The Way of the Center

As in previous years, when the holidays came, An Jie didn't even want to watch NBA games. Bi "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info The current record of each team has nothing to do with him. What's the point of watching your former opponents go for the championship?

After the Thunder disbanded in Oklahoma, Morris and Angie also packed their bags and went their separate ways. Last year, Anjie was able to travel with Durant and Westbrook, but this year, everyone's business activities have increased exponentially, and it is difficult to make an appointment. So not to mention Durant and Westbrook, even Angie couldn't squeeze out the time to travel with Morris.

Among other things, just one World Championship is enough to keep An Jie busy for a while. Last summer, Anjie shined in the Asian Championships, but the scale and competition level of the World Championships are unmatched by the Asian Championships. This event has also become the most important thing for Anjie this summer.

But Anjie and Morris have agreed that they will participate in the Drew League together this summer. An Jie didn't know much about this league, but he heard that Morris met many NBA players when he participated in the league last year. The Drew League is definitely a good place to adjust your physical condition and prepare for the new season.

But that's all at the end of the holiday, and now, Angie and Morris's holiday has just begun.

After boarding the plane, Anjie returned to China to visit his parents, and Morris also returned to Bethesda to visit his family.

Of course, even if he returns to China, Moslav doesn't intend to let Anjie just be idle. In addition to accompanying his parents, An Jie also has countless business activities to participate in every day. Although the Thunder currently paid Anjie only over two million dollars in salary, Anjie's annual income was actually close to five million dollars. Meslav's endorsements and commercial activities for Angela are the source of this income.

But being able to live in a familiar home makes An Jie feel very happy no matter how tired he is. In the past few years in the United States, An Jie has lived in countless five-star hotels and been to countless villas. His own house in Oklahoma City is also a small villa.

But these things are still not as comfortable as at home. Familiar bed, familiar room, familiar furniture, familiar meals... When he was still in high school in China, An Jie hoped that he could live independently without the discipline of his parents. But when he really left home for a long time, he realized how naive his idea was.

No matter where you are born, no matter whether your quality of life is good or bad, home is always the most comfortable and warmest place.

After spending ten days happily with his parents, An Jie will leave his hometown without stopping. But this time he didn't need to go abroad, but went to Shanghai to meet Yao Ming.

Back at the end of the Thunder's season,

Yao Ming sent an invitation to An Jie, hoping that he could come to Shanghai as a guest. Naturally, An Jie would not refuse the invitation from the iconic figure of Chinese basketball, so the two parties agreed to meet at the end of May. Just a week ago, Yao Ming and An Jie confirmed the date, and An Jie also put this matter on the agenda.

"Brother Yao, how is your injury?" The first thing An Jie said when he saw Yao Ming was to ask about his injury.

"If there is no serious problem, I can catch up with the Rockets' training camp this summer. My foot is already full of scars. If I suffer another serious injury, I may have to consider retirement." Yao Ming stared at himself injured foot, replied with a smile.

"Retire!?" An Jie couldn't believe that Yao Ming would say this word. In the Western Conference semifinals last year, Yao Ming led a single-core team that nearly defeated the Lakers. It can be said that it was the most brilliant series in Yao Ming's career. Yao Ming just turned 30 this year, and this is the golden stage of a professional player, especially a center forward. Yao Ming is a bit too pessimistic to consider retirement so early.

"Don't be surprised by An Jie. In the NBA, there are many people who started thinking about retirement as early as me. I know my body best. In short, let's take a step and watch one." Yao Ming was very indifferent when dealing with this issue. , this guy has already made the best preparations for his future. Didn't Yao Ming just buy the Shanghai Shark Club some time ago? In the year of truce due to injury, Yao Ming is also trying to make himself change in the direction of a manager.

"Look at what you said, since the operation on your foot injury is so successful, it must be fine. I want to fight Yao Ge a few more times. We didn't have you in the Western Conference last year, and internal competition is boring." An Jie didn't want to let the atmosphere continue to become dignified, so he changed the topic,

Afterwards, Yao Ming took Anjie around various famous scenic spots in Shanghai. The arrival of the two of them naturally attracted the attention of the crowd. On the Internet, the photo of Anjie and Yao Ming was a blowout. Domestically, the two big men are household names. Even people who don't care about sports and basketball will definitely recognize the faces of An Jie and Yao Ming. Not to mention that the two of them are now in Shanghai, a big city with advanced information.

