"Slow down!"

Lillard heard Rickard's shouts and immediately slowed down his advance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this moment, Derek Fischer, who was old but still strong, was in front of Lillard.

Despite being a first-year rookie, Lillard is not afraid to face an old man like Fischer. This guy is a natural killer, and he will not be afraid of any strong enemy, even if the person in front of him is An Jie.

"Hurry up, hurry up, block and dismantle!"

Anjie immediately got rid of the entanglement with Meyers Leonard, the 2.16-meter-tall white interior lineman, which was another gain for the Trail Blazers in the draft this year. This season, the tall white center will also replace Marcus Camby, who has left New York, as the blue-collar role on the Trail Blazers' bench lineup.

As soon as Angel's pick-and-roll was in place, Damion Lillard suddenly kicked in! No deceptive feints, no masterful rhythmic changes. Lillard simply relied on Express and Anjie's pick-and-roll to easily break through Derek Fischer's defense.

Breaking into the inside, Aldridge immediately followed the tactics to pull the middle distance, Iguodala and Wesley Matthews stood outside the three-point line on the two wings, and Anjie followed closely behind, struggling to cut inside.

Lillard's breakthrough speed was not much worse than Westbrook's, and just as he was about to force a layup against Leonard's defense, Lillard suddenly shifted the ball out of the three-point line.

Iguodala, who received the ball, made a shot, and everyone's attention was on him. Iguodala casually shot the ball, and the basketball looked inaccurate.

At this time, An Jie, who cut inside, rose from the ground and received the basketball that was still flying in the air. Mayers Leonard raised his hands high to stop Anjie, but Anjie used his strong body to complete the dunk through Leonard!

"Oh!" Iguodala snorted, giving Angel a thumbs up. Anjie pointed at Iguodala in gratitude, and then patted Leonard on the shoulder and explained to the rookie center what to look for in defensive positioning.

Seeing this scene on the field, Rickard smiled with satisfaction. It's been less than a week since the team practiced together, but the on-court offense makes it seem like the team has been playing together for several years. And the rookie players in the team can also be taught by the veteran players in time, such as Meyers Leonard, who has learned a lot from Anjie these days.

"Alright, let's take a break, let's shoot the ball next!" Ricard blew his whistle and the players sat on the floor casually and chatted with each other.

"It's so much easier. Angel did it next to Ricard, and the smile kept on his face.

"What?"

"I feel a lot easier playing now, both on the defensive and offensive ends, and there are a lot more people who can help me take the pressure off. "An Jie has not forgotten the dilemma when he encountered a tough battle last season, but judging from the current training effect this season, An Jie should no longer have a headache for the arrival of a tough battle.

"The tactical options are more and it is easier for you. The preseason is just a few days away, and when the time comes, we'll be able to see how many pounds and taels this Trail Blazers team has. Rickard didn't expect that he would actually get a championship-caliber roster in his second season in the NBA. On top of that, he still has Anjie.

With Anjie as the core, plus the assistance of the other group of guys, the Trail Blazers are really a strong championship contender.

....................

An Jie has been sitting on the bench for a long time, and from the end of the third quarter to the end of the game now, An Jie has not played again.

The preseason game is to train the newcomers to run in the lineup, and it is understandable that the star of the house rests early in the preseason. But to the excitement of the Trail Blazers fans at the scene, even though Anjie barely played in the second half, they still led the Jazz by only 10 points.

"Damion Lillard dribbles two steps beyond the three-point line and shoots straight at the ball!" Coach Ricard certainly wouldn't be happy with the ball. No, no, no, the ball went in! Wonder rookie guard! Oh my God, the Trail Blazers probably picked the best player with their sixth pick!"

Andre Iguodala's defense kept Gordon Haywood at a loss! ”

Derrick Fischer kept the Trail Blazers' offense in order, he protected the ball and the Trail Blazers players started running. The ball is out, it's Contney Lee, the ball is passed to Lee's hands, will he be the offensive endpoint? Conteney Lee didn't let the ball stay in his hands for long, he immediately transferred the ball, and the new Portland Trail Blazers veteran Nicholas Batum was the last point of attack! Three-point shot, and then scored! 20 points, the Trail Blazers had widened the gap to 20 points. Audience friends, you must know that Ann and Aldridge spent almost the entire second half on the bench, but even so, they still managed to take a 20-point lead!"

An Jie can't remember the first time he stood up to cheer for his teammates, this Trail Blazers team is very strong, never stronger! In the past, when he was on the bench, An Jie was mostly worried. But now, he can confidently hand over the game to his teammates.

When the game was over, everyone on the Jazz team was eager to get out of this disgraced place. The Trail Blazers beat the Jazz 110-81 in the second half without using their star players. Although the preseason victory doesn't mean anything, the Trail Blazers still showed their strength to the fullest.

In the next few games, the Trail Blazers defeated the Hornets with the No. 1 Anthony Davis, the Mavericks who got O.J. Mayo, the Bucks in the rebuilding and the Pacers who shone in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season.

As the regular season at the end of October approached, it dawned on the Portland Trail Blazers that they had not yet tasted defeat in the preseason!

"The Portland Trail Blazers were undoubtedly the most heavily traded team this summer, first acquiring the Nets' sixth draft pick and then acquiring Andre Iguodala from the Big Five-Team Trade. In the free agent market, Orsie also spent a lot of money. It can be said that this series of operations has made a qualitative leap in the strength of the Trail Blazers. I think the Trail Blazers have a good chance of making it to the West this season if they have a healthy roster. But in all fairness, I'm still not optimistic about the Trail Blazers winning the championship, after all, the strength of the Heat team will be more terrifying than the Trail Blazers!"

"The Portland Trail Blazers will still be a Western Conference Finals-caliber team, but that's about it. Lillard's style of play is very incompatible with Ann and Aldridge, and Iguodala is squeezed by the number of shots he takes, and he is destined to not be at his best. The Trail Blazers are just piling up stars for no purpose, but the stars they're piling up are neither in tune nor big enough for big names. ”

"What else is there to say? This Trail Blazers team won't accept anything other than a championship. Of course, it would be very different if Ann and Lillard, two guys with season-reimbursed "ex-convictions," were injured again. As long as the Trail Blazers stay healthy, no one in this league can stop them. James and the Heat? They can come and try it, but the ending won't change. ”

As we get closer to the regular season, there are more and more articles predicting the team's prospects. Everyone has their own opinions, so the outlook for the Trail Blazers varies.

Some people are optimistic about the Trail Blazers, while others feel that the Trail Blazers will be nothing more than that after they are promoted. How to resolve differences of opinion? A real game is the best way to resolve all disputes.

"David Stern is so playful. Looking at the schedule for the new season, Riccard had to once again "cordially" greet the current NBA commissioner.

Aside from the usual dense schedule, Stern gave a big gift to the fans and the Trail Blazers in the first game after the start of the new season.

On October 31, the second game of the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers' season opener will also begin on this day. And their first opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers, who are making a big splash in the transfer market like the Trail Blazers this summer!

This summer's Western Conference is the biggest move for the Lakers and Trail Blazers. The Lakers formed a terrifying F4, and the Trail Blazers built a strong team around Anjie. And the battle between these two teams that have undergone major changes is a match that fans are looking forward to. Putting such a match on the opener is simply the perfect choice.

"Well, this is a test of the true quality of this team. On second thought, Ricard decided that this arrangement was not a bad thing. Lakers F4? This is a great opportunity for the Trail Blazers to show their strength!

The new season is coming, and the Trail Blazers' first opponent is so tough. Anjie's road to the championship starts with the Lakers!
