Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Nine: Trial Training

The fans of the Trail Blazers are in pain because their team is only one step away from the finals. Seeing the Thunder and the Heat play in the finals lively, the believers of the City of Tear must be very uncomfortable.

But they can also be said to be happy. The Nets unfortunately won the sixth pick, which is a great blessing for the Trail Blazers. Although this season has not ended yet, the Trail Blazers have already made a good start for them next season. Although the sixth pick is not as bluffing as the top three picks, players who may not necessarily fall out of the top three picks will definitely not be able to achieve success. Didn’t Anjie, who was selected at the 12th pick, still won the Best Rookie Award and became one of the most dangerous and all-round centers in the league?

Especially now, there is less than half a month left before the 2O12 draft. The question of who the Trail Blazers will choose is already the main prediction content of the local media in Portland in the past few days.

In the strength training room of his villa, Anjie was doing swimming pool training while staring up at the TV on the wall.

A basketball game is being played on TV, but the content is not the third showdown between the Thunder and the Heat.

"Michael Kidd Gilchrist broke into the inside line! This guy is really strong, and his matchup can't withstand this level of impact! Dunk across the board! Oh my God, this is the NCAA Finals arena! Michael made an amazing attack on such a big stage!" The passionate voice of the commentator filled Anjie's strength training room, and his physique coach Black Hood also watched with Anjie with interest.

What is being played on TV is video of this year's NCAA Finals. The reason why Anjie watched NCAA while training was not for entertainment, but for learning about the rookies participating in the draft this year through the video.

The Michael Kidd Gilchrist who just appeared on TV is the star of the NCAA champion team of this season's NCAA. This guy's pick is predicted to be between second and eighth - because the first position is occupied by another all-round big man Anthony Davis and it is unshakable. Therefore, theoretically speaking, this guy is also likely to be recruited by the Trail Blazers.

His physical fitness and impact impressed Angel. This guy is simply a perfect substitute for Gerald Wallace. However, one thing is, as an outside player, his skills are really rough and his shooting percentage is not high, which cannot help Angel and Aldridge open up enough space.

Angel, who was training in the swimming pool, shook his head and asked Black Hood to point out the video of the next game for him...

Bradley Bill, Dion Waiters, Harrison Barnes, Terrence Rose... The wonderful scenes of talented players appeared on the TV, and Anjie was also excited to watch. One of these guys is likely to become his teammate next season. However, watching TV is not enough, and Anjie is increasingly looking forward to the next trial session.

The finals between the Heat and the Thunder continued until June 21, and finally James finally got his wish. Even though Anger deliberately did not watch TV, the news rushed into Anger's life with a fierce momentum like a flood.

The Heat Big Three has achieved success, and it turns out that the star group is the fastest way to win the championship! Inside? Inside players may not be important in modern basketball. Look at the Thunder, which has such a strong inside defense, isn’t it also lost to the Heat’s terrifying outside offensive?

"If I were the Trail Blazers, I would take advantage of the moment to take action. A traditional center like him is no longer suitable for modern basketball exhibitions. Look at how badly An was blocked by the Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. You know that using an inside player as a star is very unsafe. The success of the Heat is the right path that all teams should follow!" After the Heat won the championship, various experts also stood up to express their opinions. However, one of them mentioned the names of the Trail Blazers and Anjie.

"He is just saying a lot of useless nonsense. If I were the one who won this year, he would definitely say that the inside players are still the masters of the basketball court. What? You said I haven't even made the finals this season? Don't worry, next season, I will let him swallow all the things he said alive!" An Jie also responded to the expert's remarks without hesitation, and a slutty fight broke out on the Internet.

In addition to being busy training and dealing with the annoying experts, An Jie finally waited for the end of the 2o11-2o12 season. In this way, the Trail Blazers can officially invite rookies to Rose Garden for trial. An Jie will also participate in the entire trial process.

Now Anjie finally understands why Wade was there in person when he tried out the Heat. Wade must have been eager to win the next O'Brien Cup, so he also wanted to personally select helpers who could help him. Unfortunately, Pat Riley and Wade chose Michael Beasley with a very valuable second pick and lost Angel. Now Anjie doesn't want to make the mistake Wade made back then.

So this time, An Jie not only visited the scene in person, but also changed into training uniforms and prepared to compete with the rookies who came to try out!

Many rookies were so nervous that they were at a loss when they saw this situation. An Jie's cruelty was famous in the basketball circle. This group of young people did not want An Jie to wipe out his confidence before entering the league.

But there is no way, the Trail Blazers' arrangement is like this. This is Anjie's request, and Orsey also complied with the promise and agreed to the request.

Therefore, when the confrontational training began and McKeege saw Anger on the court, he was in a state of excitement and fear.

The excitement is because he was finally able to fight with an all-star guy at nBa. The fear is because of the terrifying deterrence that Anjie showed in the competition venue.

However, just the first attack, McKeegee's excitement was greatly reduced and fear increased.

McKeegee was just like playing in NCAA, and easily broke through a European player who was also here to try out. This guy planned to seize this opportunity to perform well in front of Anger and Nelsey, but he didn't know...

As soon as McKeeji took off to the air to dunk, he was slapped the basketball away by An Jie, who came from behind. And he himself lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground in a mess because of the violent impact with An Jie!

