Ben在游戏中的这份报告中称赞。在比赛之前，我要求他专门专注于竞技场的气氛...让我们对实际存在而不是在电视上看或阅读回顾的感觉有所了解。我认为这对于度假会很棒。
If you have not been to a game yet and you are able to, do yourself a big favor and get to one of the ones in the next week. They're all at home, they're all winnable, and we're in the midst of one of the greatest streaks in franchise history. You really need to get there and experience the live game, the costumes, the signs, the noise, and the atmosphere.
Good evening, America, nice to meet you. We are Portland. We are young, hungry, seemingly unstoppable and oh so glad to welcome you along on this ride of ours.
The ESPN machine came rumbling through town. They overtook the press room, increased the Blackberry and hair gel quotient, and, in the end, seemed to thoroughly enjoy the show. Our show. That's right, the single hottest team in the National Basketball Association with some of the loudest, proudest fans in the league.
Will all of the pomp and circumstance help Brandon's all star campaign? I hope so. Will Nate start getting the Coach of the Year respect that he deserves? I hope so. Will the country realize that the Portland crowd tonight was louder than the Cleveland and Los Angeles crowds combined? I don't know how they could miss that.
代替a longer write-up, I tried my best to document the in-arena insanity below. If you were there, please share anything I missed. I'm sure there is a lot.
Merry Christmas Blazers fans.
Post-Game Quotes:
内特（Nate）捍卫超音速：“与杜兰特（Durant）和szczerbiak一起，他们是很棒的射手，我们想做的就是挤满他们，我们在上半场失去了他们的过渡，下半场有点……[他们的]双队，我们进行了交叉对决，[过渡时]找不到我们的男人...我们试图做的是跑到我们的男人身上，当他们打那个3-2区时，他们用完了，做或错过，很难找到你的男人...我们尽早输掉了三分之一。
Nate on the game rhythm tonight: "It just didn't feel like we had that rhythm... But 93 attempts at the basket, 6 turnovers, you got 27 assists, you'll take that rhythm!"
Nate on the keys to victory: "We felt like transition buckets and offensive rebounding were the two keys that kept it close. Keeping Collison off the boards, and finding Wally and Kevin, were what we wanted to do."
Nate on Przybilla and the team's rebounding: "We wanted to go to the offensive glass against them. I thought Joel just did a nice job defensive rebounding for us and everybody attacked the offensive glass. You know you have to pick your poison, are you going to try to attack the boards or get back on defense? We wanted to attack the glass."
随机游戏说明：
Blazersedge读者Dan最初是从本德（Bend），但在盐湖城（Salt Lake City）上大学的休息时间恰好坐在我旁边。他（和所有出席的Blazersedge读者）都在周围度过了一场精彩的圣诞节表演...我看到了红色的Bill Walton Throwback球衣。先生，赛赛前，里克·布切尔（Ric Bucher）杂耍了两个黑莓，摇摆着蓝牙耳机，正在经历一堆统计数据，并为他自己封锁了整个新闻室。那是很大的时光。另外，他也许是我亲自见过的最好的人。里克·布切尔（Ric Bucher）的头发可能是我圣诞节的亮点 - 也许我的优先事项不是井井有条……并不是人群中的每个人都收到了“穿红色”备忘录，但格雷格·奥登（Greg Oden）却做到了。他的夹克可能是天鹅绒……内特（Nate）也是如此，他在摇摆着一条鲜艳的红色领带...有趣的赛前对话：詹姆斯·琼斯（James Jones）和库尔特·托马斯（Kurt Thomas）进行了漫长的聊天。可能是为了争论谁在更荒谬的情况下发生了什么。有人还记得他们是否一起玩AAU吗？我相信它们都来自环城公路。 Jack had both Durant and Wilkins laughing with whatever story he was telling... I almost got ran over by Frank Brickowski in the Sonics locker room. I simply could not hold my position to take the charge... The warm-up music tonight was "Standing Ovation" by Young Jeezy. Not a very subtly-titled selection but definitely appropriate on this night... Speaking of Jack, he confidently grabbed the microphone pre-game to say: "On behalf of the Blazers, we would like to say thank you for coming out and being the best fans every night. Thank you and happy holidays!" More evidence that Jarrett Jack is the man ... Awesome pregame video from the Blazers on the big screen: highlights from each of the 10 games on the winning streak. Great idea; even better execution... Blaze the Trail Cat was rocking antlers tonight and made an over-the-head half-court shot during one of the intermissions, nothing but net, incredible... Some of the signs I saw tonight: "Brandon Roy is an All Star"; "Make it 11, #7"; "Eleven Straight Portland wins" (with the N capitalized for ESPN); "Joy to the Roy", and "Roy to the World"... Oden recited a holiday poem on the big screen which ended with, ""As for me, my knee will be alright//Happy holidays to you all, and go Blazers tonight!" You can easily imagine the cheers he received for this... How sweet was Sergio's no look pass? ... I asked Jon Barry, "How `bout them Blazers?" at halftime. I received only a brief, puzzled look up before he went back to playing on his phone... Darius Miles was shown on the scoreboard and received boos (on Christmas!). I understand the frustration but come on, guys... Last week, I was unsure how Paul Allen could represent tonight's 11th straight win during his post-game celebration when he only has 10 fingers. Clearly, he is the founder of Microsoft for a reason. This problem didn't challenge him in the slightest. He simply held up one finger on each hand. Truly startling that I didn't foresee this coming.
