The Way of the Center

The days in the Dream training camp were not easy. Although the training intensity was not high, An Jie was still sweating profusely from exhaustion every day. ★Exquisite~Cai'East'Fang'Wen'Learning wWw.JDF99.c○Hand typed★

Kobe's diligence and paranoia exceeded An Jie's imagination. If he failed to practice technical movements one day, he would repeat them tirelessly, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even more.

Kobe is already one of the top players in the league, but his demands on himself have never been lowered.

With a companion like Kobe, Anjie's enthusiasm was naturally aroused. Seeing that superstars like Kobe are working hard, Anjie has no reason to be lazy.

On July 15, just after Anjie finished training and was sent to the hotel by Kobe, he received a strange call.

The caller ID of this phone gave An Jie a kind feeling, because this string of numbers came from China.

"Hello?" An Jie answered the phone and sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby. Because he was afraid that if he entered the elevator, his mobile phone would lose signal.

"It's An Jie." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, may I ask who you are?" Although he was already a public figure, An Jie was still very polite to others.

"Oh, haha, I'm Gong Luming, the team leader of the Chinese men's basketball team this time. I'm calling to inform you in advance that you have been selected for the national team and will compete with the team in the Men's Basketball Asian Championships in August. The official The written notice may arrive in a day or two." Although An Jie had registered with the Chinese Basketball Association before he officially entered the NB, it was all arranged by Muslav himself, and An Jie didn't have to work on his own. Therefore, Gong Luming was the first person An Jie had really come into contact with with this system.

"Ah!? Oh! Thank you Gong Luming for your guidance, so when will you join the national team?" An Jie didn't expect such an important message to come from this sudden call.

"The team has already started training camp, but considering you have your own arrangements, you just need to report before August 1st." Gong Luming smiled, showing no signs of leading the team.

Since Yao Ming achieved great success in nb, the current basketball association has become much more open than before. Most players who play in the nb can have "privileges". For example, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian can be approved by the Basketball Association to train abroad on their own, and then join the national team later. And now, An Jie, who is only in the first grade, has already obtained this right.

An Jie was born in a good era. This was seven or eight years ago. If An Jie insisted on staying in the Big Dream training camp and not joining the national team, he might be detained immediately. Treason" hat.

Ma Jian, Wang Zhizhi, Battelle and even Yao Ming, the tragic sacrifices made by their predecessors have given the new generation of players such as An Jie and Yi Jianlian a better living environment.

"Okay, I see, thank you Gong Luming for your guidance."

"How is it?" Just as Gong Luming hung up the phone, Guo Shiqiang, the head coach of the national team, came up to ask. Players played outside the system are generally left with the impression of being "unmanageable", not to mention An Jie's arrogant and rough performance on the court makes Guo Shiqiang worried.

Yao Ming was injured, and the strength of the national team was immediately reduced. The boss was tight, saying that he must win the championship in Asia, so Guo Shiqiang had to choose to recruit An Jie, who was not familiar with him. Otherwise, in Guo Shiqiang's heart, he didn't want to bring An Jie to the national team. This is why An Jie received the notification so late, because Guo Shiqiang made the decision almost before the deadline for registration for the Asian Championships.

A guy who has never played in China has only a few days of training with the national team before he will play a game, and it is also a game that the higher-ups attach great importance to. It's okay for An Jie to adapt, but if he can't adapt and play in a mess, all the blame will be pointed at him as the head coach. After all, Anjie's success in NB is in front of everyone's eyes, and his strength is beyond doubt. To blame, only to blame him.

"Don't worry, Shiqiang, he didn't grow up in America.

Before the age of 19, An Jie lived in China and received Chinese education. Don't worry, this guy is no different from Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others. "Gong Luming actually didn't expect An Jie to be so polite to him.

"You also know that there is tight pressure on Hu Jiashi above, and Dayao is injured again. The task of winning the championship is very difficult. Therefore, I dare not add uncertain factors." Guo Shiqiang didn't have any personal opinions on An Jie, just For the sake of the team's success in winning the championship. After all, basketball is not a simple "112" game. Under inappropriate circumstances, 11 may also be less than zero. An Jie's outstanding performance in nb does not mean that he can improve the strength of the national team.

"Don't worry about so many talented people. An Jie will definitely be able to integrate into the national team. Is it easier to integrate into the American team than into the team of his own country? Jay adapts well from the start. This kid, adaptability should not be a problem."

The Chinese men's basketball team began preparations for the Asian Championships in Tianjin, while An Jie continued to stay in Houston to improve his low-post ability.

An Jie thought that the Dameng training camp would only improve his low-post offense. Unexpectedly, after playing against Dameng again and again, An Jie's low-post defense ability also improved.

In the past, Anjie couldn't prevent Craig Smith's back and turn around and small throws, but under the guidance of Olajuwon, if Anjie meets Craig Smith again, he will definitely not suffer.

Because Olajuwon is such a player with comprehensive skills, a back-up turn and a small throw is not a strange move for Olajuwon, but a conventional weapon. And he would naturally hand over all of this to An Jie, who had placed his high hopes on him.

An Jie's performance is still outstanding. Last season, he almost never made throws. Although his technical moves are still a bit lame, his progress is obvious.

