Chapter 435: Act as a lobbyist?
"Anjie scored amazing data, and the Olympics are unprecedented, and there may be no one after another!" After the men's basketball team lost, the media naturally wanted to find good aspects to report on it. And Anjie's average of 36.1 points, 15.7 rebounds, 3.4 blocks per game naturally became the focus of media publicity. You should know that the FIBA game was eight minutes less than nBa, so it was completely incredible to score such data. But Anjie completed the incredible again.
However, behind Anjie's level data, the power of the Chinese basketball lineup is also shown. If Anjie had not lacked helpers, he would not have achieved such an exaggerated result. Without being able to help him score, Anjie scored by himself. No one could protect the inside. Anjie fought for rebounds by himself. No one could complete the assisting defense, Anjie blocked himself. Level data? Anjie would rather sacrifice his data in exchange for victory in a few games.
Although his record is not good, An Jie still led the Chinese men's basketball team to the quarterfinals. As a result, Wang Zhizhi's last Olympics did not leave any regrets.
When the national team was disbanded, Wang Zhizhi and An Jie hugged each other tightly at the airport. One of them was about to return home, while the other had to continue to work hard in the United States later with a dream. Wang Zhizhi envied An Jie very much, envied An Jie for being born in an era when the basketball association was willing to open up, envied An Jie for being so young, envious of An Jie for being able to pursue everything he wanted without restraint.
"Come on, work hard, nothing scary! You won't regret it when you reach my age!" Wang Zhizhi patted An Jie on the shoulder and walked into the boarding gate with his national teammates.
Although she only spent less than two months together, An Jie also had a new understanding of Wang Zhizhi. An Jie and this national team also had a closer relationship.
Although An Jie is better, he never hangs himself up, but does his best for this country and this team. Although he was eliminated early in the Olympics, An Jie has gained a lot. Whether it is fame or relationship with domestic players, An Jie has made great progress in all aspects.
In the following days, Anjie accompanied his parents to continue to stay in London to watch the Olympics. Afterwards, Katherine and his father also participated.
Whenever Anjie is on-site, the camera will feature Anjie from time to time. Seeing the two families having fun, the gossip tabloids also made rumors that Anjie and Catherine are about to get married.
Of course, Angel did not completely relax in the UK. Although there was no way to conduct systematic training, Angel never stopped practicing the daily simple ball with the ball. He understood what he wanted next season, and he also understood how much the price he would pay for that goal.
It was not until August 12 that Angel finally ended his trip to England. He also spent a rare time with his family and Katherine in this short period of time.
................
The Thames Tower Bridge is not only a transportation hub in London, but is naturally one of the iconic buildings in London. The scene of Beckham driving a speedboat across the Tower Bridge at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games has even brought the building to a peak passenger flow.
Angel and Catherine are now in a restaurant on the banks of the Thames, and the restaurant is empty because Angel has already booked the entire restaurant.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the Thames River and the Tower Bridge in London in the night. Looking at the beautiful scenery, Catherine couldn't help but hold Anger's hand sitting opposite him.
"I have seen many beautiful scenery, whether it is the Tokyo Tower or the Roman Cathedral, I have been to most famous attractions in the world. But every time I see these scenery, I feel that something is missing, and what makes the scenery in front of me dull. Now I know, I lack you." Catherine's eyes suddenly fell outside the window and Anjie's face. The affectionate look almost suffocated. Catherine, who is now a well-known model, must be more deadly than when she was a student.
"The River Thames is not the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen, but it is my happiest trip. An, it's great to be with you." Catherine's eyes became curved because of her happy smile. Such a pleasant time is so precious to these two couples who actually have to endure a lot of training on the surface.
"If we get married, don't stay away from me anymore, okay?" Anjie stroked Catherine's tender cheeks. After the Olympics, Anjie will also return to the United States to build the Trail Blazers lineup with Orsey. And the only thing Anjie can't let go now is Catherine.
"Of course, I will be a good wife." Catherine's face turned slightly red.
"Hehe, now, I'm just one champion who's going to do the dowry." An Jie didn't know whether it was because he said it would be done or because he was stubborn. He agreed to propose to Catherine after winning the championship. In fact, Catherine didn't care whether An Jie could win the championship. But An Jie seemed to have never won the championship. Then if An Jie had never won the championship in his life...
