The Way of the Center

Chapter 49



Chapter 49 : Draw down the curtain

went back to Ames after a failure, but the Cyclone players were unexpectedly welcomed and encouraged by fans from all over the city. Fans gathered around the entrance of the Iowa State University gymnasium, waiting for the return of the heroes.

They received the same treatment as the winners. The fans love this group of boys and cherish their time in the team very much. Unlike the relatively stable lineup of NBA teams, the NCAA team has a very different lineup almost every year. Some participate in the draft, some graduate, and some are busy with their studies. Of course, a lot of fresh blood will be added every year. Who led the Tornadoes to the Sweet 16 this season, how many more will fans see next season?

An Jie is the most reluctant fans of the fans. If he announces that he will play NCAA for another year, it is okay, but if An Jie directly participates in the draft, then the core of the Tornado team can no longer lead the team to challenge the giants.

“Don’t go, Ann.”

“Let’s fight for another year.”

“we need you.”

Several fans held big signs, hoping that the core of the team would stay. Anjie admitted that his heart was a little shaken, go to the *** draft, he also wants to lead the Cyclone team back to March Madness.

“If you give up this opportunity, then your future will become very unclear!” After a day of rest, Divac personally visited An Jie’s rental house, he came to persuade An Jie to participate in the draft. When Anjie said that he still wanted to continue playing in college, Divac became serious.

“If I can play better stats next season and let the Tornado team perform further, wouldn’t my draft prospects be better.” An Jie’s voice became less and lesser, and he had no confidence.

“You know you are deceiving yourself, you just don’t want to face it. Brandon Rush, who played against you, was as naive as you, but his career was delayed by college basketball. Not everyone is suitable. Taking part in the draft directly is not suitable for everyone to continue to hone in the university. When it is time to go up, never stop.” Divac doesn’t want Anjie to waste time, even if he is so young.

“But my family…”

“You have to discuss with them slowly. This is indeed a major event in your life. But my professional opinion is that if you can participate in the draft this year, it will not be delayed until next year.” Divac knows how good Anjie’s talent is. He can already dominate the inside in the NCAA. Now there is only one step forward, and only in the NBA, the speed of this kid’s progress will not be delayed. If he continues to play in the NCAA, then he can learn too little.

“Thank you for your suggestion, well, it’s too early. Let’s go, I will take you to a great Chinese restaurant to eat Chinese food.” An Jie looked at his watch and ended the serious conversation between the two .

……………….

Anjie’s NCAA game this season is over, but his college life this semester is still going on.

“The essence of control measurement, detail measurement and construction lofting is to determine the position of a point, and the determination of a point cannot be separated from the three basic observations of distance, angle and height difference. Therefore, the three basic tasks of measurement Yes: distance measurement, angle measurement, height difference measurement; the three basic elements for determining the position of the ground point are distance; angle and height difference.” The teacher of the engineering survey class drew a lot of dense pictures on the podium, and An Jie also Study carefully below. However, returning to work after graduation, is that the life I really want?

Divac also said that if I go back to China to work on the construction site after graduation, it would be a waste of such a good basketball talent.

Professional player? That is my dream since I was a child. In the past, when playing basketball games on the computer, An Jie would pinch a character with similar technical characteristics to him, and then compete with the idols in the NBA arena in the game world. Even if it is possible to fail, he is still unwilling to give up this opportunity to realize his dream. What’s more, after playing basketball in the NCAA for a year, Anjie’s confidence in himself has also increased a lot.

“Ann, you are here to answer this question.” The teacher saw that An Jie, who has always had good grades, was wandering, so he reminded him in this way.

As expected, An Jie could not answer. But after the question and answer, An Jie returned to his thoughts again, completely not focusing on the class because of being called to answer the questions.

Anjie is full of basketball now, and he can’t leave the game anymore.

Even though this season is over, Anjie still continues to train strictly every day, and Divac still systematically teaches Anjie. Whether it’s for next season’s NCAA game or the upcoming NBA draft, he must be prepared.

Divac feels that there are not many things he can teach this kid now, and the only thing Anjie has not learned about Divac is experience, but this thing cannot be taught. Now Anjie’s progress is not as fast as before, because he has learned less new things. He needs better training, the kind of training only available in the NBA.

Technical teaching has encountered a bottleneck, but there are still many things that Anjie needs to improve physically. Whether it is physical fitness or athletic ability, Anjie is now unable to meet the requirements of the NBA.

The current center is too slow. Divac remembered the four major centers who were competing with him in the past. Which one of them did not have both physical fitness and athletic ability? An Jie wants to be easy to play in the NBA, but Divac is by no means short-sighted. He wants An Jie to be successful in the NBA, not just being able to play.

The boring equipment training, the uninteresting nutrition package, and the naked and hand-to-hand combat with Divac every day, Anjie’s life seems not much easier than when the game started, except for the beautiful girl of Chinese and American mixed blood who can occasionally give him life. Apart from bringing a hint of brilliance, An Jie’s daily life is almost the same as hell.

Along with Anjie’s never-ending training pace, this season’s NCAA March Madness Championship has finally come to an end. They eliminated Anjie and their UCLA did not win the championship as they wished. They met the University of Memphis led by Derek Rose in the semi-finals.

Kevin Love, who had a brilliant battle with the University of Memphis, played abnormally, scoring only 12 points on 4 of 12 shots. Westbrook did not expect that he would have the opportunity to face the No. 1 candidate directly. In order to prove himself, he madly challenged Rose, just like he once madly attacked An Jie.

The peak match between Westbrook and Derek Rose was very exciting. Westbrook scored 22 points and Derrick Rose scored 23 points. The two played inextricably and they met each other. But another defender at the University of Memphis, D.C. Roberts, scored 32 points and ruined the UCLA championship dream.

NCAA March Madness Finals, Derrick Rose lived up to expectations and led the team here. His opponent is the University of Kansas from the Big Twelve League.

The University of Kansas relied on its excellent integrity to pass all the way through and finally reached the final as the top seeded team of the Big Twelve.

Everyone expects Rose to win the NCAA championship, win the MOP, and then enter the NBA as the top pick. This is simply a perfect script.

However, the University of Kansas played the role of this villain. They personally destroyed the dreams of Derrick Rose and countless fans.

The stubborn resistance of the University of Kansas dragged the game into overtime with Chalmers’ three-pointer at the buzzer before the end.

In the overtime game, the University of Kansas went all out and won the exhausted No. 1 candidate, and unexpectedly won the NCAA March Madness Championship. Chalmers was also shockingly selected as the MOP.

In fact, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that the University of Kansas is well deserved to win the championship. Although there is no bright star on their team like Derrick Rose, every position is balanced and everyone can stand up.

The Tornado team is very lucky. At least they have played against the NCAA champion this season, and they have also caused a lot of trouble for the other side.

Looking at the picture of the University of Kansas winning the championship, An Jie was deeply moved, but he was also convinced, who had let them lose to the University of Kansas.

Too many things have happened this season, and An Jie’s life has been completely rewritten. The old page has been turned, and the new one has just begun to be written.
