"...Forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty! Okay, An. Take a break, the fifth group of training is completed!" A young man picked up the dumbbells for An Jie.

An Jie was sweating, and continuous strength training was really exhausting. Even though An Jie could play for more than 40 minutes on the basketball court, he still felt a little overwhelmed when facing such high-intensity training.

"How is it, it feels good!" Anjie's old acquaintance, famous trainer Ganner Peterson, smiled and patted Anjie on the back. This guy is much stronger than when the two met for the first time a few years ago.

"It's okay, the whole body is burning! Oh my God, Peterson, you really have new tricks to torture us every year." Anjie joked with this familiar trainer. Although Peterson's requirements were strict and the training intensity was very high. However, the effect was equally obvious.

Last year, Anjie gathered several people to train with him. But this year, Anjie did not want to be disturbed. The reason is very simple. In addition to training this year, Anjie has another more important thing to do.

"Will you practice more tonight?" Peterson saw that An Jie seemed to be tired of him, so he asked casually. In the past few summers, An Jie always practiced more consciously. However, this year, An Jie was like clocking in and getting off work, and he would quickly leave the training hall at the time.

"Tonight? Not tonight. My wife is about to have a baby, so I have to spend more time with her. So, during the day, let's practice more!" After An Jie said that, he walked onto the treadmill again.

Ganna Peterson shook his head. The trait of Anjie, the training crazy guy, did not disappear so easily.

The day's training ended in the soaking of sweat. Ganna Peterson was eating watermelon leisurely, but Anjie was too tired to get up.

"Oh, it's five o'clock, damn it!" But after looking at the watch, the huge guy still forced himself to get up. Even if his whole body was sore, it could not curb An Jie's desire to go home and accompany his family.

"Can you still drive? Otherwise I'll take you there." Seeing that An Jie limped even when he walked, Peterson was really worried.

"It's okay, see you tomorrow, Peterson." An Jie waved his hand and struggled to get into the Rx-7 with a low chassis. Maybe he should change to a bigger car...

After driving for a while, Anjie drove to his home in the wealthy district of Lake Oswag. At the doorstep, a woman in a suit and tie was ringing the doorbell. Seeing the male owner come back, the woman smiled at Anjie slightly.

"What a coincidence, Mr. An."

"Hello, Dr. Wanida." Anjie nodded to the lady.

"Have the day's training over? I think you're in good health, but sometimes don't be too tired."

"Thank you for your reminder." An Jie opened the door of the villa and the two walked in slowly.

The lady who walked into the yard with Angel was the private doctor hired by Angel specifically for Catherine. Before Catherine gave birth to a child, she would be fully responsible for Catherine's physical health.

The two walked through the courtyard together and came to the living room. Inside, Catherine was helping prepare dinner. In fact, with Anjie's parents and a bearded man, Catherine didn't have to do any housework at all. But this naughty little girl was always idle.

"I'm back, my dear!" Anjie's shouting was like a remote control, causing Catherine to run to the doorstep.

"Hey baby, how are you doing today?" Catherine did not shy away from the doctor standing aside and hugged her husband who was returning home. The doctor did not feel embarrassed. This kind of thing is very common in American families.

“Very good, the training went very well.”

"Why don't you ask Mr. Peterson to come to your house for dinner?"

"Maybe next time, I'm walking too fast today. Hey, Dr. Wanida is here too. You go and lie down and have a checkup first." An Jie turned sideways and let the doctor who had been standing at the door for a long time walk into the room. Catherine obediently walked into his bedroom.

After closing the door, the doctor began to check on Catherine inside. Anjie dragged his tired body and sat on the sand. His life was really changing.

In the past few summers, An Jie was either training wildly or having fun wildly. But now, he returns home from 9 to 5 every day and lives a normal life.

However, what surprised Anjie was that such days actually gave him a strong sense of happiness. Perhaps it had been too long and too long since he left this ordinary life.

After a while, Catherine and the doctor walked out of the room. The doctor reported to An Jie's family about Catherine's physical condition. In summary, everything was normal.

After seeing the doctor off, the family sat together for dinner. Anjie's mother stewed a lot of great things for Catherine. Of course, the bearded man did not forget to make some American nutritious meals for Anjie.

The family talks and laughs and is having fun. Life at the age of 25 is really different...

