Portland fans are in high spirits, and their desire for a championship has returned after entering the semifinals.
Owner Tang Jianguo has been talking about "four consecutive championships," attracting more media attention and bigger newspaper coverage.
The championship genes of the Trail Blazers have been triggered, and the war machine has started to operate from top to bottom.
It's spewing thick black smoke, making explosive sounds, crushing Western Conference opponents.
However, sitting in the driver's seat is Beelman, and at the heart of the team is Gan Guoyang, who knows best that the Trail Blazers are weak.
They are much weaker than in past seasons; although a 58-win record in the regular season is still impressive, a record is always just a surface number.
Once the playoffs begin, the only role of the regular season record is to determine whether you have four or three home games, and nothing more.
