The Way of the Center

Zhou Qi was completely emptied in the mid-range position, and there was no defensive player within one and a half meters around him. Is this big man with slender limbs not eye-catching enough? Of course not, just because An Jie was alone attracted three people from the Angola team to defend.

With a crushing advantage, from the very beginning of the game, An Jie succeeded in consecutive strong attacks at the basket with a crushing advantage. This simple and rude way of solving problems has made all the defensive arrangements of the Angola team a waste of paper.

So now, the Angola team can't wait for all five people to surround An Jie. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Qi will get a chance to open a big seat.

Zhou Qi didn't raise his hand to ask for the ball, he didn't dare to ask An Jie for the ball. But this does not mean that An Jie can't see Zhou Qi. Angola's center Moreira is "only" 2.11 meters tall, and his waving arms can't cover An Jie's sight at all.

An Jie passed the ball through the crowd, Zhou Qi received the basketball and shot it with his hands. Although Zhou Qi still has many problems on the basketball court, he can still do a simple open mid-range shot.

"Swipe." With the knife in hand, An Jie assisted the Chinese team to score two more points. As soon as the game opened, they played a 12-0 offensive**.

"It's hard to believe that the Angola team, the African overlord, was defeated by the Chinese team. Angolan's strength is too strong. The double mvp from the NBA is not at the same level as other people." Even the local Spanish commentator I can't stand it anymore. From the very beginning, there seems to be no suspense in this game.

The game entered the first timeout, and Gong Luming applauded repeatedly. What about Anjie? He didn't get carried away with the team's big lead, but reminded his teammates of the problems.

After returning from timeout, Gong Luming replaced An Jie with Yi Jianlian. Training young people is the main purpose of the Chinese team in this World Cup.

After Anjie left the field, the Angola team finally started to play better. However, Yi Jianlian's excellent performance never allowed the African overlord to complete the overtake.

However, this Chinese team is still too young. Small defenders such as Guo Ailun and Xirelijiang have no way to organize the offense well under the strict defense of the Angola team. Sometimes, the defenders of the Chinese team couldn't even dribble across the half alone.

Seeing that the score was being overtaken by a little bit, Gong Luming waved his big hand, and took An Jie, the big killer, up.

Well, this time, the Angola team has to be pressed to the ground again.

An Jie personally mastered the offense at the mid-range position. Under his control, the young people of the Chinese team finally had an offensive idea.

at this time,

Angola coach Emmanuel is almost desperate. It's difficult enough for An Jie to show his power alone. But now, Anjie has connected the entire Chinese team together.

Sure enough, in the following games, the Angola team did not have any chance to comeback. The Chinese team used their fierce offensive firepower to overwhelm the king of Africa. In the end, the Chinese team also successfully defeated Angola with a score of 80 to 69 and won the World Cup.

After the game, the young players who participated in the international competition for the first time were very excited. Although it was only a group stage victory, it was an unusual step for the boxing boy.

Seeing this group of young people cheering happily on the field, An Jie and Yi Jianlian also smiled in relief. At the press conference after the game, An Jie naturally became the target of all reporters rushing to interview.

"It feels great to be able to bring vitality to this team. We will definitely continue to work hard and strive for good results." Anjie's official answer made the reporter and the Basketball Association very satisfied. Originally, when Gong Luming announced the list of the national team, there was an uproar in the country. Everyone felt that this too young team could not win at all.

But looking at it now, as long as there is An Jie, the Chinese team will not be reduced to cannon fodder in the international arena.

Due to the very short schedule of the Men's Basketball World Cup, the competition is also very intensive. On the second day after the match with Angola, the Chinese team ushered in their second opponent, the overlord of Oceania and the terrifying "Kangaroo Army" Australia.

Although Bogut, Mills and other famous Australian players are absent due to injuries, the strength of this Australian team is still not to be underestimated. Especially on the back line, the Australian team's two young players born in the 90s, Matthew Dellavedova and Dante Exum, are bound to have an impact on the Chinese team's perimeter defense.

After the game started, the fact is indeed the case. The defense line composed of Guo Ailun and others cannot contain the performance of Dellavedova and Exum at all. You know, these two guards are capable of competing in the NBA.

And from the perspective of the team's tactical training, Australia is also more dominant. Their cooperation on the field is more skilled, and their tactics are completed higher than the Chinese team.

It's a pity that Australia, which lacks Bogut and others, does not have a final figure. The match between the two sides was very intense. At the last moment, the Chinese team had An Jie to stand up, while the Australian side did not allow An Jie to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

In the last 30 seconds, the two sides tied at 83. Dellavedova forcibly broke through Guo Ailun's defense and went straight to the inside. He suddenly threw a shot from the mid-range position, but An Jie jumped high and directly confiscated the ball!

