Chapter 221 218: No need to make this trip (4K begging for a ticket)

In fact, this cannon head is not completely untouchable.

For example, Deng Daidai, who has a head-touching habit, touched Paul's head last season and retreated unscathed.

As a senior in Wake Forest, Duncan is very admired by Paul.

When Paul chose to join Wake Forest, there was a reason for Duncan.

Therefore, when Duncan touched Paul's head, Paul not only did not resist, but even enjoyed it a bit, and actively catered to him.

So it can be concluded that the gun head can be touched, but you have to let him convince you.

Either defeat him or subdue him, you always have to beat him in playing and fighting.

Paul is the kind of person who is extremely demanding on his teammates and eager to win, but if you have the same desire as him, you can still get along very well with him.

On the third day of preseason training camp, the Trail Blazers are getting better.

McMillan told everyone on the first day: "Our goal this season is to win!"

So all of them work really hard.

It doesn't matter if you don't work hard, because the two main players of this team work very hard.

Paul and Wayne, the duel between them is simply Patterson's favorite highlight of the day.

Unlike Pacers' Carlisle, McMillan arranged a 5-on-5 mock confrontation for the players on the first day.

To do so requires competition.After all, a total of 9 players on the Trail Blazers this season are new aids, basically changing their bottom line.

The lineup is definitely not going to be the same as it was last season.

Therefore, McMillan needs to let the players find their position in the confrontation. To put it bluntly, how much playing time you will have next season depends on how much strength you can show during this time.

In the second aspect, McMillan also wants the players to enter the fighting state from the beginning.

The task given by the management is obvious, and that is the championship.

The original words of owner Paul Allen are: "In three years, I want to see Portland win the championship."

Well, it was three years, but McMillan knew that this was just a euphemism. Paul Allen couldn't wait any longer.

Since the boss has spent money, of course he hopes to get something in return.

A team that is not competitive cannot be a championship team.

Therefore, the competitive spirit must be cultivated from now on.

At this point, it was time for the last part of the daily training - 5-on-5 simulated confrontation.

All the players gathered together and waited for McMillan to be grouped.

For the past two days, Paul and Wayne have always been on opposite sides of each other no matter how they are divided.

Today is no exception.

"Team A: Fred Jones, Anthony Parker, PJ Tucker, Wayne, Gasol.

Team B: Paolo, Juan Dixon, Amy Uduka, Outlaw, Mourning.

Everyone else, stand by! "

After McMillan was divided into groups, the players were eager to try.

Pao Luo also immediately became serious. Two days ago, the team he led lost to the team led by Wayne.

Today, he must win back!

The training match has officially started. Since it is a training match, there will be no scrimmage.

Paul's first team directly got the ball first, and Paoer also slowly advanced with the ball.

He first called Mourning to come up to cover. Mourning also knew his status this season. He was a veteran who came to assist young people, so he was always obedient.

Making money with both hands, how can you be so stupid?

Using the screen, Paul broke through Jones.

In the process of advancing, he glanced at Mourning.

Mourning felt a "thump" in his heart.

Boy, I know what you mean, but forgive me, it's not easy for me to play alley-oops at my age, and I'm here to defend the catch.

Just when Mourning was about to jump up, Paul suddenly withdrew the basketball and lightly tossed and hit the board.

This makes one person hold the ball and 9 people nervous, because even the team with him doesn't know what he will do next.

At this time, Pao Luo, who has extremely strong core strength and is completely healthy, can cancel a certain action midway at will.

After scoring the goal, Paul called his teammates to retreat quickly.

But soon, Wayne returned a ball to Paul.

For this ball, Gasol and Wayne played high and low.

Well, don't get me wrong, it's not Gasol in the low post and Wayne in the high post.

This time, it was Wayne in the low post and Gasol in the high post.

Although the "Kidney Fighter" is old, there are still a few drops left, and he averaged 2.7 caps per game last season.

In the case of so much decline in athletic ability, he still took a 2.7 risk, which shows Mourning's defensive skills.

As long as he doesn't play too much time, Mourning is still a very good engineer in the paint.

Therefore, Gasol did not go hard on the inside and Mourning.

Anyway, Gasol can also support and shoot in the high post, and it is very suitable to cooperate with Wayne in the high and low post.

There is no situation where the ball cannot be passed in or the space cannot be opened.

At this time, Travis Outlaw, the third hardest player on the Trail Blazers, was defending Wayne.

Well, before Paul came, he was the most hardworking player in the Blazers.

Now that Wayne has also come, he can only come in third.

Outlaw heard a rumor that Wayne practiced with Kobe at [-] a.m. every summer.

Do not know is not true.

But it's outrageous.

Outlaw, although mild-mannered, is remarkably athletic.

He is a true beast striker.

However, Outlaw's strength and height are doomed that he will not be an excellent low post single defense gate.

Like Wayne, he's more suited to sweeping the court than fighting in the low post.

