The Way of the Center

Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia, is located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. ΩΩ『Because of its extraordinary strategic significance, this city is also known as the "Key of the Balkans."

The important geographical location has become a weapon for attracting tourists and politicians, and of course it has also achieved its sadness. Since the day the city was born, bombing and destruction have been devastating this land. But every time, Belgrade was able to stand up again stubbornly.

The soft and faint sunlight in the early morning has made this rugged ancient city delicate, and a couple is walking hand in hand on the bridge across the Sava River. A moving guitar melody came from the bar by the river, which also awakened the owner of a vintage-style mansion next to the bar.

Opening the window and taking a deep breath of the breeze from the Sava River, Divac instantly felt a lot more energetic.

The quiet pedestrian street downstairs and the melodious swirling music made him really like the city. Divac's love for the city made him move from his hometown of Priepoli without hesitation.

"What's Sophia today?" Divac looked at the dazzling sunlight, and winter seemed to be about to pass.

"Number 1." The woman who was still curled up on the bed answered her husband's question gently.

"March 1st?" Divac took out his cell phone. He didn't want to take pictures of the beautiful sunrise, but entered the official website of nBa.

"The best player in the Western Conference of the nBa League in February, Pau Gasol, averaged..."

"No, not this, best rookie, oh, here!" Divac clicked on the option of the month's best rookie on his phone.

After waiting for the unreachable mobile network to read it for a while, the entire page was slowly displayed.

"The nBa rookie in the Eastern Conference in February, Brook Lopez. The rookie in the Western Conference, Angel."

"Two centers? Haha, it's rare to see them." Divac smiled relievedly. The two centers occupied their respective best rookies in the east and west. Most importantly, his disciple An Jie was one of them. One. Early in the morning, Divac was in a good mood by the news.

Averaged 23.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 2.3 blocks per game. An Jie's personal data for February is absolutely unmatched by any rookie. Lopez, elected in the East, averaged only 16.8 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Coupled with the Thunder's excellent record of 13 games and 1o win in February, Anjie's Rookie of the Month award is completely deserved. Divac even thinks that Anjie's performance is no problem for being elected as the Player of the Month.

However, it has been very difficult to cut the rookie of the month in the strong West.

The first text message Anjie received after waking up early in the morning was not a blessing from others, but an official text message from Nike.

"Mr. An, congratulations on winning the award for the best rookie in the Western Conference in February. According to the award clause in the contract, the $50,000 bonus has been credited to your account. Please check it carefully."

"Yeah!" Anjie exclaimed in excitement, raising his arms, of course, not because of the 50,000 dollars, but because he finally got his wish.

After winning the prize, the first person to call was naturally Meslav. There is no doubt that although Rookie of the Month is only a small award, as long as the award is awarded, no matter how big or small it is, a bunch of commercial contracts will follow.

It was the shooting of the commercial, the invitation to the banquet, and the appointment of the interview. An Jie had just got up, and he was dizzy again after hearing this long list of arrangements.

"Could you get rid of some Mr. Meslav, such as the dinner hosted by the rich man in Oklahoma City tonight, I don't have to go to this kind of thing." As long as it is an event that will take up his extra training time, An Jie Du was very resistant.

"What rich man!? Mr. Ebanks is the deputy mayor of Oklahoma City! It doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with this kind of guy!"

"But attending the evening banquet takes up my extra training time. As you know, Mr. Meslav, the quality of training is the guarantee of the quality of the game, and the quality of the game is the guarantee of this contract." An Jie deliberately took up these things. Pull to the top of business.

"It's okay, don't come here with me, really don't want to go?" Isn't Meslav ignorant of Anjie's small abacus, although he is a manager, everything should be based on customer requirements.

"Hey, you just talk to the vice mayor, just saying that I have to prepare for the game, I think he can understand it." When Moslav saw through, An Jie didn't continue to whistle around.

"Okay, I will try my best to push you off, and you should pay attention to your own practice." This is the first time Meslav has met such a hard-working player. This kind of drunken banquet is what countless players expect. But An Jie is not interested in this kind of thing. Basketball basketball, even if An Jie has a millionaire, he only has basketball in his mind.

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

Giardina and her manager Abrahi just boarded the plane at the moment. There was still an arrangement for the little girl tonight to decline the invitation of Oklahoma City Deputy Mayor Ebanks, but I heard that Ann After Jie was also on the invitation list, Giardina's attitude suddenly changed by 18 degrees, clamoring that Abraxi would make arrangements for her as soon as possible.

"What's worth attending a dinner in such a small place? Originally, we were going to discuss with the editor-in-chief of Vogue today about shooting the cover. Is this dinner more important than the 6 "Vogue"?" "Vogue" magazine It is the most famous fashion magazine brand in the United States and even in the world. Being on the cover of the magazine and publishing columns on it will undoubtedly greatly enhance Giardina's popularity.

