In the past, the Chinese team was likely to win two games at the World Championships.

This year, the Chinese team lost two games at the World Championships.

One of them lost to the Dream Team and one lost to the champion, so I asked you if you had a high gold content.

This team, known as the "strongest national team in history", is highly expected by fans.

People say that if they hadn't met the world champion Spain too early, the Chinese team would definitely have been able to go further!

But everything is over, and now, everyone hopes that in 08 at home, Chinese basketball can create another historic breakthrough!

Everyone believes that with the strength of the current national team, this can definitely be done!

Chinese fans may still be looking forward to '08, but if you ask Portland fans when they expect the team to take off, everyone will tell you - this season, this season!

At the beginning, regarding the addition of Wayne and Gasol, some Trail Blazers fans were still pessimistic.

But this World Championship is over...... Emma is so fragrant!

Wayne averaged the first points per game in the World Championships, led the team to break history, and was named to the best team.

The MVP of the sister-in-law's World Championships, led the team to win the championship directly, and was also selected for the best team.

Although the World Championships and the NBA cannot be confused, the level is also quite high.

Don't you see that this year's Daydream team barely won a bronze medal, and the silver one didn't get it.

According to the theory of "not a champion is a loser", the U.S. team is on the same level as the Chinese team......

Well, that's reasonable!

So, two of the three brightest names at the World Championships are Trail Blazers, can Portland fans not get excited?

After Wayne returned to Portland, he also looked at the recent transfer news and re-invested in the rhythm of the NBA.

Sure enough, Mousse, Diwei and Bosh all signed a 3+1 contract.

But Guagua still signed for five years and did not join the other three.

Because Nuggets management told him: "We're going to get you a very strong helper, like Allen. Iverson like that! ”

So, Guagua still signed his name on a five-year contract.

Didn't James say that they would form a team after four years without winning another championship?

Guagua just wanted to say: "If Iverson really comes, I will win the championship in four years!" ”

Seeing Guagua's contract renewal for five years, Mousse was actually a little disappointed.

To put it bluntly, Chris. Bosh is a spare tire.

The combination he expects is himself + Wade + Guagua.

Who can stop it? Both the point guard and the center peg Huskies can win!

As a result, Guagua did not follow them, and Mousse was very injured.

I've said it all, what the hell didn't you understand?

But it doesn't matter, Bosh is not bad. If it can really be formed after four years, it will not be a championship, it will not be a matter of two championships.

In addition to the contract extension of the class of '03, Wayne is most concerned about the news of the Trail Blazers.

During Wayne's death in the Championships, the Trail Blazers signed Fred Brown. Jones, Bobby. Jackson and Anthony. Parker and other guards.

In this way, the lineup for the new season is basically formed.

There are a lot of 3D players in this lineup, and it took a lot of effort to build.

With everything in place, Wayne began to gear up.

Although the camp doesn't start until the end of September, Wayne contacted the team in advance after arriving in Portland for a week of rest, hoping to arrange for some trainers to give him a start.

"What? Do you want to start training early? When Patterson received Wayne's call, he was stunned for a moment.

"Uh...... You translate for me, you say the same, what does it mean? ”

"Chris. Paul, you say it's a coincidence, and he asked us to arrange training for him in advance! ”

Patterson is very happy, there are many great stars, but there are not many powerful and hard-working stars.

And having two great and hard-working stars on a team at the same time is a godson for Portland.

"This ......" Wayne didn't expect that Cannon would work so hard for next season.

In fact, it's not a question of hard work or not.

Pao'er doesn't want to be looked down upon by Wayne!

Therefore, he must improve his level and play his own characteristics.

After the training camp starts, it is bound to beat Wayne and fight for the top!

Paorot wants Wayne to know that I'm not the same person I was with you before!

Now I'm thicker, bigger, and harder!

You touch me and you'll know.

On the first day of early training, Pao Luo got up early in the morning.

On this sunny day, he walked towards the training hall with solid steps.

He had all figured out that he would be the first to arrive on the first day of formal training, and then wait for Wayne in the training hall and sit and watch his admiring eyes.

"Hehe, it must be cool." Pao Luo smiled and pushed open the door of the training hall, and then the whole person was stunned.

"Yo, why did you come so late, my cannon."

Inside, Wayne, who was shooting, turned his head and waved at the gun.

Kobe: I'm familiar with that.

Pao Luo is stupid, why is Wayne here?

