The Way of the Center

When the game ended, Catherine rushed out of the luxury box with An Xiang in her arms, and ran to the court.

This little guy who is less than one year old doesn't know why his mother is so impatient, and there are tears in his eyes.

The picture of Anjie kissing the hardwood floor of the Moda Center was sent to the whole world through countless cameras. His tears couldn't stop flowing out, but this time, An Jie didn't think it was a shame to cry in front of the camera.

"Ann!" In the crowd, An Jie heard Catherine shouting.

Looking in the direction of the sound, An Jie saw his wife and son.

An Jie immediately pushed aside the densely packed reporters and ran to Catherine. Without saying a word, An Jie put one arm around Catherine's waist, and kissed her in full view.

At this time, all the reporters kept a distance from An Jie and Catherine. After all, there is no Jean willing to interrupt this happy moment.

"Come on son, Dad will show you, this is the place where I created my dynasty!" After An Jie finished speaking, he lifted An Xiang up and put it on his neck.

An Xiang rode on his father's neck with a confused look on his face, just thought it was fun. It feels really good to have so many uncles and aunts holding machines that he doesn't know about facing him under his nose. This kid still doesn't know what a great achievement his father has accomplished on this land!

"Three consecutive championships! Three consecutive championships! Anjie, this incredible guy, he really accomplished the great cause of three consecutive championships! This is the first combination that can create a dynasty in the NBA after the OK combination from 2000 to 2002 People! Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell...Listen to these names, listen to these names that have created a dynasty! Now, Anjie this The name will be on par with them! At the same time, let us also congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers. They are the fourth team in NBA history that can create a dynasty! This team has taken a big step towards becoming a giant! "Mike Breen danced excitedly behind the commentary stand. Since he started working as a basketball commentator in 1983, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the Bulls and Lakers dynasties.

Between the Bulls dynasty and the Lakers dynasty, the interval is only a short one year. He didn't expect that so many years had passed by the time another dynasty rose.

From 2002 to 2015, in 13 years, how many players came and went, and how many championships have been changed. But the appearance of a Chinese changed everything. Mike Breen counts himself lucky to have been able to witness the birth of a dynasty four times in his limited career.

Mike Brin finished yelling,

He turned his head and looked at his commentator partner Jeff Van Gundy. To Mike Brin's surprise, his partner was wiping the corners of his eyes with paper. This guy actually cried?

At this moment, Jeff Van Gundy is no longer a neutral commentator. Now he is An Jie's coach, An Jie's mentor after entering the NBA, and An Jie's friend. He switched from the coaching bench to behind the scenes, and he changed from a workaholic to a more concerned family.

And that youthful An Jie back then has also changed. He went from a rookie who just entered the league to a confused young man who lost confidence in life after being reimbursed for one season. Become the ruler of this brutal alliance and the builder of yet another dynasty!

Watching time turn everything into what it is now, Jeff Van Gundy is really happy for An Jie from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, when all the TV commentators were yelling, only Jeff Van Gundy was silent. Now he just wants to recall this time well and enjoy this championship moment.

"If you polish it, that skinny kid will be a great player!" Jeff Van Gundy remembered the night many years ago when he watched Anjie play for the first time in the stands of the Chesapeake Energy Arena The feeling in my heart.

My own feeling is really accurate...

It took a long time for the crazy scene to calm down a bit, and the stadium staff immediately appeared on the stage, and they will build a temporary podium for the award ceremony later.

LeBron James in the locker room took out his cell phone and sent two text messages. One for Owen and one for Love.

"We'll be back, come back and win!" That's all for those two texts, after which James boarded the team bus by himself. He put on the earphones in his seat, and what happened next, James didn't want to see or hear anything...

In the stadium, the temporary stage has been set up. The new nba president Adam Silver and Bill Russell took the lead on stage.

Bill Russell looked at the surrounding scene, everything was so familiar. After all, this is the third year in a row that I have presented awards at this place.

"It's you again? I really want to try another person to present the award. You are too tall. It's really hard for my old bones to lift my head up to see you." When An Jie stood beside Russell on the stage, Bill Russell suddenly joked with An Jie.

"Don't worry, Bill, I'm the one who should look up!" An Jie said, shaking hands with Bill Russell.

