The Way of the Center

"Hurry up Morse, hurry up!" A female reporter with a microphone was running on the wooden floor in high heels.

"You know how heavy this machine is, I've tried my best!" The photographer followed behind with the machine on his back, the field was crowded with reporters, and the Thunder players were surrounded by layers.

The two partners didn't dare to slow down, if they slowed down, they wouldn't be able to squeeze in.

No way, who made the Thunder's performance in this game so amazing, and there are too many people worth interviewing.

"Ann! Ann! Can you answer me a question!? You scored 24 points and 11 rebounds in the first game of the new season. What kind of average data do you think you can get this season?" 24 points and 11 rebounds, Anjie often scored such statistics in his rookie season. But you have to know that An Jie scored this stat today without playing for a minute in the fourth quarter!

"You sent 13 assists tonight. Is this a signal of your new season's transformation?" Westbrook deliberately controlled his shots in this game. He made 7 of 12 shots and sent 13 assists. The efficiency is much higher than last season.

"25 points and 7 rebounds, kd, how would you rate your performance in the opening game?" Durant, the low-key core of the Thunder, took 24 shots without saying a word, and hit 10 of them. It can be seen from the number of shots that although the Thunder can score many people, Van Gundy's core is very clear.

"Morris, you scored 20 points in the first official game of your career! Did you think that you would score so many points before the game!?" In addition to the Thunder's third junior, Andrew Morris also became surrounded by reporters object.

20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. Although the team had the most 3 turnovers, this could not conceal the success of Morris's opening game.

In fact, Morris's offensive ability is really average, but today he unexpectedly played the entire fourth quarter, and facing the Kings' better than nothing inside defense, it is difficult for Morris not to get a high score.

"Before the game, I really didn't expect that I could see double-digit scores. The Thunder brothers were very supportive of me. In the fourth quarter, everyone was willing to feed the ball into my hands. I am very happy to join such a group." Morris, who averaged only 17 points per game in ncaa, scored 20 in the first game of nba. Although luck and many extra factors were involved, the first game of his career was amazing.

In addition to the above four, Ibaka, Sefoloza, Van Gundy and Krstic were all left on the sidelines by the reporters for interviews, which caused the entire Chesapeake Energy Arena to be like a vegetable market. Noisy and messy.

"Aren't you leaving, Tina, waiting for that kid again?" Abrahi felt more and more that something was wrong with Giardina, maybe she fell in love with that guy! ?

"Wait for Ann, I still want to chat with him." Giardina still sat quietly in the first row, looking at An Jie surrounded by reporters. During this period, no one would bother her except for a few people asking her for autographs occasionally. This night, the players of the Thunder are the biggest and brightest stars.

After returning to the locker room, the joyful atmosphere continued. Although they did not play the most amazing game today, after all, the Celtics and Hornets' 92 to 59 is too exaggerated, but the regrettable Thunder still showed a good performance last season. Everyone was playing in the locker room, and the first time this group of guys worked together was very pleasant.

"Hey, Ann, come with me later to do some shopping before I go home,

My mom finished her cod liver oil again. Morris spoke to Angie as he put on his shoes. He and Angie have been practically inseparable since arriving in Oklahoma City.

"I'm afraid you have to go back by yourself today buddy, I have an appointment later." An Jie saw that Giardina hadn't left in the audience before returning to the locker room, so he must be waiting for him.

"The friend you picked up this morning?" Morris suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, that friend."

"Okay, then I'll go first." After bumping fists with An Jie, Morris left the locker room alone.

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

"Of course I know who you are, Miss, but this is the arena's regulations. You have nothing to do here at this late hour." The security guards of the Chesapeake Energy Arena have advised Giardina and Abra Xi left for a long time, but the stubborn Giardina insisted on staying, and she believed that An Jie would definitely not leave first.

Abrahi was naturally defending Giardina, so he argued with the security guard.

"Your team's owner, Mr. Presti, knows what will happen if you drive us away?" Abrahim was really angry with this reckless security guard.

"But this is Mr. Rules, I can't work overtime here for free just for the two of you." The security guard's attitude is not bad, it's just that he just offends this powerful manager who cares about his identity.

"Hey Paul, don't worry, the two of them are waiting for me here, let's go right away." It wasn't until An Jie came out of the player tunnel that the matter was finally resolved.

