Just one day after the meeting with Olajuwon, Moslav officially received an invitation to report to the training camp in Houston on July 5. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After this incident, An Jie's vacation really began.

Just as the playoffs were in full swing, the NBA officially announced the attribution of the regular season awards.

While the media was speculating about who would win the prize among the '08 rookies, the Thunder had the last laugh.

The team's star Durant won the Most Improved Award, while Anjie won the Rookie of the Year award ahead of top pick Derrick Rose.

Anjie averaged 18.9 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, which is better than Rose's 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists. Winning an award, that's a well-deserved thing. The only thing Rose can compete with Angel is that his team is in the playoffs.

The move made An Jie the first Chinese in NBA history to win Rookie of the Year and the first 12th pick to win Rookie of the Year. Although it is not a counterattack with a low order, as a player who was traded as soon as he was selected, and as a player who is not favored by many people, An Jie's story is still talked about.

It's just that the general manager of the Kings is almost drowning in the saliva of the fans.

"Look at the Thunder team, they have won the best rookie for two years in a row! What about us!?

Subsequently, Anjie and Westbrook were both selected to the rookie first team, and in the center position, no rookie performance can compare to Anjie.

Immediately, An Jie became famous in the entire world, and later the media also revealed that An Jie even almost replaced O'Neal and was selected for the NBA third team of the year. All these rumors and honors have made Anjie's value soar. He himself is naturally happy.

In May, Iowa State University ended its spring semester, and Catherine finally didn't have to be confined to class and was able to follow Angel around.

In the first half of the month, Anjie took Catherine to New York, San Francisco, Utah and Los Angeles respectively, of course, the two little couples naturally went to the scene to watch the playoffs a few times on the way.

Giardina would call An Jie every three or four days, and when she found out that An Jie already had a girlfriend, she was so sad.

However, after a few days of sinking, the little girl launched a new offensive against An Jie. It's just a pity that Giardina is preparing for her next album this summer, so she doesn't have much time to go out freely. During this time, she could only keep in touch with An Jie by phone.

Whenever Giardina called, Angel would tell Catherine that it was just a friend's call. Because he didn't have anything wrong with Giardina in his mind, in order not to let Catherine misunderstand so as not to get blacker, An Jie used a sentence to prevaricate this regular call every time.

However, for half a month, they called three or four times a week, and even Morris and Durant did not have such frequent contact with Anjie, so Catherine became suspicious.

While Angel and Catherine were lying on the beach in Los Angeles, Catherine finally couldn't help but want to figure things out.

"Ann, isn't the person who calls you every week the singer named Giardina?" Catherine remembered the complicated look in Giardina's eyes when she looked at Anjie.

"Uh...... Listen to Catherine. Looking at Catherine's deep blue eyes, An Jie couldn't tell a lie. People are not afraid of crooked shadows, thinking of this, An Jie suddenly couldn't understand what he was afraid of.

"Giardina and I are really just ordinary friends, she is working on her new album recently, she rarely has the opportunity to go out, she has to compose and write lyrics every day, and her life is very boring. So she would call her friends from time to time to talk to her, and it just so happened that I was part of her social circle. Angel sat up from the recliner and took Catherine's hand.

I didn't go to a nightclub or bar once during the season, and the only scandal that came out was framed and fabricated. Compared with those stars who sing every night, An Jie's off-court resume has always been very clean.

Catherine is willing to believe Angel, after all, Angel doesn't look like someone who would do that kind of thing.

"If you dare to fool around with other women, see how I clean you up. Catherine suddenly pinched An Jie's arm, it was really painful and happy......

Catherine had been obedient for so long that Anjie had almost forgotten how spicy this blonde girl was.

"What kind of chef is not cooking, this plate of rice is fried by me! You criticize me for stir-frying things like this, it's just disgusting!" Catherine's first words to An Jie echoed in his mind.

Aside from that little episode, the whole trip of the two young couples was very enjoyable.

It's just the Rockets' playoff journey that made all Chinese fans, including An Jie, very sad.

Against the Trail Blazers, "African Mountain" Mutombo suffered a knee injury and was out for the season. Uncle Mu's desperate eyes when he was lying on the floor were unforgettable.

Then the Rockets broke the first-round curse under the leadership of Yao Ming and entered the Western Conference semifinals to face the powerful Los Angeles Lakers.

But the worst thing happened, in the third game of the playoffs, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant collided together in the third quarter. The collision not only injured Yao Ming's knee, but also caused him to crack a bone in his left foot.

Yao Ming insisted on playing the whole game and winning, which touched everyone, but in the fourth stop, he couldn't play again. The Great Wall of China fell again, and the season was reimbursed.

An Jie called Yao Ming as soon as he learned of the situation, but it was always out of a state of no answer.

This is the reason why NBA teams are most afraid of choosing Chinese players, Yao Ming is certainly very strong, but endless injuries have not allowed him to lead the Rockets to really take off.

After that, Anjie completely lost the nature of tourism, and the two ended the trip early and returned to Ames City.

Not long after the sweet "unfinished" trip between the two, Westbrook and Durant arranged their itinerary and prepared to go to China with Anjie.

Although he was returning to China, An Jie did not stay at home for a few days. After all, there are not many tourist attractions in the small town where An Jie is located, and with Catherine, Westbrook and Durant, you can't spend most of the month in one province.

The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Potala Palace, Sanya...... It was another round of sightseeing, which also opened the eyes of Westbrook and Durant.

Although these two guys are already football stars, their families were not wealthy before, and it was actually their first time going abroad.

Everywhere they went, the three Americans would say "Wow." ”

In addition to tourism, the three of them also have a wide range of business activities in China.

