The Way of the Center

Chapter 137 : Weekend, end

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

“Congratulations, Kevin, for breaking the scoring record and winning the rookie game MVP trophy. How did you play such a high efficiency today?” Doris Burke was the first to rush to Durant after the game.

“I just want to have a good time and have fun in the game. Fortunately, I scored all the goals I shot today.” Durant smiled, and the shy boy did not hide his heart. Of happiness.

Durant did not lie, he did not deliberately monopolize the ball for victory and honor. During the game, Durant even gave Brooks a weird aerial relay, but the latter smashed the ball and failed to complete the performance.

“So, in the league, who do you think is the most terrifying defensive titan?” Durant has undoubtedly become the core of the Thunder, so he often has to be closely guarded by the opponent. In fact, under the control of Westbrook and Anjie, Durant’s offensive pressure has been much smaller this season.

“There is no doubt Artest!” Durant replied decisively without even thinking about it. “He is too strong, and his feet are quite flexible. If you want to score on his head, you have to do everything possible to get him to run with you. But my teammate Anjie can let me fight against him. It’s easier. Ann’s passing and pick-and-rolls during the game have helped me a lot.”

“This kid can talk!”

“Yes, good teammates!”

Durant’s words are also a lot of fans in China.

Of course, reporters are not just entangled in Durant. As the best rookie center in the league so far, Anjie can’t avoid the fate of being rounded up.

“Your teammate won the Rookie Game MVP award. Do you have anything to say?” A CCTV reporter strenuously held out the microphone to the 2.19 meter An Jie.

“I am very happy and proud of Kevin. You can always play at a higher level when you play with a guy like this.” Then An Jie pointed in Durant’s direction and saw An Jie’s movements. Durant also waved in response.

“Your performance so far this season has been very good, and the Thunder have also won a considerable ranking as a new NBA team. With this performance, I think you can be selected for the All-Star game.”

“I will continue to work hard to one day be able to appear in the All-Star Weekend Sunday game.” Looking at the photos of the players participating in the All-Star game hanging on the gymnasium, Anjie’s eyes were full of yearning. It is not impossible for Chinese to be selected for the All-Stars. Isn’t Yao Ming also a frequent visitor at All-Star Weekend.

“We all know that you can do it! In the second half of the season, I wish you good results!” CCTV reporters gave An Jie a blessing as usual, and ended the interview with this.

“What’s the matter, Tina? Are you still reluctant to leave? There is still a business event to participate in tomorrow morning.” Giardina’s manager Del Abrahi patted the little queen who was sitting in the audience.

“Mr. Abrahi, will we still have a chance to cooperate with the NBA in the future?” This gentle and sweet little girl did not expect that she would be attracted by this somewhat rude sport.

“Hahaha, do you like basketball in just one game? Don’t worry about Tina, I will pay special attention to the invitation given by the NBA. Let’s go, we are really about to miss the plane.” Abrahi pointed to Pointing to his watch, Giardina reluctantly got up from his seat. This 16-year-old young idol would never have thought that he would have forged a relationship with basketball ever since.

………………..

The process of the All-Star Weekend on the second day continued as usual. Before the start of the various games, the fans Jialianhua’s activities were also Anjie and they had to participate.

Due to the relationship between Yao Ming and An Jie, Phoenix has welcomed many Asian tourists this time. Yes, not just China, but many Korean and Japanese basketball fans have come here for these two big guys. Some fans can’t afford the tickets for the game, so they choose to come to the fans Jialianhua and The stars are in close contact.

At this time, a lot of fans gathered on the side of the open-air basketball court of Fan Jia Lianhua. Because on the court, several NBA players, including An Jie, are competing in a brand new event.

The H-O-R-S-E competition is the first off-court event held by the All-Stars this year. One player chooses a shooting point to shoot in various ways, and the next player must use the same method to complete the goal within 24 seconds. If a player has succeeded five times in total, he will be the final winner.

Only three people participated in this off-field game, namely “Eagle King” Joe Johnson, 2008 No. 1 pick Derrick Rose and also rookie Anjie.

Although it is an open court, sideline commentary is also indispensable. Chris Weber and “Magic” Johnson were sitting at the temporary commentator next to the open court at the moment, serving as the live commentators for the game. Originally, the NBA wanted to invite Webber’s teammate Divac in the Kings team to participate in the event, but Divac was too busy after becoming a government official, so he also missed this opportunity to meet with Anjie.

Joe Johnson took the lead. He threw his back to the basket from the free throw line. However, the basketball fell into the net with precision, and the fans around the side of the court suddenly burst into huge exclamations.

Derek Rose followed closely behind, but he imitated the action but threw the ball directly behind the rebound. This shot caused laughter from the audience, and Rose scratched his head in embarrassment.

The next Anjie did not throw the ball to the backboard again, but the basketball he threw with his back to the basket still hit the neck of the basket, but Joe Johnson had no choice but to score the first point.