Didn't he just finish the World Championships like me?

Why doesn't he have to rest!

"Why are you stunned at the door, come in together." Wayne waved at Paul, who mechanically walked into the gym on his legs.

It's coming, it's coming, it's a nightmare that has made Paul anxious all summer, and it's still coming!

When Paul got close to Wayne, Wayne suddenly raised his hand, which frightened Paul into a hurried horizontal jump and jumped two meters away.

"What are you going to do!? Are you going to elbow me!? Paul was terrified, and his voice was shaking.

The corners of Wayne's mouth twitched twice: "I...... Just scratching your head. ”

", can you make it clear next time!" Paoluo patted his chest, and his heart almost jumped out.

"Why should I scratch my head and tell me in advance?"

"Who made you so dangerous! This kind of dangerous maneuver will be less done in the training hall in the future. ”

Sweating profusely, Paul picked up the basketball and threw it but missed.

Didn't concentrate at all!

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Shouldn't I be the only player who comes to train ahead of time?

"You're mistimed, training camp hasn't started yet, Wayne." Paul then asked cautiously.

There's just one word to get along with Wayne - be careful.

used to be an opponent, but there were not many opportunities to meet anyway, and Paorot could still pretend to be a tough guy.

But now that we have to stay together every day, how can we pretend?

You can only be careful yourself!

"I know the training camp hasn't started yet, I'm here to train in advance. I heard that you were there too, so I was even more determined to train in advance. ”

Paul wanted to cry without tears, and the opportunity to pretend to beep in front of Wayne was gone.

After that, Wayne and Pao Luo basically practiced their own special training, and the two only talked a few words occasionally.

After all, they were still talking trash to each other when they met last season.

But don't say it, looking at how seriously Wayne is training, Pao Luo is a little impressed by Wayne.

Isn't this attitude much better than that of Nalan Fat?

With Wayne, at least we can win......

"Wait, what am I talking about, okay with Wayne!?" Paorot hurriedly shook his head, you sober up, Chris, Wayne is a big bastard!

Have you forgotten how he humiliated you in college? Have you forgotten how he squirted you speechless last season?

In the afternoon, the two of them sat on the wooden floor to rest.

Paul has always kept a safe distance of two meters from Wayne, not getting close to one centimeter more!

"Yo, Chris."

"What's wrong?" Paul glanced up at Wayne, and silently moved his ass out again.

"How far do you think we can go next season?"

"Huh?" Paul was confused, why did he suddenly ask this?

"You'd love to win, and so do I. I'm actually looking forward to working with you, because I've felt like you've been a strong opponent since college. ”

"This ...... Of course! Do you still need to say it!? "Paul was comfortable, it turned out that Wayne had always thought I was strong.

"Well, it's just a little bit worse than Delon." Wayne was quick to add.

", there's really nothing good to say......"

"But we join forces, not to mention Delong, stronger people can fight. So, come on Chris next season, we have to play some results. You and I, and Gasol, we have to make the world know us again. ”

With that, Wayne stood up and left the training hall.

Paul was left alone to sit where he was.

I...... Isn't it too narrow-minded?

Wayne was hell-bent on winning, and I was still thinking about infighting.

Is this the difference in pattern?

I'm not a thing!

It's decided, I'm going to work hard next season!

You can't take the credit alone!

Paul clenched his fists and left the training hall and walked into the locker room.

By this time, Wayne had already left, and only the team's equipment manager was busy in the locker room.

"Hey Toby, are you busy?" Paul greeted the equipment manager.

This Trail Blazers team, Paul is the most familiar with the equipment manager.

Because...... As a rookie last season, Paul often helped the big brothers carry their backpacks and shoes, and worked with equipment managers a lot......

Wei Ge: Is there such a thing in the rookie year? Why didn't I come across it? It was all Artai who helped me buy the ice and broad.

'Well, there are a lot of new signings in the squad this year, so I have to count the number of shirts they need. The middle-aged white man named Toby nodded, "Speaking of which, the team seems to have changed a whole group of people this year." ”

"yes, there will be a lot of new faces next season. By the way, can I see what numbers they have chosen? ”

"Of course." Toby handed Paul the notebook with the number.

When Paul saw it, he immediately scolded: "Fake, that bastard! I actually had a crush on him just now, ahhh ”

Paul threw down his notebook and rushed out of the locker room, leaving Toby alone scratching his head.

