In this year's free agent market, the Oklahoma City Thunder did not make any big moves. After all, the Thunder's lineup is already strong enough. Generally, teams that have reached the finals will not make too much adjustments in the team's lineup.

But Presti is still very angry recently. When Nicholas Batum did not renew his contract with the team immediately, Presti felt something was wrong. However, now, the damn bad news is still there.

36.72 million in four years, such a price is not something that Presti can afford. What's more, Batum's positioning in the team is just a substitute for Durant. A substitute player earns an annual salary of about tens of millions a year, which is really a luxury for Presti.

Durant and Westbrook have just signed a big contract with the team, and Morris and Ibaka are about to face renewal. In order to ensure that these four guys will not leave, Presti had to give up Batum and let the Trail Blazers complete the match for their contract.

Losing Batum is actually no big deal, but Batum returns to the Trail Blazers, which means that the Trail Blazers used only one draft pick and Craig Smith to exchange Angel!

Presti now can't stop that bastard Orsey now, otherwise God will know that he will poach some Thunder players. Fortunately, this time, Orsey really plans to stop.

The Trail Blazers' lineup has basically been built, and the Trail Blazers' salary space has been exhausted. Now, even if you sign again, you can only sign some shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Orsey has completed his work and has done everything he can to win the championship. Now, the baton on the way to win the championship marathon has been officially handed over to Ricard and Anjie.

"You old guy, I won't inform me if you change your career." Anjie was talking to Divac at this moment. Anjie had no idea about Divac's intention to join the team as an assistant coach.

"I want to give you a surprise, haha. This humanitarian consultant sits in the office all day long, which is really boring. After so many years, I decided to return to the court. The Kings originally invited me to be a personnel consultant, but I still think it's interesting to be a coach." Divac didn't have a serious answer.

"Hey, after I come, the training requirements will definitely be very strict. You kid, you have to be prepared."

"Don't worry, you can send it!" Angel was not afraid of Divac's rigorous training. Divac's arrival means the arrival of more experience. As one of the most passing centers in nBa history, Divac's guidance to Angel was something that others could not give.

After finishing the call, Anjie asked Meslav to help him pay for the fees incurred for hiring a trainer. After that, Anjie bought a flight ticket to Brazil. He and Katherine wanted to spend their last leisure time.

While in London, Angel and Catherine's chat made the relationship between two couples who were not often met better. The half-month trip to Brazil was simply sweet for Angel and Catherine.

The two of them played happily by the beach in Brazil and forgot all the madness at the carnival. This short half a month really made Angel understand the meaning of the word holiday.

When Anjie and Catherine had to part ways again, it was already the end of September. Since Anjie led the team to the Western Conference Finals last season, this was also the shortest holiday since Anjie entered the nBa.

Drafts, Olympics, summer trading, training, travel... In just the blink of an eye, the new nBa season is coming soon.

"I will strive to propose to you with the championship trophy this season." Before leaving, Anjie gently kissed Catherine on the forehead. This year, with a brand new lineup, the word championship will no longer be just a fantasy.

In the first season, Anjie's main goal was to survive in nBa. In the second season, Anjie's main goal was to lead the team into the playoffs. In the third season, Anjie just wanted to recover and step onto the court again. In the just-concluded fourth season, Anjie just wanted to prove himself again, and then he started to have the idea of ​​the O'Brien Cup. This year, Anjie had no other goal, and he focused all his attention on the finals and the O'Brien Cup! This year, he must succeed!

The plane took off and the two couples parted again. But this time, Anjie did not plan to return empty-handed.

"The dirtiest players in nBa play: Warcraft, Love was selected, and Anjie ranked second!" It is only one and a half months before the start of the nBa new season, and only half a month before the start of the nBa summer training camp. During this period, various articles that look forward to the new season are naturally the topics selected by major newspapers and magazines. Sports Illustrated Magazine chose a very novel angle to warm up the upcoming 12-13 season.

"Bullshit, this nickname is definitely worthy of Ann. It's not that he is a person like Bowen who will cause a player to be seriously injured. But Ann's small movements on the court and his tough style still make many nBa players stay away from him. Pulling the jersey, pushing his knees, dark elbows, and of course, the superb fake falls are all actions that Ann is likely to use in a game. To talk about historical rankings, Ann may not be able to enter the top ten, after all, the group of villains in the 90s were too barbaric. But in the inventory of the dirty players at the active playing field, I think Ann can definitely be ranked second!" Next to the text is a high-definition game photo. In the photo, Ann is posing for Garnett's envoy's dark elbows. The special topic of this issue of Sports Illustrated is full of pictures and texts. The players on this list even want to make a quibble and have nowhere to find.

