374: Legion of Bad Boys, Anxious Old Thieves (4.2K(1/2)
When the training camps of each team were in full swing, two major events happened in the NBA.
First, the history of the Seattle Supersonics was suddenly over.
Thunder's new owner Bennett brought the team to where Wayne's basketball dream began, Oklahoma State, and renamed the team to the Thunder.
He left everything in Seattle with the name of the supersonics, the team logo and the color.
Therefore, this new Thunder team looks like it has nothing to do with the previous Supersonics.
Wayne's former teammate Payton angrily yelled: "This is a stupid behavior. I will not admit that the Thunder and the Supersonics have an inheritance relationship. I look forward to Seattle being able to re-owned its Supersonics one day!"
Well, Payton's mood is not difficult to understand.
You have dedicated all your peak period to a team and devoted your entire life to it.
As a result, my eyes closed and the team disappeared, and it turned into a brand new team that seemed to have no relationship with the parent team.
Who can accept this?
Payton is still very affectionate about Supersonics and Seattle.
But the Oklahoma City Thunder...
What's this thing!
Well, now, the Thunder are a strange team that has no sense of belonging to everyone.
It is normal to be rejected.
After all, the Supersonics have had so many years of history in the NBA, and it cannot be completely replaced by the Thunder in just a few strokes.
Of course, Wayne knew that this team would become a powerful team in no time.
In the future, its existence will make the Supersonics even less present.
The second major event, to be precise, is only a major event for Chinese fans - UAE transfers.
The fact that Ali-United Nations joined the Bucks was the result of both sides' reluctance.
After a year of trying to fall in love before marriage, the Bucks found that Alien was not the kind of player they were looking for.
What they are looking for is a big shot like Wayne who can bring qualitative changes to the team.
Although Alien has potential and plays quite well in the Olympics, their performance in the rookie year is of a different level.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yi Jianlian is not a little Wayne.
The Bucks don't want to wait any longer, they don't want to become the next Warrior.
So, just one year later, Alien was packaged and sent to the Nets.
This incident has caused a lot of controversy in the country, and its popularity is no less than Yao Ming's transfer to the Lakers and Wayne's transfer to the Trail Blazers.
But if you calm down and look at it, say something in your heart.
This transfer is not at the same level as Yao Ming and Wayne's original transfer...
The transfer between Yao Ming and Wayne completely disrupted the league structure.
After completing the transaction, the Nets immediately launched an advertisement for selling tickets on their official website, and Alien became the protagonist of the advertisement.
Well, it can be seen that the Nets still attach great importance to the arrival of UAE. First of all, UAE is still strong, and... it is still a box office guarantee!
So, after the transaction was concluded, Wayne immediately called Ah Lian, asking him to keep a normal mind and play well, and not to worry too much about the voices of the outside world.
In Wayne's previous life, Ah Lian also had an impact on him because the attention he received was far greater than his strength.
Now in the country? Those experts have started to analyze this and that.
Some people say that the Bucks were blind? They let the Olympic champion go and listed various brainless transactions in the history of the Bucks? This proves that they were stupid to let Yi Jianlian go.
Some people say? Let's just ban the bucks, you are unkind and I am unrighteous.
To be honest, what's the point of analyzing these?
This is just a very ordinary transaction? Both parties take their needs, and there is no way to abandon or not.
It’s just that Chinese fans have increased the weight of this matter by themselves.
But it doesn't matter if the fans think so? Alian himself can't think so.
This is an ordinary deal? Keeping a normal mind and playing well is more important than anything else.
UAE also accepted Wayne's suggestion, but has not accepted any media interviews during this period? Focus on preparing for the new season.
Big brother of the national team? I'm so worried.
To comfort Ah Lian, Wayne himself has to work on his own training.
Fortunately, Wayne was very happy when the Trail Blazers' pre-season training camp this time.
This year's Trail Blazers' pre-season training camp can be said to be very distinctive.
Almost every day? There are shouts such as "Oh, oh, be gentle" and "You hurt me" on the training ground.
The arrival of Sir Ba made the entire team more rough as the 1990s.
Hum? Wayne thought Barkley would make the back-to-back skills of Jordan Jr. and Birdman.
As it turns out, Wayne is just thinking too much.
These two guys have not seen any improvement in their back-on skills now? The elbows are blacker than the other.
Especially Birdman? I just enjoy it.
Just look at the bruises on Jordan's body? Once, when I was interviewed by a reporter, Jordan happened to be shirtless.
So the reporter asked Jordan a question that made him swear on the spot: "Dandrew, what is the meaning of your new tattoo?"
Jordan Jr.:???
Where did I get my new tattoo?
When I looked down, I realized that my body was blue and purple, and I was treated as a tattoo.
Well, who is the most talented person in this training hall? It's Wayne.
Who is the biggest person on the butt? It's Barkley.
But who is the worst? It can only be him Jordan Jr.
Oh, and Tony.
Tony was not too elbowed, but his poor offensive skills really made everyone laugh.
People were very surprised, how could this guy's offense be so bad!
There is basically nothing else except cutting into the cake.
Shooting is a problem with letting him take two steps, the entire defender version of Mousse.
Mousse: I'm sure three points now, we're different!
So every time Tony missed the shot, everyone would laugh and tease, "You're ten more today!"
At first, Tony's cheeks turned red when he heard this.
But later someone joked, and Tony just smiled slightly: "The thing about the defender... how can it be called a blacksmith? I play an important role in the ball rights converter!"
Tony is crazily teased every day, but he is open-minded by nature not only is he not angry, but he also created a "Tony clause" in the team.
In the next season, anyone who shoots three shots or fails to make a sky-high basket will be fined $1,000!
All fines are included in Wayne, and you can take them out after the season is over.
The reason why this clause was introduced was because Tony did not touch the three and did not go into the sky basket...
So, he teased himself and made you have no troubles to vomit!
Don't say it, this has really greatly improved everyone's concentration on the offensive end.
Those positive parts of Tony's character, his enthusiasm, and his optimism, made the team have a wonderful chemistry.
So, although Jordan was elbowed every day, and Tony was criticized every day, and everyone fought fiercely in the training matches.
But Carlisle was surprised to find that the team's chemistry was extremely good!
At first, Carlisle was worried that a major personnel change this summer would cause the team to get into trouble.
But now it seems that he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
In this way, everyone from the Trail Blazers entered the preseason battle.
Then, Jordan Jr. was delighted to find that he finally didn't have to suffer anymore.
The suffering became the players of other teams.
Every team that plays against the Trail Blazers is in a miserable way. The league feels the oppression that this team brings to them for the first time.
In the first game of the preseason, the Trail Blazers played against the Timberwolves, and Mayo and the Emperor felt what it means to play a ball while fighting.
"Chris Anderson completed the block very roughly. We haven't seen this guy on the court for a long time. But he is still full of gay feelings like a few years ago."
Anderson roared on the court, and Mayo, who was lying on the ground, felt very confused.
