Just when the Trail Blazers lost a lot of important personnel in the summer, only Lillard, who was hand-picked by An Jie that year, publicly stated that he would continue to play next to An Jie.

Neil. Orsey also lived up to Lillard's loyalty, and when the preseason was about to begin, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the team signed Lillard to an early contract extension for five years and $120 million. This means that Lillard, whose salary is only 4.24 million this season, will skyrocket to 20 million next season!

In this way, Orsie at least ensures that the Trail Blazers will continue to be competitive in the West. Although Anjie only has one year left on his contract, he will definitely renew his contract with the Trail Blazers, who have bird rights, next summer. Lillard, for his part, just signed a five-year contract extension with the team. In this way, the Trail Blazers can at least keep a core combination like Angel Galillard in the future. As long as these two guys are here, the Trail Blazers won't sink completely.

Neil. It's not for nothing that Orsi suddenly made such a big contract extension, because the total salary of the rest of the Trail Blazers this season is at the bottom of the league.

Paul. The money that Alan gave Orsi at his disposal, Orsi didn't use it up, but Alan had to take it all back. Instead of giving Paul. Allen saves money, and Orsi might as well stabilize Lillard before the offseason comes.

After all, who can say what will happen a year from now? Just like a year ago, Orsi couldn't have imagined that the Trail Blazers would fall apart.

Lillard's contract extension with the team has also become the last big news in the NBA league this offseason.

After that, the NBA pre-game training camp officially begins, and after that, preseason games will follow. After the preseason, the journey of the new season of the NBA will be completely launched.

With anticipation, An Jie once again walked into the labyrinthine player tunnel of the Moda Center after four months.

"Hey, I'll clean the locker room for you!" In the players' tunnel, Anjie met the locker room cleaner Ivan Sr.

"What does champagne taste like?" Anjie and old Ivan joked.

"Awesome! Hey, if I could, I'd love to drink your championship champagne every year! ”

"I'll try, old Ivan." An Jie waved at the amiable cleaner and walked to the door of the locker room.

An Jie took a deep breath, although he was extremely familiar with this locker room, but after pushing the door in, he was sure that everything was different.

In addition to the three cores of Angel, Lillard and Iguodala, the Trail Blazers have almost undergone a major overhaul this summer. In the locker room at this moment, I don't know what the scene is.

After An Jie finished taking a deep breath, he didn't hesitate any longer. He slammed open the locker room door, and the familiar noise came over him instantly.

"Hey! Look who's coming! The Dark Knight! Lillard jumped up excitedly and high-fived Angel.

"How's the rest? Buddy. Iguodala sat down in front of her place and nodded at Angel.

"You're finally the boss, I'm still here waiting for you to show me your slam dunk at the Asian Championships!" Meyers. Leonard, the big man who made it to the team through the draft, is still here.

"Ann, I've heard that this year's championship ring is going to be very different." and An Jie joined the team in the same year as Contney. Li also stood up and waved at An Jie.

"Hey boss, I heard from the boss that my playing time will increase a lot this year, and I will pass you more balls when the time comes!" Finally, there is the young guard of the Trail Blazers, Allen. Crabbe.

An Jie scanned the room again, and it was gone. The Trail Blazers, who created a dynasty with them last season, are now left with only five men.

Aldridge, Batum, Matthews, and Robin. Needless to say, the Lopez four are the hottest personnel changes for the Trail Blazers this summer. But in reality, these four people are not the only personnel changes.

Miller Sr. was caught up in the trade, Earl. Watson retired in a low-key manner, and the brilliant Thomas . Robinson did not renew his contract, and Dorrell. White went to Houston......

After greeting acquaintances, An Jie was presented with a bunch of unfamiliar faces. The group of people all looked at An Jie with an expression of awe, and An Jie only smiled at everyone casually. This locker room is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Looks like you're getting along!" Just after Anjie met with his new team-mates, the two core members of the coaching staff, Ricard and Divac, also pushed the door in.

"Hey, Boss, how was the holiday?" Anjie hugged Ricard and Divac warmly, and no matter how the Trail Blazers change, the core pillar of this team will not be scattered.

"So-so, it's mainly the damn trade rumours that make me uneasy. I was so scared that I suddenly received a notification that I was being traded. Rickard made a joke with everyone, causing the new signings to let go of their restraint a little. The legendary rogue coach is not so terrifying.

"Alright guys, sit in your seats. Listen, I don't care where you've come from, and I don't care what you've achieved with previous teams. Now, you all belong to the Portland Trail Blazers! From now on, every single one of you will have to fight for the championship! Believe me, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, the next member of the dynasty is likely to be you! This afternoon's training, everyone has done well! I only look at the training status to determine the squad and playing time, I don't care about your past! What about you, Ed, if your performance this afternoon impresses me, why don't I put it on the bench and let you start?. Ricard said, looking at Ed, a strong interior player who had just come over from the Lakers. Davis joked.

"I'll try, sir! ...... No, Chief! "Ed. Davis gave a military salute to Rickard. In this way, the distance between Ricard and the new players was instantly shortened.

The afternoon training was also in full swing as An Jie expected. When most of the team's rotation players left, Ricard had to adjust the team's tactics accordingly.

Especially the team's second lineup, almost the entire overhaul. As a result, the task of today's training is very heavy.

The players had to experiment over and over again to see which tactics and styles of play would work better for the current setup.

Some players have begun to feel that the Trail Blazers' training is too hard, but when they see that Anjie is still sweating uncomplainingly, others are not qualified to say that they are tired.

Anjie is always able to lead the team with actions on and off the field, even if there are many new members in this team.

After an afternoon of training, Ricard still didn't have a tactical line of thought. There are too many new players to the team, too many miscellaneous players. There are surprises like McCollum, and there are guys like Henderson who can't get up or down.

It's not easy to put together an almost refurbished team.

It seems that this season is really a big challenge for the Trail Blazers!

"Alright guys!" Rickard shouted, and many of the new signings thought they could finally get off work.

"Activities, let's continue training!" However, Ricard's next sentence made many people gasp.

It seems that it is not so easy to play for a dynasty team.

The Moda Center has once again become a battlefield for this group of players to sweat, and Anjie's NBA career will also be very different because of the great changes in the team's lineup.

But no matter how the team changes, there is one thing that will definitely not be shaken here in Anjie.

This thing is the heart that longs for the championship!

A new challenge, AnJie is ready!
