An Jie sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper, and after the injury, he had paid little attention to basketball news outside the Thunder. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But before he returns, Anjie decided to find out what happened to the season he was absent.

"Derrick Rose became the youngest MVP in history!" The first title made Anjie's heart very stimulated.

He hasn't forgotten how the Thunder beat the Bulls to the ground in the opening game of the 10-11 season, and Rose also played a mess under Anjie's defense in that game. However, it is this guy who is the same age as himself, this guy who has been defeated by himself more than once, and has already won the regular season MVP award.

In the previous confrontation with Rose, Anjie can be said to have never fallen behind. Fortunately, now that during An Jie's injury, everyone else won the MVP of Rose, but An Jie's third season was blank.

"Kevin Durant retains the scoring title!" The second headline not only made Anjie happy for Durant, but also made Anjie worry about his future. Durant is now a veritable superstar, and with the Thunder, Westbrook's ability to control the ball is already the biggest compromise Durant can make. An Jie didn't dare to imagine what his tactical position would become after returning to the Thunder team.

After Westbrook was named to the All-...... Second Team and Andrew Morris was named to the All-Defensive Second Team, Anjie saw that Westbrook and Morris also achieved a lot. An Jie knows that basketball is not a simple game where the more stars the team will play, and now the Thunder team's lineup is very mature and stable, and it is not necessarily a good thing to suddenly insert himself.

His position on the Thunder team is one thing, and the official shutdown of the NBA league is the second thing that bothers An Jie.

When Moslav warned Anjie that the alliance was likely to shut down, Anjie was unimpressed. He believes that in this day and age, the shutdown is just a way for players to intimidate the league, and the league can't let that really happen.

However, this happened in real time, and now the players' union and the league are still actively negotiating, and there is no conclusion at all as to when the new NBA season will resume. The so-called "indefinite shutdown" is not bluffing. If the league and the players' union don't talk for a day, the new season won't start for a day.

That's not even the worst problem, the most serious problem is that all teams' training facilities are not available to players during the shutdown and teams have to close all training camps. And the league's transfer market, free agent market, etc., will all be closed.

Therefore, An Jie can only train with trainers now, and he can't reconcile with the Thunder, let alone participate in the team's joint training.

During the period when the NBA was temporarily "closed", most NBA players chose to play in other leagues. Among them, China's CBA league has become the stage chosen by most stars.

Under this general trend, the domestic demand for Anjie to play in the CBA is very high. Muslav did approach several CBA teams on the matter, but none of them came to an end.

For most NBA players who go to play in the CBA, they are just going to China to "pan for gold". They don't have big goals and they don't really fight for their team. Money is the only purpose for these guys to play in the CBA.

Anjie is a professional footballer, and he also has to make money by playing. But just for the sake of money, An Jie found that he couldn't do it.

Although he was injured for a season, Anjie still gets the salary he should get, and the Thunder team will not lose a point from him. In other words, although Anjie did not work for a season, his financial situation was not affected by this.

An Jie, who is not short of money, now has only one purpose if he wants to play, and that is to recover his condition and physical strength. If he wants to join a team, and the contract states that he can jump out of the contract and return to the NBA at any time, this is too commercial in Anjie's opinion. Either do your best for a team, or simply don't join. Wandering this kind of thing, An Jie doesn't like it.

Using a team that sincerely invites you to join as a money printing machine, Anjie has never been able to agree with this approach. Either you want to win, or you don't go to join. Anjie admits that it is impossible for him to put his heart into a CBA league team right now. So he simply turned down invitations from all CBA teams, including the European League, and focused on working hard for the new NBA season and the Thunder's second championship impact.

And the Drew League is undoubtedly the best stage to help Anjie find the feeling of the game without being disturbed by too many interest factors. However, An Jie's move was understood by the outside world as an escape.

"This guy is afraid that his bad form will be exposed, so he doesn't dare to play in the professional league. ”

Maybe Anjie can't even play the CBA now, so he simply waits at home for the Thunder to renew his contract. Lest the bad form is revealed, the Thunder will choose not to exercise their team option for the next year. ”

"He just can't do it, An Jie is very self-aware, so he doesn't dare to accept the contract and dare not come to the table to play. ”

Countless doubts came towards An Jie, and countless insults rushed into An Jie's ears. Even though Wu Hua wrote a lot of articles about how An Jie overcame his injury, the fans just couldn't listen to it. Now, there are only a handful of die-hard fans who are still silently supporting An Jie.

The days passed, and soon, Anjie didn't even have to play in the Drew League. As an amateur league, the Drew League has a very short schedule. In just one month, Anjie played an entire season in the Drew League.

Although we had to face the situation of not having the ball to play again, the good news came at this time, that is, the NBA collective bargaining finally came to an end.

On November 26, after a full month of postponement of the new NBA season, labor and management finally reached an agreement. It is also confirmed that the 11-12 NBA season will kick off on December 25, and the free agent market and training camp will also officially open on December 9.

Everything is finally back on track, and after a full year, Anjie finally has the opportunity to stand on the professional league again.

Sure enough, the day after the collective bargaining agreement was reached, Presti made a phone call to Anjie and Moslav to tell them that the team option would be exercised against Anjie for the remaining year of his contract.

In the last year, Anjie's salary finally broke through the 200 mark, reaching an annual salary of $310. But it doesn't matter to An Jie, he just wants to make his debut and show his skills quickly.

