When Anjie stepped out of the tunnel and stepped onto the court, he happened to see the Spurs players also walking out at the same time.

The Spurs' tunnel was across the street from the Trail Blazers, and the Aldridge guy craned his neck to look through the crowd. When he saw Angel and Lillard, the low-key silent guy suddenly laughed.

"You two stinky boys, are you here with a whole bunch of brothers ready to steal the victory!?" Aldridge greeted him with open arms and hugged Lillard and Angel hard.

"You guy, how could you lose to the Warriors like that last season? Today, I'm here to teach you how to win. An Jie patted Aldridge on the back, this guy has accompanied him through the peak time, and is one of An Jie's best friends.

Although he said cruel words, An Jie was only happy to see Aldridge again.

"Don't talk big man, that Leonard guy isn't going to give up his victory. Aldridge said, looking at Kawhi Leonard, who was silently warming up. When he was still with the Trail Blazers, Aldridge didn't think this taciturn guy would be the future of the Spurs. But his growth was beyond everyone's expectations. Now, Leonard is also one of the league's top superstars, and if he hadn't been injured by Pachulia last season, the Warriors really wouldn't have qualified.

"What about you, would you be willing to give up your victory?" Anjie stared at Aldridge with interest.

"I'm going to kick your ass, Ann!"

"Hahaha!" The three old friends laughed out loud in the middle circle, and although they were laughing happily now, the fans knew it. After the game starts later, none of these three very good buddies will be soft.

The NBA is a professional league, and all three of them are professional players. Sometimes, professional footballers and professional killers are quite similar, because when they are working, even if they meet their best friends or even mentors, they must be able to kill!

After chatting a few more words, the three of them each returned to their own warm-up half. The moment they turned around, the smiles on the faces of all three guys disappeared instantly.

The warm time of catching up is over, and there will be only fierce and brutal battles on this basketball court!

The season opener is the finale, and neither side wants to lose. What's more, the game was played in San Antonio. Aldridge certainly doesn't want to lose at home, even if he knows how terrifying Anjie's strength is.

Warm-up, national anthem, player introduction ceremony...... After a set of procedures came down, the time had come to nine o'clock in the evening. After waiting for so long, An Jie was finally able to stand in the middle circle. The battle he longed for had finally arrived!

Spurs former center Dwayne Dedmon opted out of his contract this summer to join the Hawks. Therefore, Pau Gasol, who has just signed a contract extension with the Spurs, has to take the starting five position.

Pau Gasol is indeed a very good player, and he is also one of the legends of Spanish basketball. But when this already successful Spaniard stood in front of An Jie, he was still a little nervous.

The 37-year-old Pau Gasol knows that when he faces Anjie later, he will definitely have a very difficult time. Not to mention the 37-year-old Gasol, there is no inside player in this league who will be easy against Anjie.

In the early days of Anjie's career, there was also a Craig Smith who could always restrain Anjie by mistake. But with Anjie's continuous growth, progress and stereotyping, this alliance can no longer find an inside line that can fight for Anjie.

Thinking that he would probably be tortured by Anjie in various ways later, Pau Gasol couldn't help but swallow. So much so that when the referee threw the ball into the air, Gasol didn't have time to react.

Paul seemed to be a little distracted, the ball was already in Anjie's hands, and the Spaniard started to jump. If Gasol wants to put on a show today, he'll have to be vigilant!"

Angel easily slapped the ball into Lillard's hand, and Lillard gestured and pushed slowly.

Although the Trail Blazers now have a group of players who can run and jump, Rickard still insists on playing slow pace and positional warfare. He hasn't forgotten who the core of this team is, he hasn't forgotten that his team revolves around the center to play!

Lillard stopped two steps outside the three-point line, Paul George and Iguodala quickly started to run, and Leonard had to be vigilant, after all, Paul George on the Trail Blazers team is also a top scorer!

Leonard and Danny Green have bitten George and Iguodala respectively, and as things stand, George and Iguodala don't even have a chance to connect the ball, let alone scoring!

But George and Iguodala's running was only a pinch, and the two of them successfully brought the Spurs' defense to the wings, while the middle was open!

Lillard didn't choose to break through on his own, but made a direct pass. The basketball went straight inside through the empty middle.

Anjie leaned on Pau Gasol to receive the basketball, Gasol's heart was beating wildly, he didn't know how Anjie would attack later, because this offensive kaleidoscope can do almost anything. And facing the unknown is often the scariest thing on the basketball court!

Angel winked at Morris, who understood and stayed away from the basket, ready to hoist Aldridge away and create a singles opportunity for Angel.

Aldridge hesitated for a moment and decided to continue defending the basket! He would rather let Morris shoot than finish the pack with Gasol!

