Chapter 616 Chapter 613: Too much greed is invalidated, Portland's first deduction will be involved! (6.6K begging tickets)
The deal between the Thunder and Mosaic led to the birth of the last team to participate in the three-peat blocking battle in the 12-13 season.

The Thunder's first opponent after completing the transaction is precisely the defending champion Trail Blazers.

Joke Although he is very angry at the Thunder's decision to trade away Harden for a mere 600 million, at least the enthusiasm for the opening game is not falling but rising.

The fans really wanted to see what level the Thunder would be without Harden.

Generally speaking, the opening game arranged in the first year after Joke took full power was relatively successful.

As the day of the opening game draws closer, major TV stations have also released their new season preview programs.

ESPN, the day before the start of the new season, invited Pat Riley to talk about the situation of the new season.

Of course, the main thing is to talk about whether the Blazers have the possibility of three consecutive championships.

As an old Jiang Hu, Riley will naturally use various methods to benefit himself.

Therefore, at this point before the start of the opening game, he deliberately said: "I admire the Trail Blazers. They are one of the most successful teams in the 21st century. But in my opinion, it is not easy for the Trail Blazers to achieve the goal of three consecutive championships."

"I'm not going to talk about clichés like injuries, of course injuries are a factor, but injuries are a risk for all 30 teams in the league, not just the defending champions.

The biggest problem that the defending champion needs to face now is greediness!

The Trail Blazers players have won the championship for two consecutive years.Some of these players, Gasol, Tony Allen, etc., even hold several championship rings.

But after the championship season, some of them still can only stay in the corner and shoot open three-pointers, repeating pick-and-rolls, open three-pointers every day, and giving the spotlight to another person.

In this way, can they still maintain the concentration they had when they hit the championship twice?
Will they still find it fun, exciting and honorable to see the same faces playing 82 games together every day?

After a team wins a championship one year, all players want more time, more money, more status or more shots.

The role player has a sense of participation and honor in the process of winning the championship, and he will feel that he is indispensable in these championships.

In turn, they will be presumptuous in certain things, do not know what is good or bad, and challenge the locker room atmosphere and chemical reactions that have been worked so hard to establish.

He may want to be on his own and create his own championship era.

He may think that he has won enough championships, and maybe he should continue his career in a different way.

These will drag the team down a little bit.

It is very difficult to make players unselfish, and the path to victory will be complicated by statistics, which in turn can bring benefits to players.

Everyone has their own ideas and desires. This is the gluttony of the championship team, which is an inevitable problem for all championship teams in history.

The difficulty of three consecutive championships is precisely here! "

Riley analyzed it for a while, as if the Blazers had already had many conflicts within the team.

That's right, he just wants to shape this atmosphere, that is, to let the players of the Trail Blazers hear his voice.

Players who didn't have such thoughts at first may really start to think wildly after being bewitched by Riley.

The reason why Kobe and O'Neal had such a fierce fight at the beginning was that apart from the fact that the two did not deal with each other, the fueling of the media was also one of the reasons for their breakup.

Riley is going to use this opportunity to mess up the Trail Blazers locker room!

After what he said today, any disturbance in the Trail Blazers will be reported by the media.

Therefore, Riley will not miss any opportunity to benefit himself.

Even if he is only invited to appear on a TV show, he has a strong sense of purpose.

This is Pat Riley, the only man in NBA history who can lead his team to championships as a player, head coach and general manager.

If he has no means, can he do this?
Wayne, who was watching TV, admitted that what Riley said actually made sense.

Whether it was before or now, "greedy" does exist.

The last championship of the Bulls Dynasty in 98, the Bulls are also full of contradictions.

Pippen, Rodman, Zen Master, etc., all have conflicts with the team.

In Wayne's previous life, basketball in the 21st century, such examples are not uncommon.

After Chalmers won two championships, he dared to challenge James.

After Dream Chasing won the float, he dared to anger Durant and came up with the classic Green formula.

Even someone like McCaw dared to get into trouble with his home team, complaining about too little playing time and leaving Toronto.

