But Butler's wish may come true.

On April 3, the Lakers' second opponent this month, the Trail Blazers seem to have tightened up again recently. After a wave of 5 consecutive victories, their current team record is 48 wins and 26 losses, temporarily ranking No. 1 in the Western Conference.

Four. It can be regarded as a "top dog" division. If they can maintain it in the end. The funny thing is that in this game, Jimmy Butler was still feeling unwell and was placed on the injured list. This added

Nick Young will not return until after the game, so the team's lineup is basically the same as the Pelicans in the last game. Compared with the Pelicans, who are hovering near the top eight in the Western Conference, the Trail Blazers clearly have

Stronger strength, so our Mr. Jimmy Butler believes that the Lakers will definitely lose this game.

He is also a big step closer to being "visited the thatched cottage three times".

Because the Lakers' lineup is very incomplete, in tonight's game, the Trail Blazers are also up and down, relatively confident. As a nationally broadcast game, Damian Lillard said: "The Lakers are very strong.

, but their current lineup is uneven, I think our chances of winning tonight are still very good. At least I have no doubt that I can attack and defend my opponents." LaMarcus Aldridge didn't have much.

He said that now that he is in the team and has been pushed to the second core position, it is impossible for you to say that he does not have a temper in his heart. However, now that the playoffs are approaching, he still has to show some professionalism, otherwise he will

This season, he has no better bargaining chips to choose a team.

Yes, now, the former Trail Blazers boss LaMarcus Aldridge has begun to consider leaving. This idea has become more clear and firm recently. No matter how the Trail Blazers try to retain Aldridge during the offseason,

He also has no intention of staying in Portland any longer. So before the contract year, he must work hard to increase his worth.

In this situation, it's not just a matter of grudge. Aldridge also needs to think carefully about his future.

Under this factor, the Trail Blazers team began to be surprisingly united, as if all the discord in the middle of the season had disappeared. Head coach Terry Stotts also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise, he would really

I don’t know what I should do. Basically, if you are not a championship coach, you will not be able to suppress the stars of the team, not to mention the infighting between old and new stars, which is a common thing in any team during the transition period of power.

Regardless of the future, let’s finish this season first.

"Hello everyone, this is the live broadcast room of ESPN 2. The guest we invited today is..."

"Hello everyone in front of the TV, this is China Sports Channel, and the game today is Los Angeles Lakers VS Portland Trail Blazers."

"Good morning netizens, this is the XXX wave live broadcast room, today's game is still..."

In this game, everyone on ESPN believes that the Lakers have little chance of winning. The lineup is too uneven and it will be difficult to win.

In fact, they were able to win the last game, which was a bit beyond people's expectations.

The person invited for this game is the Knicks star Pat Rick Ewing, who is still on the road to becoming a head coach. He said at the beginning that he was not optimistic about the Lakers because he

I think the Trail Blazers have a greater advantage.

On paper, the Trail Blazers have a greater advantage, but he didn't say why.

No matter how I listen to it, I feel a little distracted, but Ewing is often like this. Sometimes he doesn't even know what he said when he speaks. But everyone knows that Ewing doesn't like Tang Qian.

, the previous "war of words" between the two of them ended with Tang Qian angrily punching Ewing in the face. This incident has always made Ewing feel that he has no face, so whenever he explains the Lakers, he has to be a little bit more

personal emotional preference.

Well, to put it bluntly, I just hope that the Lakers lose and then Tang Qian suffers.

This way he can take the opportunity to laugh at you.

The host of ESPN 2 is the famous hardcore James Williams. Why is he said to be a brain-dead "iron secret" like Fox Sports reporter Wright? One thing is enough to explain everything. He is also in the same time and space.

He said something similar to Wright. To put it simply, he thinks James is the greatest player in NBA history.

Well, not one of them.

So...you know, this kind of person is a disservice.

James' honor is very strong, but it still depends on who he compares with. If he compares with Jordan, isn't he looking for abuse?

No wonder Jay Williams was criticized back then. He and Nick Wright were both the same.

It's totally trying to attract negative fans for James.

"Yes, the Lakers are short of major generals tonight, and I also think it will be difficult for them to win this game." After Jay Williams finished speaking, he couldn't help but added: "It seems very possible.

It's another no-goal game tonight. I wonder what you think of it, Mr. Ewing?" "I think..."

In the locker room, the TV broadcast can also be seen in real time, and there is more than one TV, so when Tang Qian looked up at the pre-match broadcast on ESPN 2, he smiled. Of course it was not a warm and kind smile.

, but... sneered. Seeing this, Thackeray couldn't help but shrink his neck and whispered to Yi Jianlian: "Yi~ The people from ESPN are in trouble again~ You saw the smile on his face just now

No? It’s very cold.”

"I don't think anyone would be happy to be asked to kill Tang Qian for nothing." Yi Jianlian only came to the United States and came to Los Angeles before he realized that the conflict between Tang Qian and authoritative media such as ESPN was so big. But it is said that the old Buss and

ESPN has conflicts, especially Kobe, so when it comes to Tang Qian, it seems that they are just carrying forward the tradition. Looking at it this way, it is really difficult to be the boss of the Lakers. Excessive focus and exposure will make any problem for them

It is magnified and becomes a seemingly irreconcilable contradiction.

In comparison, Milwaukee's boss had almost zero off-court pressure.

