Madison Square Garden Theatre, New York. An Jie didn't expect www.biquge.info that he would come here again to participate in the draft. Just four years ago, Anjie ushered in a turning point in his life here. And he's here today to turn the fate of the Trail Blazers.

Countless fans and rookie players took photos outside the theater, and of course, the appearance of Anjie and Ol Nelsey naturally caused a frenzy of journalists.

"You and Mr. Orsi must already have candidates in mind, right? Who will you use with the sixth pick to choose to join the Trail Blazers, a team that is at the level of the Western Conference Finals? I heard that you are very interested in Michael Kidd Gilchrist, will you pick him before other teams?" And this draft is also likely to make a qualitative change for the Trail Blazers.

"We do have a few candidates in mind at the moment, but we have to decide who we want to choose after we enter the theater. An Jie responded to the reporters carrying the camera with a friendly smile, and it could be seen that getting a sixth pick made An Jie feel very good.

Sitting in the luxurious box of the theater, a familiar feeling instantly came to your face. Looking at the rookies sitting in the audience, looking at the expectant and nervous expressions on their faces, this kind of picture reminds An Jie of himself back then.

Ignorant of his youth, he waited nervously for the results in the company of his family, Mike Taylor and Muslav. And now, he has become the guy who decides the fate of others.

"Do you still reserve your opinion?" Seeing that the draft was about to begin, Orsie finally asked Anjie about his decision.

"I think he's the best fit for us, and of course, the final decision is up to you. I just hope that you can make the right decision. After An Jie finished speaking, he looked down from the luxury box. That guy's expression was much calmer than that of the other rookies, and his eyes were very resolute.

A burst of applause brought Anjie's thoughts back to the draft meeting, David Stern has taken the stage at this moment, and the draft conference is about to officially begin!

Another lethargic but applauding speech seemed to go on for a long time, and David Stern, the old man, always had a knack for complicating a simple matter. But I have to admit that without him, the current NBA league would not be so successful.

While David Stern was talking, Orsie, who was next to Angel, was talking on the phone all the time. Now that the entire NBA league is at the peak of making trades, there are many rookies who may be involved in a trade just after being drafted, just like Anjie. What's more, some teams will sell their draft picks aggressively at this moment.

Orsi had been busy writing down something, but Anjie wasn't worried about it. He trusts Orsie to be the kind of person who walks the talk, and if he says he'll discuss changes with Anjie, then he won't make any major decisions on his own.

Just as Orsie hung up all the calls, the 2012 NBA Draft officially began. Anjie and Orsi glanced at each other, and a draft meeting that determined the development prospects of the Trail Blazers finally began!

With the first pick, the Hornets picked Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick without exception. This big-eyed guy is destined to be the next superstar before he even enters the league. There are players whose talent is like this, and people can't question him in the slightest.

With the second pick, the Bobcats surprisingly selected McKeggie with an eye pick. Looking at McKeggie's incredulous expression, I believe that even he didn't expect him to be selected with the second pick.

Although none of these drafts have anything to do with the Trail Blazers so far, Anjie is still so nervous that his palms are sweating. He's worried, worried that guy will be picked by another team first.

The fourth-pick Cavaliers had been looking for a guard to partner with Irving, but the moment they decided to go with Dion Vitesse, Angel felt like his breath was finally relieved.

The Kings seem to have been obsessed with big men since losing Anjie, and they fear that they will miss out on a good interior player again and make a big mistake. So this time, the Kings drafted Thomas Robinson as power forward with the fifth pick. Seeing that the Kings made this decision, An Jie was so happy that he almost jumped up from his seat, the top five teams had already made their choices, and the guy An Jie fancied was still not picked by any team!

"Are you sure?" In the final minutes left for the Trail Blazers to decide, Orsie sniffed Anjie the same question again. "Even if he's a senior, even if he's in a health problem, even if he's not going to be anybody, you've decided he's going to be that guy?"

"We don't have a better choice, trust me. That's what you said, I'm the one who plays on the pitch, and I know who is the best player for the team. Anjie winked at Orsie, who immediately typed the guy's name into his phone and sent it to the NBA official.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. Now, Ann in the luxury box has made a decision. After the host finished speaking, the spotlight of the theater shone on the box where Anjie and Orsi were. There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and it seems that An Jie's popularity in the league is still very high.

