Chapter 595: It's Not a One-Man Battle

"Beep~~~" The red light on the rebound sounded, and the number on the timer also became 0.0. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No!" the entire Rose Garden fans clasped their heads in pain as James stepped onto the podium as the "Little Emperor" announced that he had conquered the City of Roses once and for all.

Anjie sat slumped on the ground, he couldn't believe that he had let James take the championship trophy from the Rose Garden.

"Ann, get up. In this moment of desperation, Angel heard Catherine's voice.

"Don't!" An Jie sat up suddenly, but found that he was not in the rose garden, and he was not on the basketball court. Instead, she sat on the bed sweating profusely, and Catherine, who brought breakfast milk to Anjie, was startled.

"Whew. An Jie looked around, and then let out a big breath. Today is June 19th, US time, and tomorrow is the day when the finals will be played. Those images just now are just another nightmare.

"Another nightmare?" Catherine sat next to An Jie's bed, and An Jie had already woken up once in the early hours of yesterday morning.

"yes, damn it. It's the third time I've had a nightmare in the playoffs. Even when I was a kid, I didn't do it so often. An Jie picked up the hot skim milk and drank most of the glass in one go.

Anjie's tense nerves were so tense that he couldn't relax even when he went home. If all this happens, Anjie really doesn't know how to deal with it.

In the playoffs, the further back you go, the worse you risk getting hurt. And now, the Trail Blazers are standing at the highest point, that is, the position where they are likely to be the worst.

"Let's sleep a little longer, there was no training this morning. You haven't slept well since you came back from yesterday's game, don't worry, I'll have lunch ready for you. Catherine smiled and stroked An Jie's face.

"Thank you Catherine, but I have to start today's practice. Angel kissed the back of Catherine's hand, lifted the quilt, and got up from the "horrible" bed.

When he walked out of the room, Anjie's parents and Catherine's father were already sitting at the dining table. After returning to Portland, Anjie is right, and the two families have taken their own houses to live in. The last thing this small cottage lacks is the empty room.

"Woke up so early?" An Jie's father looked at his watch, it was only 7 o'clock. The regular training for the Trail Blazers starts at 2 p.m.

"It's late today, Dad, I'm ......" Before An Jie could speak, his attention was attracted by the TV.

"We've got to win the championship in the away tie-break, history is meant to be broken. This season, like Ann, I've created a 27-game winning streak. So, I'm going to keep making history in the finals. "On the TV screen, reporters interviewed James after yesterday's game.

Despite the loss, James is still full of confidence. The little emperor is a person who has reached the finals for three consecutive years, and compared with An Jie, a "rookie" who experienced it for the first time, the "little emperor" must have much more confidence.

In fact, before that, except for the once invincible Lakers. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there has not been a second team that has reached the finals three years in a row. But now, under James' leadership, the Heat have done just that.

Think about how strong the "OK" Lakers in the early 21st century and the Lakers from 2008 to 2010 were. And now, the Heat is a team at the same level as such a Laker.

Such a strong strength makes James's self-confidence a matter of course. Similarly, it also made An Jie's inner pressure even greater.

He also has a 27-game winning streak and a regular season record of more than 60 wins. also passed all the way and stood on the stage of the finals. From start to finish this season, the Heat and Trail Blazers are two of the best teams. The more he thought about this, the more irritated An Jie's heart became.

Everyone is under pressure, even Anjie, who is in her fifth year in the NBA.

Catherine saw An Jie staring at the TV blankly, and remembered An Jie's continuous nightmare last night. Needless to say, she also knows what trouble her lover is in.

Anjie is an iron man in the hearts of Portland fans, an iron man who will not be knocked down by any difficulties and only exists in mythology.

But in Catherine's eyes, An Jie is no different from the stunned big boy at the beginning.

So when An Jie had breakfast and changed her clothes and was about to go out, Catherine took An Jie's arm.

"Let's go, I'll go out with you. ”

"But...... I'm going to train. ”

"Oops, let's go~" An Jie can refuse a business contract worth millions, but he can't refuse Catherine's coquettishness.

