Anthony joined the Thunder, and Westbrook was finally no longer alone. Thomas and Rose joined the Cavaliers at the same time, and James had countless helpers. With Rudy Gay joining the Spurs, Aldridge and Leonard are fully prepared. With Jimmy Butler joining the Timberwolves, Minnesota may usher in a new spring. With Chris Paul joining the Rockets, the Western Conference Finals doesn’t look far away. Zhou Qi officially signed a contract with Hugh City, and An Jie will no longer be the only Chinese in the NBA.
And the most important thing. The Portland Trail Blazers successfully recruited Paul George and Andrew Morris, two of Angel’s friends. This 00 legend is bound to move towards a higher goal with their concerted efforts.
Everything that happened this summer of 2017 has changed the NBA landscape. The strong teams in the West are everywhere, but the stars in the East have been lost.
The fans are looking forward to it, hoping that the new season can come soon. After all, the NBA hasn’t seen such a scene of contention in a long time.
Super team, superstar group, these two terms are no longer just the patent of certain teams, but have become a standard configuration that a team must have if it wants to hit the honor.
Like the fans looking forward to the new season, there is also the current star of the Portland Trail Blazers, who is currently number one in the NBA salary rankings, An Jie!
As October is approaching, Anjie’s training is getting more and more frequent. He doesn’t want to wait until the pre-match training camp starts to resume training. This guy hopes to put himself in a good state before the training camp starts.
With the help of Ganner Peterson and other personal trainers, Anjie quickly adjusted his body. At this moment, he is completely out of the holiday rest state and can immediately engage in high-intensity competitions. go with.
At the same time, Paul George and Morris have also completed a series of tasks such as moving. Portland has once again become the focus of attention all over the world.

“No! Coach George Ricard said, no one is allowed inside!” At the entrance of the home team training field of Moda Center, a lot of reporters were blocked by two stadium security.
Today is the first day of the pre-match training camp for the new NBA season. As the protagonist of news and public opinion this summer, the first gathering of the Trail Blazers must have attracted the attention of most reporters.
“The team did not set up an open training today, so please come back! We will never let it go!” The security guard shouted at the door. The reporters had no choice but to disperse and wait outside the Moda Center.
Watching the crowd gradually disperse, the two security guards guarding the gate of the training ground breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh my god, the last time so many reporters showed up in the Moda Center was when the Ann created the Dynasty three years ago. It’s really been too long since we saw this situation.” A security guard took off his hat and fanned the wind. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, trying to stop the reporters.
“Get used to all of this man, I think our lives will go back in the next year. Moda Center, it will definitely be like this every day in the future.” Another slightly fat security guard looked at the door tightly. The closed training ground, the group of people in this training ground now, is like a delicious cake. All reporters hope to get a share of the pie.
Although he will be busier in the future, the fat reporter still smiled slightly. He knew that his favorite Trail Blazers had risen again!

An Jie looked at the crowded training ground, everyone was very positive, and everyone was full of longing for the new season.
An Jie looked at the three fake championship pennants hanging on the roof of the training ground. Yes, it has been two years since he won the championship last time. Two years have made the people in this training hall very different.
Aldridge, who always shot silently, is gone, and the old Miller who always likes to joke with young players is gone. The desperate figure of Wesley Matthews no longer exists. Nicholas Batum, who loves to tell jokes, has already left. By the way, there is also Robin Lopez, who always likes to stand up to himself, but is absolutely trustworthy at critical moments, and has now become an out-and-out “New Yorker.”
It’s different, everything is different in a blink of an eye. Now working hard to practice back-up singles, it is Nurkic, a teenager born in the 90s from Bosnia and Herzegovina who has never heard of Anjie two years ago. The one who was joking with the players was Anjie’s old teammate and friend, Andrew Morris. As for the person who is shooting the basket over and over again, he has also changed from Aldridge to Paul George…
An Jie didn’t know what it would be like in another two years. But he knows that no matter how the Trail Blazers become, the pennants hanging on the top are the goals of the Trail Blazers!
“Ann! What are you going to do in a daze!? Go warm up!” As Anjie stared at the training ground and meditated, Ricard’s voice came into Anjie’s ears.
“Got it, Boss!” An Jie smiled slightly and began to warm up under the guidance of the trainer.
Although Anjie missed the old days very much, he had to admit. The feeling now is also very good!
“Okay, guys, come here!” Seeing that the players are almost warming up, Ricard clapped his hands and yelled to signal the players to move closer to him.
Today is the first day of the training camp before the new season. As usual, the head coach will definitely say something to the players.
Morris and Ricard were already very familiar with each other, but it was Paul George. He still didn’t know what this “notorious” hooligan coach would say during training.
“I see your eyes, all the **** are like bandits. Why? You want to wear championship rings?” Ricard looked at the players eager to try in front of him, and said with a smile.
“Can’t wait, boss!” Morris, who joined the team, was the first to answer. His answer also resonated with the rest of the team.
This guy Morris has such a character, he can quickly integrate into a brand new environment. At this moment, Morris behaves as if he has been with the Trail Blazers for several years.
“How about you? George, why don’t you speak?” Seeing George still seemed a little unwilling to let go, Ricard deliberately “called a question by name”.
“Me? I just want training to start quickly, and then I will show everyone how much change I can bring to this team.” George learns very quickly, and he now speaks a bit of a “blazer” style. .
“Hahahaha, I like you kid! No wonder An will be friends with you, you **** are a bunch of bastards! Okay, you have heard what George said. Go and get ready for me, the first of the new season Let’s start with the back-and-forth training class! I want to see what you guys have done all summer! Go, let me stand on the bottom line!”
Seeing Ricard yelling on the court and the players running non-stop, Divac couldn’t help but smile.
How long has it been since the Trail Blazers have had such vitality? It seems that this season, he has no chance to take a vacation in advance.

