2014 is coming to an end and the weather is getting colder. The active Anxiang was now wrapped in such a way that every time he swung his arms, he had to exert more force than before.

When the weather is cold, no one wants to leave the warm bed. This is bitter for An Jie and Catherine, because in the middle of the night, An Xiang always cries and screams because of peeing his pants.

Usually An Jie is busy with training and often goes to other cities to play away, so Catherine has much more time to take care of the children than An Jie. Almost from the first day of An Xiang's birth, Catherine never stopped.

"What's wrong with that kid?" Another peaceful crying and fussing in the middle of the night, Catherine returned to the warm bed, and An Jie, who was waiting on the bed, asked with concern.

"I pee again, Xiao Ke is too mobile, he drinks a lot of water during the day, and he pees more often at night. It's okay, this time, we should be able to sleep peacefully until morning. Catherine shifted and hugged the strong Angel.

An Jie touched Catherine's head, his wife has been really hard lately. Christmas can't be spent at home, tomorrow Christmas Eve, An Jie must let his wife have a comfortable day.......

※※※

In the early hours of the morning, An Jie suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at his wife, who was still asleep from exhaustion.

An Jie carefully lifted the quilt, for fear of waking Catherine up. Finally, one night Catherine could sleep peacefully for so long, and An Jie couldn't bear to wake her up.

Before the alarm clock got up, An Jie climbed out of the quilt. He lifted the corner of the curtain, and the air around him was still cold.

Angel tiptoed into the kitchen and put the toast in the oven. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of cream. An Jie is going to train today, but he hasn't forgotten to prepare for Catherine and An Xiang.

After a cup of hot cocoa and two glasses of milk, the sky outside the window was still gray. Winter is like that, it's always lit up very late. Catherine was still sleeping soundly, and Angel was going to let her sleep a little longer.

While waiting, An Jie turned on the TV. On the TV, ESPN was playing a documentary about AnJie joining the Trail Blazers for more than three years.

This is a short film edited by ESPN from Mugoslav after buying the rights from existing information materials, and for more than three seasons, the ups and downs of Anjie and the Trail Blazers are all integrated into this short 15-minute documentary.

The documentary ends after An Jie chops a triple-double of 50+15+15, and at this moment, An Jie and Catherine's bedroom room also rings on time.

Catherine seemed to notice that An Jie was not by her side, and she hurriedly rushed out of the room and walked downstairs, only to see An Jie sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Catherine smiled sweetly and rubbed her hazy eyes. Suddenly, An Jie's blurred figure became clear.

"Good morning, baby. Angel walked up the stairs and kissed Catherine lightly on the forehead.

"What's wrong with you today? Get up early in the morning and watch TV. ”

"Wherever you watch TV, I've got breakfast ready for you and An Xiang. Angel led Catherine to the kitchen, just as they walked hand in hand on the streets of Ames. It's like Christmas that year, when they met for the first time.......

"Hehe, I knew you would only use the bread maker to make toast. Catherine was complaining, but her expression was very happy.

"Who said I had hot milk? Just after Catherine took a bite of the toast, Anjie took out a glass of steaming milk from her back.

"Ann, you're ....... today"

"Merry Christmas, Catherine. Before Catherine could finish speaking, An Jie hugged his wife suddenly.

During this Christmas holiday for family reunions, Anjie has to work hard for an important match. But at this moment, Catherine felt that her Christmas was quite perfect......

"Block, block!" on the training ground, the voices of the players came and went. Lillard was shouting tactics, and Meyers Leonard didn't slack off, and immediately stepped forward, and the pick-and-roll position was perfect.

"He followed An Jie, and the progress was really fast. Ricard gave a sound of praise, and Meyers Leonard was arguably one of the Trail Blazers' surprises this year.

'Yes, I think we can slowly increase his role in the team. Divac, next to Ricard, agrees that Meyers Leonard may not be a star, but he can be a very good and functional player.

With a pick-and-roll, Lillard easily broke through Miller, who was getting slower and slower. Anjie, who was still behind Meyers Leonard, reacted quickly and immediately chased after Lillard to the restricted area.

Lillard's speed is naturally much faster than Anjie, but when Lillard jumped up and was ready to go to the basket, Anjie did not give up defense, but stretched his arm in the air, tried his best to pounce, and pinned the basketball to the rebound before it fell!

"Oh my God!" even Ricard, who had watched Anjie's countless performances, couldn't help but marvel. If this ball were to be defended by anyone in this league, Lillard would definitely have managed to score. But An Jie's dedication to the cover just now made him successfully complete an incredible picture.

"Damn, Ann, what kind of medicine did you take today!" Lillard looked back in disbelief after landing on the ground, he couldn't believe that An Jie was able to rush back to cover himself.

"Hehe, it's in good shape, there's no way. An Jie smiled happily, today's warm morning made An Jie full of motivation.

"With this state to face the Spurs, I'm afraid Duncan and Popovich won't have to spend Christmas. Ricard instantly relaxed, and it seemed that the pressure from the outside world would not affect Anjie in the slightest.

"We took them clean in the playoffs last season, and tomorrow, we're just going to repeat what we've done. "Divac is full of confidence, and the Spurs are certainly one of the league's powerhouses. But the Trail Blazers are the tallest of these strong men.

"Christmas War? I miss the time when we weren't regulars. My wife's Christmas dinner has not been eaten in years. Ricard looked at the players who were in good form, and finally released from the tension and chatted with Divac.

"I haven't been home for Christmas in years, and these sacrifices are nothing for the sake of victory. Divac turned on his phone and looked at the Christmas photos his family had sent him. Although it's very worrying not to be able to go back for Christmas, isn't the Trail Blazers everyone's second home?

The warriors of the City of Roses are ready for battle, far away in San Antonio, while another group of fellows are preparing to board the plane and head to Portland.

Duncan couldn't help but wrap the padded jacket on his body, he was older, and he was really not as cold as he was back then. He looked around him, and whenever the wind blew, Popovich, Ginobili, and Parker would do the same thing as himself.

Not only himself, but these guys are not young anymore......

"Hey Tim, we're going to Portland again. Before he knew it, Ginobili, who was already bald, walked up to the expressionless man.

"I hate that place. Duncan replied without hesitation.

"The City of Roses, full of thorns. We're just going to cross like that, and it's easy to get hurt. Ginobili said, patting Duncan's buttocks. "Come on, old man, we can't just quit the game. ”

Looking at Ginobili's distant back, Duncan smiled slightly.

It's all this time, Manu, do you still want to keep playing, playing with someone who is 12 years younger than you and is in the prime of life?

Old man, if you want to play, then I'll accompany you!

"Whoosh~~~~" The wind blew again, and Duncan could even feel a dull pain in his joints.

The expressionless old man cursed quietly and stepped onto the plane to Portland......
