As Riccard and Moore had expected, the press conference for Divac to join the Cyclones coaching staff went well. Many media www.biquge.info received the news and came to participate. However, Wu Hua accidentally became the only Chinese reporter to attend the press conference because he wanted to interview An Jie, and "Sports Herald" also got a scoop.

Some of the older fans were thrilled by Divac's arrival. Some of the younger fans were a little unimpressed. They think that Divac was just a mediocre guy when he was a player, and what is there to focus on now that he is a coach.

Those who say that Divac is mediocre are only in relation to that era. You know, that era was a golden age for the center. O'Neal the Great Shark, Admiral Robinson, Ewing the Gorilla, Olajuwon the Big Dream, Iron Hammer Monin. Playing against such a group of centre-forwards, it is only natural that Divac is underrated in their light. Divac is undoubtedly a legend in European basketball, and only Pau Gasol and Dirk Loweschi are the only big men from Europe who are expected to surpass Divac's predecessors.

Wu Hua and Cox finally got their wish and did an exclusive interview with An Jie, but they only asked some questions about An Jie's experience living in the United States and his feelings about his first NCAA game. After this, An Jie's life returned to peace, and there was no longer any media to disturb him. After all, he was just a collegiate player who played in the collegiate league. No matter how high the level of the NCAA is, its attention cannot be matched by that of professional sports.

Just after things were calming down, Iowa State played two more regular-season games.

On November 20, Iowa State University played Texas Tech at home, and Anjie still maintained a strong momentum in this game, cutting 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks. In addition, Mike Taylor also had 13 points, 8 assists and 3 steals, while Morris had a quasi-double-double of 11 points and 9 rebounds. In the end, the Cyclones defeated Texas Tech University 51-77 at home, ushering in a two-game winning streak.

On Nov. 28, the Cyclones took on the University of Colorado Buffaloes on the road, making the Cyclones' first road trip of the season. However, the buffalo, which is much larger than the wildcat, still cannot break through the raging whirlwind. In this game, Anjie had 18 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, while Taylor scored 19 points and added 5 assists. Morris finally got his taste of the sweetness against opponents who were far less physically than him, chipped in 15 points and 11 rebounds, and scored a double-double for the first time this season. The score was settled at 49-70, and the Cyclones won their first road trip and took their winning streak to three.

The regular season started with a three-game winning streak, which made the Cyclones fans very happy and crazy. You must know that the Whirlwind team won only a measly five games in total last season.

However, apart from the local fans in Ames, fans from other places believe that although the Whirlwind has indeed improved a lot, it can also be regarded as a mid-table team. Except for the Wildcats in the opening game, the last two opponents of the Whirlwind team are already weak, and winning these two opponents does not prove that the Whirlwind team is very good.

As for Anjie, he hasn't faced any decent opponents in three consecutive matches. Anyone can pinch soft persimmons, so An Jie's strength has also aroused doubts among everyone.

Because of this, the next game of the Whirlwind team has become the focus of many people's attention. Iowa State University challenged Texas A&M University away, and Texas A&M University also won three straight games in the opening game, and there was one person who performed very well.

The player hit 16 consecutive goals in his first three games, breaking the Big 12 League record held by Mickey Moore in 1988 at the University of Nebraska for 13 consecutive goals.

This player is also a center forward, but unlike Anjie. If Anjie is the representative of the technical center in the Big Twelve League, then this player from Texas A&M University is the representative of the physical strength center in the Big Twelve League. This guy has the same name as the god of basketball, and he is DeAndre Jordan.

This strong dialogue between the two is the moment to truly test An Jie's strength.

Of course, that's just a discussion among the fans. As for An Jie himself, his heart is very calm. I still train hard every day, receive guidance from Divac, and then continue to train myself in the evening. Day in and day out, without interruption.

………………..

Speaking of Divac's guidance to Anjie as a center coach, it actually started from the first day he came to the team.

As a person who doesn't jump high, isn't physically strong enough, and has no talent and quality in the NBA league, being able to stand up to those first-class centers in the league in the 90s without falling behind is not just a fake fall. Therefore, there are so many things to learn from Divac.

