Chapter 606: Summer Style Painting...

On August 11, the 2013 Fiba Men's Basketball Asian Championship officially came to an end. At the final award ceremony, the trophy that represents the highest level of Asian basketball, and the sphere on the trophy fell awkwardly.

This may be the first time in the history of professional sports that a trophy was damaged during awards.

But under the optimistic and positive celebration of Chinese men's basketball players, the embarrassment of the damage to the trophy was instantly swept away. Here, only fans and players worship Wang Zhizhi, and only the joy after the victory.

"An, is there any difference between winning the NBA championship and leading the team to win the Asian Championship?" After the game, Anjie was blocked by reporters at the entrance of the player passage as always. In the Asian Championship where stars are seriously scarce, Anjie is undoubtedly the biggest goal of all basketball reporters.

"Both trophys are champions, and both trophys are hard-won. I won't say which of these two champions is better. I just think that the process of winning the two championships has made my career richer and brighter!" An Jie smiled and answered the reporter's questions. He did not seem to have no choice but to ignore everything in the Asian Championships because of winning the NBA championship.

Of course, An Jie has to take it seriously, otherwise the Basketball Association will not be able to give An Jie a green light. If others give you more relaxed policies, you will have to give the other party greater rewards.

And an Asian Championship champion trophy was enough to make those Basketball Association officials disappear into Anjie's life for a while.

On the night of the championship, the national team disbanded on the spot. On that day, the rest of the national team went out to celebrate in groups of three or three, except An Jie, Wang Zhizhi and Katherine, who had dinner together alone.

"Happy wedding Anjie, the national team was during the training session on the day you got married, so I couldn't go to the scene to bless you. Today, I will take this opportunity to make up." Wang Zhizhi happily raised his wine glass, and Anjie did not refuse. If you want to say who Anjie is most impressed by this national team, this person is not Yi Jianlian, but Wang Zhizhi!

An Jie will never forget Wang Zhizhi's care for him, the younger brother. If it weren't for Wang Zhizhi, perhaps An Jie would not be so harmonious with the other people in the national team. This is not to say that Yi Jianlian is not good, but Wang Zhizhi did a great job in this regard.

With a rough blushing face, she drank the red wine in her glass in one sip. Catherine couldn't understand what the two men were saying, so she just wanted to add wine.

In the end, Wang Zhizhi felt a little embarrassed. He invited An Jie to visit his house, but An Jie politely refused on the grounds that time was too tight.

"Oh, that's right. You young people are indeed not as leisurely as us. Work hard abroad. Now Yaoyao is gone, and I probably won't be able to play in a year or two. At that time, this national team will be with you and Alien. If you are used to staying outside, don't forget to come back to develop your own basketball career in the motherland." Finally, Wang Zhizhi stared at An Jie with a serious expression. It was obvious that Wang Zhizhi hoped to hand over the banner of the leader to An Jie.

"Don't worry, roughly, don't think so much about the future, leave it to us!" An Jie respectfully clinked with Wang Zhizhi. If it weren't for Wang Zhizhi's past lessons, how could there be Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and now himself?

After a warm and pleasant night in the Philippines, Angel officially left the national team the next day and flew back to Portland with Catherine alone.

After two days of rest in Portland, Anjie and his wife flew to Africa non-stop.

That's right, this time, Anjie went to a place he had never been to, on the African continent.

But this time, Angel and Catherine went to Africa not for a simple trip. If they were just to go out for fun, the two newcomers would not drag their tired bodies to such a distance.

Angel and Catherine went to Africa mainly to participate in the NBA basketball boundless charity event arranged by Meslav for Angel. They will go to a poor orphanage in Africa to bring love to the children.

Walking with the Angels and his wife are also the Pistons' powerful center Greg Monroe, the Bobcats' blue-collar strong man Bismarck Biyonbo, the NBA living fossil "Jets" Terry and the owner of the African land, the "African Mountain" Deakinbe Mutombo.

On the plane, Mutombo and Anjie were having a very speculative chat. Although this old man seemed to be old enough to have a generation gap with Anjie, in fact, the humor of the African mountains is no less than that of O'Neill.

Because Mutombo had a good relationship with Yao Ming, he always had a good impression of An Jie. Two speculative guys sat together, and naturally they couldn't stop talking.

"Yao and I take time to find a place to play basketball every summer. Otherwise, you will come this year too?" As we chatted, the topics of Mutombo and Anjie naturally returned to basketball.

"When is this year? Oh, can I really go to the Rockets training camp?" An Jie joked.

