Chapter 782: Pre-Season Commitment

When the game ended, Catherine had already rushed out of the luxury box with An Xiang in her arms and ran towards the court.

The little one, who was less than a year old, didn't know why his mother was so impatient, and his eyes were full of tears.

The image of Anjie kissing the hardwood floor of the Moda Center was transmitted to the world through countless cameras. His tears couldn't stop flowing, but this time, An Jie didn't feel that crying in front of the camera was a shameful thing.

"Ann!" In the crowd, Ann Jie heard Catherine shouting.

Looking in the direction of the sound, An Jie saw his wife and son.

An Jie immediately pushed aside the densely packed reporters and ran to Catherine. An Jie didn't say a word, put one hand around Catherine's waist, and kissed her in full view of everyone.

At this time, all the reporters kept a distance from Anjie and Catherine. After all, there is no willingness to interrupt this moment of happiness.

"Come on, son, dad will show you, this is where I created the dynasty!" An Jie finished speaking, and lifted An Xiang up and put it on his neck.

An Xiang rode on his father's neck with a confused expression, and he just thought it was fun. It feels good to have so many uncles and aunts under his nose holding up machines that he doesn't know about him. This kid doesn't know what a great achievement his father has accomplished in this land!

"Three in a row!Three in a row! Anjie, this incredible guy, he really achieved the great feat of three consecutive championships! This is the first person to create a dynasty in the NBA after the OK combination from 2000 to 2002! Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell...... Listen to these names, listen to the names that have created a dynasty! Now, the name Anjie will be on par with them! At the same time, let's congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers. They are the fourth team in NBA history to create a dynasty! This team has taken a big step towards the giants!" Mike Brin danced excitedly behind the commentary booth, a guy who has seen the rise and fall of the Bulls and Lakers dynasties since he started as a basketball commentator in 1983.

There was only a brief gap between the Bulls and Lakers. He didn't expect that when another dynasty rose, so many years had passed.

From 2002 to 2015, 13 years, how many players have come and gone, and how many championships have been experienced. But the emergence of a Chinese changed all that. Mike Brin considers himself fortunate to have been able to witness the birth of a dynasty four times in his limited career.

Mike Brin finished yelling and turned to look at his commentary partner, Jeff Van Gundy. To Mike Brin's surprise, his partner was wiping the corners of his eyes with paper. This guy actually cried?

At this point, Jeff Van Gundy is no longer a neutral commentator. Now he is An Jie's coach, An Jie's mentor after entering the NBA, and An Jie's friend. He moved from the coaching bench to the backstage, and he went from being a workaholic to caring about his family.

And the young An Jie back then, he has also changed. He went from a rookie who was new to the league, and from a confused young man who lost confidence in life after a season was reimbursed. Became the ruler of this cruel alliance, and became the founder of another dynasty!

Watching time turn all this into what it is now, Jeff Van Gundy is happy for Anjie from the bottom of his heart. So, while all the TV commentators were yelling, only Jeff Van Gundy didn't make a sound. Now, he just wants to remember this time and enjoy this championship moment.

"That skinny kid would be a great player if he polished it!" said Jeff Van Gundy, recalling the feeling he had felt when he watched Anjie play for the first time in the stands at the Chesapeake Energy Arena many years ago.

My own feeling is really accurate......

It took a long time for the frenzy to calm down a bit, and the stadium staff immediately came out to set up a makeshift podium for the victory ceremony that would take place later.

LeBron James, who was in the locker room, pulled out his phone and sent out two text messages. One for Owen and one for Love.

"We'll be back, come back and win the game!" was all there was to those two text messages, and after the text messages, James stepped onto the team bus alone. He put on his headphones in his seat, and what happened next, James didn't want to see anything, he didn't want to hear anything......

Inside the stadium, BA's new presidents, Adam Shaw and Bill Russell, took the stage.

Bill Russell looked at his surroundings and everything was familiar. After all, this is the third year in a row that I have stood in this place to present the award.

"It's you again? I'd like to try another person to present the award. You're so tall, it's a bit of a struggle for my old bones to look up at you. When Anjie took the stage and stood next to Russell, Bill Russell suddenly joked with Anjie.

"Don't worry, Bill, it's me who should be looking up!" Anjie said, shaking hands with Bill Russell.

