Blame them for being stupid, blame me... Hey, hey, what are you going to do! My sister is still here... Where is Qing'er? Damn..."

Randolph, Tianzun, Travis Outlaw, Matt Carroll, Ruben Bontje, and Derek Anderson couldn't stand listening anymore, so they pressed Liu Xiu and ravaged him for a while.

Liu Xiu's arrogance, boasting, Wang Po's betrayal... these are actually tolerated by the teammates.

The most unbearable thing is that what this guy said is really the truth!

Even Randolph was jealous of Liu Xiu's talent.

After breaking free from the ravage, Liu Xiu was about to run away... The voices of his teammates' wives and children were heard talking into the lounge, and the teammates fled collectively. Those who had wives and children went to stay with their wives and children, and those who didn't, went to help take care of the children...

After a while, Qing'er returned to the lounge with two large bags of snacks.

"Qing'er, where have you been!"

"Huh? Buy snacks! The butcher just asked me to help buy snacks..."

"Damn! Despicable! As expected of Fatty Lan!"

Liu Xiu asked why Qing'er's 'life-saving talisman' disappeared at the critical moment.

Today we play the Lakers, which will be broadcast live across the United States. Many of the players’ families want to come to watch the game and want to be seen on TV.

If the wives/girlfriends of Trail Blazers players, as well as their immediate relatives, such as parents, children, and grandparents, come to watch the game, the team will give them tickets.

Players of the Seattle Seahawks also receive this kind of treatment.

Because the owner of these two teams is named Paul Allen.

It is said that Paul Allen bought these two teams just as a hobby.

Today, the Trail Blazers have more than 30 tickets given to the families of various players.

Qing'er returned to the lounge with snacks, and the 'Ohu Team' and 'Pretend Bad Guy Duo' returned to the lounge.

The channel switched to Time Warner, which happened to be playing a preview of tonight's live broadcast of Time Warner Cable Sports.

Similarly, it has nothing to do with the Trail Blazers. Even if it takes a long time to shoot, the result is just ten or twenty seconds of footage.

There is an exclusive interview with the Lakers...

The interviewer is Kobe Bryant.

The Trail Blazers players were very interested in the interview with this popular superstar, and everyone gathered around the TV.

The question raised is related to Liu Xiu and the Trail Blazers.

"I already know who he is. I saw from the news that he is a very talented rookie, but I don't know much about him. They beat us last time, and I am looking forward to this match."

"Yes, you are right, they are the first team to beat us, so I pay special attention to them. This time I hope they can perform like that night, no, they have to be better.

They have definitely improved, they seem to have won six games in a row."

These two answers are directly related to the Trail Blazers. The following clips of Kobe's interview are not directly related to the Trail Blazers.

Liu Xiu said unexpectedly: "Why is this guy so gentlemanly in this interview? Wasn't he so sinister last time?"

Tianzun, who entered the NBA at the same time as Kobe Bryant, responded: "The last time you said that about him, you were telling the truth. It's good that he didn't directly curse."

"Uh...yeah..."

"But he must be targeting you now!"

"Why?"

"You scored 21 points on him, he will definitely want to get back on track."

"I remember he scored more than 30 points that day, right? My score was much lower than him, right?"

"He probably wants you to get only 2 points or 1 point."

"..."

Liu Xiu was speechless. Tianzun's guess might actually be what that guy wanted to do.

Also, Tianzun actually knows Kobe so well. Based on Liu Xiu’s understanding of Tianzun, this must be something that Kobe often does.

After being speechless for a moment, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "If he really wants to keep an eye on me, that would be great."

Tianzun followed with a smile and said: "Haha, that's right, Jace, I'll leave it to you to contain Kobe's defense."

"I want to say that I promise to complete the task, but it seems that I am not the one who can make the decision..."

Although the opponent was the Lakers, the entire Trail Blazers team was relaxed.

Full of fighting spirit! We are all looking forward to this game!

…

…

"Warden..."

"Butcher……"

"Outlaw gangsters..."

"The king of technical fouls..."

"Gold Medal Fighter..."

"Kobe's Terminator..."

