The Way of the Center

"Anjie let go of his rhetoric: Before the All-Star Game, he tied the record of 53 consecutive double-double games."

"Los Angeles media: Lakers won't be a stepping stone for Ahn."

"Angie manager Moslav: He has proven himself to be the best player in the world."

The All-Star Game is approaching. On weekdays, there will definitely be various news about the All-Star Weekend in the past few days. However, this year, the limelight of the All-Star Game is not even as great as that of An Jie alone.

The whole world is discussing Anjie's double-double record. Even the star-studded New York All-Star Weekend can only be ranked behind Anjie.

On February 11, the Portland Trail Blazers played against the Los Angeles Lakers. This game with a huge disparity in strength has attracted the attention of fans all over the world.

If An Jie can score another double-double in that game, then he will be as famous as Kevin Love and become the player with the most consecutive double-doubles in the season in NBA history.

Of course, An Jie's attention is much greater than that of Love back then. Although Love set a double-double record back then, the Timberwolves couldn't even make the playoffs.

But Anjie is different. While ensuring his statistics are good, Anjie can also make his team the best team in the league. 46 wins and 5 losses, such a record is unmatched by the Timberwolves back then.

"Catherine, I'm going to Los Angeles tomorrow. Are you going to the All-Star Weekend?" An Jie was talking to his wife while watching the ESPN channel on the sofa.

On TV, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy were discussing Ainger's record. There is no doubt that as long as there are programs related to An Jie, there is no need to worry about the ratings.

"I also want to go to Los Angeles with you tomorrow." Catherine settled her sleeping son and sat next to An Jie.

"But......"

"It's okay, it's okay to let An Xiang and parents stay at home for a day." Catherine stuck out her tongue at An Jie mischievously. After taking care of the children at home for so long, Catherine herself hasn't gone out to relax for a long time.

An Jie smiled lightly, this little girl is obviously still a child...

"Then let's go, the starry Los Angeles, how can we lose you, a super model?"

"Hey, don't worry, Ann, with me on the scene, you can definitely tie the record!"

"I never said I was worried about it.

"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look how beautiful you are"...

On the plane to Los Angeles, even the Trail Blazers players were discussing Anjie's double-double record. After all, watching the birth of a legend with one's own eyes, and participating in it with one's own hands, that feeling is very wonderful.

Some players in this plane may add up double-doubles over several seasons, and none of them have as many double-doubles as Anjie has in a row. For such a great achievement, everyone wanted to help An Jie.

"Don't worry, Ann, the media in Los Angeles is just stubborn. The whole world knows that the Lakers are no longer good, and they still treat that lonely dynasty as a treasure. With the incomplete lineup of the Lakers now, they don't take you at all. Way. For the double-double in Game 53, I have already thought about the celebration at the end of the game." Lillard walked to Anjie and said happily.

"Then I have to work very hard, otherwise I might not be able to see your well-prepared celebration." An Jie patted Lillard on the shoulder and joked with the little guard.

"Ann! If you break the record, during the All-Star Game, why don't you invite me to play again!" Iguodala, who was sitting in the front row of Anjie, began to boo. resonance.

"During the All-Star Game, I can only tie this record Andre, if you want to play, let's play slowly after I surpass Love!" An Jie is still very confident, he does not think that 53 consecutive double-double games will be your end.

"Is this group of boys too relaxed?" Looking at the players talking and laughing on the plane, Divac couldn't help but feel a little worried. It is not uncommon for the Trail Blazers to capsize because of underestimating the enemy.

"It's true that it's a bit too relaxed, but the current Los Angeles Lakers really can't make us nervous..." Rickard flipped through the magazine under the dim light of the cabinet.

Divac took a deep breath, maybe it wasn't that other people were too relaxed, but that he was too tense...

The next day, after arriving in Los Angeles, the Trail Blazers all walked into the Staples Center practice field during media opening hours.

Since it was the opening time of the media and now he was in someone else's territory, Rickard had no right to drive away the reporter.

A bunch of eager Los Angeles media surrounded the training ground, and their hostile eyes were eager to tear An Jie to pieces.

Of course, An Jie ignored those reporters. He was training on the court by himself. Although the players of the Trail Blazers were very relaxed on the plane, as soon as they stepped onto the basketball court, everyone became serious in an instant.

This afternoon, Anjie will play here and make history here. But he didn't feel that excited, instead he felt very calm.

Well, no matter what other people give to the game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, it is a very ordinary regular season for him, rebounding and scoring, scoring a lot of rebounds and scoring, and it is just him as a player. A striker's job. As for records and history, those are incidentals.

Although An Jie said wildly that he wanted to break Love's record, he never deliberately checked the data. Everything he did was because An Jie wanted to win a game. There are countless players in the NBA who only think about statistics and don't care about winning or losing. This group of people is often difficult to be called strong.

