The Way of the Center

On February 23, the Spring Festival, but when he woke up in the middle of the night, it was not the lively fireworks and firecrackers that greeted An Jie after New Year's Eve, but the strong flashes of reporters outside Orlando International Airport that could blindly blind their eyes. ┡Ω『E┡小Δ』say Ww┡W. 1XIAOSHUO.

The All-Star Game is just like the Spring Festival Gala. No matter how the fans scold it, they still can't stop when it's time to watch it. Although the All-Stars of this year have been labeled as "chicken help", "boring", etc., when Anjie walked out of the airport, fans and reporters still packed the hall.

"Look at Ann, this group of guys are here for us!" Although Aldridge is No. 2 in the o6 year, this is his first All-Star team selection. Because of this, he and Anjie became the 15th and 16th players in the All-Star Game in the Trail Blazers’ 42-year history.

Before that, someone on the Trail Blazers was selected to the All-Star team, and it has to be traced back to Brandon Roy in 2010. However, when Anjie airborne in the city of tears, the market for the Trail Blazers doubled and their attention was greatly different from the past. With An Jie by his side, Aldridge, who was already performing well, finally entered people's field of vision.

Orlando's All-Star atmosphere is not that strong, at least compared to the Phoenix All-Stars and Dallas All-Stars that Angel has participated in before, Orlando's All-Stars are really tepid to describe.

There are few huge posters, but the rugby game is much wider. Even David Stern is constantly transforming the All-Star Game to achieve the goal of regaining attention. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the transformation of the alliance may not be considered a success.

But in any case, the All-Star Game is always a repertoire. The rules of this game will never change. Anjie and Aldridge are also here for the most important game.

Nowadays, the dunk contest is already a group of young people who cannot be named. The three-point contest and the skill challenge are mixed. Rookie game? Reluctantly. Only the All-Star Game is still real and worthy of the name of the All-Star.

Before the official start of the All-Star Weekend, all the East and West contestants have to get together to take a series of photos for the nBa official.

Aldridge, who put on the All-Star uniform for the first time, was very excited, but due to his personality, he didn't know how to express it. So I could only take a crazy selfie, and on my FaceBook, I returned a series of exclamation marks. But Anjie, there is no time to take a selfie now. At this shooting scene, there are too many old friends who need to say hello.

"Don't be unharmed, my big tall guy!" Durant and Westbrook walked towards Anjie with a laugh, and the three of them gave each other a hug as soon as they met. It feels as if Anjie still belongs to Oklahoma.

"What's going on, you know, I don't have time to watch your games. Without me, your and Russell's iron numbers are simply unsightly." Even though Anjie expressed concern, he did not forget to lose sight of his differences. Together with an old friend.

"26 wins and 7 losses, first in the Western Conference! I took a look, is the Trail Blazers third or fourth?" Westbrook was also unceremonious, and immediately counterattacked.

"Cut, if I didn't want to play in a few games, we would have won first place in the West. Wouldn't it be three more wins than us? Have you forgotten how I chased it back then? Just three games, It's not a gap at all." An Jie replied irritably.

"Remember, why don't you remember. We **** all the way from tenth to eighth, we killed the Suns and the Jazz. If it wasn't for the big shark guy who came out to make a fool, we would have been in the playoffs. I remember Ann, I I remember. So, don’t expect us to take it lightly. You can never take it lightly when dealing with a guy like you." Although it has been three years, Durant has become a real superstar and has achieved a lot. Achievement. However, he still hasn't forgotten that in those years, it was the days when the three rookies struggled together one by one.

"Haha, I thought you all forgot." An Jie smiled, but his expression was not very relaxed. Although Anjie had a pretty good time with the Trail Blazers, do you think he could forget Oklahoma and the blue and white lightning of the Thunder? No, no! He remembers everything he was born in Oklahoma, remembers the time he struggled with the Thunder. He also remembered the piercing pain when he learned that he was going to be traded.

"What about Morris, why did you leave him behind." An Jie thought Morris would also be selected for the All-Star Game with Durant and Westbrook. Unexpectedly, An Jie still didn't see it when the substitute list was announced. The figure of Morris.

"That guy said he didn't want to kick your **** in the All-Star Game, to sell you a face, and also to give you a chance to perform. So he gave you the stage and told you to take it well." Durant conveyed Morris's In fact, Morris really has the strength of an All-Star, but his defensive style makes him never the most dazzling guy. So as one of the keys to the Thunder, he is often overlooked.

