Chapter 90
Chapter 84: Chill
“The opening of the NBA draws the twilight O’Neal (!
“The king of the rose garden?”
“Then what am I?”
“That’s right, I don’t seem to be anything in your heart…”
No one noticed that from the beginning to the end of this fast break, Lillard, Westbrook, and Wang Zelin were always followed by a panting, taciturn big man.
LaMarcus Aldridge!
Because of his taciturn nature, he has been enduring the habitual neglect of Portland fans and even most of the media.
There was Roy before, and Oden behind, especially the latter. Even if the season is reimbursed, he can get the praise and expectations of the fans and take away all the attention.
On the other hand, Aldridge himself has been playing hard, but he has never been seen.
Later, after Roy was injured and Oden was hopeless, he was pushed to the position of the boss, but during those two years, he was criticized by fans as “playing softly” because of his outside play style.
It has only been a long time since the two rookies of the team have been here, and they have already been welcomed and encouraged by the Blazers fans.
Did you forget that in 2010-11, it was me, LaMarcus Aldridge, who led Portland to the playoffs again without being favored by everyone.
Do you like to treat people as dumb if you don’t speak?
Why can’t you see me more?
Am I really that bad?
Aldridge, who was once again neglected and ignored, looked at everything around him and always felt that he was so out of place.
Compared with the cheering atmosphere at the scene, a cold from the inside out made Aldridge feel an inexplicable sting in his heart.
Inadvertent ignorance has become commonplace.
Maybe, I never belonged here…
Just as Aldridge thought of leaving the team again, a familiar voice sounded again in his mind.
“LaMarcus, it’s all up to you in Portland from now on.”
This voice is full of regret and unwillingness, and its owner is the previous king of the rose garden – Brandon Roy.
In fact, after the 2009-10 rookie season ended, Aldridge had thought about staying away from Portland.
Not only because of the curse of the “Tear City”, there have been countless talented insiders who buried their futures in this “ominous place”, but Aldridge has never felt here in his heart. A sense of belonging.
At first, he and Roy didn’t deal with each other, but as the two found some like-minded things off the court, they gradually became acquainted, and later the two developed into good friends.
Although Roy was also plagued by some injuries in the 09-10 season, he still performed well. He started 65 games and averaged 21.5, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game.
Aldridge averaged 17.9 points, 8 assists, 2 points and a rebound.
The two of them make up the Trail Blazers twin that shines in Portland, though he’s the one that everyone ignores.
But I have to admit that the Blazers were indeed full of hope that year, and it was precisely because of the invitation from Roy, a friend, that Al’s contract would be renewed in advance immediately. The Blazers provided 65 million meters of gold for 5 years. Contracts.
As a result, Roy was injured the next season, and the sentence that came to mind just now was what Roy said to him on the night when he decided to retire.
At the same time, this is also a commitment. If it weren’t for the commitment to Roy, Aldridge felt that he might not be able to persist for so long.
“What are you thinking, boss, hurry back to defense.”
The many emotions that emerged in Aldridge’s heart were actually only a few seconds in reality.
On the way back to defense, Wang Zelin saw that Aldridge was in a daze, so you kindly went online to remind the other party.
“You, what did you just call me?”
Wang Zelin’s words brought Aldridge back to reality, and he was even more surprised by the word in the former’s mouth.
“Boss, what’s the matter? You are our leader. It’s up to you to win this game!”
Almost, Wang Zelin was about to put his hand on Aldridge’s forehead to see if the other party had a fever.
“Um.”
After the word leader was uttered by Wang Zelin, Aldridge once again recalled his commitment to Roy, and he had another reason to persuade himself to persevere: There are three more years, three more years, and then I will leave. , which is worthy of everyone.
Wang Zelin would never have imagined that in just a few seconds just now, the inner world of Aldridge in front of him was like a roller coaster with ups and downs.
…
The game continued, and Westbrook, who was tragically reduced to a background plate, took over Perkins’ baseline serve and quickly advanced to the Trail Blazers’ half court.
He is very angry now, and he just wants to find a chance to deduct one back, preferably on Wang Zelin.
Ibakali used more power than Aldridge to get stuck in the post ahead of schedule and beckoned for the ball.
When Westbrook saw this, although he was reluctant, it was still a lob and hoisted the ball into the inside line.
Fourth brother, ah no, it is rare for the third brother to speak, and the second brother of Zhu has to obey.
However, both Brook and Ibaka underestimated Aldridge’s desire to win this game.
Although Aldridge hates physical confrontation, it does not mean that he is afraid of physical confrontation. Otherwise, he would not have followed Coach McMillan’s arrangement and changed to No. 5 at any time.
Aldridge predicted the route of inheritance in advance, and aiming at the timing, he stretched out his left hand and stabbed the ball away, and the ball hit Durant’s back.
Fortunately, Durant quickly grabbed the ball, which avoided Westbrook’s mistake.
“TMD, did this soft guy take his medicine today? Why did he react so quickly?” Ibaka was a little surprised. It was not the first time he faced Aldridge, and the latter’s previous performance was not as tough as it is today.
After Durant received the ball, Wang Zelin added: “Man, look behind you.”
Seeing this, Batum behind him quickly ran towards Perkins.
“Come on, hit me up and let me see what you have to become a scoring champion.”
Durant this guy can be described as mixed in later generations.
However, as far as Wang Zelin is concerned, his approachable temperament alone makes him full of joy for Durant.
Durant had no expression on his face, and put on an action frame to single against Wang Zelin.
It seemed that he knew very well that the power disparity between the two sides was so humiliating that he couldn’t be beaten.
“Dude, do you think that little guy can guard this ball?”
Charles Barkley glanced at Wang Zelin, then asked Kenny Smith.
“It’s hard to guess. Wang Zelin’s matchup, but Durant, who ranks in the top five in the league, is an MVP-level player; what about you~www.readwn.com~ What do you think?”
Kenny Smith replied solemnly.
“I think so.”
Barkley expressed his approval and nodded again and again.
“Then you still ask me?”
Kenny Smith also thought how brilliant Barkley would have thought.
“It’s alright, I’ll ask”
“…”
