Chapter 54: The first stop
Time flies quickly. In addition to training and interviews every day, Anjie also gathers with everyone from the former Tornado team. Just yesterday, the whole team went to the backyard of Ricard's house for an outdoor barbecue. The rough guys turned the backyard of Ricard's house upside down, and the grilled food was terrible.
Of course, Anjie couldn't forget to spend a good time with Catherine. Although the two were not boyfriend and girlfriend, they knew in their hearts that they would just wait for Anjie to participate in the draft and pierce that layer of paper. Anjie cherished these times very much because the time that could be freely allocated for him was getting less and less.
The wonderful nBa finals finally came to an end under the rollers of time. The competition between the two giants of the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers made fans excited, and the winning of the three Celtics has unknowingly changed the pattern of the future basketball world. The Lakers are not without gains. Paul Gasol's midway joining gave Los Angeles hope. Although they lost to the final, their next season is very exciting. When the o7o8 season games were all over, Anjie began to get busy.
Seeing that the summer vacation was approaching, An Jie had no time to go back to China. From March to now, in addition to being busy with training, the school courses also made him unable to take time to return to China.
If Yi decided to participate in the draft from the beginning, then An Jie wouldn't have to attend the draft. But he decided to participate in the draft midway, so he was uncertain about his future and could not give up his studies. Now that the course is over, he is going to officially start his career.
First, Meslav accompanied Anjie to the president's office of Iowa State University, where they came to submit their application for withdrawal.
The gentle and gentle principal was kind to Anjie and Meslav, and even promised that if Anjie was selected in the first round, he would immediately award Anjie a prize of 20,000 US dollars.
The players participating in the nBa draft are all live advertisements from their alma mater. What's more, no one at Iowa State University has appeared in the first round of the draft for many years, so the president also attaches great importance to this matter.
After dealing with the school affairs, An Jie was about to start his own trial journey. Looking at the team that he was familiar with, An Jie was indescribable and excited.
"So many teams are interested in me." An Jie stared at the long trial list, his saliva was almost flowing to the ground.
"Don't be too happy too early. Whether you can get guaranteed depends on your performance during the trial." In fact, Meslav was very confident in Anjie. He just didn't want this kid to be too excited and lead to abnormal swings.
"Hehe, I know, then where are we going to the first station?"
"Miami." Meslav waved the two air tickets in his hand. "Let's leave tonight and try out tomorrow morning."
Before boarding the plane, Anjie called his parents and told them about his recent itinerary. Anjie's parents proposed to come to the United States to accompany Anjie more than once, but Anjie didn't want to bother them, so they all politely refused.
"Don't worry, mom. No need to do it. I will have free time to return to China in two months. Don't worry. Mr. Meslav is very nice to me, and you don't worry that I will be deceived." The parents in the world are in love.
When Angel and Meslav got on the plane, Angel suddenly saw a very familiar face.
"Angkor!"
"Are you taking this flight?" Wu Hua was also very surprised that he could meet An Jie on the plane.
Since all the conversations between An Jie and Wu Hua were used, Meslav next to him was confused and could not figure out the situation.
"Oh, this is the reporter I mentioned to you, Wu Hua from Sports Pioneer." Anjie saw Meslav's dilemma and quickly introduced it.
"You must be Anjie's manager, I'm very happy to know you." Wu Hua didn't miss this opportunity and immediately stood up and shook hands with Meslav. It would be no harm to have a good relationship with the player's manager.
"It's a good time to meet, and Anjie often mentions your media to me. The increase in Anjie's attention is inseparable from your efforts." Meslav is not the first day to deal with the media, and his conversation is very sophisticated.
"What are you doing in Miami? Angkor?" An Jie and Wu Hua chatted casually like friends. This was a treatment that other media did not have. Because An Jie knew that Wu Hua had clear public and private affairs, he would not write everything into the news, and Wu Hua would not ask questions about interfering with An Jie's private life when he was working. However, in order to prevent Meslav from being embarrassed, they communicated in English throughout the whole process.
"Of course it's for you. The news has spread all the time. Everyone knows that you are going to Miami."