To create history while solidly winning, this is what An Jie thinks is meaningful. And now, he is going further and further on this meaningful path!

Therefore, An Jie didn't want to pay attention to these Los Angeles media at all. No matter what the reporters shouted, An Jie just quietly trained on the field.

Ricard is also making trouble for the reporters everywhere, hoping that they can leave earlier.

The time soon came to the night, and the closer the game time was, the more the atmosphere at the Staples Center became hotter.

Many people hope to see An Jie become a legend today, and many people hope that this arrogant foreigner can learn a lesson. No matter what people's reasons for watching this game, it is an indisputable fact that Anjie has attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world.

The players of the Los Angeles Lakers, who ranked second to last in the Western Conference, were under tremendous pressure. Kobe was sitting on the Lakers bench in suits and leather shoes at the moment. Without Kobe on the sidelines, maybe everyone on the Lakers would have been stage frighted.

"Boy, boy, let me see what you've become now." Watching An Jie and Thackeray walk into the middle circle, Kobe couldn't help but become serious. I have been away from basketball for more than a year, but this league has changed hands. He doesn't expect the Lakers to win, because that's almost impossible.

Kobe just wanted to see how the current Anjie played.

With the referee's whistle, Staples' center of gravity instantly became restless. The basketball was undoubtedly won by An Jie, and the 2.13-meter-tall Lakers center Thackeray didn't even have a chance to touch the basketball.

Speaking of the Los Angeles Lakers, they are also living a miserable life now. Not only Kobe, but most of the team's main players were unable to miss due to injuries. Otherwise, do you think Brian Scott really wants to start with Thackeray? He is also forced to.

The Lakers, like the 76ers, can't even cobble together an NBA-caliber starter. In addition to Jordan Clarkson's strength, the other four players in the Lakers' starting lineup are in other teams, and they may not even be able to play as substitutes.

As soon as the game started, An Jie used his unstoppable destructive power to overwhelm Thackeray's defense and forcibly dunked the opponent.

This guy Thackeray may have a very positive attitude, but he really doesn't have the ability to compete in the NBA. The gap between a fringe player and a top star in the league is just that exaggerated.

Only tens of seconds later, An Jie returned again. He first attacked the rim with a hook, but the ball unexpectedly missed.

There was a deafening yell at the Staples Center in an instant, and Thackeray actually blocked An Jie!

However, before the fans in Los Angeles were happy, An Jie quickly took off for the second time, stretched his long arms through a Thackeray, and lightly tapped the basketball that knocked out of the frame.

"It's an exaggerated second take-off speed. Even if Thackeray is in a favorable position, he can't protect the rebound! My God, it's so easy to score a double-double in this game!" Reggie Miller laughed Shaking his head in embarrassment, this is not a competition at all for An Jie, but a pure performance!

Between Thackeray and Angie, there may be a difference of ten O'Neills.

Afterwards, Jordan Clarkson, a spirited second-round pick, carried the banner of the Lakers' offense. The young guard from the second round of the 2014 draft may be the only consolation for the Lakers in this poor season.

Clarkson has shown his extraordinary potential. Perhaps the Lakers cannot rely on Clarkson to rise, but Clarkson is definitely the catalyst for the rise of the Lakers dynasty.

The Lakers' No. 6 consecutive shots have brought a lot of trouble to Matthews, a guard who is also unfavorable in the draft. Clarkson has relatively comprehensive skills and can shoot suddenly. This kind of opponent is often the biggest headache for Matthews.

However, if the Lakers can beat the Blazers with a second-round pick, then the defending champion is too unqualified.

An Jie broke out suddenly with four minutes left in the first quarter. He gave the Lakers two consecutive big shots in the penalty area and scored eight points in a row, widening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop!

Before the Lakers realized what was going on, they were crushed to death by the Trail Blazers.

Kobe, who was watching the game from the bench, shook his head. Although he really didn't want to admit it, considering the current situation... the Trail Blazers defeated their own Los Angeles Lakers in just one quarter!

After the game, there was no suspense at all. From the beginning of the game to the present, the Lakers have not achieved even a second lead. This group of patchwork starters couldn't even narrow the point difference to within double digits.

An Jie scored crazy points on the court, and the basketballs missed by the Lakers players also became the statistics of An Jie's rebounds.

The local media in Los Angeles fell silent. Instead of failing because of his arrogance, Anjie scored a double-double in just half the game!

"16 points and 10 rebounds! In just half a game, Ann continued his double-double record! Let us congratulate him. Starting today, Anjie's 53 consecutive double-double records will tie Love for the first place in the league. !" The commentators of countless TV stations have drawn out their voices, and there is nothing to watch in this game itself. But Anjie's particularity made this game the focus of all eyes.

"This generation of young people...it's incredible..." Kobe shook his head helplessly. This league is really dominated by young people now.
