波特蘭開拓者隊花了很長時間讓卡梅隆·安東尼參與進攻。
儘管他在週二以115-104輸給新奧爾良鵜鶘隊的比賽中只得到10分，但顯然波特蘭的目標很明確：儘早並經常將球傳給梅洛。
在波特蘭的第一個財產中，安東尼受到了居安思危型國王中心人群的熱烈歡迎，他試圖派出鵜鶘前鋒肯裡奇·威廉姆斯。但是傳球太遲了，威廉姆斯走到前面搶斷。
下次在球場下時，進攻再次向Anthony進發，因為他嘗試從圓環頂部射門得分。它擊中了輪輞的後部。
然而，第三次是魅力，因為安東尼在球場左側取得了3分，正好超過他在376天裡首次獲得NBA得分的突破。
在那之後沒有太多，但這不是因為缺乏努力。在不到24分鐘的時間內，安東尼（Anthony）場上成績為14杆中的4杆，並且是六位得分上雙的開拓者之一。安東尼的三分球命中率為2-3，並且加了4個籃板和1個蓋帽。他還以五次失誤和糟糕的負20結束了比賽。只有CJ McCollum嘗試更多投籃（22）。
顯然，當安東尼在上半場犯規三次並在第三節初砍下第四分時，有些生鏽。在第五次犯規之後，他還剩下6:21時檢查出狀態良好。
在防守方面，安東尼也是如此。當他是主要的防守者時，鵜鶘在場上得分為8中的4，在三分線外則為5中的3。
NEW ORLEANS -- It didn't take long for the Portland Trail Blazers to get Carmelo Anthony involved in the offense.
And though he ended up with just 10 points in Tuesday's 115-104 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, it is abundantly clear that Portland's objective is clear: Get the ball to Melo ... early and often.
In Portland's very first possession, Anthony, who received a warm welcome from the Smoothie King Center crowd, tried to post up Pelicans forward Kenrich Williams. But the pass was late and Williams stepped in front for a steal.
The next time down the court, the offense worked its way to Anthony again as he attempted a field goal from the top of the circle. It hit the back of the rim.
The third time was the charm, however, as Anthony made a 3 from the left side of the court, just above the break for his first NBA points in 376 days.
There wasn't much after that, but it wasn't for lack of effort. In just under 24 minutes, Anthony finished 4-of-14 from the floor, and was one of six Blazers to score in double figures. Anthony was 2-of-3 on his 3-pointers and added four rebounds and one block. He also finished with five turnovers and a game-worst minus-20. Only CJ McCollum had more shot attempts (22).
There were bits of rust, clearly, as Anthony picked up three fouls in the first half and notched his fourth early in the third quarter. He checked out for good with 6:21 remaining, after his fifth foul.
On defense, Anthony was so-so, as well. When he was the primary defender, the Pelicans were 4-of-8 from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point range.
