The Portland Trail Blazers have been an unlucky team.

It's not really that they are black, but that Portland has been unfortunate since the beginning of the last century, specifically, for three reasons.

The first reason is that in the last century, the vision of the Trail Blazers' draft was very problematic, no, they had a list in their hands in 84, and it stands to reason that they just closed their eyes and guessed, Olajuwon and Jordan They can always get one.

The result? Just because there was a "glider" Drexler in the same position on the team at that time, they were worried about overlapping positions, so they decisively gave up Jordan (in fact, these two can play swing people, and they are really the strongest swing man combination together), after the Rockets selected Olajuwon with the top pick, the Trail Blazers chose a big center that everyone has never heard of now-Bowe.

Yes, it's normal that I haven't heard of it, because this guy has basically never played much, and after being selected, there are all kinds of injuries, not minor injuries, but the kind with broken legs, and the bones are poked out of the flesh on the field, and the whole person is scrapped on the spot.

Later, some people said that Bowe was a parallel importer, saying that the Trail Blazers were affected by him, well, to be fair, it is really hard to say whether he is in water or not, because he has not played much, if Bowe is healthy, he may not be able to become a top center like Olajuwon, but with his physical condition and technology, he can at least become a qualified starting center at the end of the second-rate peak first-class.

So the question is, even if Bowe has a history of injury, why didn't the team detect and cure it in advance?

This brings us to the second reason for the Trail Blazers' bad luck - disaster-level team doctors.

Portland's team doctor is probably one of the two most frequently cited team doctors in the league, the other being the Suns' team doctor.

However, the team doctor of the Suns, which is known as the existence of the "miracle doctor", many elderly players with an injury were treated by them, and they immediately rejuvenated their second spring.

And what about the trailblazers? They are famous "veterinarians", and if they treat them, it really is over.

That's how Bowe is, why did he break his leg in the game? It's the team doctor who said he could play, but in fact, the old injury on Bowe's leg at that time was not good, can he play with an injury?

Moreover, the veterinarian of the Trail Blazers is really an important force hindering the development of the team, after Bowe, they ushered in the "Roof of the World" Sabonis, although this guy was already a waste of his knees when he arrived at the Trail Blazers, but with the IQ of Lao Sa who has been playing for many years, if he can protect himself well and maintain a good state to play for seven or eight years, it is not a problem.

As a result, Sabonis was quite good in addition to the first one or two seasons he had just gone, and his attendance and performance were also "touching", a figure who could have become a benchmark for the center, was first delayed for half his life by political reasons, and then ruined in the hands of a group of veterinarians......

Then at the dawn of the new century, in the first years of the 21st century, the third reason for the Trail Blazers' bad luck also appeared, and that was the team's ethos.

In the 80s and 90s, there were Drexler, Pippen and others, and the Trail Blazers were also strong at that time, and the team atmosphere was okay.

But when all these old-timers are gone, what has become of the pioneers? "Portland Prison Brigade"! At that time, the outside world commented on them like this, so I asked if it was miserable, in this bad atmosphere, which player would play with peace of mind?

Later, the team finally rectified the atmosphere and won Roy and Aldridge in the draft, depending on the situation, it plans to make a comeback!

And the combination of these two people was once very exciting, especially Roy, a man who can be called "Yellow Mamba" by everyone, this guy's strength is beyond doubt.

Subsequently, in the 07 draft, the Trailblazers' vision was finally right, and they decisively chose Auden the Great, who has the potential to become a super center!

Roy, Oden, Aldridge, the team has three young talents at once!

At that time, Trail Blazers fans really felt that their team's spring was coming, and they sat back and waited for this combination to take the Trail Blazers further! Create brilliance!

However, they all forgot one thing at that time, the misfortune of the pioneers was caused by three reasons, and at that time, they only solved two of them!

And the rest is the deadliest!

Sure enough, just as Roy was about to take the Trailblazers to a big fight, the bad news came, and there was something wrong with his knee! At the same time, Oden also had to take a truce because of his old injury! The golden trio is left with Aldridge alone!

Like their predecessors, Roy and Oden were both destroyed at the hands of their own team doctors, and they were always injured and played again, and after a few times, the two of them finally couldn't hold on!

A combination that could have worked a miracle was ruined so hard!

From the '80s to the first decade of the new century, the Trail Blazers were truly one of the most unfortunate teams in the league, and it's no exaggeration to say that they were the face of tragedy.

However, there is a cause and effect, and if Roy and Oden had not been abolished, the Trail Blazers would not have been able to wait for the current new leader, Damian Lillard.

This time, Lillard was lucky not to have the same injuries as his predecessors, and he and Aldridge worked well together, which allowed the Trail Blazers to finish third in the West this year.

You must know that last year, although Lillard was not very convinced of Qin Yan, he didn't dare to say it so openly last year, even if his statistics last year could rank second among all rookies.

It's a pity that Lillard himself doesn't know, but Qin Yan remembers very well that after waiting for the last year, everyone else in the Trail Blazers' current starting lineup will leave the Trail Blazers, leaving Lillard alone.

That's when the real tragedy of the pioneers came!

A team that has been speaking for tragedy all year round is now ready to challenge a team that is as stable as a dog all year round, this kind of thing is not very reliable no matter how you look at it!

In the AT&T Center parking lot, the Trail Blazers team bus drove in.

Lillard got out of the car with his comrades, and Duncan and Qin Yan came out to greet them on the Spurs' side.

"LaMarcus, long time no see." Qin Yan didn't say hello to Lillard, but walked directly over to Aldridge, who was standing second on the team, and hugged him.

The two met at the All-Star last year, and Qin Yan still respects Duncan's hero who took up the Spurs' interior line after his retirement in his previous life.

Lillard's face was a little unpleasant, but fortunately Duncan was still there, and it wasn't a shame for Lillard and Duncan to chat.

"Tim, tonight's victory, we want it."

Lillard is really young and vigorous, and in front of Duncan, he really dares to say anything.

Duncan didn't speak, just reached out and pressed his large hand hard against Lillard's head.

"Well, the future is your ......"
