When he was very young, when An Jie took over the orange basketball in his father's hand, this guy may not have imagined that one day, he could stand on the podium of the NBA for three consecutive years, red confetti falling from the sky, the fans singing never stopping, and the flashing lights of reporters made him feel dizzy for a while.

No one knows how many people on the planet shouted hoarsely and drank unconscious when Anjie lifted the O'Brien Cup for the third time. Inside and outside the stadium of the Moda Center, those men, women and children who did not know each other all embraced each other, and some people even set off firecrackers for this purpose on Chinese soil.

The day after Anjie won the championship, many companies had to take a temporary day off. Because their bosses themselves can't go to work......

An Asian who led a young team to a miraculous feat on the court of modern basketball. What Anjie has done is far beyond the scope of basketball.

Now, even people who don't follow basketball or the media have to mention it. On the night of the victory, China's news network even spent five minutes talking about Anjie's creation of a dynasty.

It's been a long time since basketball has set off such a craze around the world. And An Jie, the yellow-skinned and black-haired guy, once again pushed basketball to the world.

Such a scene can't help but remind people of the guy who created miracles in the 90s - Michael Jordan.

The day after winning the championship, the Trail Blazers were immediately invited by the City of Portland. On the third day, the city of Portland hosted the biggest championship parade in three years.

On this day, 70% of Portland's stores and companies are on holiday, and many citizens pour into the streets to cheer on the heroes who created the dynasty. In addition to local Portland fans, many fans from afar have joined in. Among them are Asians, Europeans, and even some supporters from Africa.

The route of this parade is also the longest in three years. It took the Trail Blazers players and management two open-top buses to load them all, and along the way, everyone on the Trail Blazers was holding the O'Brien Cup to receive the fans' respects. The whole procession took three and a half hours to complete!

Finally, the end of the parade was chosen in the square outside the Moda Center. Ending it all in the place where the dynasty was created couldn't have been better.

"This place is what I am today. I used three consecutive championships to repay the city that took me in! I love Portland! This city is my second home! I love you too! You are the sixth person on the basketball court, help us to the end!" On the makeshift podium, the first sentence of An Jie's speech caused a stir in the scene for a full 10 minutes before it gradually subsided.

People know that when Anjie said "I love Portland", he meant it sincerely. Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have kissed the hardwood floor with tears in his eyes on the night he won the championship.

The parade lasted until the evening, when it came to an end. When the fans dispersed, traffic paralyzed throughout Portland. The streets were crowded with people and cars, but the buildings were empty.

Finally, the Trail Blazers returned to the team showroom inside the Moda Center. Angel remembers that when he first came to Portland, Orsi took him on a tour of the showroom. At that time, there was nothing here except a couple of inconsequential trophies.

Now, however, three golden O'Brien cups lie in the center of the showroom. These three trophies, each of which is hard-won, will leave countless pictures in An Jie's mind.

"Look at it, guys, you fucking did it!" Rickard turned to look at the group of young men in front of him who had made history. There was nothing in his eyes but pride.

"We have built a dynasty, a real dynasty. Every workout, every drop of sweat. Every game, every offense and defense...... Three years, bit by bit, have brought us to where we are today. Rickard turned his head to look at the three trophies in the display box, and he was fascinated.

"I felt like we had to wrap it all up with a night out. Suddenly, Rickard changed his mind. The players looked at each other and smiled, and one by one they screamed and rushed out of the stadium.

The establishment of a dynasty will always encounter various difficulties. However, this team of pioneers who have gone through hardships have survived all difficulties.

Since the "OK" combination of O'Neal and Kobe, countless powerhouses have tried to turn this into reality. However, only Trailblazer and Anjie have done this.

When Angel was in doubt, when Aldridge's mother was sick, when Lillard was plagued by injuries, when Rickard was seriously ill...... These difficult moments failed to crush the Trail Blazers. It is precisely because of the trials they have gone through that they can become the ones who created the dynasty.

This night of fun in Portland is for a good time for these guys who are desperately trying to win on the court......

After all, they are living legends.

※※※

After the carnival night, the Trail Blazers officially announced their disbandment, and the players officially began their vacation.

On June 17, An Jie returned to China with his wife and children. The reason is naturally because An Jie was invited by the Chinese Basketball Association to participate in the celebration banquet.

As soon as he got off the plane, the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans made An Jie smile. It took nearly an hour for An Jie to get on a special car under the protection of the airport to handle the case.

The celebration banquet that day was very formal, but An Jie had long been accustomed to such a situation. He and Catherine were very comfortable at the dinner table, after all, no matter how big an official they were now, they didn't dare to play a temper in front of An Jie.

One day after the celebration banquet, An Jie was invited by Yao Ming to fly to Shanghai. In Shanghai, Yao Ming's youngest daughter seems to be very fond of An Xiang. She always teased the little brother from time to time, and if there was one thing that these two children were really very similar, that is, they were both one size older than children of the same age.

After a few days in Shanghai, Anjie and Catherine flew back to Ames, the place where the dream began.

"Happy Birthday!" In the bearded restaurant, An Jie celebrated his 26th birthday in the company of his family and his former teammates, both old and new.

On the dining room of the bearded man's house, there are many old photos of the Whirlwind team. Now An Jie and the others look at these things, and they really have an aftertaste.

In the photo, some of the people who fought side by side with An Jie on the basketball court back then were already in suits and leather shoes, and some were already pot-bellied. Mike Taylor has become half European. "Big Bull" Morris has also taken root in Oklahoma. As for the young Rickard in the photo, at this moment, not only has the wrinkles on his forehead deepened, but he has also become the godfather of an NBA-level dynasty.

And the naughty daughter of the owner of this shop has become a mature and virtuous wife. Everything is so magical. At that time, who would have thought that when An Jie returned here at the age of 26, the world would become like this.

"I'm going to the draft!" said Anjie when she made the decision on that lonely night in Ames City. History has been changed by that emaciated guy.

26 years old, unconsciously, An Jie is already a person of "Ben San". An Jie, who was a little dizzy, looked out the window of the store, and at this moment, he seemed to see the pure white night seven years ago again.

On that snowy Christmas Eve, Anjie didn't know how long he walked. He was very unfamiliar with everything around him, and suddenly found a restaurant that was still open.

The restaurant has an ordinary appearance, with red light pipes spelling out three words on the restaurant's door: Chinese cuisine......
