The Way of the Center

After the time has entered December, the strength ranking list given by the official NBA website finally has some reference value.

The team that dominates the rankings is undoubtedly the unstoppable Zijin Army. The Los Angeles Lakers played a total of 14 games throughout November, and their record in November was 14 wins and 0 losses! The Lakers have not lost for a whole month, and such a team deserves to be ranked first.

The second place is the Cleveland Cavaliers led by the little emperor James. Their record of 14 wins and 3 losses makes them lag behind the Lakers. It is precisely because of this that the 23VS24 matchup has become the number one hype object in the NBA.

Although Anjie's Oklahoma City Thunder achieved a good result of three consecutive victories at the last moment of November, they fell behind too much. With 12 losses and 4 wins, the Thunder team ranked third from the bottom in the league. As many critics predicted before the game, the Thunder team was at the bottom of the list.

However, there are as many as 82 games in the regular season, and Presti is full of confidence in the Thunder's three young men and Jeff Van Gundy. It doesn't matter if he falls behind in the first month, he believes that the Thunder will only get better and better.

Sure enough, the Thunder ushered in their first game of the month on December 3. On this day they came to Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats away. Moreover, the Thunder have made a good start since December.

The game was still very intense. In front of the Thunder, the Bobcats' lineup was considered very luxurious.

"Elvis" Gerald Wallace and Kevin Durant had a big fight, and both sides showed their super offensive ability on the offensive end.

Wallace scored a Bobcats-high 24 points, while Durant scored a game-high 25 points. After the fierce competition, the two can be said to be evenly matched.

Westbrook is getting better, and after a month of baptism, Westbrook's offense is even more handy. In this game, his score once again exceeded 20. Although he missed two three-pointers, his total shooting rate of 46% is already very good compared to before.

And the person who really decided the outcome of the game was An Jie who scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists. Facing the powerful Emeka Okafor, Anjie completely suppressed the No. 2 in 2004 on both offense and defense. Another data close to a triple-double, Anjie has been called the strongest No. 12 rookie in history by many experts.

It was Anjie's organization on the offensive end and toughness on the defensive end that allowed the Thunder to play at their favorite rhythm throughout the game. 103 to 97, Jeff Van Gundy is undefeated after taking over the Thunder.

While Anjie performed well, the management of the Kings has naturally been questioned from all sides. Fortunately, as Anjie's trading chip, Jeff Green's performance in the Kings is not bad, so the pressure faced by the Kings management is still within the tolerable range. But do you dare to say that the general manager of the Kings has no regrets?

While Anjie has repeatedly performed all-round performances, his commercial value has also continued to soar. Originally, Anjie's skin color was a very hype-worthy content, and now Anjie and the Thunder team are gaining momentum, so many commercial contracts have also followed.

At 9:30 in the evening, An Jie was still training himself in the well-equipped Chesapeake Energy Arena. He forced himself in his heart to make up for the extra training that he had left behind due to self-abandonment some time ago. At this time, even Durant had already changed his clothes and was about to leave. The future leader of the team is already very demanding on his own training, but it is far from reaching the point where Anjie forgets to eat and sleep.

An Jie is a lunatic, he doesn't know what rhythm is in training. If he hadn't kept Divac's warning in mind, An Jie might have practiced even harder.

"Hey Ann, finish training early and rest early, I'm leaving first!" Durant, who was wearing a down jacket, greeted An Jie before leaving.

At this time, An Jie was wearing a basketball uniform, and he was so hot that he was sweating all over his body.

"Okay, good night Kevin." An Jie was holding up the dumbbells. He didn't stop what he was doing, but just said goodbye to Durant.

Durant smiled and shook his head, and walked towards the exit. He is very fortunate to have a teammate like An Jie, the positive effect this guy brings to the team is too great. He couldn't imagine what the Thunder would be like without Anjie's inside barrier.

After another hour of practice, An Jie finally returned to the locker room, ready to end the day's training. Just then, An Jie's cell phone rang.

After An Jie continued to become popular, the manager, Moslav, was also very busy. He was a little soft on accepting various contracts, no, now there was another business contract that he had to discuss with An Jie, so the two of them had this phone call.

"Let me guess, which video game is inviting me to play again?" An Jie knew the purpose of Moslav's call, and he directly joked about it.

"It's Gatorade. I think you will have your own Gatorade drink in the near future." Advertising commission is the biggest source of income for player managers, so managers are generally the most active in this kind of thing. of.

"Mr. Meslav, what do you think of the contract?" An Jie asked directly, and Meslav also explained the key points of the contract to An Jie in the most simple and easy-to-understand language. An Jie didn't need to read the contract by himself at all, as Moslav said yes, that's fine. Although Moslav is An Jie's manager, he is also An Jie's own family. And An Jie had absolute trust in his family.

