Chapter 864: If nothing else......
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"
"Everybody can go in, don't squeeze it! squeeze it again, squeeze it again and I'll close the door!"
Two stadium security guards are keeping order in the players' tunnels, and a large number of reporters have filled the media reception room at AnJie Centre.
Yet even so, there are still many journalists who want to squeeze in. After all, such a thing as An Jie completing a lore is becoming more and more rare now. Everyone, holding back their stomachs of questions, wanted to ask him.
"Are you sure it's today?" In the backstage of the media reception room, Anjie was talking on the phone with his manager, Moslav.
"Just today, everyone is in a good mood today. I don't think the atmosphere was so heavy. An Jie smiled, completing the lore, all this is really like a dream. Since so many people want to interview themselves, let's give them a big news.
"As long as you're ready, but ...... Forget it, nothing. Do what you want, I don't have any advice for you. "Moslav wanted to persuade An Jie to fight for a few more years, but after thinking about it, An Jie, it's really time to rest.
After making the call, An Jie walked up from the backstage. Suddenly, his eyes flashed brightly. As soon as An Jie sat down, the reporters raised their hands.
"The last time you scored a shutout was during the regular season last year. How does it feel to kill the game again?" a young reporter from ESPN became the first Xin Yun'er to be called.
'I really enjoy the moment and of course thanks to my team-mates and coaches. Without George's shooting iron, I wouldn't have had a chance to be in the limelight. An Jie was still joking unscrupulously, and George, who was sitting next to An Jie, only smiled, of course he wouldn't be angry.
"Ann, Embiid said before the game that you are old, and he will not show mercy. But today, you bottomed out in the second half and restrained Embiid very badly. What adjustments did you make at halftime, and do you think it's disrespectful to Embiid's ramblings?"
"Embiid's remarks are normal, we're in competition, there's no need for him to be respectful to me off the court. The basketball court has always been a place where strength speaks. It's a pity that if that kid doesn't want to show mercy to my subordinates, he will have to practice again. Anjie didn't care what Embiid said, in his last season, Anjie just wanted to enjoy the joy that basketball brought him.
After that, the reporters continued to ask An Jie a lot of questions. George and Ricard, who attended the press conference together, became Anjie's foils, and only occasionally a few would point the finger at them.
Finally, after half an hour, the reporters seemed to have nothing left to ask. An Jie patiently answered all the questions, and the satisfied reporters also planned to leave with these materials. Today's news is sure to be very popular!
The reporters in the stands of An Jie almost calmed down, so they cleared their throats. "Since everyone is almost asked, let me make a announcement. ”
Suddenly, the entire media reception room was stunned. Rickard and George glanced at Angel, and they both knew what the news was. What about the reporters? These guys are all at a loss, when did An Jie take the initiative to provide them with information?
Only Wu Hua was the first to react. He hurriedly turned on the camera, hoping to record it all. Wu Hua could vaguely feel that this guy was leaving!
CCTV, ESPN, FOX Sports, Sky, CBS...... Basically most of the mainstream sports media are in front of Anjie at the moment, and Anjie pauses, leans forward, and brings his mouth close to the microphone.
Rickard clenched his fists beside Anjie, did he really want to say it? Is he really ready to announce this to the world? At this moment, the "rogue coach" seems to be even more nervous than Anjie himself.
The reporters pricked up their ears and waited for An Jie to speak. And Wu Hua, who was in the crowd, had already sent a message to tell the society. "Leave me as much space as I can, and there's going to be big news soon!"
Catherine, who was watching TV, couldn't take her eyes off it, today, but Anjie's big day.
"Today...... We had a good game today. An Jie said this and paused again.
The reporters couldn't figure it out, An Jie said that there was something to be announced, could it be that he just wanted to talk to them about family life?
In fact, if An Jie didn't pause, he was afraid...... He was afraid that reporters would hear him cry.
And then ...... If nothing else......"
"If nothing else, will you continue to win?" a young reporter suddenly interjected, causing his colleagues below to laugh. The serious atmosphere has also eased a little.
An Jie also smiled with the reporters, and after that, he approached the microphone again.
"If nothing else, I'm going to retire after this season. ”
"Boom!" the reporters' minds suddenly went blank, and their smiles froze on their faces and became stiff. What did this guy just say!?Wait, did he say he was going to retire!?
Rickard smiled and said nothing. This guy is so long-winded...... Eh, why are your eyes red? I'm obviously smiling.

Yao Ming returned home after a busy day, and his wife Ye Li had already prepared a table of meals. The daughter happily ran to the door and gave Da Yao a warm hug.
Yao Ming touched his daughter's head, sat down at the dinner table, and took off his blazer.
Ye Li turned on the TV casually, it was only seven o'clock, and the news broadcast had just begun.
Yao Ming took a chopstick dish and was about to send it to his mouth, but at this time, the sound of the TV attracted Yao Ming's attention.
The famous Chinese basketball player An Jie officially announced his retirement at 10 a.m. Beijing time at the AnJie Center, ending his 16-year career. The voice of the news broadcaster was so calm, but the chopsticks in Yao Ming's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
At this moment, I don't know how many Chinese have the same reaction as Yao Ming.
“...... Over the years, I feel most sorry for my parents, wife and son. I spent so little time with them, and I didn't do my duty as a son, husband, and father. Now, I think it's time to be there for them. I love the city, I love the team, I love all the team-mates who play side by side with me. However, I was really tired. I've got all the honors I can get here, and I'm very happy. But my heart tells me, Ann, you really need to rest. ”
An Jie's picture at the press conference was broadcast by the news network 1510. After that, An Jie said a lot, but Yao Ming didn't listen to a word.
Looking at An Jie, who was saying goodbye word by word, Yao Ming suddenly had a lot of things flashing in his mind. This is the career of a professional footballer, so brilliant and yet so short.
"Hurry up and make a special program for me! Yes! Be fast, and ensure quality!"
"I don't care what method you use, you must get An Jie's interview! You just kneel down and beg him, and you have to get it for me!"
"Don't be busy printing tomorrow's newspapers! Leave as much space for me as possible!"
The whole world has been made to jump by the news announced by An Jie.
It's daytime in the United States at the moment, and the Trail Blazers don't have a game today. But he came to the training hall of Anjie Center early, holding a basketball and standing in the center of the court.
All the breath here...... Angel really wants to remember them as much as possible. Fans, reporters and An Jie's friends are reluctant to let him go, so how can An Jie himself?