Anjie turned his head and looked at Mr. Meslav. Sure enough, he showed a proud smile. The news really spread from him.
In addition to An Jie and Wu Hua, there were also many Asian-faced guys on this plane. Who knows if they were reporters who came here?
................
The gentle sunshine, golden beaches, beautiful women in bikini, and blue sea, seeing this beautiful scene in Miami can easily make people feel lazy. However, Angel and Meslav don’t have time to appreciate the beauty of Miami. After resting in the hotel for a night, they went to the American Airlines Center Stadium the next day.
"Wow." Looking at the huge gymnasium, An Jie was so shocked that he couldn't speak. nBa just didn't look like that, and the nnetBa team's home court was comparable.
"Let's go, everyone else is waiting in the training ground." Meslav was no longer surprised by these scenes. He urged Anjie to move forward. The damn traffic had already delayed them a lot of time.
When Anjie walked into the training ground, there were already several players on the court who were doing shooting practice.
He went in, and the eyes of the three people standing on the sidelines gathered. An Jie's feet were trembling. These three people who could only see on TV were now standing in front of him.
Miami Heat's new coach Eric Spoelstra, Heat general manager, nBa legend Pat Riley and Miami Heat's soul leader Dwyane Wade.
"Don't be fine, Riley." Meslav shook hands with Riley casually. They seemed to have known each other for a long time.
"This is the child I told you, Angel." Meslav turned his body sideways, so that he would not block the three of them's vision.
"Hello everyone." An Jie didn't know what to say, but he couldn't just say nothing like a fool, so he put this word in a long time.
Riley saw that the Chinese was a little nervous, and he tried to make the atmosphere relaxed. "Well, welcome to Miami, I think we don't need to introduce ourselves."
"Don't be nervous, I'll do as you usually do during training later." Wade also came up and said something to Anjie. Anjie was so excited that he almost asked Wade to sign him.
"Okay, An, go and change your clothes." Meslav accompanied Anjie to the locker room. From now on, he didn't have much to do. Whatever his fate depends on Anjie.
"Don't be nervous, the Heat are not our only choice, there are still many opportunities."
An Jie did not respond, but just nodded slightly. He put on a red jersey from the Tornado team, but the name behind the jersey was "morris".
When Angel came to the basketball court, he found that there were two faces he was very familiar with on the field. They were Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmos. With Angel, these three were arranged to appear on the Heat's training ground the same day. It was just a coincidence that he killed Meslav. No wonder even Wade and Riley were present in the training ground. Such an inspection lineup is enough to show how much the Heat attaches importance to this draft.
The failed season I just experienced made everyone on the Heat unbearable. Since the Sharks left, the Heat have been sluggish. As Wade, the first in the O3yi generation to win the championship, his decadent record is unacceptable.
Mario Chalmos, Michael Beasley and Angel, who can become the Flash's right-hand man? Angel, who is warming up on the field shooting, doesn't know that he has been given such high expectations.
Barefoot height is 2 meters yi6, shoes height is 2 meters yi9, arm span is 2 meters 34, weight is yiyio kg.
"It's too light!" The previous data were all amazing, but when he saw the weight column, Pat Kelly couldn't help frowning. But thinking that Anjie had not fought against the center with large tonnage, he decided to continue to look.
Vertical bounce of 88 cm, body fat 6.7, and 100 meters in length. As a Chinese, and with such a big height, Riley is quite satisfied with Anjie's athletic ability. What's more, this kid is only 9 years old, and these things still have a lot of room to improve.
After reading everyone's data, Pat Riley called Spoelstra. "We will arrange a confrontation training later, and just divide Angel and Beasley into different teams."
Wade next to him nodded happily, and Spoelstra also quickly found someone to arrange it.
Michael Beasley looked at Anjie with not very friendly eyes, and his disdainful expression was full of murderous aura. It was the damn Chinese who made him lose face in his first NCAA game. Forget it, I would like to compete with him for the draft position now? There is no one at all!
An Jie didn't know yet that in the other half, he had been stared at.
Chapter completed!
