From Today it is the King of the Basketball

Portland, a good place, Rose City, really a good place.

Don't look at Portland small, the United States ranks only 19th in terms of total income, but there are not many people here. The population of Portland's urban area is only more than 500,000, and a small town with more than 500,000 people ranks in total income. The top 20 in the United States, although it is usually seventeen eighty-nine or even the twentieth, but this is exaggerated on average. The per capita income of downtown Portland has ranked first in the United States for many years, but if it is expanded to Portland's metropolitan area is much lower, but it can often rank in the top ten.

Portland is close to the Pacific Ocean. It has a standard maritime climate. It is rich in roses. The environment is very good and the tourism industry is developed. This is similar to Atlanta. It is also a gathering place for the rich.

For example, the Blazers ’boss, former Microsoft ’s second boss Paul Allen, left Silicon Valley after being seriously ill in 1985, came to Portland for convalescence, settled here, and later bought the Portland Trail Blazers in 1998. Immediately hit 100 million and got Scott Pippen, a member of the Dream 2 team, All-Star guard Steve Smith, Flying Mouse Damon Stoudemire, Brian Grant in 1999. Wait for a lot of high-paid players, and reached the Western Conference finals in 1999-2000 season.

A wealthy boss is self-willed. Look at the Blazers ’payroll. This season ’s salary is US $ 89.72 million. This year ’s salary cap is 42.58 million. The luxury tax threshold is more than 51 million, which means that the Blazers have to pay this season. More than 30 million luxury taxes.

This is not the first year. When the Blazers were bought from Paul Allen, their salaries were almost double the salary caps! The salary of the Blazers is rising every year, because they will use it no matter what the exception is. For example, there are no restrictions on the middle class clause, which will be used every year, and they are basically four or five years of long-term players.

Said that the Dolan of the Knicks was a loser. In fact, in recent years, the Knicks' salary has been so low as that of the Blazers by 20 million yuan. It was not until 2005 that they got rid of the league's highest-paid team.

But who made the Knicks' reputation for bad contracts too loud, the Blazers gave those big contracts anyway and scored in the Western Conference, proving that the big contracts at that time were worthwhile, and the stars were no way to get older, and the big names the Knicks gave The contract is simply a honey contract.

The Hawks are expected to hit 50 wins this season, and the Blazers, who are only seventh in the West, also have a chance to hit 50 wins. The 9-7 record is actually no worse than the Hawks.

So the Hawks take this game very seriously.

Hawks conducted an afternoon of game research and simulation training before the game, and targeted tactical research on the Blazers.

Liu Mang didn't look at the Blazers' player list once, and it hurt.

How many people did the Blazers dig!

In 7 years, 80 million was dug from the Raptors to 1995's best rookie Damon Stoudemire. In 5 years, 73 million was dug out of Pippen. Just before the summer draft conference in the past, the Spurs contract was traded with a second round. Player Derrick Anderson, renewed a five-year 50 million contract ...

"Fuck! Rich people are perverted! Emmanuel, I'm playing Derek Anderson and Damon Stoudemire tonight, how about you?" Liu Mang asked while stretching before the game .

"I want to match Ruben-Patterson and Steve Kerr ..." Emmanuelle's sad look.

Liu Mang said the same sad reminder, the Trailblazers 'guard line looks too scary, but the more sad reminder is the frontcourt, the Blazers' frontcourt is also a stroke!

……

The Blazers lineup looks great, but this year's start is not satisfactory, the reinforcement has not been seen as strong, the previous stars have begun to age, and have faded out of the championship contenders, can only compete for the playoffs in the west.

So the Eagles still have a chance to win the game.

On December 4th, at 6pm EST, the Hawks played away with the Blazers.

The Hawks finally returned, and Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohamed and Ratliff all appeared.

Overall, although the Hawks have no starlight, but the practicality is strong enough in this era!

The three players in the frontcourt are very defensive, and Rahim is the top player who can penetrate many team defenses. The defender also has Jason Terry, who can still keep up with the NBA rhythm even after ten years. The 40-year-old artillery is very practical.

