The Way of the Center

Aldridge, Leonard and Popovich are staring at the court with dull eyes at the moment, and the second team players of the Trail Blazers and Spurs are continuing the game on the court.

The game lost its suspense a minute ago. Although the Spurs were playing at home, they became the losers in the finale of the opening game.

Popovich sighed and turned to look across the field at the Blazers bench. This summer, the Trail Blazers' signings and trades made them extremely scary.

To be exact, not only the Trail Blazers, but the entire league has changed. In the future, when people recall the summer of 2017, there will definitely be a lot of topics. This summer, there is an epoch-making significance. This summer marked the multi-star cooperation model, officially sweeping the entire league!

The aged Popovich couldn't help but look up at Duncan's No. 21 jersey hanging above the dome. Myself, I really should have retired with you. In this day and age, old men like us really can't understand more and more......

The harsh electronic buzzer on the scene brought Popovich's thoughts back to reality. The game was over, and the Spurs were finally relieved...

"Let us congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers. They have won the opening game of the new season! This is undoubtedly a perfect start! And they have also shown the world through their performance in this game. Strength!" Mike Breen exclaimed excitedly on the commentary stage, with the re-intervention of the powerful force of the Blazers. The fight in the NBA this season will definitely be quite interesting.

"Hey, nice win. Ann, your last block really didn't give me face." Surrounded by reporters, Aldridge, Anger and Lillard got together again.

"Come on, LaMarcus, we were almost killed by you. If you want me to say, you are really ruthless." An Jie patted Aldridge on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. This guy, It's done well enough.

Aldridge smiled bitterly, then turned and walked towards the player tunnel. This time, the person who celebrated the victory with An Jie and the others was no longer himself.

Was my decision to leave Portland that year correct? Aldridge couldn't help but pop up such a question in his mind.

He shook his head vigorously, shaking the worry out of his mind that shouldn't have arisen. No matter what the result is, as long as you make a choice, you must stick to it!

It doesn't matter if you lose the first game. There is still a long time left for the Spurs to win this season.

""Tear City is ready to tear the league again! The Trail Blazers beat the Spurs in the opening game!""

""The Return of the King! Anjie scored 23 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks, unbeatable!"

""Paul George: Playing with Ann, I can play 120% of my strength!""

The first few days of the season were the days with the most attention, and at this hottest moment, the Portland Trail Blazers, which had been immersed in the game for two years, once again became the hottest team.

They easily killed the Spurs in the opening game, so that all fans have to pay attention to this team.

"The Trail Blazers have never declined. They just took a breath, that's all." This is what Wu Hua wrote in his column. Next, the Trail Blazers, who have woken up, will not stop their winning streak...

On October 21, Moda Center ushered in the first game of the new season. In this game, the Trail Blazers players will also wear Nike home jerseys for their official debut.

Today, the Blazers' opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers after losing Chris Paul. Although the Clippers signed the so-called "European magician" Serbian star Milos Teodosic this summer, the Los Angeles people are naive and know that this "European magician" cannot replace Paul at all.

After the game started,

Teodosic obviously has not adapted to such a fast pace of NBA games. His timing on the ball is always not timely enough, and he lacks confidence on the offensive end.

Without Paul's gossip, Griffin and Jordan didn't score for half a day.

These two guys didn't know how important the short guard was to the team until they lost Paul.

Griffin played hard, and without Paul, he would undoubtedly be the No. 1 guy on the Clippers.

However, in the face of Morris' impenetrable defense, Griffin's offense today can only be described as bad.

Angie, Paul George and Lillard joined hands again to take on the task of scoring. The three lines of center, forward and guard all have scoring points, and the Clippers can be said to be beaten helplessly.

In the second NBA game of the new season, the Trail Blazers defeated the invading Los Angeles Clippers with a score of 103 to 116.

Another big victory that was almost massacred, the iron hooves of the Trail Blazers are absolutely full of deterrence.

Everyone knows that the two-game winning streak is just an appetizer. Next, Anjie and the Trail Blazers will definitely bring a series of victories to the fans!

On October 25, the Trail Blazers played against the Nuggets at home. Jokic, a white big man from Europe, is all the Nuggets have right now. A rebuilding team versus a championship-focused team. This kind of competition, the result is often not too big a surprise.

Jokic's performance on the court is very good, especially on the offensive end. Anjie even thinks that the touch of this white big man is as good as his own.

He made throw shots, turnaround jump shots, pick baskets, layups... all of these attacking skills, Jokic showed Anjie all of them without falling.

It's just a pity that when Jokic found himself unable to move. The Chinese who is much older than himself next year is still full of vitality.

There are no surprises in this game, and one Jokic is not enough to overturn the Trail Blazers. The players worked together and made another victory at home easily!

Three consecutive victories! It's been a long time since An Jie won so happily. The silence of the past two seasons has finally ushered in a cathartic explosion!

In the next few days, the Trail Blazers defeated the Suns led by Devin Booker in a row. The Mavericks led by Harrison Barnes, an immature leader, and the Chicago Bulls, whose stars all left and had nothing.

The strong performance of the Trail Blazers in the past half month has even overshadowed the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Blazers' winning streak continues to grow, and the fans are looking forward to the next strong opponent coming soon.

Now, the fans' wait is coming to an end, and their wishes are about to come true. In this season of turmoil in the West, a low-key Eastern giant is ready to have a much-anticipated battle with the Trail Blazers at any time!

A young black guy repeats the jump shot after dribbling over and over again in the training hall. Even though he can basically hit every shot, the boy's hard work has not diminished at all.

This year is the first time he has become the core of a team after he matured, to launch an impact towards the O'Brien Cup. Although he has won the O'Brien Cup once, it is the first time he has done this as a team leader.

The team is doing really well right now, and he seems to fit in perfectly with the team. But the boy knew that now was not the time to be happy. Two days later, the game against the Portland Trail Blazers was the real highlight!

That game will be a test of his own ability and a test of this brand new team.

How far are they from the O'Brien Cup? Is he a qualified leader? The answers to all these questions will be answered in that game.

"Don't leave yet, boy!" The stadium security guard who was in charge of locking the door pushed open the gate of the training ground, only to find that the young man was still training profusely with sweat.

"Put the key there, and I'll lock the door for you when I leave." The young man hugged the basketball, showing his white teeth and laughing loudly.

"Pay attention to your body, we need you to persevere until the end this year." The security guard threw the key over, and the young man caught the key firmly, then turned around again and started the emergency stop jump shot training.

Security didn't know whether the series of changes in the team this summer were good or bad. After all, the last leader of this team didn't do a bad job.

But the aggressiveness and attitude of the young man in the training hall at least gave him hope.

Maybe this guy can really do better than his predecessor?

The black guy in the dark green training jersey is still sweating. The Blazers and Anjie are his best chances to prove himself!

The name on the back of this guy's jersey has been completely soaked in sweat. But you can still clearly see those letters - "Irving"!

As the new leader of the Celtics after Thomas Jr., Kyrie Irving has no intention of letting the Trail Blazers continue to pass easily.

Another collision between two superteams, no wonder fans are so excited... 89
