Chapter 589: The Temporary Golden Cup
June 18, 7:30 p.m., Portland's Rose Garden Course. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the moment, the roads around the Rose Garden are already congested. In the square outside the Rose Garden, a crowd of black-pressed fans are gathering to watch the game and cheer on their team through several large temporary LED screens.
Some fans who had tickets but had not yet entered the stadium due to traffic jams were anxiously struggling through the crowd, and now the players on both sides should have started to warm up, and if they go later, they may miss the start of the game.
Catherine and his father are two fans who are plagued by traffic jams, and the father pulls his daughter through the crowd of avid Trail Blazers fans. And some bright-eyed fans also saw that the beautiful girl in front of them was An Jie's girlfriend.
"Is that Catherine?"
"Really? Ann's girlfriend?"
"Oh, this can't be true?"
The fans all looked at the father and daughter with surprised eyes, and Catherine felt that something was wrong. Will this group of fans surround themselves, and will those reporters block their path?
However, a few seconds later, Catherine was very moved by the actions of the fans. This group of fanatical guys consciously gave way and blocked the reporters from the "wall" by the way.
This way, Catherine and her father were able to easily walk to the ticket gate to enter.
"Go on, girl, give Ann more power!" the fans began to shout Catherine's name, and sure enough, in Portland, anyone who has a relationship with An Jie can enjoy the privilege.
"Oh God! I've never seen anything like it in Portland!" said an ESPN correspondent who got out of a cab and was stunned by what he saw.
The huge square was full of people, and this group of guys gathered around the big LED screens to enjoy the carnival.
And the picture of the scene was given to An Jie, who was warming up with a replacement hook under the basket. Suddenly, the Portland fans gathered here exploded. As long as the camera is given to An Jie, it is destined to lead to a small climax.
The cops are like enemies, and they are afraid that something will happen to these crazy guys. Let's hope the Trail Blazers can win today, otherwise, it will be difficult for the Heat to get out of the Rose Garden.
On the front of the Rose Garden Arena hung a huge poster of all the players, and An Jie, who was in the middle, raised his head proudly. And these fans inside and outside the stadium are all loyal believers of Anjie!
They frantically gathered here, as if facing the gods, praying that An Jie could lead the team to create a miracle. ESPN's reporters couldn't have imagined that a basketball player from a foreign country could have such a huge impact.
Today, the league can match Anjie in terms of popularity, and only Nowitzki is the only international player.
But the favourite is not necessarily the favourite who plays the better game. In the warm-up, An Jie couldn't help but glance at where Catherine was sitting.
While she was still in the locker room, Catherine sent her the news that she would not be able to arrive later. But now it's not a few minutes before the game starts, why is that spot still empty?
An Jie couldn't help but be a little worried, but this occasion made him have to show 100% of his strength, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest distraction.
It was at this time that Catherine and her father emerged from the crowd. The tall and beautiful figure hadn't sat down yet, and the first thing she did was set her eyes on the court.
She saw An Jie warming up under the basket at a glance, Catherine waved to An Jie excitedly, and An Jie responded with a smile.
Well, rest assured. Now, everything is ready, and Anjie can put all her energy into the game!
The picture of Catherine cheering for An Jie naturally did not escape the eyes of the on-site cameraman. The interaction between her and An Jie was immediately put on the big screen, and the Trailblazers fans at the scene also made a huge shout.
"Listen, if the Heat players are here for a while, we'll have to leave no room to interfere with them! But if it's our players who make free throws, then keep quiet!" The taxi driver who was favored by Ricard and his son organized the refueling of the stands behind the rebounds.
The guy wore a white T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Rip, City," the city that Tear City was named by fans when Bill Wharton led the team to a championship in 1977.
But since then, the name has faded into oblivion with the Trail Blazers.
Now, Anjie's arrival has ignited the passion of Portland fans and given the team hope of a championship and a return to glory. And the name "RIP CITY" has also been re-called at the Rose Arena in Portland.
It's an honor for Portland fans, and it's a name unique to the Trail Blazers and the City of Portland. The taxi driver was proud to wear this short sleeve, and at the moment, he was the sixth starter of the Trail Blazers fighting on the court!
"Come on, here today, let's take the O'Brien Cup away!" James gathered his teammates together and began to prepare for the pre-game agitation.
At the moment, the O'Brien Cup, David Stern and Bill Russell must be on the scene!
"This year's finals were really popular. In the luxurious box of the Rose Garden, an old man with white hair looked at the attendance rate of the Rose Garden with satisfaction.
"The best two teams, it's really the best matchup. "An old black man, on the other hand, puts his attention on the players.
On the table between these two old men is the golden O'Brien Cup!
Nell Orsi is right next door to the box, and it was he who entertained David Stern and Bill Russell. Of course, Orsi also wants his boys to work hard and keep that O'Brien Cup in Portland and Rose Garden forever!
When the Trail Blazers won the championship, the O'Brien Cup had just begun, and the name was still different.
At that time, the winning team could only hold the championship trophy for one year. So at the moment in the Trail Blazers' showroom, you don't have a way to see the O'Brien Cup.
Orsi really hopes that this time, the O'Brien Cup isn't just a temporary stop in the Rose Garden.
"Bang!" just as Orsi was fascinated, all the lights in the scene dimmed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury box. The national anthem singing ceremony, there was no running link in every game.
For the national anthem singing ceremony in the United States, An Jie has always been not very cold. If the live performance was "March of the Volunteers", maybe An Jie would have sung it seriously, but "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls"?
Anjie, like everyone else, placed his right hand on his chest. But all his attention was on the Trail Blazers' logo under the big screen on the scene.
When Anjie first joined the team, Nell Orsi told Anjie that the Trail Blazers team marked the ten lines in a circle, which represented courage, determination and pioneering spirit, and this icon also represented five players from both sides of the game forming a 1vs1 duel in a circle.
Courage, determination, pioneering spirit...... Anjie may not fully understand the meaning of this, but he can still bring these things to the basketball court!
At the end of the ceremony, the lights were back on. An Jie took a big breath and slapped his palm hard.
"Show our courage and determination! We can't, and we won't allow the Heat to be on our doorstep, to win the O'Brien Cup!" Anjie shouted loudly, so that James in the other half could hear it clearly.
"Roar!" everyone responded to An Jie with a powerful roar, a win, or, go, home game, must be equipped with the most enthusiastic decisive battle atmosphere!
"Knock knock ......" Catherine couldn't help but feel nervous for An Jie, if ...... If he loses today, how lost this big boy must be.
"Knock knock ......" Orsi couldn't help but drink a glass of red wine to keep himself calm, and fell behind 3-2, it was really a fatal situation.
"Knock knock......" The taxi driver stopped yelling, and he could hear his own heartbeat in the noisy environment. He was very nervous, and the basketball that would decide the life and death of the Trail Blazers was ready to go.
"Knock knock......" Anjie looked at Bosh, looked at James, and looked at Wade. These three guys are definitely the best trio in this league, and the pain of being crushed by them in the first two games at the American Airlines Center has not been forgotten.
But no matter how powerful the other party is, today, there is only one desperate bet!
"Toot toot!" the referee's whistle finally sounded, and the ball flew straight into the air.
Lose or tie seven, fail or counterattack? The most important game of Anjie's career has officially begun!
