The Way of the Center

"Dad, Mom, don't come here. Why don't I buy tickets for you now, you go to London for a few days, and then watch the Chinese team's game after the opening of the Olympic Games. Deng Huade is doing closed training now , family members are not allowed to enter. Yes, you will not be able to see me when you come. If I do something special by myself, then this team will not be blown up." An Jie is patiently giving his parents a message in the dormitory of the training base. Explain why the two elders can't come to visit their son even though they are in China.

At this time, the national team has completed a day of training. All players are now free to move around and rest freely in the training base. An Jie and Wang Zhizhi were assigned to the same room. When An Jie was talking on the phone, Wang Zhizhi was showering in the toilet.

The intention of Deng Huade's arrangement is also obvious. He hopes that Wang Zhizhi, one of the benchmarks in the Chinese basketball world, can lead An Jie in and make him the real pillar of Chinese basketball. Due to the fact that An Jie is working abroad alone, An Jie is somewhat alienated from the national team. But with the influence of Wang Zhizhi, Deng Huade believes that An Jie should be able to better regard the national team as his own team.

"A phone call from home again?" Wang Zhizhi walked out of the toilet while wiping his hair with a dry towel.

"Yes, my parents insist on coming to see me. How can I see it here?"

"Parents are like this, and you will understand their painstaking efforts in the future." Wang Zhizhi smiled at An Jie. If Da Zhi hadn't said that, An Jie would have almost forgotten this former "boy chasing the wind", the former Chinese nba The first person is already the father of a nine-year-old child.

"Dazhi is... the last Olympic Games." An Jie still remembers that he was excited for a long time because of the news that Wang Zhizhi joined the NBA. Now, the face of that ignorant boy has become so old before his eyes.

"That's right, I won't be able to play in a few years. The next Olympic Games is definitely hopeless. Well, seeing young people like you rise up, I can retire with peace of mind, haha." Wang Zhizhi said calmly Faced with this problem, he still did not forget to put on his friendly smile. "By the way, what's going on with the Blazers?" Wang Zhizhi changed the subject, expressing his concern for An Jie.

"It's not bad, the team signed J.J. Hickson to strengthen the interior, and when I'm not on the court, the team finally doesn't have to rely on Camby guy for support.

I heard that Orsi is going to make a few deals recently to clear up the team's salary space, and then sign some good players. In short, the team is developing in a better direction. "An Jie smiled at Wang Zhizhi as he spoke, but found that there was something wrong with Wang Zhizhi's expression.

"Free agency, cap space, trades... Hey, I really miss that time." Dazhi looked at the ceiling and sighed, remembering that his enthusiasm for the NBA back then was almost on par with Anjie.

"Seize the opportunity to play in the NBA, Anjie. Don't leave regrets for yourself like me. You have to know that as a basketball player, the NBA is the biggest stage you can stand on. Grab it and make a name for yourself Come!" Wang Zhizhi patted An Jie on the shoulder earnestly. As the big brother in the Chinese basketball circle, Wang Zhizhi not only wanted An Jie to play well in the Olympics, but also supported An Jie's entire career, which he thought he should do. .

"I will work hard. First of all, let's make this Olympic Games a success!" An Jie stretched out his fist. Wang Zhizhi was stunned for a second, and then reached out to touch An Jie's fist.

Wang Zhizhi asked An Jie not to leave regrets in his career, and similarly, he did not want to leave regrets in his last Olympic Games.

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

There is still a long-standing problem in the lineup of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, that is, the strength of the back line is really not flattering. Guo Ailun and Chen Jianghua, the two young guards, will undoubtedly be the main guards of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, but their performance in international competitions is yet to be discussed.

Therefore, in the past few days of training, the tactics of the national team have been very simple. The defenders only need to take the ball across the half court and give it to An Jie or Yi Jianlian, and then, all they have to do is support runs. Deng Huade didn't dare to let the back line bear too much scoring responsibility. As a result, the responsibilities of An Jie, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and others also became greater.

Although An Jie is still training very hard, he is also worried about his state. It's not that he himself has any bad feelings, but that in this national team, Deng Huade simply can't find a guy who is enough to be An Jie's opponent.

A few years ago, Yi Jianlian could barely practice with An Jie. But now, even Yi Jianlian couldn't compete with An Jie head-on. Without a decent opponent to fight against him, An Jie doesn't know whether he is playing well or not, and whether he can execute these tactics perfectly.

