Chapter 450 447: Extremely contagious! (5K begging tickets)
The pre-season training camp has started for several days, and the Chinese reporters are very concerned about the dynamics of the Chinese Legion.

Wayne and Yao Ming's consecutive championships have made the popularity of the NBA unprecedentedly high in China.

Basketball is arguably the most popular sport.

Every year after the start of the training camp, there will be piles of Chinese reporters marching towards each team.

But this year, the start of the Chinese Legion did not seem to be very smooth, and what the reporters brought back was not good news.

First of all, in New Jersey, although Ah Lian shaved a very rigid cut, his expression was somewhat helpless during the interview.

Last season, he averaged 16 points per game, played well with Deron's pick-and-roll, and reached the Eastern Conference finals with the team.

I thought I could work harder this season and reach the mark of averaging 20 points per game in one go.

The result is not a more stable position, but Garnett.

Although the UAE played well last season, giving way to Garnett is almost a certainty.

At this time, the domestic media began to hype again.

After reading these reports, Wayne felt as if he had returned to the past.

"The United Arab League performed well in the training game! I'm afraid we will continue to secure the starting position!"

"In the second half of the training match, Deron missed a layup, but Ah Lian grabbed the offensive rebound in the crowd and directly made a dunk. After this goal was scored, Ah Lian also showed a confident smile. I believe this goal has already won him the trust of the coach."

"Hard hook and Feixian, how is Ah Lian better than the old wolf king?"

Well, all the media seem to think that the UAE should be the starter.

Hard special?Hard ass!It was Zhuer who was beaten by Wayne and Dayao.

That being the case, why can't the United Arab Emirates?
The domestic media has repeatedly raised the fans' expectations of the UAE. It is well known that if the data of the UAE drops after playing as a substitute next season, what kind of verbal criticism will be encountered.

No matter in the previous life or now, Chinese fans have made a mistake in the UAE-excessive demands.

They all compare him with Yao Ming and Wayne, as if not reaching the height of the two is a failure.

Wayne only hopes that this time as a substitute will not affect the mentality of the United Arab Emirates.

How long Harder will stay in the Nets is uncertain, so as long as he survives this period of time, it will be a blessing in disguise.

The UAE became a substitute, which was the first blow to Chinese fans.

But soon, the matter of the United Arab Emirates lost its heat.

Because there is even more exciting news out of Los Angeles.

At the beginning of October, at the regular press conference of the preseason training camp, Yao Ming announced that he would retire after finishing this season.

All the reporters present were taken aback. They were still asking about Yao Ming and the three consecutive championships a minute ago.

As a result, Yao Ming backhanded the news of his retirement.

Everyone is stupid, it is normal for players to retire, but most of the retirements of players are expected.

For example, Duncan, if he announced that he would retire after this season, people would probably not be so surprised.

Duncan: I'm still just a rookie!

But Yao Ming, everyone hasn't forgotten how he tortured Howard in the Western Conference finals last season.

Yao Ming had nothing wrong with him last season except for a slightly lower attendance rate.

Why is this about to retire?
Not only the Chinese reporters, but even the reporters from the beautiful country couldn’t believe it.

Just two days ago, someone broke the news that Yao Ming planned to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance.

Well, I know how unreliable these gossips are.
Yao Ming did not elaborate on the reasons for his retirement at the press conference, but only said that he wanted to start a new journey.

Just like that, the dazed reporters were left in place, messed up in the wind.

On the one hand, Yi Jianlian may be pushed to the bench in the new season, and on the other hand, Yao Ming will retire after this season.

This.
Can you still have fun!

Fortunately, in Portland, Wei Ge didn't continue to stimulate everyone's nerves.

Everything is normal for the Blazers, no different than usual.

Although there were gossip that Wayne and Stephenson had a big fight on the training ground, both parties denied it.

Wayne said he was just joking with rookies, and Finson said that Wei Ge was right.

