Barkley is really full of expectations for this short and strong striker he has cultivated.

Because in the team training game that is close to actual combat, Tucker is already one of the team's best rebounders.

Tucker was not at a disadvantage when competing for rebounds against a taller matchup than him.

Who said I, Fliggy, is the head of fighting coach?

In addition to fighting, I have made great contributions to this team!

but......

Whether Barkley's training is successful depends on whether Tucker can play a role in the real game.

Although the training competition is close to actual combat, it is not actual combat after all.

What kind of performance this guy can perform in the actual game is still unknown.

Tucker also stood up and giggled at Barkley.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at? Do you know who you are about to face? Los Angeles Lakers! If you don't perform well, you will be in vain with me for so long...backboarding."

"It's okay, no matter who he meets, it's all done." Tucker, who was holding the basic salary, giggled foolishly.

Because Tucker is a second round pick, the rookie contract is different from the well-known rookie contract.

The second round pick's rookie contract was only two years. After the expiration, the Trail Blazers renewed Tucker's basic salary for two years.

Some people only get a basic salary contract when they get old, while others only get a basic salary contract when they are young.

At this time, Carlisle whistled, signaling everyone to prepare to start confrontational training.

Tucker rushed up excitedly, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Hey, boy!" As soon as Tucker ran out two steps, Sir Ba stopped him.

"ah?"

"Well... nothing. Come on, do you know?"

Barkley looked at Tucker and clenched his fists.

Work hard, tough guy.

On May 19, the day that is highly anticipated has come.

Portland, rose garden.

At the gate of the arena, there are no posters of players hanging as usual.

There is only one huge poster with a pure black background hanging outside, and on the black background, there are only two lines of white words.

The word "revenge" is written in English and Chinese respectively.

Well, last season, the Los Angeles eliminated the Trail Blazers in Rose Garden and advanced to the finals.

This season, the Trail Blazers are about to complete revenge at their doorstep!

The poster is very simple, but it makes everyone respect it.

Fans flocked to the stadium, and every seat in the stadium was placed in a black T-shirt with the words "rip city" written on its chest.

Almost every fan has changed into such a T-shirt. In this way, after uniform dressing, the home atmosphere of the Trail Blazers will look even more intense.

In addition to T-shirts, fans naturally brought a lot of signs to enter the venue.

The words "Grit.Grind" are written on the cards brought by most fans.

This is the promotional slogan for the Trail Blazers this year's playoffs, just like the Cavaliers used "All for one, one for all" in Wayne's previous life.

It is a slogan provided to the city.

The meaning of the Trail Blazers slogan is translated by CCTV as "Strive forever and never give up."

It is the best interpretation of these two words.

Because this round of series is very special for Chinese fans, Director Zhang also got the opportunity to enter the Trail Blazers locker room before the game.

Director Zhang mainly interviewed Coach Carlisle and asked him many questions.

Finally, Coach Zhang also taught NBA Kim Kelly to write his Chinese name.

So when Wayne returned to the locker room, he saw a few Chinese words written crookedly on the tactical whiteboard - Rick Mi Comes to Kill.

Wayne:???

How did this guide teach?

Director Zhang: I really tried my best! There is no way, writing Chinese is too difficult for this group of foreigners!

"How is it? I'm good at writing, right?" Carlisle was very proud when he saw Wayne reading the words on the whiteboard.

"Well... it's well written..." Wayne smiled awkwardly, mainly because he didn't want to erase your enthusiasm.

"I found that Chinese characters are really difficult to write. By the way, how do you say the Chinese champion?"

Well, Carlisle is now really interested in Chinese.

"champion."

“Currying?”

"Yeah, champion..."

"For the sake of filling, guys!" Carlisle yelled now and then learned to sell, whirling his fist.

The Great Sage shook his head and said, "I'm still doing it if I want to preach Chinese."

Look at the cannon, now you call your father so much that you can get rid of it.

Before the game began, Carlisle carefully arranged the tactics.

Due to the major changes in personnel, the rotation plan has also changed greatly from before.

Everyone listened very seriously. This is the Western Conference Finals and there is no way to get a break.

Before Wayne appeared, he stood up and clapped his hands like China vs. the United States at last year's Olympics.

The locker room suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at him.

Wayne looked around and looked at the four people who were suspended for protecting themselves.

"Hey, we're here again, guys. Once again, the damn defending champions are in front of us! For this, a lot of us have lost the chance to go on the field to fight.

Therefore, those who can still fight should cherish such opportunities. Because this is the opportunity our brothers are willing to sacrifice!

Don't take championships and victory, it's all for granted. We are in history and we need to be the most difficult team to win.

I'll emphasize again, don't take victory for granted.

Okay, now, let's go on stage and drive the group of bastards out of my territory!"

After saying that, Wayne put his hands in the middle and everyone gathered towards him.

“1,2,3…”

"champion!"

After saying that, the whole team rushed into the stadium.

On the court, Kobe and his Los Angeles Lakers were already warming up.

Wayne looked at Kobe from afar, and once again, they met on the battlefield where the championship belonged.

This is the fourth time.

The first time was the 2007 Western Conference Finals, the second time was the 2008 Western Conference Finals, and the third time was the 2008 Olympic finals.

Wayne didn't expect that he would have such a bond with Kobe.

Kobe looked at Wayne and compared four fingers, which meant that he had four championship rings.

Wayne smiled, then turned around and started shooting to warm up.

Wayne doesn't know if Chau can get the fifth ring in this history.

but......

Even if it can, it is definitely not this year!
Chapter completed!