Toby picked up the small notebook that recorded the number and looked at it, what happened to Wayne's number?

Doesn't he just want to wear the number 58 in the new season, and change the number by the way to change the team, which is normal.

This Paul, his mood is really unstable.

※※※

A few days later, the Trail Blazers held a press conference to unveil the new players who joined the team this summer.

Due to the large number of new players joining the team this summer, the press conference was divided into several stages.

The heaviest Wayne and Gasol naturally appeared in the finale.

In Patterson, Paul. With Allen and Pritchard smiling, Wayne and Gasol appeared in front of everyone with their Trail Blazers jerseys.

Well, Wayne's jersey with the Trail Blazers still uses No. 99.

This was temporarily changed by Wayne a few days ago.

If it weren't for the hard pleading, this No. 58 Wayne would have really been worn.

"Way, Paul, how do you feel about being on the same team at the same time?"

"I'm excited, Paul is the MVP of the World Championships, who wouldn't want to have teammates like that around them?" Wayne told reporters with a smile that after all, there is no sister-in-law in the world who doesn't like to be praised.

"I'm also excited that Wayne is a rookie FMVP and any player wants to work with him." Gasol nodded and smiled, and they praised each other.

Pao'er sat in front of the TV, a little messy.

Both of you are MVPs...... What do you mean my little brother should be decided?

That's not it, for now, in terms of personal honors, there is only one best rookie and best rookie for a while.

And these two honors, Wayne and sister-in-law just have.

But what sister-in-law and Wayne had, Paul didn't.

Last season, my sister-in-law also made it to the All-Star.

And Wayne, who has won a championship, has a ring, has FMVP, and is already a two-time All-Star starter.

Almost everyone defaulted to Wayne as the eldest of the three.

Pao'er had to accept the fact that he was here to assist Wayne.

The next day, the pre-season training camp for the new season officially began.

Gasol has a lot of respect for Wayne, although the two have not crossed paths much before, but Wayne's performance in this year's World Championships has been recognized by his sister-in-law.

This sister-in-law is good anywhere, but it's a little difficult to talk to him.

"Wei, what books do you usually like to read?"

"Wayne, which musician in Europe do you like?"

"Wei, what's your favorite instrument?"

Wayne: I'm just suffering from being uneducated!

Gasol's family background has been good since he was a child, his parents are both doctors and professional basketball players, and the education he received is certainly not bad.

When he was in college, Gasol also studied medicine.

Therefore, he is a breath of fresh air in this alliance.

It's too different from Atai's guy who "my dad taught me to elbow since I was a child".

Moreover, Wayne found Gasol's interests wide-ranging.

Horse racing, yachting, football, ...... Gasol knows everything.

Maybe for someone like him, basketball is just a part of life, never everything.

Maybe that's why Gasol is willing to be the second child.

For him, basketball is a job, a job where you need to do everything you can to win.

But what kind of role he plays in this job, Gasol is not so important.

What about being a big brother in a grizzly bear for so many years? It's not the same yet.

Watching the new signings Wayne and Gasol talk happily, the cannon was a little sour.

Hey, I'm one of the most senior players on this team!

How do I feel that I am superfluous!

When the team practiced together, Gasol and Paul were placed in a group.

In one of the offenses, Paul broke through and assisted Gasol for a half-volley.

After the ball went in, Gasol touched Paul's head and thanked him.

As a result, Paul was very sensitive to dodge, and reached out and touched Gasol's head to get it back.

My sister-in-law was a little embarrassed at the time, he just wanted to express his friendliness, but it turned out to be ......

"It's okay, Pao'er is such a bastard. Let's continue training, believe me he has no malicious intentions, don't think about it. Wayne hurriedly walked up and patted his sister-in-law's buttocks, relieving the embarrassment.

Gasol was not a scheming person either, so he nodded and resumed training.

Last season, the Pacers' dressing was managed by Xiao Ao and Artey, and the result was a chicken feather.

This season, the Trail Blazers don't have a locker room leader. And Wayne, as the core, not only has to play the ball well, but also manages the team well.

The hard lesson Wayne had taught Wayne that locker room atmosphere was also an integral part of winning.

It's better not to have a second time with an embarrassment like the one just now.

Just because Gasol just endured it doesn't mean he won't be angry.

As the core, there are so many things to consider.

It's not easy to bring the team.

If you want to recover this unruly cannon, you still have to take your time.
