Chapter 793: The Power of the Tip of the Iceberg
Anthony joins the Thunder, and Westbrook is finally no longer alone. Thomas and Ross join the Cavaliers at the same time, and James has countless helpers. Rudy Guy joins the Spurs, Aldridge and Leonard are fully prepared. Jimmy Butler joins the Timberwolves, and Minnesota may usher in a new spring. Chris Paul joins the Rockets, and the Western Conference Finals is not far away. Zhou Qi officially signed with Houston, and the Chinese figure in nBa will no longer be the only one.
Also, the most important thing is that the Portland Trail Blazers successfully recruited two of Angel's friends, Paul George and Andrew Morris. This oo legend will surely advance to a higher goal with their cooperation.
Everything that has been born this summer in 2o17 has caused a huge change in the nBa League pattern. There are many strong teams in the West, but there are a large number of stars in the East.
Fans are looking forward to it, hoping that the new season will come soon. After all, the nBa League has not seen such a scene of a hundred schools of thought contending for a long time.
The two words of the top teams and superstars are no longer just patents for some teams, but have become the standard configuration that a team must have if they want to strive for honor.
Like fans, we are looking forward to the arrival of the new season, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who currently ranks first in the nBa salary rankings, Anjie!
As October approaches, Anjie's training is getting more and more diligent. He doesn't want to wait until the pre-match training camp starts before the start of training. This guy hopes to have a good condition before the training camp begins.
With the help of private trainers such as Ganner Peterson, Anjie quickly adjusted his body. At this moment, he had completely lost his holiday rest and could immediately devote himself to high-intensity competitions.
At the same time, Paul George and Morris have also completed a series of business such as moving. Portland has once again become the focus of attention around the world.

"No! Coach George Ricard said, everyone is not allowed to enter!" At the entrance of the home team of Moda Center, a large number of reporters were blocked by two court security guards.
Today is the first day of the nBa pre-match training camp. As the protagonist of news and public opinion this summer, the Blazers' collection must have attracted the attention of most reporters.
"The team did not set up open training today, so please come back! We will never let it go!" The security guard shouted at the door, and the reporters had no choice but to disperse and wait outside the Moda Center first.
Seeing the crowd gradually dissipating, the two security guards guarding the training ground gate breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my God, the last time there were so many reporters in Moda Center, it was three years ago when Ancai Dynasty. This situation has been missing for too long." A security guard took off his hat and sniffed the wind. At this moment, he was already sweating profusely as he tried his best to stop the reporters.
"Get used to all this, man, I think our life will be back in the past in the next year. Moda Center will definitely be like this every day in the future." Another slightly fat security guard looked at the training ground where the door was closed. The group of people in this training ground are like delicious cakes. All reporters hope to get a share of the pie.
Although he will be busier in the future, the fat reporter still smiled slightly. He knew that his favorite Trail Blazers had risen again!

Anjie looked at the crowded training ground. Everyone was very active and everyone was full of longing for the new season.
An Jie looked at the fake three-sided championship banner hanging on the roof of the training ground again. Yes, it has been two years since he won the championship last time. Two years have also made the people in this training hall very different.
Aldridge, who always shoots silently, is gone, and the old Miller who always likes to joke with young players is gone. The desperate figure of Wesley Matthews no longer exists. Nicholas Batum, who loves to tell jokes, has long left. By the way, Robin Lopez, who always likes to argue with himself, but is absolutely trustworthy at critical moments, has now become a genuine "New Yorker".
It's different, in a blink of an eye, everything is different. Now that I'm practicing back-to-back singles, it's Nurkic, a young player from Bosnia and Herzegovina who had never heard of two years ago. What's joking with the players is Anger's old teammate and old friend, Andrew Morris. As for the person who is shooting basketball over and over again, he has also changed from Aldridge to Paul George...
An Jie didn't know what this place would look like in another two years. But he knew that no matter how the Trail Blazers became, the pennants hanging on the top were the goals of the Trail Blazers!
"An! What are you going to do? Go and warm up!" Just as Anjie was staring at the training ground meditating, Ricard's voice came into Anjie's ears.
"I understand, boss!" An Jie smiled slightly and began to warm up under the guidance of the trainer.
Although An Jie missed the old days in the past, he had to admit that the feeling is very good now!
"Okay, guys, come here!" Seeing that the players were almost warming up, Ricard clapped his hands, shouted, and signaled the players to move closer to him.
Today is the first day of the pre-match training camp in the new season. As usual, the head coach will definitely say something to the players.
Morris and Ricard are already very familiar with each other, but Paul George, he doesn't know what this "notorious" rogue coach would say during training.
"I look at you, they are all like bandits. Why? They all want to wear the championship ring?" Ricard said with a smile, looking at the players who were eager to try in front of him.
"Can't wait, boss!" Morris, who joined the new team, answered first, and his answer also resonated with the rest of the team.
This is the character of this guy, and he can quickly integrate into a brand new environment. At this moment, Morris' performance is as if he has been with the Trail Blazers for several years.
"Where are you? George, why don't you speak?" Seeing that George seemed to be a little unwilling to let go, Ricard deliberately "named and asked questions".
"I? I just hope that training will start quickly, and then I can let everyone see how much changes I can bring to this team." George learned very quickly, and he spoke in a bit of a "trailblazer" style now.
"Hahahaha, I like you boy! No wonder Anhui becomes friends with you. You are all a bunch of bastards! Okay, you heard what George said. Go and prepare me. The first training class of the new season, let's start with the return run! I want to see what you guys have done throughout the summer! Go and go to the bottom line for me!"
Watching Ricard shouting on the court and the players were running non-stop, Divac couldn't help but smile.
How long has the Trail Blazers not been so energetic? It seems that this season, he has no chance to take a vacation early.

