The Way of the Center

　　 After December, the strength rankings given by the NBA official website finally have some reference value.

　　 The team that stands out on the leaderboard is undoubtedly the unstoppable Zijin Army. Throughout November, the Los Angeles Lakers played a total of 14 games, and their record in November was 14 wins and 0 losses! The Lakers have not lost a whole month, and such a team deserves to be ranked first.

　　The second place is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by the little emperor James. The record of 14 wins and 3 losses puts them behind the Lakers. It is precisely because of this that the 23VS24 matchup is already the number one speculation target of the NBA.

　　 Although Anjie’s Oklahoma City Thunder scored a good three-game winning streak at the end of November, they have fallen far too much. With 12 losses and 4 wins, the Thunder ranks third from the bottom in the league. Like many critics predicted before the game, the Thunder are at the bottom.

　　 However, there are 82 games in the regular season, and Presti is full of confidence in the Thunder's third minor and Jeff Van Gundy. It doesn't matter if you fall behind in the first month, he believes the Thunder will only get better and better.

　　 As expected, on December 3rd, the Thunder ushered in the first game of the month. On this day, they came to Charlotte and challenged the Bobcats away. In addition, the Thunder scored a good start since December.

　　 The game was still very fierce. In front of the Thunder, the Bobcats lineup is already very luxurious.

　　 "Elvis" Gerald Wallace and Kevin Durant fought hard, and both sides showed their superior offensive ability on the offensive end.

　　 Wallace scored a Bobcats-high 24 points, Durant scored a game-high 25 points. After the fierce competition, the two people can be said to be equal.

　　 Westbrook is getting better. After a month of baptism, Westbrook's offense is even more handy. In this game, his scoring has passed 20 again. Although he missed two three-pointers, his 46% total field goal percentage is already very good.

　　 And the person who really decides the outcome of the game is An Jie, who scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. In the face of the strong Emeka Okafor, Anjie completely suppressed the 2004 top spot on both offensive and defensive ends. Another close to a triple-double, Anjie has been called the strongest No. 12 rookie in history by many experts.

　　 It was Anjie's organization on the offensive end and toughness on the defensive end that allowed the Thunder to play at their favorite rhythm throughout the game. 103 to 97, Jeff Van Gundy has yet to fail after taking over the Thunder.

　　 While Anjie performed well, the management of the Kings was naturally questioned from all sides. Fortunately, Jeff Green's performance in the Kings is not bad as An Jie's trading chip, so the pressure on the Kings management is still within a tolerable range. But dare you say that the general manager of the Kings has no regrets?

　　 While Anjie has repeatedly played all-around performance, his commercial value has also been soaring. Originally Anjie’s skin color was a content worthy of speculation, and now that Anjie and the Thunder are gaining momentum, many commercial contracts have also come one after another.

　　 At half past nine in the evening, Anjie is still training himself in the well-equipped Chesapeake Energy Arena. He forced himself in his heart to make up for the extra training that he had left behind because of some self-defeating a while ago. At this time, even Durant had changed his clothes and was ready to leave. The future leader of this team already has very demanding training requirements for himself, but it is still far from the point where An Jie sleeplessly.

　　 An Jie is a lunatic, he doesn't know what rhythm is at all in training. If it hadn't been for Divac's warning in mind, Anjie might have practiced harder.

"Hey An, take a break after training early, I'm leaving now!" Durant, who was wearing a down jacket, greeted An Jie before leaving. At this time, An Jie was wearing a basketball uniform and sweating all over his body. .

　　 "Okay, good night Kevin." An Jie was holding dumbbells. He didn't stop his work, but said goodbye to Durant.

　　 Durant smiled and shook his head, and walked towards the exit. He is very fortunate to have a teammate like An Jie, and the positive effect this guy has brought to the team is too great. He couldn't imagine what the Thunder would be like without An Jie's inside barrier.

　　 After about an hour of training, An Jie finally returned to the locker room, ready to end the day of training. At this moment, An Jie's cell phone rang.

　　 After An Jie continued to become popular, the manager of Meslav was also very busy. He was a little soft after receiving various contracts. No, now he has another commercial contract and he has to discuss with An Jie, so the two of them had this call.

　　 "Let me guess, which video game invites me to try again?" Anjie knew the purpose of Meslav's call, so he made a joke about it.

"It's Gatorade, I think you will have your own taste of Gatorade drinks in the near future." Advertising rake is the biggest source of income for player managers, so this kind of thing is generally the most active. of.

　　 "How does Mr. Meslav feel about the contract?" An Jie asked directly, and Meslav also explained the key points of the contract to An Jie in the most simple and understandable language. An Jie didn't need to look at the contract by himself. Meslav said it was fine, so it was fine. Although Moslav is An Jie’s manager, he is also An Jie’s family. And An Jie absolutely trusts his family.