Paul George’s possession of the ball from the three-point line attracted the defense of Matt Barnes and Afflaro. For George, who is 2.06 meters tall, when he is active in the second position, he His height advantage has brought him unlimited benefits.
At this moment, despite encountering double-teams, George can still see the situation on the court with his own vision.
Just before the double-team was about to complete, George suddenly lifted the ball over his head and passed it hard. The basketball flew over Barnes’ fingertips and flew towards Lillard who had borrowed Iguodala’s ball-free pick and roll and cut in.
After Lillard received the basketball and lost Cousins, the deterrence of the Kings in the paint was greatly reduced. Although Cauley Stein is a very good young man, he is not strong enough to frighten Lillard.
Lillard took the opportunity to start three steps, seemingly intending to layup and attack the frame!
How could the young and energetic Cauley Stan allow Lillard to run wild on his head? He must use a **** big shot to let the zero guard know who is in the penalty area!
Lillard pushed Coley Stan on his shoulders and forcibly took off. Stan stretched his arms in the air, covering Lillard. This time it’s blocked and can’t run away!
At this moment, Lillard, who seemed to be preparing for a layup, suddenly took the ball and passed his arm around Stan’s waist, and stuffed the orange ball into Angel’s hand.
Kings power forward Anthony Tolliver naturally knew what this meant. He wanted to rush to the penalty area but was stopped by the fierce Morris.
An Jie held the basketball steadily. At this time, Cauley Stein, who was deceived by Lillard, hadn’t landed yet. In front of An Jie, there is an undefended basket!
So this number 00 is full of energy, both feet are used to take off at the same time, and his body is upright. When the height was right, Anjie slammed his arms, and the basketball was smashed into the hoop. The basketball stand of the Sacramento Sleeping Train Arena also made a painful “groan”!
“Dump dunk under the basket! Ann’s dunk strength reminds me of Shaq sitting next to me!” Kenny Smith grabbed the microphone and shouted. Such a dunk is worth cheering for.
“A typical tactic of the Trail Blazers~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Kings have nothing to do. This year, the Trail Blazers are too strong. The most important thing is that this group of guys who are already strong enough, since they can do it all. The points and points are played according to the tactics. Look at their subtle cooperation, from Iguodala’s off-the-ball pick and roll to Anjie’s final dunk with both hands in place. This process is more beautiful than the final dunk.” espn Over there, Jeff Van Gundy’s perspective is completely different from Kenny Smith.
He couldn’t help sighing in his heart that Ricard, this guy, could manage this group of stars to be submissive.
After Anjie scored, he slapped four teammates on the field. The Sleeping Train Arena was about to fall, and it would be effortless to capture here.
68 to 40, when An Jie dunked the goal, the Kings were missing Cousins, Gay and Ben McCollum, and the gap was widened to 30 points, only one step away.
In the first game of the preseason, the closely watched Trail Blazers showed their unparalleled strength.
Seeing Cowley Stan running towards him, Anjie couldn’t help hooking his finger at the little guy.
“Come on, boy. The slaughter is not over yet”!