So facing Wayne, Outlaw expressed great pressure.

Wayne catches the ball, leans back hard, and shakes his shoulder to the left.

Outlaw moved a step, but Wayne pulled his body back in the next second, turned in the opposite direction, took off, leaned back, shot, and hit.

"brush!"

"Wow, it's kind of handsome, damn it, handsome!" Paul wanted to slap himself, why did he appreciate Wayne more and more?

This idea is dangerous, my boy!

Wayne scored a goal and celebrated with high fives with his sister-in-law.

"Come on Chris, can you beat me today?" When he ran to Paul, Wayne still didn't forget to spray Paul.

Paoluo didn't say anything, he must win a game today!

After that, Paul shredded Jones' defense with a very beautiful change of direction breakthrough.

Jones is no match for Paul on the defensive end.

Fred Jones' strongest ability is dunking. Although he is less than 1 meters tall, his legs seem to be covered with explosives.

However, apart from dunking, Jones' other business abilities need to be improved.

After Paul's breakthrough, Wayne defended the past immediately.

Pao'er naturally observed Wayne, but he still jumped up and assumed a throwing posture.

Little did he know that in the air, Paoluo turned his throw into a pass and sent the ball to Outlaw.

Otherwise, Paul is the most difficult guard to be blocked?

Outlaw shoots as soon as he catches the ball. After several years of experience, Outlaw is now somewhat sure of the mid-range shot.

But unfortunately, the ball failed to hit.

Paul, Wayne and Gasol are in good shape because they just came down from the World Championships.

But others are still in a stage of entering the state.

Gasol gets the rebound and passes the ball straight to Wayne.

Wayne pushed forward with the ball, and Paul rushed up to steal it, but accidentally missed it.

Wayne is so stupid, he must lift the ball when he sees Paul coming.

In this way, Paul failed to steal, and instead collided with Wayne.

Since Paul is very fast, the impact of this collision is not small.

Wayne and Paul both fell back and fell to the ground.

But before falling down, Wayne passed the ball out and sent it to Brother Tucker.

"Fuck, you hurt me!"

While Paoluo was still complaining, Wayne shook off Paul's arm, got up from the ground, and continued to participate in the attack.

No one noticed Wayne getting up and cutting to the basket so quickly, so he was left unmarked.

Tucker saw it and hurriedly passed a high ball to Wayne.

"I Cao, you think I'm Jordan!" The pass was too far from the basket, and Wayne couldn't dunk directly.

After all, brother Tucker is still very rough, and his positioning is a muscular defender, so it is understandable to pass the ball like this.

However, Wayne didn't give up. If the dunk is not good, I should be able to make a layup.

In this way, after being knocked down, Wayne immediately made an alley-oop layup and successfully scored points.

"Now, Paul is not the most desperate player on our training ground." Patterson, who was supervising the battle, smiled on the sidelines.

"Good shot, this shot is really hard!" Brother Tucker couldn't help but praised his opponent in college.

Most people also praised Wayne in their hearts.

Including Paul.

"This guy has a stronger sense of competition than me. Even if he falls down, he doesn't forget to keep attacking. I like this kind of strong man."

Paul shook his head and kept telling himself, don't fall into the trap!

"Come on Chris, let me see how much you have improved, let me see how far you are from Deron." The entire basketball court was filled with Wayne's shouts.

In this kind of game without spectators, the shouting of the players themselves is the seasoning of the game atmosphere.

Fortunately, Paul's third attack was finally completed.

This time he broke through and chose to end the attack with a throw, avoiding the block.

Paoer before the serious injury, his scoring ability is really strong, and his explosive power is amazing.

However, this still cannot help him get rid of the disadvantage.

After that, Wayne broke through and assisted Anthony Parker to hit a three-pointer.

In the past three days, Parker has been very mature, and his three-point shooting rate is also very stable.

The key is that the defense is also good, with a height close to 2 meters, which is more suitable for defending the second position than Dixon, who is 1 meters.

The last time the No. 97 rookie in 21 played in the NBA dates back to the millennium.

When he played in the Orlando Magic in the 99-00 season, he averaged only 3.6 points per game and was cut by the Magic.

In the next few years, he practiced in Europe and won the championship and MVP.

Signing Anthony Parker, Patterson admitted that he had a gamble, but now, a bad show has become a starting candidate.

Wayne really connected the team, but Paul fell into a vicious circle that wanted to prove himself even more.

Just like that, after today's training match, Pao'er still lost!

At the end of the game, Paoer was out of breath.

"It's Gasol, it must be because of him!

If I were on his team too, I would have won it! "

Pao'er thought so in his heart.

As a result, the next day, he and his sister-in-law were indeed assigned to the same team.

However, he still lost.

"Wayne's success rate in singles today is too high. Have you seen his fadeaway jumper? He looks like a defender!" Patterson marveled at Wayne's progress.

As a general manager who has been watching Wayne closely, he remembers that Wayne didn't have that fallback last season.

