The Way of the Center

"Boom boom boom, swipe. Boom boom boom, swipe." Before reaching the training ground, Van Gundy heard the sound of dribbles and goals coming from inside.

"That guy Durant came so early today?" Van Gundy never expected that Anjie, who is far away in New York, would be the first to appear on the training ground this morning.

"When did you arrive in Oklahoma City?" Van Gundy shouted loudly, interrupting Anjie's movements.

"At six o'clock in the morning, don't worry, I said I'll make up for what's left." An Jie smiled at Van Gundy, and then practiced on his own, not looking tired.

"Tomorrow we have to go to Los Angeles to take the Clippers, and we will fly away this afternoon. Can you survive? We just got off the plane and have to leave." Van Gundy began to worry about Anjie's physical strength.

"No problem, just bite your teeth. Besides, you wouldn't arrange any high-intensity training today." As the season progressed, Van Gundy arranged high-intensity confrontation training fewer and fewer times.

"Kaman is not easy to deal with. The training you owe will be paid another day. Go to the locker room and sleep for a while." Van Gundy knew that running back and forth would consume a lot of physical strength. He didn't even plan to let An Jie make up any training. Isn’t it the purpose of training to perform well in the game? If the players are too exhausted due to training and it is counterproductive, it would be better not to practice.

"but......"

"Don't worry, I'll call you when it's training time, and I won't let you be lazy." Van Gundy waved his hand and urged An Jie to enter the recuperation room before leaving with confidence.

The team started training at ten o'clock and officially ended at four o'clock in the afternoon. Today's training content is very relaxed, most of which are restorative training and simple tactical exercises. Although the team just lost, Van Gundy, who has been in the NBA for many years, will not make himself nervous because of a loss.

The training is easy, and the players have more time to sit and chat together. What happened when Anjie asked for a leave of absence, naturally became the focus of everyone's chat.

"Awesome work! If I were you, I would have to beat him, two teeth, it's not enough to vent!" Morris waved his fist as if he was the one who beat Eddie Brown at the time.

"Is it really okay? If you get caught by the reporters, it will definitely cause a bad influence on public opinion." Durant was worried about An Jie's situation. The NBA star was fighting outside the field. This is not something to be happy about. And glorious news.

"There were no reporters there at the time. I don't think it's possible for the incident to spread. Although it was a little impulsive at the time, I don't regret it." An Jie replied categorically. He was willing to take all the responsibilities related to beatings and would never escape.

For example, for the medical bill sent by Eddie Brown, Anjie really paid a lot of money.

"Okay! The tea party should be over! Pack and pack ourselves, let's go to Los Angeles." Van Gundy's shout made the players put their thoughts back into the regular season. The season is not over yet, in the fiercely competitive West, you can never relax. alert.

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

"It's probably difficult for the Clippers to stop the Thunder from the bottom in the West, because..." Mike Brin was just halfway through when the director said something to him in the headset.

"Sorry audience friends, I just received a message about the Thunder's starting center Anjie." As soon as Mike Brin finished speaking, several photos appeared on the screen.

Above, An Jie was restrained by a few security guards, while a middle-aged man who seemed to be a playful man sat on the ground with a blood-stained face, very embarrassed.

"This is a picture taken by a police officer on a mission. According to the New York police officer who asked not to be named, An Jie had a fierce physical conflict with the middle-aged man in the photos. These photos are It was filmed on March 3, the day Anjie missed the Nuggets game. In this way, we can figure out where An is going." Mike Brin doesn’t like gossip, but I have to admit, this Even he was attracted by this set of photos.

"Thunder's starting center assaulting fans?"

"An Jie gave up the game only for personal revenge."

For a time, the game between the Thunder and the Clippers seemed to have become an accessory. An Jie's off-site matters have become the focus of discussions in various TV stations.

But of course, An Jie and all the Thunder who warmed up on the court did not know that this had happened. It wasn't until Van Gundy called the players back to the locker room that Anjie and his teammates realized something was wrong.

In the stands of the Staples Center, there are countless fans holding slogans aimed at Anjie. This is nothing strange, but today's slogan is written differently than before.

"Get out of Los Angeles, Ann this thug!"

"Staples does not welcome criminals to play on the court."

"We need stars, not butchers."

Looking at these slogans, An Jie had a bad feeling.

However, he quickly turned his attention to the game. When Van Gundy made the final deployment, it was Anjie who listened most seriously.

"Ann, I want you to defend Kaman. This white center is the same as you, with all-round skills and a threat at mid-range. Morris, don't double-team, don't double-team, your counterpoint Drew Gooden The shooting ability is very good, I can't give him space!" As always, Van Gundy first emphasized the defense to the players.

