The Thunder played three more warm-up games in the following week, and P.J. Calesimo still wanted to see anyone other than the three rookies step up, but he didn't wait for that person to appear. www.biquge.info The Thunder lost three games and three losses with three young players running out of playing time with three young men, and the loss against the 76ers brought the NBA rookie to four straight losses in the preseason alone. The rest of the Thunder team really proved themselves with their strength and proved that they really can't do it......

In all three games, Calesimo deliberately hid the three youngsters and did not give them much time to perform. It's really putting the cart before the horse, where is there any team that will rest the rookies in the preseason and let the veterans fight hard. But that's what makes the Thunder special, they're a new team, and this team is completely supported by newcomers.

After all four preseason games, Anjie averaged 7.2 points and 7 rebounds per game, while Westbrook showed his super offensive talent, averaging 11.4 points per game and 3.2 assists. However, in the talent-rich NBA league, Anjie and Westbrook's statistics are not bright at all. But that's exactly what Presti and Calesimo wanted, hiding their true blades, and then pulling them out at a critical moment to hit the nail on the head!

After all the preseason games, the Thunder were given a week off, their final week of free time before the long season that was about to begin.

After communicating with his parents on the phone, Anjie did not return to China, but took a plane from Oklahoma to the place where Anjie was raised, Ames City.

The reporters who knew Anjie's itinerary were not idle, and all booked air tickets. However, when they surrounded the gate of the airport according to the information on the intelligence, they did not see An Jie for a long time.

"Boss, it's really you! How did you come up with this trick!" An Jie happily sat in Ricard's car, and after communicating with the airport, Ricard was able to drive the car directly into the airport. If it weren't for Anjie's high popularity in Ames City, the airport would not have been able to accede to such a request.

An Jie left the airport with such a swagger, and it was also hard for the reporters who had been waiting outside for so long. Anyway, An Jie had already informed Wu Hua that he would not be caught by the media, so Wu Hua continued to vacation leisurely and did not come to interview at all. As for the other journalists, they can only say sorry to them.

An Jie just didn't want to be disturbed by the media this week, he wanted to experience the carefree life he had in Ames City.

The people of this small town will not embarrass An Jie, their own child, just like when they played NCAA before, the citizens just greeted An Jie cordially after seeing An Jie, at most they asked for an autograph or a group photo, there would not be too many excessive requirements, and it would not be difficult to surround An Jie.

"How long are you going to come back this time?" Ricard used the word "come back", which made Anjie feel a little bit of belonging.

"The team only had a week off and had to report back after a week, and I heard that the training camp before the start of the season was the hardest. Sitting in Riccard's car, Anjie looked out the window at the familiar street scene that was constantly flowing by, and he actually had a vague feeling of coming home.

"Cherish it, 82 regular season games, you have to suffer. Ricard shook his head, the NBA league has made the game so long in order to get the most benefit, and I don't know how many excellent players have been injured on this perverted super long schedule.

"I've ...... We enjoyed the life of Ames City. Anjie didn't waste a single second, and the river cruise in Ames City was already part of the enjoyment for him.

Since Anjie has dropped out, it is impossible for Iowa State University to keep a dormitory or rental house for Anjie. Anjie originally wanted to stay in a hotel, but at Ricard's strong invitation, Anjie finally agreed to stay at Ricard's house.

"This room was reserved for my unborn child, and now it's yours for the time being. Rickard pushed open the door for Anjie, and a clean, but very empty room was displayed in front of Anjie's eyes.

"Unborn child, Boss, you won't be ......" Angel stared at Ricard, and Peggy, who was standing next to Ricard, smiled happily.

"Oh my God, he's going to be a great little guy. "An Jie admires and respects this coach who led himself into the door in his heart, Ricard has a happy event, and An Jie is also happy for his enlightenment coach from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, Team Whirlwind is also starting to prepare for the new season. ”

"Yes, just like last year, there are a lot of new people. "Since the Cyclones made it to the Sweet 16 last season, many of the best high school players this season have come to Iowa State University, so this season's recruitment work is much easier than last year's. But Rickard would stop and watch every day as he passed by the outdoor basketball court, and what if he spotted another Angel?

