2 points upset the defending champion! All 30 teams in the league lost, Yang Hansen’s competitor Cheng Qibing

In the NBA regular season, the defending champion Thunder lost to the Trail Blazers 119-121 in back-to-back away games, ending their eight-game winning streak.

This result was a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect that the defending champion’s undefeated streak would end with the Trail Blazers. The key is that they once established a 22-point lead this time, but they didn’t expect that in the end they were reversed by their opponents and missed the opportunity to create the best start in team history.

The Blazers' performance this season was very surprising. Everyone thought they would continue to perform poorly. Unexpectedly, they came out in excellent form, which also caused Chinese player Yang Hansen to lose the chance to play. Facing the defending champion this time, even if they were behind by as much as 22 points, they were still able to achieve a comeback, especially in the last quarter, when they scored 40 points in a single quarter. At the critical moment, they withstood the Thunder's counterattack and deliberately fouled to prevent the opponent from equalizing.

As the Trail Blazers upset the defending champion, all 30 teams in the NBA have lost, and no team remains undefeated. It's a pity for the Thunder, and they are indeed tired of back-to-back games. They originally had a 20-point lead in the first quarter, but they unexpectedly suffered a reversal in the end. Alexander was unable to make a comeback this time, shooting 10 of 26 and scoring 35 points and 9 rebounds. Wiggins next to him scored 27 points on 7 of 10 three-pointers. Unfortunately, it was a free shot, otherwise he would have become a surprise player.

The Trail Blazers are blooming a lot, and three of them have scored 20+ points. Avdija frequently caused damage and went to the free throw line despite poor touch. He made 5 of 17 free throws and 15 of 16 free throws. He scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists, a near-triple-double. In addition, veteran Holiday made 6 of 10 three-pointers and scored 22 points and 6 rebounds, while Grant on the bench scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. This time, Reese on the bench became a surprise player. He hit three-pointers one after another, giving the team a chance to counterattack.

Reese played 20 minutes in the game, making 4 of 5 three-pointers, scoring 12 points and 2 assists, with a game-high plus-minus of +21. In other words, in the 20 minutes that Reese played, the Blazers completely won points, helping the team continue to close the score. You know, Reese's roster at the beginning of the season was behind Yang Hansen, but now he has seized the opportunity to complete the counterattack. Yang Hansen has been DNP for 3 consecutive games, sitting on the sidelines and witnessing the team's upset victory.