In fact, Wayne rarely chooses to attack with his back.

While his turnaround jumper hits a decent percentage, he still rarely uses it.

But in the training match, Wayne let people see his new possibilities.

Although this is still not a serious inside post technique, as long as you can score goals, who cares how you score.

Patterson is sure that his deal was not in vain.

The Trail Blazers lineup is at the fourth position. Except for the wife who was pulled to play center this season, no one can restrain Wayne at all.

Outlaw, Posey, and Tucker, one counts as one, and Wei Shen takes it all.

This is actually Patterson's intentional lineup, because Wayne will play a lot of time this season, so most of the substitutes for the fourth position are swingers at the third and fourth positions.

Wayne himself doesn't need a good backup.

Under Wayne's tough style and strong personal offensive, Pao'er + Jiasao still lost.

Pao Er has always been very strict with his teammates, but he was surprised to find that even he couldn't fault Wayne.

A man who is more eager to win, trains harder, and is tougher, in stark contrast to Randolph last season.

Of course, Randolph, who was in Memphis at this time, was also training hard as if he had opened his mind.

And he yelled "your whole family is coins" all day long.

That's another story, though.

Finally, after all the pre-season training camps were over, Paul's record against Wayne in confrontation training was still more losses than losses.

He began to admire the guy who almost wore No. 58 from the bottom of his heart.

After the preseason, McMillan is still based on the experimental lineup.

In addition, there are many short-term contract players in the team during this period, so it is not surprising that more than a dozen players rotate in a game.

With such a rotation, there can't be any record. After the first few games, there were wins and losses.

Until October 10th, today, the Trail Blazers are a guest in Salt Lake City against the Utah Jazz.

Although this game was just an insignificant preseason game, Pao Luo played very seriously and wanted to win very much.

After all, there is Deron on the opposite side.

However, the fantasy is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

Deron perfectly suppressed Paoluo again today.

No way, Pao'er's butt can be considered fat in the ranks of point guards, but Deron's is bigger than him.

Taller and stronger than you, not much slower than you.

Hit it with a hammer.

In addition, the style of this Jazz is still very iron-blooded, and the physical confrontation is very active and rough, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.

In the third quarter of the game, Pao Luo finally used Wayne's pick-and-roll to break through Deron once, but was pushed by Boozer during a layup.

Paul's center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground. Naturally, he failed to make progress in basketball.

Just as Pao'er was feeling aggrieved, Wayne walked towards Paul, and intentionally or unintentionally bumped Boozer away with his shoulder.

"hey fuck you"

Just as Boozer was about to yell, Wayne suddenly turned around and stared at the bald man who was about to yell.

Suddenly, Boozer was silent.

This is already Wayne's third season in the league, and his combat effectiveness has long been well-known.

It's not a ruthless character. Few people dare to challenge Wayne again.

"Fuck fuck, keep your mouth clean. By the way, don't fucking touch my brother again, or else"

At this time, the referee came up and pushed Wayne away.

"Hey, what a big deal, calm down Godway."

Boozer suddenly became obedient and retreated silently.

After that, Wayne turned around, walked up to Paul who was sitting on the ground, and stretched out his hand.

"Are you okay?"

"Huh? Uh-huh, it's okay." Paul grabbed Wayne's forearm, and as soon as Wayne exerted force, Paul stood up.

This is called boyfriend teammate power.

He was protecting me just now?Standing up for me?

"It's fine, just play hard, the game is not over yet. Aren't you going to kill Deron? I'll be with you." After speaking, Wayne patted Pao'er's head.

This time, he didn't dodge or resist!

I was conquered by Wayne's playing in the training game, and now I am conquered by Wayne's actions, and I am still resisting.

Sister-in-law: It turns out that Paoer likes this type of character, but I am not suitable for that kind of fierce character.Forget it, leave the cannon head to Wayne.

After being touched on the head by Wayne, Pao'er immediately felt high fighting spirit.

"I'm going to smash Salt Lake City to pieces!" Paul clapped his hands and stood at the free throw line.

Seeing Paul's sudden energy, Wayne couldn't help but look at his palm.

From this point of view, the effect of cutting grass and roots has been fulfilled!

Wait, if the effect is fulfilled, wouldn't it be that Pao'er's firing rate is too high?

Although Pao'er has always had a cut head, there is still a difference between a cut head and a bald head.

And if he starts to bald from the middle like Ginobili, the shape of this cannon in the future

Cough!

Now is not the time to think about hair volume.

How can you become stronger without being bald! ?

Paul made two free throws, and then took the initiative to high-five Wayne.

Well, Wayne's original plan was that he couldn't win Paul, so he had to elbow him.

Now it seems that Paul has begun to show signs of being obedient before his elbow is out.

Well, let's keep it for you first.

Wei Ge's progress in picking up his sister-in-law began to go on the right track.

　Today there is 1.3W.
