Chapter 787: Familiar and Unfamiliar Locker Room

Just when the Trail Blazers lost a large number of important personnel in one summer, only Lillard, the guy who was selected by Anjie, publicly stated that he would continue to play next to Anjie.

Nell Orsey did not disappoint Lillard's loyalty. When the preseason was about to begin, the Trail Blazers officially announced that the team renewed Lillard's contract in advance for 5 years of $120 million. This means that Lillard, whose salary this season is only 4.24 million, will soar to 2ooo million next season!

In this way, Orsey at least ensures that the Trail Blazers will continue to be competitive in the West. Although Angel has only the last year left for Anger's contract, he will definitely renew his contract with the Trail Blazers, which has the bird rights, in the next summer. Lillard has just renewed his contract with the team for five years. In this way, the Trail Blazers can at least maintain a core combination like Angel Galliard in the future. As long as these two guys are there, the Trail Blazers will not completely sink.

There is a reason why Nell Orsey suddenly made such a big renewal, because the total salary of other Trail Blazers this season is at the bottom of the league.

Alley won't use up all the money that Paul Allen gives to Orsey. Allen has to take back all the money that Paul Allen has. Instead of saving money for Paul Allen, Orsey might as well stabilize Lillard before the offseason comes.

After all, who can tell what happened a year later? Just like a year ago, Olsey was killed and could not have thought that the Trail Blazers would become apart.

Lillard's contract renewal with the team has also become the last major news in the NBA league this season's offseason.

After that, the NBA pre-match training camp officially began, and then the preseason will follow one after another. After the preseason, the journey of the NBA in the new season will be completely launched.

With anticipation, Anjie once again walked into the maze-like player channel of Moda Center after four months.

"Hey, I've cleaned the locker room for you!" In the player passage, Anjie met the locker room cleaner Lao Yifan.

"How does champagne taste?" Anjie and Old Ivan joked.

"Great! Hey, if you can, I really wish I had your championship champagne every year!"

"I will work hard, Old Ivan." Anjie waved at the amiable cleaner and walked to the door of the locker room.

An Jie took a deep breath. Although he was extremely familiar with this locker room, after pushing the door, everything must have been different.

In addition to Angel, Lillard and Iguodala, the Trail Blazers have almost undergone a major change this summer. I don’t know what the scene is like in the locker room at this moment.

After An Jie finished his deep breathing, he did not hesitate anymore. He suddenly pushed open the door of the locker room, and the familiar noise came to his face in an instant.

"Hey! See who is coming! Dark Knight!" Lillard jumped up excitedly and slapped Angel.

"How is the rest? Man." Iguodala sat in front of her position and nodded at Anjie.

"You finally come to the boss. I'm still waiting for you to perform your dunk at the Asian Championships for me!" Meyers Leonard, the big man who entered the team through the draft, is still here.

"An, I heard that this year's championship ring will be very unique." Contney Li, who joined the team in the same year as Anjie, also stood up and waved to Anjie.

"Hey boss, I heard from the boss that my playing time will increase a lot this year, and I will pass more balls to you then!" Finally, it was the Trail Blazers young defender Allen Crabbe.

An Jie scanned the room again and was gone. The Trail Blazers who created the dynasty with him last season are now only these five people left.

There is no need to say more about Aldridge, Batum, Matthews and Robin Lopez. They are the most popular personnel changes in the Trail Blazers this summer. But in fact, these four people are not the only personnel changes.

Old Miller was involved in the deal, Earl Watson retired in a low-key manner, and Thomas Robinson, who had a flash of inspiration, did not renew his contract, Dorrell White went to Houston...

After greeting an acquaintance, there were a bunch of strange faces in front of An Jie. These people looked at An Jie with a look of awe, while An Jie could only smile at everyone casually. This locker room is really familiar and unfamiliar.

"It seems you get along well!" Just after Anjie met with his new teammates, Ricard and Divac, the two coaching staff core members, also pushed the goal in.

"Hey, boss, how are the holidays going?" Angel embraced Ricard and Divac intimately. No matter how the Trail Blazers change, the core pillars of this team will not be dispersed.

"It's so sloppy, mainly because of the damn trade rumors that made me feel uneasy. I was so scared that I suddenly received a notice of being traded." Ricard joked with everyone, which made the new players who had just arrived slightly let go of their restraint. The legendary rogue coach is not that scary.

"Okay guys, sit in your own position. Listen, I don't care where you came from, and I don't care what you have achieved in the previous team. Now, you all belong to the Portland Trail Blazers! From now on, each of you has to fight for the championship! Believe me, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, the next dynasty member will be you! Everyone will perform well in the training this afternoon! I only look at the training status to determine the team's roster and playing time, and I don't care about your past! What about you Ed, if your performance this afternoon can touch me, maybe I will put it on the bench and let you go?" Ricard said, joking at the strong inside player Ed Davis who just came from the Lakers.

"I will work hard, sir!...No, boss!" Ed Davis saluted Ricard in a good manner. In this way, the distance between Ricard and the new player was instantly narrowed.

The afternoon training was in full swing as Anjie expected. When most of the team's rotation players left the team, Ricard had to adjust the team's tactics appropriately according to the situation.

Especially the team's second team, there was almost a major blood change. As a result, the training task today is very heavy.

Players must experiment over and over again to experiment with which tactics and styles of play are more suitable for the current configuration.

Some players have begun to feel that the training of the Trail Blazers is too hard, but when they see Anjie, a legendary figure, still sweating without regrets, others are not qualified to say that they are tired.

Anjie is always able to drive the team with his actions on and off the court, even if there are many new members in this team, it is no exception.

After an afternoon of training, Ricard still did not straighten out his tactical ideas. There are too many new players and too many players. There are surprises like McCollum, and there are also guys like Henderson who are not up and down.

It is not easy to put together an almost refurbished team.

It seems that this season is really a huge challenge for the Trail Blazers!

"Okay guys!" Ricard shouted, and many new players thought they could finally get off work.

"Event activities, let's continue training!" However, Ricard's next words made many people gasp.

It seems that it is not that easy to play for a dynasty team.

Moda Center has once again become a battlefield for this group of players to sweat. Anjie's NBA career will also be very different due to the huge changes in the team's lineup.

But no matter how the team changes, there is something that will definitely not be shaken by Anjie.

This thing is the heart that longs for champions!

Anjie is ready for a brand new challenge!
