The Way of the Center

Milan is just the first stop of the romantic journey of the two lovers. Biquge \u0026 Ge www.biquge.info Holland, Switzerland, Paris, London... In the past, they used to go back and forth between the United States and China. This year, the two decided to travel in Europe.

An Jie was surprised to find that in these cities, Catherine seemed to be more popular than himself. No way, the influence of basketball in Europe is not as good as that of football, but the fashion circle is completely different. In addition to the well-developed football culture in Europe, the fashion circle is also one of the bustling areas.

The two young people spent almost a month like this, and An Jie and Catherine have been together for two and a half years, but in these two and a half years, they can be together for such a long time. This month is undoubtedly very precious to An Jie and Catherine.

However, limited by their occupations, they are destined not to be able to continue this comfortable life. Catherine must prepare for her next fashion week, and Anjie must also return to the court after a month of fun. If he doesn't maintain a good state now, let alone the NBA, he won't even be able to win the World Championships.

It wasn't until the end of the meeting with Catherine at the end of June that An Jie began to pay attention to the basketball world in which he was in the circle again.

"The Lakers won the championship!?" An Jie flipped through his phone and shouted loudly. The people around looked at An Jie as if they were looking at a monster. Is this all news before the year of the monkey?

But to An Jie, this news is so fresh and impactful. The Lakers got rid of their old enemy, successfully revenged and completed the defense. After O'Neal left, the Lakers also created a two-peat. After the Lakers won the championship this time, Kobe's historical status, which was not low, was greatly improved. Five championship rings, three consecutive championships once, two consecutive championships once, and Kobe's career did not end there. God knows what this paranoid man who is almost perverted will do in the future. Now as long as the Lakers are willing, there will definitely be a lot of stars who will come to the door voluntarily. For the sake of the championship, what's so hard about enduring Kobe's temper? Just thinking about the development after the Zijin Dynasty is enough to make people feel ashamed.

But the reason why An Jie felt a lot about the Lakers winning the championship was more than that. The Lakers won the championship, that is to say, the Thunder team reached the tiebreaker with this season's championship! With this premise, the meaning of the series between the Thunder and the Lakers is completely different.

After the Lakers won the championship, the Thunder became the second hottest team. Although the Phoenix Suns did a good job in the Western Conference Finals, their resistance was not as fierce as that of the Thunder. Only when the Celtics played against the Lakers in the Finals did the excitement of the game begin to match that of the Thunder. The impression of Stoudemire and Nash is not as impressive as that of the Thunder's three young masters.

"What is the Thunder's level of seven games against the championship?"

"If Anjie doesn't have a fever,

Do the Thunder have a chance at a championship? "

"Look at these ten details, and you will know how terrifying Thunder is."

All kinds of questions and headlines about the Thunder spewed out overnight, and the discussions about the Thunder were no less than those of the Lakers. The season has just ended, and the Thunder have already become one of the high-profile teams next season. Among all the teams that stopped in the second round, no one can get such treatment.

For this unexpected popularity, Presti is also dumbfounded. The good news is that the Thunder have a higher exposure rate and the market has become bigger. What is distressing is that there are more and more trading proposals without constructive opinions.

In any case, An Jie finally returned to the environment that was so familiar to him. I deliberately didn't pay attention to my career for a month, but I didn't expect that when I started to pay attention, it would be a big news.

The first thing to do when returning to work, An Jie rushed to Portland under the urging of Moslav. Of course, this is not because Anjie has anything to do with the Trail Blazers. He just wants to shoot an advertisement at Nike's headquarters in Portland.

Last summer, Nike's Anjie and Durant co-produced advertisement was very successful. But this year, Nike decided to let Anjie, a guy with a huge market behind him, expand his influence. When An Jie walked into the basketball court used for commercial shooting, he was stunned.

Chris Paul and LeBron James are already warming up for the filming of the ad. Compared to last year with only KD and himself, the lineup of this year's ad is really much stronger.

"Hi, Ann, that Shaq guy talks about you every day, my ears are almost callused. Fortunately, this guy is going to the Celtics this year, otherwise I will really go crazy." James Greeted An Jie casually, but Paul, who was not very familiar with An Jie, was much restrained.

"Shaq is going to the Celtics!?" Angie was taken aback by James' casual revelation. It was really hard for him to imagine what O'Neill would look like in the Celtics shirt. Although O'Neal was in poor form last season, he averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game. With him joining the Celtics, the Celtics will definitely make money without losing money.

