Chapter 974: Excellent Opponent

Cowley Stein picked up the basketball from the ground in despair, he couldn't remember how many times Anjie had scored on his head, but he was sure that Anjie had scored a lot today!

"It's rare for us to see Anjie play so excitedly in the pre-season stage, and in the past pre-season, Anjie only showed his face ceremoniously. But today, it is clear that Ann is serious. Jeff Van Gundy smiled as he watched Angel wreak havoc on the field. This kid is very excited about the arrival of the new season. When Anjie was excited, not to mention Cauley Stein, even Cousins was still sleeping in the train arena, and there was nothing to do with Anjie.

While Jeff Van Gundy was still pondering Anjie's thoughts, Mike Brin, the commentary partner sitting next to him, suddenly shouted.

"Nail board hat! O Virgin Mary! Who's going to replace this destructive guy!? With Angel here, this game can't be played at all!" Mike Brin held his head in his hands, still unable to believe what he had just seen on the field.

Darren Collison was a beautiful breakthrough, he was quick, decisive and brave. While Collison was about to make a three-step layup, Anjie was still tangling with Cauley Stein on the other side.

But the amazing big man did just that, getting out of the entanglement in time to catch up with Collisson, jumping behind a lightning-fast little guard and slamming the orange basketball to the rebound.

After An Jie completed the block, he launched an attack with a long pass directly from the backcourt. Now, the Trail Blazers, who are already good at playing quick counterattacks, have another good player who is good at playing transition offense - Paul George.

The rapid advance of George, Lillard and Iguodala tore the Kings' defense apart. Eventually, Lillard threw the basketball onto the rebound, and Paul George, who followed up, jumped straight up, caught the rebounding basketball in the air and dunked hard.

After landing, George raised his head to the sky and roared. Such a relieving fast break is rarely seen in the Pacers. This goal is his gift to the Trail Blazers fans!

"It's too strong, and the Trail Blazers are too strong for the Kings. I think the Trail Blazers guys are more of a show than a game. ”

Kenny Smith was right, it was all an exhibition game that was "carefully prepared" for the new Trail Blazers. The Sacramento kings, they can only be the burial objects of the strong on their home turf.

When George and Lillard's playful aerial combination was successful, Kings coach Dave Joggle finally couldn't help but call a timeout.

It's not a game to win, but at least it's not to be so outright lost. The Sacramento Kings are also an NBA-level team. But looking at the Trail Blazers' performance, it's as if they're playing against a college team, effortlessly.

Seeing Dave Joggle call a timeout, Ricard also took the Trail Blazers' starting lineup down.

Angel, Morris, Iguodala, George and Lillard, the camera on the spot is now focused on the five seated on the bench. Such a starting lineup, on paper, is scary enough. However, Anjie and they used today's game to illustrate a problem, they don't just look scary.

In the end, the confidence was completely lost, and the Kings didn't play any highlight-reel moments, even against the Trail Blazers' second team.

136-105, the Trail Blazers defeated the Sacramento Kings by a terrifying 29-point margin at Sleeping Train Arena. After a tumultuous summer, the Trail Blazers seem to have given a glimpse of the team's past glory.

After the game, An Jie was stopped by a young reporter before he could walk into the players' tunnel.

"In the first game after the trade, you showed a good understanding of each other. Mr. An, how do you feel about this victory?" the reporter's voice trembled, believing that he should be a newcomer. After all, not everyone who talks to a superstar like An Jie face-to-face will be at ease.

"The victory in this game is my notice to the whole league! Ready, I'm going to grab the championship!" This time, An Jie did not prevaricate with the reporter's question.

An Jie dares to say such things now, because both himself and the team currently have enough strength.

The bloody sleeping train is just a small warm-up. The Trail Blazers' ambitions don't stop there.

In the next few preseason games, the Trail Blazers won many battles. Paul George and Morris, two newcomers to the team, also have nothing out of place. They like Anjie as a leader, and they like the Trail Blazers. So, these two guys integrated into the team very quickly.

In the end, the Trail Blazers won all of their preseason games this season. The "tradition" of winning all pre-season games has also been passed on after a gap of two years.

But it's clear that a few preseason wins won't satisfy Anjie's appetite. In the past few days, Anjie always looks through the calendar from time to time, and also watches a lot of game videos related to Aldridge.

He's getting more and more intense and serious. When it comes to confrontational training, even a defensive titan like Morris will be made sweaty by Anjie. This guy is ready to go and fight a real fight!

In the wall calendar in the team's locker room, on the day of October 18, An Jie drew a big red circle.

That day was the start of the opening game of the new NBA season. And in Anjie's big red circle, there is a small icon. This icon is the logo of the San Antonio Spurs.

That's right, the last game of the day of the NBA opener. The Portland Trail Blazers will play the San Antonio Spurs on the road!

To be able to take this new team of trailblazers to meet Aldridge, who was once his right-hand man, no wonder Anjie is so excited.

Adam Shaw has now captured not only the hearts of the fans, but also the hearts of Anjie. The opponent of this opening game, An Jie is very satisfied!

A week later, the real battle was about to begin. The all-new Trail Blazers will make their official debut, and hopefully Aldridge will be in good shape. Otherwise, the Spurs will lose badly......

※※※

San Antonio, ATT Center, inside the away team's dresser. An Jie looked at the black No. 21 jersey in his cabinet and was fascinated.

In the 2013-2014 NBA playoffs Western Conference Finals, Aldridge was still standing by his side, and Tim Duncan did not disappear from the basketball court.

An Jie still remembers that in that game, he and Duncan fought to the end. After a hearty battle, the Trail Blazers finally won the game and advanced to the Finals. After the game, Anjie took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Duncan to show his respect for Duncan and commemorate this great battle.

"What are you looking at, boy? Duncan's jersey? How did you bring it. Rickard saw Anjie staring at the cabinet in a daze, and couldn't help but lean in to take a look.

"This was the jersey that Duncan and I exchanged at the end of the playoffs that year. I don't know where this guy is fishing now. Anjie smiled and looked away from her jersey.

Just like the jersey that hangs from the roof of the ATT Center, Duncan can now keep what is in the arena, and that's all he has is the jersey.

The Spurs have completed the transition of the dynasty, and Aldridge, who was once his most effective assistant, is now one of the core of the Spurs. Duncan's era is a thing of the past, and Anjie will have to work harder if she wants to continue to win at the ATT Center!

Thinking of this, An Jie closed his locker. He stood up and looked around.

"Let's go, guys, it's time for us to warm up!" Anjie yelled, pushing open the door to the locker room. Rudy Gay, Pau Gasol, Leonard and one of his best friends, LaMarcus Aldridge......

I have to admit that although it has been very low-key, the Spurs' lineup this season is also very dazzling.

It is precisely because the Spurs are strong enough that An Jie is so excited today.

Rest well, Tim, this time, no matter how anxious you are, you won't be able to save the Spurs.

Aldridge? Sorry, man! Victory, it has to be for the Trail Blazers! I'll beat you like I did to Duncan!

An Jie stepped into the court, and the familiar noise sounded in his ears. O'Brien Cup, wait!I'm back!10
