The Way of the Center

If Anjie heard this news, he would be very happy. ??? Not just because “Big Dream” really paid close attention to him, but because this matter was related to training.

Originally, Meslav arranged all the things in the United States in June and July, and then he could enjoy a rare vacation in Barcelona. Unexpectedly, the tree is very popular, and now someone takes the initiative to find An Jie without him. And the person who came to the door was actually a legend like Olajuwon.

When Anjie came to Ames with his parents and Morris, a call from Meslav surprised him. It stands to reason that Meslav should be on vacation now. Could it be that he invited himself to Barcelona to play?

“Where are you now? Why can’t I get through the phone?”

“I was on the plane just now, and now I am in Ames. Didn’t you tell me to hurry up and rest, I broke my plan and came back early.” When I came back, Ames was really regarded as the second place by An Jie. home.

“Listen, you are waiting for me in Ames. I have a very important thing to discuss with you.” Listening to Meslav’s tone, could it be a business of millions of dollars?

“Is it a big contract again? Or is there something wrong with the team?” This season has just ended, what can be important things?

“Did Craig Sager tell you that Dameng has been following you for a long time.”

“Yes, I did. But, can Olajuwon do business with me? Does he create a sports brand and want me to endorse it? But we have signed with Nike.” An Jie still can’t do business with me. Olajuwon is associated with the words “very important things”.

“Don’t worry, although this time there is a bit of commercial operation, you are definitely interested.”

“Really? Come and listen, Mr. Meslav, how exactly Olajuwon is going to cooperate with me.” Seeing Anjie’s excited expression, the three people going straight with him were all guessing what the call was going on. What happened.

“Hakim Olajuwon, he officially invites you to go to his training camp for training.” A simple sentence shocked Anjie.

“Attention, it is an invitation. There are countless players who come to the Olajuwon training camp to make up lessons every summer, but there are very few people who have made significant progress. This makes the big dream training camp’s recent reputation not very good. Olajuwon Invite you to participate in training, and only charge half of the fee. He thinks that you have the potential to learn his low-level skills, which can be regarded as a good name for himself. After all, Hakim is not short of your tens of thousands of dollars, but if the reputation of the training camp is really too It’s stinky, he might have to close the door and face the floor.” Moslav explained it and made An Jie figure it out.

“Big dream…invite me to participate in training…” Although Divac is a European flag, his prestige is not too high in the entire basketball world. But Hakim Olajuwon, that’s a living center legend!

“If you want to choose a center in the best team in history, I will ignore Shaq and Patrick Ewing and many others, and choose Olajuwon.” This is the man called “God” against Austria. Rajuwon’s evaluation.

During Jordan’s first retirement, Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O’Neal and Dikembe Mutombo were called the top five centers. In the era of enemy Rulin, Olajuwon beat the remaining four centers and led the Rockets to two consecutive championships.

In the golden age of the center, Olajuwon became the giant at the top.

It is such a legend, a living fossil who is familiar with low-level skills, and now has actually invited An outstandingly.

“But…” An Jie still couldn’t associate himself with these names that only existed in the altar.

“I will arrange for you to meet him in the next few days, and Da Meng will explain it to you in person.”

“It’s just these few days…are you anxious?” Happiness came so suddenly that An Jie was not ready yet.

“If nothing else, Dameng will invite you to watch a playoff game. After all, whether you can be the one who helped him reshape his signature, you will have to go through his “interview” to know.” Ou Rajuwon did not accept Anjie for money, unlike others, who can join the training camp after paying the money. If Anjie fails to meet Olajuwon’s expectations, then Olajuwon will not waste time in vain.

After a long time, An Jie hung up the phone. His parents and Morris stared at him curiously.

“Is it Catherine? You’re all in Ames, do you still need to make such a long call?” Morris waved in front of An Jie who was staying.

Suddenly, Anjie grabbed Morris’ hand and yelled excitedly. “Hakim is going to guide my low-level skills!”

“Damn! You let go! Are you crazy! Who!? Hakim!? Olajuwon!” As he listened, Morris also grew his mouth in surprise.

“That’s right! It’s a big dream! He invited me to participate in his training camp!” It was dreamy that Divac was willing to be his center coach at the beginning, and now there is another Olajuwon to make An Jieyi. Unexpectedly.

The two outstanding centers are willing to guide An Jie for one reason. They see potential in An Jie.

Divac believes that Anjie can be the next excellent organization center, the next king of diving, and a traditional center who can inherit his mantle.

And Olajuwon, through his observations from game to game, felt that maybe this Asian is the one who can learn his low post skills well. When the reputation of his training camp is getting worse and worse, teaching a good student will undoubtedly break all doubts.

Excited, An Jie was dragged into a taxi. Instead of looking for a hotel, they directly asked the driver to drive to the door of the bearded Chinese restaurant.

When Catherine and Anjie finally met, they both stared at each other for a few seconds, and then hugged each other affectionately.

“You have grown stronger again.” Catherine hugged the big boy tightly, and Catherine could feel every change in Angel’s body.

“I’m back. I said I would come back. I said it a year ago.” Anjie closed his eyes and enjoyed the faint fragrance from Catherine.

Anjie’s parents and Catherine’s father just smiled and watched their two children silently. After all, who wouldn’t want to see their children happy?

As before, the Tornado teammates, freshman roommates, George Ricard, these are the people Anjie must meet.

When Peggy came back last time, it was still invisible that there were children in Peggy’s stomach, but now, Peggy, who has a big belly, has not been a few months away from childbirth.

“Don’t bother you, Ms. Peggy.” Seeing Anjie and Morris came home, Peggy insisted on making snacks for them himself. There are many housewives who do not go to work in the United States, and Peggy is one of them. Making snacks has also become her daily hobby.