　　 After talking about the contract, Anjie hit Catherine and her parents again as usual. When all this is done, it means that Anjie's day is over.

　　 But this evening, An Jie's life had some unexpected waves.

　　 When Anjie went to the underground parking lot but rode out on a bicycle, a man sitting in a jeep was shocked and speechless. An ordinary family in the United States will not have too much pressure to raise a car, not to mention that Anjie is still a player in the NBA. Such a person actually just rides a bicycle to and from get off work every day.

　　 In fact, the problem of Anjie’s not buying a car is not because of the money. It’s just that Anjie doesn’t know much about cars. In addition, he doesn’t have time to choose, so he always relies on bicycles.

　　 An Jie rode back home quickly, but An Jie did not notice that a jeep was following him at a distance.

　　 When An Jie opened the gate of his yard, he found that the grass seemed to sway unnaturally.

　　 There are not many people in the neighborhood where An Jie is. At first, An Jie thought it was a stray dog, but after a while the grass moved again, An Jie was a little worried.

　　 "Burglary? Robbery?" An Jie turned on the headlights in the yard, but the lights were still very dim. Slowly, An Jie approached the grass, ready to find out.

　　As Anjie got closer and closer, a person suddenly jumped out of the grass. An Jie was really taken aback by the person who suddenly appeared, and was taken by surprise, while the woman who jumped out embraced An Jie, and the two passionately kissed each other.

　　 An Jie immediately pushed the man away, and the girl ran out of An Jie's yard when she saw it.

　　 "Damn! What the hell!?" An Jie looked at the girl who kept running wild, but ignored the jeep that was also driving away slowly.

　　 To know the relationship between NBA players and women, it can be so complicated that it can be made into a TV series. Even Mr. Wade, a good husband, once broke the scandal of indecent open house.

　　 But the most famous one is the story of "Zhang Twenty Thousand". The NBA has never lacked entanglements between players and women. There are more or less scandals among players every season, and if there is not, it would not be called the NBA.

　　 You may ask the players so busy every day, where there is still time to find so many women. But in the NBA world, women don’t need to look for them at all. Every arena is full of hot and beautiful female fans. As long as the players are willing, there will always be women who will come to the door automatically, and there will be more than one. .

　　 When every man faces such temptation, it is inevitable that he can't control his lower body. Of course Anjie has also encountered rounds of female fans, but he is very shy when facing over-enthusiastic female fans. Not only because An Jie was born in a very traditional country and family, but more importantly, An Jie's position of woman in his heart was already occupied by the naughty Catherine.

　　 It is precisely because of this that An Jie's teammates often joked with An Jie about this matter. They don’t know that An Jie has a girlfriend. A normal adult man lives in Oklahoma City all day by himself. Apart from training, he stays alone in that huge house. Can this be used to make jokes? ?

　　 And Anjie always smiled and refused to answer when asked about women. He didn't want people to know about Catherine, and he didn't want Catherine's life to be disturbed.

　　 But An Jie doesn’t find women the opportunity to make news for the tabloids. It does not mean that the tabloids will not take the initiative to attack. The most powerful thing about these gossip tabloids is that they distort the facts? As long as there is a picture, they can make up a story book. However, in the jeep that just drove away, a reporter was looking at the scene of An Jie kissing a girl he had just taken with satisfaction~www.NovelMTL.com~ You think An Jie’s skin color and nationality can’t attract the tabloid’s attention. ? For them, Anjie is also full of commercial value.

　　 An Jie couldn't understand what he had just encountered. He didn't know yet, he had become a cash cow for gossip magazines without knowing it.

　　 Early the next morning, An Jie was woken up by the phone ringing. He doesn't know what's going on yet, picking up the phone, the caller ID shows his manager.

　　 "Why is it so early, Mr. Meslav." An Jie's tone was still full of sleepiness.

　　 "What's the matter with you, Anjie! How can you make such a problem at this time!?" Meslav's voice was very severe.

　　 "What's the matter?" An Jie was also at a loss when he was yelled at.

　　 Suddenly, An Jie remembered that unusual thing when he went home yesterday. Is it really related to that?

　　 "Have you not watched the news? The picture of you kissing a girl passionately in the yard in the middle of the night has been spread all over!" Meslav looked at the small magazines on his desk with a splitting headache. Originally, there was nothing in the photo itself. It was normal for two adult men and women to kiss, but looking at the articles in the magazine, it was simply unsightly!

　　 An Jie probably knew what was going on in his mind, but that’s good, he was all about playing, but unexpectedly this kind of thing would still be his turn.

　　 But Anjie didn’t worry about his reputation at all at this time. What he was worried about was whether Catherine would be fooled by these news!