Catherine shook her head vigorously and swept these ideas out of her head. Anjie will definitely succeed. Catherine knew that Anjie, a guy with an extremely strong heart, would definitely succeed.
During Angel's seasonal reimbursement of injury, Katherine was with Angel every day. She had seen the most vulnerable side of this man with a strong appearance, so she also knew what the most powerful side of this man looked like. Katherine would not have any doubts about Angel's ability. Champion? Angel can definitely do it!
In this warm atmosphere, Angel and Catherine had a delicious dinner on the beautiful river Thames. Of course, how could the two of them missed a night before Angel went on a trip?
................
Katherine and Anjie can be said to be the most prominent couple during the Olympics. News about the relationship between Chinese athletes is common in China, but it is really uncommon to fall in love with a foreigner. So in China, Anjie and Catherine have also become popular topics on the Internet.
Advocating foreign countries to be popular with foreign countries? Enhance friendship between the two countries? Being a match or having a bad horoscope? No matter how people discuss it, these voices will not affect the relationship between Angel and Catherine. Of course, they will not affect the flights from Angel to the United States. The only function of all this news is to increase Angel and Catherine's popularity from another aspect.
When Anjie finally landed in the familiar city of tearing, Anjie suddenly felt his nerves tense. Although there are still two months left before the start of the new season, as long as he stepped into Portland, it means that Anjie's work has begun.
"Iguodala is still on vacation in New York, Lillard is busy training in Los Angeles, and Aldridge is now on the golden beach in Brazil... In short, you and me are the only ones in Portland!" In addition to the stadium staff, there are only Angel and Orsey in the empty Rose Garden Stadium.
"Have we gained something recently?" Since the Olympics started, Anjie has not contacted Orsey again. First, he does not want to affect the Olympic games because of other things, and second, Anjie does not want to be disturbed by work in his few free time.
"At present, we have Lillard and Iguodala, and J.J. Hickson has also been added to the bench. You have played with him. He is another tough inside player. It should be no problem to play substitute for you. Of course, Gerald Wallace and Raymond Felton will both leave, and Cott Thomas, who was signed by the Knicks. By the way, we just lost Jamal Crawford yesterday, and he chose to sign with the Clippers." Orsey briefly introduced the team's operation to Angel. When she heard that Crawford was signed away, Angel still felt a little regretful.
Although Crawford performed unstable, he was indeed the main output point of the Trail Blazers' second team. Losing him would be a big blow to the Trail Blazers.
"Do we have any candidates to add?" An Jie knew that the team's lineup is basically completed, but the substitute lineup is still in chaos. If the Trail Blazers want to win the championship, the lineup is not safe now!
"Yes, yes, but I want you to take action yourself." After saying that, Orsey handed an name to Anjie.
"Are you sure this guy can still play?" An Jie looked at the name. Indeed, if the Trail Blazers want to win the championship, they do need an experienced veteran to stabilize the situation. But this guy is too old.
"If the Thunder hadn't had Fischer last season, they might not have reached the Western Conference Finals at all! He is still unwilling to do so, and he himself has the idea of retiring. But I think it would be useful to have him control the rhythm of our second team." Orsey did not hide his love for Fischer at all. Now he does not ask how many points the elderly Fischer can score. As long as he can bring experience to the team and control the rhythm of the Trail Blazers, this is enough for Orsey.
"I'll talk to Fischer, what else?" Angel also had a good impression of Fischer, but he was also very concerned about Olsey's other plans now.
"It's very difficult for this guy to get him, but judging from his performance last season, I think we should contact him. It's just whether he's willing to come or not is a big question."
"Who?" Anjie looked at this year's free agent list and felt that his head was about to explode. There were not many big names this year, but there were many capable role players. But not everyone is suitable for the Trail Blazers, a maverick team.
"Our former French striker, Nicholas Batum." Orsey stared at Angel seriously. It was indeed difficult for a person who was abandoned to be signed back. But Batum can indeed bring great help to the team.
"You are really confident in my eloquence." An Jie shook his head. There was no way, no matter how difficult it was, he could only try one by one.
