Chapter 518: The Key to Inheriting the Center

The 2013 All-Star Weekend, as always, saw a lot of changes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info david. Stern knows that fans are a little tired of the same way of playing. Making changes that spur spending is the only way to keep fans fresh for All-Star Week.

For example, this year's Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest have all changed from the previous way of players fighting separately to a confrontation between the East and the West. In this way, the taste of competition is stronger, and it will naturally attract more attention from fans.

However, the biggest change in this All-Star Game is not this, but in this era of center decline. Stern finally made up his mind to directly cancel the center position in the All-Star Game vote!

Because the centers in this league who are now eligible to participate in the All-Star Game are becoming more and more rare. Continuing to vote in the center forward position will cause fans to miss out on more good star players. Therefore, the voting is only divided into the front and back courts, which is indeed forced by the general trend.

For example, in the East, this year's starters were stunned and not a center was selected. Chris. Bosh and Kevin. Garnett, the two big forwards, became the interior partner of the Eastern Conference All-Star team. And because of Bosh's injury, the person who replaced him was not another insider, but Rajan. Rondo. In this way, the starting lineup of 3 forwards and 2 defenders can be regarded as a complete implementation of Stern's latest voting policy.

On the western side, thanks to Anjie and Howard, they were able to piece together a lineup with center players. In the end, there was no doubt that Anjie defeated Howard and sat in the starting position of the Western Conference All-Star team. The "happy beast" that everyone loved in the past has become gloomy after arriving at the Lakers. His popularity has also plummeted.

After spending the night with Catherine, Anjie slept until noon. But instead of wearing a suit, he knocked on the door of the room next to him, dressed in a tracksuit.

"Come now!" The sound in the room was loud, and after a few seconds, the door opened.

"How's that, does it feel good?" The person who lives in this room is the Trail Blazers' chief team doctor. The reason why he followed An Jie to Houston was naturally because of An Jie's two fingers.

"It's okay, I almost don't feel pain now, and I move quite freely, it's just ......" An Jie looked at his not very straight fingers and shook his head helplessly.

"I warned you before, it was you who decided to play with an injury." As the doctor spoke, he removed the bandage from An Jie's finger. After careful observation and testing, as well as the results of yesterday's photos. The team doctor can be sure that An Jie's finger has completely healed. An Jie came to him as soon as he got up today, which is also the doctor's meaning.

"Playing with an injury in exchange for a 25-game winning streak? No matter how you think about it, this is a sure deal. As soon as he thought of the record he had set recently, An Jie couldn't help but laugh. It's nothing if the fingers are deformed, as long as you can make a result, it's worth all the cost.

"Alright man, you're a perfectly healthy butcher now." After removing the bandage, the team doctor patted An Jie's shoulder. "At the All-Star Game, show your hand!"

"Wait and see the show, I won't let you come in vain."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Angel took Catherine and Lillard with him to attend the Fan Carnival outside the Toyota Center.

As the ticket king of this NBA All-Star Game, Anjie beat Kobe Bryant in second place and James in third, becoming another popular monster in the league.

While it is true that Chinese fans make up the majority of them, basketball fans in the United States and some Europe have also given their tickets to Anjie. AnJie's influence has long been confined to Portland, not only domestically. He's now the same as any other superstar, and his influence has reached the whole world!

You could find a big man in Germany who wears the center's way of life practicing hard, or you could see a guy in the Trail Blazers' No. 00 jersey wreaking havoc on the hoops on a New York city court.

It is almost impossible to be absent from a fan carnival with a figure of this level. So when An Jie arrived outside the Toyota Center by car, the fans in the black pressure of the entire scene shouted wildly.

Regardless of Sam. How Smith bombarded the media, no matter how angry those who didn't like him were. An Jie is still where he should be at the moment, and he has received the respect he deserves.

Of course, in addition to An Jie, Catherine's appearance in a black slim dress also amazed everyone.

