I am Really an Insider

The transaction between the Thunder and Mosaic gave birth to the last team to participate in the three consecutive championships in the 12-13 season.

The Thunder's first opponent after completing the transaction happened to be the defending champion Trail Blazers.

The joke is that although I am very angry about the Thunder's decision to trade Harden for a mere 6 million, at least the popularity of the opening game is now rising instead of falling.

Fans want to see what the Thunder will be like without Harden.

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

As the start of the opening game approaches, all major TV stations have also released their preview programs for the new season.

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 discussion is whether the Blazers have the possibility of winning three consecutive championships.

As a veteran, Riley will naturally use various methods to benefit himself.

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

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

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

The players of the Trail Blazers 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 their players can still only stay silently in the corner and hit open three-pointers, repeating pick-and-rolls and open three-pointers every day, giving the spotlight to another person.

In this way, can they still maintain the focus they had during the first two championships?

Do they still find it interesting, passionate and honorable to see the same faces every day and play 82 games together?

After a team wins the championship in a certain year, all players will want more time, more money, higher status or more shots.

Role players have a sense of participation and honor in the process of winning the championship, and they will feel that they are indispensable in these championships.

Then they will be arrogant and unscrupulous in certain things, challenging the atmosphere and chemistry of the locker room that they have worked so hard to establish.

He may want to stand alone and create his own championship era.

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

These will drag down the team a little bit.

It's hard to get players to be unselfish, and the path to victory is complicated by data that can benefit players.

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

The difficulty of winning three consecutive championships lies precisely in this! "

Riley analyzed it for a moment, making it sound as if there were already many conflicts within the Trail Blazers.

Yes, he wants to create this atmosphere and let the Trail Blazers players hear their voices.

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

The reason why Kobe and O'Neal had such a violent quarrel was that in addition to the fact that the two did not deal with each other, the media's fueling of the situation was also one of the reasons for their breakup.

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

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

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

Even if he is just invited to appear on a TV show, he has a strong 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.

How could he do this if he didn't have any means?

Wayne, who was watching TV, admitted that what Riley said actually made sense.

Whether it was before or now, "greed for too much" does exist.

In 1998, the last championship of the Bulls dynasty, the Bulls were also full of internal conflicts.

Pippen, Rodman, Jackson, etc. all have conflicts with the team in one way or another.

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

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

After chasing dreams and winning, they dared to angrily criticize Durant and use the classic Green formula.

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

What's even more annoying is that McCaw went to Toronto and actually won the championship again.

Greed and excess are indeed a stumbling block on the road to consecutive championships.

Riley's theory is indeed tenable. Although he is being evil, there are levels of evil.

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

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

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

After that, my daughter said: "Dad, I love you for ten thousand years."

After Wayne walked out of the room, he was extremely embarrassed in front of Sharapova: "She said she would love me for ten thousand years, but I bet you only have one hundred or two hundred years at most."

Sharapova glared at Wayne speechlessly. If my mother hadn't been pregnant, it would have been over tonight if I had let you go.

Have you forgotten how exciting life was in 996 some time ago?

After coaxing my daughter and mocking my wife, almost twenty minutes passed.

Wayne then turned on his phone and looked online.

As expected, 20 minutes after the show ended, a lot of people were already discussing the issues in the Trail Blazers' locker room.

"What Riley said makes sense. I think Stephenson is definitely not satisfied with the substitute role! With his behavior, he must make 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 the maximum salary and can be considered a first-tier star in the league. But in fact, he has not even made it to the All-Star Game, not even to the bench.

So you said, as a top-paid star, doesn't he want to prove himself by making it to the All-Stars? But if the data can't rise, there will be no way to start the All-Stars.

For the sake of data, will he still provide assistance to Wayne so honestly? "

"The previous departures of Dragic and DeAndre Jordan are proof that the Blazers have actually been facing similar problems in recent years."

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

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

For a time, the entire public opinion was led astray by Riley.

It creates an atmosphere as if the Trail Blazers are going to fall apart tomorrow.

Wayne looked at this lively scene and couldn't help but marvel at Riley's many tricks.

Of the 30 teams in the league, it is estimated that only Riley can think of using this method to deal with the Trail Blazers.

He is worthy of being as vicious as Anji.

but

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

Don't forget, the original intention of the Trail Blazers in selecting Curry was to have a longer winning window and to establish a dynasty!

What Riley said would happen to most championship teams, but not to the Trail Blazers.

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 destined not to cause trouble at this time.

What is Curry’s personality?

In the original history, when he first entered the league, Ellis openly declared that he did not want to play with him.

He didn't say anything, but relied on his outstanding ability and shouldered the heavy responsibility when Ellis was away, which made the Warriors management look at him with admiration.

Later, Ellis and Curry often did charity work together. Curry teased and sang on Ellis's birthday. When Ellis got married, he only invited two Warriors teammates, one of whom was Curry.

He won't fight or grab you, and then he will turn you into a funny guy and completely assimilate you!

