The Way of the Center

Chapter 517: The Second Longest Winning Streak in History

Yao Ming was sitting in the auditorium, and countless cameras were focused on him. But Yao Ming's expression was very calm, he just sat there and applauded, that's all. As if, this is just an ordinary victory.

In fact, Yao Ming had mixed feelings in his heart. At the moment when the game ended, he thought of standing up and cheering for Anjie and cheering for Anjie. But when he thought of Anjie defeating the Rockets, Yao Ming's joy diminished a bit.

22 consecutive victories, the shock that this record brought to people back then was no less than the 33 consecutive victories created by the Lakers. You know, in the modern basketball world, achieving 22 consecutive victories is no less difficult than achieving 33 consecutive victories.

People thought that the Rockets' record would last for a long time, but they didn't know that it was broken by another Chinese player in just five years.

"Incredible performance." McGrady looked at the Blazers players celebrating on the basketball court and couldn't help sighing. During the 22-game winning streak that year, McGrady missed a game because of the flu. But Anjie, with injuries, played all 22 games.

What about Yao Ming? In the last ten games of the 22-game winning streak that year, Yao Ming was absent due to injury. An Jie, on the other hand, participated in the whole process of recording. Such a comparison makes Anjie's record even more legendary.

"A very good boy, Yao, you must introduce us to each other." Mutombo also saw the iron-blooded defense that he liked very much in Anjie, which only belonged to their era.

Therefore, Anjie's performance in this game not only conquered the fans, but also conquered the previous person who set this record.

"This is fucking crazy! 22 consecutive victories!" Lillard yelled unscrupulously, even though this is the Rockets' home court. An older rookie who was "disgusted" by others, parachuted into the nba despite the huge doubts. How could he have imagined that in his rookie season, he would win so many games.

This guy was happily lying on Angie's back. Without the giant shoulders of Angie, Lillard's career would not have reached such heights.

The reporters have surrounded the entire stadium,

But because the players of the Trail Blazers were celebrating crazily beside An Jie, the reporters on the scene couldn't interview An Jie for a while. And some smart people rushed to the stands and found Yao Ming and his party.

"Yao, can I hold you up for a few minutes?"

"Tracey, watching the record you created yourself being overtaken by others, how do you feel in your heart!?"

"Dikembe, do you think Ann is the center forward who can dominate this era?"

The reporters threw a lot of questions to the "television trio", and the trio were naturally full of praise for Anjie and Blazers.

"A crazy kid, don't be fooled by his excellent defense. This guy's scoring level is also top-notch." McGrady replied with a smile.

"He is a rare outstanding traditional center in this era. An will definitely be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the center position." The African mountains have also been officially conquered by An Jie.

"If the Rockets' 22-game winning streak me and the current Anjie are pitted against each other, I have to admit that I can't beat him." Yao Ming naturally showed his trademark easy-going smile and unserious answers, which amused him. The people around me all smiled knowingly.

"Then what kind of position do you think he can promote your country's basketball to?"

When it comes to issues related to Chinese basketball, Yao Ming's expression and attitude are much more serious.

"An Jie is definitely what the current Chinese basketball world needs, but I think that An Jie is not enough for Chinese basketball alone. We must vigorously develop the professionalization of China's own basketball league and build a good youth basketball system. But having said that, I am looking forward to seeing An Jie lead the Chinese national team to create historic results. Just like the last World Championships, he led the national team to beat Spain for the first time in history."

Seeing that the interview became official and official, Mutombo and McGrady stopped talking. They watched the stadium silently. After being surrounded by his teammates, An Jie was surrounded by reporters.

This guy didn't refuse anyone's interview today. He was in a good mood, and he was quite talkative in front of countless microphones.

Owner of the Toyota Center? They had already left in despair. In this game, Harden scored a team-high 31 points and 11 assists, which can be said to have fully demonstrated his potential. His excellent performance on the offensive end allowed the Rockets to hit a gorgeous climax.

But now, no one will remember Harden. Even if he's playing really well, even if he's doing his best. At this moment, he can only live in the shadow of An Jie.

With 35 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Anjie's statistics today may not be much better than Harden's. But it was precisely because he was the final winner that he was treated like a king.

Praise, media, money, records, accolades. Divac is right, people will not care whether Anjie used flops in this game, they only know that Anjie has created a myth of 22 consecutive victories, and Harden is just a loser.

Good guys and villains? nonexistent. Here, there are only winners and losers.

A few days later, the Toyota Center will also be the venue for the 2013 All-Star Weekend. But the joyous Houston fans must not be able to laugh these days.

Sam Smith suddenly slumped down on the sofa of his own home, covering his head with his hands, looking very disappointed.

An Jie has successfully completed 22 consecutive victories, and the public's reputation for him now will definitely soar in a good direction. And what about Sam Smith? The person who said categorically that An Jie will definitely not succeed will definitely become a laughing stock!

Just like the first time, he said that Anjie would not get good data against a good center, and it turned out to be the beginning of Anjie's crazy winning streak.

Sam Smith couldn't bear such humiliation. He thought he was the most famous basketball reporter in the world, and he was an integral part of Jordan's journey to becoming a god! Without him back then, Jordan would not have been so hyped.

But now, this insult was placed in front of him alive. How fiercely he criticized An Jie at that time, how much humiliation he feels now.

At the press conference after the game, An Jie naturally mentioned his "good friend" Sam Smith.

