The way of the center

Chapter 97 All the way up (210)

Also on December 12, another Chinese player, Yao Ming, also played.However, Yao Ming was obviously out of form in this game, and only scored 8 points and 31 rebounds in 14 minutes of playing. Alston's 4 points were already the team's highest score.In the absence of McGrady due to injury, the Rockets lost to the Grizzlies, the bottom of the Western Conference.

Fortunately, Chinese fans have another reason to cheer today.Facing the menacing Dwight Howard, Anjie not only performed well as a rookie, but the Thunder also won the game.

However, after winning the game, An Jie was still in the locker room of the Water House Arena when he received a call from the manager, Mr. Moslav.

"You played well, Ann, keep it up." At the beginning, Moslav first congratulated Anjie for his victory.But An Jie knew that Moslav's purpose of calling was not for this.

"Thank you Mr. Meslav, I always have a hunch that you still have good news to tell me." An Jie asked deliberately.

"The reporter who got you into the scandal of recruiting JI, I have already negotiated with him." Following the clues, after getting rid of Eva Lisa, Moslav easily caught the reporter who made fake news to damage An Jie's image .

"How did he say?"

"Both he and Eva are willing to publicly clarify this matter. Originally, I wanted him to compensate you for mental damage, but it is not easy to see that guy dragging the whole family. Just ask him to publicly apologize to you. ?”

"Of course, that's what I want. I'm lucky to have you as my manager, thank you, Mr. Moslav." An Jie smiled into the phone, the team won again, and the stain was about to be washed away , there have been many good things recently.

"By the way, Ann, in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening again, I think you should buy a house of your own. Of course, transportation is also necessary. It is too dangerous to only rely on bicycles every day." The residence with strong privacy , which is an essential thing for a public figure.Otherwise, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, Meslav can't guarantee that he can solve it perfectly.

"But the team's training is very busy, I really don't have time." An Jie didn't want to waste any 1 minute of training time. After Carlesimo's suppression, An Jie also knew that the starting position was hard-won.

"It's okay, I'll go with you, I guarantee that you can get these two things done in half a day." Moslav will not let Anjie escape like this anymore. Active training is right, but the living environment and material life are good or bad It is also an important factor affecting the player's state.

Seeing Moslav's resolute attitude, An Jie knew that this half day would definitely not be used for training.With no other choice, An Jie had no choice but to agree to his manager's request.

Since the Thunder did not have a game for the next two days, on the night they defeated the Magic, all members of the Thunder returned to Oklahoma City by special plane overnight, so that they would not have to suffer back and forth for the next two days. Get ready for your next home game.

The first thing An Jie did when he woke up the next day was to pick up his phone and turn on the news. Sure enough, the paparazzi reporter named Aiden Fox and the Oklahoma City prostitute Eva Lisa both came forward and clarified the whole situation. The ins and outs of this matter.

It was said in the news that the reporter Fox was in urgent need of a sum of cash because his family was under too much financial pressure, so he came up with such a bad plan to bribe Eva Lisa to create fake news, so as to earn a lot of money by selling photos to various newspapers a fee.

In the news, both Fox and Lisa solemnly apologized to An Jie, and stated that everything has nothing to do with An Jie, he is just an innocent victim.

In this way, An Jie's first scandal after becoming a public figure was calmed down without any risk.

Catherine also looked at today's newspaper happily. There were many explosive headlines on it, but Catherine didn't care.Fox's announcement made up only a small portion of the Ames Times' sports section, but it was Katherine's biggest reason for buying the newspaper.

"Victory on the court, proud of being a man! The Anjie recruiting scandal is pure farce."

"Being framed, the unscrupulous reporter returned An Jie's innocence."

For a while, domestic newspapers also published this news one after another.Originally, An Jie's reputation in China had been mixed, but as soon as the news came out, An Jie once again became a model of good young people.

"If you want me to say that a person like An Jie can definitely become a great player, he can resist the temptation at a young age, and he has not overperformed or affected the state of the game in the face of scandals. This kind of person has requirements for himself both on and off the court. I’m sure you’ll be successful.” A netizen expressed his opinion on the forum, but he didn’t know that he hacked An Jie all over because of An Jie’s recruitment of JI a few days ago.That's the way it is with pro football, one little thing can make the difference between fans hating you or loving you.

Not long after An Jie was happy, he was dragged out by Moslav, looking for his new residence and new car.

At Anjie's request, Moslav accompanied Anjie to the largest Mazda 4S store in Oklahoma City.The clerks saw that it was a Thunder player who came to buy a car, and immediately called a Chinese sales manager to come and entertain him.