After a pleasant visit to Shanghai, Yao Ming invited An Jie to have dinner at the revolving restaurant on the 267-meter-high sphere of the Oriental Pearl Tower in the evening. From here, An Jie and Yao Ming could see the night scene of the whole Shanghai. Brightly lit streets, bright Huangpu River, huge tall buildings... Anjie feels that this place is not even worse than Los Angeles. An Jie also traveled around the world last summer, but he didn't expect that there would be many places worth visiting right at his doorstep. For example, here, An Jie never imagined that Shanghai could bring him such a shocking visual impact.

After having dinner with Yao Ming, An Jie went back to the hotel to rest. After that, he will return to his hometown and spend a week with his parents. Then in June, Anjie will go abroad again. Come back next time, maybe it will be the days before the start of the new season.

An Jie returned home as scheduled, and continued to practice and endorse during the day as usual, and lived at home with the two elders at night. At this time, the NBA Finals is about to start, but An Jie has long been immersed in this ordinary and relaxed life and cannot extricate himself. When fans all over the world are paying attention to the feud between the Lakers and the Celtics, only Anjie will choose to turn off the TV and talk to his parents more.

In this peaceful life, the half month in China is fleeting. Next stop, Anjie will go to Europe, to Milan. Yes, Anjie and Catherine are finally going to meet again.

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

As early as five days ago, Catherine had finished her work in Milan. In that little fashion show, Catherine was as stunning as ever. Everyone present, no matter the audience or the reporter, raised their cameras. They knew they would never have another chance to see Catherine in such a small fashion show.

According to the conditions of this model, IMG company will let her appear in this kind of place, just for her to learn experience. Unless the upper management of IMG is blind, they will definitely not let go of such a potential stock. After that, the stage for this model will only get bigger and bigger.

But success at work is not the reason why Catherine is reluctant to leave Milan. The reason why she stayed in Milan for so long is entirely because of An Jie.

Milan, the second largest city in Italy, existed in this world metropolis during the ancient Roman period. This historic city is also one of the most economically developed regions in Europe. However, unlike a modern metropolis like Los Angeles, Milan not only has modern prosperity, but also retains a strong historical and cultural heritage. Such a city is simply perfect for couples.

Angie and Catherine were not in New York this time, nor were they in Ames, nor were they in Oklahoma. They hope to spend a good time together in Milan without being disturbed by others.

Catherine hadn't forgotten how tortured the late plane was when she was waiting for Angie in New York on Christmas Day. But today, in the summer with excellent weather, An Jie arrived in Milan on time for his appointment.

Catherine can make it impossible for people to recognize her under some disguise. But An Jie's height, which is eye-catching even in Europe, can't be hidden no matter what.

Fortunately, this is Milan, football is the theme of the city. If this was somewhere in China or a city like Oklahoma, An Jie wouldn't be able to walk out of the airport calmly today.

After meeting the group photo requirements of the three fans, An Jie easily got into the taxi without any obstacles. No one knew that he was coming to Milan, not even Wu Hua Anjie told him.

Both Anjie and Catherine knew they were pressed for time, so they didn't waste much time, Milan Cathedral, La Scala, Museum of the 20th Century, Milan Royal Palace, San Siro Stadium... The next week, Catherine and Anjie I have visited almost all of Milan.

The two of them were extremely happy during this week, with no disturbance from outsiders, only each other's company.

Under the setting sun on the banks of the Milan Canal, Catherine turned her head and leaned on An Jie's arm. No way, even Catherine is considered tall among girls, but besides a guy like Durant, who else can rely on An Jie's shoulders?

"I really hope to live like this for the rest of my life. You go ahead and follow me." Just as Catherine finished speaking, An Jie hugged her in her arms. On the banks of the Milan River, there were countless couples snuggling up to each other, but at this moment, only Catherine felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Maybe they can't meet every day, maybe most of the time they can only feel each other by phone. But they can rely on each other and encourage each other. They knew each other and hit it off. These things make there never be a gap between two people who are far apart.

"It's so beautiful here. Although it's an international metropolis, it doesn't have the hustle and bustle of China and the United States. If we want to take wedding photos in the future, the first stop must be Milan." An Jie kissed the forehead of the girl in his arms. An Jie thought that basketball was the most beautiful thing in the world, but at this moment, An Jie realized that he was wrong.

Can the feud between the Lakers and the Celtics compare to the good times now? No doubt, absolutely not.

The reporters are still looking for An Jie's movements all over the world, but at this moment, An Jie has spent a perfect week in Milan happily. This week, his world has no basketball, no advertising endorsements, no winning or losing. Everything is enough to have Catherine.

This may be the most wonderful day for An Jie this summer, now, let him enjoy the rare leisure time of the year...
