to the basket! Oh, it's time, now it's time to watch this ball! Everyone in the room held their breath and stared at the basketball flying in the air.

"Oh my God! What do I see? Barkley suddenly stood up and shouted, startling everyone.

Auden watched as he shook off Chandler and jumped up at the same time as David West made his move. Oden straightened his arm to intercept the ball. "It's not close!" Auden cried out silently in his heart.

"Ahh Oden screamed, straightened up, and unbelievably pulled up a little higher again, barely poking the ball away!

“Oh my god！ It's Greg! Greg pokes the ball away! Cole took a breath and shouted loudly again, "Tonight belongs to Greg Oden!" He buried the dream of New Orleans with an incredible cover! ”

The Trail Blazers' bench boiled, shook off the towel hanging from his neck, and roared onto the court to surround Oden. The quiet arena was also noisy at this time, and people were cursing incessantly. At the same time, there were applause for the pioneers!

At the end of the game, thanks to Greg Oden's block, the Trail Blazers retreated in New Orleans. In the end, Oden, who scored 38 points, 27 rebounds and 5 blocks, won the best player of the game. Thirty-eight points, twenty-seven rebounds and five blocks are all career highs! Among them, 27 rebounds set a rebounding record for the new season, and also set a new record for the Trail Blazers in regular season team history!

Oden's outstanding performance finally overshadowed Paul's 35 points, 15 assists and 3 steals, and became the best foil!
