Chapter 176: The special training is over, and the training camp begins

The days in the big dream training camp are not easy, although the training intensity is not large, An Jie will still be tired and sweaty every day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Kobe's diligence and paranoia are beyond Anjie's imagination, and if he doesn't practice his technical moves one day, he will take the trouble to repeat them, a hundred, a thousand, or even more.

Kobe Bryant is already one of the top players in the league, but he has never lowered his requirements for himself.

With a companion like Kobe, An Jie's enthusiasm was naturally driven. Seeing that superstars like Kobe Bryant are working hard, An Jie has no reason to be lazy.

On July 15, when Anjie had just been sent to the hotel by Kobe Bryant after training, he received a strange phone call.

The caller ID of this phone makes Anjie feel intimate, because this string of numbers is from China.

"Hello?" An Jie answered the phone and sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby. Because he was afraid that when he entered the elevator, his phone would lose its signal.

"It's Anjie." A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.

"It's me, who are you?" Although he is already a public figure, An Jie is still very polite.

"Oh, haha, I'm Gong Luming, the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team this time. I called to inform you in advance that you have been selected for the national team and will be participating in the men's Asian Basketball Championship in August, and the official written notice may arrive in a day or two. Although An Jie had registered with the Chinese Basketball Association before officially playing in the NBA, it was all run by Moslav, and An Jie didn't have to work by himself at all. Therefore, Gong Luming is the first person An Jie and this system really came into contact with.

"Huh!? Oh! Thank you Gong Luming for your guidance, so when will you meet with the national team? An Jie didn't expect such an important message to come from this sudden phone call.

"The team has already started training, but considering that you have your own arrangements, you only need to report before August 1." Gong Luming smiled, and there was no team leader at all.

Since Yao Ming's huge success in the NBA, the current basketball association has been much more open than before. Most players who play in the NBA have "privileges". For example, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian can be approved by the Basketball Association to train abroad on their own and meet with the national team later. And now An Jie, who is only in the first grade, has already obtained this right.

An Jie can be regarded as born in a good era, this was seven or eight years ago, if An Jie insisted on staying to participate in the big dream training camp and not meeting with the national team, he would be labeled as a "treason" immediately.

Ma Jian, Wang Zhizhi, Battle and even Yao Ming, the tragic sacrifices made by their predecessors have allowed the new generation of players such as An Jie and Yi Jianlian to get a better living environment.

"Okay, I know, thank you Gong Luming for your guidance."

"How?" As soon as Gong Luming hung up the phone, Guo Shiqiang, the head coach of the national team, came up to ask. Players who play outside the system are generally left with the impression of "difficult to manage", not to mention that An Jie's arrogant and rude performance on the court worries Guo Shiqiang.

Yao Ming was injured, and the strength of the national team was immediately greatly reduced. The pressure was tight, saying that he must win the championship in Asia, so Guo Shiqiang had to choose to recruit the unfamiliar An Jie into his command. Otherwise, in Guo Shiqiang's heart, he didn't want to bring An Jie to the national team. This is also the reason why An Jie was notified so late, because Guo Shiqiang made the decision almost before the Asian Championships registration deadline.

A guy who has never played in China has only a few days to play with the national team, and it is a very important event for the above. It's good to say that An Jie can adapt, but if he can't adapt to the mess, all the fingers will be pointed at him, the head coach. After all, Anjie's success in the NBA is in front of everyone's eyes, and his strength is beyond doubt. To blame, only to blame him.

"Don't worry, Shiqiang, he didn't grow up in the United States. Before the age of 19, Anjie lived in China and received a Chinese education. Don't worry, this guy is no different from Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others. Gong Luming actually didn't expect An Jie to be so polite to him.

"You also know that the pressure on Hu Jiashi is tight, Da Yao is injured again, and the task of winning the championship is very difficult. That's why I don't dare to add uncertainties. Guo Shiqiang didn't have any personal opinions on An Jie, just for the sake of the team being able to successfully win the championship. After all, basketball is not a simple "1+1=2" game, and 1+1 can be less than zero under inappropriate circumstances. Anjie's excellent performance in the NBA does not mean that he can improve the strength of the national team.

"Don't worry about so many Shiqiang, Anjie will definitely be able to integrate into the national team. Is it easier to integrate into a team in the United States than in a team from your own country? When Da Yao first went to the United States, he was out of place there, and An Jie was able to adapt well from the beginning. This child's adaptability should not be a problem. ”

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

The Chinese men's basketball team began preparations for the Asian Championship championship in Tianjin, while An Jie continued to stay in Houston to improve his low-post ability.

An Jie thought that the big dream training camp would only improve his low-post offense, but he didn't expect that after fighting with the big dream again and again, An Jie's low-post defensive ability also improved.

In the past, Anjie couldn't guard against Craig. Smith's back hit turned and threw a small throw, but under Olajuwon's tutelage, Anjie would meet Craig again. Smith wasn't going to suffer.

Because Olajuwon is such a well-rounded player, the back play and turn small throw is not a strange move for Olajuwon, but a conventional weapon. And he will naturally hand all this over to An Jie, who has placed high hopes on him.

Anjie's performance is still excellent, he almost never throws last season, and now although his technical moves are still a little lame, the improvement is obvious.

