The Way of the Center

Eight-game winning streak, this may not be an exaggerated winning streak. E Novel Ww*W. ┡1XIAOSHUO. When COM Anjie was in the Thunder, he even completed a ten-game winning streak.

But look at the opponents the Blazers encountered during the eight-game winning streak, and you will know how difficult this is actually.

After the All-Star Game, the Blazers first lost to the Nuggets, and then regrettably lost to the powerful Heat. But the failure of these two games did not completely collapse the confidence of the Trail Blazers. On the contrary, in the game against the Timberwolves, Anjie scored a 4o+ score for the second consecutive game, eclipsing Love, who also performed well. It was from this big victory that the Trail Blazers became unstoppable.

Lacking Paul and the Hornets and the bottom of the "habitual" league, the Nets are undoubtedly a man-armed player in front of the Blazers. In the back-to-back trip to the east, Anjie also had the last laugh in the battle with the Celtics.

With the Pacers, Daniel Granger and Paul George were completely choked to death, and Angel, who ruled the last two minutes of the game, also won the New York Knicks, which he did not share. After that, in the last game, the Blazers beat the Bulls and won the longest eight-game winning streak of the season!

Among them, the Trail Blazers played several consecutive back-to-back matches and encountered several strong enough opponents. But they still survived and won all the duels.

Now, the Trail Blazers are only two games away from a ten-game winning streak. Although no one asked them to have a ten-game winning streak, but subconsciously, these guys still want to increase the winning streak to double digits.

To accomplish this task, it is not difficult. In the next two games, the Blazers' two opponents are the Detroit Pistons and the Milwaukee Bucks. These two teams are ranked ninth and tenth in the East, respectively, and are teams that are likely to make the playoffs at any time.

At this point in the season, the offensive power of this marginal team in the playoffs is often the strongest. Because they only need to work hard to reach the quarterfinals. After a season, success is in sight, and no one is willing to give up.

Look at the Thunder, which ranked tenth in the Western Conference that year. After the All-Stars, didn't they beat each and every powerful opponent upset? Other teams, the hard work at the moment is exactly the same as that of the Thunder. Even in the face of more capable Trailblazers, the Pistons and Bucks will never let Anjie pass easily.

An Jie also knows that these two teams are not ranked as good in the Eastern Conference, and they are not persimmons. To eat them, the Trail Blazers must have an appetite that can match them. So when Moslav told An Jie to discuss the signature shoe design with Nike, An Jie was actually very resistant.

Indeed, to have a series of signature shoes and boots of his own, this is Anjie's long-time dream. Four generations of Jordan, eight generations of Kobe, O'Neal annual ring...An Jie really loves basketball shoes. When he was still in China, most of An Jie's savings were also dedicated to this pair of expensive sneakers.

But now, An Jie can immediately have his own signature shoes, and whoever changes it will be very excited. Unfortunately, when this kind of thing encountered two crucial games, An Jie couldn't be interested in them anyway.

"Can't you wait any longer, Mr. Meslav?" Anjie complained on the phone again.

"Wait? Ann, this is the third time you have postponed your appointment with the Nike designer. I know the competition is very important, but Nike has not made any money if the shoes have not been made. They can't make money. When it comes to the money, why are they still signing a contract with you? For the sake of a good cooperative relationship between the two sides, you should settle the sneaker issue as soon as possible." Meslav did not turn a blind eye this time, the Pistons and the Bucks , Meslav believes that these two teams Anjie should be able to easily win.

"No, this is because..."

"Okay." An Jie was about to excuse, but was interrupted by Meslav. He knows Anjie's careful thinking, this guy is not afraid of trouble, or is he afraid of taking up his training time.

"There is no discussion about this matter, so you can take an afternoon to go there. If it continues like this, Nike may sue us for breach of contract." Meslav's last words just scared and scared Anjie, but he I knew that if I didn't make the matter more serious, An Jie's "stubborn man" would not listen.

"Okay, okay, I won't practice tonight. Call Nike and ask their designer to come to my house tonight." An Jie can fight a group of muscle men on the court for forty minutes. But he couldn't stand Meslav's three-inch tongue.

After Moslav talked a lot, Anjie finally surrendered with his hands. If he didn't agree, Meslav would have to fly to Portland himself to urge him.

