The Way of the Center

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Yay~~!" At the end of the game, all the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena raised their arms and cheered loudly. They were bouncing in the stands, who would have thought that this team, which has only moved to Oklahoma City for less than two years, would make them so proud!

The final score was shown on the big screen, 77 to 89, with a difference of 12 points, which was bloody printed on the screen.

Brandon Roy injured, Greg Oden injured, what's left of the Trail Blazers? Yes, fiasco.

"Third Thunder is really merciless, they did not give the Trail Blazers any chance. Four consecutive victories, the crazy Thunder has won four consecutive victories since entering February! Adding the victory of the last two games in January, the Thunder The winning streak has reached six games, do they still want to create a ten-game winning streak, or even better results!?" Mike Breen looked at the team in front of him in disbelief, watching the cheering crowd young people.

A year ago, the Thunder were struggling for a playoff berth. Now, they have become the fifth in the West!

In just one year, the Thunder's main lineup has not changed much. The only reason for this situation is the terrifying progress of the Thunder's three juniors!

"The Hawks, Hornets, Warriors, and now the Blazers, they all became the ghosts of the Thunder. The guys who first jumped out to stop the Thunder's three young men in February all died badly. Maybe during the days of the All-Star Game, It can help others to slow down the fiery momentum of the Thunder's three young men." Kenny Smith looked at the Thunder's match record since February, and there is no other adjective to describe it except excellent.

"Angie had double-doubles every game, and Durant scored 28 points in the least scoring time. What about Westbrook? He worked hard to keep his shooting percentage above 45%. Such a Thunder team really needs to be stronger You can only fight against your opponent!" Kenny Smith summarized the team's achievements, and Reggie Miller started with his personal data.

"Don't forget about the big guy. My favorite guy in the Thunder is that guy. Coach Van Gundy made him the starting choice. Now the Thunder's inside defense is not something that ordinary people can do. Break through casually. You must know that besides Ann and Morris, there is also Ibaka waiting for the opponent to come to the door!" Charles Barkley was full of praise for Morris. He seemed to have always liked this "big mouth" like himself. guy.

"Six consecutive victories, Ann! Now you can go to the All-Star Weekend happily!" The reporters frantically surrounded the Thunder players who won the victory, and An Jie was just one of them.

"Let's go to Dallas for a carnival!" An Jie, who was in a good mood, also had enthusiasm for things other than reporters.

"The starting center of the western star team! What does this mean to you?" Wu Hua finally squeezed out of the crowd after trying his best. From a big boy who was unknown in college and could do an interview casually, now he wants to do an interview The Western All-Star starting center who has to work hard. It can be said that Wu Hua has followed An Jie's career trajectory all the way.

"Honor, it represents honor buddy. Of course, I am also very grateful to the fans for supporting me. You know, Kevin has been jealous of me for a long time." As he spoke, Anjie started to open Durant again. joke. Anjie became the starting center of the Western Conference All-Star team this time with 1.8 million votes, while Durant, the league's leading scorer, could only serve as a substitute after Anthony of the Nuggets.

In fact, Durant's strength is of course not inferior to Anjie, but there is no way. Anthony's popularity cannot be surpassed by Durant in just three years. But in the west, there are really not many super popular centers who can compete with An Jie for the number of votes. After all, the Chinese fan base behind An Jie is too large. Didn't Yao Ming overwhelm O'Neal during the Lakers period and become the All-Star starting center in the Western Conference?

"Participating in the Rookie Challenge and the All-Star Game, will you feel tired? Will this affect your physical reserves?" Wu Hua had just listened to An Jie's answer.

He was pushed back by other reporters.

"The league told me that I have the right to give up my eligibility for the Rookie Challenge and focus on the All-Star Game. But after thinking about it, my good buddy Andrew Morris is the starting center for the first-year team, so I don't I plan to give up this opportunity to teach him a lesson." After finishing speaking, An Jie looked towards Morris tacitly. From the expressions of the reporters, it could be seen that Morris didn't say anything good about An Jie.

Although it was a joke, Morris is indeed the only reason why Anjie is willing to play two games during the All-Star Weekend.

Last year, An Jie made his mark in front of the world as a first-year rookie.

This year, he has become the starting center of the Western All-Stars, and will compete with those devastated names in the All-Star Game. Like a dream, it seems to be a perfect adjective.

