Chapter 182. 182. Pioneer Double Star

Aldridge was a little excited today, very different from his usual idle look, and was very focused on warming up.

After the warm-up training, he was about to enter the court. Aldridge walked up to Lillard who had finished warming up and asked, "Damir, how are you preparing for today's game against the Lakers? I heard that Nash and Whiteside It's good news for us that we can't."

Lillard, whether in or out of the game, was as cold and arrogant as ever, and responded lightly: "Huh, who cares who can't beat them, I want to fight the strongest enemy more, and it's me who beat the strongest Lakers." The goal!"

Beat the Lakers?Aldridge curled his lips. He thought it was possible during the regular season, but the team's lineup will be in the playoffs?
Aldridge looked around his opponent, he was convinced that his team's starting lineup was indeed very good, Lillard, Matthews, Batum, Lopez and him may not be able to find a better starting lineup in the entire league stronger team.

But what about the bench?Aldridge is not as optimistic and confident as Lillard. He is so greedy for the Lakers' rotation that players as powerful as Whiteside and Nick Young can only play as substitutes.

"Rade Marcus, I hope you can be serious, we will win! As long as you are serious!" Lillard said, staring at Aldridge.

"Okok, I'll be serious." Aldridge waved his hand and walked to the locker room to change his jersey and enter the field.

Lillard looked at Aldridge's back and sighed helplessly. His teammate is good at everything. On the offensive end, he can shoot from low post to all positions within the three-point line without dead ends, but he just looks down on his own team too much. Even if you take it seriously once in a while, it's just to make it to the All-Star.

However, Lillard has to admit that Aldridge is really strong, and he can become an All-Star player by playing casually. He has always felt that as long as Aldridge plays seriously, he is definitely the strongest insider in the league, and there will be no one!

On the other side, while changing jerseys in the locker room, while thinking about the Lakers, Aldridge said in an unreadable voice: "Are you serious? It's time to be serious. At least you have to win a championship before you retire! This team is Can't wait any longer..."

Aldridge thinks this way after playing this team for almost 8 years and seeing the essence of this team clearly. He has been extremely disappointed in the Trail Blazers, and he will always rely on the draft. One is reimbursed and retired, and the bench is always so bad. The starter is already the most efficient in the league, but the bench is ranked second to last in the league. Only the 76ers have a worse bench efficiency than the Blazers.

The thing that has hit Aldridge a lot recently is the fact that McCollum played for the Lakers. His team actually sent McCollum away so blindly. Yi and Oden can tell at a glance that they are rookies with super combat power, but their vision is extremely poor at other times!
The media always say that the Blazers have a good draft vision. Almost every lottery pick can select the best player in that session. Aldridge scoffs at this. You know that the strength far exceeds the super instant combat power of the entire NCAA.

Oden is the No. [-] overall pick, and he will still choose Oden if he chooses another team. Absolutely all teams will think about whether it will prevent this super talented man from continuing to be injured if he is checked and treated in advance.

In Aldridge's view, the Blazers' draft is not a good vision, but has been seeking stability, choosing a rookie with little possibility of water.

Aldridge has player options this summer, and he has already begun to look for teams he wants to transfer to. The Lakers are one of his goals.

……

"Paul, what is the strategy that the coach has just arranged to deal with the Blazers? I don't understand it. It seems to be the same as usual?" Liu Ren asked Gasol while shooting.

"Strategy? Er..." Gasol recalled, as if the coach didn't arrange any coping strategies?
Kobe helped the restrained Gasol answer: "As before, attack and attack."

Kobe knew that Gasol had a good heart, and he was unwilling to say bad things about the coach, even if it was something that might be bad.

Liu Ren wailed: "Isn't it? The opponent is the Trail Blazers. Their starting lineup is ridiculously strong. Neither the Heat nor the Spurs can beat their starting lineup. They don't have any countermeasures at all?"

Kobe curled his lips: "It's not your first day playing in our team. We have to defend against our opponents! But the second-year kid on the other side is really good, and he has the demeanor of me back then!"

Liu Ren gave Kobe a white look: "You are still playing as a substitute in the second grade, you have a ghostly demeanor, don't put money on your face."

"Even as a substitute, you are much better than you. How many points did you average last season? 6 points? Or 7 points?"

Kobe began to confront Liu Ren, and then Liu Ren was also unceremonious and retaliated.

Gasol and the rest of the Lakers have been very calm about this. Since Kobe's comeback, this has become the norm for the Lakers, and everyone is not surprised to distance themselves from the two.

At this moment, two people from the Trail Blazers came over, and Gasol quickly stopped Kobe and Liu Ren from sparring. No matter what, you can't lose face in front of outsiders, right?

Aldridge is very interested in the Lakers, so of course he is very interested in Liu Ren.

Aldridge wanted to know what kind of guy it was to lead last season's reprogrammed Lakers team, which had clearly begun to decline.

He hoped that this guy would be an interesting person. Aldridge hoped to make friends with the Lakers, so he asked Lillard to come over and say hello to get acquainted.

Speaking of it, Aldridge regretted it. At the beginning, he had not been able to make the All-Star for many years, so he opened a map shot casually, criticizing those who made the All-Star by virtue of the team's record, and Gasol was among them.

Now that Gasol has signed a non-tradable long-term contract with the Lakers, Aldridge will inevitably be embarrassed if he wants to go to the Lakers, so he wants to get acquainted first and ease the previous conflicts.

Lillard did not refuse, and came to the Lakers with Aldridge. He was also very interested in Liu Ren. No, it was different from Aldridge who wanted to make friends. He came here to understand this recently called The guy who leads the younger generation.

For fans and media experts calling Liu Ren the strongest player of the younger generation, Lillard is very concerned, very concerned, very concerned, even Cousins ​​​​in the 2010 class and Anthony Davis who was in the same class as him were both selected. Known as one of the elite and leaders of the younger generation, he was not happy that he was being ignored.
