My New Home submitted by gregoden Posted: July 01, 2007 Im in Portland, Oregon it is a very beautiful place. A place that i can now call home for a long time. Being drafted # 1 is great but to be drafted by Portland and # 1 is the best thing in the world. Im feeling really good right now in my life. Im finishing off the greatest year of my life. Enough about my feelings let me tell you about how great the place im going to be living and representing for sometime. The summers here are the greatest thing in the world. It rarely rains in the summer, the temperature is always perfect, there is no humidity, and when theres a breeze you can feel it. Now the winters on the other hand, thats a different story. I haven't experienced it but from what people have told me that it rains not very hard, and not a lot at a time just slow drizzled spread out through a long time. Im sure ill be able to handle it. 以上大为称赞了Portland这个地方，说很漂亮、天气好、夏天太阳很大又不下雨， 气温刚刚好，空气中也没有潮湿的气味，不过很多人都警告过他 "winter is a different story" 不过他说他确定到了冬天，他应该没问题 (你要确定喔～ 去年Aldridge还被冬天的雨天吓到>.<) The people here are great, they love their Trailblazers. When i got here i went to the Rose Garden and meet the staff, they all had on ODEN shirts and gave me a big welcome I loved all of it. They showed me the video of what had happen draft night when people went crazy and stormed the court after they called my name. The staff is really cool i cant wait to get to know all of them. After i meet the staff the staff and i all went to downtown Portland where they had a rally for me. It was a whole lot of people there. When im in interviews and i say i dont want to put a lot of pressure on myself, it is very hard when you see all of these people and the excitement they have for the Trailblazers how they look at me as the savior. It hard cause you want to be, to make everyone happy and just have a good time and enjoy basketball. A lot of people do not get to do that for there city or themselves. The rally was fun i got to introduce my family, i introduced my brother first so he got all excited he think he gonna get every lady in Portland now. 这边的人也很棒，当我来了之後我先去球场认识那边的人，每个人都有一件Oden上衣 穿在身上并且热烈的欢迎我，我觉得很棒！他们还给我看了选秀当晚球迷在Rose Garden疯狂庆祝的影片，(请搭配服用https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0pCtkxun9g) 大家冲入球场中并且叫喊我的名字。这些工作人员都很酷，我迫不及待要认识他们 每一个了。 之後我就去市中心的球迷庆祝会，人真的很多。在访谈中我说过我我不想给自己太多 压力，但是看到这麽多人为你感到兴奋，把你当成救世主，真的很难不这麽想。因为 你会想要让他们高兴并让他们享受篮球。在庆祝会中我介绍了我的家人，我第一个介 绍我弟弟(or哥哥?) 他很兴奋他要开始认识每位Portland的女士了 After the rally i went and did media, where the length of the week really hit me. I just had nothing in me, but after that i had a photo shoot, jumbo tron video, and audio voice over. Actually the guys who were doing all that stuff gave me energy so those were fun. I also got to see one of my good friends that night Josh McRoberts. Hes here with me and thats gonna make everything that much better to be here in this great city with one of my good friends is awesome. I love it here and im glad to represent this city and i will do everything in my power to give this team the chance to bring back a NBA championship, and i know it will not be easy. 庆祝会结束後我去和媒体见面，这一整个礼拜似乎都有见不完的媒体。当天晚上还和 Josh McRobert见面，这让来这打球这件事变得更加的美好了。我喜欢这里，我也会尽 我所能为他们再拿回一个冠军，而我知道这并不容易。 --
