After a frenzied night of tossing and turning, Portland's rose city finally ushered in a brief lull in the early morning. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

NBA championship, this is an honor that Anjie couldn't have imagined when he came to the United States to study.

An Jie, who was exhausted, was awakened by the strong sunlight, he opened his hazy eyes, and the view of Portland outside the window made him feel that his heart, which had been tense for most of the year, was finally relaxed.

The O'Brien Cup, the Bill Russell FMVP Trophy, the crazy dressing room and, of course, the surprise proposal. Thinking about everything that happened yesterday, An Jie couldn't help but laugh. Happiness struck suddenly, and it was definitely the happiest night in An Jie's life.

Before he could taste enough, An Jie's phone rang suddenly. An Jie, who is in a good mood, will not complain that someone calls him early in the morning, not to mention that the person who called is still his good friend Wu Hua.

"What's the matter, Angkor, doing the interview so early?" An Jie's voice sounded very energetic.

"Don't be in a hurry for the interview, hey, you know kid, you just got on the news network. Wu Hua looked at the news sent back from China, at the end of the news broadcast just now, the picture of An Jie and his teammates lifting the O'Brien Cup occupied 1 minute and 30 seconds of the program, and now, the news of An Jie's victory is well known throughout China. Even ordinary people who don't care about sports competitions know who An Jie is and what kind of achievements An Jie has achieved.

"News Network?" An Jie felt that this term was a little unfamiliar, since coming to the United States, An Jie had never watched this "big TV series".

"News Network!" An Jie suddenly smiled again, he remembered what kind of program this familiar and unfamiliar word was. The last time a Chinese basketball player was on the news was when Yao Ming retired.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it. It seems that when I return to China in the future, it will be even more difficult to move an inch. An Jie scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Don't worry about the country for now, when are you going to start the championship parade?" chatting and chatting, Wu Hua began to do his old job again.

"The plan is that tomorrow, the city government has to prepare the venue and the road for the parade. Call...... I really don't know what it will be like that day. An Jie began to meditate in his mind, in the past, he could only watch the video of other people's championship parades with envy during his vacation, but this time he wanted to participate in person, An Jie was really excited.

"Enjoy your moment, Ann, I won't bother you. Hey, your wedding to Catherine...... Feel free to invite me, I will only participate as a friend. ”

"Hahahaha, it's okay, I don't block reporters!"

Just a phone call gave Anjie a good start to his new day. Looking at the phone again, hundreds of text messages have been stuffed in.

Teammates of the national team, friends of the Basketball Association, Thunder team, Yao Ming, Nike, reward notice...... An Jie patiently read these blessing messages one by one, he is very grateful to everyone, these guys are indispensable partners on his growth path.

Take An Jie's national team teammate Wang Zhizhi as an example, if An Jie, who was young back then, hadn't met Wang Zhizhi, maybe he would never know how to be a leader.

So, don't underestimate anyone. It is the small help of these people to Anjie that has created Anjie's greatness now.

On this day, Anjie and his girlfriend, no, should now call his fiancée and Morris and others, play Portland all over.

These people have traveled thousands of miles to support themselves in the finals, and it is time for Anjie to give back to them.

No training, no pressure, no James, no sense of crisis. This is the most relaxed and enjoyable day Anjie has had in so many years. In the past few years, during the holidays, An Jie would go into training early because of his unwillingness to fail. But this year, he can indulge a little for a few days. After all, this season, he An Jie is the biggest winner. Now, he's the man at the top of the NBA.

Best Defensive Player, Best Defensive First Team, Best First Team, Regular Season and Finals MVP, and, of course, most importantly, NBA championship. won the award and got a soft hand, which is Anjie's state this season.

After returning home in the evening, Angel and Catherine also discussed the wedding with their respective parents. Because Anjie and Catherine are very busy and hard at work, the two also plan to get married this summer.

In a few days, Anjie and Catherine will both be 24 years old. Getting married at this age is by no means early.

Once the date is chosen, Anjie will inform Moslav to arrange everything for him. It's not that Anjie is lazy, it's that Moslav is too versatile. Whether it's inside or outside basketball, as long as you need it, Moslav can meet it.

The happy day ended with the decision to make the wedding, and although both parents were in the house that night, the two young people, who were burning with firewood and strong feelings, could no longer bear it.

Anjie locked the door and lingered with Catherine until late at night. It felt like he hadn't slept long before Anjie had to get up and join the team for today's grand championship parade.

"I mean, what the did you guys do yesterday!" When Ricard met the players at the gate of the Rose Garden, the brave warriors who had been on the pitch the day before yesterday were sleepy-eyed today.

"Hehe, anyway, I won't be doing assault training today. So yesterday, drank a few more glasses. Lillard laughed and scratched his head.