"Okay Ann, I'm sorry sir." The security guard shook his head and left the arena where the lights were about to be turned off.

"Sorry Tina, the water pipe in the shower room in the locker room is broken, so it took a little longer." An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly. He didn't lie. When An Jie was about to take a shower, the water pipe in the locker room was broken. It exploded suddenly. If it weren't for the maintenance workers who took care of it urgently, the Thunder's locker room might be completely flooded.

"It's okay, we didn't wait long." Giardina immediately became happy after seeing Anjie. How long did it matter?

"Uh...it's getting late now, where do you want to go to play?" After playing the game, changing clothes and taking a shower, it was already 10:30 in the evening. An Jing looked at his watch, really not knowing where he could take Giardina.

"Mr. Abrahi, or you should go back first. Ann will take me to the hotel later." Giardina smiled and bowed to Abrahi. She hoped to get some time alone with Anjie time.

Now Abrahi knew exactly what his client was thinking, so he didn't object, but asked Anjie to take good care of Giardina before leaving.

"Did you drive here, Ann?" After Abrahi left, Giardina turned and spoke to Anjie.

After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time she was alone with An Jie. This little girl who has become an idol but is only 17 years old became a little nervous.

"It's open, but my car only has two seats..."

"Isn't this just right! Let's go, Ann, drive me around, wherever you want." Giardina didn't care what he was going to do with An Jie at all, the important thing was to take the time to be with An Jie .

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the streets of Oklahoma City were deserted. Whether it is high-rise buildings or spacious roads, there are only a few sporadic lights dotted with them. It was very quiet outside, just like in the morning, the roar of Anjie's rx7's unique rotary engine filled the entire street, bringing the only trace of noise to this quiet city.

"This is the National Memorial Plaza in Oklahoma City. The artificial lake inside is very clear. There are also time gates and bronze statues commemorating the Oklahoma City explosion in 1995. Do you want to get off the car and have a look?" An Jie pointed to a brightly lit place not far from the street, which is one of the most famous attractions in Oklahoma City.

"No, I don't want to go down, so let's just wander around, you don't have to take me to these attractions on purpose." Giardina smiled at An Jie, showing her charm.

"Ann, what do you think of me?" The two were silent for a while, and after driving through a few blocks, Giardina suddenly asked Anjie a question.

"Ah? How about what?" An Jie looked at Giardina, only to find that Giardina had been staring at him for a long time.

"Anything is fine, I just want to hear what kind of person I am in your heart." Giardina wanted to put his hand on An Jie's, but still couldn't muster up the courage.

"Beautiful and beautiful, easy to get along with, has a moving voice, and is very enthusiastic." An Jie said while driving.

"How beautiful is it?" After asking, Giardina's face turned red instantly. Now she can't wait to swallow that sentence back.

"I think more than half of the men in this country are obsessed with your beauty. What's the matter Giardina, have you had any difficulties at work recently?" An Jie continued to pretend to be stupid, and tried to change the topic.

"I just want you to be obsessed with me." Giardina said to himself...

It was not until half past twelve that Giardina asked Anjie to take her back. Although she didn't get any words out of An Jie's mouth, she was very happy to be alone with An Jie.

"Thank you, Ann, for delaying you for so long." Giardina still thought about it after getting out of the car.

"As long as you're happy, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yeah, there's still a lot of promotional activities for the new album." Giardina felt weak at the thought of having to spend the next day on the plane again.

"Okay, I wish you a good journey, and I will entertain you when you come to Oklahoma City more in the future." An Jie doesn't hate this girl, he really wants to be friends with Giardina, but Jia But Aldina doesn't just want to be friends with Anjie.

The two said goodbye, and Giardina turned and walked into the hotel until the rx7's engine sound disappeared at the end of the street. Oklahoma City, because of An Jie's existence, has a fatal attraction for her.

After returning home, An Jie sent Catherine a good night text message, and then went to bed with peace of mind. He has not forgotten who is his girlfriend.

He has to hurry up and rest. After training tomorrow, the Thunder will leave Oklahoma and head to Detroit for their first away game of the season.

Although the schedule is very busy, it is also very necessary to take time to deal with interpersonal relationships.

An Jie soon fell asleep. After all, after an NBA-level game, An Jie didn't have the energy to think about things other than the game... (To be continued.)
