Chapter 642: Noble Banquet

30 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 70% from 14 of 20 shots. Sadies Young can be said to have played his best game of the season. If there was no Angel in this world, Sadies Young would definitely lead the 76ers to amaze and become a hit.

But unfortunately, there is no if in this world...

101 to 116, even though Sadies Young showed a superstar performance, even Turner, who was tepid on weekdays, scored 23 points. Even though McAve contributed 16 points and 9 assists, the Philadelphia 76ers still lost to North Portland with a huge gap of 15 points.

32 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks, which is the answer given to the fans in the New Year's Day battle. Even Robin Lopez scored an exaggerated double-double of 15 points, 14 rebounds in a limited time, which shows how the 76ers' inside line was ripped into.

However, what fans talked about the most today was not Anjie's super data, nor the 76ers' tenacious resistance. The most impressive scene in the whole game was undoubtedly the scene where Anjie provoked Sadies Yang and Sadies Yang at the last moment but did not dare to face the challenge.

Wu Hua recorded Anjie's arrogant provocation and Sadies and Yang's nervous expressions in the reporter area. There is no doubt that the comparison of this set of pictures will be one of the classic photos of Anjie's career.

Because of this, one of the best players in this game, Saidis Young, quickly returned to the player channel after the game.

He can't continue to stay on this court. As long as he stands here for an extra second, Sadies and Yang will be wrapped in a huge sense of shame.

Indeed, when the outcome has been decided, in the last 15 seconds, Sadies and Yang did not need to go forward to fight. This will also become an excuse for Yang to respond to reporters' questions later.

But Yang knew in his heart that he hadn't faced the battle just now because he really didn't dare to go forward to face the battle...

Since the fourth quarter, Angel defended Sadies Young alone, Sadies Young has been living in hell.

People are usually impressed by Anjie's ability to protect the frame, but in fact, when Anjie walked out of the penalty area, his defense was still very good.

"You are so fucking handsome guy, you snatched all the limelight again!" Aldridge hugged Anjie happily. The scene of Anger holding the ball in one hand just now made Aldridge unable to help but follow the fans to cheer.

Where is An Jie? He is smiling and celebrating the victory with his teammates, and it seems that he is different from the cold-blooded butcher just now. It seems that this guy's attitude towards his teammates and opponents are really two extremes...

The post-match press conference was naturally quite lively. Although the Trail Blazers' third consecutive game in three days has begun, the reporters' enthusiasm for the Trail Blazers has increased.

Even the Trail Blazers' chief press officer was amazed at the appeal of the New Year's Day battle. Seeing a lot of yellow-skinned and dark-haired faces sitting in the media reception room, the chief press officer was really uncomfortable.

No, it is better to say that Anjie has a strong appeal than Anjie. Without Anjie, the New Year's Day war would have lost its meaning. This special event arrangement was completely tailored by David Stern for Anjie and the Chinese market behind him.

Anjie's current influence in the league can be seen!

"Mr. An, do you think your actions against Sadies Yang in the last 15 seconds of this game are a provocation?" The press conference was held for a long time before a reporter finally dared to stand up and ask An Jie this question.

"Yang is one of the best players in today's game. I did that, just hope to play another round with the best player in the last time." An Jie did not avoid this question, and his answer seemed to be reasonable.

"So how did you comment on Sadies Young not responding to such a situation?"

"How to comment? It's normal that he didn't come out to face the game, because the outcome of the game has been decided, so there is no need for him to do this." On the court, Anjie showed no mercy. But off the court, Anjie still gave Saidis and Yang a little face. He didn't need to do this. What a good excuse. Since the game is so miserable, then off the court, Anjie should "cooperate" with Saidis and Yang a little.

Seeing that An Jie was so mature in dealing with the media, Wu Hua below also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that An Jie has not only made significant progress on the basketball court, but also a lot of mature under the basketball court. In answering reporters' questions, An Jie is even more experienced than Jiang who buried the deepest.

The press conference ended successfully, and with the cooperation of Anger, Saidis Young and the 76ers were able to leave Portland's Rose City with the last fig leaf.