"We will contact you then, but to be honest, Yao and I haven't met a decent opponent for a long time." Uncle Mu deliberately shook his finger. In this pleasant atmosphere, the journey to Africa was not far.

Of course, if An Jie only talks with Uncle Mu, his journey will still seem a bit monotonous. Fortunately, the guy "Jets" Terry, who has won the championship in 11 years, seems to have many common topics with An Jie.

"I said Jason, Old Fish will not play next season. Now the Trail Blazers are missing an experienced all-around defender. How about it? Are you interested in trying to come to Portland? Don't worry, I'll give you the position of the boss of the team." Anjie quipped Terry's attitude. Although the "Jets" are 36 years old, this guy averaged 15 points per game when he was on the Mavericks. He can be said to be a real "old monster". After all, he is as old as him and can play so efficiently. There are so many players in the entire NBA league except Duncan.

Terry is an old man. Although Anjie's words seem to be a joke, he actually knows what Anjie really means. "Hahaha, if the Celtics have no objection, I really hope to join forces with you."

Terry's answer was also very clever when copying the Celtics. If he hadn't had a three-year contract with the Celtics, the Jets might have agreed on the spot. After all, who would have been unable to compete with a championship-level team?

Biyongbo and Monroe can also say a few words to Anjie from time to time, but compared to Terry and Mutombo, the two young insiders here seem much more restrained.

The long flight process finally ended. Angel and Catherine wore sunglasses and arrived at the African continent, the kingdom of the man who shook his fingers.

From the United States to Africa, this route was used to transport slaves hundreds of years ago. But today, this route was used to nurture hope.

Mutombo first took everyone to rest for a day in Africa. The next morning, the group took a 4-hour bus to a poor orphanage in the local mountainous area.

When Angel and Catherine got off the car, the couple's good mood was instantly folded in half. The hardship of this place was even more serious than they thought.

There is a lack of water and food, a simple medical and educational condition. Some children don’t even have decent clothes.

In the past, Angel and Catherine thought that such scenes would only appear on TV. But today, everything these two newcomers witnessed has really hit them with great impact.

The innocent children actively welcomed the arrival of these six tall people and sang a local folk song for An Jie and the others.

Catherine shed tears on the spot, while Anjie and the others had to greet each other with a smile.

The orphanage teacher came out to shake hands with the visitor cordially, especially in front of Mutombo, the teacher seemed to have seen the savior.

Afterwards, the six people had a party with the children. An Jie used to be unscrupulous about charity, but this trip completely changed his views.

In the end, the five brought 50 computers to the orphanage and donated money to build various infrastructure. Of course, they also allocated funds for these children to build two concrete basketball courts.

God knows, is there a second Mutombo among these kids?

"You have a lot of feelings." On the way back to the hotel, Mutombo suddenly asked Anjie.

Looking at the yellow sand outside the car window and the bare mountains, Anjie really didn't know how to answer. But at least now, he finally knew why Mutombo and Yao Ming were so fond of charity.

He has made enough money, and the $10 million spent on his wedding is not painful to Angel. This guy is not Mike Tyson, nor Anthony Walker.

As a Chinese man who receives traditional education, it is not easy to squander the worth of hundreds of millions of dollars in a few years.

In this case, An Jie decided to spend some of his savings every year in the future and devote himself to charity.

Although Anjie's insignificant efforts will not change the world too much, even so, it cannot be an excuse for Anjie to sit idly.

The heavy day finally ended. In the last few days in Africa, Mutombo took everyone to visit the wildlife reserve in Africa. There, Anjie saw the real shots of the "Animal World" program when he was studying in China for the first time.

Catherine naturally feasted her eyes. The two of them had the most fun playing games on the sightseeing bus.

It seems that Meslav’s arrangement is indeed correct. Who said that work and honeymoon cannot be carried out at the same time? No, Meslav did all this.

When Angel returned to Portland with a more mature mind and a more tired body, it was already the end of August.

At the end of August, this means that there are only two months left before the start of the NBA new season. The most relaxing part of Anjie's holiday is about to end.

Summer special training, business activities, and team operations until the NBA pre-match training camp opened. In the remaining September and October, Anjie devoted himself to the basketball career.

Can you indulge yourself after you get a championship? No, that's just the way for the weak.

Keep working hard and keep getting stronger. An O'Brien Cup cannot satisfy the appetite of An Jie, a competitive person.

Two consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, and four consecutive championships? As long as you can win, Anjie will continue to work hard!