Afterwards, the players and coaches of the Trail Blazers, as well as important management personnel all took the stage. Adam Silver began to make a speech. He first thanked the Cleveland Cavaliers because they also contributed to the wonderful finals.

Some fans disagreed, the Cavaliers were swept 4-0, and the last two games were big losses. That's it, it's wonderful.

However, Xiao Hua also knows what it means to accept as soon as he sees it. Unlike Mr. Stern, who likes to nag for a long time, Xiao Hua's speeches are often very brief. After a few words, Xiao Hua went straight to the point and started the awards ceremony!

The huge five-star red flag appeared on the podium of the NBA championship for the third consecutive year. According to the usual practice, An Jie will be the first person to take over the O'Brien Cup from Silver.

In other teams, the first to receive the cup is often either the team owner or the team head coach. But in the City of Tearing, only An Jie can enjoy such an honor!

An Jie touched the heavy trophy, smiled happily, and then lifted it over his head!

Immediately, on the ceiling of the Moda Center, a pile of colorful confetti that had been prepared was sprayed down. The fans stood up and cheered with the players on the stage.

"The third year! This is the third year in a row that we have seen An Jie lift the O'Brien Cup while wearing the Chinese flag! He is our pride, and he is our basketball god!" Yu Jia's voice was slurred , because the guy who was commenting on the scene had already burst into tears.

A dynasty belonging to Chinese players, this kind of thing, people didn't even dare to think about it before. But now, An Jie has turned everything into reality!

After a brief carnival, Bill Russell took the microphone. Everyone knows that it's time for the finals mvp awards.

"I don't think I need to mention the name, everyone knows who it is, right? In your words, there is only one mvp in Portland!" Russell finished speaking in an aged voice, and handed the fmvp trophy to Anjie .

Obtained double mvp for three consecutive years, on this record. An Jie is the well-deserved number one!

30.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 5.0 blocks. Anjie's data in the playoffs fully reflects a sentence. In this era, no one can stop Anjie!

After all the ceremonies were over, it came to the most anticipated part of the players. Presumably by now, Nell Orsi must have prepared a box of fine champagne, waiting for the players to spend it to their heart's content.

An Jie rushed into the player tunnel holding two trophies and held back for two days. At this crazy moment, all emotions should explode...

※※※

Old Ivan walked in the empty player tunnel with a mop. Outside, all the headlights of the stadium had been turned off and it was pitch black. Only these labyrinth-like player channels still retain light.

Not to mention how dirty the player tunnel is, there are messy things everywhere. Old Ivan even saw a basketball shoe that no one wanted on the ground just now. To be so drunk, I guess it's that kid Lillard.

Thinking of this, old Ivan shook his head with a smile. The player tunnel is not his work area. His duty is to clean up the locker room, which is destined to be a mess, and keep it in a tidy state until the beginning of next season.

For three consecutive years, old Ivan had to do this kind of drudgery. But he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, he was very happy. After all, this guy is a diehard Trail Blazers fan!

"Oh, this smell, you guys are so fucking crazy!" As soon as the door of the locker room was opened, Old Ivan took the mask and put it on. The locker room smelled of everything, the strong smell of champagne and Gatorade was not very pleasant.

"Tsk tsk, these fine champagnes are wasted." Old Ivan couldn't help remembering that before the start of this season, he had a conversation with An Jie, who came to train in advance, and asked An Jie to leave a bottle of champagne for him if he won the championship again this season. he.

But the old Ivan just made a joke at that time, he was just a cleaner, and An Jie was the hottest star in the entire league and the hero of the entire Portland. How can others really care about themselves?

Old Ivan didn't think much, and began to clean the locker room slowly. When he started to clean An Jie's cabinet, he found that there seemed to be something on An Jie's cabinet.

"Impossible!?" Old Ivan took a closer look! Two bottles of champagne worth nearly 3,000 US dollars were placed in front of my eyes!

In front of the champagne, there was a small note. Old Ivan picked up the note, which seemed to have something written on it.

"I promise you before the start of the season, old Ivan. Two bottles of champagne are here for you. It's hard work to leave this mess to you."

Old Ivan looked at the note and smiled happily. He put the note in his pocket and accepted the two expensive bottles of champagne. In fact, at this moment, champagne is no longer important. Old Ivan was moved by An Jie's actions.

No wonder you guy can become a hero in Portland. See you next season, my dark knight!
