It's been a few days since the Trail Blazers won another NBA championship, but the wave of championships seems to be far from over.

The Trail Blazers players were invited to participate in the recording of various television programs because of the popularity of the championship. Of course, the commercial contracts one after another also made the Trail Blazers players sign softly.

Even George Ricard, a coach, received an endorsement invitation from Armani's suit brand. This is quite rare in the head coach industry.

As for An Jie, this guy is living a very idle life. The bonus given to Anjie by Nike after winning the championship alone was enough for him to sit back and relax all summer. Therefore, in order to spend more time with Catherine, Anjie entrusted Moslav to refuse all business activities in the near future. Even Spike Lee's invitation to collaborate with An Jie on a documentary for the second time was politely declined by An Jie.

In the past summer, Anjie was running around almost every day. But this year, he just wants to be at home with Catherine, that's all.

※※※

The morning sun is not too dazzling, and the mild temperature makes this breakfast extra refreshing.

The streets of the wealthy Lekoswagg neighborhood are often not crowded with pedestrians. On holiday mornings, it's even quieter.

However, at this time, there is a young couple holding hands, walking slowly down the clean street of the rich area. At this time, the malls were not yet open, and the entire city of Portland had not fully woken up. But what Angel and Catherine need is this quiet atmosphere.

"Are you tired?" As he walked, An Jie asked his wife beside him. They have been far from home all the way.

"Of course not, don't think that pregnant women have to stay in bed. Let's go, I haven't seen the area around my house yet. Catherine smiled at An Jie, no matter how young she was, Catherine's smile would make An Jie's heart beat faster.

"Oh......"

"What a blessing......"

"Bless you, Ann ......"

As Anjie and Catherine get closer to the business district of Lake Oswag, there are more and more pedestrians on the street. All those who saw An Jie sent their blessings. An Jie didn't put on a show, but smiled and nodded at people. His polite appearance now is really difficult for people to associate with the image of "the villain on the court". In Portland, you don't know the mayor, but Anjie, absolutely everyone knows him.

Now on the billboard of the building opposite Anjie, there is still a huge poster taken by Nike for Anjie. And such huge posters abound in Portland. Even if you don't watch basketball, as long as you go around the street, you will know Anjie.

So, when passers-by saw Anjie and Catherine on the street, they were very excited. While there are plenty of stars in Lakeo's Wag district, no one is bigger than Anjie in Portland.

It is worth mentioning that although passers-by have stopped to stare at An Jie and his wife, some even picked up their mobile phones to take pictures. But no one came up to disturb them.

The most pedestrians can do is send a sincere wish, take a photo, and leave. After all, this beautiful time for the two of them will not bear to interrupt it.

"That's good. Sucking in the morning sun, Catherine, who was holding her arm, suddenly grinned.

"What's so good?"

"It's nice to live like this. You don't have to worry about the competition, I don't have to worry about Fashion Week. We are like ordinary couples, living peacefully in the city. ”

"Don't worry, Catherine, when I retire, we'll have time to live like this. ”

Catherine turned her head to stare at Angel, her clear blue eyes seemed to have sunlight flickering and flowing. "But I also want you to keep playing, you fight the court, and I cheer for you off the court. I also want you to always be there for me, whether you play or not, I want that. I hope we never quarrel and have a healthy and beautiful baby, we all love him and he loves us too. Then, you can't play the ball anymore, and I can't continue to go on stage, and we're growing old together like this......" Catherine blushed suddenly. "Hehe, am I a little greedy? ”

"Don't be greedy at all, don't worry, Catherine, the life of your dreams will all come true. ”

The husband and wife walked for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they turned around and went home. Today is June 23rd, An Jie's 25th birthday. Although An Jie invited a lot of maids to Zhang Luo's birthday party, An Jie's parents and Catherine's father were also helping. But this kind of thing still has to be done by yourself.

So, after a quiet and sweet morning, Mr. and Mrs. Anjie had to prepare for the afternoon party. This afternoon, Anjie's originally spacious villa and yard will definitely become crowded.

Durant, Morris, Westbrook, Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Taylor, Paul George...... All these big names who are not in Portland or even in the United States will land at Portland International Airport today. Moreover, this group of people did not come alone, they must have dragged their families with them.

When he first came to the United States, An Jie didn't dare to think that when he celebrated his birthday, there would be so many people to celebrate him. And these are quite famous.

By the time Angel and Catherine returned home, the kitchen was busy and the courtyard had been set up in a decent manner. Yao Ming was too busy to leave this year, so he gave An Jie a five-story birthday cake to congratulate him. And at this moment, this huge cake has also been moved to the courtyard and has become the focus of the entire courtyard.

"How's that boy, I'm satisfied!" the bearded man walked out of the kitchen proudly with a cigarette in his mouth, and when it came to holding a banquet, he was the best at opening a restaurant. However, speaking of which, Anjie can now be regarded as opening a restaurant......

"Hehe, take a break, it's been hard these days. ”

"Where, it's right to be busy for your birthday! Let me tell you, the ingredients we used to cook today, but your parents and I carefully selected them from China, are absolutely authentic! Even if you search all over Oregon, you can't find such good materials. The bearded man smiled proudly, this guy's confidence in cooking is the same as when An Jie was on the basketball court.