Divac was one of the most notorious inside villains of the year, and Anjie was really worried about whether he would break a few ribs during training. However, the first few days of training Divac was surprisingly gentle, and the first lesson he prepared for these center lads was shooting.

"A center's first target is, of course, the basket, and a center who can only shoot on the outside is not a center at all. If you think about Yao Ming and Oku respectively, you know the difference between being able to shoot and only shooting outside. None of you here are O'Neal or Howard, and even if they don't shoot, even if they don't shoot, even if others know that they can only play inside, not many people can stop them. Without such a physical advantage, we cannot limit our own development because we do not have a range. It doesn't hurt to diversify your offensive means. "Divac was very good at shooting from the middle, but he got the right balance between shooting and shooting from the outside, which made him a well-rounded big man.

A perfect shot definitely needs a standard technical action as a basis, as a jungler born in Anjie, even if it seems that his shooting is very good in the center, but such a standard system of training is still very necessary for Anjie. And Divac, as a big man, can also teach Anjie a lot of the essentials that big men need to master when shooting.

Of course, as Divac said, he is the team's center coach and not Anjie's personal coach. So in addition to Anjie, Asakin and Morris were also taught by Divac. However, because the two of them don't like to shoot for so many years, their hand is not soft. Therefore, the improvement of the two of them in shooting is not as obvious as that of An Jie.

In the next few days, Divac's training was also all-encompassing, with basket confrontations, basket positions, rebounds, back-to-back skills, and even small movements and fake fall skills during offense and defense. Of course, Divac will not be able to pass on all his life's learning to Anjie in a few days, and he is only scratching the surface of what he has taught this young man.

"You must be fierce to me on the basketball court, especially An Jie! You can keep your modesty off the court, but when you get to the court, you have to show your blood! You have to let the opposing players know that the forbidden area is your territory, and if they dare to break in, they will definitely die a miserable death. After the cap, you can't just walk away with a blank face. Instead, you have to look proudly into the eyes of the guy you blocked, and then say to him: You dare to break into the penalty area again! Don't be too honest when defending and attacking, you can do whatever you want to make others uncomfortable, and add all the small actions that should be added to me. It made him upset, and the referee blew him!" In addition to the practical training in terms of technical movements, the tricks used by Divac as an inside butcher have also become part of the curriculum. An Jie is not disgusted with these contents, but learns them with relish and looks like them. It seems that An Jie's body really lives with a demon.

Anjie is a fast learner and willing to learn. Now what he looks forward to most every day is Divac's special training class. You learn something new every day and watch yourself get stronger day by day. This made Anjie more and more enthusiastic about the hard training, and his progress became faster and faster.

Time is just like Anjie's progress, moving forward rapidly every day. Before you know it, the day before the Cyclones challenge Texas A&M University, the day before they travel to Texas A&M University.

At this time, in China, it is almost New Year's Day, and the atmosphere of Christmas in the United States is getting stronger and stronger. The old year is coming to an end, and people are looking forward to the new year.

What will An Jie's life be like next year? This incident has made An Jie upset these days.

Divac suggested that Anjie sign up for the draft and embark on the path of professional basketball. But An Jie is not very confident in this, you must know that he only received his first formal basketball training in September this year. He came to play in the NCAA just because he loved basketball and wanted to play in the NCAA. As for the path of professional basketball, he has never considered it.

Signing up for the draft means giving up your college studies. According to the NBA's draft rules, even if you lose the draft, you can only become a free agent and not go back to college to continue your education. His parents worked hard for most of their lives and took out almost all of their savings to study abroad, not to make themselves professional footballers. If you are selected, it is fine, if you are not selected, and you will abandon your studies, how will An Jie explain to her parents. Therefore, An Jie has not told his family about this matter for the time being.

An Jie tossed and turned in such an upset state, without any sleep. Tomorrow's game against DeAndrew, Jordan, who is in the limelight, has also been thrown out of the sky by him......
