After checking in the hotel, the Lakers coaching staff specially reminded new players not to go out casually. It is best to stay in the hotel except to adapt to the venue together, and do not wear Lakers' sportswear when going out, so as not to be provoked by fans.

In the four major sports leagues in the United States, Portland has only one NBA team, the Trail Blazers, and this is the only child!

With the support of the elders and fellow villagers, the Trail Blazers enjoy supreme love. Whenever they fight at home, the villagers will always come to the scene with great enthusiasm to cheer for the home team. Their cheering method is to attack and humiliate the opponent in a variety of ways. Because the atmosphere on the scene is too warm, the name of "Portland Prison" gradually spread.

The Lakers are now the number one enemy of the Trail Blazers. In Guo Xu's previous life, Portland fans hated the Lakers until 2012, believing that the Lakers ruined the Trail Blazers' best chance to win the championship in 2000.

In 12 years, the famous Glassman star Brandon Roy was about to make a comeback. Fans said that except for the Lakers, no matter what uniform Roy wore, Portland will always welcome him and will never boo.

Guo Xu didn't go anywhere, stayed in the hotel and called his family.

Kay said: "You must be careful in this game. I heard that the fans who were having dinner said that the two teams had a grudge, and the defensive movements might be very big. It doesn't matter if you can't play well, don't get hurt."

"The coach said this game will increase my playing time, and I won't just play for a few minutes like I did in the preseason."

Kay said in surprise: "Ah? Then didn't he harm you?"

"Ha?" Guo Xu was speechless about his mother's argument.

Kai Yi said again: "You have a very high salary now. In the future, you will strive to get a middle-class contract. We will buy financial products and usually earn enough interest..."

Guo Xu only chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. He and the ball blind mother were not the same channel at all. Perhaps because he was the only child, his parents always thought about "safety first" rather than whether he could become a superstar in the future.

On the evening of the 31st, the opening game of the NBA new season began.

The regular season single roster is 12 players and the Lakers have only 13 players to play, defender Pan Pessi is excluded.

In the locker room, Jackson did not speak to boost morale, and the players' mentality was relatively relaxed. The advantage of veterans lies in their ability to adjust. They have seen too many storms, and a opening game will not make them excited.

O'Neal smiled and patted Guo Xu from behind. "Jason, are you nervous?"

"One thing." Guo Xu answered truthfully: "But I will definitely overcome the emotional impact."

"The Trail Blazers fans will definitely boo us when they appear, don't be afraid." O'Neal smiled.

"Don't underestimate me, the least I fear is booing." Guo Xu was weak when he was reborn. He was booed in tennis courts, boxing clubs, and nightclubs. This little thing didn't stimulate him.

Seeing that he wasn't nervous, O'Neal drew the topic far. "Hey, have you ever watched the movie "One Head Two Bigs"? I watched it last night and highly recommend it to you."

"No, you just watched it yesterday? I've watched this movie several times..."

Less than a month after knowing each other, Guo Xu and O'Neal became very good friends, and they were too much of a conversation.

O'Neal's personality is lively and cheerful, and even carefree. He is one of the few pistachios among NBA players. Guo Xu is also a person who can't stay idle. He can play and is very concerned about many entertainment projects.

They all like the entertainment industry and are willing to try to be actors; they are all jokers, like to tell jokes, and have no airs when dealing with people and things; they are all interested in fighting and kung fu; their biggest similarity is that they all like to dance awkwardly, and they can play together anytime, anywhere.

The players appeared on time, and the Trail Blazers fans gave Lakers players a tsunami boo. Even if they were just new players and had never experienced the last playoffs, they were still ashamed.

The Trail Blazers players received warm applause when they appeared. However, no matter how encouraged it, the Trail Blazers were at a disadvantage today. Veteran center Sabonis was absent due to injury, and they lacked the flesh shield to deal with O'Neal.

ESPN live broadcast of the game, commentator Mark Woodson bluntly expressed his disapproval of the Trail Blazers. "How the Trail Blazers defend O'Neal today is a big problem, and I think they can't defend at all."

Partner Tom Hovas smiled and said: "It is still possible for the Trail Blazers to get a good start. Their advantage is that they have a lot of scoring points. Stadameier's performance is very important. After Fisher was injured, the Lakers only have veterans and new players, and the No. 1 weakness is obvious."

Five Lakers starters: Harper, Kobe, Rick Fox, Horeth Grant, O'Neal.

Trail Blazers starters: Damon Stadameer, Steve Smith, Scott Pippen, Rashid Wallace, Dell Davis.

Davis, who was 211CM tall and weighed 104 kg, jumped to the ball and won the game.

Pippen received the ball in the middle and organized the ball. The players pulled away. Stadameier went to the right corner. After joining the Trail Blazers, Stadameier was a little different from the point guard, and the team didn't need him to organize it.

Kobe's main defense and point guard was a trick last season. He followed closely, making it difficult for Stadameier to catch the ball. Fox is also a player with outstanding defense. Pippen was unable to get rid of the ball with the ball and passed the ball to Smith who was running. Harper chased and defended in time, forcing Smith to turn around and had to pass the ball again.

Jackson asked Harper to start to strengthen defense, and he was not afraid of misplaced positions in every position on the court.

After several times, the ball was passed to Rashid. He turned around and jumped into the ball with his straight arm. This was Rashid's unique trick. He used it with perfection and shot very high, making it difficult for the opponent to block. 0 to 2.

The Lakers attacked, Harper slowly dribbled through the half-court, which was really slow, and he violated the rules almost 9 seconds. He had to rely on the width of the court and physical advantage to avoid Stadameer's steal.

The Lakers' formation was widened, Harper passed to Kobe, and Kobe was close to Pippen and got rid of it. Rashid changed defense and blocked it. Kobe failed to break through and passed the ball to the middle. Grant had no chance to take action directly, and passed the ball to Pippen again.

O'Neal asked for the ball at the low post, and Davis used a front-circling defense. It was not until 24 seconds that Fox passed the ball backwards to O'Neal. The fat man received the ball and caused Davis to foul it. He also threw the ball with one hand and hit the board.

O'Neilga missed the free throw, 2-2.

The Trail Blazers attacked and passed back and forth again. After 15 seconds, Smith relied on Rashid to get rid of Harper and missed the ball with a three-point jump shot. Fox grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Harper to transport it to the frontcourt. Harper made another mistake when he asked Kobe for a mistake, and was caught in the position and successfully intercepted by Pippen.

Pippen was transported to the frontcourt and passed it to Smith, who fought Fox with one-on-one and forced a layup missed due to interference. Rashid quickly grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored again. 2-4.

The Lakers' offense, Harper's pace was terrible. He only passed twice after 15 seconds. Kobe missed the jump shot against Pippen, and O'Neal drew out of the penalty area. Kobe picked up the ball and jumped again, but he still missed it under Pippen's interference.

O'Neal showed the strength of a superstar, used his huge body to squeeze out the defender, grabbed the frontcourt rebound and scored a dunk. Davis did not dare to foul again. 4 to 4.

The Trail Blazers continued to land on the ground and passed back and forth, without stopping without 20 seconds. After the player made a blacksmith, the Lakers grabbed defensive rebounds. They were the key to the inside, mainly singles. O'Neal did not make every time, and the one-handed throw missed in Davis' defense.
