In the past, when An Jie was young, he always wanted others to treat him as an adult.

Because at that time, An Jie felt that only mature men had masculinity and infinite charm. When he was in college, An Jie used to shave his face with a razor, hoping that his smooth face could grow more mature beards. On the basketball court, An Jie always likes to be commented by others that he is very mature in playing. Only those who play maturely can become winners. It would be nice if you had more cool scars on your body. A "mature" man is nothing more than that. And after that...... After that, An Jie became what she is now.

In the first game of the new season, the biggest change in An Jie compared to previous years was the stubble on his face. Although his beard is nowhere near as thick as that of Harden or James, people still see the signs of time in it.

As for the scars...... An Jie has indeed had a lot of injuries, and the knee that was only frightening last season was even said by the media to be a time bomb that would determine whether An Jie's career could go smoothly. After all, I am not as young as I used to be, and I have to recover from an injury as quickly as before.

Those bloody stories are already difficult to excite An Jie. On the contrary, Anjie's own story is inspiring countless young people to work hard for their goals. Wasn't his friend Paul George, who is now on the team, one of the first people to admire Anjie?

As for the rookies selected by the Trail Blazers with the 50th pick in the second round this year, the first thing he did on the first day of training camp was to ask Anjie for an autograph. After all, in the years when An Jie called for wind and rain to create a dynasty, this guy had just entered high school......

An Jie looked at this familiar stadium, year after year, season after season. He is no longer as young as he was back then, but as soon as he steps into this court, the most primitive desire to win in An Jie's blood will urge him to continue fighting.

In the opening game of the 2018-2019 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers played against the Golden State Warriors. Anjie played 35 minutes, scored 22 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, this guy still maintained a super high level, and the Portland Trail Blazers also easily won the first game of the season.

That's right, it's easy. Lillard and George scored 26 and 28 points respectively, and with Anjie's excellent performance, it was almost impossible for the Warriors to win. This summer, although the Trail Blazers' roster has not changed much, Knell Orsi still brought Jordan Clarkson, the sixth man of the year last season but not in the Lakers' long-term plans, and the addition of this guy has also made the Trail Blazers' second team no longer weak.

113-128, the Trail Blazers' big win at the Moda Center stunned the entire league. The Warriors rarely lose, and they rarely lose by such a wide margin. However, the Portland Trail Blazers gave the whole league a dismissal in the first game of the new season.

After the game, what An Jie said in an interview made the reporters even more stunned. "I didn't give it my all because the return of Damien and George took a lot of the pressure off me. On the pitch, we played more easily than we did last season. ”

Didn't try my best and play more easily...... This is Anjie's evaluation of this game. If the Trail Blazers win against the rebuilding Suns or the Nets in this game, that's fine. But today's opponent of the Trail Blazers is the Golden State Warriors with stars such as Curry and Durant.

An Jie's words made many people respect this legend. Of course, it also made many people attack Anjie. The more famous a star is, the easier it is to become a topic of conversation. How many people are still willing to talk about Dwight Howard?

A week later, the Trail Blazers met their opponents in the Finals last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron James is aiming for revenge, but this year, James's body has obviously declined significantly, not to mention Derrick Rose and Wade.

Thomas Jr. was the best performer for the Cavaliers, finishing with 26 points and 10 assists, once again pulling off a miracle with a height of 175. But it was An Jie who won the final game.

An Jie played 33 minutes in this game, scoring 20 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. He's more willing to create chances for Lillard and Paul George on the court than to attack himself.

If you can win in an easy way, why make yourself work so hard? Now, it's not time to fight hard.

120-108, at the Quickloan Center Arena, the Cavaliers' revenge ambitions failed to materialize, and they were won by the Trail Blazers again.

An Jie, who is full of scum, is still dominant, and those who are looking forward to watching An Jie fall from power may have to wait another year.

In this way, the Trail Blazers played the All-Star weekend without a hitch. Anjie was once again voted the top vote, and four of the Trail Blazers' starting five were selected to the All-Star team and three were selected to the All-Star starting lineup. Lillard, Angel and George, all three guys started at the same time, even during All-Star Weekend. Morris, on the other hand, has been an All-Star addiction as a substitute.

