The Way of the Center

Chapter 712: Go home

"...Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty! Alright, Ann. Take a break, the fifth set of training is complete!" A young man picked up the dumbbell for An Jie.

An Jie was covered in sweat, and the continuous strength training was really exhausting. Even though An Jie can play for more than 40 minutes on the basketball court, he still feels a bit overwhelmed when faced with such a high-intensity training.

"How is it? It feels good!" An Jie's old acquaintance, well-known trainer Ganna Peterson patted An Jie's back with a smile. This guy is much stronger than when the two first met a few years ago.

"It's okay, the whole body is burning! God Peterson, you really have new tricks to torture us every year." An Jie joked with this familiar trainer. Although Peterson's requirements are strict, the training intensity is also high. very big. But the effect is equally obvious.

Last year, Anjie gathered several people to train with him. But this year, An Jie didn't want to be disturbed. the reason is simple. Because apart from training this year, Anjie has another more important thing to do.

"Do you want to practice more tonight?" Seeing that An Jie didn't seem to be exhausted by himself, Peterson asked casually. In the past few summers, An Jie always practiced more consciously. But this year, Anjie will leave the training hall as soon as the time comes, just like clocking out of get off work.

"Tonight? Not tonight. My wife is about to have a baby, so I need to spend more time with her. So, during the day, let's practice more!" An Jie finished speaking and walked onto the treadmill again.

Gana Peterson shook his head. The traits of Anjie, a training freak, really won't disappear so easily.

A day of training ended soaked in sweat. Ganna Peterson was eating watermelon leisurely, but An Jie was too tired to get up.

"Oh, it's five o'clock, damn it!" But looking at his watch, the huge guy forced himself to get up. Even though his whole body was sore, he couldn't restrain An Jie's desire to go home and be with his family.

"Can you still drive? Otherwise, I'll see you off." Seeing that An Jie was limping even when he was walking, Peterson was really worried.

"It's okay, see you at the old time tomorrow, Peterson." An Jie waved his hand, and sat in the rx-7 with an ultra-low chassis. Maybe, I should also change to a bigger car...

After driving for a while, An Jie arrived at his home in the wealthy area of ​​Lake Oswag. At the door of the house, a lady in a suit and leather shoes was ringing the doorbell. Seeing the host come back, the lady smiled at An Jie.

"What a coincidence, Mr. An."

"Hello,

Doctor Wannida. "An Jie nodded to the lady.

"Is the day's training over? I think your physical condition seems to be good, but don't be too tired sometimes."

"Thank you for your reminder." An Jie opened the door of the villa, and the two walked in unhurriedly.

The lady who walked into the yard with An Jie at the moment was the private doctor An Jie hired for Catherine. She will be solely responsible for Catherine's physical health until Catherine gives birth to her baby.

The two walked across the courtyard together to the living room. Inside, Catherine is helping prepare dinner. In fact, with Anjie's parents and a big beard, Catherine doesn't have to do housework at all. It's just that this naughty little girl is always restless.

"I'm back, dear!" An Jie's shout was like a remote control, causing Catherine to quickly run to the door.

"Hey baby, how are you doing today?" Catherine hugged the doctor standing aside without hesitation, and her husband who returned home. The doctor didn't feel embarrassed either. This kind of thing is very common in American families.

"Very good, the training went pretty well."

"Why don't you invite Mr. Peterson to dinner?"

"Maybe next time. I was too hasty to leave today. Hey, Dr. Wan Nida is here too. You can lie down and have an examination first." An Jie turned sideways and let the doctor who had been standing at the door for a long time enter the room . Catherine obediently walked into her bedroom,

After closing the door, the doctor began to examine Catherine inside. An Jie dragged his tired body and sat on the sofa. His life had really changed drastically.

At this time in the past few summers, Anjie was either training crazily or having fun crazily. But now, I return home from nine to five every day, living a normal life.

But what surprised An Jie was that such a day actually gave him a strong sense of happiness. Perhaps, I have been away from this ordinary life for too long.

After a while, Catherine and the doctor walked out of the room. The doctor reported Catherine's physical condition to Anjie's family, and in conclusion, everything was normal.

After seeing off the doctor, the family sat around and had dinner. An Jie's mother stewed a lot of nourishing food for Catherine. Of course, the bearded man did not forget to make some American-style nutritious meals for An Jie.

The family talked and laughed happily. Life at the age of 25 is really different...