"Should I be honored for this?" Anjie picked up this issue of Sports Illustrated Magazine, a little amused.

"Of course, those who are on the top three of this list are not easy to mess with." Ricard's answer with a smile made Anjie feel embarrassed.

"The team will gather in a few days. There are so many new players coming this season. At this critical moment, I'm going to create such a special topic on Sports Illustrated. Isn't it to slander me in front of the new players?" An Jie said, as if he has always been at peace with his own playing basketball.

"Your opponent may hate you because of this, but believe me, as long as you can lead the team to win, your teammates won't care what method you use." Ricard snatched the sports pictorial in Anger's hands. If he wanted to rank, Garnett would have to rank behind Anger.

"The people who are willing to switch to the Trail Blazers this summer are players who are eager for victory and championships just like you. The only criterion for them to play on the court is to win! So don't worry. Your new teammates won't hate you because of an article. On the contrary, if you can be on this list, you inject greater confidence into them. With a leader who uses any means to win, they don't have to worry about victory. Okay, continue training. You don't want to be looked down upon by your new teammates after the training camp starts." Ricard blew the whistle in his mouth, and Anjie continued to conduct jumping training under the leadership of the trainer. Now there are only 10 days before the Trail Blazers summer training camp begins. After 10 days, Anjie will start practicing with his new teammates. And the group of people who gather together after 10 days will be strong contenders for the championship this season!

Signing, transfers, trading, and the long summer have made all fans unable to wait. Of course, as a player, there are always a few weird people who think that their vacation is too long. And Anjie is one of them.

This is Andre Iguodala's first time coming to Portland to participate in a summer training camp. He is not familiar with Portland and even got lost on the street. The GPS navigation shows that Iguodala should turn left at this intersection, but now to the left of Iguodala is an artificial lake that has just been excavated.

Iguodala's map information must have not been updated for a long time.

"Hey, Andre?" A guy riding a motorcycle shouted at Iguodala who drove. Iguodala thought it was a Portland fan who was greeting him, but when the rider took off his helmet, Iguodala saw that the guy in front of him was the rookie selected by the Trail Blazers with a sixth overall pick this year, Damien Lillard.

"It's great to see you. Do you know the way?" Iguodala felt that she had found a savior.

"I have navigation in my headphones." Lillard pointed to his secret Bluetooth headphones, and looked at Iguodala's car with a strange look.

"My GPS guides me to swim in the river." Iguodala pointed to the newly built artificial lake, and Lillard immediately understood Iguodala's situation.

"Hahaha, it's okay, follow me, my map information was updated yesterday." After saying that, the green light lit up, and Lillard and Iguodala entered the Rose Garden Stadium not far away at the same time.

Although the summer training camp was only opened, there were still many fans outside the Rose Garden Arena today. In order to maintain order on the scene, the Portland police had to dispatch a large number of people to ensure that the players would not encounter any trouble.

Iguodala and Lillard were surprised to see that countless signs with the words "Welcome to Portland" were lifted in the crowd. They were already enthusiastically sought after by fans without a single game in the Trail Blazers. No matter who is in such a situation, they will be in a good mood.

With a sense of pleasure and expectation, Lillard and Iguodala walked into the stadium. For Iguodala, the Rose Garden is not unfamiliar. After all, he would come here to play a few away games every season before. But for Lillard, the perfect facilities of this modern stadium shocked him very much.

"Hello, please come here." As soon as I entered the door, a security guard appeared in front of Lillard and Iguodala. In order to allow new players to find the home team training ground in this maze-like player passage, Orsey arranged a special staff to wait at the door today.

After turning a few turns in the player's passage, Lillard and Iguodala heard the sound of "Peng, Peng, Peng". The more they went in, the louder and louder it became. There was no doubt that this was the sound of the collision between the basketball and the wooden floor, but who would be there?

"It's here. If you need it, call me anytime." The security guard asked Iguodala and Lillard to sign for themselves, and then turned around and left. Iguodala and Lillard looked at each other, then pushed open the door to the training ground.

The training ground was very empty because it was not time for the team to gather. Iguodala and Lillard were afraid of getting lost, so they went out so early and arrived so early in advance.

There was only one person playing ball in the huge training ground. Seeing that the door was pushed open, the person stopped his movements and walked towards the door.

As the tall figure got closer, the shadow on the man gradually dissipated. When the guy walked to Lillard and Iguodala, he spoke first.

"Hello, I am Anjie. Welcome, welcome to join the Trail Blazers' family!" Anjie smiled friendly at the two at the door.

In the new season, new teammates, first contact. No one can give an accurate answer to how much energy these guys who cooperate for the first time can burst out.
Chapter completed!
