The Way of the Center

Chapter 95: A Strong Enemy That Must Be Taken Down

In China, An Jie has fallen into the center of public opinion, and the lives of An Jie's parents have also been messed up by brazen tabloid reporters. Of course, An's mother and An's father believed that her son was not a person who would do such a thing, but they said it was useless, and An Jie had to stand up and say something. It's a pity that it has been five days since the incident happened, and neither An Jie nor Lisa has made any comments on the matter.

An Jie is really concentrating on practicing shooting at this time. After the initial anxiety, now An Jie is not worried about this matter. Moslav had vented An Jie the day before yesterday, and in these two days, he would ask the reporter and Lisa to stand up and return An Jie's innocence.

Anjie is really grateful for what Moslav has done for him. It is because of Moslav's responsibility that Anjie can devote all his energy to basketball. As for Catherine and her parents, he has already explained everything he can explain. As long as the matter with Meslav is finalized, all misunderstandings will be resolved.

An Jie can't be distracted for a moment now. After being defeated by the weak Warriors in the previous game, the Thunder urgently need a victory to stabilize their momentum. However, their schedule does not give face at all. On December 8, when the Thunder are in desperate need of victory, they will meet the Eastern Conference powerhouse Orlando Magic in an away game!

When mentioning the current Magic team, the first thing everyone thinks of is the humorous new era All-Star center, "Warcraft" Dwight Howard.

This big man with unlimited potential, like most superstars, chose to skip college after graduating from high school and directly faced the challenge of the NBA. He became the third high school student No. 1 pick after Paul Brown and LeBron James, and since the NBA banned high school students from participating in the draft since the 2006-07 season, Howard became the last high school student in NBA history champion.

Howard is different from his predecessor Paul Brown. In his rookie season, Howard averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game. As a first-year rookie, he was the only one who started all 82 regular games in his rookie season. Race people.

Howard did not disappoint the Magic. He has made rapid progress in recent years, and the Magic have also started rebuilding the team around him. After years of precipitation, the Magic this season has become one of the strongest players in the NBA.

And in this game, the person who directly faced the fiery Howard was An Jie! This is also the reason why An Jie can't be disturbed by the outside world at all. In such a game, An Jie must take out all his belongings and maintain a good physical condition. Otherwise, that savage Warcraft will surely turn the world upside down in the Thunder's restricted area. You must know that when Carlesimo was still in office, the Thunder had played against the Magic. At that time, although Anjie only played against Warcraft for a few minutes, he performed very well.

However, in addition to the direct dialogue between Anjie and Howard, which is worthy of hype, another highlight of this game is undoubtedly the game showdown between Jeff and Stan, two big and small Van Gundy brothers.

Although Van Gundy is a few years older than Jeff, he started his coaching career later than Jeff, but this does not affect him from displaying his talents. While coaching the Heat, he even became the first All-Star coach in the history of the Heat.

After coming to the Magic last season, Stan Van Gundy also continued to maintain his momentum, leading the Magic to 52 wins in the regular season, and led the Magic to their first division since the 95-96 season. champion. The Magic did this last time under the leadership of "Shark" O'Neal.

Although the difference in strength between the Magic and the Thunder is huge from the books, it is precisely because of these highlights that this game still attracted much attention that day.

Jeff Van Gundy and his Thunder flew to Orlando early,

After taking a nap, he took the players into the Magic's home stadium, the Waterhouse Arena. Even in the face of a strong opponent, Jeff Van Gundy will not give up the game before the start of the game. No matter who he faces, he requires the players to work hard to win.

Warm-up, rest, tactical drills, rest, tactical lessons, although they came a lot earlier, the Thunder players were not idle at all. Just after the Thunder had made a lot of preparations, the Orlando Magic led by Howard entered the arena to warm up leisurely.

The two brothers, the younger and the younger, Van Gundy, stood together and chatted casually, as if the head coach and the assistant coach were chatting. These two people did not seem to be rivals at all.

As the two focal points of this game, Dwight Howard and An Jie also looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the extroverted and cheerful Howard took the initiative to walk towards An Jie. Looking at the muscular muscles on Howard's body, An Jie swallowed his saliva. The game later will be difficult for him. Although he only played against this guy for a few minutes last time, An Jie felt sore all over his body after he got off the court.

"Hi, Ann, did Lisa come with you?" Howard joked with An Jie with a smile. Of course, he also knew that An Jie had been in trouble recently.

"Uh..." An Jie knew that Howard meant no harm, but the joke still made him a little embarrassed.

"How are you preparing for the competition?" An Jie abruptly changed the subject.

"Don't worry Ann, I won't let you down." After speaking, Howard showed off his muscles again. This guy is really a representative of the Beastist center.

After the two chatted casually, Howard was called by Stan Van Gundy to warm up. Howard's enthusiastic and familiar personality made An Jie still very uncomfortable talking with him.

Seeing Howard's performance during the warm-up, An Jie also admired him a lot. It’s not that Howard made a shocking dunk during the warm-up, but that he missed seven consecutive shots without any interference, and the eighth goal was still a frontal hit... Watch With that extremely stiff shot, An Jie also admired these guys for being able to dominate the NBA arena with their bodies alone. The body is also a kind of talent.

Before the start of the game, reporters from various TV stations will also take photographers to the field to interview players. ESPN reporter Dorsey found An Jie again. This guy was the annoying guy who pressed An Jie and Carlesimo last time if they had conflicts.

"Hey Ann, can I take some of your time?" An Jie turned his head and saw Dorsey's disgusting baby face, An Jie really wanted to answer no.

"Ask." But of course, An Jie has not been dragged to the point where he can refuse the interview.

"This game is against Dwight Howard, one of the best centers in the league. Have you figured out how to deal with him?"

"If I tell you, will you go over and tell Dwight my secret later?" An Jie seriously pretended to be stupid, making the ESPN audience laugh.

"Oh, of course not, you can rest assured to tell me your secret." Dorsey's smile became awkward.

"Coach Jeff Van Gundy hasn't told me the secret about dealing with Dwight. If you're really interested, you can ask him." After speaking, Anjie waved to Van Gundy on the sidelines. Obviously, Dorsey was tricked by Anjie!

"Okay, let me ask another question! Is the scandal between you and Eva Lisa true? After losing the last game, will her appearance continue to affect your performance in this game!" Xi also decided not to leave any room for An Jie.

"Eva Lisa? Who is she? I have only been in the United States for a year, and I don't know many people. If she is your neighbor, please take me to say hello to her." Originally, this was a tricky question, but An Jie's answer made Dorsey speechless instead. An Jie would not be friendly to people with bad intentions.

"Okay, thank you, Anjie." Dorsey has always been known for his tricky questions. To put it bluntly, he likes to ask questions that embarrass others. But today, An Jie embarrassed him once.

After a long warm-up, both sides returned to the locker room. The Waterhouse arena is already full of fans, and the Magic this season is indeed something to look forward to. Almost every home game, tickets will be sold out early.

When jumping the ball in the middle circle, Howard smiled kindly at Anjie. But An Jie knew that once the game started, Howard would never be polite to himself.

Gossip or not, those are things outside of the basketball court. Now in An Jie's mind, there are only the tactics arranged by Van Gundy, and only the extroverted and humorous but actually dangerous Warcraft. Now the only thing An Jie thinks about is basketball, only the game!
