When the Trail Blazers came to the stadium to warm up before the game, everyone was taken aback. There is still a long time before the game starts, but it seems that [-] to [-]% of the fans have already entered the stadium Yes, and when they entered the arena, the cheers instantly increased by a few decibels. Everyone had to speak with all their voices, so that the other party could not hear anything. Although they all supported the Blazers, it was too scary Bar?
Without waiting for the players to ask questions, McMillan said loudly to them: "Although you don't read the media reports, the fans will. It is precisely because of your big victory in the last game that they see the hope of advancing. That's why so many people come to watch you play. I won't say anything else, you can think about the expressions on the faces of the fans who support you if you lose. I know this is for you It is said to be a lot of pressure, but how can there be no pressure as a professional player? This game may not be important to you, but it is important to them, and they are your most die-hard fans. Whether you want to work hard or not during the game is up to you, as long as you feel worthy of them."

Everyone nodded silently. Every one of them could see the enthusiasm of the fans. This was pressure and motivation.During the warm-up, everyone was very serious and silent, and they didn't joke casually like usual, because they suddenly felt that this game was a very serious matter.And no one came up with a dunk that shocked the audience. Everyone was silently shooting, laying up, and warming up without any extra movements. It seemed to be in stark contrast to the passionate fans in the stands.But this does not mean that they have no fighting spirit. The so-called silence is just a volcano that has not yet erupted.

The shouting of the fans continued until the game officially started. Even after the warm-up of the players on both sides, they continued to sing all kinds of songs in the stands. Some songs were written for the team, and some were written for the players. Those who can't sing just beat hard with inflatable sticks, and I don't know if they will feel very tired.But this atmosphere also has a great advantage, that is, it turns the rose garden into the home of the devil.This is not good news for the visiting team. If they are not determined enough, they can only play more than half of their level in the Devil's home game.

So many coaches say that fans are the 16th person of the team (an NBA team can only have 15 players), because they can often cause a lot of interference to the opponent at home, and this is not allowed by the rules of the NBA forbidden.Basically, as long as the fans do not clash with the players or put up some racially discriminatory and abusive slogans, the fans will not be punished for doing anything in the stands.Moreover, basketball does not have so many rogue fan organizations compared to football, and naturally there are very few fans who are "banned" by the team.The so-called suspension means that fans are not allowed to enter the home court to watch the team's games. This is a very serious punishment for die-hard fans. No fan will like this kind of punishment, so most of the time they will not violate the team's rules. ban.

This time it was the Suns who suffered the most. As soon as they caught the ball, there would be a tsunami of boos from the stands. When they stood at the free throw line and prepared to make free throws, the fans facing them Will wave its inflatable wand to distract them from sight.This is allowed by NBA rules, so many players have already practiced the skills of hitting free throws with a deadpan face in away games, completely free from outside interference.Of course, the fans will still enjoy all kinds of interference with the players, as long as they can make them miss a free throw, it is a profit.

Amid the deafening boos at the scene, the Suns players missed consecutive shots. Only Nash had a good touch, so he had no choice but to score.Contrary to the Suns, the Trail Blazers players descended like tigers amid the cheers of the fans, scoring every point. Even Camby received consecutive passes from Ye Feng to complete the alley-oop.The Trail Blazers scored 35 points in a single quarter, while the Suns only had 23 points. The difference of 12 points is already a big hole. Although Ye Feng didn't score many points, he sent out 7 assists in a single quarter. It is also the result of the explosion of all the firepower of the team.

The Suns players feel very irritable. In fact, many of them are veterans, and to some extent they will not be affected by the fans on the sidelines.But the drumming noise of the Blazers fans in this game is really terrifying. As long as they get the ball, the overwhelming boos even make their hearts beat faster, and even their legs are a little soft.When it's the Blazers' turn to attack, the fans will shout "MVP! MVP!" in an organized manner. Although the voice is equally loud, it is very rhythmic and will not make the Blazers players feel strange.

But the Suns are a strong team after all. They were caught off guard by the noise of the fans in the first quarter, but at the beginning of the second quarter they adjusted their mentality and the offense began to recover.Nash breathed a sigh of relief. He is 35 years old, and his physical strength is no longer enough to support the team with his own offense throughout the game. Although he survived the first three quarters of the first game, he had no strength in the last quarter.If his teammates still don't get back the touch, he really has to go back to his scoring state and put aside the task of organizing the offense.

However, the Blazers showed a strong desire to win and the resilience to withstand the pressure. Even if the Suns' offense returned to a state of smooth flow, they fought against each other without fear.Although Hill desperately entangled Ye Feng, hoping to disrupt his rhythm, Ye Feng easily got rid of his defense, and then directly gave the ball to the neutral when Hill followed up again. teammates.Aldridge's touch is surprisingly good. It seems that the touch of the previous three games has been saved in this game. His straight-arm jumper is indeed the best in the league. Coupled with some fadeaways, it is a very severe test for defensive players. .

The two sides fought evenly in the second quarter, and the Suns led by 2 points in a single quarter, but this was only a small improvement from the 12 points in the first quarter, and the point difference was still in double digits.When the halftime whistle blew, the fans in the stands clamored again, applauding and cheering for the Trail Blazers players. Ye Feng looked at the turbulent fans, smiled, and walked into the player tunnel with his teammates.