"That'...... Then here we go. An Jie greeted the three "old men" with smiles on their faces, and dragged Catherine out of the house.

'It's going to be hard to wait when you go to the training ground, God knows how long we'll be training today. ”

"It's okay, I'll accompany you. Catherine said as she tinkered with the car stereo.

Catherine's preview of the NBA Finals tie-break was shut down, and it was a soothing slouch that the lazy voice replaced the heated arguments of the pundits.

It's a Norah Jones song, and Angel knows it as soon as she hears it. A few years ago, Jones also sent a CD to Anjie as a gift.

An Jie's nerves suddenly relaxed, he listened to basketball radio programs for a month, and listened to those big men arguing all day long, he almost forgot what it was like to enjoy music and music.

Norah Jones's works are mostly love songs, and Catherine is sitting next to her.

Accompanied by the touching melody, An Jie couldn't help but hold Catherine's slender little hand. The two looked at each other and smiled slightly. Sometimes, it's as simple as taking it easy.

"New York City

So moving, so hurtful

New York City

So moving"

Subsequently, the two couldn't help but sing along with the car stereo. The whole car is filled with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

An Jie suddenly turned a corner, and now he suddenly didn't want to go to the rose garden. He just wanted to drive aimlessly, he just wanted to enjoy this simple but very pleasant time.

The two of them sang and laughed in the car, and let these damn things get out of the good things in the present.

A laughing Mazda RX-7 sports car weaves through Portland's not-so-crowded streets, and the city is already enveloped in the atmosphere of the Grand Final. Huge posters, fans wearing Anjie No. 00 jerseys everywhere, and small flags of the Trail Blazers are planted at the entrances of various stores...... But Jie and Catherine, who were sitting in the car, felt as if they were living in their own little world. The two are completely isolated from the outside world of Portland, where there is only lazy relaxation and joy.

Anjie didn't know where he had been, and he didn't know how long he had been driving. When the car finally pulled into the underground parking lot of Rose Garden, it was only half an hour before the team's regular training session at 2 p.m. began.

Turning off the stereo, Anjie and Catherine still had smiles on their faces. This "trip" made the two people who had not seen each other for a long time still unsatisfied.

"It's amazing to have you here. Anjie couldn't help but turn to the side, her eyes staring at Catherine's sheer white cheeks.

"Do you want me to be by your side forever?" Catherine leaned her face up, her voice full of charm.

An Jie swallowed his saliva, although she had done everything she should have done with Catherine over the years, every time she was in Miaoman's atmosphere, this girl would make An Jie's heart beat faster.

He nodded silently, and the lips of the two slowly approached.

"Bring me the championship as a wedding gift...... I believe in you, Ann, you are the best basketball player in the world. Catherine kissed her......

An Jie pushed the door of the home team's locker room hard, and sure enough, his teammates were already actively preparing for training. It seems that An Jie's "acceptance speech" after yesterday's competition was not in vain.

"Look, look, this guy is full of spring!" Aldridge immediately coaxed, and when he just parked the car, he accidentally saw something that he shouldn't see.

"I just saw your Humvee, LaMarcus, and you'll be on the training ground later, so you'll have to pay a price. An Jie did not shy away from it, after all, this group of guys was already as familiar as his own family. With family, there's nothing to hide.

"The last regular training of the season, guys. Rickard clapped his hands, and the noisy locker room fell silent.

"Let me finish it in the best shape possible!, and ...... tomorrow," Ricard snapped his fingers, and several courier company workers dragged in a large box of things.

"Wow, sir, you're there!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and what Riccard had dragged in was a case of champagne!

"Well, I know you stinky boys can't wait. No one can touch that thing today, and when we win the championship tomorrow, I'll make sure none of you can walk out of this door sober!"

"Roar!" everyone shouted, and Riccard turned his players into a pack of hungry wolves hungry for victory, in his own way.

What about Anjie? He's no longer stressed. There's Catherine, there's family, there's teammates, there's coaching...... There are so many people who lose and win with themselves. There is nothing to be afraid of!

The last and most important game of the 12-13 season is on the agenda.
