The Way of the Center

Chapter 117: : Days are like years

This year, David Stern was finally very compassionate. On the first day of the new year, there were no matches in the entire nBa league, and the players also had a rare opportunity to celebrate the new year.

Although the players are given a day off, the nBa statisticians must work non-stop. The best rookie of the month in the East and the West, which has caught Anjie's most attention, will also announce the attribution of his award today.

The Eastern Conference is still Derrick Rose's undoubtedly defending title. The No. 1 pick has taken all the rookie of the month for a whole season. This kind of thing is not unborn. In the East, few people seem to be able to compete with Derek Rose. Although Brook Lopez performed well, he still couldn't compare with Rose's strength.

The situation in the West is much more tragic, o.J. Mayo, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love, and of course Westbrook and Angel of the Thunder. The competition between these people made the statisticians dilemma, but due to the team's performance, the officials still set their sights on Angel and Westbrook.

So on the morning of the first day, An Jie couldn't wait to pick up his mobile phone after waking up, and went to the official website of nBa, and skillfully found the page that announced the month's best rookie. After seeing the results, Anjie was both happy and disappointed.

Disappointed that Anjie missed this award again, and happy that his good buddy Westbrook was crowned successfully. And the man who ranked second behind Westbrook in the Western Conference's Rookie of the Years is Anjie.

Although Anjie frequently cut double-doubles and quasi-triple-doubles, Anjie is indeed lower than Westbrook in scoring. In December, Westbrook repeatedly beat Durant to become the highest scoring person in the game, but Westbrook's rebounds and assists are far behind Anjie, which is also the reason why statisticians are in a dilemma. After struggling for a while, nBa chose Westbrook to win the award.

Pat Riley will definitely regret seeing this list, because his chosen "America's No. 1 Genius" Michael Beasley does not even have a figure on the list. In contrast, the Thunder, their rookies directly ranked No. The first and the second are all taken care of.

"Come on, Ann, it will be you next time." Westbrook thought that the winner would be An Jie, so when he saw his name, he was a little surprised. Although he scored more, Anjie's data is more comprehensive.

"Come on Russell, let's pack the rest of the best rookies of the season." An Jie doesn't really care who can win, as long as he and Westbrook are one of them.

Good things happen at the beginning of the new year. Anjie and Westbrook have already gathered up enough energy to prepare for a big fight. Unexpectedly, the Nuggets led by Carmelo Anthony gave him the two and the entire Thunder team. Hit the head.

On January 2, 2oo9, the first game day of the nBa new year, the Denver Nuggets attacked the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Perhaps just winning the Warriors made the lads a little bit overwhelmed. In this game, everyone had offense in their heads, and Van Gundy’s emphasis on defense was left behind by most people.

Against Carmelo Anthony, Durant went crazy even more. His singles with the ball increased, but his previous coordination with each other was relatively reduced.

Faced with James' poor performance, he was commented by the media as a soft guy who would only bully the weak, so in this game against Anthony, Durant is eager to prove himself.

He succeeded, 33 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. This data is better than Melon's 31 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists, but he also failed because the Thunder was beaten by Anthony at the last moment.

Although Anthony scored a lot, he did not disrupt the Nuggets' system. Chauncey Billups scored 24 points, and Nene scored 15 points under Anjie's guard.

Durant’s crazy shots made other people unable to find the rhythm. For example, Westbrook, who just received the Rookie of the Month award before the game, only scored 11 points in this game, even Dammy. En. Wilkins, the defensive guy, scores higher than Westbrook.

As for An Jie, the temperature dropped sharply after Oklahoma entered January, and An Jie, who was hot all over after training, walked out of the gym without wearing less clothes. As a result, An Jie had a low fever since the night of the 1st.

He didn't give up the game when he was unwell, but he didn't take it seriously when warming up. This caused him to sprain his ankle inadvertently during a fast-paced and high-intensity confrontation with the Denver "Track and Field".

First, the head, then the ankles, everyone is worried about An Jie's health. It was clearly stated that he would no longer leave the team and leave early, but in the end it turned out to be this kind of ending.

Looking at the swollen ankle An Jie was also very scared, but fortunately, after the examination, An Jie's injury was the same as Tony Parker, just a normal sprain, and his joints and bones were completely healthy.