"Leave it to us, the Clippers' inside offense will be completely misfired. Right, Ann." Morris geared his hands. The more Van Gundy emphasized, the more excited Morris became.

"Very well, you all remember your mission. Now, let us win the victory!"

"Roar!"

Van Gundy led a group of players who had become very dangerous to wait in the player aisle. Anjie was the one who couldn't wait the most. He could not wait long ago and wanted to make up for the regret of missing the game.

Three minutes before the start of the game, a reporter from the espn television station found Jeff Van Gundy. As usual, when I choose to interview the head coach, I will ask some questions related to tactics. But when the espn reporter opened his mouth, Van Gundy thought he had a problem with his ears.

"What did you say?" Van Gundy asked the reporter again next to the noisy bench.

"I mean, what do you think of Anjie's beatings off the court? Did he explain to you when he asked for leave?" The reporter asked sharply and went straight to the point. The game is about to start, he doesn't want to waste time.

"I don't know about it yet, let's prepare for the game now." Could Van Gundy not know? When An Jie came back, he explained everything about it, but he didn't expect that this incident still leaked the news.

In any case, this must not be mentioned in front of the players, so as not to affect their performance.

An Jie was standing in the middle circle at the moment, ready to compete with Chris Kaman. He didn't know that before the game started, he had already become the focus of the audience.

What is An Jie's condition after going out to make trouble? What exactly will this wanton hurting guy do on the court? All of them are enough to attract attention.

"I don't care what Ann did outside, please, this is the NBA, this is a place to play basketball! NBA has always had no shortage of off-court violence, but what does that have to do with basketball?" Charles Barkley disagrees. He commented on An Jie's fight. This guy himself had done something even worse than here. He certainly didn't think it was surprising that he lifted a guy up and threw it to the window.

When everyone was talking about it, the referee threw the basketball up. Chris Kaman tried his best to fight, but was still defeated.

With his height and wingspan at a disadvantage, Kaman found that Anjie’s bullet speed was actually faster than his own.

"Let's watch the game guys, this is not UFC, there is no brawl show. Basketball is the theme!" It's a rare occasion that Barkley became a more decent party.

An Jie was unexpectedly very positive today. It seems that all the energy he saved from the absent game was spent on this game.

At the beginning of the game, he had intense physical contact with Kaman.

An Jie leaned on Kaman's non-stop back leaning without the ball. If it were not for a slight weight advantage, Kaman's defense might collapse before An Jie received the ball.

Fortunately, when Anjie received a pass from Westbrook, Kaman's defensive position was still there.

But let Anjie received the ball from such a deep position, this time the defense has actually failed by half.

After receiving the ball, Anjie only dribbled once, then turned around and hooked.

The hook is an offensive method that is not easy to be blocked, not to mention that An Jie only shot after driving Kaman.

Seeing Kaman's fingers almost touched the basketball, but in the end it was still a few centimeters away. An Jie's close-range hook was wiped on the backboard before it was reflected into the net.

Suddenly, the whole Staples booed. They don't like An Jie, but An Jie puts his palm to his ear to signal the fans to be louder!

"What am I talking about! Basketball is basketball. There is no problem with Ann's state. I don't care if he played one or ten outside. As long as he can help the team win, he will be a reconciled kid!" Seeing Anjie score a goal, Barkley is also chasing after victory. He found that he gradually fell in love with this **** Chinese.

On the first goal, facing the current Clippers star Chris Kaman, Anjie easily scored two points.

The Clippers are also miserable enough. Eric Gordon, who was drafted last year, drove up and down, and "Captain Bearded" Byron Davis was in decline. This year, he finally picked No. 1 pick Blake Griffin. ~www.NovelMTL.com~ As a result, "White Warcraft" was reimbursed for the season without a game.

Watching Anjie score easily in the hinterland of the Clippers, Staples fans are also angrily scattered. Only through endless boos, I can express the many unhappy in my heart.

Before the Clippers fans could catch their breath, Anjie gave them a big gift on the defensive end.

Eric Gordon cut inside, and Byron Davis made a precise pass, giving Gordon a chance.

Gordon is the kind of defender who shoots better than breaks, so his layup after an inside cut was slapped back by Angel cleanly!

"No foul, this is a good shot!" Mike Brin also put Anjie's lace news behind his head, no way, this guy is so likable on the court! Fight off the court? Who cares? Besides, there is still no conclusion on whether this matter is true or false!

One offense and one defense, An Jie has already demonstrated his state to the fullest. The Los Angeles Clippers seem to be unable to escape their fate as a funerary.

Resist, the harder you resist, the more excited An Jie will become! (To be continued.)
