The Way of the Center

"Champion! Champion! Champion! Champion!..." The fans shouted continuously, and An Jie closed his eyes and enjoyed all the shouts and cheers. Suddenly, An Jie opened his eyes suddenly.

There was a dazzling white light in front of his eyes, making him unable to see anything. The cheers in the ears gradually diminished until they disappeared. At this moment, the world in front of An Jie gradually became clear.

He is not on the basketball court, but in his bedroom. The picture just now is just a dream.

"Oh... **** it!" An Jie used his sturdy arms to prop up himself. An Jie who was sitting on the bed supported his head, his head was still a little dizzy. God knows after they went out last night. How much did you drink again.

An Jie tried to remember, but couldn't remember anything. The last thing he remembered was the shouts of the fans when he left Moda Center. As early as in the dressing room, Anjie was already drunk by the expensive champagne.

After that, Anjie looked around for a while. The whole room was empty, without anyone. Where is Catherine? Where did she go? So An Jie walked out of the room in his pajamas and slippers.

As soon as he walked out of the room, An Jie heard the sound of "zizi" and the smell of fried eggs. Needless to say, Catherine must be preparing breakfast for herself.

At this moment, Catherine was wearing a white nightdress. Although her belly was greatly erected, she still couldn't hide the beauty of this French girl. Hearing the sound, Catherine looked back. Catherine smiled when Anjie was found behind her.

An Jie was completely intoxicated by his wife's smile. In this world, there is nothing more charming than Catherine's smile. Even the O'Brien Cup can't match.

"Honey." Anjie suddenly hugged Catherine and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Okay, stop making trouble, the eggs will be fried later." Although Catherine said so, she put her arms around Anjie's waist, but she stubbornly refused to let go.

"Where are your parents?" An Jie looked around, and there seemed to be no one else in this house except for himself and Catherine.

"They are afraid that you celebrated too late yesterday and it is not convenient to come back, so I went to the hotel and slept for one night." Catherine said, putting the fried eggs on the plate and adding a ham sausage on top.

"Huh." An Jie sat at the dining table, picked up the knife and fork, salivating. After all, after drinking so much wine yesterday, I must have vomited up all the food.

As soon as Catherine put the plate on, An Jie gobbled it up and ate it. A small fried egg is only enough for a big guy like An Jie to eat two bites. Seeing Anjie eating, Catherine's smile appeared again. Isn't this simple but pleasant life what Catherine has always wanted?

"By the way... how did I... yesterday?"

"Say it after you swallow the food, I can't hear anything." Catherine handed An Jie a glass of juice. This guy, the boss is not too young, but sometimes he is like a child.

An Jie took a sip of juice and tried to swallow the food in his mouth. "How did I get back yesterday?" Anjie asked again.

"Yesterday? Yesterday I was waiting for you at home, and then LaMarcus took you back in a taxi."

"Oh, then I don't worry." Think about everyone who was so drunk yesterday, if anyone still drives, it might really make a big mistake.

"It seems that the guy LaMarcus has a lot of alcohol." An Jie smiled and took out his cell phone, and called Aldridge. People who drink fragments are like this, always want to find their "lost" memories.

However, after chatting with Aldridge a few words, An Jie discovered that Aldridge himself didn't remember anything. Even taking a taxi to take Anjie home, Aldridge had no impression.

An Jie couldn't help taking a breath, but it was Aldridge's good instincts. Otherwise, God knows if he and Aldridge will sleep on the lawn of a certain park today.

It seems that the memory that was lost last night cannot be retrieved for a while. However, nothing special happened last night. If anything, the gate of An Jie's house should have been surrounded by reporters long ago.

In the quiet morning after the crazy night, this feeling made An Jie relax. Another year passed, and Anjie also won his second NBA championship trophy. Of course, he also continued his double mvp honor. And Anjie, after Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, is the third player to win double mvp for two consecutive years.

After eating breakfast and sitting on his own sofa, Anjie picked up a few newspapers sent this morning and read them.