Everything is almost ready, and now it's time for the guests to come and visit. Meanwhile, in Portland, fans spontaneously celebrated Anjie's birthday. The mayor of Portland even spoke on the midday news: "Happy birthday to Portland's heroes. ”

Anjie brought Portland far more than just two O'Brien Cups, he also directly pulled Portland's connection with China, countless Chinese began to pour into the city, and Portland also became the second largest American city with Chinese tourists after Los Angeles.

It's no wonder that the mayor of Portland values Anjie so much, the appearance of this guy can be said to have directly improved the economy of Portland. Anjie's influence in Portland is even greater than Yao Ming's influence in Houston back then.

After noon, all the guests invited by AnJie were also present. Lillard was the first to arrive, and this guy hasn't been anywhere in the past few days, just in Portland. From his house to An Jie's house, the opening was only ten minutes.

After that, Durant, Westbrook and Morris arrived at the same time. Although Ibaka did not arrive, Towestbrook brought a gift to Anjie.

Of course, outside the star-studded villa, journalists' films have been murdered. A birthday party can gather a whole bunch of NBA stars, and this kind of thing in Portland may be the only thing in a year.

It's a pity that all journalists can only take pictures outside the gate. Anjie has hired a lot of security guards to guard the surroundings, and this is a private party, and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

There is one journalist who is an exception, though. Not only can this guy take pictures, but he can also swagger into the yard with his camera. The treatment of this guy made all reporters envious.

There is no doubt that only Wu Hua, Anjie's royal reporter, has this face in the world. After all, if it weren't for Wu Hua back then, maybe Chinese wouldn't know who An Jie was.

As time went on, more and more guests came. And the further back it goes, it seems to be a bigger name. The reporters kept pressing the shutter, and their mouths couldn't close at all. Even Olajuwon and Mutombo are here, and God knows if Jordan will show up later!

As it turned out, Old Man Joe really didn't land in Portland. After all, An Jie and Jordan don't have much contact, and the two may not have said more than ten words in person, so they are not acquaintances. But even so, it still can't hide the bright stars of this gathering.

When everyone had almost arrived, the waiters began to serve the food. One by one, the Chinese dishes that these stars had never seen before were brought to the table, and everyone salivated. Of course, there are still a few guys who are not used to eating Chinese food. For example, old Miller, eating with chopsticks seemed to him to be an incredible thing.

But An Jie and the others did not consider this situation, so An Jie also transferred a few chefs from his steak house and also made a few Western dishes. In short, this feast is a combination of East and West, which can satisfy everyone's appetite.

After everyone watched An Jie clumsily cut the cake, the banquet had officially begun. Some people lingered in front of the delicious dishes, while others chatted around with wine glasses. Some are dancing to the music, while others are showing off their bodies in the swimming pool of An Jie's house.

This kind of American-style family gathering is usually unpretentious, and everyone just gets together and has a good time.

Of course, An Jie is still the protagonist today. Everyone will come up with wine and toast An Jie. If it weren't for the small wine glass of An Jie's family, it is estimated that this tall guy would have been unconscious.

"Hey, Ann, Happy Birthday to you!" Paul George walked up alone with a glass after seeing off Aldridge's mother and son, who had come to toast him.

"Thank you, George. An Jie smiled and clinked glasses with George, this guy was one of the more special friends of An Jie. He has neither been teammates with An Jie, nor has he trained with An Jie. But it was during the time when they were enemies of each other that the two formed a friendship.

An Jie is regarded by George as a guide, and George is also treated by An Jie as a little brother. After drinking, the two chatted casually. What is the baby's situation, the arrangement of the holiday, etc.

I thought that the plain and relaxed chat would continue like this, but An Jie's words made George suddenly stunned.

"Huh?" said George, thinking he had misheard.

"I mean, have you ever thought about joining the Trail Blazers? An Jie looked at George with a grin, not knowing if this guy was serious or joking.

"Hahaha, I've only been on my new contract for a year, Ann. George quickly prevaricated this question, because his heart was actually a little touched!

"Yes, yes......" An Jie did not continue to ask, but at least, An Jie also knew George's attitude.

Maybe one day, I will really join forces with this guy, maybe I can......

The birthday party continues, not only for Anjie's home, but for the whole of Portland, all of them are partying for Anjie.

In a blink of an eye, he is already 25 years old, and his career is one year less. How long can he still fight? An Jie didn't know. But he knows that at the age of 25, he has almost entered a golden age.

Then, I hope that my career will continue to go smoothly, my friends will always be together, my relatives will be safe, my legs will cause less trouble for myself, and the Trail Blazers can get a good result next year...... Heck, if you accidentally make so many wishes, the old man must be too busy.

Anyway, for the coming year, all is well!

Under the clear blue sky, countless people are partying above the land of the City of Roses. The hero of Portland unloads his armor and lays down his weapon.

He picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. City of Roses...... I have to continue to protect myself......