After that, the Trail Blazers' players and coaches, as well as key members of the management, all took the stage. Adam Shaw began his speech by thanking the Cleveland Cavaliers for their contributions to the Finals.

Some fans were unimpressed, and the Cavaliers were swept 4-0 and the last two games were big losses. That's it, it's wonderful.

However, Xiao Hua also knows what it means to accept it when he sees it. Unlike Mr. Stern, who likes to nag for most of the day, Xiao Hua's speeches are often very brief. After a few words, Xiao Hua went straight to the point and started the award ceremony!

The giant five-star red flag appeared on the podium of the NBA championship for the third year in a row, and as is customary, An Jie will be the first person to take over the O'Brien Cup from Xiao Hua.

In other teams, it's often the owner or the head coach who is the first to pick up the trophy. But in the City of Tears, only An Jie can enjoy such an honor!

An Jie touched the heavy trophy, smiled happily, and then jerked it above his head!

Suddenly, on the ceiling of the Moda Center, a pile of colorful confetti that had been prepared sprayed down. The fans stood up and cheered along with the players on stage.

"The third year in a row! This is the third year in a row that we have seen An Jie draped in the Chinese flag and lift the O'Brien Cup! He is our pride, he is our basketball god!" Yu Jia's voice was already muffled, because the guy who was commentating at the scene had already burst into tears.

A dynasty that belongs to Chinese players, this kind of thing, people didn't even dare to think about it before. But now, Anjie has turned everything into reality!

After a brief, Bill Russell took the microphone. Everyone knows that it's time for the MVP of the Finals.

"I don't think I need to say my name, everyone knows who it is, right? In your words, Portland, there's only one MVP!" Russell said in a dragging old voice, handing the FMVP trophy to Anjie.

Won double MVP for three consecutive years, on this record. An Jie is a well-deserved first person!

With 30.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 5.0 blocks, Anjie's data in the playoffs fully embodies a sentence - in this era, no one can stop Anjie!

After all the ceremonies were over, it was time for the players to look forward to the most. By now, Nell Orsi must have prepared a case of good champagne waiting for the players to splurge on.

An Jie rushed into the players' tunnel with two trophies in his hands, holding it for two days, in this crazy moment, all emotions should be exploded......

※※※

Ivan Sr. walked in the empty tunnel with a mop, and outside, the headlights of the stadium had all been turned off and it was pitch black. Only these labyrinth-like player tunnels still retain light.

Not to mention how dirty it was in the players' tunnel, there was a mess everywhere, and just now old Ivan even saw a basketball shoe on the ground that no one wanted. can get drunk like this, I guess, it's Lillard's kid.

Thinking of this, old Ivan shook his head with a smile. The players' tunnel is not his work area, but his job is to clean up the dressing room that is destined to be a mess and keep it tidy until the start of next season.

For three years in a row, old Ivan had to do this kind of drudgery. But he didn't feel tired at all, but was very happy. After all, this guy is a die-hard fan of the Trail Blazers!

"Oh, this smells, you guys are crazy!" As soon as he pushed open the door to the dressing room, old Ivan took his mask and put it on. There was everything in the dressing room, and the rich smell of champagne and Gatorade was not very good.

"Tsk, these good champagnes are wasted. Ivan Sr. couldn't help but remember that before the start of this season, he had a conversation with Anjie, who had come to train in advance, and if Anjie won the championship again this season, he would leave him a bottle of champagne.

But at that time, Ivan Sr. just made a joke casually, he was just a cleaner, and Anjie, the hottest star in the entire league, was the hero of the whole Portland. How can others really pay attention to themselves?

Old Ivan didn't think much of it and began to slowly clean the locker room. When he began to clean An Jie's cabinet, he found that there seemed to be something on An Jie's cabinet.

"Impossible, right!?" Old Ivan took a closer look! Two bottles of champagne worth nearly $3,000 were placed in front of his eyes!

In front of the champagne, there is also a small note. Old Ivan picked up the note, which seemed to say something.

"I promise you before the season starts, old Ivan. Two bottles of champagne, here for you. Leave this mess for you, hard work. ”

Old Ivan looked at the note and smiled happily. He put the note in his pocket and accepted the two bottles of champagne, which were expensive. In fact, at this moment, champagne is no longer important. Old Ivan felt moved by what An Jie did.

No wonder you can be a hero in Portland. See you next season, my Dark Knight!
