At half past seven in the evening, Game 32 of the Knicks' 09-10 season officially kicked off at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland.

The fans of the Fractured City didn't give the visiting players a good look at them. They erupted in boos before the game began, and the only thing Duke Snoopy was thankful that the first time he received boos on the road was the second-highest on the team.

Zach Randolph didn't care about being a thorn in the side of the original team, and he knew that the scandal he had caused in Portland was still eating away at his image.

However, he told Snoopy a little strangely: "I thought they would at least remember that in 2003, when the team was 3-0 down, I got up from the bench and dragged the arrogant Dallas into a tiebreaker." ”

He said it seriously: "I've had moments of glory. ”

In fact, he never sold his Portland home, and he returns to the City of Roses on the West Coast of the United States every offseason. This summer, for example, he frolicked in the rose garden with South African pearls, although the end result was less romantic.

"Perhaps, you'll have to do something to remind them of the past."

Snoopy patted him on the shoulder, and the battle began.

Snoopy was on the starting point guard for the first time tonight as Matthews was on the daily watch list after the last game because he noticed some swelling in his ankle. Originally... The coaching staff was going to give Jeffries some chances, but he was clearly reluctant to continue with the Knicks, who had apathetically waited for the trade window to open since egging Zach Randolph into a failed locker room coup.

The Knicks have given the starting lineup tonight: Kirkzenridge, Snoopydou, James Johnson, Zach Randolph and Milicic.

The Portlanders' starting five are: Andre Miller, Brandon Roy, Tres Outlo, Aldridge, Greg Oden.

When the whistle blew for the game, the Portland Youth showed incredible momentum. Greg Oden beat Daco Milishic on a jumper, and Brandon Roy, who is widely regarded in the league as the closest to Kobe Bryant's style of play, shook off Snoopydou's defense with a calm and composure change of direction, and then hit a step-back jumper that was too standard to be standard.

Looking back, Snoopy's attempt to get past the Yellow Mambarroi defence was stymied.

No one denies that Lord Duke's hands dribble as sharp as a scalpel, and even as fast as Iverson. At the same time, he also has a lot of fancy ball control performances, like Jason Williams.

However, he lacked the most important thing...... Or is it the body in control. He's a far cry from the top outside line, and his ability to adjust his limbs, especially at the extreme, is terrible. The only way he can get out of the house is probably to use his right foot as an axis to quickly semi-spin past the person, and then accelerate sharply and advance in a straight line.

When this move keeps playing, the smart defenders are ready.

Brandon Roy is a very smart player, and when he suffered two knee injuries in college, he relied more on his mind on the court.

However, Duke Snoopy clearly has a higher IQ, and he still tricked Roy with his intricate fancy dribbling and completed a spin pass, but he was controlled by Greg Oden as he accelerated into the paint...... His breakthrough path was too well predicted.

This leads to... The Duke had to pass the basketball to Milicic in a covert way.

But Milicic tried to shoot and was stopped by Roy, who was caught up by a lapper, with a foul.

Milicic walks to the free-throw line.

"You haven't really formed your own offensive system yet." Brandon Roy told Snoopy.

The young man, who is currently ranked third in the league as a scoring guard, has a dignified expression and a calm belief.

In fact, because the second-ranked Dwyane Wade doesn't play the old-fashioned collegiate point guard, Brandon Roy has been called the next shooting guard by a growing number of basketball pundits. This is probably why more and more people are referring to him as the Yellow Mamba.

Dugg knew what Roy was saying. Here's why... The reason for the previous dispute with Zach Randolph. If Dugg wants to temper the offense, he must have enough shooting power and dominance, but Zach obviously can't integrate well in this tactical system.

Swish! Swish!

Hit both free throws.

Milicic had a thrilling opening two points for the Knicks.

Subsequently, Brandon Roy still tirelessly launched an offensive from Duke Snoopy, Snoopy's defense on the perimeter has improved, but it still can't stop the fierce firepower of the league's third-scoring guard, and Brandon Roy is by no means the kind of score-oriented player, he is good at using his scoring ability to open up the situation and assist his teammates into the state.

Aldridge got a lot of chances, hitting two shots from a 45-degree angle 16 feet from the basket, which was a defensive area that Zach couldn't spread.

Zach tried very hard tonight to make singles in the paint, but every time he knocked Aldridge out of the way, Greg Oden's defense would cover it. And he's not a player who is good at passing the ball quickly, so his shooting percentage isn't very good in the first quarter.

And the Knicks, on the other hand, barely managed to maintain the score gap in the first quarter only with Kirksynridge's excellent play, and did not extend the margin to double digits.