What's even more annoying is that McCaw went to Toronto and won the championship again.
Too much greed, this is indeed a stumbling block on the road to consecutive championships.

Riley's theory is indeed tenable. Although he is playing evil, but playing evil is also divided into ranks.

Riley is at the level of a king, and you really can't refute his theory.

In this regard, Joke is a bronze compared to Riley at best.

After the show, Wayne went to tell his daughter a bedtime story.

When it was over, the daughter said: "Dad, I have loved you for 1 years."

After Wayne walked out of the room, he was extremely embarrassed in front of Sharapova: "She said she loved me for 1 years, and I bet you only have 100 or 200 years at most."

Sharapova stared at Wayne speechlessly, if it wasn't for the fact that the old lady was pregnant, it would be over if I let you go tonight.

You forgot how exciting life was in 996 some time ago, right?
After coaxing my daughter and mocking my wife by the way, almost 10 minutes passed.

Wayne then turned on his phone and looked online.

Unsurprisingly, 20 minutes after the show ended, there was already a lot of chatter about the Blazers' locker room.

"Riley is right. I think Stephenson is definitely not satisfied with the role of a substitute! Just like him, there must be trouble! After all, he played very well in the finals last season, and he may not be so honest this year."

"Curry has already received a maximum salary, and he can be regarded as a first-tier star in the league. But in fact, he hasn't even made an All-Star game, and he hasn't even made it to the bench.

So you said, as a top-paid star, doesn't he want to be an All-Star to prove himself?But if the data can't come up, the All-Stars won't be able to start.

For the sake of data, would he still support Wayne so honestly? "

"The departure of Dragic and Jordan Jr. is proof. In fact, the Blazers have been facing similar problems over the years."

In addition to fans, many media have also started to add fuel to the flames for traffic.

Various articles are analyzing the possible internal contradictions of the Trail Blazers.

For a while, the entire public opinion was biased by Riley.

Just create an atmosphere that looks like the Blazers are going to fall apart tomorrow.

Looking at the lively scene, Wayne couldn't help feeling that Riley had so many means.

There are 30 teams in the league, and it is estimated that only Riley can think of using this method to engage the Blazers.

It is worthy of being a vicious person with the same reputation as Angie.

but
Wayne is not a fool, but he has thought about the current situation several years in advance.

Don't forget, the original intention of the Blazers to choose Curry was to have a longer championship window and to establish a dynasty!

What Riley said will happen to most championship teams, but it will not happen to the Trail Blazers alone.

Why did you choose Curry in the first place?In addition to Curry being more likely, it is also because of Curry's character that he is doomed not to make any trouble at this time.

What is Curry like?

When the original history first entered the league, Ellis publicly declared that he did not want to play with him.

He didn't make a sound, but relied on his outstanding ability and took up the big responsibility when Ellis was away, which made the Warriors' management look different.

Later, Ellis and Curry often did charity together. On Ellis's birthday, Curry was forced to sing a song. When Ellis got married, he only invited two Warriors teammates, one of which was Curry.

He doesn't fight or grab, and then turns you into a funny guy, completely assimilating you!
Wayne has already experienced Curry's ability in this area.

The Trail Blazers have become like this, and Curry has to take full responsibility.

Another one, did Curry say anything when Durant came?Was Curry upset when Durant won the FMVP?
Even if there was, he wouldn't say it.

Durant has been in the Warriors for so many years, and it has never been revealed that he has any conflicts with Curry.

If the team of a certain stingy Mamba suddenly came to replace him as the core of his tactics, he would say that Shaq did it too.

The Warriors locker room has never exposed rumors of who is at odds with Curry, which is inseparable from Curry's own friendliness, generosity, and sincerity.

So, Curry will have conflicts with his father Wei because of an All-Star?
Totally impossible!
If Evans, who was more powerful in immediate combat, had been selected in the first place, Wayne would not dare to guarantee it.But Curry, he is definitely an emotionally stable player.

Besides, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is the best second-to-third master, with a gentle personality.

When Yuan Shi was around Nao Ke, Nao Ke would often turn on the one-on-one mode when his brain got hot, and his sister-in-law never complained.