Since then, there has been no further disturbance in this matter.

Speaking of Finsen, this guy has been much more low-key since he made two moves with Wei Ge last time.

But he was not afraid of being beaten, but because of Wei Ge's sentence "If you want to tell the team that missed you that they are a bunch of idiots, put away your damn pride and listen to the trainer."

Yes, only the pioneers think highly of themselves, so why bother to find themselves unhappy?

Since then, Finsen has played honestly.

It's all right, and I can buy some drinks for Brother Wei.

Of course, Wayne is not a psychological master, but the main reason is that he knows Stephenson better.

In the original history, this guy was in the Pacers, but he was tidied up by Bird.

How did you clean it up?
Just give him a slap in the face first and then reward him with a candy.

At the beginning, Finsen was also restless in the Pacers, and of course the Big Beeping Bird was not used to him, so he should be scolded and punished.

But what about after scolding and punishment?

Bird would encourage Stephenson again, telling him you can do this and you can do that.

Hearing a legend who was strict with him say this, Finsen's self-confidence immediately came up.

In the end, he broke out his own world in the NBA.

And Finsen has always respected Bird very much.

So, Wayne is just walking the old path of Bird again.

Now, let's make that guy docile.

When it's time to distribute candies, Brother Wei will be that good guy again.

Well, this is the heart control technique of the team leader~
Finsen subsided, and the atmosphere in the Blazers' locker room returned to normal.

Soon after, the preseason kicked off.

Because the Trail Blazers have more young players, the preseason is basically a stage reserved for them.

The most eye-catching performance in the preseason is undoubtedly Curry, who became popular in the United States last season because of 8 points in a single game in the playoffs.
Speaking of which, Curry has received huge criticism since entering the NBA.

Although he played well in the regular season last season, the hip stretch in the playoffs really surprised people.

And because of his thin body and whether his ankle had problems, he was quickly labeled as a glass man just like in the original history.

In the Warriors before, Curry did not receive so much attention.

Now in the Trail Blazers, under the attention of fans all over the world, the pressure on Curry is only increasing.

To be honest, it is normal for first-year rookies to not play well in the playoffs.

Wayne didn't even bother to mention a few non-stick things at the critical moment when he was nagging about playing the Jazz in the playoffs in the first grade.

After all, not everyone is like Wei Ge, FMVP as soon as he comes out, cough cough
But the fans don't care about you, until now some people still come out and say that the Blazers selected the only parallel importer among the top three picks.

Even if Griffin hasn't played an official game so far, Curry is worse than him.

Don't ask, asking is hard black without reason.

However, in today's first preseason game, Curry scored 32 points. He used the cover and directly shot a cold arrow, which made Mosaic suffer a lot.

Mosaic's starting point guard Brooks is as tall and mighty as Paoer, and he has a height disadvantage when facing Curry.

After being shot by Curry's quick shot, there is no way to defend against it.

Curry played smoothly, and the old Curry sat behind the Trail Blazers bench, showing a relieved smile.

"He works really hard, Way."

"I know, I've seen it all, Dale."

"During this period...he has been under tremendous pressure. But he is a strong kid, no matter before or now, he is very strong." Old Curry muttered, his tone was full of pride.

In the first game, Wayne played only 10 minutes, and the Blazers abused the mosaic.

In the next few games, Curry also performed very well.In addition to Curry, Matthews also played an extremely good performance.

Now Matthews' three-pointer is very stable, and his weakness in the scout report has now become his strength.

While the level of three-point shooting has greatly improved, Matthews' defense has not been lost.

This season, he will become a very terrible bench bandit.

Since there are those who perform well, there are naturally those who do not perform so well.

Tielin, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young, did not perform well in the preseason.

The three-pointer is unstable, sometimes absent, and he hesitates to make shots and makes many mistakes.

It seems that Tielin still has to go to the Development League to practice again.

