Chapter 605: Privileged Player

The banquet held at the manor was extravagant afterwards, and it was no different from the weddings held by the nobles in the past. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The huge manor lawn is full of food and wine, and Anjie even spent a lot of money to invite the famous rapper JAY-Z to help out.

Of course, how could the "Jazz Queen" Norah Jones be absent in such a sweet moment?

Originally, Anjie planned to pay Norah Jones a considerable appearance fee just like hiring JAY-Z. But this woman didn't ask An Jie for a penny, because it was a great honor for her to have such two couples getting closer and closer because of their music.

Famous singers, international celebrity chefs, well-known hosts, countless flowers...... An Jie has spent a lot of money for this wedding.

Such a good wedding, of course, there are many people who come to attend. In addition to the full staff of the Trail Blazers, most of Anjie's teammates during his time with the Thunder also arrived.

Westbrook, Morris and Durant naturally needless to say, these three people must not be absent.

Thunder coach Jeff Van Gundy was also on the scene, and of course, he is already the "former" Thunder coach. Van Gundy has made up his mind, and no one can change it.

At the wedding, Van Gundy also talked a lot with his beloved. Van Gundy is truly honored to coach two fantastic big men from China.

Speaking of Chinese big men, Yao Ming's family also came thousands of miles to attend An Jie's wedding. As the guide of Chinese basketball players, as An Jie's mentor and friend, Yao Ming certainly can't refuse An Jie's invitation.

Olajuwon also had a lot of fun at the wedding scene, and he and An Jie can be said to have achieved each other. Anjie restored the glory of the crumbling Olajuwon training camp, and Olajuwon helped Anjie take it to the next level.

If Divac and Ricard trained Anjie into an elite, then Olajuwon's role is to make this elite reach the pinnacle and become a legend!

Kobito sent gifts and blessings, if it weren't for the fact that "Black Mamba" is now recuperating from his injuries, there would have been one more heavyweight on the scene.

In addition to athletes, many celebrities from other fields were also on the scene. A group of "leading groups" led by the mayor of Portland came with their children. Although An Jie is not interested in politics, he still welcomes the arrival of these bigwigs.

Moslav was warmly received by Anjie, and although Moslav was Anjie's manager, in fact, the relationship between Moslav and Anjie went beyond the traditional sense of employment.

They are more like partners, a pair of partners who absolutely trust each other and are willing to leave their backs to each other.

Outside the manor, countless reporters wanted to go in and shoot. It's just a pity that the private security guards repeated over and over again: "It's just a private party, journalists are not welcome, please go back." ”

Although a few slick guys secretly took a few photos of the wedding scene through other means, these photos didn't have any negative information at all other than to shock people.

With so many big names coming together, it was a fantastic scene.

The party continued until late in the evening, when Lillard and Iguodala dragged a drunken Aldridge away.

Of course, Morris, the guy who was happy for Anjie from the bottom of his heart, drank enough. Unlike Aldridge, Aldridge can at least go, while Morris is directly unconscious.

An Jie and Catherine's happiest day is finally over, of course, after getting married, maybe the life of the two of them will be sweeter and sweeter? This short happiness of this day is just the beginning of another longer happiness.

After the wedding, Angel and Catherine couldn't have a relaxing honeymoon like the other couples. In the month before the wedding, Anjie and Catherine were on their honeymoon.

After a day of rest, Anjie flew directly to the Philippines with his wife. On August 1, the 2013 Men's Basketball Asian Championship will start, and An Jie, as this year's NBA champion, also enjoys privileges.

He doesn't have to train with the national team for more than a month, but just go to the national team to report a few days before the start of the game.

Within the Basketball Association, the matter ushered in a large-scale heated quarrel. In any case, the Asian Championships is also a major competition that China particularly values. In this kind of large-scale competition, the star of the Chinese team only cares about eating, drinking and having fun while others train, which some officials find incredible.

But there are also some who feel that for humanitarian reasons, An Jie and his wife's wedding cannot be interrupted because of the national team mission. What's more, An Jie has the strength to win double MVPs in the NBA, such a player, even if he doesn't train with the national team, can kill all sides in the Asian Championships.

