No matter what the teams in the league think about the changes that Tracy McGrady will bring about joining the Lakers, it doesn't matter how the various media express their views and opinions.Because Tracy McGrady will start a day later in the Lakers game against the Trail Blazers.Tracy McGrady's performance is the best answer.As the saying goes, "It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk", local fans in Los Angeles all hope that Tracy McGrady will perform well, and the management can always remain shrewd instead of being laughed at by others. It's not a big amount, but it's already a lot of pressure on the tight salary space of the Lakers, because the few giants in the team occupy most of the salary space, so the Lakers' bench lineup is not outstanding. — No money to sign great players.

The Trail Blazers have not been very lucky in recent years. After selecting the traditional center Greg Oden, who is optimistic in the United States in 2007, it did not bring the expected good changes to the team. Greg Oden got hurt, hurt, kept getting hurt, kept getting reimbursed.Greg Oden, known as the "Emperor", is indeed well-known in the league, but he is a typical representative of a tragic character-a fragile glass man who has not played a full season.But even so, after the rookie contract passed, the Blazers' management still signed a large long-term contract with Greg Oden. I really don't know if the Blazers' management is mentally retarded.

Before that, the Trail Blazers' management used Randy Foye, who was selected at the seventh place, and Brandon Roy, the No. 2006 pick of the Timberwolves, in the draft. LaMarcus Aldridge, the inside player with the best overall physical fitness and basketball talent, was drafted.

Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge have become the two cores of the Trail Blazers. The Blazers management has completely abandoned the plan to use Greg Oden as the core of the interior and switched to Lamar Cus Aldridge.In the following seasons, the Trail Blazers achieved good results and became representatives of the league's young and middle-aged teams, especially Brandon Roy, who was selected as an All-Star twice.But bad luck soon fell on the Trail Blazers again. The head star Brandon Roy suffered from a knee injury. Now there are rumors that he is going to retire.

On November [-], the Lakers played at home against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.And Tracy McGrady will also start his debut with the Lakers, making a statement to the world-"The former Tracy McGrady is back!"

"Hey, Tracy, are you nervous? It's okay, with me covering you, even Kobe Bryant would not dare to do anything to you." After speaking, he challenged Kobe Bryant as if to prove it He raised his eyebrows, "Kobe, am I right?"

Perhaps Kobe Bryant, who had gotten used to Lin Fengzhe's various remarks and behaviors in the past few months, ignored Lin Fengzhe and went to find Li Yifeng.But before Kobe Bryant could speak, Li Yifeng said honestly, "Kobe, Fengzhe told me that if you bully Tracy, let me take care of you." fist.Kobe Bryant got a burst of integrity, and went directly to coach Mike Brown to discuss tactical issues, and enjoyed his rare assistant coaching career.

"How? I'm not wrong, am I! Kobe is afraid of me." Lin Fengzhe hooked Tracy McGrady's neck, and patted his chest with the other hand, "Follow me, no problem !"

The other players of the Lakers laughed and watched Lin Fengzhe playing tricks alone.Since Lin Fengzhe and Li Yifeng joined the Lakers, the atmosphere in the locker room of the Lakers has become much more lively, and it is no longer as depressing as it used to be.And everyone also knows that the management intends to train Lin Fengzhe to be the team leader and core after Kobe Bryant.As for Andrew Bynum?Well, wait until the guy actually learns to play with his head on the court and not be so impulsive.

Today's game was broadcast live across the United States by **, and the guest hosts were Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy.The two broke out the starting lineup for today's game.

For the Trail Blazers, Marcus Camby, LaMarcus Aldridge, Gerald Wallace, Wesley Matthews, Raymond Felton.

For the Lakers, Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, World Peace, Tracy McGrady, Derek Fisher.After only one start, Devin Ebanks, who is full of motivation and wants to show himself to be valued by the management, returned to the bench again.

"I'm really happy for Tracy, and I can join such a team that has always had a deep heritage." Jeff Van Gundy looked at Tracy McGrady who was warming up on the court, feeling a lot in his heart, "I hope he can give This team brings good help."