McKeege was naturally nervous when he was attacked as soon as he came on the court. He didn't know that the more terrible nightmare was still there.

Anjie didn't have any spare time because the opponent was a rookie. What he was looking for was a guy who could help the team improve immediately, rather than a teammate who needed to be slowly trained. McKeege made three consecutive breakthroughs, without exception, and was ruthlessly strangled by Anjie. Both outside shots were outrageous. This guy's athletic ability did make Angel admire him, but McKeege's low reading game ability, rough grasp of basketball skills, and unstable psychological quality made Anjie difficult to be satisfied with him.

After the trial, Angel, who had walked out of the field, shook his head silently at Orsey. Orsey took out a small notebook and crossed McKeegee's name from it.

The trial was held in this form for several days. In the past few days, they welcomed Dion Witters, a guy who was too self-contained, so Angel couldn't get along with him at all. Harrison Barnes, a forward who seemed omnipotent but was actually not proficient in anything. This guy may be able to succeed in the future, but Angel doesn't want to wait until Barnes grows up before winning the championship. Bradley Bill, the scoring method is really single. Thomas Robinson, just a young version of Camby.

In the past few days, none of the rookies who came to try out can satisfy Anger. Nelsey liked Waiters very much, but Anger directly made it clear that he would not be teammates with a guy like Waiters who always wanted to be the boss. Therefore, Olsey's attachment to Waiters ended here.

Until three days before the June 29 draft, Angel and Orsey had not confirmed the candidates. And there were not many choices left for them at this moment.

"Damion Lillard is a defender who likes to break through and score, but his breakthrough and pass the ball is also very good. We do need a more impactful outside line, and Lillard's shooting ability is also very good. But... I still don't recommend us to choose him." Today is the last day of the Trail Blazers' trial before the draft. Tomorrow, Orsey and Anger will go to New York to prepare for the draft the day after tomorrow. In other words, after today, Anger and Orsey will have to make a decision.

Anjie first threw Olsey's large number of player reports aside, and he came on the court again to play against the little defender in front of him. But when Anjie and Lillard had their first eye contact, Anjie found the difference between Lillard and others.

Among the players who came to Rose Garden to try out before, except for the look of Witters that disrespectful to anyone, the other people's eyes were admiring and complimenting after seeing Anjie. But only Damien Lillard, who is standing in front of Anjie, looked at Anjie with murderous intent!

Now, Angel stands opposite Lillard, and he is Lillard's enemy! Whether Angel is an NBa All-Star or the best defensive player, Lillard is eager to defeat him!

"Interesting." An Jie's mouth curled slightly. At least Lillard's competitive personality and ruffianism were very similar to An Jie's appetite!

After the confrontation training began, Lillard immediately showed the fighting spirit that no one had before! He first took the lead with a three-pointer and a free throw line, and then he used a lightning breakthrough to cause An Jie's foul! And it was a foul of three-pointers!

After being violated, Lillard just glanced at An Jie fiercely and stood on the free throw line.

At first, Anger thought that this guy would be the next Westbrook. But Angel only then appeared. Although Lillard's shooting stability is not as good as a traditional point guard like Nash, it is quite good compared to Westbrook. The more he was scored by this guy, Anger showed that he liked this defender the more he liked.

Seeing Anjie walking off the court after the trial, Orsey picked up a pen and prepared to cross out Lillard's name. But until Anjie walked in front of him, he didn't see Anjie shook his head.

"No, right? Do you fall in love with that kid?" Orsey asked in disbelief.

"Is there any problem? Is there anything wrong with him?" An Jie also asked in surprise. In addition to the trial training, An Jie also learned about Lillard through many videos. He felt that Lillard's performance was perfect, and his fighting spirit also made An Jie admire him more. Isn't Lillard the kind of player the Trail Blazers need?

"There are many bad things! First, this guy is a defender who puts scoring first! I can't guarantee that when he goes to nBa, he will change his playing style. If a defender is unwilling to share the ball with our inside, then our biggest advantage will not be able to be swept! Secondly, he is a senior player, which means that his ability is likely to be like this. He is already in shape and he will probably not get any improvement again! Finally, he was reimbursed for a year in college due to a foot injury, and this guy's health is not guaranteed at all! I don't want to stage the tragedy brought by Roy and Oden in Portland again." Orsey explained the reason to Anjie excitedly, and Anjie's heart was also shaken at this moment.

Anjie looked at Lillard. This guy didn't come to Anjie for an autograph, nor did he ask about Olsey's own trial training. He just silently packed up his own things and prepared to leave and rush to the next trial training venue. He ran around and was confused about his future. Anjie found that Lillard was really like his own back then...

"Hey." But just as Lillard was about to walk out of the training ground, he suddenly shouted at Angel and Orsey.

Angel and Orsey turned their heads, and Lillard did not shy away from their eyes.

"I know you want to win, I know you long for a championship. What I want to say is, I want to do too!" After saying that, Lillard picked up his bag and turned away. Angel looked at Lillard's back, and his somewhat shaken heart seemed to be firm again.

A guy who likes victory, hates failure, doesn't like vanity, and is full of blood. This kind of guy may be the kind of helper An Jie wants.
