In fact, this cannon head is not completely untouchable.

For example, Deng Dudu, who has a habit of touching his head, once touched Paul's head last season and walked away.

As the elder of Wake Forest, Duncan was very admired by Paul.

When Paul chose to join Wake Forest, there was a reason for Duncan.

Therefore, Duncan touched Paul's head, and Paul not only did not resist, but even enjoyed it a little and took the initiative to cater to him.

So it can be concluded that this cannon head touch can be touched, but you have to let him obey you.

Either you subdue him or you have to beat him down, and you have to win him the same way you play and you fight.

Paul is the kind of guy who is extremely demanding of his teammates and extremely hungry for victory, but if you have the same desire as him, you can still get along with him.

On the third day of preseason training camp, the Trail Blazers were already getting better.

McMillan told everyone on the first day: "Our goal this season is to win!" ”

Therefore, all of them worked very hard.

I can't do it if I don't want to, because the two main players of this team are working very hard.

Paul and Wayne, the showdown between them, is simply Patterson's favorite highlight every day.

Unlike Carlisle of the Pacers, McMillan arranged a 5-on-5 simulation for his players on the first day.

To do this, first, there is competition. After all, this season, the Trail Blazers have a total of 9 new signings, and they are basically changing the bottom up.

The squad is certainly not going to be the same as last season.

So, McMillan needs to get his players to find their way through the confrontation, and to put it bluntly, how much playing time you have next season will depend on how much quality you can show during that time.

Secondly, McMillan also wants the players to be in fighting shape from the start.

The task given by the management is obvious, and that is to win the championship.

Boss Paul. Allen's exact words were: "In three years, I want to see Portland win." ”

Well, say three years, but McMillan knows it's just a euphemism, Paul. Alan can't wait.

Since the boss threw the money, of course he hopes to get something in return.

A team that doesn't have a competitive spirit can't be a championship team.

Therefore, the competitive spirit should be cultivated from now on.

At this time, it is time for the last part of the daily training - 5-on-5 simulated confrontation.

All the players gathered and waited for McMillan to be grouped.

For the past two days, no matter how they are divided, Paul and Wayne have always been on opposite sides of each other.

Today is no exception.

"Team A: Fred. Jones, Anthony. Parker, P.J. Tucker, Wayne, Gasol.

Team B: Paoluo, Juan. Dixon, Amy. Yuduka, Outlo, Mourning.

Others, always on standby! ”

After McMillan was assigned a loan, the players were eager to take the plunge.

Pao Luo also immediately became serious, two days ago, the team he led lost to the team led by Wayne.

Today, he must get it back!

The training match officially started, and since it was a training match, there was no scrum.

Paul's first team directly won the first attack, and the cannon also slowly advanced with the ball.

He first called Mo Ning to come up to cover, and Mo Ning also knew his status this season, that is, to assist the young veterans, so he was always obedient.

How can you make money with your hands, why do you stumble?

Under cover, Paul broke through Jones.

As he advanced, he glanced at Monin.

Mo Ning "chuckled" in his heart.

Young man I know what you mean, but ...... Spare the old man, it's not easy for me to play empty when I'm old, I'm here to guard and grab the board.

Just as Mourning was about to leap up, Paul suddenly retracted the basketball and lightly threw the board to hit.

This makes nine people nervous with the ball because even the team with him doesn't know what he's going to do next.

At this time, the core strength is extremely strong and completely healthy, and it is possible to cancel a certain action halfway through as much as you want.

After the goal, Paul motioned to his teammates to step back.

But soon, Wayne returned a ball to Paul.

In this ball, Gasol and Wayne played high and low.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's not Gasol in the low post, Wayne in the high post.

This time, it's Wayne in the low post, and Gasol in the high post.

Although the "Kidney Fighter" is old, he still has a few drops left, and he can still take 2.7 risks per game last season.

Risking 2.7 in the face of such a drop in athleticism shows Mourning's skills on the defensive end.

As long as he doesn't play too much, Mourning is still a very good sapper in the paint area.

So, Gasol didn't chisel the inside and Mourning.

Anyway, Gasol can also play in the high post and shoot, and it is simply perfect for Wayne to play high and low post.

There is no such thing as a ball that cannot be passed or that space cannot be opened.

At this point, defending Wayne was the Trail Blazers' third-best player, Travis. Outlaw.

Well, before Paul came, he was the Trail Blazers' hardest working player.

Now that Wayne is here, he's in third place.

Outlaw had heard a rumor that Wayne was training with Kobe Bryant at 4 a.m. every summer day.

I don't know if it's true.

But it's outrageous.

Although Otlo has a gentle personality, he is very athletic.

It's a true one. Fauvist Striker.

However, Oterlo's strength and height doomed him not to be an excellent low-post single guard.

He, like Wayne, is better suited to full-court sweeps than low-post hand-to-hand combat.

