182. Pioneer Double Star
Aldridge was a little excited today, very different from his usual appearance, very attentive to the warm-up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the warm-up workout, Aldridge walked up to Lillard, who had finished the warm-up, and asked, "Damir, how are you preparing for today's game against the Lakers?" Hearing that Nash and Whiteside can't play, that's good news for us. ”
Lillard, whether in the game or outside the game, was as cold and arrogant as ever, and responded lightly: "Hmph, whoever cares about them can't fight, I want to fight the strongest enemy more, and it is my goal to defeat the strongest Lakers!" ”
Beat the Lakers? Aldridge pouted, he thought it was possible in the regular season, and in the playoffs, the current team's lineup?
Aldridge looked around at his opponent and was convinced that his team's starters were indeed very good, and that Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Lopets, and he might not be able to find a better starting lineup than him in the entire league.
But what about the substitutions? Aldridge is not as optimistic and confident as Lillard, and he is extremely greedy for the Lakers' rotation, with players like Whiteside and Nick Young having to play off the bench.
"Radmarcus, I hope you can be serious, we will win! As long as you're serious! Lillard said, staring at Aldridge.
"OKOK, I'll be serious." Aldridge waved his hand and walked to the locker room to change his shirt and enter the stadium.
Lillard looked at Aldridge's back and sighed helplessly, his teammate is good at everything, and the offensive end can shoot from the low post to the three-point line without dead ends, but he just looks down on his own team too much, and even once in a while he is serious just to get into the All-Star.
However, Lillard has to admit that Aldridge is really strong, and he can become an All-Star level player by playing casually, and he has always felt that as long as Aldridge plays seriously, he is definitely the strongest interior in the league, and there will be no one!
On the other side, while changing jerseys in the locker room, he was thinking about the Lakers' Aldridge and said in an undetectable voice: "Seriously? It's time to get serious, so you have to win a championship before you retire! This team can't stay any longer......"
Aldridge thinks this way because he has been on this team for almost 8 years and has seen the essence of this team clearly, he has been extremely disappointed in the Trail Blazers, always relying only on the draft, and the people selected are also reimbursed for retirement one after another, the bench is always so bad, the starter is already the most efficient in the league, but the bench ranks second to last in the league, and only the 76ers are worse than the Trail Blazers.
The recent thing that has hit Aldridge a lot is McCollum's value in the Lakers, and his team actually sent McCollum away so unsightly, he thinks that the team is extremely poor except for rookies like Lillard, Roy, and Oden, who can see that they are super powerful at a glance!
The media always says that the Trail Blazers have a good draft vision, and almost every lottery pick can pick the best player of that class, Aldridge scoffs at this, and Roy and Lillard have all played for four years and know that the strength is far beyond the super instant power of the entire NCAA.
Oden is the champion of the iron fight, and if he chooses other teams again, he will still choose Oden, and absolutely all teams will wonder if Oden will be prevented from continuing to be injured if he is examined and treated in advance.
In Aldridge's view, the Trail Blazers' draft is not a good vision, but a matter of seeking stability and choosing a rookie who is unlikely to be in the water.
Aldridge has a player option this summer, and he has already started looking for teams to move to, with the Lakers being one of his targets.
……
"Paul, what is the strategy that the coach just arranged to deal with the Trail Blazers, I don't understand, it seems to be the same as usual?" Liu Ren asked Gasol while shooting.
"Strategy? "......Gasol recalled, as if the coach didn't plan any coping strategies?
Bryant helped the restrained Gasol reply: "As before, offense and offense." ”
Kobe Bryant knew that Gasol had a good heart and was reluctant to speak ill of the coach, even if it was something that might be bad.
Liu Ren wailed, "Isn't it? The opponent is the Trail Blazers, their starters are ridiculously strong, the Heat and Spurs can't beat their starters, and they don't have a strategy at all? ”
Kobe Bryant pouted: "It's not the first day you've played on our team, and it's up to us to defend against the opponent!" But the second-grade kid on the other side is really powerful, and he has the style of my year! ”
Liu Ren glanced at Kobe: "You are still playing as a substitute in the second grade, you have the demeanor of a ghost, don't put gold on your face." ”
"Even the bench is much better than you, how many points per game did you average last season? 6 points? Or 7 points? ”
Kobe Bryant began to spray with Liu Ren, and then Liu Ren was also unceremonious and reciprocated.
Gasol and the rest of the Lakers have been very calm about this, and since Kobe Bryant's comeback, this has been the norm for the Lakers, and everyone has distanced themselves from the two in no surprise.
At this moment, two people from the Trail Blazers came over, and Gasol hurriedly stopped Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren from spraying each other, no matter what, he couldn't lose face in front of outsiders.
Aldridge is very interested in the Lakers, so it is natural that he is interested in Liu Ren.
Aldridge was curious to know what kind of guy was who led the Lakers to reprogram the powerhouse last season, which had clearly begun to decline.
He wanted this guy to be a funny guy, and Aldridge wanted to make friends with the Lakers, so he called Lillard to come over and say hello and get acquainted.
Speaking of which, Aldridge regretted that he had not been able to make the All-Star for many years, so he casually fired a map cannon and attacked those who relied on the team's record to make the All-Star, including Gasol.
Now that Gasol has signed a non-tradable long-term contract with the Lakers, Aldridge wants to go to the Lakers, which is inevitably embarrassing, so he wants to get acquainted with it first and ease the previous contradictions.
Lillard didn't refuse, and followed Aldridge to the Lakers, he was also very interested in Liu Ren, no, unlike Aldridge who wanted to make friends, he came here to understand this guy who has recently been known as the leader of the younger generation.
Lillard is very upset that fans and media experts call Liu Ren the strongest player of the younger generation, very much, very much, even Cousins in the class of 2010 and Anthony Davis, who is in his class, are called one of the elites and leaders of the younger generation, and he is very unhappy that he has been ignored.