After talking about the contract, An Jie called Catherine and her parents as usual. When all this is done, it means that An Jie's day is over.

But this night, An Jie's life experienced some unexpected waves.

When An Jie went to the underground parking lot but came out on a bicycle, a man in a jeep was so shocked that he couldn't speak. An ordinary family in the United States would not have too much pressure to maintain a car, not to mention that An Jie is still a player in the NBA. Such a person actually just rides a bicycle to and from get off work every day.

In fact, the problem of An Jie not buying a car is not because of the money, but that An Jie doesn't know much about cars, and he doesn't have time to choose, so he has always relied on bicycles for transportation.

An Jie rode back home quickly, but An Jie didn't notice that a jeep was following him far away.

When An Jie pushed open the gate of his yard, he found that the grass seemed to shake a few times unnaturally.

There were not many people in the neighborhood where An Jie lived. At first An Jie thought it was a stray dog, but after a while the grass moved again, and An Jie felt a little worried.

"Burglary? Robbery?" An Jie turned on the headlights in the yard, but the lights were still dim. Slowly, An Jie approached the grass, ready to find out.

As An Jie got closer, a person jumped out of the grass. An Jie was indeed taken aback by the sudden appearance, and was caught off guard, but the woman who jumped out suddenly hugged An Jie, and the two kissed passionately together.

An Jie immediately pushed the man away, and the girl quickly ran out of An Jie's yard when she saw this.

"Damn it! What are you doing!?" An Jie looked at the girl running wildly in confusion, but ignored the jeep that was also driving away slowly.

To know the relationship between NBA players and women, it can be so complicated that it can be made into a TV series. Even Mr. Wade, a good man, had indecent sex scandals.

But the most famous of them is the story of "Zhang 20,000". The NBA has never lacked entanglements between players and women. Every season, there will be more or less rumors about the players. If there is no such rumor, it would not be called the NBA.

You may ask players are so busy every day, where do they have time to find so many women. But in the NBA world, women don't need to look for them at all. Every arena is filled with hot and beautiful female fans. As long as the players are willing, there will always be women who will come to their door automatically, and there are more than one of them. .

Every man will inevitably lose control of his lower body when faced with such a temptation. Of course, An Jie has also been rounded up by female fans, but he is always very shy when facing overly enthusiastic female fans. Not only because An Jie was born in a very traditional country and family, but more importantly, the position of a woman in An Jie's heart has already been filled by that naughty Catherine.

It is precisely because of this that An Jie's teammates often joke about this matter with An Jie. They don't know that An Jie has a girlfriend. A normal adult man lives alone in Oklahoma City all day. Except for training, he stays alone in that huge house. Can people make fun of this? ?

Whenever An Jie was asked questions about women, he always smiled and refused to answer. He didn't want people to know about Catherine, and he didn't want Catherine's life to be disturbed.

But if An Jie doesn't find a woman and doesn't give the tabloids the opportunity to make news, it doesn't mean that the tabloids won't take the initiative to attack. Isn't the most powerful point of these gossip tabloids is to distort the facts? With just one photo, they can make up a storybook. However, in the jeep that just drove away, a reporter was looking at the picture of An Jie and the girl kissing with satisfaction.

Do you think Anjie's skin color and nationality can't attract the attention of the tabloids? For them, Anjie is also full of commercial value.

An Jie couldn't figure out what happened to him just now. He didn't know that he had unknowingly become a cash cow for gossip magazines.

Early the next morning, An Jie was woken up by the phone ringing. He didn't know what was going on, he picked up the phone and the caller ID showed his manager.

"Why so early, Mr. Meslav." An Jie's tone was still full of sleepiness.

"What's the matter with you, An Jie! How can you make such a mistake at such a time!?" Moslav's voice was very severe.

"What's the matter?" An Jie was also at a loss when he was yelled at like this.

Suddenly, An Jie remembered the unusual incident when he went home yesterday. Could it really be related to that?

"Haven't you read the news yet? The photo of you kissing a girl passionately in the yard in the middle of the night has been spread all over the place!" Moslav looked at the small magazines on his desk with a splitting headache. Originally, the photo itself was nothing. It is normal for two grown men and women to kiss, but looking at the accompanying text in the magazine, it is simply unsightly!

An Jie probably knew what was going on in his head, which was good, he was only focused on playing basketball, but unexpectedly this kind of thing would still happen to An Jie.

But An Jie is not worried about his reputation at all at this time, what he is worried about is whether Catherine will be bewitched by these news!
