The Way of the Center

　　 After everything is done, Anjie finally has a rare real vacation. In the past, he had to practice more when playing NCAA. After school holidays, he still kept training in order to improve his Anjie. Now, he finally has some free time to accompany his parents back to China.

　　 What An Jie did not expect was that the An Jie family was surrounded by reporters when they stepped off the plane. The An Jie family was caught off guard and tossed at the airport for more than an hour before finally getting out of there.

　　 "You are...you are An Jie!" The driver said in disbelief when he looked at the rearview mirror halfway through the taxi. In fact, he already knew who was sitting behind, but he never dared to speak.

　　 "It's me." An Jie kept smiling. Now he is a public figure, so he can't just show others' faces.

"God! I told you that I am a veteran football fan with more than ten years of experience! Your generation of children can enter the NBA and it is really for the Chinese people! I don't need the fare, you will give it to me later. Just sign a name on the clothes." The driver's master smiled honestly, and An Jie also realized the loveliness of real fans for the first time.

　　 "Play well in a foreign country! Our Chinese fans will always support you!" After getting off the car, the master did not forget to cheer on An Jie.

　　 "I will work hard, big brother!"

　　As soon as the taxi left, a large group of people swarmed up around Anjie's house. Yes, it's a reporter again...

　　 was squeezed for another hour, and the Anjie family finally squeezed into the house. The reporters didn't try to break into the house, so they finally let An Jie go.

　　 "God, I didn't expect to have such a twists and turns when returning home." An Jie collapsed on the familiar sofa, home, he finally went home.

　　 When I left home a year ago to study in the United States, who knew that An Jie would come back as a professional player. This year was truly a dreamy year, and An Jie felt a little unbelievable.

　　 But this is also thanks to An Jie's basketball teacher, his father An Shiran. Once he failed to become a professional player, he also hoped that his son could fulfill his dream at the beginning. So when An Jie was young, An Shiran taught An Jie's basketball very well, which is why An Jie's basic basketball skills are so solid.

　　 But the dream is always broken by reality. He doesn't want his son to follow in his own footsteps. Only studying safely is the safest way out in China. Unexpectedly, the son actually fulfilled his long-cherished wish just like that.

　　 During the half month in China, An Jie did not dare to relax too much. In addition to going to the gym every day to exercise, Anjie also specially booked a small indoor basketball court for his own training. A half-month charter fee for a small stadium is nothing to An Jie now.

　　 Live with my parents, meet with friends in China, visit the coaches of my high school team, participate in the celebration banquet of the Provincial Sports Bureau, and of course have the daily thunderous training. In the half month since returning to China, An Jie didn't really have much free time.

　　 After a short half-month holiday, Anjie had to leave his hometown again. He has to rush to Seattle to reconcile with the team, and then participate in the upcoming summer league.

　　 Before leaving, An Jie’s mother cried again into tears. After An Jie leaves, who knows when he will come back.

　　 After saying goodbye to his family at the airport, Anjie once again embarked on the road of basketball away from home.

　　...................

　　 "I'm in Seattle now, how are you doing." An Jie asked with a grin on the phone.

　　 "My father posted all the photos of you eating here before, and now the business is so bad that I can't get too busy." On the other side of the phone, Catherine's sweet voice was heard.

　　 "I will take time to return to Ames before the start of the new season. I haven't said goodbye to you and the Cyclone team yet."

　　 "It would be nice to be back..." The two young lovers have not seen each other for some days.

　　 "Catherine, don't worry, we will be together soon."

　　 "I'm not worried, I believe you, Ann." Catherine put away her usual naughty, and said this in a solemn tone.

　　.........................

　　 After gathering with the team, the first thing is not the summer league, but the relocation of the team.

　　 After a short legal battle, SuperSonics owner Bennett and Seattle City reached an agreement to leave the team's original team name and color to Seattle, and he took the team to Oklahoma City. It was precisely because of the relocation of the team that the Sonics did not participate in the summer league that season. Anjie and Westbrook also lost a valuable exercise opportunity.

　　 After local fans voted, this new team was officially named the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team also chose blue, red and orange as their main colors. An Jie Wan never thought that the first NBA team he joined was actually a new NBA team. And he himself was fortunate to be the first player in the history of the Thunder.

　　 The 30-day transfer freeze date came in an instant, and the Kings also completed the transaction as promised. Now, Anjie is a real Thunder player.

　　 As soon as the news came out, the domestic media immediately went into a **** storm, and they all criticized the Kings. You must know that the Thunder is a brand new team, and it is predicted that there will be no good performances this season. Throwing Anjie to such a bad place, the Kings are deliberately having trouble with the Chinese people.

