October 7th, Moda Center.

Today is the opening day of pre-season. This means that the season has officially begun.

Today's opponent for the Trail Blazers is the Kings.

Wang Dachun is now at the entrance of the players' tunnel with his teammates, waiting for the DJ to announce the curtain and accept the cheers of the audience, and he is the third from the bottom of the line.

He has experienced this kind of entrance ceremony many times with the Mavericks, but it has always been the first three appearances.

When the DJ shouted Wang Dachun, Wang Dachun waved his hand and ran out of the field, but the cheers were not yet ahead. Joel cheered loudly as he entered. There were even some boos.

Wang Dachun made some psychological preparations for this. Frank had previously told him that his agency was doing a ball market survey in Portland. Wang Dachun's current popularity is not high.

After all, the arrival of Wang Dachun traded the champion selected by the Trail Blazers themselves. Even though Oden has been looked down upon by many people, including many Trail Blazers fans, they are very disappointed in Oden.

But the champion is the champion, and there are still many fans who still have illusions about Oden. Thought that Oden would be able to rise one day.

This part of the fans is dissatisfied and angry about trading Oden. Naturally, it was vented on the management of the Pioneers and Wang Dachun.

Wang Dachun didn't care much about it, when he abolished Bowen. The Spurs' home boo, that's a lot more than that.

However, as a regular starting center for the Trail Blazers, Wang Dachun still has to wave to the fans around him, including the fans who booed him.

The Trail Blazers are known this year. "Super" Young Guard.

The reason why it is so called is because the average age of the players in this team is only 23 years old.

And that's still counting Andre Miller and Juwan Howard. If the two veterans are not counted, the average age of this team would be even lower.

The current roster of players for this year's Portland Trail Blazers is:

Point Guard:

Steve Blake, Andre Miller, Jerry Bayless.

Scoring Guard:

Brandon Roy, Rudy Fernandez.

Small Forward:

Nicholas Batum, Martell Webster, Dante Cunningham.

Power Forward:

RamMarcus Aldridge, Juwan Howard, Jeff Ayles.

Center:

Wang Dachun, Joel Purzbilla.

Of the 13-man squad, only Nicholas Batum has not returned to the team due to an injury last season.

And the current fixed starting lineup confirmed by the Trail Blazers is;

point guard; Steve Blake.

Shooting guard: Brandon Roy.

Small forward: Martell Webster.

Power forward: LaMarcus Aldridge.

Center: Wang Dachun.

Starting point guard Steve Breger, the oldest player on the starting lineup, is 29 years old. It's still in its prime.

He averaged 11 points and five assists per game last season. Although it is not an All-Star level, it is definitely qualified as a starting vacancy, and you must know that Breg was also known as "The Flash" back then.

And last season he shot 43 percent from three-point range. And once in the game against the Clippers, he handed out 14 assists in a single quarter. Broke the NBA league's record for most assists in a single quarter.

Starting small forward Martel Webster. He has just returned from injury and temporarily replaced Nicolas Batum, which can be regarded as a pseudo-starter.

Probably frightened by Oden's successive injuries, head coach Nate McMillan specifically instructed him to "trident" before the game.

"The opening game of the preseason is not so important, you go up and just go to the form, just take a few points and rest the game, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just leave the rest to the bench and the substitutes!"

Wang Dachun didn't listen to the head coach's words at all. He's been looking forward to scoring on the field for a long time.

He even figured out what kind of celebratory pose he would pose after shutting off his opponent.

…

Today's Kings starting lineup is:

Point guard. Tyrek Evans.

Scoring guard. Kevin Martin.

Small forward. Desmond Mason.

Power forward. Sean May.

Center. Jason Thompson.

…

Naturally, the opposite of Wang Dachun is his classmate Jason Thompson.

After an offseason passed, seeing Jason Thompson again, Wang Dachun still sighed.

After this guy entered the league, he directly became the starting center of the Kings. It wasn't until this season that he became a true starting center.