"I don't care what you did yesterday, in front of the fans later, give me some spirits!" Riding picked up the championship trophy as he watched the open-top double-decker buses come slowly as they were decorated. Now, it's time to feel the enthusiasm of the fans!

"Oh, my, god!" When An Jie climbed to the second floor of the bus, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.

Throughout the city of Portland, almost every cranny was filled by avid fans, except for the route of the double-decker bus.

300,000 fans crammed into every corner of the city, tirelessly yelling. Amateur and professional photographers alike brought their cameras to keep this spectacular scene alive in the world. Black and dark red T-horns fluttered in the sky, people whistled, and children blew their horns.

The 2013 Portland Trail Blazers championship parade has officially begun!

The double-decker bus moved forward slowly, and the enthusiasm of the fans rushed to the face, almost knocking An Jie to the ground.

Before you know it, everyone is infected by this frenetic atmosphere. The players yelled and shouted at the fans on both sides of the street.

Even from the balcony of a tall building, you can hear screams. The children waved the slogan "We love you, Anjie!"

"It's a great moment!" Anjie smiled and put his hand on Ricard's shoulder.

"This is just the beginning, boy!" Ricard said, tossing an Angel jersey into the crowd.

Anjie began to lift the hard-won O'Brien Cup and kept thanking the fans. Suddenly, the MVP's shouts rang out throughout Portland. The Rose Garden Arena can only accommodate about 20,000 people at most, but on the streets, the shouts of the fans are incomparable to 20,000 people.

Anjie felt like his eardrums were about to burst, and it had been more than half an hour since he lifted the O'Brien Cup. But at the moment, nothing will make An Jie feel tired. Fighting for a group of people who love themselves is the most worthwhile!

"For this moment, we have been dreaming of this for 35 years!" reporters from various TV stations also shouted passionately at the scene, this hard-won carnival moment is worth making everyone stare at the hot sun crazy all day.

When 71-year-old Lucia came by on the bus, she held up a sign that said, "Marry me, Anjie." ”

Her wife was beside her, but the old man was not angry. He knew it was just a fan frenzy.

The fans clapped and cheered until the parade bus took three hours to reach its destination——— this is the City of Champions, unique, proud, and full of joy!

Near Portland's famous Chinese Garden, the city government has set up temporary seating and staging there. The Trail Blazers players will be there to give presentations and wrap up this crazy summer day.

As for why the location was chosen in China Garden, of course, it was all because of Anjie. This is the only place in Portland where there is a Chinese element and enough to be spacious and beautiful.

The mayor of Portland spoke first, thanking Anjie for bringing a long-lost honor to the city. Of course, a photo of all the members of the Trail Blazers and the management of the City of Portland is also essential.

After that, Trail Blazers general manager Nell Orsi spoke second.

In his speech, Orsi expressed his pride in being able to manage the Trailblazers. Of course, he spent the most time in Anjie's recruitment process.

"At the beginning, my decision was scolded by countless people, but look at what Anjie has brought us now!" As soon as Orsi's voice fell, the atmosphere of the scene climaxed again.

Everyone spoke one by one, and two rookies, Lillard and Meyers Leonard, thanked Anjie for helping them grow.

Fischer expressed his admiration for Anjie and said that he enjoyed his time playing in Portland. He couldn't believe he could get a championship ring in the final year of his career. That's right, the last year, because after that, Fischer used this stage to officially announce that he would retire from the Trail Blazers, ending his 17-year career as a professional player.

Aldridge, along with Iguodala and Batum, told a lot of interesting things about the locker room. Of course, most of these things are related to Anjie.

No matter who speaks, no matter what his topic is. Anjie is always the guy who can't be bypassed.

In the end, it was Anjie's turn to play in the finale. When he took the microphone, the cheers of the audience reached their peak.

"Thank you!" As soon as An Jie came up, he bowed to the fans first.

"Without you, the Trailblazers wouldn't be where they are today! I'm glad to be here to play. Fighting side by side with you is the greatest luck of my life. ”

An Jie is not trying to please the fans, everything he says comes from the heart. Fans are always the strongest backing for the players.

An Jie's speech lasted for a long time, and he really had so much to say in his stomach. But An Jie's last words made the NBA league, which was gradually subsiding, irritable again.

"This is the second NBA championship trophy in the history of the Trail Blazers, and it is also the first time in the 21st century that Portland has hosted a championship parade! But believe me, guys, I will bring more glory to Portland in the days to come! This will not be the last!"

Anjie's confident speech made Portland fans excited.

The second, the third, the establishment of a dynasty, as long as An Jie is here, these are not impossible.

The Trail Blazers' O'Brien Cup has brought breath-taking joy to the city, and the summer of 2013 is destined to belong only to Anjie and his Portland Trail Blazers......