Fensen also performed poorly. In the words of Director Zhang: "Fucking, it's just fighting!"

He brought the Brooklyn street style to the NBA. His moves are flamboyant, but his mistakes are also flamboyant, without heavy patterns.

If you don't know him, you must think that the Trail Blazers are participating in a charity project, signing a contract with an NT patient for one day to realize his NBA basketball dream.

His tricks on the basketball court include, but are not limited to, fancy dribbles, missed dribbles, missed dunks, layups where he had to do a fancy layup and then missed an empty layup, and pass the ball directly to Wayne on the bench.

Good guy, the Tony Clause can be renamed the Finsen Clause.

Even in his peak period, Finsen often suffers from brain twitches, let alone now.

He is one of the few men in the league who can edit a highlight with a length of more than 10 minutes.

Seeing what Finsen did on the court, Carlisle couldn't help covering his head.

In the end, the whole person is dull-eyed and suspicious of life.

Although Danny Green didn't play well, at least he was playing according to the rules, but his pure ability was almost meaningless.

This is Stephenson.
If I'm guilty, please let God punish me instead of sending a Saby like this to piss me off!

It seems that Tielin has a partner in the Development League this year.

He and Finsen might be able to come back with a Development League championship.

Well, they are simply the pioneer version of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks!

After playing a few preseason games and dealing with all those who should be delegated and cut, the Trail Blazers' roster for the new season has also been officially confirmed.

Exactly the same as last season, the center's sister-in-law, uncle Huang, and Birdman.

Power forward Wayne, Tucker, Mike Roberts.

Small forwards Wu Sheng and Matthews.

Shooting guards Tony and Dasheng, point guards Curry and Della.

Including Finsen and Green who were sent down, there are 14 people in total.

Because the lineup is the same as last season, the Trail Blazers were only ranked fourth in the combat power index before the start of the season.

It is lower than the Heat, Lakers, and Warriors, and it is still not favored.

You know, the Blazers actually played the tiebreaker with the championship Lakers last season.

The Warriors, who were kicked out by the Lakers 4-2, were ranked higher than the Blazers.

And the Big Three of the Heat didn't play an official game, and they directly ranked first in the combat power rankings.

Wayne was a little unconvinced.

No way, the Big Three of the Heat are too hot.

From the moment Mousse left the live TV broadcast until now, the media have been reporting the news of the Big Three every day.

The Big Three also played very well in the preseason. Although Wade didn't play much in the preseason due to injuries, even if he played, he only played for a few minutes to show his face.

But this is enough to make fans daydream.

When the regular season starts and the Flash returns to the team, will the Heat lose?
I'm afraid it's not about breaking the record of 72 wins!
After the ranking came out, some reporters came to ask Wayne for his opinion.

Wayne responded with one word: "Shit."

This is not a fan circle, whoever has the most traffic is the most powerful.

But it doesn't matter, whether it is a dragon or a worm, you will know right away.

In three days, the NBA regular season will start!
The league has arranged three opening games, namely Heat VS Green Kai, Clippers VS Pacers and Trail Blazers VS Lakers!

For the Heat VS Green Kai, Stern originally arranged for a battle between the old and the new Big Three.

But I didn't expect that not long before the start of the season, Harder was replaced, and the schedule was confirmed at that time.

Therefore, the drama of the battle between the old and the new Big Three has also been broken.

But it doesn't matter, even without the hard special, this is still a blockbuster matchup.

A duel between the new powers of the East and the old overlords.

Pacers VS Clippers, it is a war between young talents.

The fiery Roy is still very popular at the box office against Griffin, who people have been looking forward to for a season.

As for the Trail Blazers and Lakers, this game doesn't even need much publicity.

Last season's Western Conference semifinals, the two sides played the tie-break before deciding the winner. Many fans said that they didn't watch enough at all.

