The general public opinion is that the Trail Blazers have suffered a loss, including domestic fans.

Since Wang Zelin's performance has gotten better and better, the Portland Trail Blazers have undoubtedly become the home team in the hearts of Chinese fans. Therefore, domestic fans have done more research on the future development, planning, and prediction of the Trail Blazers than those in the United States.

Fans are more concerned.

Netizens on major Tieba forums, social media software, etc. had intense discussions on this three-party transaction, and finally came to a unanimous result.

Anyway, with the current lineup of the Trail Blazers, it is impossible to reach the championship in the first year. As long as Wang Zelin's position is stable, domestic fans will be satisfied.

In the Boston Celtics' general manager's room, general manager Danny Ainge is drinking tea with head coach Doc Rivers.

"Mr. Anji, how is your plan to trade the King of China going?"

Doc Rivers asked after getting a refill.

"not so good!"

Danny Ainge shook his head subconsciously and talked about the original discussion with Blazers general manager Orsi.

"That guy Orsi said that Wang is not for sale to their team and cannot be put on the shelves."

"So, where's LaMarcus?"

Doc Rivers was stunned and continued to ask.

Wang Zelin can't do it, but Aldridge can do it. Anyway, I'm not picky about food.

"No, it's mainly because we don't have the equivalent of a bargaining chip."

"Don't we have KG?"

As soon as these words came out, Doc Rivers saw Danny Ainge's eyes roll, and he reacted quickly.

Garnett is almost 35, so naturally he can't compare with Aldridge's potential at his peak.

Someone silently took another drink.

…

On the afternoon of the 11th, all members of the Trail Blazers arrived in Toronto, the largest city in Maple Leaf Country, to challenge the Raptors, the only team among the 30 teams in the league whose home games are outside the country.

It has to be said that the Trail Blazers' schedule this season is simply poisonous. After a wave of eight consecutive away games, they only played one home game and started another consecutive away trip.

The Trail Blazers' schedule will gradually improve after the All-Star Game.

To describe it simply and crudely, it is: tight in the early stage, loose in the later stage!

The Raptors have now entered the era of "Melancholic God" DeMar DeRozan and Mosaic's old "Little Steel Cannon" Kyle Lowry.

emm, meet old Mosaic generals again!

The Raptors, also known as the "Cute Dragons," have not entered the playoffs for four consecutive years, and their performance this season is as bad as ever.

Not only was it ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference with 8 wins and 15 losses, but it also experienced four consecutive defeats before.

For this game, even if it is at home, fans are not optimistic that they can win.

During the pre-game warm-up period, Kyle Lowry came to the Trail Blazers half court to greet Wang Zelin.

"Hello, Wang!"

Perhaps because he was a teammate with Yao Ming, Lowry's "Hello" was very good, at least not as outrageous as O'Neal's version.

"Hello, Lori."

Wang Zelin stepped forward and showed Lori various gestures used when black people meet, which not only surprised the other party, but also caused a burst of exclamation from the audience in front of the TV.

"Wang, I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

"Hahaha, I think these are quite interesting, so I went to learn them. Hey, don't tell me, it's quite easy to get started."

Wang Zelin did not lie to Lori. In fact, he couldn't figure out why he felt so fast.

It’s impossible that most of the player cards he merged are black players, so it’s easier to master some skills of black players, right?

After a few more pleasantries, the game soon started.

According to the seven-day freeze day in NBA trade rules, Magic power forward Mike Roberts, acquired by the Trail Blazers in a trade, needs to wait until the next game to appear.

Fortunately, the team only traded away three players, so they can still make up a 12-man roster for this game, otherwise they would have to recruit players from the Development League.

Coach Terry took a look at the names of the players who can play tonight...

Except for the impact of Hickson's departure on the rotation, the Blazers' lineup remains unchanged, and the lineup seems to be much more reasonable than before.

It's more than enough to beat the Raptors.

Coach Terry thought so.

At 5:10, the Trail Blazers' fifth away game against the Raptors in December will begin at the Maple Leaf National Airline Center Arena, and players from both sides begin to enter the stadium.

For the Raptors, Kyle Lowry, Michael Brooks, DeMar DeRozan, Andre Bargyani, Jonas Valanciunas.

For the Trail Blazers, Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.

At the end of the entrance ceremony, the cheerleaders retreated, and gentleman Wang Zelin also withdrew his gaze.

At 5:20, the game started on time.

Wang Zelin gave the Trail Blazers a chance to take the lead, and Aldridge asked for the ball in the frontcourt for a single.

This is a battle between the No. 1 pick in 2006 and the No. 2 pick. Aldridge started uncharacteristically, with an extremely high desire to score.

Aldridge was very motivated, and after several consecutive fake moves to shake off Bargyani, he turned around and took aim.

"Whoosh!"

Basketball goes hollow into the net.

Aldridge took the lead for the team.

After scoring the goal, his expression was quite cold. He didn't even bother to look at Bagyani and quickly returned to defense.

This greatly stimulated Bagyani's self-esteem.

?There has always been a saying in the NBA that "the No. 2 pick must be a loser." As the No. 2 pick, Aldridge played early and was selected for the All-Star Game last season. Now the outside world seems to be that the one who loses is undoubtedly his body.

He is the number one scholar.

"Andre, pay attention to defense!"

Raptors head coach Casey yelled from the sidelines.

Bagyani bit his lip and silently went to the sidelines to serve.

In the Raptors' offense, Kyle Lowry suddenly accelerated in the frontcourt, forced Lillard to succeed, and passed DeRozan, who was cutting in near the free throw line.

A black whirlwind passed by Wang Zelin.

"boom!"

As expected of a man who had participated in the slam dunk contest, he stubbornly shook the windmill in the air before dunking the ball in.

Vaguely, some older Raptors fans remembered their former pride and now their traitors.

"Fuck, luckily labor and management got the money!"

"Fake, that guy's body is too strong!"

Trail Blazers players No. 36 and No. 0 couldn't help but curse in their hearts.

2:2.

"Demar~~~De!Rozan!!!"

The home DJ shouted loudly, and the fans at the scene were completely ignited by the dunk. The audience cheered and reveled, and the bold ones even kissed the beautiful girls they didn't know around them.

The melancholic male god is great!

The game continues.

Lillard received the ball and advanced, while Aldridge and Wang Zelin were in the low post on the left and right sides respectively.

Kyle Lowry followed Lillard's footsteps one step in front of the free throw line. Lillard suddenly burst out, probably trying to break through the defender's defense with his speed.

Unfortunately, Kyle Lowry's strength exceeded his expectations.

Seeing this, Matthews quickly ran to the left, blocking Kyle Lowry. Lillard changed direction and stepped into the paint area.

?The Raptors were sitting in the three-second zone with Valanciunas. This time, Lillard did not hesitate. After entering the three-second period, he directly jumped into the air, took off, stretched into a big bow in the air, and forcefully hit the basketball through the defender.

Pressed in.

Valanciunas was knocked back several steps by Lillard's impact and leaned against the basket to stabilize his body.

2:4.

"Beep beep beep!"