"People say that throwing shots are the patent of small guards. In fact, our centers also need throwing skills. When you can't get inside with strength and can't shake your opponent away with your feet, besides passing the ball, throwing shots can also help. You solve the problem." Also a slender and tall center, Olajuwon is sure that throwing shots will become another scoring weapon for Anjie.

The days of the training camp continued day by day, and after the tenth day, An Jie could only participate in the training alone. Because Kobe Bryant, who invited Anjie to dinner every day, had finished his training and left Houston.

"Next season we will compete in the low post!" This is a text message Kobe sent to Anjie before leaving.

When watching games before, An Jie always wondered why two players who were obviously opponents would hug each other and say hello before the game. Now An Jie knew that those people were not showing off, but because they were real friends off the court.

If Anjie goes to the Staples Center next season, he will also give Kobe, the biggest opponent, a hug.

Kobe left, but Anjie did not relax his training.

Olajuwon saw that Anjie learned quickly and taught more. At the beginning, An Jie could only learn one technical movement a day, but later on, An Jie could learn two to three moves a day, and the absorption was equally good.

July 30th is coming soon, and Anjie has not had a day off in these 22 days, and Olajuwon has also taken the trouble to accompany Anjie.

When the last day of training was over, An Jie was reluctant to part with this training camp.

The trainer, Olajuwon and the facility, have been with him for a whole month, a good month.

During this period, Dameng asked An Jie to dance jazz dance and asked An Jie to do yoga. All kinds of hilarious scenes are still vivid in my mind. After all, a 2.19-meter tall man stacked on the mat is indeed very funny.

Flexibility, footsteps, skills, Olajuwon's training for Anjie is very comprehensive, and there are many of them. Because he knew that with An Jie's learning ability and basic basketball skills, coupled with his diligence, it would be no problem to learn these.

"Okay, as long as you can continue to play, you will definitely meet me." Seeing Anjie who was still reluctant to leave after changing his clothes, Olajuwon went up and patted his disciple on the shoulder.

In the new season, Olajuwon hasn't looked forward to it for a long time. I don't know if my hard work in the past month has been in vain? Bryant was a perimeter player and had already made a name for himself, so even if he did, people wouldn't attribute it to Olajuwon's training camp.

But if Anjie makes a qualitative leap next season, the Olajuwon training camp will definitely become famous again.

It is definitely not a small amount to spend 100,000 U.S. dollars on training for 22 days. It is 600,000 to 700,000 yuan when converted into RMB, and you must know that this is the price that Olajuwon only charges half of the tuition fee. But An Jie felt that the money was well spent.

Although he was reluctant, An Jie had already pre-booked the air ticket for the day, so he had to leave.

After a month of gilding, it's time for An Jie to go to the Asian Championships to see how effective the training has been.

When Chinese fans knew that An Jie had been recruited into the national team, they didn't have much reaction. Because of this well-known basketball player in China, being selected for the national team is almost a certainty.

As soon as An Jie got off the plane, he was warmly received by the staff of the Basketball Association. That night in Tianjin, An Jie was sent to have a very "political" dinner with those Basketball Association officials.

After all, this was An Jie's first contact with this system, and the officials also took the opportunity to show their faces in front of An Jie and play a big role.

Such a dinner party made An Jie very uncomfortable, but he knew that this was the status quo of the Basketball Association. An Jie can only endure and adapt, not complain.

Moslav told An Jie about all kinds of shady things in the Basketball Association, but An Jie was unwilling to approach or contact him. He just wanted to do his job well, lest he be caught. After all, the temptation to serve the country is something that most people cannot refuse.

The next day, August 1st, Anjie came to the training base with a bunch of small souvenirs bought from Houston. A good relationship with the players of the national team is also an indispensable part of survival here. After Yao Ming expressed dissatisfaction with Battelle in 2004, can you still see Battelle in the national team?

Although on the surface, Gong Luming encouraged the players to give up "personal grievances", and even arranged for "old enemies" to stay together. But the problem of the system cannot be changed by Gong Luming with a little fuss.

Fortunately, with the strong support of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, An Jie was not left out. Although he played well in nb and won the best rookie, the young An Jie is still very humble, which also makes the "big brothers" of the national team very satisfied.

"It's good to get used to it. In fact, we are not as unbearable as people say." Wang Zhizhi, the leader of the national team's locker room, continued to help An Jie to solve the problem. Although An Jie is very young and it is the first time to be selected for the national team, Wang Zhizhi knows that An Jie will take Yao Ming's place, and he will be the key to whether the Chinese team can win the championship.

In addition to the good interpersonal relationship, An Jie adapted to Guo Shiqiang's tactics very quickly. An Jie may be one of the centers who can read the game best in the nb league. Ricard has already helped Guo Shiqiang to train him on the tactical level. After all, with the foundation in college, there is no problem for An Jie to adapt to an unfamiliar team.

Everything is going on the right track, and the state of Anjie after more than three months of rest will be announced in Tianjin soon!

On August 6th, in the group stage of the Men's Basketball Asian Championships, the match between China and India will be the first time Anjie will put on the jersey of the country and play for the country!

Tickets have been snatched up for a long time, just waiting for the Oriental Tower to continue to bloom on the land of its own country! To be continued.