So in the face of Wayne, Outlaw said that the pressure was high.

Wayne catches the ball, leans back hard, and then shakes his shoulder to the left.

Outlaw moved, but Wayne pulled his body back in the next second, turned in the opposite direction, jumped, leaned back, shot, and hit.

"Brush!"

"Wow, that's a little handsome...... Damn, handsome fart! Paul wanted to slap himself, why did he appreciate Wayne more and more?

It's a dangerous idea, boy!

Wayne scored a goal and high-fived his sister-in-law in celebration.

"Come on Chris, can you beat me today?" When he ran to Paul's side, Wayne didn't forget to spray at Paul.

Pao Luo didn't speak, he had to win a game today!

After that, Paul tore through Jones' defense with a very nice change of direction.

Jones was no match for Paul on the defensive end.

Fred. Jones's strongest ability is to dunk, and although he is less than 1.9 meters tall, his legs are as if he is strapped with explosives.

However, in addition to dunking, Jones's business ability in other areas needs to be improved.

After Paul broke through, Wayne immediately made up for it.

Naturally, Cannon observed Wayne, but he still jumped up and took a throwing position.

Unbeknownst to everyone, in the air, Pao Luo turned into a pass and sent the ball to Oterlo.

How else is Paul the hardest defender to block?

Outlaw catches the ball and throws, after a few years of experience, Outlo is now a little sure of the shot.

But unfortunately, this goal was missed.

Paul, Wayne and Gasol are in good form because they have just come down from the World Championships.

But others are still in a stage of entering the state.

Gasol got the rebound and passed the ball straight to Wayne.

Wayne advanced with the ball, and Paul rushed up to make a steal, but accidentally took a shot.

Wayne is so stupid, he must have to lift the ball up when he sees Paul coming.

In this way, Paul couldn't make a steal, but collided with Wayne.

Because Paul was fast, the impact of the impact was not small.

Wayne and Paul both fell backwards and fell to the ground.

However, before he fell, Wayne passed the ball out and into the hands of Tucker.

"Damn, you're hurting me!"

While Paorot was still complaining, Wayne shook off Paul's arm, got up from the ground, and continued to participate in the attack.

No one noticed Wayne get up and cut to the basket so quickly, so he was unmarked.

Tucker saw it and hurriedly passed a high ball to Wayne.

"I'm Cao, you treat me as Jordan!" The ball was passed too far from the basket for Wayne to dunk directly.

After all, Tucker is still very rough and positioned as a muscular defender, so it is understandable that the ball is passed like this.

However, Wayne didn't give up, the dunk was not good, and I should have been able to make a layup.

In this way, after Wayne was knocked down, he immediately came to an empty layup and successfully scored points.

"Now, Paul isn't the hardest player on our training pitch," Patterson smiled on the sidelines.

"Good ball, this ball is so hard!" Tucker's brother couldn't help but praise his rival in college.

Most people also praise Wayne in their hearts.

Including Paul.

"This guy has a stronger sense of competition than me, and even if he falls, he doesn't forget to continue attacking, and I like this kind of strong male ......"

Paul shook his head and kept telling himself, don't fall!

"Come on Chris, let me see how much you've improved, let me see how much there is a gap between you and Delon." The entire basketball court was filled with Wayne's shouting.

In this kind of game without spectators, the players' own shouting is the spice of the game atmosphere.

Thankfully, Paul's third attack was finally completed.

This time, he broke through and chose to finish the attack with a throw, dodging the block.

There are no guns before major injuries, and the scoring ability is really strong, and the explosiveness is very amazing.

However, that still didn't help him get out of his disadvantage.

After that, Wayne broke through the point to assist Anthony. Parker hit a three-pointer.

In just the past three days, Parker has shown a very mature performance and a very consistent three-point shooting percentage.

The key is that the defense is also okay, with a height of nearly 2 meters, which is more suitable for defending the second position than Dixon, who is 1.91 meters.

The last time the '97 No. 21 rookie played in the NBA was back in the millennium.

At that time, he played with the Orlando Magic in the 99-00 season, averaging only 3.6 points per game, and was cut by the Magic.

In the following years, he trained in Europe and won championships and MVPs.

Signed Anthony. Parker, Patterson admits he has an element of gambling, but now, the bad show has become a starting candidate.

Wayne really connected the team, while Paul, on the other hand, fell into a strange circle of wanting to prove himself more.

That's it, after today's training match, Pao'er still lost!

The game was over, and the cannon was out of breath.

"It's Gasol, it must be because of him!

If I had been on his team, I would have won! ”

Pao'er thought so in her heart.

As a result, the next day, he and his sister-in-law were really assigned to a team.

However, he still lost.

"Wayne's success rate in singles today is so high, did you see his step-back jumper? It's like a defender! Patterson marveled at Wayne's progress.

