The Way of the Center

California, Los Angeles. The huge Staples Center, this is the place where Anjie always dreamed of coming. Now, he really stood inside the Staples Center, sweating profusely.

An Jie did not see his idol, nor did he see the color of purple and gold. He was standing in the three-second zone of Staples Arena, panting, and the Los Angeles Clippers player wearing a white home jersey from the outside made another shot.

"Eric Gordon! A three-pointer!" In the last 49 seconds of the game, the Clippers o8 rookie Eric Gordon scored a crucial goal that gave the team a five-point lead at the last minute. People are now talking about Westbrook, about Derrick Rose, about OJ Mayo, and even the 12th overall pick An Jie, and his seventh overall pick is rarely mentioned. .

Today, in the face of Anjie and Westbrook who are in the limelight, Eric Gordon made a big explosion without warning. 12 of 19 shots, 12 of 14 free throws, 5 of 6 three-pointers, the true shooting percentage was as high as 84%! Eric Gordon has scored 41 points so far! Such scoring data is something the above-mentioned people have never obtained!

After the goal, Gordon received cheers from the entire Staples Center. At this moment, he is the king of Staples. Although the Clippers have always been ridiculed as the "Los Angeles Second Team", at least today, all fans are crazy for the Clippers, and all fans are obsessed with Eric Gordon.

"Unbelievable game! The o8 level rookie is really surprising! Derrick Rose has become the hope of Chicagoans. Kevin Love has won the main position with double-double performances, oJ Mayo has become synonymous with superstars in Memphis, while Westbrook and Angel are assisting Durant to make the playoffs. Now! Eric Gordon has captured everyone’s attention with 41 points. It’s all focused on him, and he wants to prove that the Rookie of the Year competition also has his share!" Mike Brin enjoyed it very much. This year, I can clearly feel the superstars in the league such as Iverson. We are getting old, a generation led by James is gradually taking over the league, and Anjie and the others have formed a new force that cannot be ignored! The entire alliance has already begun to change dynasties.

Jeff Van Gundy can only complain about God’s injustice to him in his heart. Damien Wilkins’ defense has absolutely no flaws, but it’s a pity that Gordon can score the ball anyway today. It’s unreasonable. !

In the last 49 seconds, Westbrook pushed forward quickly. The Thunder are now five points behind, and all the pressure is on them.

Durant raised his hand for the ball after a reverse run. At this moment, An Jie could not catch up. Westbrook passed by himself and Durant got the basketball as he wished.

"Kevin Durant's mid-range shot! No! The Thunder missed the opportunity!"

Just when everyone was desperate, Russell Westbrook suddenly jumped up and grabbed an offensive rebound in the chaotic interior. Without even thinking about it, Westbrook immediately layup on the spot, but under the interference of many Clippers players, the ball bumped and fell out.

"Angel! He stands out from the crowd! Highly offensive rebounds! Another chance for the Thunder!"

In the face of a restricted area full of people, Anjie didn't have the brains to attack himself like Westbrook, and his calm pass gave Durant a chance again from beyond the three-point line!

"Hey!" Durant's open three-pointer still didn't make it! An Jie took off again, this time he didn't catch the ball, but made it up directly!

"Nice tipping, An Jie pulled the Thunder back from the edge of the cliff."

With a three-point gap, 38 seconds, everything is still inconclusive!

With the Clippers’ offense, everyone undoubtedly focused all their attention on Eric Gordon. However, Gordon, who played with confidence, faced Wilkins' tight defense and boldly pulled up and shot.

"Can this goal still be scored!? No! If this goal is scored, it would be incredible! Although Gordon's performance in front is dreamy enough. This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Thunder team. Can the Thunder three kill the game!" Mike Brin has put all his emotions into the intense game.

With ten seconds left in the game, Durant held the ball again after borrowing the pick and roll! It's not that he has never finished the lore, but this time he has a little lack of confidence.

"Durant continued to strike at the last minute! He failed to stand up when the Thunder needed him most!"

Sure enough, Durant's key ball was missed again. Fortunately, An Jie was still stuck and grabbed an offensive rebound again!

An Jie’s old opponent, DeAndre Jordan, immediately put pressure on An Jie, as long as he did not let An Jie score 2+1, he would complete the task.

Indeed, now there is not much time left, the Thunder is useless to take a two-pointer, not to mention that Anjie can't guarantee that his shot will definitely bring the team two points, they need a three-pointer!

With only five seconds left, An Jie boldly passed the ball, and this time the end point became Westbrook.

Westbrook took the ball and shot it, and he seemed to be a bit hasty in his shot when he was nervous, as if he could not control his movements well.