Without turning the newspaper to the sports section, Anjie can easily find news about himself and the Trail Blazers on the front page headlines. After all, now that the Blazers win the championship is the top priority for Portland.

"An Jie: The basketball legend of Red China!" The title and picture of the "Portland Post" are An Jie's favorite. Only this media put the photo of An Jie wearing a five-star red flag on the front page.

In a way, An Jie's complexion and experience made his champion full of legendary colors. A Chinese can bring a team that has been in decline for decades to the top. No one has ever dared to think about this kind of thing. Therefore, every time Anjie obtains an achievement, there will always be heated discussions around the world.

But An Jie was too lazy to listen to these discussions. My season has come to a successful end. Next, it's time to enjoy my holiday.

Just when Anjie was preparing to plan his own itinerary, Ricard sent a text message. Tomorrow, the championship parade will begin as scheduled. Everyone has to assemble at the Moda Center at 8 o'clock in the morning and must not be late.

An Jie smiled and shook his head. He hadn't arranged it yet, someone had already arranged it for him.

A minute later, a call from China came. There is no caller ID on the mobile phone screen, but Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian all have the mobile phone numbers of An Jie, so they are definitely not the ones who called. There is only one possibility for a call from China at this time, the Basketball Association!

An Jie froze for a moment. Didn’t the Basketball Association send a text message to congratulate you last night? But immediately, An Jie reacted. This summer, the national team has to play in the first men's basketball World Cup after reform. The Basketball Association called at this time, it should be to inform their team of the training time.

An Jie answered the phone, and the basketball association official on the other end of the phone was also very polite.

Anjie is different from the vast majority of Chinese players in that he is both within and outside the system. Anjie spends most of the time in the United States every year, whether it is life, training or competition. It took just over a month to return to China to train and play games. And An Jie’s ability is obvious to all. Now it is not An Jie who wants to play for the country, but these Basketball Association officials should try their best to ensure that An Jie will not suddenly leave the national team.

If Chinese basketball loses An Jie because of the Basketball Association, none of this group of officials will have a good fruit. Therefore, although the person who called was An Jie's "superior leader", the tone of the two men seemed to be reversed.

An Jie said that he may train in the United States, and the time for training with the national team may need to be postponed. Before the change, An Jie might have been labeled "treason", but now, the Basketball Association officials are full of promises. Last year, Anjie also practiced with the team only a few days ago, but didn't he also lead the Chinese team to the Asian Championships?

A player who can win a double mvp in the NBA is definitely a terrifying weapon in the international arena. No matter what Anjie wants, as long as the Basketball Association can compromise, the green light will be on.

Hanging up, An Jie sighed. Yes, the championship parade is only one day. There is still a Men's Basketball World Cup now, and one month of my vacation is definitely gone.

An Jie didn't dare to arrange his own schedule anymore, instead staring at the phone and waiting for a few minutes. He was afraid that he had just arranged it and another call would disrupt everything.

Five minutes later, An Jie's cell phone still did not ring. An Jie then calmly called Catherine over to sit next to him, and arranged this rare holiday.

Tourism, of course, is a key activity for young couples. But this year, Anjie and Catherine have left more time for labor.

It's already June, and if there is no accident ~www.NovelMTL.com~ there are still three months, Anjie and Catherine's child will be born. In these three months, Anjie must put aside more basketball and play time and take care of Catherine wholeheartedly.

"This holiday will make you unforgettable for a lifetime." Touching her belly, Catherine smiled happily at Anjie.

Outside the window, the sun was no longer dazzling. The color of the sky was no longer pale, but turned to azure blue.

The soft sunlight came in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in An Jie's living room. The TV was on, and there were only An Jie and Catherine on the sofa.

An Jie couldn't help but leaned against Catherine. This simple scene made An Jie feel great happiness.

The blue sky, the white clouds, the quiet life, the two cuddling together...what else can be better than these?

Yes, no matter what the itinerary is, as long as you can be with Catherine, Anjie’s vacation is perfect.

The summer frenzy, come quickly. An Jie, who has worked hard for a season, can’t wait to devote himself to a wonderful holiday...
