The Way of the Center

"...Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty! Okay, Ann. Take a break, the fifth set of training is complete!" A young man picked up the dumbbells for An Jie.

An Jie was sweaty, and continuous strength training was really exhausting. Even though Anjie can play more than forty minutes on the basketball court, he still feels a little overwhelmed when faced with such a high-intensity training.

"How do you feel, right?" An Jie's old acquaintance, well-known trainer Ganner Peterson smiled and patted An Jie's back. This guy is much stronger than when the two met for the first time a few years ago.

"It's okay, the whole body is burning! God Peterson, you really have new tricks to torture us every year." An Jie and this familiar trainer joked. Although Peterson's requirements are strict, the training intensity is also high. Very big. But the effect is equally obvious.

Last year, Anjie gathered several people to train with him. But this year, Anjie does not want to be disturbed. the reason is simple. Because in addition to training this year, Anjie has another more important thing to do.

"Are you going to practice more tonight?" Peterson saw that Anjie didn't seem to be tired by himself, so he asked casually. In the past few summers, An Jie always consciously increased his training. But this year, An Jie will leave the training hall as soon as the time comes.

"Tonight? Not tonight. My wife is going to have a baby soon, so I have to accompany her more. So, during the day, let's practice more!" An Jie finished speaking, and walked on the treadmill again.

Ganner Peterson shook his head, and the traits of An Jie, a training madness, really didn't disappear so easily.

A day of training ended in sweat soaking. Ganner Peterson was eating watermelon leisurely, but An Jie was too tired to get up.

"Oh, it's five o'clock, **** it!" But looking at his watch, the big guy forced himself to get up. Even if the whole body is sore, it can't contain An Jie's desire to go home and be with his family.

"Can I still drive? Or I'll see you." Seeing Anjie limping even on foot, Peterson was really worried.

"It's okay, see you tomorrow, Peterson." Anjie waved his hand and sat in the rx-7 with an ultra-low chassis. Maybe, I should change to a bigger car...

After driving for a while, Anjie drove to his home in the rich district of Lake Oswag. At the door of the house, a lady in a suit and shoes was ringing the doorbell. Seeing the male host coming back, the lady smiled at An Jie.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Ann."

"Hello, Dr. Wannida." Ms. An Jie Chong nodded.

"Is the day of training over? I think your physical condition seems to be good, but sometimes you should not be too tired."

"Thank you for your reminder." An Jie opened the door of the villa, and the two walked in unhurriedly.

The lady who walked into the yard with An Jie at the moment was a personal doctor An Jie hired specifically for Catherine. Before Catherine gave birth to a child, she will be solely responsible for Catherine's physical health.

The two walked through the courtyard together to the living room. Inside, Catherine is helping to prepare dinner. In fact, with Anjie's parents and a big beard, Catherine doesn't have to do housework at all. It's just this naughty little girl who always can't be idle.

"I'm back, my dear!" Anjie yelled like a remote control, causing Catherine to rush to the door of the house.

"Hey baby, how are you today?" Catherine did not shy away from the doctor standing by, hugging her husband who returned home. Doctors don't feel embarrassed either. This kind of thing is very common in American families.

"Very good, the training went quite smoothly."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Peterson to come home for dinner?"

"Maybe next time, I was walking too hastily today. Hey, Dr. Wannida is here too, you should go and lie down for an examination." An Jie turned sideways and let the doctor who had been standing at the door for a long time walk into the room . Catherine walked into her bedroom obediently,

After closing the door, the doctor began to examine Catherine inside. An Jie dragged his exhausted body and sat on the sofa, his life has really changed drastically.

In the past few summers at this time, Anjie was either madly training or madly having fun. But now, I return home from 9 to 5 every day and live a normal life.

But to Anjie's surprise, such a day actually gave him a strong sense of happiness. Perhaps, it has been too long, too long, to leave this ordinary life.

After a while, Catherine and the doctor walked out of the room. The doctor reported Catherine's physical condition to Anjie's family, and in summary, everything was normal.

After sending the doctor away, the family sat together for dinner. An Jie’s mother stewed Catherine a lot of tonic things. Of course, Beard did not forget to make some American nutritious meals for An Jie.

The family talked and laughed and enjoyed themselves. Life at the age of 25 is really different...

In this plain rhythm, 30 days have passed, and it came to July 28. For others, July 28 is just an ordinary day. But for Anjie, today is the anniversary of the first anniversary of his marriage to Catherine.