Paul George's control of the ball outside the three-point line attracted the defense of Matt Barnes and Avraro. For George, who is 2.6 meters tall, his height advantage brought him infinite benefits when he was moving in the second position.
At this moment, although he was subjected to double-teaming, George could still see the situation on the field with his own perspective.
Just before the double-team was about to be completed, George suddenly raised the ball over his head and passed it hard. The basketball passed through Barnes' fingertips and flew towards Lillard, who had cut in after taking the ball over Iguodala.
After Lillard received the basketball and lost Cousins, the Kings' deterrence in the inside was greatly reduced. Although Cowley Stan, a young man, was very good, it was not enough to make him strong enough to scare Lillard.
Lillard took three steps and seemed to plan to directly lay up to attack the frame!
How could the young and energetic Cowley Stan allow Lillard to go wild on his head? He must use a bloody big bomb to let the defender No. 0 know whose territory is the penalty area!
Lillard pressed Cowley Stan with his shoulder and forced himself to jump. Stan straightened his arm in the air and covered Lillard. This time the cover was blocked, and he couldn't run away!
At this moment, Lillard, who seemed to be preparing to make a layup, suddenly took the ball and walked around Stan's waist with the ball, stuffing the orange-red ball into Anjie's hand.
Kings power forward Anthony Toliver naturally knew what this meant. He wanted to rush to the penalty area to make up for defense, but was stopped by the vicious Morris.
Anjie held the basketball steadily. At this time, Cowley Stan, who was deceived by Lillard, had not yet landed. In front of Anjie, there was an unguarded basket!
So the oo got enough energy, his feet jumped at the same time, and his body went up vertically. When the height was right, Anjie swung his arms and the basketball was smashed into the basket forcefully. The basketball stand in the Sleeping Train Arena of Sacramento also made painful "moans"!
"Dunk at the basket! Ann's dunk power reminds me of Shaq sitting next to me!" Kenny Smith grabbed the microphone and shouted. Such a dunk is worth cheering for.
"The Kings have no way to do a typical tactic for the Trail Blazers. This year, the Trail Blazers are too powerful. The most important thing is that these guys who are powerful enough can still play according to the tactics. Let's take a look at their exquisite cooperation, starting from Iguodala's unball pick-and-roll to Anger's last dunk on the spot. This process is even more wonderful than the final dunk." On the espn side, Jeff Van Gundy's angle is completely different from Kenny Smith.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this guy Ricard could actually manage this group of stars in a submissive way.
After An Jie scored a goal, he slapped the four teammates on the field one by one. The Sleeping Train Arena was about to fall, and it was no trouble to capture it.
68 to 4o, when Angel drew that goal, Cousins, Guy and Ben McCollum were missing, and the gap was widened to 3o points, only one step away.
The highly-watched Trail Blazers showed their unparalleled strength in the first game of the preseason.
Seeing Cowley Stan running towards him, Anjie couldn't help but hook his finger at the little guy.
Chapter completed!
