James sat slumped on the couch, his eyes slightly open, staring blankly at the TV in front of him.

By this time, Dwyane Wade, who was sharing a room with James, had fallen asleep. "The Flash" has not been in a good mood for the past two days, it is rare for him to sleep so deeply, so James did not turn on the sound when he was watching TV.

In the dark room, the TV was the only light. Late-night TV shows always show some dispensable content. But it was clear that James' mind was not on that, he was just trying to keep himself awake.

Outside the window, it was pitch black in Portland, and there was no one to be seen except for the occasional passing car. James suddenly pressed the power button on the remote control, the TV turned off, and the whole room was swallowed in darkness. James tiptoed to his phone and walked into the bathroom.

In the toilet, James will not be noisy to the sleeping Wade. Moreover, he didn't want the next conversation to be heard by his good brother.

The all-powerful No. 6 on the basketball court was already haggard at this time, but he still chose to make a phone call at this time, even though it was already half past two in the morning.

However, the call was answered after a while. Obviously, the guy on the other end of the phone didn't plan to end the day that was about to pass. Before the man could speak, James took the lead in asking, "Haven't you slept yet? ”

"Are you sure we're talking now?" the voice on the other end of the phone sounded tired.

"Yes, right now. ”

"Whew...... You know LeBron, this is not a good time to talk about the future. ”

"However, I made my decision now. James replied categorically.

"It's been decided!?The season isn't over yet, LeBron! We've said we'll officially discuss this in the offseason!"

"Do you think it's possible for us to turn the tables?" asked James.

"You said it yourself, records are meant to be broken. There has never been a 3-1 comeback win in the history of the finals, but you said it yourself, records are meant to be broken. ”

"That's right, I said that. But what I'm asking is, do you think we still have a chance to turn the tables around?"

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds, struggling to spit out a few words. "As much as I would love for the Heat to win the championship, honestly, with the form of this year, the odds of you coming back are too slim. Unless Dwayne's knees are refreshed, unless Ray Allen and Lewis are five years younger, ......"

"yes, I think so, Richie. I think...... I think maybe it's time to go somewhere new and make a run for the championship. ”

"Are you sure!?LeBron!" the man on the other end of the line was very serious.

"I'm sure, Richie. The Miami Heat's dreamtime has come to an end. I've only won a championship once, just once! And I'm 30 years old this year! It's hard to believe that I'm a 30 years old when I entered the NBA as a high school student! Think about how far I'm going to play in another four or five years? I want a championship. Richie, not just one, I want more championships! And all this, Miami can't give me! There's no time, I can't continue to spend it in Miami. James confided in himself, but he didn't dare to say it too loudly because he was afraid that Wade, who was sleeping outside, would hear it.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it was only after dozens of seconds that the voice rang again. “...... Okay LeBron, I'll work on it tomorrow. There's a good plan over there in Cleveland, and you should be interested. But for the rest of the season, you still have to work hard. Otherwise, public opinion from the outside world will be unfavorable to us. ”

"I know Richie, at least for now, I'm still fighting for the Miami Heat!"

"Okay, rest early, LeBron, and in the future, don't stay up late. With that, James' manager, Rich Paul, hung up.

James walked out of the bathroom, Wade was still sleeping soundly, and the whole of Portland was still very quiet. But at this time, James's heart was full of grains......

An Jie, An Jie, this time, are you going to win again?

"Ahh

The sky outside was still pitch black, but the guy still looked excitedly at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It's three o'clock in the morning, and it's still some time before dawn.

"Why is it only three o'clock!" An Jie reluctantly lay back on the bed and held Catherine in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Catherine didn't open her eyes, but she spoke. Sure enough, she had been woken up.

"Hehe, no, I woke up suddenly. Angel smiled and hugged Catherine tighter.

"What are you thinking? Catherine turned over and looked at Angel face to face.

"I'm thinking about the championship, I'm thinking about you, and the baby in your belly. ”

Catherine smiled happily and cupped An Jie's face with both hands. "Win the championship and make our children proud!"

"Don't worry, Catherine, the day after tomorrow at the Moda Center, I'll end this!"

"Sleep, I'm going to train tomorrow. With that, Catherine fell back asleep, but An Jie was still a little excited.

He can't wait for tomorrow to come soon, and the two-day break between the fourth and fifth games will be nothing short of torture for An Jie. Now Anjie can't wait for the fifth game of the series to start quickly, because he is about to go crazy to win the O'Brien Cup.

After three years with the Trail Blazers, he already has a chance to lift a second championship. Thinking about it now, An Jie feels a little incredible.

But An Jie, what he likes is that it is impossible to complete. At first, people said that this thin Chinese who had been exposed to regular basketball training too late could not play professionally, but he was successfully selected in the draft.

At first, people said that this guy who was abandoned by the Kings couldn't make a big deal, but he made the little-known Oklahoma City Thunder famous in the league.

At the beginning, people said that Anjie, who had suffered a major injury, and the Trail Blazers, who had just lost Roy, would never succeed. However, now, the Trail Blazers have become the defending champions, the Trail Blazers have tied the Bulls' 72-win record, and the Trail Blazers have become the best team in the league, and there is no one.

Life is sometimes so wonderful, as long as you never give up and continue to work hard and succeed, you will always come to your door.

If he could, Anjie really wanted to be with the Trail Blazers for the rest of his life. He's grateful to the Thunder, and he's big enough to have Durant and Westbrook and his good brother Morris. But now, Anjie already has a rose heart.

Thinking about it, An Jie was a little confused and gradually fell back asleep.

Thinking about it, James's heart became more and more complicated, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

Two strong guys, two tough opponents. At the moment, they have embarked on two different paths.

God knows what James and Angel will turn the league into in the future, but this series is bound to be the origin of a series of events.

The night in Portland will always be spent quietly like this. But the whole summer after that is destined to be very restless......