"Oh! The Thunder's ability to finish at critical moments is too weak! They got a lot more chances than the Clippers, but they couldn't grasp it once!" Yes, Westbrook's three-pointer was also framed. Out.

This time, Anjie didn't even have a chance to grab a rebound. When the basketball began to fall, the game officially ended. The Thunder's three minors failed to kill the game, and their lack of ability to handle the ball at the critical moment allowed them to kill themselves.

Staples Center, where Anjie dreamed of coming. Now, the audience is full of deafening cheers. The L.A. fans are famous for their fussiness. However, at this moment, all of them are crazy for the performance of Eric Gordon, a first-year rookie. .

When arriving in Los Angeles, Anjie did not expect that he would leave as a loser.

Anjie only scored 11 points in this game, and Westbrook only scored three points more than Anjie. Westbrook made only 4 of 13 shots, and his poor shooting percentage was the main reason for his low score today. But Anjie’s low score was not because of anything else, it was because Durant really took up too many shots today. He and Eric Gordon had soaring points. Durant was very good. It is easy to fall into the rhythm of competing with others.

With 39 points, Durant neither failed to win against Gordon, nor did the Thunder failed to win the Clippers, the former defeat. Jeff Van Gundy couldn't help it either. At the last moment, he had no choice but to rely on these three slightly frizzy young people.

Eric Gordon did not say hello to Angel and Westbrook after the game, but looked at the two with a smug look. The two guys' scores today are only more than half of his. The best rookie in the West in December? Rookie of the year ranked second? Gordon suppressed these two guys in just one game!

Before the game, everyone looked down on the Clippers, because the Thunder showed strong in January. But now, Eric Gordon has responded powerfully to others' contempt.

The reporters surrounded Eric Gordon, and Kevin Durant was surrounded by a few, but it was rare for Anjie and Westbrook to meet anyone who came to entangle him.

Just when Angel was about to walk into the player tunnel, a guy with thick glasses pulled Angel in.

"Ann! Can it take up some of your time?" An Jie turned his head. He had never seen this reporter before.

"I'm Kenny Kambiak, a reporter for the Mosek Entertainment newspaper."

Mosek Entertainment News? An Jie has never heard of this media, are they really sports media?

"Excuse me, Miss Catherine Watsonlyn, is it really your girlfriend?" The reporter with glasses asked a question that had nothing to do with the exciting game.

"What!?" Anjie frowned suddenly, how did they know Catherine!

"Uh...Is Miss Catherine Watson really your girlfriend?" This reporter interviewed an athlete for the first time, and he was startled by Angel's serious expression.

An Jie did not answer, but turned around and ran back to the locker room. The team lost An Jie has been lost enough, and now he seems to think something worse has happened.

"Hey An, what's the matter with you?" Westbrook saw An Jie hurriedly open the locker room and took out his phone, very puzzled.

Anjie made a call to Catherine, and it was connected within a few seconds.

"Ann, now the school is full of reporters, I don't know how to get out." On the phone, Catherine spoke first.

"Don't panic, ask your father to pick you up, it's really impossible. I'll call Morris and the others to take you out!" This is exactly what Anjie is worried about. Catherine is a serious girl and his rightful girlfriend. It stands to reason that there is nothing shameful about such a thing being announced.

Indeed, there is nothing shameful about this, but An Jie is not worried about this, but that after the relationship between the two of them is announced, Catherine's peaceful and happy life will be broken in one fell swoop!

Facing reporters' questioning ~www.NovelMTL.com~ round-ups all the time, the paparazzi at the door of the house, living in the spotlight, does not make people feel relaxed, it will only make people more tired, always pay attention to their own Words and deeds. An Jie and Catherine both hope that she can finish her school safely, and then go to An Jie in a low-key manner. But now, the two men's plans have been completely disrupted.

Most American girls are eager to stick to an nBa player, and since then they have lived a life of high visibility and high income. However, Catherine pursued simple peace. She hopes she can still go to her own restaurant after school, she hopes to watch An Jie's game silently in her small room, and she hopes to go shopping unscrupulously with her friends. But now, Catherine is also considered half a public figure.

There is only one question in An Jie's mind now, who announced the news.

The only reporter who knew about the relationship between An Jie and Catherine was Wu Hua. An Jie started to think and immediately cancelled Wu Hua's suspicion. If Wu Hua wanted to, he would have announced the news long ago instead of waiting until now. Who can it be?

The reporter that An Jie didn't know, now relying on him, has already made a lot of money. (To be continued.) 8