Wayne has already experienced Curry's ability in this area.

Curry has full responsibility for what the Trail Blazers have become now.

Another one, did Curry say anything when Durant came? Was Curry unhappy when Durant won the Finals MVP?

Even if there was, he wouldn't say anything.

In all the years Durant has been with the Warriors, there has never been any conflict with Curry.

If a certain stingy Mamba's team suddenly comes to take over his position as the core of tactics, he will have to say a word about Shaq to do it.

There have never been rumors of quarrels with Curry in the Warriors locker room. This is inseparable from Curry's own friendliness, generosity, and sincerity in treating others.

So, Curry will have a conflict with his dad Wei Wei over an All-Star?

Totally impossible!

If Evans, who was stronger in immediate combat, had been chosen, Wayne would not have dared to vote for it. But Curry, he is definitely an emotionally stable player.

Let’s talk about sister-in-law, a top-notch second- and third-level boss like sister-in-law, with a gentle personality by nature.

It turns out that when I was around Nakai, I would often turn on the one-on-five mode when my brain got hot, and my sister-in-law never complained.

He left the Lakers mainly because the Lakers put him on the shelf as a champion of the championship every day, and he couldn't stand it.

As for Tony, after all, he and Wayne were brothers who had been around since college. Even if he plays as a substitute, even if his salary is reduced, he is still willing to play on the same team with Wayne.

Speaking of Stephenson, if he dares to contradict Wayne like Chalmers contradicted James, Wayne promises that he will break a few ribs from Finson.

Finson: I dare to confront James and challenge the referee. I will do it if I don’t accept it. But give me ten courages, and I wouldn’t dare to jump in front of Brother Wei even if I were riding a horse!

After all, he is someone who was dealt with by Wayne on the first day he entered the league. He knows that Wayne will not reason with you if he can take action.

Rogues are afraid of meeting someone more rogue than themselves.

Furthermore, although Finsen plays as a substitute, after Dragic left this season, he has been promoted to the team's sixth man. During the rotation, he can dominate the ball as he pleases.

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

Fensen is already very satisfied with this.

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

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

Matthews went from being a second-round pick to starting on a championship team because of his tough style and never-give-up personality.

He only became a starter last season, but he won't get bored after just one year of starting.

Let's not talk about Thompson. He didn't play well last season. He has a chance to enter the main rotation this season, and he has no intention of slacking off.

Jiba and Thompson are the same. Tucker's playing time is relatively stable, and the 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 Trail Blazers' lineup has not changed much in the past three years, the tactical status of most role players has continued to improve.

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

Green was still playing in the Development League before, but ended up entering the main rotation last year.

As for those whose status cannot go any further, such as Tony, sister-in-law and Curry, their personalities dictate that they will not destroy the chemical reaction.

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

From the very beginning of team building and personnel selection, Wayne has fundamentally eliminated the problem of gluttony!

Riley thought he was on the sixth floor, but Wayne was actually on the eighth floor!

Therefore, looking at the current rhythm that was completely led away by Riley, Wayne was not panicked at all.

No matter what you do, if you can make the Trail Blazers miserable, I will lose!

But then again, Riley is really vicious.

In order for the Heat's Big Three to win the championship, even this kind of off-board tactics were used.

Thanks to the Trail Blazers. If it were another team, the locker room wouldn't be in a mess because of Riley?

In this case, I can't let you get your wish.

The Big Three of the Heat in history will definitely fail completely!

On October 30, 2012, the NBA opening game 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 because they want fans to focus on the Trail Blazers and Thunder.

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

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

The game between the Wizards and the Cavaliers turned into a joke.

The league's original intention was to have a wonderful showdown between the No. 1 point guards, Wall and Irving.

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

For the Wizards without Wall, Jordan Crawford, the team's top scorer, only had 11 points, and everyone else's scores were in single digits. The Cavaliers easily defeated the Wizards in the end.

All fans complained that this might be the most boring NBA opener in the past decade.

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

At this time, in the Trail Blazers' locker room, Wayne had already changed his clothes and started to do pre-game mobilization.

It was said to be a pre-game mobilization, but in fact there was no need to say anything at all.

Today is the day when the Trail Blazers raise a new championship banner and issue a new championship ring.

Therefore, all Wayne had to say was, "Don't let the Oklahomans mess up our night," to have the youngsters rush onto the field screaming.

Both my sister-in-law and Tony's ears were ringing with this rhetoric.

But there is no way, young players just do this.

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

Seeing the Thunder players getting excited one by one, Brooks smiled with satisfaction.

Fortunately, I watch a lot of movies, so I know these little words easily.

As expected of Brooks, both style and style are blooming!

After the players from both sides finished warming up, the Trail Blazers soon began the championship ring awarding ceremony.

Last season, the Trail Blazers' championship ring was engraved with the Chinese characters "sacrifice".

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 was wondering if he could suggest engraving " Moubaku" or "Liu Biao" on it.