At 6:40 in the evening, the Lakers and Trail Blazers entered the Rose Garden Arena one after another.

Tonight is different from usual.

When the Lakers entered the stadium, the boos had reached a boiling point.

Compared with the first game of the preseason, the enthusiasm of the fans was much higher.

When the players of the home team Trail Blazers entered the stadium, the cheers and boos that had characterized the past two home games were no longer the same. They were either cheering or shouting the nicknames of several of the most famous players this season.

If you change the opponent, the situation of divided fans will still exist, but this opponent in front of you is different!

At the very least, when Little Flying Squirrel and Tianzun were still with the Trail Blazers, the Lakers were the absolute mortal enemy in the eyes of Portland fans!

The Lakers are used to this.

When Kobe heard some people shouting "Kobe Terminator", he didn't control his expression and rolled his eyes twice.

Portland fans were definitely going to boo them, and Kobe wasn't surprised.

What surprised him was that more than 90% of the attendees were Trail Blazers fans!

That’s not to say that Trail Blazers fans can’t afford game tickets. People in Portland are rich, no worse than those in Los Angeles, but Portland fans’ desire to grab game tickets is not that high.

For example, when the Lakers come to Portland as a guest and Lakers fans come to grab game tickets, Trail Blazers fans generally don't rush to buy them. If they can buy them, they come to boo the Lakers. If they can't buy them, forget it.

This time, Kobe felt very different.

Also, Kobe feels very different about the Trail Blazers themselves.

As the two sides that fought in the 2000 Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers have been a very serious opponent of the Lakers in the past few seasons.

Kobe saw with his own eyes the Blazers' collapse from a championship-level team to an ordinary 50-win team, and they continued to get worse.

Regarding this, Kobe was very sorry that a strong opponent who could force the OK team to a tiebreaker collapsed like this.

I thought the Trail Blazers were going to be finished like this, but this year seems a little different...

The reputation has become even worse, and the outside world describes the Trail Blazers as worse than before.

But Kobe can see that compared to last season's state of being half-dead but stubborn and unwilling to die, the Trail Blazers have a completely new look this year!

There are a lot of differences compared to the pre-season!

Tianzun, Davis, Little Flying Squirrel... Kobe knew these opponents very well. The changes in the Trail Blazers must have nothing to do with these guys. These guys don't have the temperament to be the boss.

Randolph...has played against him a few times, but he doesn't look like he can lead a team.

Then there is only one person.

The rookie that Kobe cares about tonight - Warden Jayce!

It's incredible that a rookie, a substitute rookie, can actually make such a wonderful change in a team that is almost in ruins!

…

Liu Xiu felt Kobe's eyes, but didn't care.

Whether it is from his knowledge or what he heard from Tianzun, a player who entered the NBA at the same time as Kobe, it is certain that Kobe is eyeing him, a weak, pitiful and helpless 13th pick in the first round.

Rookie.

The cheers given by the fans tonight... The enemy of my enemy is my friend? No, if I have the same enemy, I am my friend.

The Prison Team is special. The relationship between the team and the fans is that of friends who share the same enemy.

After entering the game, Liu Xiu sat on the bench. Since he was not the starter, he could slowly study and analyze the game.

Taking the scouting report and comparing it with the scouting report, Liu Xiu opened the player detection report. After entering the court, he could read the Lakers player detection report.

Liu Xiu has studied the contents of the scouting report many times in the past two days, as well as the game videos.

The Lakers have played 12 games so far this season and currently have 8 wins and 4 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference.

Yes, that's right, the Trail Blazers' record improved to fourth in the Western Conference, and the team that surpassed them was the Lakers.

So far this season, the Lakers are averaging 99.1 points per game and conceding 95.2 points per game.

Compared with the Trail Blazers, who averaged 101.3 points per game and lost 97.6 points per game, it is indeed not much different.

Compared with the Pacers, Spurs, and Timberwolves, who limit their opponents to less than 90 points per game, the Lakers seem to have a gap. They currently rank first in the league with 11 wins and 2 losses, averaging 104.3 points per game, and averaging 10 points per game.