"I don't know whether others are happy or not, but I can be sure that Fang Fang will not be happy." Thackeray still whispered: "I really don't know what Jimmy is doing? It's embarrassing Fang Fang like this, not adding gasoline to the fire.

What? What he did went too far." At this time, Yi Jianlian still stood firmly on Tang Qian's side and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "He just wants to show his sense of existence. In this case, we

It’s not like the national team has never appeared before. But Tang Qian is not me, right?"

"Tell me, how will Jimmy Butler die then?"

After Yi Jianlian thought for a while, she only said one word: "I'm so angry."

This game entered an unimaginable situation from the beginning.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's not a fierce battle or anything like that, it's one-sided.

You say it’s impossible? No, there is nothing impossible. Tang Qian scored 20 points in the first quarter at the beginning. You read that right, 20 points in a single quarter. I don’t know if you have counted 20 points in a single quarter.

NBA record of points +. Only counting data since the beginning of the 21st century, the top three with the most 20 points + in a single quarter are Kobe and James Curry. As of Kobe's retirement, this data is the most 36 times in original time and space, followed by James' third

22 times, and then Curry’s 15 times. Of course, in this time and space, No. 24 was at his peak last year, so this data reached 50+ times in the regular season, specifically 56 times. It can be seen that last year Heiman

Ba's averaged 43.7272727273 points per game, and he scored a total of 3367 points in 77 games. It's no joke. His firepower was far better than his own during the 05-07 period. It can be said that there is not a single center in the top ten.

, or even an insider. Look at the names from 4-10, Anthony, McGrady, Michael Redd, Wade, Durant, Iverson, Jamal Crawford. There are no traces of players in the post.

None. The range had to be expanded to the 15th place before an inside player appeared, and he was Dirk Nowitzki. Behind him, if you want to see another inside player, you have to go 20 outside.

This person's name is "Big Brush" Love. After that, he needs to be ranked 30th before another Stoudemire will appear. As for O'Neal, I'm sorry, he is not a strong point in this aspect. From the beginning of the 21st century to his retirement, only

He did it twice, ranking 67th in the entire rankings, the same level as Yao Ming. (It was also done twice for Yao Ming).

This shows how unpopular big men are based on this data.

In terms of explosive scoring power, since the 21st century, there have been few who are particularly strong.

If you remove Dirk Nowitzki and Love, who have more shooting positions at the 4th position, Stoudemire would have to appear at No. 30. Although facing the basket is not as nuclear as backing to the basket, he can still be regarded as an inside player.

One of the traditional ways of playing.

What about Tang Qian? This is a good question. He has now left O'Neal and Yao Ming far behind. He has done it 5 times so far, ranking 20th on the entire list. This kind of inside firepower, if you look at it this way,

You will know how powerful he is. The lethality is also amazing. At least he must have an overall advantage over outside players. Of course, he has a relatively large "moisture content".

This made the Blazers' No. 5 look a little pale. Although he is far less famous than Omer Asik of the Pelicans, he is famous because of his older brother. He is Brook.

Lopez's younger brother, Robin Lopez. Robin Lopez, like his brother, is also a weak rebounder. This season he is only 6+, and his career is even worse, with only 5+. I really don't know how long they have.

What is a person with a height of 7 feet and a tonnage of more than 265 pounds used for? This person is more commonly known as the "Mascot Killer". Of course, he also has a great temper, and his own stadium

Strength is inversely proportional.

He was involved in many conflicts and punches were thrown.

They are a bit similar to the Gasol brothers. The older brother is more offensive and the younger brother is more defensive. Of course, this is just a similarity and has nothing to do with strength. They want to compete with the Gasol brothers.

As for strength, that is still overthinking.

Robin Lopez was positioned as Stoudemire's deputy in the Suns, and he had more blue-collar responsibilities as a meat shield inside. His best position in the league was to stay at the offensive No. 4 position. After all, his

The offense is very average. It’s not that bad, but it can’t be said to be very good. It’s just passable. A typical blue-collar style of play. However, he has just caught up with this year, and there is no good center at all, otherwise he will be

If he still wants to earn tens of millions a year like this, that is just a dream.

The decline of insiders and the coming era of contract explosion have really nourished a large number of people.

His defense is very passionate, which must be praised. He looks very aggressive, but that's it.

If you want to expect him to really lock down someone in the paint and control the defense, you are just dreaming.

And he is also a typical loudmouth. He likes to talk before the game, talk trash during the game, and talk after the game.

Just search his news and you'll find a lot of trolls and nonsense.

In this game, he also followed Tang Qian's defense conscientiously from the beginning. It was quite bluffing to see him roaring from time to time, waving his arms vigorously because he thought the penalty was unfair, and showing a fierce look on his face from time to time.

However, this is of no use at all. Even if Tang Qian doesn't break out, he can still be beaten on the offensive end without much effort. The gap is still huge.

Tonight, it is even more so.

The pain that Pelicans' Omer Asik will experience in the last game will be repeated tonight by Robin Lopez.

Lopez was attacked continuously by the Lakers No. 29 and was beaten hard. He could still scream at the beginning, but after he was substituted for three fouls in the first quarter, he was a little confused. It must be said that in the first quarter of the game,

The Trail Blazers were penetrated at the 5th position. Moreover, this game was similar to the previous one. The Lakers played very slowly, which can reduce mistakes and compress the rhythm, a two-pronged approach.

And the power of inside attacks can also be improved.