That’s what we call down-to-earth Chinese elements~

Seeing the Trail Blazers awarding championship rings again, Jazz couldn't help complaining: "Every year, Paul Allen spends more money to give out championship rings than the owners of other teams. Hey, he must be It must be very distressing.”

The old Versailles has become a flying pig.

Allen said, does this amount of money count? Rich people should be given rings!

When Wayne got his own ring, the guy beside him cast an envious look, craned his neck and squinted his eyes.

Well, Hardy 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, so he couldn't participate in such high-class activities.

So I feel very embarrassed about having a solitary hard special. I really want to have it, I really want to get it!

Wayne felt as if Hardy was staring at him, so he turned to look at the old wolf.

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

As if to say: "Tsk, isn't it just a championship ring? It's 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 Hardy.

"Kevin, do you want to touch my trophy and my ring?"

"I don't want it!" Old Wolf replied proudly.

"Oh, just take a look."

"Huh, since you said that, I'll take a look at it reluctantly." After saying that, he took the ring away from Wayne's hand and held it excitedly in his hand, facing the light above his head.

So flashy~

I have worked hard for more than ten years just for this thing.

This time next year, I will definitely have my own championship ring!

A smile couldn't help appearing on the old wolf's face.

At this time, he became more motivated.

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

This is called the star’s ability to control people’s hearts~

Is Hard Special still Hard Special now?

Not any more.

He is a wild wolf now!

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

After the championship ring awarding ceremony, Du Xiaoshuai walked onto the court with a frown on his face, ready to fight at any time.

This summer, Du Xiaoshuai further enriched his arsenal and did a better job in attacking with the ball than before.

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

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

What a firm determination this is!

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

After all, Wayne is almost 30 years old. He can no longer improve. He has already touched his ceiling.

And I, Du Xiaoshuai, am still in the growing stage!

If Wayne knew that Du Xiaoshuai thought this way, Juebi would laugh to death.

You are still young.

When will the pace of my growth, Gao Dewei, stop?

Yesterday, before the start of the season, Wayne redeemed all the honors he received last season into bonus points, using up all 40 honor redemption opportunities.

Counting that it has been used 10 times before, Wayne still has 30 opportunities to add points before the next upgrade!

So last night, Wayne used the remaining growth points to increase the number of interference shots from 70 to 80!

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

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

Just one sentence: "It's up to you to defend yourself, if I don't make the shot, I lose!"

Even though you, Brother Wei, are about to enter your thirties, your growth rate is still no slower than that of you young people~

Before the game started, the funny guys who had been holding back for the entire off-season turned the Rose Garden into a large-scale dance scene.

Mainly composed of primary school students, assisted by Fensen, they turned the rose garden into a rose village.

On the left, the funny guys are dancing. On the right, the hard knock is when the head hits the basketball hoop.

Wayne was caught in the middle and said his skull hurt.

What a sin!

Fortunately, when the referee asked the starting players of both sides to get ready, the funny guys returned to normal, and the tough guy finally let go of the basketball hoop.

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

The Trail Blazers still have Curry, Tony, Matthews, Wayne and Gasol.

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

At the beginning of the game, Turtlesbrook and Durant started a pick-and-roll - this is a new tactic studied by Brooks.

Last season, Durant rarely participated in pick-and-rolls.

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

Turtle took advantage of the screen to break into the paint and scored a layup under Gasol's defense.

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

The Thunder are a team whose offensive system is not that complete and their offense relies heavily on individual abilities.

To put it bluntly, the talents of Durant and Turtle are enough to make the Thunder the number one offense!

This season of Turtle Shao is one of the rare seasons in his career where he has a relatively high efficiency.

The change in Gui Shao can be seen in this attack.

In the past, his only choice was to directly confront his sister-in-law. Is it necessary to beat around the bush?

But this season, he knows how to dodge in the air and 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 Trail Blazers attacked, Wayne was double-teamed by Sefolosha and Ibaka as soon as he received the basketball!

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

Wayne is convinced, Brooks, how afraid of me are you?

Brooks: Don’t you know what you did to me? Beast!

Just as Wayne was getting pinched, the junior broke free of Turtlesbrook and cut inside.

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

So, Wayne suddenly had a bold idea - he chose to throw the ball directly into the air!

Seeing this, Curry's legs suddenly became full of strength.

As expected, Brother Wei still trusts my dunking ability!

So, shame on you!

I saw Curry leap up suddenly, catch the basketball with both hands in the air, and then smash the ball directly into the frame-Curry dunked with both hands!

"I'll wipe it!" Looking at Curry hanging on the basket, Wayne was shocked.

He originally wanted to give Curry an alley-oop layup, but unexpectedly Curry actually dunked it directly.

Really Portland Carter!

Even Curry had an alley-oop dunk, ye Qingjie!

Turtlesbrook never thought that one day he would be deducted by Curry.

What a shame!

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

Yes, Curry in the 12-13 season has begun to move towards the direction of Ritian.

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 complete body.

Thinking of this, Wayne sighed.

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