He left the Lakers mainly because the Lakers put one of his championship heroes on the shelf every three days, and he really couldn't stand it.

On Tony's side, after all, he and Wayne are brothers who have been sworn in since college.Even if he is on the bench, even if his salary is cut, he is willing to play with Wayne on the first team.

Besides Stephenson, if he dared to confront Wayne like Chalmers confronted James, Wayne promised that he would break Finson's ribs.

Finsen: I dare to hate Zhan Huang, dare to challenge the referee, and I will do it if I refuse to accept it.But give me ten guts, I wouldn't dare to jump in front of Brother Wei even if I stepped on a horse!

After all, he was someone who was dealt with by Wayne on the first day he entered the league. He knew that if Wayne could do something, he wouldn't reason with you.

Hooligans are afraid of encountering more hooligans than themselves.

Another one, although Finsen is playing as a substitute, after Dragic left this season, he has been promoted to the team's sixth man, and he can control the ball as he likes during the rotation time.

Compared with last season, his tactical status has indeed risen a lot.

In this regard, Finsen is also very satisfied.

After all, more than a year ago, he was still playing around in the Development League.

Others, Green, Thompson, Matthews, etc., Green only played in the NBA last season, so there is no lack of fighting spirit.

Matthews fought from a second-round pick to the championship team's starter, relying on his iron-blooded and tough style and his never-give-up personality.

He only got a solid start last season, but he won't get bored after just playing for a year.

Not to mention Thompson, he didn't play well last season, and he has the opportunity to enter the main rotation this season, let alone any slack.

Jiba and Thompson are the same. Tucker's playing time is relatively stable, and Birdman also has a clear understanding of his abilities.

Looking at it this way, the Trail Blazers' locker room couldn't be more stable!

Although the Blazers' lineup has not changed much in the past three years, the tactical status of most role players is constantly improving.

In the past, Matthews could only follow Tony and Sun Yue, but he started last year.

Green was still playing in the Development League before, but he entered the main rotation last year.

And those whose status cannot go further, such as Tony, sister-in-law and Curry, their personalities are destined not to destroy the chemical reaction.

Therefore, although the Blazers have won two consecutive championships, the players on this team are still high-spirited and united.

From the moment of building the team and selecting players, Wayne has fundamentally eliminated the problem of greed!
Riley thought he was on the sixth floor, but Wayne was actually on the eighth floor!

Therefore, looking at the current rhythm that is completely deviated by Riley, Wayne is not panicked at all.

You can do whatever you want, if you can ruin the Blazers, I will lose!

But then again, Riley is really vicious.

In order for the Big Three of the Heat to win the championship, even this kind of off-the-box trick was used.

It's also thanks to the Blazers. If they want to switch to another team, the locker room won't be filled with smog by Riley?

That being the case, then I can't let you do what you want.

The Big Three of the Heat in this history are bound to be a complete failure!

On October 2012, 10, the NBA opener officially started.

This season, the league has arranged a total of three opening games, namely Lakers VS Mavericks, Wizards VS Cavaliers and Trail Blazers VS Thunder!

Don't ask why the other two games don't seem to be very attractive, just ask the fans to focus on the Blazers and Thunder.

In order to praise Thunder, the jokes are also painstaking.

Therefore, the first two games of the opening game received very average attention.

The game where the Wizards played the Cavaliers turned into a joke.

The original intention of the league was to hope that the pair of No. [-] point guards, Wall and Irving, would have a wonderful confrontation.

But because of Wall's accidental injury, this game became Irving's one-man show.

Without Wall's Wizards, Jordan Crawford, the team's highest scorer, scored only 11 points, and everyone else's scores were in single digits. The Cavaliers eventually easily defeated the Wizards.

All the fans complained that this may be the most boring NBA opener in the past ten years.

Invisibly, it also raised people's expectations for the Thunder VS Trail Blazers game.

At this time in the Blazers locker room, Wayne had already changed his clothes and began to mobilize before the game.

It is said to be mobilization before the game, but in fact there is no need to say anything at all.