"Didn't that guy tell you? I thought it was only reporters who didn't know about Shaq's movements. After all, the league has regulations that players can't disclose any transfer matters in front of the media. It's a pity, but it's actually pretty good to work with this guy ...Ann, are you interested in cooperating with me?" James asked An Jie this question seriously.

"Cooperate with you!?" It's not that Anjie doesn't know that James will become a free agent this summer, and he is the fattest fish in this free agent market. Asking such a sensitive question now, James is definitely not joking.

"There is no one else here, and I won't hide it. To be honest, I want to leave Cleveland." James said, looking at Paul and Angie. James knows that Paul also has the willingness to leave this year. He and Paul have a very good relationship in private, which is no secret to each other at all. If James can convince Paul and Angie to be on his team, then he will be one step closer to the championship!

Indeed, the Cavaliers have not found any decent helpers for James in recent years. The introduction of O'Neill last year was just a lot of thunder and little rain. James very much hopes to bring a championship to his hometown, but at the moment, James has won almost all the honors he can get, only one championship trophy is missing. He can't wait, he hopes to get his hands on the championship in the next five years, no matter which team he is in!

"My contract with Paul hasn't expired yet." An Jie smiled awkwardly. It's not that he doesn't know what James means, but he thinks it's not advisable to discuss things like this behind the back of the team.

"Haha, that's what I said. Alright, let's go warm up, Ann, the ad will not be easy. In the end, you and I will complete an alley-oop, let's try for one!" Seeing that An Jie is not interested , James smiled and waved his hand. In fact, James' manager is already negotiating intensely with the Heat. It is almost a certainty that Bosh will join the Heat. After a series of negotiations, it is not impossible for the Heat to eat James again. But everything has to be prepared with both hands, James doesn't want to hang himself on a tree. Because of this, James will pull teammates everywhere. He deeply knows that in today's league, it is almost impossible to win the championship with the strength of one person alone.

Paul has long wanted to leave the Hornets, and his manager has been actively in contact with the Lakers. But An Jie, right now, doesn't even have the slightest thought of leaving the Thunder. Although he is already a professional player, the word transfer is still too far away for him. He still has one year left on his contract with the Thunder, and the Thunder will definitely implement the team option after one year. If nothing else happens, Anjie will have to play for the Thunder for at least three years.

Angel came to Portland not to discuss the future with James. But it can also be seen from this that this little emperor is really about to be driven crazy by the embarrassment of not being able to win the championship.

An Jie now just wants to finish filming the advertisement quickly, and then quickly take the money and leave. It's not that he doesn't like James and Paul, it's just that Anjie will look very uncomfortable between the two people who are full of transfers. In less than a few words, sensitive issues came one after another. It's not good if An Jie doesn't answer, and it's not good if he answers.

A small commercial shooting gave An Jie a preliminary understanding of the utilitarian and commercial league of the NBA. The NBA is not just a place for you to play basketball. The various stakes in it are far more complicated than basketball itself.

An Jie doesn't want to transfer, but there are not many people who want An Jie to transfer. Moslav has received transfer invitations from other teams more than once, but out of respect for the Thunder, Moslav has not responded to those invitations.

This summer, Wade, Bosh, James, Durant... a bright name will enter the free agent market.

Paul, Angie, James Harden... The rumors in the trading market are equally exciting.

This summer is destined to be a turbulent summer. But An Jie didn't want to participate in it. The World Championships and summer training were the two places An Jie was most concerned about.

But as a member of the NBA, this kind of turmoil is not something that players say they won't participate in if they don't participate. After all, in the NBA, players are nothing more than a commodity.

After working hard with James and Paul to participate in the shooting of the commercial, Anjie's vacation has officially entered the training stage.

Tomorrow, An Jie will fly to Los Angeles non-stop again to participate in the private training plan that Muslav made according to his requirements. After a month of training, An Jie will return to China to train again with his teammates from the national team. Until the end of August, he went to Türkiye with the team to participate in the World Championships.

Today is the last day of June, and An Jie's schedule has already been scheduled for two months. Maybe the busy life is also the reason why An Jie doesn't want to think about those damn deals. With this free time, An Jie didn't know how many times he had run back and forth, and how many times he had pedaled his bicycle.

Commercial shooting is just a warm-up, the busy but worthwhile summer vacation is about to come.
