Seeing the expressions of his teammates, Lillard was inexplicably angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Aldridge is used to it, when he played the Rockets in the playoffs last season, because the Rockets were not so strong, the Trail Blazers players were like playing chicken blood.

But when they met the Spurs in the second round, the Spurs were almost invincible in the regular season last season, and even the Lakers couldn't challenge it, and then most of the Trail Blazers' players were intimidated, and they lost their fighting spirit before the series even started, if it weren't for the crazy scoring of Lillard and Aldridge in the fourth game, they were almost swept by the Spurs.

Of course, the Trail Blazers only won that series.

This time when they met the Lakers, who were as ferocious as the Spurs last season, the Trail Blazers players had all their faces written that they couldn't beat.

Aldridge now has a face almost written on his face that I want to leave, he doesn't care about the state of his teammates at all, he just wants to play well and be liked by the teams he likes.

Among them, the opponent in front of him, the Lakers, is undoubtedly Aldridge's most favored team.

Coincidentally, after the end of this season, the Lakers have room to sign Aldridge due to Nash's retirement, Jeremy Lin's contract expiration, Kobe Bryant's and Gasol's decreasing contracts year by year, and most of the players are rookie contracts and base salaries!

Aldridge's next contract is not a contract extension with his parent team, then the starting salary is 18.9 million, and the Lakers have 19.5 million after freeing up these spaces.

Lillard saw Aldridge's expression and knew what this teammate was thinking now, and he said: "Ladd, if you want to be favored by the Lakers, you have to play better than Gasol, don't look at his statistics this year, but his efficiency is the first in the league among big forwards!" ”

First? Aldridge raised his eyebrows, and then returned to his non-caring appearance: "Really? ”

Aldridge is now averaging 21.7 points per game this season, and his average points per game are much lower than last season, but rebounds and assists have skyrocketed, rebounds have risen from 11.6 last season to 12.5, and he has averaged 4.1 career-high assists per game.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the Lakers' home game against the Trail Blazers is about to begin.

Players from both sides enter.

Liu Ren was really taken aback when he saw the average data of Trail Blazers players on the big screen.

"These two rampant guys are holding such a mouthful?"

It's no wonder that Liu Ren was surprised, and the Lakers fans at the scene were equally surprised.

The Trail Blazers are now third in the West with 25 wins and 9 losses, the Rockets fourth, the Clippers fifth, the Grizzlies sixth, the Spurs seventh, and the Pelicans eighth.

The Rockets have a slight advantage in this ranking, with the Clippers having the same record as the Trail Blazers but only fifth, and the Rockets 24-10 but fourth.

The reason is that the Rockets have the first record in the Southwest Division and automatically get a position in the top four.

The main reason why Lakers fans are surprised is that their team has 32 wins and 3 losses this year, except for the Bulls in the 95-96 season and the Lakers in the 71-72 season when they won 69-13, and the Celtics won 68 wins, no other team in history can compare.

What surprised Lakers fans was the player stats on the Trail Blazers' big screen.

The starting line-ups were:

Lakers: Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.

Trail Blazers: Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Lopets.

It's not the point who starts it, it's the point that the Trail Blazers' player stats are incredible.

Aldridge is averaging 21.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, which is good and powerful, and no one else in the league can play such stats except for Anthony Davis and Cousins.

Lillard averaged 21.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, and he almost became a player in the 20+5+5 club, a proper super point guard.

Matthews averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and he was not bad as a three-man shooting guard.

And then...... The Trail Blazers no longer have players averaging double-doubles per game!

That's right, the Trail Blazers are so unique, they are a different kind of fireworks, as the fourth team in the league and third in the West, they only have three players averaging double-doubles per game!

What's the other team with only three players averaging double-doubles per game?

Well, no!

The Trail Blazers have the fewest double-doubles per game of any team in the league!

Looking at the other top players, the Lakers have six players in double figures, the Warriors have seven in double figures, the Hawks have six in double figures, and the Rockets have eight in double figures......

The other two Trail Blazers' starters, Batum and Lopets, both averaged 8 points per game.

The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is also intoxicating, averaging a high of 7 points per game and a low of 4 points per game, which means that everyone can score when Lillard and Aldridge are packed, but no one can score many points, which means that this team does not have a strong point on the bench!

"Is this the third lineup in the West?" Fans feel hell.

"These two guys are arrogant to the point of being annoying, but they do have strength!" Liu Ren recognized Lillard and Aldridge a little more in his heart.

In the past, Liu Ren didn't pay much attention to the Trail Blazers, and knew that these two players were good, but he didn't expect them to be so strong, especially Aldridge, who played the Lakers inside a few times last season as if he was playing, and he was taking what he wanted.

Given some of last season's festive season, neither player spoke to each other at the start, and soon, the pre-match event ended and the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air.

Jump Ball!

Gasol really can't jump Lopez Jr., a black muscular man, the Trail Blazers attack first, and Lillard dribbles forward.

Defending Lillard is Clarkson.

Jeremy Lin is better than Clarkson in many ways, but in terms of physical fitness, he really can't compare with Clarkson, a black speed player, after half a year of NBA-level training, the 22-year-old has grown his muscles quickly, and he is already stronger than Jeremy Lin, and faster, and the defensive end is much better.

In order to stay out of the game against the Trail Blazers' No. 1 starter in the starting period, D'Antoni once again put Jeremy Lin on the bench and promoted Clarkson to the starting lineup.

Clarkson's performance in the limited playing time in the last few games is indeed much better than that of Jeremy Lin, a player like him during Lin's crazy period, often going high and low, playing well at the beginning of the season, and can often even be described as amazing, but as the season goes on, it slowly declines inexplicably.

According to Bickerstaff's strategy, Liu Ren first tried to defend Matthews not as the first defender in this game, but to defend Matthews, so Clarkson, who had a better defense, replaced Jeremy Lin as the starter, and let Jeremy Lin defend Lillard can only be described as a disaster.

After Lillard passed the half, he saw that he was defending him with a player he had never seen before, and he was immediately very upset.

"A rookie to guard me?" Lillard is a grumpy and explodes in an instant!