Speaking on the Time Warner TV live broadcast in Portland, Drexler commented on Snoopy as a Trail Blazers legend: "He's a good player, he can provide playmaking and defense in the restricted area, and his ability to protect the basket is among the best in the league." He can also comb the team's attack in the No. 1 position and drive his teammates forward with passes. But he was in the No. 2 position tonight, even though he was training with Kobe Bryant all summer. But there are some things that training can't make up for. In terms of the ability of the No. 2 position alone, he is at least five levels behind Brandon Roy. ”

"Zach proved tonight why he was traded by Portland, he's still a fan of individual singles, and he's always been a gritty shot first and then a frontcourt rebound when it comes to passing and grabbing rebounds. In the face of some inadequate, his body shape and his ability to judge points can achieve good results. But standing in front of him tonight was Greg. If Oden can stay healthy and regain his athleticism, I think he'll be the best basket protector in the league. Moreover, he doesn't need any tactical support, he stands there, and he is a unique defensive system! ”

Portland fans are very happy to hear such comments, and in their hearts, they still think that Greg Oden is the best choice, and even if time goes back a hundred times, their No. 1 cap must be on Oden's head, not Durant. Last season, Greg Oden returned to play in 77 games, averaging 9 points, 7 rebounds (3 frontboards) and 1.6 blocks in 21 minutes per game while everyone was worried about his fragile knees, shooting 56 percent from the field.

Combined with his 21-year-old age, as well as his NBA qualifications that only played one year in college, and has a solid seven-foot height, although his athleticism has lost his near-average, he can still run and jump, train actively, and have the physique of Tarzan of the Apes.

Who would dare to despise him?

Still, God played a joke on everyone present.

The Knicks' coaching staff, which trailed by eight points in the first quarter, realized it was a bad decision to put Snoopy at the No. 2 position. As a result, Snoopy returned to the No. 4 position, and Zach Randolph became the center forward. He was joined by Stephen Marbury, James Johnson and Gallinari.

When Lord Duke appears in the No. 4 position and collaborates with his old partner Stephen Marbury, a completely different scene is immediately revealed.

Although he was a little difficult to defend against Aldridge's high jumper on the offensive end, he kept Aldridge from getting close to the basket, and his solid chassis skills kept him from saving half a step. At the same time, on the offensive end. His breakthrough was a bit struggling to cope with Rose, but the seven-foot-tall Aldridge struggled to keep up with the two quick cut-and-go changes, and he had to accept Snoopy's flash.

Greg Oden's defensive impact was as good as ever, but the Duke's passes were quicker than his reactions, and he always broke through the basketball and handed it to Randolph at the moment when Oden shifted his center of gravity. Randolph was quick to attack, and he was like a fish in water in the process, scoring one after another!

As Snoopy and Randolph opened up the situation on the inside, Gallinari and Stephen Marbury on the perimeter also began to show their swords frequently.

The pace of the game gradually shifted in favor of the Knicks. It wasn't until three minutes left in the second quarter that Zach Randolph paused slightly when he received Snoopy's breakaway pass, and Greg Oden was already on the air when he attempted a dunk...... Oden is a good boy who is aggressive defensively.

But his fate is a bit embarrassing.

The two heavy centre-forwards collided in the air and landed in a hurry almost at the same time.

Randolph fell backwards after hitting the ground, and he was very experienced in using the fat on the floor and back to remove gravity...... Although the image of him falling sparked ridicule from the audience on the sidelines, who thought that his fall was too funny.

In contrast, Greg Oden was more down-to-earth, landing solidly on the ground and very smoothly. But a third of a second later, his left foot bent rapidly, and his right foot jumped up, followed by a painful sound...... His hard landing brought pain to his left knee.

He had to stop the game and then jump back to the bench with the help of his teammates. This caused the whole stadium to sigh, and every fan looked worried and silently prayed to God that this guy was not harmed in any way.

In the chaos of the arena, the Trail Blazers team doctor made a judgment and helped Greg to the players' tunnel.

Everyone, including the Knicks players, hopes that Greg's fragile knee doesn't hurt anymore.

In an era of increasing confrontation, it is difficult for a great giant to replicate a Bill Wharton-esque legend if it is equated with injury.

"I'm sorry for this injury." Zach Randolph told Stephen Marbury, who was next to him, "Actually, if I had to turn back the clock, I would have chosen a quick layup instead of a dunk." ”

Marbury patted him on the shoulder, and he said calmly, "Actually, it's just a normal confrontation. Greg's injury in this confrontation can only show two things, first: his body is not ready. Second: Portland's team doctor didn't fully understand his physical condition. ”

Dugg on the side was thoughtful, and he muttered softly: "Didn't you notice that Auden actually has a little long and short feet?" ”