This is the dilemma of Anjie on the offensive end after Aldridge left Anjie. Morris is indeed strong, but on the offensive end, he can't give Anjie much support. People can let him go, and then wrap up Anjie wholeheartedly.

Think about it before, if someone dared to put Aldridge like this, then the Trail Blazers' offense might have ended.

In the face of the bag, An Jie was in danger. For so many years in the Vertical and Horizontal Alliance, what kind of bag and bag An Jie has never encountered? As a top inside line in the league, breaking the bag and clip, that is the most basic skill!

Aldridge and Gasol have forced Anjie to death, and now there is very little space for Anjie to pass the ball.

But it was in this small space that An Jie found Lillard among the cracks.

Lillard didn't stop long after receiving the basketball, but immediately threw it out again.

"Huh?" Aldridge couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him as he watched the basketball fly towards his head.

At this time, the strong Andrew Morris was already jumping violently at Aldridge! His target was naturally the basketball that was thrown by Lillard!

"Damn!" Aldridge tried to stop Morris, but before he could jump, Morris's strong body pressed against him.

Aldridge could only raise his arms now, but could do nothing. Morris got his wish to receive the basketball and smashed the ball into the basket through Aldridge!

"Bang!" The basketball hoop made a loud noise, and the center was suddenly silent, and Morris's air relay just now was violently dunked, making everyone fall through the glasses!

"You've given him too much space to sprint, you can't let this guy rush, no!" Popovich began to roar at Aldridge from the sidelines, and Aldridge reluctantly picked up the basketball on the ground. He didn't expect that it was Andrew Morris, who seemed the least threatening, to end the attack in the end.

What about An Jie? This guy smirked. He knew that Morris's strength had always been underestimated. Although his technical stuff is a little rougher, Morris's physicality and athleticism, as well as his desire for basketball, are definitely among the best in the league.

20 million in 2 years, if it weren't for Anjie, Morris's salary would have to be doubled wherever he went!

"Well done man, blow it up, your mom blew up the whole audience!" An Jie high-fived Morris hard, and at this moment, he seemed to go back to ten years ago. At that time, they were still called the Whirlwind Three Musketeers......

After being scored by Morris, Aldridge no longer dared to be unscrupulous against Anjie. Morris can't shoot, but he can still score in a way other than shooting.

In order to keep Morris from rushing up, Aldridge had to keep a close distance from him. However, such a distance simply cannot allow Aldridge to take care of Anjie at the same time.

So, Pau Gasol's worst fears came. An Jie doubled under the basket twice in a row, both of which were easy.

He first hit Gasol with a hook hand to his remorse, and then used a strong dunk after turning around to beat the Spanish tower very helplessly.

In the end, Aldridge still decided to adopt a trap tactic against Anjie! He still didn't want to believe that Morris could succeed in every air relay.

After the Spurs did so, it was clear that some results were paying off. Lillard made a mistake in order to throw an aerial relay pass for Morris. And Morris also found that he simply can't find the space to sprint fully right now. The first goal was scored just now, and it was indeed a bit of luck in it.

The Spurs managed to defend the Trail Blazers for two rounds, while Aldridge and Leonard each hit a mid-range shot to close the gap.

Just when the Spurs were about to take control of the pace of the game outside the fans at the ATT Center, the situation on the court changed again!

After Leonard hit another two-pointer, Lillard's gestures in possession seemed to be a little different than before.

Angel looked at Lillard, who was directing the offense, and he immediately ran out of the three-second zone instead of waiting inside to feed the ball like before.

Just when people thought that An Jie wanted to catch the ball outside the three-point line, he suddenly covered his crotch with his hands and stood next to Leonard.

That's when Paul George started to get rid of Leonard on the pick-and-roll and out of the three-point line. Lillard started to pass the ball in time, and Leonard quickly got rid of the entanglement with Anjie.

George took the ball and threw it, and Leonard also desperately blocked it. If Matthews is interfered like this, maybe Anjie should think about fighting for offensive rebounds. But now, the guy who shot the basketball is called Paul George!

The basketball flew over everyone's heads in a very high arc, and then it went straight through the net and hit a three-point shot!

Lillard, Anjie and George worked together perfectly. Oh my God, if I didn't say it, I would definitely think they've been on the same team for years!"

George raised his arms in the air and gestured to three. Anjie applauded George while retreating, and the offensive stalemate was easily broken by Paul George.

Aldridge picked up the basketball from the ground again, and he looked at the five guys who were waiting across from him.

Lillard, George, Iguodala, Morris and Angel......

Such a lineup is indeed too strong. Just looking at An Jie's death, I'm afraid it's not enough.

This Trail Blazers team is completely different from the previous two years, and they are very dangerous at every point on the court. It can be said that their current lineup is armed to the teeth!

Aldridge couldn't help but pout, if he wanted to win, it would be more difficult than he imagined...... 89