After that, the trio’s various unimaginable shooting methods made the audience on the sidelines burst into laughter. Under the mobilization of Chris Weber and Johnson, the atmosphere on the scene was also very hot. It almost became the most popular place in the entire Jialianhua. A welcome place.

“Chance for a Chinese big guy! Anjie has now succeeded four goals, if he scores another goal, then the victory will belong to him!” Chris Weber shouted into the microphone.

“Yes, let’s see what kind of problem the Wind City Rose will give An Jie.”

Rose smirked at An Jie, beckoned back, and motioned the fans around the sidelines to retreat.

When the fans vacated the entire half, Rose held the ball and ran to a place only two steps away from the center line.

“Oh, no! He must have done this for Anjie!” Weber’s exaggerated and humorous sideline commentary has become part of the game.

Rose made a shot from two steps from the center line. The goal was not scored, but Anjie had to imitate something exactly the same and score a goal, otherwise he would never end the game.

Joe Johnson was the first to try, but the basketball he shot near the center line was directly untouched and hit a fan in the head.

“Come on, Chinese!”

“If you enter one more, you will win!”

When Anjie got the basketball, the cheering on the sidelines became louder. Anjie is the closest to victory at this time, so naturally there are more fans supporting him.

An Jie took two steps in the center line, and he shook his head helplessly, looking as if he was really troubled by Rose’s problem.

Rose mobilized the atmosphere triumphantly on the side, and the cheers of the audience continued to increase.

An Jie set his posture, grabbed the basketball, took off and shot!

The basketball flies fast and flat in the air, it feels like there is no arc at all, it seems to be a doomed attempt. However, what everyone didn’t expect was that An Jie shot the basketball at the front of the hoop, then shot into the air and fell into the net.

“Ohhhhhhhh! Amazing Ann! He threw the ball in the first attempt! What can I say!? The magician will call an ambulance soon, and my blood pressure has soared!” Webber supported exaggeratedly. The magician’s arm seemed to fall down at any time.

Anjie shook his finger at Derek Rose. Of course, this was not a provocation. He smiled when he did this action. And Rose also kept applauding An Jie, and even grabbed An Jie’s arm and raised it high, indicating that he was the winner.

Under the cheers of the fans, Magic Johnson awarded An Jie the trophy, and An Jie became the first H-O-R-S-E champion in history.

After the fan carnival, Anjie also participated in all the individual events in the afternoon. Of course, he was arranged in the first row as a spectator.

The first row is all for NBA players who do not have a game. Like Wade and Howard, their exaggerated “performance” on the sidelines will add to the exciting game.

But because of this, Catherine and Beard couldn’t stay with Anjie.

Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, and finally the most anticipated slam dunk contest. The three Thunder players all watched all the competitions on the sidelines, talking and laughing.

In the past, Anjie could only watch these programs on TV, but now, as a guest, he has been invited to watch the game in the best position. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. A few years ago, An Jie was killed and he never thought that he could have such a day.

When Nate Robinson, who was only 1.75 meters tall, flew over Howard to complete a dunk, Anjie was really taken aback. He grew his mouth and stared into the court, unable to believe what had just happened.

Nate Robinson’s height is less than 1.75 meters, which means that his true height is even lower than 1.75 meters! Such a height in China is definitely not related to professional basketball, but it is such a guy who defeated “Superman” and won the title of NBA dunk king.

In addition to the wonderful dunks, there are actually many places worthy of reflection on Chinese basketball…

On a crazy night, the third thunder master felt very tired even if he was just off the court. Although psychologically relaxed during the All-Star Weekend, physical strength is not much easier than during the regular season.

The next day, just as the most famous group of guys in the entire NBA was preparing to perform in Phoenix, the three Thunder had to bid farewell to Phoenix, bid farewell to the All-Star Weekend, and return to Oklahoma to go with the team early in the morning. Converged.

The All-Star game will start on the night of the 15th, and the Thunder will have a game on the 16th, so the three Thunder must set off early this morning, and their free time ends here.

Although Anjie is gone, Catherine and Beard will continue to stay in Phoenix until the end of the All-Star Game and their father and daughter will not go back. But of course, before the Thunder Third Young Master left, Catherine was still by An Jie’s side.

“Have fun with Catherine, we’ll meet again soon.” An Jie touched his girlfriend’s head, and An Jie has always felt guilty about not being able to accompany her well.

“Don’t worry about me, the next is the critical moment of the playoffs. You must be careful not to get hurt. Some **** can’t be prevented, so don’t try hard.” Catherine gave Anjie. After finishing the collar, he began to mutter.

Parting again, and once again I don’t know the time of the next meeting. Catherine has long been used to this kind of love. Watching An Jie’s tall figure disappear at the end of the boarding aisle, Catherine finally couldn’t help but flushed her eyes…

Three days of relaxing time are fleeting, and the next game will become more intense and **** for the place in the playoffs.

In the west, trying to climb from tenth to eighth is far from as easy as imagined. The front team will not easily give the opportunity, and the back team has been chasing after it. The third Thunder must show a better performance before it is possible to get a ticket to the playoffs! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