And this year's regular season competition begins with the duel between these two overlords!
The players of the Trail Blazers arrived in Los Angeles one day ahead of schedule. On both sides of the road, countless fans warmly "welcome" the arrival of the Trail Blazers.

The fans in Los Angeles held up a lot of signs, most of which said words like "We are the champions".

And some fans held up cards like "8 points in a single game" to stimulate Curry.

It seems that this 8-point stalk in a single game will follow Curry for a long time.

Wayne looked at Curry with some concern, only to find that this guy was wearing a wig and taking a selfie with Tony
Speaking of which, Wayne felt that the Blazer was getting more and more amusing.

The funny gene that Curry brought to the team has a very far-reaching impact.

In the past, only Tony and Curry were teasing, but now the situation has basically gotten out of control, and the symptoms have begun to spread to the whole team.

However, it seems that Curry is not nervous about returning to Los Angeles.

This is enough, as long as you are not afraid, you can perform!

The next day, everyone from the Trail Blazers arrived at the Staples Center very early, and everyone first had a tactical meeting in the locker room.

It is said to be a tactical meeting, but it is actually a pre-match mobilization meeting.

After all, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers are really too familiar.

Even with your eyes closed, you know what the opponent is going to do and what lineup to play.

Meanwhile, in the home locker room at Staples.

Yao Ming looked at his No. 11 jersey and was stunned for a long time.

At this moment, Chatting wearing sunglasses came in and patted Chairman Yao on the shoulder.

"Come on, let that kid Wayne go around!"

"Yeah!" Chairman Yao nodded vigorously and took out his jersey.

The last crazy performance of taking drugs has officially begun!
At 07:30 in the evening, a grand championship ring awarding ceremony was held in the Staples Center.

After getting the ring, Naga didn't smile, but stared at the Trail Blazers with a fierce face.

This ring belongs to the honor of last season.

The current battle has not yet been decided!

The Lakers are aggressive, and Wayne is not to be outdone.

He turned around and looked at his teammates: "Boys, let's show our momentum too."

Wayne, who was originally very imposing, now only felt a crow flying over his head.

I saw everyone raised their arms high, bouncing and dancing, and the group of demons danced wildly, as if they had come to a large-scale disco dance scene.

Their actions and the words "handsome" and "dominant" echo each other, or they have nothing to do with each other.

Not domineering enough, more than funny.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Do the opening dance, Brother Wei, do you want to join us?" Birdman replied while bouncing around.

"I"

Wayne was speechless, how did my domineering team become like this!
What did you do to them elementary school students! ?

This style of appearance is completely taken astray!

Before, it was sister-in-law and Wayne boxing on the sidelines.

Now, it is the elementary school students who lead everyone to fool around.

Wayne covered his head, the other side is so domineering and we are so funny
Billups: Do you now understand how I felt at the World Championships?This Curry, he is extremely contagious!

Although the appearance was a little funny, but when the game really approached, everyone returned to normal after all.

Wayne hugged Lao Ke, Chairman Yao and Suo Tai respectively.

Chatting has a serious face from the beginning to the end, and it doesn't look easy to mess with.

In the last season with Chairman Yao, he didn't want to lose more than one game.

Before the start of the game, Chatter did not forget to intimidate Curry with trash talk: "Be careful, I still won't be soft on you, Stephen."

Curry looked at the chatter, but did not respond, but was still bouncing.

Chatting is full of confidence, as long as he can contain Curry, Chairman Yao can contain his sister-in-law.

Then Wayne can only fight alone like last season!

No matter how strong you are alone, you can't compete with my determination and Yao's!

We this season are very scary!

Don't blame me for not warning you!
In the midst of everyone's attention, the game officially began.

It is rare for the sister-in-law to win the basketball from Chairman Yao's head. The duel between the two floor players is always so thrilling.

Chatting put on a posture, ready to give Curry a good look as soon as he comes on the court.

As a result, as soon as the game came up for the first attack, Chatter was pissed off.

The elementary school students are going to fight back.
