80. City of Tear

The nights in Portland are not as prosperous as those in Los Angeles, where there is no Hollywood or bigwigs.

Even the team owner Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, is very low-key.

Unfortunately, just yesterday, Allen died of complications from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The Trail Blazers team hopes to remember their boss with a victory. Team leader Lillard started training early and practiced shooting hard.

"Tomorrow's game will be tough, and the Trail Blazers players are planning to turn grief into strength and kill you."

Perkins, who was far away in Los Angeles, was eating popcorn and said slowly.

After the start of the new season, Lao Pa relaxed a lot because there were games to watch again. Although he couldn't afford to pay for his home game ticket, it was also good to lie on the sofa and watch the live broadcast on TV.

"To be honest, there was something wrong with the team. Walton accused the veteran of playing too selfishly." Lam Feng was willing to share with him the team's affairs. Maybe this guy could come up with a trick.

"Let me guess it's definitely not LeBron. He has a high emotional intelligence and has always been criticizing the head coach, not accusing him. After all, the first person in the league said everything is right."

"Who could that be?" Perkins changed his position, his fat body was about to flatten the sofa.

"Beasley! That's right, it must be him. Michael is a straight guy. He likes the direct game."

"Yes, you still have a little brain, and everyone's fingers are pointed at Beasley. But to be honest, his playing style is indeed not suitable for the team."

Lin Feng had a short partner time with him, about two minutes. Beasley liked to ask for the ball from the outside, then called for pick-and-roll, and then drove straight into the basket.

Perkins sighed, "To be honest, I like that guy very much. He can score in various ways and play is pleasing to the eye. Maybe it's your group of Lakers that have dragged him down, haha."

Lin Feng was helpless, "Brother, I'm not here in Portland. The pressure makes me breathless. The atmosphere here is very bad."

"Good luck, I recommend you to watch cats and mice, it will relieve your mental stress. Don't forget that you are the king of Los Angeles."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng lay on the bed thinking about what would happen tomorrow’s game?

The Lakers were pressed to the ground by a pioneer team that turned grief into strength and beaten?

When they fly back to Los Angeles, they will be drowned by those media with their spits.

It is said that the boss lady Jenny Buss will also be there to watch the team's debut, as well as Pelinka and Johnson. These good friends are the team's mascots and will follow them wherever they go.

Well, don't imagine, wait for the hospitality of the tear-up city!

At 10 o'clock on the evening of the 17th, the lake people finally got on the bus to Moda Center.

For some reason, Lin Feng always associates the name of this stadium with a bald figure in a domestic mobile game, which is a very strange feeling.

Moda Center originally had a very romantic name called Rose Garden. Thinking of the romantic place full of roses, now it has become a bald man.

In the game that ended earlier, the 76ers with three No. 1 picks were hammered by the Celtics, Uncle Drew scored 747 data, was criticized as a dog by the media, and Embiid completed a tomahawk dunk on his head, which was lost.

Looking back at the past world, Irving's career as a Celtic was not going well. When he left the Cavaliers and went to Boston, he wanted to leave the old man and be the top leader.

As a result, all the young guys in Boston are so terrifying. How could you listen to you, a person who often wears makeup and abuses the street court?

Both Jaylen Brown and Rozier have expressed doubts about Irving on different occasions, believing that he is not suitable to be the leader of this Celtic team.

Lin Feng sighed at the situation of his idol, and he looked forward to the moment when the two competed together.

The Houston Rockets, who were also competing for championships every year, were beaten by the Pelicans' two inside towers, and all five players were in double digits. Payton even completed a standard triple-double of 101010.

At this moment, the people of Portland are all looking forward to the team being able to defeat the offseason's "yi champion" Los Angeles Lakers with a big victory.

After a night of sleep, the atmosphere in the team improved a lot. After all, they were professional players, and the mood was only temporary, and no one could not get over winning.

Zhan took the opportunity to mobilize pre-match. As a rookie, Lin Feng just needs to listen patiently and follow everyone to shout a few words from time to time.

Most of the time, he plays a quiet role, and his mind keeps replaying the playing habits of the Trail Blazers.

He still remembers that Lillard beat the Thunder with the goal of the last playoffs.

At that time, Lin Feng jumped up excitedly, and even his opponent would be impressed by his spirit.

And one and a half hours later, Lam Feng will stand on the sidelines and play against Li.

When the bus entered the Moda Center, you can see many fans wearing Lakers jerseys outside the stadium. Some of them are Los Angeles working locally, while others are Lakers fans from afar.

I have to say that NBA is a successful business alliance, and the basketball culture is great, which cannot be felt in the country.

In the locker room, Walton was doing the final pre-match mobilization. The time has come to test Walton's level of advice. What will happen in the next six months?

The Lakers continue to sink, but still step out of the quagmire and enter the championship ranks. Some clues may be seen from their debut tonight.

James seemed very relaxed when he warmed up before the game. He was an absolute big-scene figure, and was commonplace for this kind of scene where tens of thousands of people were all filled with.

Lin Feng felt a little dizzy. This was not the Mark Center in Las Vegas, which was much smaller than here, and the atmosphere was not as rich as that in Moda Center.

A simple shooting warm-up, James slapped every teammate with his high fives. He told Lin Feng that this is the NBA, and you will get used to this kind of scene in the future.

"The first time I was frightened when I was facing so many people, they were about to eat me!" James quipped.

Lin Feng knew he was lying. James was the highly anticipated son of God. As early as the early 21st century, most people related to basketball had heard of a high school student nicknamed "Emperor", who ruled the All-American High School League.

LeBron is a natural leader, and there is no doubt that some people compare him to Jordan, and the number of times he won the championship has dragged James down.

For some reason, the warm basketball atmosphere at Moda Center made Lam confident. He thought he would let LeBron retire as the number one person in history as drunk.

On the day he retired, LeBron will be second.

"Damian Lillard!"

The starter was released, and when DJ read out Lillard's name, the audience cheered like a tsunami, which was a shock that could not be felt when watching the broadcast in front of TV.

Lillard raised his arms like a hero and accepted the cheers of the citizens of Portland.

His eyes were like torch, like a determined warrior.

A bouquet of freshly picked roses was placed on the seat of Paul Allen.

At that moment, Lin Feng understood the meaning of tearing apart the city, and they really wanted to tear apart their opponents!

I'm afraid that a rookie player with average psychological quality will be scared to death. Lin Feng breathed in big breaths and glanced at the audience. For some reason, he was very calm at this moment.

In contrast, the German young man Wagner and Ukrainian Mikhailuk were next to him, with their faces tense and they could vaguely feel their trembling.

Even Joshhart, who had been through a full season, was a little nervous, biting his upper lip and staring at the field without saying anything.

This is the Moda Center Arena, the home court that Portlanders are proud of.
