My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 108 Trailblazers

"Guys! The league has punished it." Kirtland Biss walked into the locker room with a report.

"Dell Davis made two technical fouls and was fined $2,000. Antonio Davis made a technical foul and a malicious foul caused violence. He was fined $3,000 and suspended for 5 games."

"Ben caused conflicts on the court, violated the regulations and entered the field from the bench, disrupting order. A fine of 3,000 US dollars and a suspension of 3 games."

"No penalty for Bruce? I heard that Reggie Miller tore his ankle ligament and needs to rest for 4-8 weeks."

"Bruce is okay, no penalties. His defensive league doesn't figure it out!"

"We need to drink to this!" Campbell downed a shot of Gatorade.

"Cheers!" The players laughed. They expected the league's punishment to be much more serious.

It's the day after the Pacers game, and the game between the Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers is about to start.

The news from the league undoubtedly made an explanation for the Lakers, and Larry Brown, who used means, can be said to be a double blessing, and a misfortune never comes singly. Miller's injury requires 1-2 months of event recuperation, and Miller will be absent for about half of the regular season.

Regardless of whether this is a very big blow to the Pacers, the absence of the team boss and the departure of the team's offensive end point can almost declare that they are hopeless from the top four in the East.

This made Larry Brown very anxious. Not to mention that there is Antonio Davis on the team who will be suspended for 5 games.

Larry Brown filed a complaint, and nothing came of it.

This is a warning from the league to the Pacers, old guy, please don't play with fire.

There were 3 bad and harmful behaviors in a game, which is too outrageous.

"Guys, prepare for today's game!"

"Good coach!"

In this game, the No. 1 Lakers in the West are about to face the Portland Trail Blazers, No. 5 in the West.

The current Lakers are 20 wins and 3 losses, and the Blazers are 15 wins and 7 losses.

The Blazers are undoubtedly a strong team in the playoffs, especially their inside line, which is composed of Arvedas Sabonis and Roaring God Rasheed Wallace.

The two have super long range, can attack and defend well, and have the inside line to pass the ball with one hand. Let their team's tactical choices be very flexible, and the defense in the penalty area is also very strong.

In this era, the defense of the penalty area must be the top priority.

And the excellent range can make their high and low tactics very easy to work.

Sabonis and Rasheed can stand high and press to the basket. The two of them built the team's tactical system. Although they may not have the most shots and the most possessions, the two of them are the soul of this team.

Portland Trail Blazers starting lineup: PG Kenny Anderson, SG Isiah Ryder, SF Clifford Robinson, PF Rasheed Wallace, C Arvedas Sabonis.

The scoring leader in the team is their point guard, the 1.83-meter Kenny Anderson, the No. 2 pick in 1991, who averaged 17.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game, 4.5 three-pointers and 1.6 goals. 36.1% three-point shooting. There is no doubt that this is a first-class point guard with range, breakthrough and organization.

Isiah Ryder, the No. 5 pick in 1993. The 1.96-meter shooting guard just signed a 4-year 20 million contract with the Trail Blazers this summer. In the second season of his career, he scored 20.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists as an All-Star. This season, with 4 fewer shots per game, he efficiently scored 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

This is a player who has the strength of an All-Star but is willing to play a supporting role.

Clifford Robinson, a 2.08-meter big All-Star small forward. Before this season, he averaged 20+6+3 in four consecutive third-tier games. Selected as an All-Star in the 93-94 season. Before the iron man, he almost never missed the game. He has excellent physical fitness, and has a 37.8% three-point shooting rate, and can average 2.3 hits per game.

Rasheed Wallace, in 1995, was the No. 4 pick last year. 2.11 meters tall, has excellent defense and delicate skills. One-handed shots are very difficult to defend. This season, he can score 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists with a shooting percentage of 55.8%. At the same time, everyone believes that he still has unlimited potential to be discovered. He is a rising star among power forwards in the league.

Arvidas Sabonis, Lithuanian national treasure center.

Sabonis won the 1988 Olympic title with the former Soviet Union, and then led Lithuania to bronze medals in 1992 and 1996. Sabonis played domestically for Kaunas, followed by a year with Soviet champions Spartak Moscow, and when he was allowed to go abroad, he spent another six brilliant seasons in Spain, winning many Honor and was elected the 6th European Player of the Year and the 2nd European Mr. Basketball.

He joined the NBA Portland Trail Blazers in the 1995-1996 season. On the one hand, all the veterans from Europe have 100% respect for this guy. His tall body is covered with countless brilliant legends.

The big guy, on the other hand, had a head twice the size of an average center forward, and thick padding around his knees made his legs twice as thick as the rest. In terms of his running speed, it is like a tractor entering the F1 arena. The Blazers' managers were rather cautious. They lost Drexler the year before, and after watching him win a title, they had nothing to lose.

The funny thing was All-Star Weekend in 1996. The 31-year-old Sabonis participated in the All-Star Rookie Game, becoming the oldest member of the All-Star Rookie Game in history. Compared with McDyess and Stackhouse, who were jumping around, he was like an unearthed cultural relic.

If he came to the NBA in his heyday, would he have a shocking impact on the world structure similar to that of a visitor from outer space. He doesn't have the astonishing visual impact of Chamberlain's horizontal push, but he is familiar with the winning skills and understands how to win a basketball game.

The Portland Trail Blazers also have Gary Trent, the No. 11 pick in 1995, a 2.03-meter small forward who can contribute 10.8 points and 5.2 rebounds on the bench this season.

This is the aircraft carrier built by Portland owner Paul Allen. There are no loopholes in the five positions, and they are only one step away from the championship-level team.

This is bound to be a tough battle.

"The game is about to start, enjoy the game, kids!" Rambis blew the battle horn.

The Lakers players poured into the player channel one by one.

"Hey guys. Take this game, go to Chicago with the win!"

"Obey!"

"Must win!"
