The Way of the Center

Chapter 137: Weekend, end

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

"Congratulations, Kevin, you broke the scoring record and won the rookie game MVP trophy. How did you play with such 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 from the game. Fortunately, I made all the shots today." Durant smiled all over his face. This shy big boy did not hide his heart happy feeling.

Durant did not lie, he did not deliberately monopolize the ball for victory and honor. In the game, Durant even sent an alley-oop for Brooks in a funny way, but the latter dunked the ball and failed to complete the performance.

"So, in the league, who do you think is the most terrifying defensive champion?" Durant has undoubtedly become the core of the Thunder, so he often has to be closely defended by the opponent. In fact, under the restraint of Westbrook and Anjie, Durant's offensive pressure this season has been much less.

"There is no doubt that it is Artest!" Durant replied firmly without thinking. "He's so strong and he's so nimble. If you want to score on him, you have to try to get him to follow you a little bit more. But my teammate Anjie can let me play against him. It’s easier to play, and Ann’s passing and pick-and-roll in the game has helped me a lot.”

"This kid can talk!"

"Okay, good teammate!"

Durant's words also attracted many fans in China.

Of course, reporters won't just dwell on Durant. As the best rookie center in the current league, Anjie naturally cannot escape the fate of being rounded up.

"Your teammate won the rookie game MVP award. Do you have anything to say?" A CCTV reporter stretched out the microphone to An Jie, who is 2.19 meters tall.

"I'm happy and proud of Kevin, and you can always play at a higher level when playing with such a guy." An Jie pointed in Durant's direction as he spoke, seeing An Jie's movements After that, Durant also waved in response.

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

"I will continue to work hard and try to one day be able to appear in the Sunday game of the All-Star Weekend." Looking at the photos of the players participating in the All-Star Game hanging on the gymnasium, Anjie's eyes were full of longing. It is not impossible for the Chinese to be selected as All-Stars,

Isn't Yao Ming also a frequent visitor to the All-Star Weekend?

"We all know that you can do it! Work hard in the second half of the season, and I wish you good results!" The reporter of CCTV gave An Jie his best wishes 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 attend tomorrow morning." Giardina's manager Del Abrahi patted the little queen who was sitting blankly in the auditorium.

"Mr. Abrahi, will we have the opportunity 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, have you fallen in love with basketball after 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 going to miss the plane." Abrahi pointed Pointing to his watch, Giardina reluctantly got up from his seat. This 16-year-old young idol would never have imagined that he would have a relationship with basketball ever since.

...................................

The process of the All-Star Weekend continued as usual on the second day. Before the start of the games, Anjie and the others had to participate in the activities of the fans Jia Lianhua.

Due to the relationship between Yao Ming and An Jie, this time Phoenix welcomed a lot of Asian tourists. Yes, not only China, but many basketball fans from South Korea and Japan have come here for these two big guys. The stars are in close contact.

At this time, many fans gathered beside the outdoor basketball court of Fan Jia Lianhua. Because on the field, several NBA players, including An Jie, are competing in a brand new competition.

The H-O-R-S-E competition, this is the first off-site event held by this year's All-Stars. A player chooses a shooting point and shoots in various ways, and the next player must use the same method to complete the goal within 24 seconds. If a player accumulates five successes, he will be the final winner.

There are only three people participating in this off-court competition, namely the "Eagle King" Joe Johnson, the 2008 No. 1 pick Derek Rose, and Angie, who is also a rookie.

Although it is an open-air stadium, the commentary on the sidelines is also indispensable. Chris Webber and "Magic" Johnson are sitting behind the temporary commentary table next to the open-air court at the moment, serving as live commentators for this game. Originally, the NBA wanted to invite Divac, Webber's teammate of the Kings, to the event, but Divac was too busy after becoming a government official, so he missed the opportunity to meet 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 precisely, and the fans around the court immediately let out a huge exclamation.

Derrick Rose followed, but his imitation threw the ball directly behind the backboard. This shot caused the audience to burst into laughter, and Ross scratched his head in embarrassment.

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

After that, the three people's incredible shooting methods made the audience on the sidelines burst into laughter. Under the mobilization of Chris Webber and Johnson, the atmosphere on the scene was also very hot. This place has almost become the most popular place in Jialianhua. A place of welcome.