Wang Dachun's current mentality is like yes. Classmates who have graduated for many years get together at a party. I really want to show off my accomplishments to others.

The two went to the midfield to fight for the ball, and the referee who jumped the ball was still preparing for the opening. Wang Dachun said to Jason Thompson.

"Hi Jason, long time no see."

"Long time no see, King!"

"I'm also a regular starter!"

"Well, congratulations."

"I'm going to shackle you in a moment, you have to get ready!"

“………… The referee is here, get ready to jump the ball! ”

Jason Thompson didn't believe what Wang Dachun said at all. As a fellow student, I basically know what skills we have with each other.

He believes that Wang Dachun definitely has the ability to detain others. After all, the physical condition is there.

But the premise is that when Wang Dachun relies on his own bouncing to make up the basket, or is unexpected, it is possible to complete the dunk.

Wang Dachun said in front of him that he wanted to detain himself. Jason Thompson was a little annoyed.

"You think I'm the scum of War Five? Lao Tzu is still consuming it with you today, making it difficult for you to even grab rebounds! ”

…

The game begins.

Wang Dachun and Jason Thompson jumped the ball, and he easily tossed the ball to Roy.

Wang Dachun will not break the rules of the team, and the team's first attack will naturally be handed over to the star of his own team to play.

After Roy hit the 1st goal. Wang Dachun is still not in a hurry. The second goal should be played by Ade. You can't take the lead by yourself.

In the next few rounds, Wang Dachun only grabbed three or four defensive rebounds and completed a supplementary dunk.

But as the game progressed, Wang Dachun slowly became a little anxious.

The Kings were originally the belly team of the fish belly, and the one who scored the most was Kevin Martin. But Roy and Ade were surprisingly good today.

Roy broke through Kevin Martin, and it was easy not to want to. Ade hit Shaun May, and shook the other party with his back and feet.

In addition, Wang Dachun also doesn't know what is wrong with Jason Thompson today. Fighting hard with him in the restricted area, he would rather give up the offensive rebound to others than let him get the offensive rebound, Wang Dachun didn't have a chance to play a second offense under the blue.

Seeing that the first quarter of the game had reached the end, and the score had been reached by Roy and Adela to more than 10 points, Wang Dachun did not get a chance to catch the ball.

Wang Dachun is ready to take the initiative to ask for the ball, how can he complete a dunk today, and then put his own dunk posture. Otherwise, I'll design this action in vain.

The Trail Blazers' main ball-handling players today are Roy and Blake. It's not that they don't want to pass the ball to Wang Dachun and let Wang Dachun attack.

They all know Wang Dachun's ability to dunk under the basket. As long as Wang Dachun wants the ball, they are naturally willing to give the ball.

At the beginning of today, Roy and Ade played too smoothly, and Wang Dachun has been entangled by Jason Thompson in the penalty area. So for the time being, I didn't pass the ball to Wang Dachun.

Now I see Wang Dachun taking the initiative to ask for the ball. immediately passed the ball to Wang Dachun. When Wang Dachun received the ball, his mood was also a little surging.

He wants to show Thomson what a skullcap is!

Just as Wang Dachun was about to get up and dunk, Jason Thomson came directly and tried to force a break, which turned out to be a foul on the beater.

Wang Dachun was sent to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws in frustration.

Just as he was about to continue playing, the head coach of the Trail Blazers signaled for a substitution.

Will Wang Dachun, Roy, and Ade. All three switched out at the same time.

Head coach Nate McMillan saw that Roy Aard scored in double figures, and Wang Dachun also got 10 rebounds.

I didn't feel the need to put the three of them on the field anymore. The process is almost complete, and they are allowed to come down and rest. And there are no plans to send three more people on the field.

Wang Dachun knew that he would not be playing today. His heart was tangled, and he really wanted to say it to the manager.

"Coach, my posture is ready, why don't you let me go up and dunk one!"