This time Catherine also came to visit with Anjie. After seeing Peggy’s craftsmanship, Catherine also became very interested in making snacks.

In the end, the two women made a small plate of cookies, but some of them were very mushy and had a special “personality” in shape.

You don’t need to ask, those biscuits are Catherine’s masterpieces.

Even the bearded father cannot pass on the craftsmanship to his daughter. Catherine’s talent for cooking and dim sum and other foods can also be said to be close to zero.

The happy and relaxing days are still short, and Anjie also borrows the training ground of the Tornado team to continue to train for himself every day. Only now, there is a golden girl sitting on the sidelines every day, looking at the sturdy figure on the basketball court.

On April 23, Anjie’s parents returned to China, and Anjie and Meslav had to board the plane to Houston and met with Hakim Olajuwon.

“The luxury box of the Toyota Center on the 24th, Mr. Olajuwon is there to invite you to watch the game.” This is what Dameng’s assistant sent to Meslav two days ago. On the 24th, the Rockets and the Trail Blazers playoffs in the third round of the first round, is also the day Olajuwon decided to meet Anjie.

………………..

“Huh, how do I look.” The entire Toyota Center is already boiling. Although the game has not yet started, this is the first time in the series to return to the Rockets’ home court, so the Rockets fans also cheered the most. Cheer up their players.

An Jie was standing outside the luxurious box in a white suit, while Olajuwon was inside at the moment. This slightly nervous 20-year-old boy tidyed up his tie and asked Meslav who was in the same suit and shoes the question.

“You look great, relax. You have already played against one of the five major centers. They are all ordinary people. You don’t have to be so nervous.” Moslav said and helped Anjie pat the suit. On the dust.

“That’s right, don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous.” Thinking of another easy-going legend O’Neill, Anjie’s nervousness instantly calmed down a lot.

“Boom, boom, boom.” After a knock on the door, the waiter helped Anjie and Moslav to push open the pure wooden door of the luxurious box. Compared with the luxurious boxes in the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the boxes in the Toyota Center are simply more magnificent.

An Jie took a deep breath and stepped into the box. A slender black man stood facing An Jie at the moment, with a smile on his face. Yes, this black man in a black suit is the “big dream” Olajuwon!

“You are finally here.” Olajuwon didn’t have any celebrity pretense, he took the initiative to meet him and shook hands with Anjie.

“It is my honor to see you, Mr. Olajuwon.” Seeing Olajuwon so easy-going, Anjie gradually relaxed.

“Sit down, the game will start soon. Mr. Meslav, you too.”

The three of them sat on the leather sand of the luxurious box. Underneath, Yao Ming had already started jumping the ball with Oden.

During this period, nothing was born, and the three men chatted without a word until the third quarter of the game.

Oden is holding the ball at the moment, and facing Yao Ming’s defense, this “champion man” has nothing to do. In terms of strength and tonnage, he is no match for Yao Ming. He wanted to use his footsteps to get out of the opportunity, but Oden didn’t have that ability.

“If this ball were you, what would you do?” Finally, Olajuwon asked Anjie a question about basketball!

“Me?” Talking about basketball, Anjie broke the barrier between him and Olajuwon.

Anjie immediately imagined it and put himself in Oden’s position. What would he do if he faced Yao Ming in this situation.

“Be back first.”

Hearing what Anjie said, Olajuwon frowned. “But your strength and weight can’t be compared with Yao. Look at Oden now, his back hitting doesn’t work at all.”

“Oden’s back hit really wants to rely on this to go into the penalty area, and I chose to back hit just to confuse the opponent. It is virtual and real, one time with fierce force, one time with weak force, so Yao can’t guess my next move. “

An Jie kept fiddling with his hands, and then continued to talk. “After that, I will choose the next move based on Yao’s center of gravity and changes in stance.”

“Then what if Yao is still motionless?” Olajuwon broke Anjie’s vision.

“If he still doesn’t move, I will move first. Turning to the bottom line and making a false hook, Yao can’t ignore it at this time. If he moves, I immediately turn in the opposite direction, his steps are not mine. Hurry up, I should be able to get a chance this time. If he is still defended by him, then after I have done so many actions, the Rockets’ formation is bound to shrink, and there may even be a double-team situation. At that time, my Teammates have a chance.” As soon as An Jie finished speaking, Oden’s forced layup was fanned out by Yao Ming.

Olajuwon immediately applauded, but didn’t know if it was for Yao Ming’s cover or Anjie’s answer.

After the game, Olajuwon also asked Anjie a lot of questions about the game. However, after Anjie answered, he did not make any comments. The second meeting of the three came to an end under this rhythm.

In the end, the Rockets also narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers by a score of 86 to 83, and once again took the lead in the series.

When Anjie and Moslav left the box ~www.wuxiax.com~Olajuwon finally smiled. At this moment, the assistant of Olajuwon who had seen Anjie off walked in.

“How about that kid?” The assistant sat beside Da Meng casually. Olajuwon was actually not as serious as Anjie thought.

“I’m surprised. Many of his thoughts on the court are very similar to me back then! There are still a few insiders who are willing to rely on technology to solve inside problems? They are more willing to use that abnormal body to handle everything! I think I didn’t find the wrong man this time, I didn’t find the wrong one.”

“The Olajuwon training class is the most watery basketball training camp.”

“The Big Dream Training Camp is just a mere illusion.”

“How many people have entered the camp with an expensive price of five million dollars a week, but do you know who got promoted after training!? Only a handful!

All these questions about Olajuwon seemed to be on the verge of losing their feet. Because Anjie has successfully passed the interview and has officially become Olajuwon’s best disciple candidate.

An Jie’s busy summer has just begun. (To be continued.) 8
