An Jie completed the lore, this was a happy day. But today, no one can laugh. Especially in Portland, these days have been completely in the shadows.

One of the favorite players of countless people, on this great day, suddenly announced that he would retire after this season, and this lore is likely to be the last lore of his career. Although An Jie is not retiring today, the day of his retirement is not far away. The fans are now fingers crossing, day by day.

The day after An Jie announced his retirement, the official website of the Trail Blazers and An Jie's Twitter and Weibo exploded directly.

Countless fans rushed into these sites, saying in different languages: "Please don't leave!"

The video of An Jie's interview when he announced his retirement has skyrocketed in the number of hits on the Internet. Even some big men are in tears while watching the video.

The media began to frantically rummage through the highlights of Anjie's career, and the most common phrase seen in newspapers and news websites was: "An era is coming to an end." ”

Wu Hua is undoubtedly the saddest of all the reporters, and since Anjie's obscurity, Wu Hua has been following him in Ames City. It can be said that it was An Jie who made Wu Hua's career as a sports journalist. Now, this guy who has been with him all the way is leaving.

This reporter, who has been on An Jie's side from beginning to end and has been with him like a good brother for 16 years, is about to say goodbye to his best buddy.

At this juncture, Wu Hua couldn't write an article. As long as this guy thinks of Anjie's career, he will always be in a daze. After a few hours, I found that there was always no touch. Because looking back at An Jie's career is also equivalent to looking at Wu Hua's own career.

Although Wu Hua was unable to hand over the results for a long time, it was not easy to urge in the newspaper, so Wu Hua would let him drag it. Because the club believes that only the articles written by Wu Hua are the most flavorful and can best reflect An Jie's entire career.

Wu Hua is the only journalist in the world who can do this.

In addition to the fans, there are naturally many people within the NBA who have made their voices heard.

'People always say he's got a lot of fighting spirit, but in fact, he's more fighting than people think! I like him and everything he shows on and off the pitch. This is a passage posted by Kobe Bryant on his Twitter, with a picture of Anjie covering himself.

You know, this is a competitive and paranoid Kobe. It's not easy to get him to praise someone with a photo of himself being covered. There is no doubt that Anjie conquered not only the fans, but also superstars like Kobe.

"Ann is the greatest player in the world, yes, the greatest center forward is not enough to describe him. The biggest regret of my career is that I haven't been able to beat him once. Bless you, buddy. As for James, who was defeated by An Jie again and again, he also expressed his views on An Jie's retirement. This guy not only did not hold a grudge, but also gave An Jie a high evaluation.

James thought that after joining the NBA, he would usher in an era of his own. Unexpectedly, another guy changed all that.

As for the active players, after every game, someone will always come forward to take a photo and hug Anjie. Although they are opponents on the pitch, in private, the players are more than willing to send the legend away.

The most bombastic game was the Trail Blazers' away game against the Thunder before the All-Star break.

After the game that day, all the players of the Thunder team stood in a row and hugged An Jie one by one. Fans at the Chesapeake Energy Arena put up signs that read "Welcome Home." Even the Oklahoman hasn't forgotten Anjie's brief time here. Even if it's only been three years, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who once had the legend, feels like glory.

The moment Westbrook hugged Anjie, his eyes suddenly flushed. The images of the two fighting in the NCAA March Madness Tournament are still vivid, but now, Anjie is about to leave the court. This damn guy said he was going to win the championship together......

As for the All-Star Game, this All-Star Game has completely become an exclusive event for An Jie. Most of the fans who came to watch the game came for Anjie's last All-Star.

At the All-Star Game, An Jie appeared at the same time with his wife and children more than once. Looking at this happy family, it's no wonder that An Jie wants to accompany them well.

After the All-Star Game, all the star players who participated in the game recorded a video of wishing Anjie a blessing. All this, BA is not only a cold battlefield, but also full of human touch in this battlefield.

After the All-Star break, the Trail Blazers' results rose steadily. Everyone wants to bid farewell to the heroes of this team with the best possible results. Although the current Trail Blazers with an older roster want to win the championship, the possibility is not great. But the players are still working hard, they just want to fight with Anjie for this last season.

In the end, the Trail Blazers entered the playoffs with a 51-31 record and the third place in the West.

During the playoffs, as long as it is a game for the Trail Blazers, it will definitely be full and the ratings will explode. Although Anjie is about to retire, he has not relaxed himself on the field. This guy is still the same as before, doing his best!

An Jie's opponents also gave him the greatest respect. This does not mean that others will release water in the game, but as always, they will strictly guard Anjie. Besides, a center who can still average 17.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, who would dare to let him go?

In the first round of the playoffs, Anjie led the team to defeat the Clippers again. Although the Clippers are very different from those days now, Anjie still has a sense of accomplishment. At least I've never lost against the Clippers!

In the second round, the Trail Blazers faced the powerful Los Angeles Lakers. Ingram and Lonzo Ball have restored the Purple and Gold to their former glory, and this year, the Lakers are aiming for a championship. The aging Trail Blazers are not a stepping stone for the Lakers at all.

However, the tenacity of the Trail Blazers and Anjie exceeded all expectations. An Jie would rather fall down again and again, and get up again and again, and never give in half a step.

Known as "Little Maurice", Julius Randall is not a good stubble, and his impact will always make people sweat for Anjie. However, the 36-year-old veteran dragged the injured leg and blew up the Lakers' interior line.

In Angel's words, this guy is hard working and physical, but he's still far from Morris.

In the end, the Lakers and Trail Blazers fought to the tiebreaker. In the decisive battle, Anjie turned the tide, scored a game-high 33 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and sent 4 blocks, helping the Trail Blazers narrowly defeat the Lakers by only three points and successfully advance to the Western Conference Finals.

I don't know if it's God's arrangement, but in the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers met Anjie's old club, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who was in his heyday.

The Thunder have two popular young stars in the premise of having Westbrook as an old guy. They finished the regular season with 69 wins, the highest in the league. The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious.

In the playoffs, the Thunder, who are eager to win the championship, will not show mercy to An Jie because he is a veteran of the former Thunder team.

They won two home games cleanly, followed by a win on the road. In an instant, the playoff aggregate was 3-1. Everyone knows that Anjie's remaining games are probably running out.

No matter how reluctant the fans are, this legendary finale may have to be staged in the near future.

This night, An Jie stayed for training again after many years. In his last few games, An Jie hopes to draw a successful end for himself.

This is where the dream begins, and where the dream ends.

"Bang, bang, bang........" The sound of basketball colliding with the hardwood floor in the training arena of the Chesapeake Energy Arena is once again intertwined into a beautiful song......

An Jie glanced at the rebound and threw the ball seriously. This time, really, it's time to say goodbye.