"Hello, An Jie, I'm Eric Wang, the sales manager of this 4S store. Do you have an ideal model in mind? Or do you want me to recommend some for you?" The Chinese manager in a suit and leather shoes He was very enthusiastic and communicated with An Jie directly in Chinese, which made An Jie feel a little embarrassed.

The reason why An Jie came directly to Mazda's store to buy a car, of course, was that he already had a goal in mind.

"I don't know if Mazda RX-7 is still on sale here?" An Jie knew that this car was already a very old model. Although there were new models launched all the time, An Jie seldom had them either in the United States or China. See.

"Mr. An's taste is really different. RX-7 is a very old model, and we don't have it in our store for the time being." Eric's answer made An Jie a little disappointed.

"This car is out of production now, and there are very few places for sale. There is only one third-generation RX-7-FD3S in all of Oklahoma City. If you want, I can find someone in 10 minutes Drive this car from the branch and deliver it to you in its entirety." Eric captured the expression on An Jie's face, it seemed that the Thunder player sincerely wanted to buy it, so Eric dared to call Someone shunted the car over.

"Then please contact me as soon as possible, sir." An Jie smiled. Mazda RX-7, this is the car he has dreamed of since he was a child. The first time he saw it on TV, An Jie was fascinated by the strange figure and explosive power of this car. attracted by the performance.Now, his dream is finally coming true.

Sure enough, as Eric said, before 20 minutes had passed, the sound of the unique rotary engine of the RX-7 rang in Anjie's ears.Looking at the door, a brand new pure black third-generation RX-7 was parked in front of An Jie.

"If you want, I can take you for a test drive on the road, so that you can experience the feeling of this car." The manager opened the door for Angela and made a gesture of please.

An Jie was very resistant to buying a car at first, but now, An Jie walked towards the car drooling as if he saw a woman.

After a test drive, An Jie decided not to buy this car!As one of the representatives of Japanese high-performance sports cars, the price of this car is much cheaper than European sports cars.For only $6, Anjie took the car as his own at a very "cheap" price.

"This car...is only $6?" Moslav doesn't know much about cars. To a layman like him, the appearance of this car is very cool, and it's still an authentic sports car.An Jie got a brand new means of transportation for only 6 US dollars, even Moslav couldn't believe the price.

"After all, it's an old model, so it's good if you can buy it." An Jie stroked the steering wheel of his new car in satisfaction.The staff of the Mazda 4S store also re-customized the seat for him, so that Anjie's height can stay comfortable in the car.

Driving their new car, Anjie and Moslav came to the villa area of ​​Oklahoma City in Hansted Hills.Although it is a villa area, most of the people who live here are still ordinary people. After all, the housing prices in the United States are not comparable to those in China. Buying a house in the United States is not as exaggerated as in China.

After driving around Hanste Mountain, Anjie and Moslav decided to buy a small villa with a swimming pool, half an open-air basketball court and a garage in the middle of Hanste Mountain for US$13. What An Jie likes most is the orientation of the floor-to-ceiling windows of this house, which allows An Jie to overlook most of Oklahoma City.

This small house is completely different from the villas of other stars, but it is more than enough for An Jie to live alone.

Moreover, the security here is complete, and all kinds of anti-theft facilities are also perfect. An Jie no longer has to worry about a stranger suddenly jumping out of his yard.

"That's right, this looks a bit like an NBA star." Moslav looked at the result of his and An Jie's busy work all morning with his hands on his hips. There was a huge house standing on the side of the street, and a brand new car was parked next to the garage. black sports car.Compared with the previous red bicycles paired with rental houses, this is obviously much more stylish now.

"I will stay in Oklahoma City for a few more days and ask someone to buy more furniture for you, and move all the things in your old house over as soon as possible." Moslav turned to look at An Jie, but he had already run to his basketball court Going to the court to shoot the basket.

Just when Anjie was content with having a new car and a new home, the Thunder won another victory against the Grizzlies at home on December 12. OJ Mayo was defeated for the second time by the strong combination of Westbrook and Anjie. The young Marc Gasol was also suppressed by Anjie's good state and only scored 11 points.

Durant had 23 points, Westbrook had 15 points, Anjie had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists. The Thunder won the game 108-100 and made another winning streak.However, because Carlesimo dug a big hole for the Thunder in the first month, the Thunder's ranking is still relatively low.

But the season is still long, as long as the team is still on the right path of development, this blue and white lightning bolt of Oklahoma City will surely shine.