When he arrived in Beijing, CCTV also invited An Jie to be a guest to explain a game between the Lakers and the Nuggets. During the period, they naturally talked about the injury, and An Jie also expressed concern about Yao Ming's injury during the live broadcast.

Although Yao Ming is strong, his heart is also made of meat. Hit by such a serious injury at a critical moment in the playoffs, he didn't want to talk to anyone at all for those days. Even his wife, Ye Li, couldn't communicate with Yao Ming normally.

So An Jie's call naturally did not get a reply.

It wasn't until the end of May, when Westbrook, Catherine and Durant all returned, that Anjie received a call back from Yao Ming at home.

"Brother Yao, how's the injury!?" An Jie saw the caller ID and immediately connected the phone.

There have been countless reports about Yao Ming's injury in recent times, but An Jie wants to know the current situation from Yao Ming's mouth.

"I heard that it's just a crack in the bone the thickness of a hair, it shouldn't be serious, when will I return to China?" This injury allows it to recover on its own for two months, and it will usually heal. But after Yao Ming went to Houston for a review, there was no news again. Not only Yao Ming, but even reporters have no news of him.

It was just a small injury, Yao Ming thought so at first, but when he returned with great expectations, everything changed.

"I can't come back to Anjie, and now I can't come back. Yao Ming's tone was heavy, and An Jie felt depressed just by hearing this voice. "The crack didn't grow, but it cracked even bigger. ”

"Then this ....." An Jie was speechless for a while.

"I can only have surgery, okay, let's talk about it when I have time. At this year's Asian Championships, we may not be able to play together again. After Yao Ming finished speaking, he hung up the phone. An Jie wouldn't say now that he could understand Yao Ming's pain, because he hadn't experienced it at all, he didn't understand it at all.

An Jie can only pray for Yao Ming in his heart now, even though he has always been an atheist.

The deterioration of Yao Ming's injury has cast a shadow on the entire Chinese basketball circle, and even An Jie, who is on vacation, feels that he is forced to breathe by this oppressive feeling.

In June, the NBA Finals, Morris was drafted. But Anjie is more concerned about his own training now, he doesn't want to get injured, he doesn't want to fall on the pitch one day.

After a week at home, Anjie flew to the United States again, staying in Ames City. Only there are more professional trainers who can make training plans for themselves. Only there can Ricard continue to help himself.

During this time, Anjie was not only able to continue to improve her physical fitness, but also to continue to spend holidays with Catherine.

On June 14, when Alston hit the final three-pointer, the entire Lakers roamed the basketball court.

99-86, the Lakers won on the road, winning the 08-09 NBA championship title with a total score of 4-1 in the Finals.

Anjie is a fan of the Lakers, and although he is already a professional player, he is still happy for the Lakers at this moment.

Peter Pan, who broke away from O'Neal, finally got an O'Brien Cup of his own.

The golden trophies are very dazzling on TV, An Jie unconsciously stretched out his hand, he didn't expect his desire for the O'Brien Cup to be so big.

After the Lakers won the championship, the entire 08-09 season was officially over. And An Jie and his Thunder team have already rested for two months.

Three days later, the NBA lottery draw officially began. Although the Thunder have had a good season this season, they still failed to make the playoffs and still qualified for the lotto draw.

The fateful table tennis ball spins wildly, but the devil knows if there is a shady scene in it.

Presti had good luck and still picked up the team's seventh pick despite his "excellent" results. After two years of successful drafting, Presti's operation is also in the spotlight.

On June 25, the day of the draft, Anjie came to New York again, accompanied by his good brother Morris, to Madison Garden Plaza.

"That's it, when you come out, you're a professional footballer too. Angel patted Morris on the shoulder, and a year ago, he and Mike Taylor had accepted their fate. Now, it's Morris' turn.

"Don't worry, Ann, I'm definitely higher than you!" Morris hammered Anjie's chest, and walked into the theater, accompanied by his family and Moslav.

The Los Angeles Clippers, the first pick, chose Blake Griffin, a highly anticipated interior player who became the new No. 1 pick.

The Memphis Grizzlies chose James Harden with the second pick, and Harden was originally a figure in Presti's picture, but the Grizzlies actually picked him away with the second pick.

The third-pick Golden State Warriors chose Steve Curry of Davidson College, and the rebuilding of the Black Eight Warriors officially began.

Presti, who lost James Harden with the seventh pick, thought about it for a long time and finally decided to pick a big man to bolster the Thunder's weak interior line.

The Oklahoma City Thunder picked up Andrew Morris with the seventh pick in the first round, from the Iowa State University Whirlwinds. ”

"What!?Thunder!hahahaha!Ann!I'm coming!" Maurice jumped to his feet in excitement, and Muslav let out a sigh of relief. Negotiate a contract with Presti, who has been working together for a long time, at least you don't have to deal with each other.

An Jie, who was standing outside the theater, watched the live broadcast of the draft on the big screen, and when the Thunder selected Morris, he jumped instantly.

There are also many media who can't get tickets to the small black house, so An Jie, who is outside the venue, has become the target of their roundup.

So much has happened in less than two months. Commercials shot with Durant, invitations to Big Dreams, Rookie of the Year, being named to the Rookie First Team of the season, trips with Catherine, injuries to Yao Ming, Westbrook and Durant's trip to China. And now, the Thunder have selected Morris.

In the past two months, life has been good and bad, but the general direction is still developing on the good side.

The hot June has also come to an end, which means that there are not many days for Anjie to be relaxed.

In July, he will attend Olajuwon's training camp.

In August, it was no surprise that he was going to participate in the Asian Championships.

September, summer league, preseason, team training camp.

Until the start of the new season in October, Anjie had no time to rest.

In just one summer, so much has changed. Only An Jie is still working tirelessly on the road of professional basketball and has never changed. (To be continued.) )