"Catch it! My God, Ann's dominance in the penalty area is unmatched!" The troupe also shouted frantically, even their big and small Pau Gasol brothers couldn't make such a defense.

After catching the basketball, An Jie didn't pass the ball, but advanced with the ball himself! Australian center Nate Jawai hurried forward to block. This "black meat tower" can make you feel great oppression just by standing in front of you.

However, An Jie was not afraid, he directly pushed forward with his shoulder against the strong Jawai! The Australian defenders wanted to cut off the ball in Anjie's hands, but found that Anjie's ability to control the ball was surprisingly good!

An Jie pushed all the way to the penalty area, and finally ended it all with a tomahawk split. With 12 seconds left in the game, Australia trailed by two points. An Jie looked up to the sky and shouted loudly, and the stadium was full of applause from Chinese fans.

The demoralized Australia did not seize the opportunity. Exum's buzzer shot knocked out at the last moment, and Anjie used a quasi-lore to kill the mighty kangaroos.

All Chinese fans and reporters stood up and cheered. Australia has always been an insurmountable gap in front of the Chinese team. But now, An Jie, a brand new leader, has led the team to break through themselves.

"He is too strong. Perhaps only the American team and the Spanish team can withstand An's attack." This is what Dellavedova told reporters in an interview. Anjie's strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even his opponents must admit it.

After the victory over Australia, the confident Chinese team made a big splash in the group stage, winning repeatedly. In the end, under the leadership of An Jie, the group actually emerged with a record of complete victory!

There was an uproar in the country. Originally, this too young Chinese team was not favored by others, but now, they surprised people with such excellent results.

Among them, Yi Jianlian, Gong Luming and others must have contributed a lot. But if we want to talk about the direct cause of all this, it is still because of An Jie!

With an average of 32.5 points, 16.1 rebounds, 3 blocks and 6.2 assists per game, Anjie's exaggerated data is enough to explain everything. You know, the rule of Fiba is that a game only lasts 40 minutes. If they play 48 minutes like the NBA, Anjie's data will be even more exaggerated.

In this way, the Chinese team successfully reached the top 16. People are looking forward to what the undefeated Chinese team can do in the knockout stage.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, everyone was still surprised when An Jie beat Turkey in the first match of the knockout round to allow the Chinese team to advance.

"Oh my god! A turnaround jump shot over both Asik and Arlans! Anjie, this guy is unstoppable!"

Accompanied by the narrator's yelling, the players of the Chinese team rushed forward and surrounded An Jie tightly. An Jie's expression has not returned to calm, he is still murderous! What the Chinese team needs is this kind of ruthlessness!

"This is a historic moment! After a lapse of 20 years, An Jie once again led the Chinese team to the quarter-finals! Twenty years of waiting finally paid off today! An Jie, he is the hero of Chinese basketball! He deserves it Your hero!" Yu Jia's voice was already very hoarse, but he still didn't stop shouting.

On the basketball court, the group of young people in the Chinese team frantically supported their leader. Who would have thought that they would be able to make history when they participated in an international competition for the first time?

Although a day later, the Chinese team lost to Lithuania, the second in Europe, in the quarter-finals. But losing at this time, no one will have regrets.

The Lithuanian team has nothing to do with Anjie, but they have far more people who can play than the Chinese team. The strength gap between the two teams is still quite huge. Although An Jie scored 28 points, 15 points, rebounds, 5 blocks and 6 assists in the limited time, only An Jie scored in the Chinese team. double digits.

Although leaving the World Cup, this Chinese team is still sought after by everyone. An Jie led the team to play alone for the first time and broke the 20-year record. God knows where this group of guys will lead the national team as they become more and more skilled.

"It's been a hard time!" Because Catherine's due date was approaching, An Jie hurriedly left Spain the day after the competition. Before leaving, Gong Luming shook hands with An Jie on behalf of the whole team.

"Where to say, playing games is the responsibility of basketball players and my job. I am very happy to work with everyone." An Jie is not saying nice words, this young team is full of vitality and takes himself as the core. , really made Anjie like it very much.

"Then I wish you a happy baby, An Jie! Go back and have a good rest, we'll wait for your good news!"

"Then I'm leaving, everyone. In the coming year, keep working hard!" An Jie waved to everyone, then turned and walked into the boarding gate, officially leaving the national team.

This summer's World Cup is a perfect ending. The results of the Chinese team were good, and Anjie himself was very happy. Of course, his status in the Chinese basketball world has also risen all the way.

But the World Cup results are not the main reason why An Jie is so happy, because another good thing is waiting for him...

In a few days, this guy who just turned 25 will be a father. This feeling is even more exciting than winning the O'Brien Cup...