This year, China's traditional Spring Festival will also come four days later, on February 14th, and that day happens to be during the All-Star Weekend. With 8 consecutive double-doubles in 8 games and 6 consecutive victories, Anjie can happily go through a year.

"It's a pity that I can't go to the All-Star Weekend to accompany you this year. Now the company is nervously preparing for a fashion show in Los Angeles at the end of February, and I will make my debut as a newcomer. Hehe, you have been famous for so long, this time It's my turn again." Although they couldn't meet each other in this happy festival and event, Anjie and Catherine were more happy in their hearts. Because their careers are both on the right track.

"Come on, Catherine, I can't wait to see you on the runway." Although Catherine has become a contracted model under img company, An Jie has never seen Catherine at work.

"As long as you don't get obsessed with scoring, it's fine, or the fans in Oklahoma City will kill me. The main center of the Cyclones only scored two points because they were too obsessed with their girlfriend." Catherine said Imitated Barkley's voice.

"It's less stinky."

"What did you say!"

 …

The Spring Festival and the All-Star Weekend are intertwined. After Yao Ming is reimbursed for the season, Chinese fans can still see what they want to see in this festive festival. Not only is Angie going to the All-Star Game, but he's going to play two.

And unlike Yao Ming, Yao Ming doesn't have much to perform in this kind of game. A few three-pointers are the moves Yao Ming enjoys the most. As for Anjie, he will definitely use a lot of unimaginable moves to make the game interesting. This All-Star Game has almost become the All-Star Game that has attracted the most attention from Chinese fans in history. Many people choose to travel to Dallas during the Spring Festival, and the All-Star Weekend and Anjie are the biggest reasons.

"Here we go again, this time there are four people." As soon as they got off the plane, An Jie and the others were surrounded by reporters who were already waiting outside.

Anjie, Durant, Westbrook, Morris. Four of the Thunder's starting five have projects in the All-Star Game, the most of any 30 teams.

Unlike last year's deserted situation, this year, it is almost impossible for Anjie and the others to easily walk out of the airport to take a taxi. In addition to reporters, fans gathered from all over the world will also ask them for autographs or group photos. Private cars, security guards, these things that have never appeared before have become the necessities for the four of Lei Ting to get out of the airport.

Tomorrow, they will go to Dallas for a tour. Although there will be no game the day after tomorrow, they will all have to attend the Fan Jialianhua event, and the work of the All-Star Weekend will officially begin. But at least for the past few days, work is easy and enjoyable for these four young people who are about the same age.

"Going to watch the game?" Sofia stared at her husband, former European basketball legend, Divac in surprise.

"Yes, how about it, will you come with me?" Divac rummaged in the closet. He hadn't shown his face in the basketball circle for a long time, so he had to be decent no matter what.

"Of course, since you became a humanitarian consultant, you haven't been free for a day. It's good to go out with you to play, so as not to be dragged down by work." Sophia casually fished in the closet, and picked it up. An expensive black suit came out. Sure enough, women know best what clothes are in this closet.

"Hey, you haven't seen my disciple yet. Let me tell you, his performance will definitely surprise you." Divac's expression was extremely proud. The starting center of the Western All-Star team was once under him Training, once built by him...

"Want to go to the ball?" The same person who asked the same question, and Abrahim, who still had long hair fluttering, but with more and more wrinkles.

"I've been busy for several months, and I still don't let others work. Just take a few days off, it's no big deal." Giardina once again launched an "offensive" against his manager.

I have to admit that this little girl worked very hard. Most of her peers envied Giardina's fame at a young age, but only Abrahi and herself knew about her hard work behind the scenes.

While Giardina was more successful than most of her peers, she also worked harder than most.

Abrahi naturally saw all this in his eyes, and now Giardina wants to relax for a few days, so let her go.

"Okay, I'll push back all the commercial activities for you in those few days. Enjoy the All-Star Weekend, Tina. I'll book your air tickets and game tickets for you right now, and you just need to prepare your luggage." Abra Hee smiled and replied that Giardina deserved a perfect and relaxing weekend.

Fans from all over the world, all kinds of people, are coming together in Dallas for one reason. That's basketball, that's the $1.1 billion 2010 All-Star Weekend hosted by the Mavericks, Cowboys and the city of Dallas.

Basketball is everywhere. (To be continued.)