As a general manager who has been watching Wayne closely, he remembers that Wayne didn't have that kind of back-up last season.

In fact, Wayne rarely chooses to attack with his back.

Although his turnaround small jumper percentage is very good, he still rarely uses it.

But in the training game, Wayne let people see his new possibilities.

It's still not a serious inside back technique, but as long as you can score, who cares how you score.

Patterson is sure his trade wasn't in vain.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is at the No. 4 position, except for the sister-in-law who was pulled to play center this season, no one can limit Wayne at all.

Outlaw, Percy, and Tucker, one counts as one, and Wei Shentong eats it.

This is actually how Patterson deliberately built the lineup, because Wayne will play a lot of time this season, so most of the substitutes for the No. 4 position are some No. 3 or No. 4 swing people.

Wayne doesn't need too good a bench per se.

Under Wayne's tough style and strong personal offensive, Pao'er + sister-in-law still lost.

Cannon has always been demanding of his teammates, but he is surprised to find that even he can't find fault with Wayne.

A man who is more hungry for victory, trains more seriously and is tougher, in stark contrast to Randolph last season.

Of course, at this time, Randolph in Memphis was also training hard as if he had opened his mind.

And all day long shouting things like "your whole family is a coin".

But that's another story.

Finally, after all the preseason training camps were over, Paul's record against Wayne in confrontational training was still more wins and losses.

He began to admire the guy who almost wore the number 58 from the bottom of his heart.

After pre-season, McMillan is still dominated by an experimental lineup.

Coupled with the fact that there are a lot of short-term contract players in the team during this time, it is not surprising that more than a dozen players rotate in a game.

With such a rotation, there is no record to talk about, and there are losses and wins in the first few games.

Until October 20th, today, the Trail Blazers traveled to Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz.

Although this game was only an inconsequential preseason, Pao Luo played very seriously and wanted to win very much.

After all, there is Delong on the other side.

However, the fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Once again, Delon perfectly suppressed the cannon dill today.

No way, Cannon is considered fat in the ranks of point guards, but Delon's is bigger than him.

Taller than you, stronger than you, not much slower than you.

This is a hammer.

In addition, the style of this jazz team is still very iron-blooded, and the physical confrontation is very active and rough, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.

In the third quarter of the game, Pao Luo finally borrowed Wayne's block to break through Delon once, but when he made a layup, he was pushed by Boozer.

Paul's center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground heavily, and the basketball naturally failed to improve.

Just as Cannon was feeling aggrieved, Wayne walked over to Paul and knocked Boozer away with his shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, you fuck ......"

Boozer was about to roar when Wayne suddenly turned around and glared at the bald man who was about to roar.

Suddenly, Boozer fell silent.

This is Wayne's third season in the league, and his fighting prowess has long been famous.

It's not ruthless, and few people dare to argue with Wayne anymore.

"Fuck it, keep your mouth clean. By the way, don't fucking touch my brother again, or ......"

At this point, the referee walked up and pushed Wayne away.

"Hey, what's the matter, dissipate Gao Dewei."

Buzeldon became well-behaved and silently stepped back.

After that, Wayne turned around, walked over to Paul, who was sitting on the ground, and held out his hand.

"Are you alright?"

"Huh? Belch...... Well, it's fine. Paul grabbed Wayne's forearm, and as soon as Wayne pushed hard, Paul stood up.

It's called a boyfriend...... Teammate power.

He just ...... Protecting me? Coming out for me?

"It's okay, play well, the game isn't over yet. You're not trying to kill Delon, are you? I'm with you. After saying that, Wayne took the opportunity to touch the cannon's head.

This time, he didn't dodge and resist!

was conquered by Wayne playing in the training match, and now he is conquered by what Wayne did, and he is still rebelling.

Sister-in-law: It turns out that Pao'er likes this type, but I'm not suitable for that kind of fierce character. Forget it, leave this cannon head to Wayne to touch.

After being touched by Wayne's head, Cannon suddenly felt high-spirited.

"I'm going to smash Salt Lake City to the ground!" Paul clapped his hands and stepped up to the free throw line.

Wayne saw Paul's sudden burst of energy and couldn't help but look at his palm.

In this way, the effect of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots has been realized!

Wait, if the effect is realized, wouldn't it be the amount of cannon hair......

Although the cannon has always been an inch head, there is a saying that there is still a difference between an inch head and a bald head.

And if he also starts bald from the middle like Ginobili, the shape of this cannon will ...... in the future

Ahem!

Now is not the time to think about hair volume.

How do you get stronger without being bald!?

Paul hit two free throws before giving Wayne a high-five.

Well, Wayne's original plan was to not be able to convince Paul, so he had to elbow him.

Now it seems that Paul has not yet come out of his elbow, and Paul is beginning to show signs of obedience.

So, let's keep it for you for now.

Wei Ge's sister-in-law's progress is starting to get on the right track.