"People say throwing is the preserve of small guards, but we need throwing skills as a center. When you can't get inside with your strength and can't shake off your opponent with your feet, in addition to passing, throwing can also help you solve the problem. Also a slender and tall center, Olajuwon will surely be another scoring weapon for Anjie.

The days of the training camp continued day by day, and after the tenth day, An Jie could only participate in the training alone. Because of the Kobe Bryant who invited An Jie to dinner every day. Bryant, having finished his training, is leaving Houston.

"Next season we're going to play it down low!" This is a text message that Kobe Bryant sent to Anjie before leaving.

In the past, when watching the game, An Jie would always feel strange why two players who were obviously opponents would hug each other cordially before the game. Now An Jie knows that those people are not putting on a show, but because off the field, they are real friends.

If Anjie goes to the Staples Center again next season, he will also give Kobe, the biggest rival, a hug.

Kobe Bryant left, but Anjie did not relax on his training.

Olajuwon saw that Anjie was a fast learner and taught more. At the beginning, An Jie could only learn one technical movement a day, but later, An Jie could learn two or three a day, and the absorption was equally good.

July 30 came soon, and Anjie did not have a day off in these 22 days, and Olajuwon also took the trouble to accompany Anjie.

When the last day of training was over, An Jie was a little reluctant to give up on this training camp.

The trainer, Olajuwon and this venue, accompanied him for a whole month, a pleasant one.

During this period, Da Meng let An Jie dance jazz dance and let An Jie do yoga. All kinds of hilarious pictures are still vivid. After all, a big man of 2.19 meters is really funny when he is stacked on a mat.

Flexibility, footwork, and skill, Olajuwon's training for Anjie is very comprehensive, and there are a lot of them. Because he knows that with An Jie's learning ability and basic basketball skills, coupled with his diligence, it is no problem to learn these things.

"Okay, as long as you continue to play, you'll definitely meet me." Seeing An Jie, who was still reluctant to leave after changing his clothes, Olajuwang went up and patted his disciple on the shoulder.

The new season has not been looked forward to in a long time. I don't know if my efforts in the past month have been in vain? Bryant is an outside player and has already made a name for himself, so even if he succeeds, people won't think it's a credit to Olajuwon's training camp.

But if Anjie has a qualitative leap next season, then Olajuwon's training camp will definitely be famous again.

Spending 100,000 US dollars on training in 22 days is definitely not a small amount, converted into 6.7 million yuan, and you must know that this is still the price of Olajuwon's tuition fee. But An Jie felt that the money was well spent.

Although reluctant, Anjie had already pre-purchased the ticket for the day, so he had to leave.

After a month of gilding, it was time for Anjie to go to the Asian Championships to see how the training was doing.

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

When Chinese fans learned that An Jie had been recruited into the national team, they did not react much. Because of this basketball player who is a household name in China, being selected for the national team is almost a sure thing.

As soon as An Jie got off the plane, he was warmly received by the staff of the Basketball Association. That night in Tianjin, An Jie was sent to a very "political" dinner with those officials of the Basketball Association.

After all, this is An Jie's first contact with this system, and the officials have also taken the opportunity to show their faces in front of An Jie and play prestige.

This kind of dinner made An Jie very uncomfortable, but he knew that this was the current situation of the Basketball Association. Anjie can only endure and adapt, and cannot complain.

The various shady scenes of the Basketball Association, Moslav told An Jie a lot, but An Jie was unwilling to get close or touch. He just wants to do his part so as not to be caught. After all, the temptation to serve the country is something that most people cannot refuse.

The next day, August 1, An Jie came to the training base with a bunch of small souvenirs bought from Houston. Having a good relationship with the players of the national team is also an indispensable part of survival here, you see that after Yao Ming expressed his dissatisfaction with Battle in 04, can you still see Battle in the national team?

Although on the surface, Gong Luming encouraged the players to give up "personal grudges", and even arranged for "old enemies" to stay together. But the problem of the system is not something that can be changed by a little trouble with him.

But fortunately, with the strong support of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi, An Jie was not snubbed and excluded. Although he played well in the NBA and won the best rookie, the young An Jie is still very modest, which also makes those national team "big brothers" very satisfied.

"It's good to get used to it, in fact, we are not as unbearable as the outside says." Wang Zhizhi, the leader of the national team's locker room, continued to help An Jie solve problems. Although An Jie is very young and is selected for the national team for the first time, Wang Zhizhi knows that An Jie will take Yao Ming's place, and he will be the key to whether the Chinese team can win the championship.

In addition to the fact that there is no problem with interpersonal relationships, An Jie's speed of adapting to Guo Shiqiang's tactics is also very fast. Anjie may be one of the most game-reading centers in the NBA league, and Ricard has already helped Guo Shiqiang train his problems at the tactical level. After all, the foundation of the college days, there is no problem for Anjie to adapt to an unfamiliar team.

Everything is on the right track, and after more than three months of rest, Anjie's competitive state will be revealed in Tianjin soon!

On August 6, Group C of the group stage of the Men's Basketball Asian Championships, China's match against India, will be the first time An Jie will wear the national jersey and play for the country!

The tickets have long been snatched up, just waiting for the Oriental Tower to continue to bloom on the land of their own country! (To be continued.) )
