The Way of the Center - Chapter 816
In the summer of 2008, that was the first time Anjie met Westbrook. This very strong and resolute guard left a deep impression on An Jie when he came out.
Westbrook, who was studying at that time, was already a super star of ncaa. With his abnormal physical quality, few people in the college league can compete with it.
However, An Jie’s performance made everyone fall through. This guy not only guarded the top star Kevin Love, but also made Westbrook suffer.
In the era when the college league was dominated by outside players, the appearance of Anjie undoubtedly made many people shine. Although the Tornado team eventually lost the game and was eliminated. But the story of Anjie and Westbrook has just begun.
After entering the league, the two became teammates by mistake. Coupled with the already emerging Kevin Durant, the Thunder formed the “Three Thunder” that shocked the league. It’s really hard to imagine that the three guys in the top three scoring lists were playing for a team. However, what is even more unimaginable is that these three guys didn’t even play in the finals.
No one knows how many championships the Thunder can win if the three young players continue to work together. But the NBA didn’t have any if, An Jie’s injury made him the first player to leave the Thunder.
In the first season after joining the Trail Blazers, Anjie met his former club, the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals.
This game is for Anjie, just like when he played against Westbrook during the ncaa period. It was the ultimate matchup where I won and went on and lost my home.
But An Jie didn’t expect that the result of the game would be the same as it was then. The Trail Blazers lost. Although they fought to the last minute, the Trail Blazers were not a strong lineup, but they couldn’t help Anjie go further.
That was the second time Anjie met Westbrook in an important match, and it was also the second time Anjie lost to Westbrook.
In the following years, the Thunder and the Trail Blazers never met again in the playoffs. The careers of Anjie and Westbrook have also changed dramatically.
Westbrook, who was the first to enter the finals, has not tried the taste of a championship until now. The departure of Durant and others made Westbrook more heartbroken.
After being eliminated by the Thunder that year, An Jie created a dynasty miracle. After that, Westbrook, who was fighting alone, and An Jie, who had lost a large number of helpers, spent two years of immersion. It wasn’t until this season that the Thunder and the Trail Blazers, Angel and Westbrook, returned to people’s field of vision again.
Last summer, the Trail Blazers got two good friends of Anjie, Morris and Paul George. After losing Durant, the Thunder finally welcomed Anthony to join.
Judging from the results of the regular season, the Trail Blazers and the Thunder have made considerable progress. The addition of Anthony will undoubtedly greatly increase the strength of the Thunder after the loss of Durant. As for the Blazers, Anjie is also ready for the second three consecutive championships.
Just when the two teams passed the first round and were ready to move on, fate once again brought Angel and Westbrook together.
“What are you looking at?” Seeing Anjie got up, Catherine had been sitting on the sofa holding a picture frame in a daze, so she leaned forward curiously.
“Oh, nothing, I’m a little lost, hehe.” An Jie smiled, put down the photo frame, and started to wash in the toilet.
Catherine picked up the photo frame. Inside, was An Jie’s set-up photo of the Thunder’s three young masters during his rookie season.
Two consecutive important games were defeated by Westbrook, this time, Anjie would definitely want to win.
Catherine knew that the friendship between men is a very wonderful thing. Privately, the better the relationship between him and Westbrook, the harder the two guys will work and the more eager to beat each other during the game.
She put the photo frame back in place and wiped the dust off the photo frame. Compared to the previous year, this alliance has become very different. This time I run into Westbrook again, and Anjie will not fail!

“This guy is crazy.” During the break, Anthony looked at Westbrook who was still running on the court and couldn’t help but smile.
Westbrook’s state seems to have been transferred to the top, as long as the mention of Anjie and the Blazers, this guy will be as excited as crazy.
No, although the training has now come to an end, everyone is exhausted. But only Westbrook did not let himself stop for a moment.
“Hey, Russell, save your energy for tomorrow’s game.” Anthony yelled and joked with Westbrook.
“Don’t worry, Cameron, my strength can’t be used up!” Westbrook finished, and he suddenly stopped while running wildly and jumped high. A beautiful emergency stop jumper, hit again!
Thunder coach Billy Donovan shook his head. When the Thunder had Westbrook in this state, they rarely lost.
Now even his coach is a little bit looking forward to tomorrow’s game. This Thunder is definitely capable and the Trailblazers who have lost Lillard have a grip!
Anjie and Moda Center, get ready for the shock!

“Are you here?” After An Jie changed his jersey, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message.
“I’m in the dressing room, buddy, your dressing room has been renovated again? It’s getting more and more luxurious.” After a while, An Jie received Westbrook’s reply.
“Of course, the Blazers are also a dynasty team.”
“Don’t be proud, buddy, that was once.”
“Okay, don’t play tricks, see you on the court!”
“See you on the field!”
An Jie put away the phone and got up from his seat. He looked down at Nike’s brand new jersey and jumped excitedly twice.
“That kid Russell is here.” Next to Anjie is Morris, who also has a good relationship with Westbrook.
“Yes, here it is! Let’s go Morris, let’s go out to meet him!” An Jie finished speaking and pushed open the locker room door. He and Morris became the first two Blazers players to warm up.
When these two guys walked out of the player channel, Westbrook just appeared. The three looked at each other, and the next second, they all laughed happily.
“Fuck, big bull, how do I feel that you have changed again!”
“The little Sabonis next to you is too thin,” Morris said, opening his arms. The three of them hugged each other tightly. At this moment, they are not rivals, but brothers!
“How is the preparation for the game? How about your good helper?” An Jie looked around, but didn’t find Anthony.
“The King of New York is still changing his clothes, don’t worry, my good helper and I kicked your ass!” Westbrook said, reaching out with a pair of fists and hitting Anjie and Morris. chest.
“The tone is really good! If you have the ability, you can try it and call your King of New York together!”
“I will, Ann! Just wait for George to collect your body!”
“Then, I won’t be polite later.”
“me too!”
After speaking, the three turned and left. Westbrook closed his eyes and took a deep breath. This is the third time he and Anjie have met in an important match. He won the first two times. I hope that today, God is still on his side.
Fans started pouring into the stadium, and now the shouts are getting louder and louder. The players from both sides have all played, and the warm-up has officially begun. Ricard and Donovan are also on the bench ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ ready for final deployment.
Everything needed for the war is ready. Now, just waiting for a whistle from the referee, Angel and Westbrook will present a wonderful match for the fans.
Having reached this point, An Jie will not be soft on whoever it is.
Whether it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the King of New York, in Portland, the Dark Knight will destroy everything with his own hands!
“All come back!”
“Come here, let’s make the final deployment!”
The coaches of both sides shouted in unison, and the players of the two teams began to gather towards the bench.
Three referees on duty stood on the sidelines, one of which was holding the game ball, ready to start the game at any time.
Anjie and Westbrook both put away their smiles. From now on, the war has broken out in full!
No matter how good brothers they are, in the face of war, there are only cold blood and killing!