　　 However, An Jie, as the client, is very calm, because the transaction was actually completed a month ago, but people only know it now.

　　 Missed the summer league, the Thunder's pre-season training camp opened much earlier than other teams. The Thunder do not have many stars, and the people with the most attention may be the three rookies Durant, Westbrook and Anjie.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that we are teammates now." Westbrook greeted An Jie enthusiastically. During the NCAA, he had to work hard to deal with this Asian. Now it’s good, this Asian is guarding his own family. The hoop is looking after him.

　　 "I didn't expect that we could join hands. The world is amazing." An Jie did not expect that he would be in the same room with the opponent who eliminated him so quickly. The script of life is really full of surprises everywhere.

　　 "Hey, it's nice to work with you, Anjay." After that, a lanky black boy shyly joined the conversation between Anjay and Westbrook. It was Kevin Durant.

"DJ Augustine told me about you on the phone a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet so soon, as a teammate." Although Durant performed well last season, the team had the worst record in history. The results. Well now, the team has two good guys, Durant is full of longing for his second NBA season.

　　 Anjie and the Thunder teammates get along pretty well, which is the advantage of not having a big star team. There is no absolute boss in the team, and there is no small group that disagrees with each other. And unlike Yao Ming who was unable to adapt to life in the United States during his rookie season, Anjie has been tempered by the NCAA for a season, and there is no problem getting along with these Americans.

　　 The training camp went on unhurriedly, and An Jie did come into contact with many training methods that he had never seen before. And Presti also looked at the three people running on the training ground with satisfaction. Durant, Westbrook and Anjie all performed well, which made him very pleased. You know, the three of them are now all of the Thunder. Their future directly affects the future of the Thunder.

　　 While Anjie was sweating in Oklahoma City, the Beijing Olympics kicked off on time. Since An Jie is not a player in the system, and he has not played a professional basketball game, joining the national team is just a hype by the media. The Basketball Association has never considered An Jie from the beginning to the end. . Besides, the inside line of the Chinese team is already very crowded. If An Jie is an outside player, there may be a real possibility of being selected.

　　 In the unprecedented Olympic Games held at home, An Jie didn't even have time to watch the live broadcast. Because the game time happened to be the time An Jie and the others trained, the Olympic Games, which was of great significance to the Chinese, passed away in this way.

　　 With the end of the Olympics, the NBA preseason is approaching, and Anjie is gradually becoming nervous. The day of his first professional game is getting closer and closer.

　　.........................

　　 The night before the start of the preseason, An Jie received a call from his mentor, Divac.

"Boy, didn't you practice more in the gym!" Divac knew that An Jie would have a game tomorrow. He emphasized that An Jie should not practice on the night before the game. Now he wants to see if his disciples have faithfully performed themselves. The command.

"No, no, I’m recharging my energy at home now." An Jie rented himself a small second-hand house in Oklahoma City. With the help of Meslav, he didn’t spend too much money on this house. Much money.

　　 "That's good~www.NovelMTL.com~ I will come to see your game tomorrow, don't shame me."

　　 "When are you coming for training?" Since the meeting with the team, Anjie has never seen Divac again. He seems to be going back to Serbia for vacation.

"Participate in training? You are now a professional player Anjie. In the NBA you can get better training than my guidance. I am no longer your center coach." Divac laughed haha ​​on the phone. When he got up, he was really reluctant to Anjie in his heart.

"What!? What a joke! Is there any center coach that can compare to you!" Although only got along for a short period of time, Anjie knew that without Divac's help, he would not be where he is today. step. To this mentor, An Jie was full of infinite gratitude besides being reluctant to give up.

"Sooner or later, you have to learn to walk alone. I have nothing left to give you, you know, the Serbian government asked me to be a humanitarian consultant, which means I'm going to be an official hahaha. I think I am at the same time. Stay away from the basketball court and do something different." Divac's tone is very calm. He has experienced countless joys and sorrows. He knows that he must let go now.

　　Anjie also knew that Divac had made up his mind. He could never selfishly stop others from pursuing his own life for himself.

　　 After hanging up the phone, thinking that the old demon would never be seen again on the training ground in the future, An Jie suddenly felt a little lost in his heart. However, the best way to repay your teacher is to succeed in the arena.

In the preseason, Anjie is ready to repay Divac’s teaching grace with actions on the court~www.NovelMTL.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all here~ www.NovelMTL.com~ For mobile phone users, please go to read.