"A chance for the Chinese big man! An Jie has already scored four goals. If he scores another goal, the victory will belong to him!" Chris Webber shouted into the microphone.

"Yes, let's see what kind of problem Windy City Rose will present to An Jie."

Rose smirked at Anjie, waved back, and signaled the fans around the sidelines to back off.

When the fans vacated the entire half, Rose ran with the ball to only two steps away from the center line.

"Oh, no! He must be targeting Anjie!" Weber's exaggerated and humorous commentary on the sidelines has become a part of the game.

Rose took a shot from two steps inside the halfway line and missed it, but Ainge had to imitate an exact copy and score, or the game would end.

Joe Johnson was the first to try, but the basketball he threw near the center line didn't touch anything, and even hit a fan's head.

"Come on, Chinese!"

"One more and you win!"

When An Jie got the basketball, there were more cheers on the sidelines. An Jie is the closest person to victory at this time, so naturally there are more fans supporting him.

An Jie took two steps to take a look inside the center line. He shook his head helplessly, as if he was really stumped by Rose's question.

Rose was on the sidelines complacently mobilizing the atmosphere, making the audience's cheers continue to increase.

An Jie puts himself in position, grabs the basketball, jumps and shoots!

The basketball flies so fast and flat through the air that it feels like it has no arc at all, and it seems like a doomed attempt. However, what everyone didn't expect was that the basketball thrown by An Jie hit the front of the basket, and then flicked into the air before falling into the net.

"Hohohoho! Fantastic Ann! He just made the first attempt! What else can I say!? The magician called the ambulance, my blood pressure has soared!" Weber exaggeratedly supported The arm of the magician seemed about to fall down at any moment.

An Jie shook his finger at Derek Rose. Of course, this was not provocative. When he did this, he was smiling. And Rose 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 presented the trophy to Anjie, and Anjie 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 placed in the first row as a spectator.

The first row is all for NBA players who are not playing. Like Wade and Howard, their exaggerated "performance" on the sidelines will add a lot to an already exciting game.

But because of this, Catherine and Beard couldn't stay with An Jie.

From the Shooting Star Contest, Skills Challenge, to the most anticipated slam dunk contest at the end, the Thunder's three young masters watched all the competitions on the sidelines talking and laughing.

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

When Nate Robinson, who was only 1.75 meters tall, flew over Howard to complete the dunk, Angie was really taken aback. He stared at the field with his mouth wide open, unable to believe what had just happened.

Nate Robinson's height is not 1.75 meters, which means that his real height is even lower than 1.75 meters! In China, such a height is definitely not related to professional basketball. However, such a guy defeated "Superman" and won the title of NBA Slam Dunk King.

In addition to the wonderful dunk, there are actually many things worthy of reflection in Chinese basketball......

After a crazy night, even though the Thunder's three juniors were only off the court, they felt very tired. Although the All-Star Weekend was psychologically relaxed, physically it was not much easier than during the regular season.

The next day, when the most famous guys in the entire NBA were preparing to perform in Phoenix, the three Thunder had to bid farewell to Phoenix and the All-Star Weekend in the early morning of the day, and returned to Oklahoma to meet with the team. 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 players must start early this morning, and their free time is over.

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

"Have fun with Catherine, we will meet again soon." An Jie patted his girlfriend's head. An Jie has always been guilty of not being able to accompany her well.

"Don't worry about me, the next is the critical moment of hitting the playoffs, you must be careful not to get injured. Some balls can't be grabbed and can't be defended, so don't fight hard." Catherine told An Jie Tidying up his collar, he began to think about it.

Another parting, and another time I don't know when we will meet next time. Catherine has long been used to this kind of love. Seeing An Jie's tall figure disappear at the end of the boarding passage, Catherine finally couldn't hold back her eyes flushed...

The three days of easy time are fleeting, and the next game will become more intense and bloody for the playoffs.

In the west, it is far from easy to climb from tenth to eighth. The teams in front will not give opportunities easily, while the teams behind have been chasing after them. The three thunderbolts must perform better in order to get a ticket to the playoffs! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