"Haha, that kid. Come on, try to stabilize the first place in the Western Conference. In this way, we will not meet in the playoffs prematurely." Anjie is not afraid of the Thunder, but he doesn't want to be with his past. Friends are enemies.

"Don't worry about us, you still think about whether you will fall to eighth."

"Russell, you guy, wait for me!"

"Hahaha, Ann, you can't scare me. Ah!! Let go of me! Hahahaha... Let go of me, itchy me..."

If they hadn't been wearing the Western Stars jerseys, Durant would really have thought he had gone to the past.

After a while, the photographer finally arrived. First, it's the East and West All-Star team to take a big picture.

In the east, James sat in the middle of the first row, while Wade and Anthony, the strongest two in the o3 generation except James, sat on both sides. The others are all standing behind.

On the west side, the "boss" sitting in the middle holding the basketball is naturally Kobe Bryant. And the people sitting on both sides, one is Durant, the other is Anjie. As the two youngsters with the fastest progress and the highest uplift in the West, Anjie and Durant have become indispensable key forces in their respective teams. The two of them even became the existence that changed the situation in the west. Therefore, the position of being on an equal footing with Kobe was handed over to the hands of the two brothers.

Aldridge stood shyly facing the camera outside, playing nBa for 6 years, and now, he has finally fulfilled his dream of an All-Star. Subsequently, the photographer commanded and directed the Big Three in the All-Star Game jersey to take a group photo. The Heat also became the team with the most players selected in the All-Star Game this year.

"Now, please Ann, Durant and Westbrook come forward to take pictures." But when the photographer read the next group of names, everyone turned their heads in surprise. They thought that the next group of people to take pictures would be Kobe and Bynum. Unexpectedly, the photographer actually called three guys who are not playing for a team.

"Also, Coach Jeff Van Gundy, please call him." The photographer whispered to the assistant beside him, and the assistant ran out of the studio and found Van Gundy who was attending Jialianhua next door.

Last year, because of Anjie's injury. Jeff Van Gundy gave up his position as the head coach of the Western Conference Stars in order to be able to accompany Anjie for a few days.

This year, this position was still won by Van Gundy, who achieved excellent results. But this time, he can meet Anjie in the All-Star Game.

Seeing the photographer so manned, all the players knew what he wanted to do. Taking a photo of the three former Thunder Masters and Van Gundy will definitely have a very good publicity effect. Feelings have become the standard for many people to pay.

"Um...what should I do?" An Jie walked up embarrassedly holding a basketball. He was the only "outsider" among the four. Taking photos with them, An Jie always felt a little embarrassed. .

"Relax, we have taken countless pictures like this." Until Jeff Van Gundy smiled at himself and patted himself on the back. An Jie felt that he was so calm and natural.

Finally, Jeff Van Gundy sat in the middle with a basketball. Behind him is the third thunder master standing together with his hands around his chest. Of course, it was the third thunder master. The big yellow man standing next to Durant now has become a hero in another city. No matter how good he is now, he has nothing to do with Oklahoma.

Once, the three people behind Van Gundy were still wearing white jerseys. Such group photos of them frequently appeared in major sports media. At that time, people felt that this combination would dominate the league in the next five years.

Now, the three of them are still wearing the same jerseys. The difference is that Van Gundy’s head is getting less and less~www.NovelMTL.com~ And Anjie’s heart has already flown from Oklahoma to Rip. city.

After this set of photos, the photographer called Kobe and Bynum, Paul and Griffin, and even Angel and Aldridge were pushed back. In the East, there is the Heat's Big Three, and in the West, there is the Thunder's Big Three who once brought fans countless dream games.

An Jie didn't expect that such a simple shooting of official publicity photos would make him deeply moved. He remembered when he played NBA in his first year, when he went to Phoenix to participate in the All-Star Game with Durant and Westbrook.

They would marvel at a huge poster about themselves. Back then, even when they got off the plane, there were only a few reporters to shoot themselves. They were full of infinite possibilities back then!

But now, these guys can only use the opportunity of All-Star Weekend to get together to play.

Just let An Jie put the dense regular season aside for the time being and enjoy this extraordinary All-Star Weekend.

Competing with new and old teammates on the same field, just thinking about it, An Jie felt that he was already very excited.