"The sixth pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers chosen—"

It doesn't matter, Duncan also finished four years of college before participating in the draft. It doesn't matter if Morris and Anjie are brothers and sisters who have also been reimbursed for seasons. Although he has such and such shortcomings, Anjie believes that this guy's strengths can make the Trail Blazers one step closer to the O'Brien Cup!

"Damien Lillard, from Weber State University!Congratulations!" the host finally announced the answer, and Damien Lillard just smiled slightly and walked onto the stage. Does it sound like a lot of fun to work with a monster like Anjie......

"Whew, okay, it's useless to regret it now. I hope you've made the right choice, Ann. Orsie watched Lillard put on the Trail Blazers' baseball cap and face the never-ending flash of reporters, this sixth-overall pick was a gift from God to the Trail Blazers, and Orsie didn't want this hard-earned gift to go to waste.

"Hey, this is just the first step in our championship plan. I may have to make a draw with the national team in a few days, and the rest will be left to you. An Jie patted his general manager on the shoulder, tomorrow, the NBA summer transfer and signing window will be fully opened, and the pattern of the entire NBA league is likely to change dramatically during this time. However, due to the imminent start of the London Olympics, Anjie had to leave the United States temporarily, so he could not really participate in this operation.

"Don't worry, I won't give you that 100 million yuan contract in vain. I'm going to do my best to help you win the championship. Orsi leaned back on the couch as the Trail Blazers had a couple of second-round picks to decide, and all of that was just the beginning of a busy summer.

Summer may be a holiday for others, but for Angel and Orsi, it's been just as busy as it was at the start of the season.

Since it was decided to attack the highest honors, these sacrifices were naturally indispensable.

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

A few days after the draft, on July 4, An Jie took a flight to China again. But this time he returned to China not for vacation, but 23 days before the start of the Olympics, to complete the meeting with the national team.

In the past, Anjie would always stay in the United States for a long time to participate in international competitions, and would not meet with the team until a week or two before the start of the game. The main reason for this is that the quality of training on the American side is indeed much better than that of the national team. Therefore, Anjer would rather stay in the United States for a few more days than report to the national team early.

But this time there was no way, the Basketball Association strongly demanded that An Jie must join the national team a month in advance. The Olympic Games are the most important sports feast for China, so the importance attached to this competition is completely different from that of events such as the Asian Championships and the World Championships.

An Jie doesn't want to offend the Basketball Association because of this trivial matter, and the Basketball Association has always relaxed its policies towards An Jie. This time, it is understandable to let An Jie meet the requirements of the Basketball Association in turn.

As a result, An Jie went to train with the national team almost a month ahead of schedule. In the United States, she is busy with training and draft all day long, so Anjie has no feeling for the Olympics. But as soon as he returned to China, this strong Olympic atmosphere wrapped An Jie's whole person tightly.

It wasn't until I entered the training base that I saw that "big brothers" like Zhu Fangyu and Liu Wei were training very seriously. An Jie realized that he was going to the Olympics!

Most of the teammates of the national team are already very familiar with An Jie, and the national team coach Deng Huade also cooperated with An Jie at the World Championships. Therefore, An Jie quickly integrated into the team, to be precise, An Jie did not need to integrate into the team at all, but other players had to integrate into An Jie's system.

There is no doubt that as the only player in this national team who is still playing in the NBA and has achieved good results, Anjie will serve as the absolute core of this national team. Even Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi could not shake Anjie's core position.

Wang Zhizhi's last Olympic Games, An Jie's own first Olympic Games, of course, this is also the first Olympic trip of the Chinese men's basketball team after the lack of Yao Ming, and An Jie is the new core of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games. Although the Trail Blazers are expanding their recruitment for the championship, due to these reasons, An Jie unconsciously began to take the Olympics seriously.

Maybe the NBA's O'Brien Cup is the highest honor for basketball players, but the Olympic Games, an international competition, this kind of competition that really fights for the country, must not be perfunctory!

Serious training to prepare for the Olympics. At the same time, don't forget to keep in touch with Orsi as she prepares for the next NBA season. An Jie's summer is destined to be busy, and he will definitely gain something.
