The Way of the Center

Eighteen consecutive victories, creating team history, Drexler himself even used Twitter to congratulate Anjie that night, and even tweeted that Anjie was destined to surpass himself and do everything he failed to do . Obviously, Drakes was talking about the championship trophy.

The good things in recent days have made Anjie almost forget his controversial foul on Paul when he played against the Clippers. The night after that game, Divac warned Anjie that he would definitely be involved in a spat the next day. However, the overwhelming praise for An Jie the next day made Divac and An Jie no longer care about that matter.

However, one day after beating the Jazz. Just when An Jie was about to forget all those unpleasant things, a large number of negative comments about An Jie appeared on a large scale without warning.

"Hooligans on the Civilized Battlefield—A detailed list of Anjie's ten evil deeds."

"Angie's winning formula: unsavory trash talk."

"Have you ever beaten a fashion reporter? It's true!"

"Blake Griffin: Even if Anjie wins, he will not be given respect."

"DeMarcus Cousins: Anjie is a sinister villain, without those dirty actions and words, he is nothing."

Just like all the media praised An Jie a few days ago, when An Jie watched the news today, most of the media spoke badly to An Jie.

Moslav was the first to call An Jie after the incident, because of the appearance of these articles, many business activities that originally intended to cooperate with An Jie were directly stopped. There is no doubt that these damn criticisms have greatly affected An Jie's public image.

"What the hell is going on!? Why do so many media outlets stand up and criticize you overnight." It's not that An Jie has never been criticized before, but usually, only a few media will do this. And these critical voices will soon be drowned out by a larger wave of praise.

But this time is different,

This time, not one or two media criticized Anjie, but a large-scale and large-scale simultaneous criticism. Moslav asked puzzled if Anjie had offended any powerful people in recent days.

An Jie naturally denied this statement at the beginning. Although he has a tough style on the court, he does use flops and small moves to achieve his goal. But if you want to offend some powerful people, that's not enough. But after thinking about it for a while, a name suddenly appeared in An Jie's mind.

"Sam Smith, this matter must have something to do with Sam Smith! He is very smart, and he knew that his criticisms in the past few days would definitely be drowned out. That's why he decided to fight back against me today!" An Jie suddenly The person who remembered was that arrogant well-known reporter, basketball commentator, and that old man who spoke ill of him. A guy like him will definitely not let An Jie's disrespect go away.

Hearing this name, Moslav frowned slightly. If it was Sam Smith, then everything that happened today would make sense. After all, this guy is definitely a master at manipulating media opinions. And Sam Smith is narrow-minded, which is also a well-known thing. Even now, all these years later, Sam will take out the Legion of Bad Kids from time to time.

Moslav knew that this time, he and An Jie had really met a guy who was not easy to mess with.

After all, Sam Smith can manipulate most of the media to spout An Jie's constant chatter. Although the content of his reports may not be true, few reporters have never reported based on real events. There are as many unscrupulous journalists as fleas, and they can't get rid of public figures no matter how much they go around. But the masses sometimes don't care whether the reports are true or not. As long as the reporter writes like it's true, it's true.

"This is tricky for An. If you want me to say, we'd better not provoke him. Conflicting with this guy will only waste our money and time." Moslav decided to let An Jie Jay should not fight back against Sam Smith any more. Even if it is veiled irony, it is best not to.

An Jie has no objection to this, and he rarely responds to criticism from the media, because he doesn't bother to do so. He believes that as long as his grades are good enough, the media will naturally help him rectify his name. Before Olajuwon believed in Islam, he was also a powder keg that could explode at any time. Even Sam Smith's Jordan was a tyrant. Which guy on the Bulls hasn't been scolded by Jordan? Pippen is no exception. But these two guys are the darlings of the media. At least An Jie has never lost his temper with his teammates.

Anjie has always believed in what Divac told himself, as long as there are results, people don't care whether you are a gentleman or a butcher on the court. He only hoped that with his performance, Sam Smith and his accomplices would shut up.

So An Jie chose to turn a deaf ear to the overwhelming curses and criticisms. The Blazers will play away against the Kings tonight, and Angie doesn't want to lose to the Kings or to Cousins. If he lost, Sam Smith didn't know how proud he would be.

To shut up Sam Smith, Anjie decided to start by defeating the king.

Sleepy Train fans are now as disliked by Cousins ​​as they are. Now with the instigation of Sam Smith, the fans of the Kings gave a "warm" welcome to Anjie's arrival today.

Unpleasant insults, harsh boos, signs and slogans insulting An Jie, formed an alternative "landscape". The fans of the Sleeping Train Arena couldn't swallow An Jie alive here.