At this moment, Anjie and his wife have come to the UK to begin their romantic journey on their anniversary.

Because Catherine had a big belly, Anjie did not take her to a place like the beach. The place where you can feel the strong foreign culture without making Catherine too much stimulation is undoubtedly the best choice.

As we all know, in the UK, football is people's life. Basketball in this place is just a niche sport. Therefore, even if Anjie walks on the street swaggeringly, few people will harass him.

As a result, the quality of the people here is high, and pedestrians will not easily disturb others. Secondly, basketball's influence in the UK is indeed limited. But it is precisely because of this that Anjie's travel is more perfect.

On the day of July 28th, Anjie took Catherine to the London Eye and looked at the river Thames to enjoy the beautiful night view of London.

The two took a sweet picture together in the London Eye, and the first year after their marriage passed so peacefully.

When Catherine uploaded this selfie to Facebook, the entire social media exploded in an instant. Countless people have sent blessings to Anjie and Catherine, and the two have also become one of the model couples in the circle of public figures.

After playing in the UK for a week, Anjie returned to Portland with Catherine. Catherine continued to expect childbirth, and Anjie continued her second phase of training.

At this time, in China, the new Chinese national team has been assembled and is ready for training. Although Anjie will postpone the round with the team, this does not mean that he can be lazy.

Although working hard in different places, Anjie's seriousness is no worse than that of his teammates in the national team.

On August 19, eleven days before the opening of the Spanish Men's Basketball World Cup, An Jie boarded the plane returning to China, preparing to officially start his journey to the international arena.

Before leaving, Anjie and Catherine were reluctant to leave. Although they have been tired of being together for several months, the couple still cannot bear to each other. The solid relationship between the two really made many people envious.

With a suit of "Martial Arts", An Jie once again set off for his homeland. In the ten-day training period, I hope Anjie and this brand new national team can integrate smoothly...

"Go hard, work hard! You look like this! How do you perform in the international arena!? Let alone show in the world, when An Jie comes, you have to see your jokes!" Ningbo Beilun Chinese Men's Basketball Team In the training base, a gray-haired middle-aged man clapped his hands and shouted.

On the basketball court, more than a dozen young boys are running hard. They are the players who will represent China in the World Cup this year. Compared with last year's Asian Cup, most of them are new faces.

The replacement of Chinese basketball is something that must be carried out without any means. With Wang Zhizhi withdrawing from the national team, Zhu Fangyu and others are also older. This year, most of the players entering the national team are fresh blood. A large number of young players have entered the national team, making this team look very different from the past.

Therefore, the term "a brand new national team" is not a metaphor, but a fact.

"Guide Gong, An Jie is here." Just as everyone was training in full swing, a team coach wearing glasses walked up to the middle-aged man who just yelled.

"Well, ask him to come in and say hello to everyone before changing his clothes." The middle-aged man was a little nervous for some reason. He himself is one of the representatives of Chinese basketball. But in history, no Chinese basketball player has reached the height of An Jie. This is the first time he will feel nervous about the arrival of a player. Because the one who is about to appear in front of him is the greatest basketball player in China!

"Is this this place?" With a loud voice, a strong and tall black figure slowly walked over. The players who were training on the field stopped their hands after hearing the sound and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Oh my God!" The heartbeat of the middle-aged man accelerates. Just being close to you, this guy can bring a huge sense of oppression!

An Jie walked into the training ground and appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~"

"Gosh~www.NovelMTL.com~ I finally saw a real person!"

"It's **** strong! Stronger than it looks on TV!"

On the court, the group of young players suddenly mumbled and discussed. After all, most of this group of people saw a "living" An Jie for the first time.

The middle-aged man looked up and down at the smiling young man in front of him. He was very sunny and energetic, without any pretensions. So, he stretched out his hand first. "Hello, Anjie. I am Gong Luming, the current coach of the Chinese national team. Welcome home!"

Gong Luming used the word home, which made An Jie feel very touched. Players who have played outside all the year round are most afraid of being excluded after returning to the national team, but Gong Luming successfully resolved An Jie's distress with just one word.

"Hey, good instructor Gong, hello everyone. Let's have a big fight on the stage of the World Cup!" An Jie shook his fist while shaking hands with Gong Luming.

Do a big game on the stage of the World Cup? Before An Jie came, no one dared to say such a thing. A superstar is really different!
