The Way of the Center

Chapter 49: Pulling the Curtain

After returning to Ames after failure, the Cyclones players were unexpectedly welcomed and encouraged by fans from all over the city. Fans gathered around the entrance of the Iowa State University's stadium, waiting for the return of the heroes.

They were treated like winners, the fans loved the lads and cherished their time with the team. Unlike the relatively stable lineups of NBA teams, NCAA teams have very different lineups almost every year. Some participated in the draft, some graduated, and some were busy with their studies. Of course, there will be a lot of new blood joining every year. This season, who led the Cyclones to the Sweet 16, how many fans will see next season?

An Jie is what the fans are most reluctant to part with. It would be fine if he announced that he would play in the NCAA for another year, but if An Jie directly participates in the draft, then the core of the Cyclone team will no longer be able to lead the team to challenge the giants.

"Don't go, Ann."

"Let's play for another year."

"we need you."

Several fans held big signs, hoping that the core of the team would stay. An Jie admitted that his heart was a little shaken, go to the **** draft, he also wants to lead the Cyclones back to March Madness.

"If you give up this opportunity, then your future will become very unclear!" After a day off, Divac personally visited Anjie's rental house, and he came to persuade Anjie to participate in the draft. Divac turned serious when he heard Angie say he still wanted to play in college.

"If I can produce better statistics next season and let the Cyclones improve further, wouldn't my draft prospects be better." An Jie's voice became softer and weaker, and he had no confidence.

"You know you're kidding yourself, you just don't want to face it. You played against Brandon Rush who was just as naive as you, and ended up having his career delayed by college basketball. It's not for everyone. Directly participating in the draft, not everyone is suitable to continue to hone in college. When it is time to go up, you must not stop." Divac does not want Anjie to waste time, even if he is still so young.

"But my family..."

"You have to discuss with them slowly. This is indeed a major event related to your life. But my professional opinion is that if you can participate in the draft this year, it will never be delayed until next year." Divac knows how talented Anjie is, He has been able to dominate the inside in the NCAA. Now there is only one step forward, and only in the NBA can this kid's progress be undelayed. If he continues to play in the NCAA, then he can learn too little.

"Thank you for your suggestion, well, it's getting late. Let's go, I'll take you to a great Chinese restaurant for Chinese food." An Jie looked at his watch and ended the serious conversation between the two .

...................

Anjie's NCAA competition this season is over, but his college life this semester is still going on.

"The essence of control survey, detail survey and construction stakeout is to determine the position of the point, and the determination of the point position is inseparable from the three basic observations of distance, angle and height difference. Therefore, the three basic tasks of surveying It is: distance measurement, angle measurement, and height difference measurement; the three basic elements to determine the position of the ground point are distance; angle and height difference." The teacher of the engineering surveying class drew a lot of densely packed pictures on the podium, and An Jie also Study hard below. However, returning to China to work after graduation, is that really the life you want?

Divac also said that if he just graduated and went back to China to work on a construction site, it would be a waste of such a good basketball talent.

To be a professional player? That was my dream since I was a child. When he used to play basketball games on the computer, An Jie would pinch a character with similar technical characteristics to himself, and then compete with his idols in the NBA arena in the game world.

Even if there is a possibility of failure, he is still unwilling to give up this opportunity to realize his dream. What's more, after playing basketball in the NCAA for a year, An Jie's confidence in himself has also increased a lot.

"An, you answer this question." The teacher saw that An Jie, who had always had good grades, was actually distracted, so he reminded him in this way.

Sure enough, An Jie couldn't answer. But after the question and answer, An Jie returned to his own thoughts again, and did not focus on the class at all because he was called to answer the question.

An Jie's mind is full of basketball now, and he can't leave the game anymore.

Even though this season is over, Anjie still continues to train strictly every day, and Divac still teaches Anjie systematically. Whether it's for next season's NCAA competition or the upcoming NBA draft, he has to be ready.

Divac felt that there was not much he could teach this kid now. The only thing An Jie didn't learn from Divac now was experience, but this thing couldn't be taught. Now An Jie's progress is not as fast as before, because he has learned less new things. He needs better training, the kind of training that can only be found in the NBA.

The technical teaching has encountered a bottleneck, but there are still many things Anjie needs to improve physically. Whether it is physical fitness or athletic ability, Anjie can't meet the requirements of the NBA now.

The current center is too slow. Divac thought of the four major centers who competed with him back then. Which one was not physically fit and athletic? It is easy for An Jie to play in the NBA, but Divac is by no means short-sighted. He wants An Jie to be successful in the NBA, not just being able to play the ball.

The boring equipment training, the boring nutrition package, and the naked hand-to-hand fights with Divac every day, Anjie's life doesn't seem to be much easier than it was at the beginning of the game, except for the life that the beautiful Chinese-American girl can occasionally give him. Apart from bringing a gleam of brilliance, An Jie's daily life is no different from hell.

With Anjie's never-stop training, this season's NCAA March Madness Championship has finally come to an end. UCLA, which eliminated Anjie and the others, did not win the championship as they wished. They met the University of Memphis led by Derek Rose in the semifinals.

Kevin Love, who had a great battle with the University of Memphis, played abnormally, scoring only 12 points on 4 of 12 shots. Westbrook didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to face the No. 1 candidate. In order to prove himself, he challenged Rose crazily, just like he once crazily challenged Anjie.

The peak duel between Westbrook and Derrick Rose was very exciting. Westbrook scored 22 points, while Derrick Rose scored 23 points. The two played inextricably and matched each other. But another guard of the University of Memphis, D.C. Roberts, scored 32 points, ruining UCLA's championship dream.

In the NCAA March Madness Finals, Derrick Rose lived up to expectations and led the team here. And his opponent is the University of Kansas from the Big 12 League.

The University of Kansas relied on its excellent integrity all the way through, and finally came to the finals as the No. 1 seeded team in the Big 12.

Everyone is looking forward to Rose being able to win the NCAA championship, win the MOP, and then enter the NBA as the No. 1 pick. This is simply a perfect script.

However, the University of Kansas played the role of the bad guy. They personally destroyed the dreams of Derrick Rose and countless fans.

The tenacious resistance of the University of Kansas dragged the game into overtime with Chalmers' three-pointer at the buzzer before the whistle.

In overtime, the University of Kansas went all out to win the exhausted No. 1 candidate and unexpectedly won the NCAA March Madness Championship. Chalmers was also selected as the MOP by surprise.

In fact, as long as you analyze carefully, you will find that the University of Kansas deserves to win the championship. Although they don't have a bright star like Derrick Rose in their team, every position is very balanced and everyone can stand out.

The Cyclones are lucky, at least they have played against this season's NCAA champion, and they have caused a lot of trouble for each other.

Looking at the scene of the University of Kansas winning the championship, An Jie was deeply moved, but he was also convinced, who made them lose to the University of Kansas.

Too many things have happened in this season, and An Jie's life has been completely rewritten. The old page has been turned, and the new one has just begun to be written.

(The chapter of college basketball is officially over. I have written 17w words and have not reached the nba, so everyone has been waiting for a long time. Next, I will officially enter the chapter of nba. I hope everyone will continue to support it.)