In the end, Anjie's decision to take a vacation won the favor of more people. If you want to talk about An Jie's status in the Chinese basketball world, it is definitely not as good as Yao Ming. Yao Ming is already the most important part of Chinese basketball history, and now An Jie can't surpass him, and no one will be able to surpass him in the future.

The changes that Yao Ming has brought to Chinese basketball are more valuable than championships. Without him, the NBA and basketball would not have been able to develop so rapidly in China.

But in terms of strength, the current An Jie can be said to have surpassed Yao Ming back then. So the Basketball Association has confidence in him, a superstar who defeated the Heat Big Three in the NBA, can still be planted in the Asian Championships?

It is precisely because of this consideration that Anjie has been granted this privilege. Yi Jianlian's training in the United States could only join the national team a week late, while An Jie finally joined the national team a few days before the start of the game.

On the first day of training, An Jie received sincere blessings from his teammates in the national team. Although he has only met with this group of compatriots a few times a year, the actions of the national team players still made An Jie find a sense of belonging.

The sense of belonging to a team has a significant impact on a player's performance. Only if Anjie treats the national team as his own team, he will do his best for this team.

There is another reason why An Jie has to work hard, that is, Wang Zhizhi's age. If nothing else, this will be the last Asian Championships trip of Wang Zhizhi's career. For this highly respected veteran, An Jie is very respectful. Therefore, he didn't want the soul of the Chinese team to leave regrets.

Even with the addition of the NBA double FMVP, some fans and experts are still not very optimistic about the Chinese team. The reason is very simple, An Jie has only been training with the national team for two days. In two days, I couldn't practice anything. Anjie is likely to be at a loss for the national team and not even as good as he is in the NBA.

On August 1, the opening game of the 2013 Men's Basketball Asian Championship, China played against South Korea. In this game, An Jie proved with his own practical actions that in the face of a large gap in strength, basketball can really become a one-person sport.

Indeed, An Jie is very unfamiliar with the cooperation with his teammates on the field, and he is also very unsuitable for tactics. But this guy can use all kinds of unreasonable ways to ravage the inside line of the South Korean team again and again.

An Jie felt that he was playing even more easily than the team training, and the Korean players would just drop out several steps after being lightly pushed by An Jie.

As for the defensive end, An Jie broke the South Korean's heart with 6 blocks. It's the same Asian, and it's the same team that has won the Asian Championship. But at this moment, the gap between the players of the two teams is simply heaven and earth.

77-59, An Jie only played three and a half quarters to help the Chinese team easily win.

With 33 points, 15 rebounds, 6 blocks and 7 assists, Anjie's stats would have been even more exaggerated if it weren't for the fact that FIBA had two minutes less than the NBA in every quarter.

In an instant, all doubts and doubts were broken. Anjie will be at a loss at the Asian Championships?

Although he came with Catherine, An Jie didn't run out with Catherine at night. The Philippines is a touristy country, but Anjie doesn't want to take such an international competition lightly.

He strictly followed the team's schedule and rules and regulations, and did not put on a big show of double MVP at all. So in the team, the players and An Jie get along very happily.

So it's no exaggeration to say that he's a natural leader. This guy can always make the locker room atmosphere very harmonious, and a harmonious locker room will also greatly improve the team's combat effectiveness.

In the group stage, the Chinese team qualified with a winning record. An Jie's crazy performance made the Chinese team soar. The most terrifying thing is that An Jie doesn't seem to have shown his full strength yet.

After qualifying, the Chinese team continued to sweep Chinese Taipei, Iran and the host Philippines, and finally easily won the championship and successfully defended the title.

At the award ceremony, An Jie was not the protagonist. He, like everyone else, worshipped Wang Zhizhi under the podium.

Wang Zhizhi held the gold cup in his hand and happily stood on the podium representing the highest honor. The career of the soul of the Chinese team should not have too many regrets.

He averaged 35.7 points per game, 15.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 3.3 blocks. Anjie almost swept the first place in all statistics except for steals, and naturally, he was also selected for the best team and won the final Asian Championship MVP.

The strongest in Asia, this is no longer Anjie's goal. The Asian Championships are just a warm-up for him to defend his NBA championship next season......

Wedding, Champion ..... The summer of 2013 was almost the best summer Anjie had.