So after the training this afternoon, An Jie drove out of the Rose Garden Arena in a rare hurry. Anjie has been with the Trail Blazers for so long, and this is the first time this situation has broken.

"This guy, are you in a rush to go on a date?" Aldridge scratched his head puzzled as he looked at the Rx-7 disappearing at the exit of the parking lot.

An Jie came home so early, mainly because he wanted to clean up his huge empty but rotten house. A man living alone in a house, clutter is sure to happen. What's more, An Jie, a workaholic, spends much more time in the rose garden than at home.

Although the visitor is a sneaker designer who serves him, An Jie still doesn't want to be too rude. As a popular star, if his house is rumored to be messy and messy like a small hotel, the public image will suddenly become messy. Moreover, in the Chinese people's concept, it is impolite to have guests coming in a mess.

So at half past six in the afternoon, the doorbell of An Jie's house was rang on time. An Jie glanced with satisfaction at the house he had been busy with for a while, and it seemed to be a good one.

An Jie let out a sigh of relief, and then opened the door with peace of mind. However, when he opened the door, An Jie was dumbfounded.

Meslav told him on the phone that a designer would come to visit, and Anjie thought there was only one person. But now standing in front of Anjie's eyes is clearly an entire design team with the top ten people!

"Mr. An, I finally met. I am the designer of your signature shoes this time. My name is Kevin Landry." A middle-aged man with glasses and gentleman came forward and shook hands with An Jie enthusiastically.

"I am Luke Cruze, who is responsible for the design of the soles."

"Hello, Smith Button."

"Tyson Kidd."

"Abidal Tezi blog."

......

This group of men and women designers came up to shake hands with An Jie. After they introduced themselves, An Jie had forgotten his designer Xi’s name. Does a pair of basketball shoes really need so many people to create?

It was the first time that An Jie’s large long table was fully seated. An Jie and Xi’s designer sat in two main seats, while the others sat on both sides and listened to their opinions at any time.

"Mr. An, don't worry, designing sneakers is our specialty. As long as you put forward ideas, we can make them. You have to believe that there are only things you can't think of, and nothing that Nike can't do." Designer Xi is confident. Looking at An Jie, they can be satisfied with a picky guy like Kobe, not to mention that An Jie is just a "rookie" with signature shoes for the first time.

"If you think about it...high top, thick bottom, light weight, and it can't look bulky." An Jie casually said a few points, but the designers carefully recorded them.

"With the weight of An, I think the thickness of the sole should be..."

"No, no, the upper can't be so high, it will delay his bounce feeling."

In an instant, the designers began to discuss. An Jie did not expect that this group of guys put into work so quickly.

"I want the color to be more fancy, that is to say I want to see a mixture of many colors on a shoe. Of course, the main color must be clear, otherwise people don't know whether my sneakers are matched with the home and away jerseys." See this group The guy is really professional, and An Jie's requirements have gradually increased.

One of the fat guys with a big belly immediately drew several first drafts of sneakers based on An Jie's text narrative, while the others were also processing the data according to An Jie's request.

An Jiexian, designing sneakers seems not as boring as he thought. He gradually became involved in the discussion, and the appearance of the signature shoes that belonged to him became clearer and clearer.

"Well, the sneakers are probably the details after such a silhouette~www.NovelMTL.com~, we will continue to discuss after returning to the company. If possible, Mr. An, we will try to let you wear this pair in the playoffs. A one-of-a-kind center forward sneaker! Of course, this is inseparable from your cooperation. After that, I would like to ask Mr. An to spare more time." Designer Xi looked at a handful of materials in his hand with satisfaction. With these things, he designed sneakers It's completely a familiar thing.

"If I can put it on before the playoffs, I will be very willing to cooperate!" An Jie looked at the first draft of the designer's hand. The outline of this pair of shoes has already begun to emerge in An Jie's mind.

How important is a good pair of basketball shoes? Indeed, its importance is ranked after the players' own strength, the degree of tacit understanding of teammates, the atmosphere of the stadium and other factors. But this does not mean that basketball shoes are an optional link.

While ensuring the health of the players, he can also ensure that the players' sports will be smoother. Sometimes it may be this one percent advantage that can influence the final situation.

Watching the Nike designer team leave the street of her home, Angela closed the curtains and was about to go to the living room to watch the Pistons game video.

The basketball shoe thing has fallen, so next, it's time to solve the ten-game winning streak...