An Jie is now full of energy and is very happy. But Muslav has some doubts about the Thunder's approach, Anjie's contract is in the last year, but Presti doesn't mention anything about renewing his contract. Last year's Durant and this year's Westbrook, Prestico both renewed their contracts in advance, for fear that they would be poached by other teams.

But now, Presti only said to Anjie that he would carry out the final year of his contract, but did not say that Anjie's future will not belong to Oklahoma after a year. There's only one reason he did this, and that's that Presti didn't, or wasn't sure if Angel was part of the Thunder's plans for the future.

Durant and Westbrook are now the cornerstones of the Thunder's thunder, but Anjie, who has suffered a major injury and hasn't played a competitive game for a whole year, has not won Presti's trust.

However, seeing that An Jie was now in a state of eagerness to try, Moslav did not talk to An Jie about this, so as not to extinguish An Jie's enthusiasm.

Finally, on December 9, the Thunder team opened their training camp, and An Jie reunited with his teammates after a year's absence.

Everyone's attitude towards Anjie is still enthusiastic, and with a good centre-forward, Van Gundy can finally make a big impact in the new season. But during the day's confrontation training, everyone was also stunned by An Jie's performance.

Whether it was Morris or Ibaka, Anjie couldn't effectively contain their attack. Anjie knows that he needs a process of adaptation, he hasn't played for a year, and suddenly asks you to play with NBA-level players, it must be adapted. An Jie still feels that his legs are not open enough, and the rhythm is a little unable to keep up. But he knows it's not a big problem for him. This process is just something that must be experienced.

But in the eyes of others, especially Presti, a businessman, Anjie's problems have begun to come to light.

After that, the pre-season also came as scheduled. Anjie found that his status in the Thunder's tactical system has really become lower, and now Durant, Westbrook and Bledsoe occupy a lot of the ball, and Anjie can only do some blue-collar work on the court. And even the intensity of confrontation training An Jie did not fully adapt, let alone the official competition.

After three preseason games, Anjie scored 4 points and 4 rebounds, 6 points and 7 rebounds and 3 points and 4 rebounds respectively. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, Anjie and Van Gundy are going through this process, and Anjie's tactical status has become low, which is not to blame for Van Gundy, Van Gundy is also a change made to make the team better. The current An Jie is not enough to take on the big responsibility. An Jie is not in a hurry, he can only regain his position now by climbing the net step by step. He knew Van Gundy's style, and he knew that Van Gundy had never forgotten himself.

Anjie and Van Gundy are both thinking about the team, but in the eyes of outsiders, Anjie's poor performance is not a compromise and adaptation, and if you have to adapt, you should have adapted a long time ago. is also a season reimbursement for returning from injury, and the really powerful guy can immediately show performance. Even Presti began to decide in his heart about Anjie's future.

Presti didn't choose An Jie directly in the draft, and one of his biggest concerns was that he was afraid that An Jie would be injured like Yao Ming. Now it seems that Anjie really has a tendency to develop in that direction.

In the past few days, Presti has not received less offers from other teams. There were several proposals to trade Anjie that made Presti a little excited, but at the time he still felt that it would be better to watch a few games before making a decision. Now that Anjie has played like this in the preseason, Presti has re-taken out the few proposals that were ready to be thrown away. It's not that he's unkind, but the NBA is such a place where interests come first......

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

At the end of the day's training, Anjie took a shower and returned home with Morris. Today is December 21st, and although the new season will start in four days, Van Gundy has decided to let the players relax for a night and celebrate Christmas early. So tonight, the Thunder didn't practice.

Angel and Morris gathered in their cottage, and Catherine took time out of her busy schedule to rush to Oklahoma with her father.

Before the start of the new season, everyone wants to send their best wishes to Anjie, wishing him all the best in the new season after returning from injury. That's why Angel and Morris had such a grand Christmas this year.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry! With me, no one can bully An Jie in the future!" At the dinner table, Morris slapped his chest at An Jie's parents and promised.

"If you don't get into trouble with me, thank God. An Jie patted Morris on the shoulder, although it was just a joke, An Jie knew in his heart that if there was really anything, Morris would definitely be the first to stand up.

Just as An Jie's mother was about to cut the turkey, and everyone was picking up their wine glasses to celebrate the arrival of Christmas, An Jie's mobile phone suddenly rang.

"It's Mr. Moslav, who must have called to wish us a Merry Christmas. In order for everyone to hear the blessings from Muslav, Anjie also deliberately set the phone to speakerphone.

"Hello, Mr. Moslav, Merry Christmas. An Jie was smiling, everyone gathered together, the new season was about to start again, and his physical condition was getting better day by day. Everything couldn't have gone any better.

"Merry Christmas, did Presti call you?" but on the other end of the line, Muslav's voice was a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" An Jie was very strange, usually the players and the general manager did not have much personal contact, why did his manager suddenly ask this question.

"So you don't know yet, then I'll tell you, Ann, Presti's son of a bitch just told me that he has put you on the transfer transaction list, telling you to be ready to transfer at any time!"

The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze. On Christmas Eve, such news is a bit out of place.

"Transfer!?" An Jie muttered to himself in surprise, the word was so foreign to him, so unattainable. But today, just a second ago, he had a major relationship with the word.

An Jie's mind went blank, looking out the window at the snow-covered Oklahoma City, An Jie suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart. It's time to come, it's still coming.