Today is the day when the Blazers raise the new championship pennant and issue the new championship ring.

So Wayne just needs to say, "Don't let the Oklahomaians ruin our night," and all the youngsters rush into the arena screaming.

Both my sister-in-law and Tony could hear the calluses in this set of rhetoric.

But there is no way, young players are just like this.

On the other hand, the chicken soup tycoon Brooks did not hesitate: "Go to the court and tell the defending champion that we are different from last year! We have experienced unforgettable failures, and now we will be reborn from the ashes!"

Watching the Thunder players get excited one by one, Brooks smiled with satisfaction.

Fortunately, old man, I usually watch a lot of movies, so I can easily understand these little words.

As expected of Brooks, both styles bloom!
After the warm-up of the players on both sides, the Trail Blazers soon began the awarding ceremony of the championship ring.

Last season, the Trail Blazers' championship ring had two Chinese characters "sacrifice" engraved on it.

And this year's championship ring is also full of Chinese elements, with the word "unity" engraved on the side.

For next year's championship ring, Wayne is wondering if he can make a suggestion, engrave "Diaobo" or "Liu beep" on it.

That is the down-to-earth Chinese element~
Watching the Blazers awarding the championship ring again, Jazz couldn't help complaining: "Every year, Paul Allen spends more money than the owners of other teams just to get the championship ring. Hey, he must be very distressed."

Old Versailles Flying Pigs.

Allen said, is this money worth it?Rich people have to give out rings!

When Wayne got the ring that belonged to him, Hardt cast an envious look, stretched his neck and looked sideways.

Well, Harder is the only player on the Trail Blazers who participated in the championship ring award ceremony this year, but did not have a ring to receive.

Middleton?Middleton was thrown to the Development League for leveling before the start of the season, and he couldn't participate in such high-level activities at all.

So the lonely hard special feels very awkward, I really want to have it, I really want to get it!

Wayne felt that Harder was staring at him, so he turned to look at Old Wolf.

Seeing this, the old wolf immediately withdrew his gaze, pretending to look straight ahead, and put on a disdainful expression.

As if to say: "Tch, isn't it just a championship ring, like no one has seen it before."

Although he pretended not to care, Wayne still saw through the old wolf's mind.So, Wayne handed the championship ring to Hardett.

"Kevin, want to touch my trophy...my ring?"

"I don't want it!" Lao Lang replied proudly.

"Oh, just take a look."

"Hmph, since you've said that, I'll take a look at it." After finishing speaking, he took the ring from Wayne's hand, excitedly held it in his hand, and faced the light above his head.

so shiny~
After so many years of hard work, it's just for this thing.

At this time next year, I will definitely have my own championship ring!
A smile could not help but appear on the old wolf's face.

At this time, he became more energetic.

"No matter who it is, don't try to stop the Blazers from winning three consecutive championships!" Hardt shouted in his heart.

This is called mastering the heart of a star player~
Is Hardt still Hardt?
Not any more.

He is a wild wolf now!

In order for the Blazers to achieve the goal of three consecutive championships, he is willing to go through fire and water.

After the championship ring presentation ceremony, Du Xiaoshuai frowned and stepped onto the court, ready to fight at any time.

This summer, Du Xiaoshuai has further enriched his arsenal, and he has done better in offense with the ball than before.

In order to be able to step over Wayne, Du Xiaoshuai sweated a lot.Not long after returning from the Olympics, Du Xiaoshuai started private training in Los Angeles, which was like a vacation.

In order to surpass Wayne, he didn't even like the young model lady during that time!

What a firm determination!

Durant thought to himself that the gap between himself and Wayne was getting smaller and smaller.

After all, Wayne is almost 30 years old, it is impossible for him to improve, he has already touched his own ceiling.

And I, Du Xiaoshuai, am still growing up!
If Wayne knew that Du Xiaoshuai thought so, he would definitely die laughing.

You are still young.

When did my growth of Gao Dewei stop?

Yesterday, before the start of the season, Wayne exchanged all the honors he won last season for bonus points, and used up all 40 honor exchange opportunities.