"If I could, I would still like to train there. Anjie said, pulling out a Spalding basketball from his luggage.

"You, you're the same. But are you still afraid that the Whirlwinds' training ground won't have a basketball for you?" Ricard pointed to the basketball in Anjie's hand in confusion.

Russell said that it is better to bring an NBA game ball to practice, because different basketballs will have different feels. Anjie stared blankly at the basketball in his hand, and he didn't know if Westbrook's theory was right.

Ricard smiled and shook his head, if An Jie had been so diligent, then he would definitely be able to make a difference in the future. He really feels lucky and glad that he can coach such a good person.

That night, Angel took the Ricard family to the bearded Chinese restaurant. The bearded man who had already received An Jie's call prepared a large table of sumptuous Chinese food, and as always, all the orders were free.

At the moment when An Jie pushed the door and walked into the store, Catherine suddenly ran over excitedly and hugged An Jie. During this time, she could only see this big boy on TV and in the newspapers, and she already missed it very much.

Catherine didn't know how she could have become so bold, and the emotion she had when she saw An Jie made her unable to control her actions.

Anjie was a little shy at first, but under the bearded man and the disapproving gaze of the Ricards, the two finally hugged each other tightly.

The whole dinner went on very warmly, and the Ricards also shared their happiness about having a child, which provoked an enthusiastic discussion about the child. In the end, the three adults did not forget to ridicule the love between An Jie and Catherine, which made the little couple blush.

In the end, Anjie and Catherine went out for a walk alone until late, and even so, the two were still reluctant to cling to each other when they separated.

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

After an hour of turnaround that had left many players slumped to the floor, Anthony Benn looked at the newcomer who was slumped on the floor and couldn't help but think back to what happened here last year. Just then, the door of the gymnasium was pushed open by a tall guy.

"What hapless man would dare to come so late?" said Anthony Ben, looking up, and there was going to be another show to watch later. But when he saw the faces and complexions of the people who came, he was speechless with astonishment.

"Why, you don't know me?" Anjie walked up to Anthony Ben and slapped the sluggish guy on the head.

Immediately everyone stood up, some newcomers, some old guys who had been in the team last year.

"I know you haven't forgotten where you walked out from!" Asakin tied An Jie from behind with a bear hug, and An Jie felt as if she couldn't breathe.

There were no less familiar faces, except for Mike Taylor and Morris, of course.

"You're not going to be the boss, you're going to be a sparring partner, are you? Asakin joked with An Jie, thinking that he could eat this tall and thin boy casually, but now An Jie has become an NBA-level player, which is really fateful.

"If you want me to be a sparring partner, you want to be beautiful!" An Jie faced this group of acquaintances, and he didn't have the shyness to the outside world.

"Hey, Ann, can you sign me for it?" As they were talking, a new Whirlwind player suddenly came up. He inherited Anjie's No. 2 shirt and is also a centre-forward.

An Jie has now become one of the symbols of the Whirlwind team.

While the players of the Whirlwind team were preparing for the game, An Jie was also training on the sidelines. He didn't know why, but he remembered the old demon who was not clean all over his body when he played. An Jie's ability to play professional basketball is inseparable from the dedication of many people, and there are too many people he has to thank.

A week passed quickly, and while Anjie thought he was still preparing for the NCAA season, reality had to remind him that he was about to face the test of an entire NBA season.

"Come on, the Ames fans are still watching you. Before leaving, Rickard patted the proud protégé's arm.

An Jie's clothes still have the tear stains left by Catherine just now, who knows how long it will take to say goodbye?

"I'm not going to disgrace the Whirlwinds. ”

Waving goodbye, a man's struggle has always been full of loneliness and hardship. In the new NBA season, Anjie is ready to cross that mountain.

With everyone's expectations, Anjie took off again. Indeed, as Muslav said, the cockpit of the plane is already home to professional footballers.

Let's go, Anjie, with everyone's blessings, you must walk out of a wonderful future!