But there is no way, the Chinese team is no match for the Dream Team. The training team of the dream team can also be said to be star-studded. The Chinese team does not have such conditions. All Anjie can do is to be strict with himself every day. Not only to prepare for the next Olympic Games, but also to prepare for the O'Brien Cup impact next season.

During the period of Anjie's hard training, Nell Orsi was not idle. The lineup of the Trail Blazers changed very quickly, but apart from the joining of Lillard and Hickson, several other signings and transactions had little effect on the strength of the Trail Blazers.

Most people think that the expansion of the Trail Blazers will be over, but in fact Nell. Orsi has not forgotten his commitment to Ainger. This guy has been eyeing a player for a long time.

After another day of training, An Jieben planned to go to the restaurant for dinner with Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and others. But just as An Jie left the training ground and went to the restaurant, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Seeing that the caller ID was Nell Orsey, An Jie signaled Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian to go first, and he would come right after answering the call.

"Is there any good news?" An Jie didn't beat around the bush. Recently, Orsi and him talked on the phone, all about team lineup building.

"There is good news, but I have to get it out of the way first. Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton, I know these two guys have contributed a lot to the team, and you get along well with them." Very enjoyable...”

"But?" An Jie actually guessed what Orsi would say next.

"But if I'm going to get this deal done, I'm going to have to send them both away. Look, this is a big deal involving five teams. We're not the protagonists of this big deal, but we definitely It will be a beneficiary!" Orsi knew that Anjie and the players in the team got along well, but at the same time, if you want new players to join, old players must leave.

"What deal?" An Jie didn't answer, but asked first.

"The Lakers are going to make a big move. They plan to form a super team composed of Nash, Howard, Kobe and Gasol! But if the two sides trade alone, the Lakers can't get Howard. We haven't had any in recent days. The big move is because I'm busy with it. The Lakers are going to send Bynum the kid and a few extra heads, and the Magic are sending..."

"No, no, Mr. Orsi, just tell me, where Wallace and Felton will go, and who will we get from this five-team deal?" A series of business operation plans, not to mention a complicated five-party transaction. An Jie just wanted to know the main point. Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian should have already prepared meals for him by now. Out of respect, An Jie didn't want these two national team bosses to wait too long for him.

"Then I'll just get to the bottom line. The Lakers are going to get Dwight Howard, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton in this trade, and we're going to Get Andre Iguodala from the 76ers! The 76ers are going to completely rebuild, and Iguodala is no longer needed by them! Ann, if Iguodala joins the team, it will definitely be good for us No harm!" Orsi wasn't kidding, it was a big deal. This is indeed the kind of big deal that can change the league structure!

"My God!" At the beginning, Anjie was amazed at Howard's joining the Lakers. Kobe and Howard teamed up, and An Jie couldn't imagine how brutal this scene was. But when he regained his sanity from the shock and thought about what the name Iguodala represented, An Jie let himself into the shock again.

"Ann, Ann!?" Seeing that Anjie didn't respond for a long time, Orsi thought that there was something wrong with the damn international call.

"Mr. Orsi..." An Jie's voice trembled. "If Wallace and Felton don't conflict, please complete this deal!" An Jie replied firmly.

Indeed, both Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton had a good relationship with An Jie, but in the process of pursuing victory, An Jie knew that his comrades-in-arms would definitely change. An Jie was used to this kind of thing when he was still in the Thunder team. Only this time, he has part of the decision-making power on whether the transaction can be completed.

Even if Wallace and Felton left the Trail Blazers, it would not affect them and Anjie to continue to be friends. But if Iguodala fails to join the Trail Blazers, it will have a great impact on Anjie's championship plan!

"Okay, I see what you mean. I've actually consulted both of them and Coach Ricard, and you're the last one who knows and is decisive. Well, tonight I'm going to fly to Los Angeles and talk to the other four teams. If I can really get Iguodala, Ann, you really have to come up with something next season. First things first. When I get here, I have to prepare my luggage. By the way, the Olympics will be played well, this is a good opportunity for you to maintain your form."

"Mr. Orsi, you don't have to worry about me. You just need to help me prepare the weapon and wait for me to come back strong!"

After hanging up the phone, An Jie walked towards the restaurant in a good mood. Seeing An Jie's smile, Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian probably guessed the content of the phone call just now.

The recognition of the teammates of the national team and the continuous improvement of the lineup of the Trail Blazers. Everything is moving in a better direction.

Now there are only a few days before the opening of the Olympic Games, let this big stage that the whole world pays attention to be the prelude to Anjie's next season's NBA performance!