In this flat rhythm, 30 days passed and July 28 came. For others, July 28 is just an ordinary day. But for Anjie, today is the first anniversary of his and Catherine's marriage.

At this moment, Anjie and his wife have come to England to start their romantic trip on their anniversary.

Because Catherine had a big belly, An Jie didn't take her to places like the seaside. The UK is undoubtedly the best choice for a place where you can feel a strong foreign culture without subjecting Catherine to too much stimulation.

As we all know, in the UK, football is people's life. Basketball in this place is just a niche sport. Therefore, even if An Jie walked swaggeringly on the street, few people would come to harass him.

First, the quality of the citizens here is high, and pedestrians will not easily disturb others. Secondly, the influence of basketball in the UK is indeed limited. But precisely because of this, An Jie's trip was even more perfect.

On July 28th, Anjie took Catherine to the London Eye, looked at the Thames River, and enjoyed the beautiful night view of London.

The two took a sweet photo together in the London Eye, and the first year after their marriage has passed so peacefully.

When Catherine uploaded this selfie to Facebook, the whole social media exploded in an instant. Countless people have sent blessings to An Jie and Catherine, and the two of them have also become one of the model couples in the circle of public figures.

After playing in England for a week, Anjie returned to Portland with Catherine. Catherine continued to expect labor, and Anjie continued her second phase of training.

At this time, in China, the brand new Chinese national team has assembled and is ready for training. Although An Jie will delay the time to meet with the team, it does not mean that he can be lazy.

Although he worked hard in different places, An Jie's seriousness was no worse than that of his teammates in the national team.

On August 19th, eleven days before the opening of the Spanish Men's Basketball World Cup, An Jie had just boarded the plane back to China, ready to officially start his journey to the international arena.

Before leaving, An Jie and Catherine were reluctant to part. Although they have been tired of being together for several months, the couple are still reluctant to part with each other. The solid relationship between the two is really the envy of many people.

Armed with "martial arts", An Jie set out for his homeland again. During the ten days of training, I hope that An Jie and this new national team can integrate smoothly...

"Keep up! You look like this! How do you perform in the international arena!? Don't talk about going to the world to show off. When An Jie comes, you will have to watch your jokes!" Ningbo Beilun Chinese men's basketball team Inside the training base, a gray-haired middle-aged man clapped his hands and shouted loudly.

On the basketball court, more than a dozen young lads are running hard. They are the players who will represent China in the World Cup this year. Compared with last year's Asian Cup, most of them are new faces.

There is no way to replace Chinese basketball with new generations. With Wang Zhizhi's withdrawal from the national team, the reason why Zhu Fangyu and others are too old. This year, most of the players entering the national team are fresh blood. A large number of young players have entered the national team, making this team look very different from before.

Therefore, the term "a brand new national team" is not a metaphor, but a fact.

"Director Gong, An Jie is here." Just as everyone was training in full swing, a team coach wearing glasses walked up to the middle-aged man who had just shouted.

"Well, tell him to come in first and say hello to everyone before going to change clothes." The middle-aged man was inexplicably nervous. He himself is one of the representatives of Chinese basketball. But in history, no Chinese basketball player has reached the height of An Jie. This is also the first time he will be nervous about the arrival of a player. Because the one who is about to appear in front of him is the greatest basketball player in all of China!

"Is this right here?" With the resounding voice, a strong and tall black figure walked slowly. The players training on the field stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Oh my god!" The middle-aged man's heart beat faster, this guy can bring a huge sense of oppression just by being close to you!

An Jie walked into the training ground and appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~"

"My God, I finally saw the real person!"

"So fucking strong! Stronger than he looks on TV!"

On the field, the group of young players immediately started a murmur discussion. After all, most of this group of people saw a "live" An Jie for the first time.

The middle-aged man looked up and down at the smiling young man in front of him. He was very sunny and energetic, without any pretensions. So, he reached out his hand first. "Hello, An Jie. I am Gong Luming, the current coach of the Chinese national team. Welcome home!"

Gong Luming used the word "go home", which touched An Jie a lot. Players who have played outside all the year round are most afraid of being excluded after returning to the national team, but Gong Luming successfully resolved An Jie's distress with just one word.

"Hey, hello Director Gong, hello everyone. Let's have a big fight on the stage of the World Cup!" An Jie waved his fist while shaking hands with Gong Luming.

Going big on the World Cup stage? Before An Jie came, no one dared to say such a thing. A superstar, really different!