After All-Star Weekend, Morris suffered a knee injury and will miss the rest of the regular season. The good news, though, is that Morris can make it to the playoffs.

During Morris' injury, Nurkic played highlight. Not only is this guy's rim-protecting ability not bad at all, but he is also more dangerous than Morris on the offensive end.

Riccard's playbook has since added another option.

In the last game of the regular season, Anjie led the team to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers, who had great potential but were still not yet formed. On this day, Kobe Bryant came to the scene to watch the game. It's a pity that An Jie didn't give this old friend face at all. The Trail Blazers walked away with their 72nd win of the season and entered the playoffs as the league's No. 1 player. And 70 wins in the regular season seems to be very common for the Trail Blazers.

During the playoffs, Morris returned from injury. Ricard now has more options to match Angel with, and the Trail Blazers are even more combative.

In the first two rounds, the Trail Blazers swept the Timberwolves and Clippers respectively. Whether it's the young Downs or the experienced Griffin and Jordan Jr., they don't have anyone who can watch Anjie in the penalty area. Even now An Jie is no longer a young man.

In the Western Conference Finals, facing their old club, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Trail Blazers had some trouble. However, it still eliminated it with an aggregate score of 4-2 and once again dominated the West.

In the NBA Finals, James and his Cavaliers were finally absent after eight years of continuous play. Instead, the Boston Celtics, a veteran powerhouse led by Irving and Hayward.

The Celtics have welcomed Irving's full evolution this season, Hayward's dedication, Horford's maturity, and the growth of Jaylen Brown and Tatum. Their set of starters is no worse than the knights of the year.

Celtics fans are also thrilled to be able to return to the Finals. After all, this is another chance for the Green Shirts to challenge for the championship ten years after winning the Big Three in 2008.

However, Anjie made the dream of Celtic fans stay here forever.

4-1, the Trail Blazers didn't have much effort to kill the still immature Celtics. The Green Shirts do have a lot of potential, but they still have a lot of potential to crush the Trail Blazers. An Jie won the Finals MVP again, although because of the relationship between Lillard and George, An Jie's statistics are not as gorgeous as last year, but his role is still undoubtedly huge.

For the second year in a row, the Trail Blazers and Anjie lifted their fifth NBA championship trophy. This time, even Jordan said that if he was born in Anjie's era, it is very likely that he will not be so great.

In an age of stars and superteams, it's inconceivable to win five championships. The last player to achieve this in the 21st century, Duncan, was only at the end of his career when he finally achieved his dream of five championships. As for An Jie, his career is far from the final stage.

That summer, Portland was once again the happiest city in the world. The championship parade seems to have become a kind of carnival unique to the City of Tears, taking place once a year......

After doing everything, Angel returned to Ames City with Catherine and her parents. There, Anjie enjoyed the bearded man and the delicious meals cooked by his parents. In her free time, Angel and Katherine and Anxiang go to Iowa State University and go back to the dining room to watch TV and old photos. When it comes to training, the Whirlwinds' home stadium is always open to Anjie unconditionally.

AnJie's training camp has also paid off in China, and this year, not only the players of the CBA league, but also many big names of the NBA have traveled thousands of miles to China to receive training in the training camp.

Such a scene has exceeded An Jie's original expectations. So he also officially announced that after retiring, he will personally enter the training camp to start a special tutorial, just like Olajuwon. Of course, the price is also more intimidating than the Olajuwon training camp.

Anjie's steakhouse has been opened all over the world. Now you can find a branch even under the Eiffel Tower.

An Jie and his family watched the sunset and ended another wonderful day. Not only has he succeeded in the basketball field, but he has also matured in the business world.

Looking at Ames City, where the dream began, An Jie would always unconsciously fall into the memory. Reminiscing about the life of practicing every night, and recalling the night I met Catherine.

Life can really change everything.

Now, there is only one last one away from the three championships agreed upon by Anjie and Catherine. According to the agreement, Anjie will retire after winning another O'Brien Cup.

But will An Jie really be willing to leave the place he fought for? 11 years of career is not short. But throughout the history of the NBA, it is by no means long. The word retirement seems to be a little early for Anjie now.

A person who has worked the basketball court for most of his life is likely to be more reluctant to play basketball than he thinks......