"I'm sorry Mr. Sam, I'm sorry that I let you down. If you still think that you are not famous enough, welcome to continue to be my enemy!" An Jie's tough attitude was beyond everyone's expectation. An Jie didn't save any face for Sam Smith, a "highly respected" guy, he didn't give Sam a step down at all. Now the reporters also know that this guy, An Jie, can't be messed with!

Sam Smith's face was purple with anger at home, and he immediately began to write articles, criticizing Angie's dirty behavior of using flops and tricks several times in the game.

But the next day, Sam Smith's article was no longer the headline. His criticism was quickly drowned out under the louder praise, and Anjie is now the darling and hero of the entire basketball world. Those voices of doubt are like a star in the night sky, insignificant.

People don't offend me, I don't offend others. When Sam Smith decided to publicly humiliate Angie and Divac, he made an irreparable mistake.

An Jie will not give Sam Smith a step down now, nor will he in the future. It's not that An Jie is unreasonable, but that Sam Smith went too far from the very beginning.

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

The buzzing Rose Garden is full of seats today. To be precise, since the Trail Blazers brought back 22 consecutive victories from Houston, the attendance rate of Rose Garden has been 100%. That's right, the venue is full!

In addition to being on the court, the square outside the Rose Garden Arena was also crowded with people. The fans outside are like sincere believers, while the rose garden is a sacred church.

A close-up of Anjie appeared on the temporary Led screen outside the stadium, and the fans immediately cheered. In the hearts of Trail Blazers fans, if the Rose Garden is a church, then Anjie is the god in this church!

On the camera, An Jie strolled off the field, hugging and high-fiving his "little brother" Meyers Leonard. After leaving the field, countless fans stretched out their hands, and An Jie also touched them one by one. Eventually, the guy made his way to the bench area. Derek Fisher stood up and hugged Anjie, Lillard jumped on Anjie again, Divac and Ricard smiled at Anjie from ear to ear. If this was just an ordinary victory, the fans and Anjie's teammates would definitely not be so excited. Indeed, this is indeed an exaggerated master.

Anthony Davis looked at the big screen with blank eyes. He really couldn't believe that as the No. 1 pick, his career started so badly. The shooting rate of 4 of 15 shots is only 26%. As an insider, he is still the No. 1 pick. Anthony Davis's data is really unreasonable. And Anjie's performance of 29 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks cast a shadow on Davis' heart.

Perhaps this young man who originally played the 4th position no longer wants to be the 5th position.

The Hornets are now 30 points behind the Trail Blazers. Yes, a full 3o points.

In the stands of the Rose Garden, countless fans held up a sign with the number "25". It's not the number of every player on the Blazers, nor does it represent any special day. This number represents the number of winning streaks that the Trail Blazers are about to usher in!

The final game almost all ended with the cheers of the Trail Blazers fans. 99 to 63, Anjie led the Blazers to play a bloody massacre. The moment the game ended, the entire rose garden, whether it was on or off the court, became a sea of ​​joy.

An Jie stood in the center of the court, raised his arms high, and enjoyed the worship of the fans. He is the master here, he is the king here, he enjoys the moment of honor.

The cameras of various TV stations captured the scene of An Jie being worshiped as a king, and Wu Hua even raised his camera to record this precious and historic scene.

With 25 consecutive victories, Anjie and the Blazers have gone further and further in the historical record. And the name An Jie is increasingly associated with legends.

For Anjie and the fans, this is a paradise of joy. For Davis and the Hornets, Portland is a horrible purgatory. And the number one villain who controls this purgatory is called An Jie.

After achieving 22 consecutive victories, Anjie and the Trail Blazers still did not stop their footsteps.

Five days before the start of the All-Star weekend, they defeated three more teams.

They defeated the Magic 110 to 104, and the Raptors 108 to 100. Today, they slaughtered the Hornets 99 to 63. In five days, the Trail Blazers' record has become 25 consecutive victories. They became the team with the best record in the league at the node of the All-Star Game, none of them.

Moreover, the record of 25 consecutive victories also allowed them to officially surpass the Rockets, creating the second longest winning streak in the league.

As for the league's longest 33-game winning streak, it was created in 1972 by the incredible "Zhang 20,000" Chamberlain and Logo man Jerry West.

People are amazed by the Trail Blazers' feat. After all, in the modern basketball world, 25 consecutive victories is simply an incredible achievement. Another group of people discussed whether the Trail Blazers could break the record of 33 consecutive victories

As the All-Star Weekend approached and he was setting his own record, An Jie had received a lot of exclusive interviews these days. An Jie also met famous basketball reporters from all over the world.

, T.nT, Fox, Sky Sports, Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated... From China to the United States, from the United States to Europe. From TV stations to magazines, from magazines to online media. The interviews that An Jie has accepted in the past few days have spread all over the world, including all media channels.

Time magazine even made an appointment with Meslav, hoping to make this topical figure who has caused a storm around the world to be the cover of the latest issue of the magazine. Nike, on the other hand, is also striking while the iron is hot, and has fully launched the plan to build the second generation of the way of the center.

An Jie has had a lot of invitations in recent days, so he is naturally very busy. Even Catherine didn't have much time with An Jie.

Now, in Houston, a day before All-Star break begins. An Jie and Catherine who came with him finally had a chance to spend a night of ecstasy.

I hope that the night before the All-Star Weekend will not let An Jie waste too much energy...