122 to 12o, Anthony's fatal blow caused the Nuggets to retreat from Oklahoma. Van Gundy officially notified Anjie that he would not want to play for the next week.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. From the first ncaa confrontation against Michael Beasley until now, Anjie has never missed any game, and he has maintained a good attendance rate all the time.

But it’s impossible for a player who is a hard-hitting player to miss a whole career. The sprain is just a minor injury. The one-week injury period is very short for professional players. Think about Morris and Anjie’s week. The injuries are almost negligible. Anjie also knew that Van Gundy didn't take the player's health and adventurous character, so he had no choice but to accept the instructions of a truce and recuperate.

In the next few days, Anjie was only allowed to do upper body strength training, and then practiced spot shots under the gaze of Jeff Van Gundy 360 degrees without blind spots, and still kept his feet on the ground.

No more practice, no running and jumping. After An Jie cut off his time playing basketball in his life, he realized that his day was so boring. No way, family and friends are not around, Catherine is also far away from herself, and the Thunder teammates are busy training, An Jie just wants to go out and can't find anyone with her.

But after only one day, An Jie wished he could have more boring time.

Seeing that Anjie was injured, Moslav was not idle. Various commercial activities and advertising shots that did not affect the injury made Anjie feel that he is now more tired than playing.

There is no way, nBa is not only a sports field, but also a commercial field. Meslav’s task is to make Anjie earn every dollar bill into his pocket as much as possible. But of course, all this comes at a price.

On January 6, the Thunder played against the Knicks at home, and Anjie also sat on the team's bench for the first time in a suit and leather suit. By this time Anjie's ankle had already disappeared and he was able to move around freely, but Van Gundy still told him to sit on the bench obediently and watch.

Therefore, in this game, An Jie has become the most active person on the bench for the Thunder. Every time a teammate on the field completes a wonderful goal, An Jie will use all kinds of exaggerated moves to cheer for his teammate.

An Jie's shouting was not in vain. In the face of the New York Knicks, who are now unable to recover, the Thunder will not let the team embark on a losing streak. 1o7 to 99, the Thunder defeated the weak New Yorker without An Jie.

Seeing Anjie's distress, the old slippery Divac also called to tease. "Now you can get a good salary by sitting on the sidelines and cheering, and you have a full Gatorade drink. You should enjoy this rare relaxing time."

But An Jie is really not the kind of person who can be free. He would rather go to fight the big guys for forty minutes instead of just sitting on the bench and waving the towel.

The next day, An Jie didn't even have the opportunity to wave a towel. The team expedition to Minnesota and once again met with the old rival Timberwolves. And An Jie can only stay in Oklahoma, facing the empty training hall and the team's locker room, An Jie feels as if he is also empty in his heart.

In the past two days, Catherine is very happy, because Anjie has a lot of time to talk to her on the phone or video chat, and now there is no one I know around him, and Anjie's heart needs Catherine's comfort.

After the Thunder returned triumphantly from Minnesota, on January 9th they fought non-stop with the Houston Rockets. Looking at the leisurely An Jie, some of the veteran members of the Thunder were really envious.

An Jie still can only sit on the sidelines in casual clothes, watching Yao Ming do whatever he wants on the court. But the Thunder did not surrender because they lost the inside barrier. On the contrary, their tenacious resistance made the Rockets play very hard.

1oo to 96, the Rockets only beat the Thunder by four points~www.NovelMTL.com~ However, Yao Ming's 26 points and 7 rebounds made Anjie clenched his fists off the court. He wanted to fight, but because the team had to play back-to-back the next day, Van Gundy was not in a hurry to let Anjie come back now, but kept it until tomorrow.

After the game, Yao Ming also asked something about Anjie’s injury. The second Chinese derby failed to be staged. Not only the fans, but even Anjie himself felt very sorry.

One week passed quickly, and of course it was as slow as another year for An Jie. The Thunder have only three games in this week, and they have scored two wins and one loss. This is also considered good luck for the Thunder. Two of the three opponents they encountered during Anjie's injury were not strong.

Looking at the schedule, Anjie can't wait to make a comeback in the next game. In addition to Anjie himself, everyone on the Thunder team and fans are also looking forward to Anjie's appearance again.

On January 1o, the Thunder challenged the Bulls back to back. As soon as the game with the Rockets ended, Anjie took the special plane with the team to Chicago, and he could finally continue to sweat on the court!

Derek Rose, the o8-level champion, is also ready to compete with Westbrook and Anjie! (To be continued.) 8