Counting that it has been used 10 times before, Wayne still has 30 chances to add points before the next upgrade!
So last night, Wayne used the only remaining growth points in his hand to increase his interference shots from 70 to 80!

Wayne used to mainly rely on his height and wingspan and the bonus effects of various badges to fight match-fixing.

And now directly adding the attribute of shooting in interference to 80, there is no doubt that Wayne will be more free on the offensive end.

Really just a sentence: "Defend as you like, if you don't make a shot, I will lose!"

Don't look at you, Brother Wei, who is about to enter his thirties, but his growth speed is still not slower than your young ones~
Before the start of the game, the funny contestants who had been holding back for an offseason turned the Rose Garden into a large-scale dance scene for killing Matt.

With elementary school students as the mainstay and Finsen as the assistant, the Rose Garden was abruptly turned into a Rose Flower Village.

On the left, all the funny people are dancing.On the right, Hard Te Ka Ka is hitting his head on a basketball hoop.

Wayne was caught in the middle, expressing that his skull was hurting.

孽 孽!
Fortunately, when the referee made the starting players of both sides ready, the funny players returned to normal, and the hard special finally let go of the basketball hoop.

The starting lineups of the Thunder and Trail Blazers have not changed from last season, and the opponents are still Turtle, Sefoloza, Durant, Ibaka and Perkins.

The Blazers are still Curry, Tony, Matthews, Wayne and Gasol.

But in fact, the collusion of the two teams has changed to a certain extent.

As soon as the game started, Turtlesbrook played a pick-and-roll with Durant-this is a new tactic Brooks studied.

Last season, Durant rarely participated in the pick-and-roll.

But this season, Du Xiaoshuai and Gui Shao will cooperate even more closely.

Turtle broke into the inside with a cover and scored a layup under Gasol's defense.

In the 12-13 season, the Thunder ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency.

And the Thunder is a team whose offensive system is not so perfect, and the offense relies heavily on individual abilities.

To put it bluntly, the talents of Durant and Gui Shao are enough for the Thunder to be the number one offensive player!
There are few turtles this season, which is rare in his career and has a relatively high efficiency season.

From this attack, we can see the change of Mr. Turtle.

In the past, he would definitely have pissed off his sister-in-law directly. Is it necessary to beat around the bush?
But this season, he knows how to dodge in the air and knows how to pull the lever.

But who would have thought that he could change back again in the future?
Turtlesbrook took the lead for the Thunder, and then when the Blazers attacked, Wayne had just received the basketball and was directly double-teamed by Sefoloza and Ibaka!

That's right, on the first offense of the first game of the new season, Wayne was double-teamed...

Wayne is convinced, Brooks, how afraid are you of me?
Brooks: Don't you know what you've done to me?Beast!

Just as Wayne got caught, the schoolboy got rid of Turtlesbrook and cut inside.

Mr. Turtle is chasing after him, and if he passes the ball directly, it is likely to be intercepted.

Thus, Wayne suddenly had a bold idea - he chose to throw the ball into the air directly!
Seeing this situation, Curry suddenly had strength in his legs.

Brother Wei really still trusts my dunk ability!

Well, show your ugliness!

I saw Curry jump up suddenly, catch the basketball with both hands in the air, and then smash the ball directly into the frame-Curry dunks with both hands!
"I wipe!" Looking at Curry hanging on the basket, Wayne was shocked.

He originally wanted to catch Curry for a layup, but he didn't expect Curry to dunk it directly.

Really. Portland Carter!
Even Curry made an empty dunk, Ye Qingjie!
Turtlesbrook couldn't have imagined that one day, he would be detained by Curry.

What a shame!
But on the other hand, it can also be seen that after receiving the maximum salary, Curry has become more confident.

Yes, Curry in the 12-13 season has begun to move closer to the sun.

In addition, Wayne urged Curry to change his power posture and shooting movements a few years in advance, so this year's Curry should almost become a full body.

Thinking of this, Wayne sighed.

It's over, I will be guarded by Curry again today.
