Chapter 50: A Love Story in a Small Central Town
With March Madness behind and all eyes on the NBA again, it's time for teams to compete directly for playoff qualification. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It has nothing to do with Anjie, but Divac still asks him to watch every game as much as possible. It's just that now it's not as simple as just watching the excitement before, and there are so many things to learn in it.
Since you want to watch the game, then where else is more suitable than the bearded Chinese restaurant? Training during the day and going to the bearded shop at night to watch the game has become the main theme of An Jie's life.
"Ann, how is the draft thing considered?" asked An Jie as the bearded man wiped the table at the bar.
"Mr. Divac suggested that I go to the draft this year, but I still want to play for the Whirlwind for one more year. An Jie stared intently at the game on the screen.
"It's not impossible, and by the way, you can bring me more guests here, haha. ”
Catherine listened silently beside her, if she participated in the draft, did that mean that Angel was leaving? She got up and went back to her room without saying hello to anyone. Although An Jie was watching the game intently, he still observed that something was wrong with Catherine.
"Knock knock. Catherine was lying on the verge of falling asleep when she suddenly heard a knock on the door outside her room.
She thought it was a beard, so she opened the door without asking. Who knew that after opening the door, An Jie was standing at the door bent over.
"Uh, can I go in? I just want to talk to you. An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly, this was the first time he had entered the girl's room.
When An Jie bent down and walked into the door, which was a little short for him, he was stunned by what he saw.
The table in Catherine's room was cluttered with sports newspapers and basketball magazines, the only thing they had in common was that the cover was all himself. It turned out that the girl ......
"Are you going to the draft?" Catherine's melodious voice broke Anjie's thoughts.
"I want to play one more year with the Whirlwinds. ”
"No, I mean, no matter how many years you play here, you're going to go to the draft at the end?" Catherine stared at An Jie with dark blue eyes, and An Jie was a little distracted.
"yes, I want to play professional basketball, so no matter what ends up, I'm probably going to go to the draft. What's the matter, even you care about this?" Hasn't Catherine always been less interested in basketball? Now that Anjie has seen basketball magazines and is being asked about these things by Catherine, he feels that things are strange.
"Once you're in the draft, you're going to be a big star. Ames City doesn't have an NBA team either, and you're so busy training and playing...... Do you still have a chance to come back?" Catherine said, bowing her head. This boy still doesn't belong to her.
"Catherine. An Jie didn't answer, just called her name.
"Huh?"
"Be my girlfriend. ”
"Oh..... Wrong...... What!?" Catherine stood up suddenly, and even then Anjie didn't have to look up at her.
"Uh...... Be me...... Be my girlfriend. No matter where I am in the future, I ...... I'll be thinking about you, and it won't be long before I can bring you to me. Anjie was looked at like this by Catherine, but she didn't have the courage just now.
What Catherine wants is a promise, if An Jie didn't have any relationship before he left, then An Jie might not really come back, and now, she was a little relieved.
"Is your dream really to play professional basketball? ”
"That's right. An Jie thought to herself, is Catherine turning the topic away from him a tactful rejection?
Unexpectedly, Catherine suddenly walked towards An Jie and kissed An Jie's forehead. An Jie felt as if her whole body had been electrocuted, completely numb. "If you can be drafted in the top 15, I'll be your girlfriend. ”
One encouragement, one commitment, one love.
"That's what you said, don't go back!" Anjie knew that Catherine was just trying to motivate herself in this way, and she had actually agreed.
"No remorse. ”
The bearded man sat on the stairs, and he heard all the conversation in the room clearly. Daughter, daughter, have you finally found a place to rely on?
After that day, Divac began to suffer. An Jie is now like a chicken blood, and he is ruthless when he fights against him, an "old man".
"That's right, it's supposed to be like this!" Divac couldn't help it, and while holding his aching waist, he had to encourage An Jie to continue to exert himself.
The two men, one old and one young, occupied the basketball court for a long time, until one day a third man appeared in the training field.
Divac singled An Jie with his back, and now he can't just rely on strength and weight to eat his own disciples, he has to come up with something real.
The left and right shoulders kept shaking, An Jie was unmoved, after hundreds of failures, Divac's routine An Jie now understands it very clearly.
Turning left, Divac rushed in the direction of the bottom line, An Jie hurriedly followed, raised his hands and pasted it. Who knew that Divac hadn't broken through yet, so he leaned directly on An Jie, and then forcibly jumped and threw the ball to the basket at will.
"Defensive foul! Divac gets two free throws. Divac read his performance in the narrator's tone.
"What!?" Anjie obviously didn't expect this to happen, he felt that his defense just now had been successful.
"There are a lot of people in the NBA league who are more ruffians than me, and you have to use different defensive strategies when you meet different opponents. If your opponent is the type of person Asakin type, then you can boldly stick to him, anyway, his tenacious guy will never appreciate the beauty of making fouls. But if you're playing against someone like me, you have to watch out for his intention to foul. Put him at a distance, anyway, his real purpose is not to attack the frame directly. On the inside, you can't easily get an unnecessary foul. Every foul you make is valuable, and be sure to use it in the right place. Divac preached again, but Anjie listened very carefully.
"Alright, let's take a break. Divac waved his hand, Divac was no pressure when he first fought against An Jie, but now An Jie alone can make him sweat.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. An Jie picked up the basketball and prepared to return the color.
"I'm tired!"
An Jie smiled and sat directly on the floor, and when he turned his head, he saw Catherine sitting on the sidelines.
"When did you come?" it wasn't until Anjie asked that Divac noticed that there was one more person off the field.
"I just came, and I didn't have a class in the afternoon, so I came over to have a look. Catherine was still smiling mischievously, but with a big beard, it seemed that her daughter would not often go to the store to help now.
"Okay, but I'll have to train for a while. An Jie did not let her training slack off because of the arrival of the girl.
"It's okay, you train slowly, I said there was no class in the afternoon. Catherine stared at her blue eyes, and there was a charm in her eyes. Divac looked at the two from afar, smirking evilly. An Jie, this kid, turned out to be not a wooden head,
What was he practicing? Catherine couldn't read it, but now she was suddenly interested in basketball. She wants to enter Anjie's world, and basketball is Anjie's world.
In the United States, it is normal for high school students to fall in love, and it is not uncommon for many high school students to have children. When they go to university, many people bring their children during the day and come to class in the afternoon. Not to mention in the NBA, there are players who look very young, and when you are still wondering if he is married, other people's children will play soy sauce. Therefore, love has never been a stumbling block on the road to professional sports. If done right, it could turn into a powerful catalyst.
An Jie's love is now clearly playing a positive role.
"If you can be drafted in the top 15, I'll be your girlfriend. This sentence has been around Anjie's ears, urging him to constantly "torture" Divac.
The decision also slowly surfaced in An Jie's heart.