"She really deserves to be the hottest young model in the fashion industry now."

"Oh my God, if only my legs were as long as hers."

The envious voices of countless female fans immediately spread among the crowd.

In the face of An Jie and Catherine's amazing appearance, the photographers are naturally unwilling to let go of any pictures. Originally, Anjie and Catherine didn't appear in public many times together, and it would be a pity if they didn't leave something.

It is because of Angel and Catherine that Lillard and Kelly. The arrival of Irving's two rookies was less sensational.

These two small guards are two of the most high-profile perimeter players in the All-Star Game, and if they hadn't been selected for O'Neal's team, fans might have been able to feast their eyes on a head-to-head battle.

But the cooperation between these two guys is also worth looking forward to. It's just a pity that today, the spotlight will always belong to Angel and Catherine.

At the fan carnival, Anjie did not put on a superstar shelf. He happily participated in the various activities on the scene, and even competed with a street ball player from Oklahoma.

The result of the game was naturally An Jie's complete victory, but An Jie's close personality is something that fans value.

It can be said that through an event, An Jie has circled many fans again. Next time Sam. If Smith wants to make something unfavorable to Anjie, I am afraid that he will have to become a public enemy of the whole people.

Throughout the day, Anjie and Catherine spent their time at the Fan Carnival. And in the evening, An Jie also had an appointment a long time ago. Hakim. Olajuwon, a shrewd guy, must be the person Anjie must meet when he arrives in Houston.

If it weren't for that summer in Houston with Kobe Bryant and Olajuwon, Anjie might not have achieved what he is today.

After the success of Anjie and Kobe, Olajuwon's training camp business is also extremely hot. Now, nine out of ten of the league's named stars have attended Olajuwon's training camp. Among them, there are many super big names like James and Anthony.

Although Olajuwon's willingness to teach Olajuwon was somewhat commercial in it, An Jie also knew very well that Olajuwon's teaching changed him, which is an indisputable fact.

This night, Anjie and Olajuwon talked a lot. Of course, their topic is inseparable from one word - Center.

"I was really angry at the time, how to say that the center is also a position that once dominated the league. Now the All-Star vote said that it was canceled, and no one was asked for their opinion. I'm afraid that in the future, the word center will disappear from the dictionary of basketball! When it comes to the All-Star vote to remove the center position, Olajuwon is angry.

"It's okay Hakim, it's the general trend. But as long as I'm in this league for a day, I'm going to let everybody know, center, what it really means. An Jie replied solemnly.

If he had heard that a few years ago, Olajuwon would have laughed out loud. A Chinese who does not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, why dare to represent the position of center forward. A group that so many excellent players in the United States can't support, you can represent it as a Chinese?

But now, Olajuwon feels very relieved after listening to it. Because he knows that An Jie is not talking wildly, but can really do it. He knows that the traditional center will not be lost in this league.

"I just spoke with Deacon Bay yesterday about coming to Houston for this year's All-Star Masters. Truth be told, Ann, you're the biggest thought of our old men. Watching the center gradually withdraw from the stage of history, we feel very uncomfortable. Come on, make a name for yourself! The burden of the glory of the center is all on your shoulders. ”

An Jie suddenly felt that a sense of mission arose. To be honest, among the four former centers, O'Neal and Olajuwon have a better relationship with An Jie, and An Jie doesn't have to continue the so-called honor of this group of guys at all.

But now, Anjie finds herself compelled to do so. He wants to be the best center forward in the world and make the center forward position face up.

The All-Star Game canceled the vote for the center position, and this time the vote king happened to be the center. This has begun to contradict each other. Perhaps, Anjie can really make the center forward position glorious again with his own strength?

He's already done so much that it's impossible, and one more is okay.

At tonight's dinner, without anyone knowing, Olajuwon handed over the ancient key that belonged to the center to An Jie.

Anjie carries greater responsibility and glory and is back on the road.

Justifying the center? Let's start with the All-Star Game!
