"Hey, brother, I'm up to you."

At Blair Bowman's Sagar mansion, the Runners players were invited to a party.

The host of the party is, of course, the current top star of the Runners, Blair Bowman, although he is a relatively silent person, but Blair does not do nothing in terms of communication, and he is the boss of the team now, and it is also appropriate to invite the younger brother to hold a "swearing-in party" before the start of the regular season.

Turgun was not very familiar with the environment of Sau, so he and his girlfriend Anna arrived at Blair's house a little late.

Anna Stewart now travels to Sau-Sa for two days, and Turgun has just bought his first property in Sau-Sau.

"Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the road, so I'm late, it's my girlfriend Anna, Anna, this is Blair."

"Wow, Turgun, I have to say, your girlfriend is so beautiful, you have to catch her, don't be like that Salish, haha!"

There is now a consensus within the runners about Salish's "amorousness", this guy has been in Satha for less than four months, and he has already changed two girlfriends, and today he is bringing the third one.

Blair originally only planned to invite his teammates to participate in today's party, but because of the previous incident with Bout Cole, many of his teammates' "family members" said that they must come along, and Blair's wife also felt that they would simply invite them to come, so as not to cause family conflicts at that time.

Eating and drinking, the Runners players at the party basically stayed together to discuss the upcoming regular season.

"Guys, listen to me, everyone was a loser before, and I must admit that, including myself, in fact, I am also a loser, since I entered the league at the age of nineteen, I have only played in the playoffs once, and this time I only played in the first round, and then I was eliminated."

After drinking a little beer, Blair opened the conversation, his mood was more restrained, a bit like an Oriental, only the stimulation of alcohol would make him speak his heart.

"I don't want to do this, I don't want to wait until I'm about to retire to hug someone else's thigh for a championship, it's better to retire than that. Now, Stone and you guys have given me new hope, and I hope that we can really work together for the glory of the championship, for the sake of those bastards who looked down on us before, we have to play every game seriously and let everyone see how good we are. ”

Blair's words resonated with a lot of people, indeed, they are basically disappointed, they went through an unsuccessful start to the NBA, and now they are going to slap them in the face, the faces of the teams that didn't look up to them in the first place.

"Blair, you're talking too much, those bastards, all eyes are full of cow dung, let them regret it later, haha."

Sallich absolutely agrees with Blair's words, he was the most famous talent in Europe at the beginning, but after arriving in the NBA, he was discriminated against, although Salehi can be regarded as a stable job, but this is too far from his expectations of himself.

"The day after tomorrow is our first regular season game, the opponent is the Trail Blazers, haha, Turgon, don't worry, we will help you in the game, you can release your energy in this game, so that those Trail Blazers' stupid X's can get to know you again."

For Turgun, Blair is very important, this young man who does not talk much like him has a persistent character, and also has an incomparable love for basketball, Blair feels that Turgun will definitely grow into a player who will change the situation of the league in the future, he is naturally the kind of person who is suitable for big scenes.

With Blair's initiative, many players of the Runners have also said that they want to play Turgun in the game with the Trailblazers, in fact, they are also thinking about themselves, and now everyone in the Runners knows that the coach in this team values Turgun the most, and the coach's Oriental fellow also completely controls the offensive and defensive rhythm of the entire team, so for these players, it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with Turgon, not to mention Turgun and Blair's support, This makes it all the more important to show favor to Turgon.

On October 14, 2020, the Sacramento Runners, who have completed the name change, welcomed the Portland Trail Blazers, their first regular season opponent of the season, at the Energy Balance Arena at home.

For Trail Blazers head coach Lawrence Porter, this brand new season is going to be a tough one.

In the second round of the playoffs last season, Lawrence led the Trail Blazers to lose to the Los Angeles Lakers, who lacked an inside and outside core, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to both Lawrence and the Trail Blazers.

Lawrence, in order to keep his position after the playoffs, assured the owner of the Trail Blazers that the team would definitely reach the Western Conference Finals next season.

Before the season even really began, Lawrence and the Trail Blazers suffered a major blow, with their super-inside player Brent Charles injured in a regular training session and had to rest for at least two months.

However, despite feeling the huge pressure, Lawrence is still full of confidence in the team's first regular season game, after all, the opponent is the Sacramento Kings, oh, it should be the Runners now, and Lawrence is also scoffing at the name change of the Sa City team, the Runners, it is a rustic name when you hear it.

Although the Runners have achieved a very good record of six wins and two losses in the preseason, Lawrence does not look at this small result of the Runners at all, in Lawrence's view, a team with an interior center of only two meters and eight meters can not pose a threat to the Trail Blazers, even if Brent Charles does not play, Lawrence feels that his team can let the so-called Runners have a good look at the style of the Western powerhouse.

As for Turgon, I'm really sorry, Lawrence has completely forgotten about the weird-looking Oriental, that yellow-skinned guy has never been looked at by Lawrence, Lawrence only refrigerated Turgun to protest to the team's management against their finger-pointing at the team's deal.

Wang Lei knew the players' private thoughts before the start of this regular season, and Wang Lei can be said to be in favor of their idea of supporting Turgun to slap the Trail Blazers, he was originally worried that the players would take up too much of the ball and resist, but now it seems that Turgon's popularity in the team seems to be very good.