Abrahi didn't know that the reason that made the young queen give up the cover of the magazine and ran to Oklahoma City not far away was because a Chinese athlete who played in nBa.

"Oh, didn't you also say that it is very important to have a good relationship with politicians. If we refuse Mr. Ebanks' invitation, it would be rude." Giardina made a pitiful gesture to his manager. Like, Abraxi looked at her expression, feeling that his heart was about to melt.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I heard that you are coming to Oklahoma City, and their local professional sports team has invited you. I hope you can sing the national anthem before the game tomorrow night." Meslav said. Mail on the personal computer assistant, business activities can be carried out anywhere, although only to attend the dinner, but the accessories are equally rich.

"What professional sports team?" Giardina looked forward to it.

"A nBa team, don't you say that you want to continue to establish cooperation with nBa? It seems to be called...Thunder, yes, the Oklahoma City Thunder." Although Abrahi is a well-experienced entertainment The manager of the circle, but he knows nothing about sports circles. Abrahi had no idea what kind of team the Oklahoma City Thunder is.

"Hurry up and promise them!" Giardina got excited, Oklahoma City Thunder, isn't it the same team that Angel is on?

The roar after dunking, the focus after holding the ball, the smile after victory, Anjie's expressions came to Giardina's mind again.

When Giardina appeared at the banquet punctually in a pure white tight-waisted long skirt full of expectations, she did not show the eastern boy.

An Jie's height can definitely be found at a glance, no matter what the occasion, if you can't see it, there is only one possibility, An Jie never came!

"Oh Miss Giardina, you are so beautiful today. Andrew Garfield, I am willing to help you." Andrew Garfield, a young actor who has just emerged, politely appeared in front of Giardina.

"Thank you for the compliment." Giardina responded with a smile, and his sweet smile made Garfield's heart beat.

Giardina did not embarrass the handsome golden man just out of courtesy. She didn't care about Garfield's call up at all. Giardina looked around again and found a guy who had a close relationship with Anjie, Russell Westbrook!

"I can ask you to jump..." Before Garfield finished speaking, Giardina walked straight to Westbrook. Garfield was the only one left, standing awkwardly holding his glass.

"Is it Mr. Russell Westbrook?" Looking at the big man in weird dress, Giardina stepped forward in embarrassment.

Westbrook turned his head in a pink suit, but he couldn't tell the name of the girl in front of him. He knows he must have seen this girl, but who is she?

"Miss, are you?"

"Tiffany Giardina, nice to meet you." Giardina stretched out his hand to Westbrook.

"Oh, I remember, Phoenix All-Star, the singer who sings the national anthem in the rookie game, it's you." Westbrook laughed casually. The athletes and people in the entertainment circle are really different, Westbrook. Although his behavior is not as formal and polite as Garfield, Giardina feels very relaxed.

"Your singing voice is great. I heard that the management will invite another singer to sing the national anthem tomorrow. Isn't it you again?"

"Don't you want to hear me sing again?" Giardina was also infected by Westbrook's extroversion, completely let go of his idol baggage, and humorously responded to Westbrook's question.

"Of course not, seeing you come to the scene, I guess that group of guys will definitely fight very hard." Westbrook smirked.

"By the way, are you the only one for the team to attend this dinner?" Abrahi’s intelligence will never go wrong. An Jie did not appear here. There must be a reason. Giardina accidentally asked for a question, but it’s OK. Let her know the movement of the eastern tower.

"Of course not. Originally, the mayor invited me and coach Van Gundy to participate in ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but Coach Van Gundy insisted on working in the gym, so he declined the mayor's invitation. By the way, my good buddy, do you know He just won the Rookie of the Month award. He was invited originally, and I still wanted to have fun with him, but the guy was a workaholic just like the coach. He also declined Ebanks. Mr.'s invitation, I guess he is still training in the gym now. "Westbrook is already a very hard-working player, but compared to Anjie, he is still ashamed.

"Really? It would be great if everyone could come." Giardina smiled forcefully, and sure enough, his expectations fell through.

It doesn't matter, tomorrow I will go to the Chesapeake Energy Arena to sing and watch the football. In the face of the game, it is impossible for you not to show up yet.

Thinking of this, Giardina felt better again.

Originally, there was only a girl in Ames thinking about Anjie day and night, but now, there seems to be one more person thinking about Anjie.

Of course, An Jie didn't know anything about these things. He raised his hand again to shoot the basket and completed his extra training mission of 100oo mid-shot. Tomorrow's game, he will once again face the long-term inside man who makes a living by shooting, the "German Chariot" Dirk Lowitzki! (To be continued.) 8
