Chapter 708: Portland Carnival
At the end of the medal ceremony, the players scrambled to the locker room. It's a pain for the reporters with the cameras because they have to keep up with the players.
"Hahaha, we're champions!" Lillard casually took two glasses of water from the hands of the tunnel staff and began to splash them in front.
"You're finished with Damien in a minute, I promise!" Robin Lopez, who was splashed with water, put down the "harsh words", and it seemed that after entering the locker room later, there would inevitably be a big battle between him and Lillard.
At this time, the Heat players in the visiting locker room were in a depressed mood, and although James was about to leave, he still shed unwilling tears.
But at this moment, no one remembers the loser. It's a night for the Trailblazers, it's a night for the championship.
"Peng!" Iguodala, who was the first to run, slammed open the locker room door, and the box of champagne worth $160,000 lay quietly in the corner. By the time they attended the award ceremony, there were already official Trail Blazers staff members who helped them pry the boxes open. Now, more than a hundred bottles of expensive champagne are lying inside, waiting for this crazy group of players to throw themselves into their arms!
"Oh my God, that guy Paul really paid for it! What are you waiting for, guys, let's get on!" An Jie draped the national flag, swept through the crowd in a swimming posture, and rushed forward first.
This tall No. 00 can not only lead everyone on the basketball court, but off the court, this guy's leading role is just as obvious.
Under the leadership of An Jie, the players grabbed champagne one by one and shook violently.
The reporters who followed the shooting couldn't help but take a step back, and later, there would be chaos here!
"Hiss~~~ Bang!" The champagne in An Jie's hand was the first to gush out, and Robin Lopez, who was standing in front of An Jie, became the first guy to be shot today.
His exploding head was instantly drenched in champagne and a mess. After that, the sound of champagne corks being bounced off was undulating. The "repertoire" of the championship team every year, the champagne battle officially begins!
The year before last, when the Heat won the championship, James used champagne for less than fifty dollars a bottle. This year, Paul Allen prepared Moët & Chandon for the players, and the price of a bottle was more than $1,000. And at this time, in that big box, there are more than 100 bottles of this thing!
Just for the players to celebrate briefly in the locker room, Paul Allen burned $160,000. The $160,000 was literally burned because 90% of the champagne would have been wasted. At $160,000, this is quite possibly the most expensive champagne celebration in NBA history.
But Paul Allen doesn't feel sorry for the money, after all, not every Trail Blazers owner can experience the team's championship moment. If it weren't for Anjie joining, Paul Allen's $160,000 wouldn't have been burned out.
Angel finished his bottle in the "champagne rain", after which he picked up the O'Brien Cup and the Bill Russell Cup and stood in the middle of the dressing room. Suddenly, the champagne in everyone's hands was sprayed towards Anjie.
Surrounded by reporters and teammates, An Jie has become the focus of attention at the moment. Everyone knows that the biggest credit for the Trail Blazers to win the championship is this yellow-skinned guy. If it weren't for him crushing the opponent's interior all the way, the Trail Blazers would really not have come to the championship.
Anjie grew her mouth and enjoyed the champagne that had been sprayed into her mouth. More than $1,000 a bottle, the taste is still quite good.
"Leave me some, stinky boys!" Just as the players were having fun spraying Angel, the suit-clad Ricard and Divac returned.
I saw Riccard untie his tie, take off his suit and throw it on the ground, pick up champagne, and immediately join the battle.
Before Ricard could open the champagne, Robin Lopez picked up two full bottles and poured them over Ricard's head.
Divac was still laughing at Ricard on the side, but in the next second, this guy was also sprayed.
Iguodala sat in the corner, champagne in one hand and cigar in the other. He smiled and looked at his teammates who were "hurting each other" in front of him, and he was quietly enjoying this moment of honor.
Leaving the 76ers to join the Trail Blazers, the original decision, but Iguodala struggled for a long time. Following in the footsteps of a Chinese in the NBA has never seemed to have a successful precedent.
But now, when Iguodala holds two championship trophies. He knew he had made the right decision.
Maybe he'll stay with the Trail Blazers, maybe another three years, five years, or maybe he'll retire here?
Iguodala doesn't know, but as long as Angel is still in Portland, Iguodala will never leave!
"I'm with you, Ann. Iguodala muttered to himself, and then he picked up the champagne, jerked up, and joined in the revelry......
There are more than 100 bottles of champagne, and it will take a lot of time to squander them all.
By the time the whole case had been taken, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Before they got out of the dressing room, many of the players were almost drunk.
An Jie, whose whole body was stuck with champagne, sat in front of his cabinet, and after the madness, this guy suddenly quieted down, remembering everything he had walked this year.
This season seems to be the smoothest season of my career. Anjie played all 82 regular season games and playoffs, and he didn't suffer even minor injuries. Although he experienced the misfortune of Aldridge's mother and the retirement of Ricard, Anjie gritted his teeth and did not let the Trail Blazers' record suffer in any way.
In the end, the Trail Blazers set a historic record of 72 wins. And, like the Bulls, they went on a killing spree in the playoffs and managed to win the O'Brien Cup.
Before the playoffs began, Jordan commented more than once: "72 wins without a championship, there is no point. ”
But now, even the proud "helpers" must admit that this year's Portland Trail Blazers are just as great as the Bulls that year.
Not only did the Trail Blazers perform well in the regular season, but they won the championship with two 4-0 and two 4-1 in the playoffs, which is a reflection of the strength of this group of guys.
They have lost only two of their 16 intense playoff games, and the Trail Blazers are still in the West. With such an analysis, the strength of the Trail Blazers is really jaw-dropping.
After the champagne war ended, Anjie and the others did not stop there. This group of extremely excited guys also plans to go to the local nightclub for an all-nighter.
One by one, the players washed the champagne off their bodies, changed into handsome civilian clothes, and left the messy locker room.
What An Jie didn't expect was that at one o'clock in the morning, when they left the Moda Center, there were still countless fans waiting for them outside the Moda Center. While the players were partying in the locker room, the Trail Blazers fans were partying outside the court.
The players waved at the fans who had been guarding them one by one, and the fans who had drunk it also shouted in response.
"Damn it, are these guys crazy!?" a young officer grumbled dissatisfiedly, he was supposed to rest today, but in order to increase the police presence at the Moda Center, this guy was temporarily called back and continued to work.
It's past one o'clock in the morning, but the drunken crowd of fans is still excited. The young officer didn't know how long he would have to survive.
"Today, let's let these guys go crazy for one night. A slightly more senior police officer patted the young man on the shoulder, how many times has Portland had such a chance to have such a party in so many years?
"The Trail Blazers, invincible! The Trail Blazers, invincible......" It wasn't until the car walked away that the loud shouts of the fans gradually disappeared from An Jie's ears.
"Invincible!" An Jie gently hammered his chest and whispered to himself the words of the fans.
Tonight, what a blessing......
After a tense season, tonight, let all the guys who are fighting for it go crazy and indulge. Who made this group of boys the championship winners?