"Come on, Jeff!" Mark Jackson continued, "I didn't hit you. Tracy's competitive state is not what it used to be. I really don't know what the Lakers management thinks, but they gave him two years. A contract of more than 500 million. You know, it was not easy for Tracy to get a veteran's basic salary last season."

Andrew Bynum made the jump and World Peace ran upfield immediately after getting the ball to Derek Fisher, looking for his position.

Derek Fisher was very face-saving, and immediately handed the ball to Tracy McGrady after the players settled down, letting him single Wesley Matthews, the other players of the Lakers also had a tacit understanding. Defensively defending his own players to space the floor for Tracy McGrady.

Tracy McGrady dribbles to the top arc, slowly dribbling.Wesley Matthews took a step forward to defend the opponent's breakthrough.

Tracy McGrady's erratic shoulder swaying confuses defenders, and after a crotch dribble, the ball is passed to the right hand, and the left foot strides towards the left side of Wesley Matthews. and go.Wesley Matthews stepped to the left reflexively.But Tracy McGrady pulled the ball back, retreated to the three-point line again, took off and shot without making any adjustments, and the basketball slammed into the basket with a "boom".

The DJ shouted "THREE—BALL—!" Jeff Van Gundy also cheered loudly, "Tracey's ball is really beautiful, and he is on par with him at his peak!"

After the basketball was shot, Tracy McGrady didn't even look at whether the basketball went in or not, so she turned over and ran back, confident in her shooting.

On the defensive end, Tracy McGrady is also very active, and the speed of lateral movement is not as slow as it was with the Detroit Pistons last season.Tracy McGrady played 8 minutes in the first quarter, made four of five two-pointers and two of three three-pointers. He scored [-] points in the first quarter, and also recorded a rebound and an assist.

Jeff Van Gundy yelled "Tracy is back!" Indeed, such crazy scoring and high shooting percentages are rare even for McGrady at his peak. What's more, McGrady is now in his 30s and still Can be so crazy.

Mike Brown clapped hands with Tracy McGrady who was off the court, and Kobe Bryant, who was playing as a guest assistant coach off the court, jumped up and bumped into Tracy McGrady regardless of his injury. chest.

Trail Blazers head coach Kalebo Canales frowned. The first quarter was coming to an end. Very tight.In terms of offense, today's Lakers Twin Towers completely play the role of blue-collars. Everyone actively creates scoring opportunities for Tracy McGrady, but they don't play much on the offensive end.It was precisely because of this that it made him feel more difficult to deal with.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 24 to 18, and the point difference did not expand further.

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, Tracy McGrady played again, replacing Steve Blake, while Lin Fengzhe moved to the point guard position.

Lin Fengzhe dribbled the ball across the half and handed it to McGrady.Jamal Crawford immediately stepped forward to defend.Tracy McGrady faced Jamal Crawford's defense with a crotch dribble and then swayed left and right, trying to break through from Jamal Crawford's right side.

Jamal Crawford's defensive ability is still worthy of recognition. Although his scoring ability has weakened, his defensive strength is still there. He will quickly keep up with Tracy McGrady and prevent the opponent from scoring easily.Tracy McGrady pulls up and steps back.

Jamal Crawford stepped forward to block the shot immediately after adjusting his center of gravity.Tracy McGrady made a fake pass and passed the basketball to Li Yifeng who grabbed the space under the basket. Li Yifeng caught the ball and dunked with both hands. After landing, he pointed to Tracy McGrady to indicate that it was a good shot .

In the end, when the final whistle came, the score was fixed at 115 to 90. The Lakers beat the Portland Trail Blazers by a big score at home. Six players on the team scored in double figures.Tracy McGrady played 30 minutes in the game and scored 28 points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal. He perfectly staged the return of the king.

This night belonged to Tracy McGrady, who proved his worth to the world and indirectly justified the management of the Lakers.

When the game ended, Tracy McGrady stayed on the sidelines to speak to reporters.
