At first, the name was a basketball commentator who didn't give up the game when the Blazers faced the powerful Lakers, and fought with the Lakers to the end. When he gets excited, he shouts "rip City". At that time, it was not until 1977 pioneers won the first championship in the history of pioneers under the leadership of Bill Walton that the word "rip city" really spread. The fans were very excited and won the championship.
After Bill Walton won the championship for many years, the Portland Trailblazers never won the championship again, which made the name "torn city" gradually buried. Until Auden, aldridge and Lillard joined the pioneers one after another, Portland once again sounded the name of "torn city". It can be said that the name "Torn City" ignited the fighting spirit of all members of the Pioneers, making them more and more brave in the game.
Although once hit a wall in the playoffs and failed to enter the finals, the blazers did not give up the idea of winning the championship. They become stronger after repeated failures. Failure to win the championship for a while does not mean that they will never win the championship.
I believe the Trailblazers, led by Lillard, CJ mccollum, Anthony, nurkic and other powerful players, will definitely become the favorite team to win the NBA championship in the next few years. They are expected to "tear" the opponent's defense line again and again in the name of "tearing city", defeat the opponent with indomitable spirit and indomitable belief, and win the championship trophy for Portland again.