"Ann! Don't be affected by the evaluation of these ignorant guys! Play our own game well and let this group of damned guys be pissed off!" Before the game, Ricard was very worried about An Jie's psychology. state. He decided to encourage An Jie in his own way and let An Jie relax.

"Don't worry boss, I can't see or hear things that have nothing to do with the game." An Jie's calm answer reassured everyone in the Trail Blazers. It will be messy. This is a leader who inspires the team.

So with huge boos and curses, the high-profile war between the Blazers and the Kings, Anjie and Cousins ​​finally started again.

Now, everyone in Sacramento wants the yellow-skinned guy who just set a team record to make a fool of himself at Sleepy Train Arena. They hope that this dirty villain will get the punishment he deserves. The reason why the fans have this series of psychology is because of Sam Smith's vigorous operation.

The match was unexpectedly fierce. The king, who was originally weak, showed his level of strength under this special background.

Cousins ​​attacked the basket guarded by Anjie time and time again, and Anjie, who played back-to-back games, was indeed made very passive by Cousins' aggressive offense. On the offensive end, the Kings' resolute double-team defense also made An Jie very hard.

Rickard and Divac frowned all game, although Ainger has been brilliant so far. But if this continues, An Jie will definitely be exhausted like James!

Rickard and Divac had to find a way to get Anjie out of the predicament. Seeing that Cousins ​​broke into Anjie's defense again, these two treacherous guys seemed to have thought of something.

"Boy! Take advantage of Cousins' impulsive emotions and make him foul!" Divac yelled at Anjie, putting his hand on his mouth like a trumpet. The biggest weakness of Cousins ​​is his temper. Now, Divac decided to let Anjie grasp this weakness!

So when Cousins ​​rushed towards Anjie with the ball again, this immature guy squeezed towards the basket with all his strength. But An Jie didn't make a strong block, but fell back, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately!

"This is an obvious flop, why can't you see it?" Cousins ​​really went berserk, and he yelled at the referee loudly. If it weren't for his teammates to dissuade him in time, Cousins ​​​​would have to apply for a technical foul again.

At the same time, boos suddenly broke out in the Sleeping Train Arena. They were all expressing dissatisfaction with An Jie's "cowardly" behavior just now. This group of guys did not expect that An Jie, who was on the cusp of the storm, would dare to use flops! This Chinese is simply shameless!

After being fouled by Anjie, Cousins' emotions were completely out of control. In the following half of the game, he quickly applied for the "benefit" of leaving the field with full fouls and taking an early rest. Kings coach Skye Smart cursed furiously on the sidelines. People thought he was angry at Angie's flopping, but in fact he was angry at Cousins' immature impulsive behavior.

After getting rid of Cousins, Anjie led his teammates to completely defeat the Kings in the last five minutes of the game. After the game, the boos at Sleepy Train Arena reached a crescendo.

It was the first time that Sam Smith smiled at the TV. His goal was achieved. Now even if Anjie wins, people will not focus on his beautiful statistics and records, but will focus on It's all about his flops and tricks. All these results came from his hand, Sam Smith.

With 28 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, Anjie once again beat Cousins ​​and led the Trail Blazers to another step in the team history record. But in the post-match interviews, the most frequently asked question by reporters was "Did you flop?"

Faced with such questions, An Jie chose to answer lightly. "That's indeed a foul." But only a small number of reporters would be satisfied with An Jie's answer.

If An Jie lived in praise and glory a few days ago, the situation is completely reversed today. But being able to take the victory away from Sacramento, Anjie is not in a bad mood. After tomorrow, the direction of public opinion should once again focus on the Blazers' 19-game winning streak, right?

An Jie continued to choose silence, waiting for the arrival of the good news the next day.

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

The Trail Blazers rushed back to Portland overnight after defeating the Kings. It stands to reason that the players should be very tired. But An Jie woke up early today.

For the first time, he admits, he can't wait to see today's basketball headlines. In the hazy morning, An Jie picked up his phone and opened the browser.

"This damn old man!" A minute later, An Jie violently smashed his phone to the ground. This move startled Catherine who was sleeping next to An Jie.

"I'm sorry Catherine...I..." An Jie suddenly realized that he had never lost his composure in front of Catherine. He hastened to apologize to Catherine, and hoped he hadn't frightened the little girl.

"What's the matter?" Catherine picked up the phone that An Jie dropped on the ground, and through the cracked screen, Catherine saw an article pointing directly at An Jie.

The author of the article is well-known nba reporter Sam Smith, and the content of the article is not a compliment to An Jie.

The unsightly words and words in the article made Catherine feel that An Jie had suppressed herself very well just now. If someone had said that about her, her reaction might have been even greater.

An Jie doesn't care whether Sam Smith is a well-known reporter or not. He just wants to stand in front of Sam and let this guy slowly count how many bones he has broken in the ambulance!