A look at the Blazers can be described as bright stars, flying squirrel Stoudemire, big stick Bunch Wells, Scott Pippen, Rashid Wallace, Dale David Don't look at anything else. This adds up to a lineup of almost 60 million salary, and there is no one. The NBA's most expensive starter, no one!

However, according to the analysis of experts and media before the game, it is the Hawks' starting strength!

There are three reasons for.

The first is the rationality of the lineup.

The Hawks' team lineup is mainly Jason Terry and Rahim, and there is no situation of battling for the right.

At the same time, the Hawks have absolute strengths, and there are two. Jason Terry is close to the comprehensive strength of first-class stars. From the scoring point, it is already a first-class star, but the defense is too much.

And Raheem is another absolute strong point, and at the peak, he is rare in the entire NBA small forward than him. He averages 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. It is difficult for anyone to match.

For the Blazers, in addition to Dale Davis, a dedicated and hard-working center, the other four, whether they are Stoudemire, Bunch Wells, Pippen or even Rashid Wallace, need to hold ball.

Especially Pippen. In the past few years, Pippen was actually good when he was young. He can still rely on excellent impact and no ball movement to maintain efficiency, but he has been 35 years old. He fell very badly, without a ball. Nothing works.

The second is the aging lineup of Blazers. This and the third point can be combined. Some of the Blazers are not satisfied with their salary. This person is Bunch Wells.

Watching Pippen and Dale Davis two 34-year-old men holding more than 10 million contracts, due to their short stature, the little flying squirrel that began to deteriorate seriously at the age of 30 also took more than 80 million for seven years. After the rookie contract ended, he only got a two-year 8 million renewal and the new season's highest scoring average of 20.3 points per game. Bunch Wells went straight to Paul Allen to raise his salary.

This would have to mention the stubborn agent Harmon Anthony of Bunch Wells, that is the one who will make Bunch Wells do not want the Kings 4 years 32 million contract and let him pursue 10 million annual salary. There is no pit father agent that the team wants.

Liu Mang was looking forward to the starting big brother who could die as soon as the Trail Blazers went up, and then he came up to show his strength. After all, the few pre-match news about the game before the game all said that the Eagles are more powerful. Advantage, defeating the aging pioneers of the core lineup is not a problem ~ www.readwn.com ~ so he is very confident.

But, as the saying goes, soft is afraid of hard, hard is afraid of horizontal, and horizontal is afraid of Erzongzi.

Why does Bunch-Wells stick at home and abroad? Not only because his name is Bunch, but also a very important reason is that he is a stunner!

Being limped by the agent is a proof, and the other is that he was not afraid when he played Bowen! Feet? Laozi tramples on you, playing a game is called a miser!

One meter ninety six height, playing like a power forward, everyone pulled him to chisel!

Bonkey Wells scored 20 points per game in the first dozen games this year, just because he found himself to be the team with the most scoring scores. Why did he renew his contract in the summer for 2 years and 8 million? He has to use practical actions to prove that he deserves a big contract!

The lineup of the Blazers has an advantage, except for Dell Davis, the other four people have three points! Especially the power forward Rashid Wallace is actually the most accurate three-pointer of the Trail Blazers. He made as many three-pointers as Reggie Miller last season!

The space of the trailblazers was very open, and Bunch-Wells slowly chiseled inside. He was strong enough to compare with the inside, especially the huge ass, one dozen and one!

The Blazers played the rhythm very slowly, and the Hawks could not fight back! Offensive power is reduced by at least half! I can only rely on Rahim inside chisel or Jason Terry singles, the efficiency is too low! Know that the Hawks are one of the NBA's fastest-paced teams this season. During the start of 9 wins and 1 loss, the offensive rounds ranked among the top five in the league!

Liu Mang looked at the Blazers' rhythm and grinded his skin. He played **** his side and was dumbfounded.

Your starting line is not good, how do we play with these small substitutes!