In this dull rhythm, time passed 30 days and came July 28. For others, July 28 was just an ordinary day. But for Anjie, today is the anniversary of his first marriage with Catherine.

At this moment, the Angels and his wife have arrived in the UK to start their romantic journey on their anniversary.

Because Catherine is big, Anjie did not take her to a place like the beach. This place in the UK where you can feel the strong foreign culture without having to let Catherine be too stimulated is undoubtedly the best choice.

As we all know, in the UK, football is the life of people. Basketball is just a niche sport in this place. Therefore, even if Anjie swaggers on the street, few people will come to harass him.

Firstly, the national quality here is high, and pedestrians will not easily disturb others. Secondly, basketball has a limited influence in the UK. However, it is precisely because of this that Anjie's travel is more perfect.

On July 28, Angel took Catherine to the London Eye, and at a glance from the banks of the Thames, he admired the beautiful night view of the whole of London.

The two took a sweet photo in London's eyes, and the first year after marriage passed by peacefully.

When Catherine uploaded this selfie to Facebook, the entire social media exploded instantly. Countless people sent blessings to Angel and Catherine, and they both became one of the model couples in the public circle of characters.

After playing in the UK for a week, Angel took Catherine back to Portland. Catherine continued to wait for childbirth, while Angel continued his second stage of training.

At this time, at home, the new Chinese national team has been assembled and ready for training. Although An Jie will postpone the round with the team, this does not mean that he can be lazy.

Although they work hard in different places, Anjie's seriousness is no worse than that of the national teammates.

On August 19, eleven days before the opening of the Spanish Men's Basketball World Cup, Anjie boarded the plane back home and prepared to officially start his international tour.

Before leaving, Anjie and Catherine were reluctant to part with each other. Although they had been together for several months, the couple still couldn't bear to part with each other. Their solid relationship was envious of many people.

With his "martial arts", An Jie once again entered his motherland. During the ten-day training session, I hope An Jie and this brand new national team can be successfully integrated...

"Try harder and harder! You are like this! How do you perform in the international arena? Not to mention showing it in the world, when An Jie comes, you have to read your jokes!" A middle-aged man with gray head clapped his hands and shouted loudly in the training base of Beilun Chinese Men's Basketball Team in Ningbo.

On the basketball court, more than a dozen young men are running hard. They are the players who will represent China in the World Cup this year. Compared to last year's Asian Cup, most of them are new faces.

Chinese basketball is an upgrade, which is something that has no choice but to do. As Wang Zhizhi withdrew from the national team, Zhu Fangyu and others are also older. This year, most of the people who enter the national team are fresh blood. A large number of young players enter the national team, making this team look very different from the past.

Therefore, the saying of a "brand new national team" is not a metaphor, but a fact.

"Guide Gong, An Jie is here." Just as everyone was training in full swing, a team coach wearing glasses walked to the middle-aged man who had just shouted.

"Well, ask him to come in first and say hello to everyone before changing his clothes." The middle-aged man was a little nervous. He himself was one of the representatives of Chinese basketball. But in history, no Chinese basketball player could reach An Jie's height. This was the first time he would be nervous about the arrival of a player. Because the one who was about to appear in front of him was the greatest basketball player in China!

"Is that here?" As the loud voice sounded, a strong and tall black shadow slowly walked up. The players training on the court stopped their hands after hearing the sound and looked in the direction where the sound came out.

"Oh my God!" The middle-aged man's heartbeats. This guy can bring a huge sense of oppression just by getting close to you!

An Jie walked into the training ground and appeared in front of everyone.

“Wow~”

"Oh my God, I finally saw the real person!"

"That's so fucking strong! It's even stronger than it looks on TV!"

On the court, the young players immediately started to discuss. After all, most of these people saw a "living" Anjie for the first time.

The middle-aged man looked up and down at the smiling young man in front of him. He was very sunny, energetic and had no airs. So he took the lead in stretching out his hand. "Hello, Anjie. I am Gong Luming, the current coach of the Chinese national team, welcome you home!"

Gong Luming used the word "going home" to touch An Jie a lot. What players who have been playing outside all year round are most afraid of being excluded after returning to the national team, but Gong Luming successfully resolved An Jie's troubles with just one word.

"Hehe, coach Gong, hello everyone. Let's do a big fight on the stage of the World Cup!" An Jie shook hands with Gong Luming while waving his fists.
Chapter completed!