Before the game, the 76ers players also hoped to use the New Year's Day battle to make a big fuse. But if possible, the 76ers would definitely write a letter to David Stern, begging the president of the league to stop letting them play such a special game with the Trail Blazers...

※※※

On the first day of 2014, although it was a back-to-back battle, Anjie and the Trail Blazers finally made a good start for their New Year with a victory.

On the evening of January 2 the next day, Anjie and his teammates no longer sweated and practiced more in training suits, but were all wearing suits and tie. They were invited by the Mayor of Portland to attend the New Year banquet at the Municipal Hall.

Everyone from the Trail Blazers has become the symbol and pride of the city of Portland. It can be said that without them, the economy and popularity of the city of Portland might have been affected.

It is precisely because of this that the mayor attaches so much importance to these players. This party that originally belonged to politicians and celebrities was forced into this group of "big and rough".

However, at the banquet, everyone respected An Jie and the others very much. The ages are different, and professional athletes are very popular everywhere now.

An Jie was not very comfortable at the banquet. Compared to enjoying the endless snacks and drinks in a suit and tie, An Jie hoped to sweat on the training ground.

But there is no way, this is an invitation from the mayor. If you don’t come, it would be too disrespectful to the mayor. An Jie still understands the basic way of dealing with people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to do so well in the United States.

The air-conditioned banquet hall made An Jie feel a little bored. After looking around, An Jie wiped the sweat from his forehead and decided to find a quiet place to breathe.

It seems that the balcony in the banquet hall is a good choice. Anjie walked through the crowd and walked towards the balcony with a glass of alcohol-free cocktail.

Pushing open the door of the banquet hall, on the huge balcony, a row of violinists were playing string serenades in G major. Looking at all around, coupled with this gorgeous and solemn song, Anjie felt as if he had traveled back to the Middle Ages, and he was now attending a banquet of a certain noble.

He nodded to the violinists with approval, and Anjie leaned on the fence on the balcony with a wine glass.

Under the town hall, the snowy Portland still looks lifelike. However, on the streets on New Year's Day, you can easily see a lot of Chinese elements.

Lanterns, Chinese characters, Chinese style billboards... These things have become a normal state in Portland, and An Jie himself is the one who makes these things normal.

Just as Anjie was enjoying the night view of Portland alone, a magnetic sound suddenly burst out from Anjie's back.

"Mr. An, can you delay your time for a few minutes?"

An Jie should accept it and turn his head, but An Jie didn't know the guy in front of him at all.

The man standing in front of An Jie is of medium figure, with a meticulous American grease head, wearing a expensive suit, and the blue eyes behind the glasses seem to be full of wisdom, and these eyes seem to be able to see through everything.

Judging from this outfit, this guy is not a reporter. Besides, the banquet held by the mayor is not something that journalists can come in at will.

"Sir, who are you?" An Jie asked politely.

"My name is Edward Mondais, and I hope we can talk about it." The man politely handed over the business card.

Anjie glanced at the business card and it turned out that this guy was the owner of Mondes Steakhouse in Portland. Mondes Steakhouse is quite famous in Portland and has 5 branches. Anjie also went here for a meal once or twice, and the taste was good.

"It turns out it's Boss Mondise. I like your steak." Anjie smiled intimately.

"It's a great honor for you to like our products, Mr. Ann."

"So, what's wrong with Mr. Mondise looking for me?" Anger could see that Mondise was not just trying to get to know himself.

"Actually, I hope to discuss business cooperation with Mr. An." Mondais said, walking to An Jie.

"Cooperation?" Anjie also signed a lot of commercial contracts, but he has never encountered such things as endorsing steak restaurants. Besides, can this guy Mondeis really afford high endorsement fees? You know, Mondeis' assets are not on the same level as international companies such as Nike and Gatorade.

"Yes, cooperation. My steakhouse is quite good in Portland, but I hope to expand this restaurant nationwide, or even globally. But I can't do it with myself. So..."

"Mr. Mondace might as well say it."

"So, I sincerely invite Mr. An, you to invest. With your financial resources and fame, plus my steak, I believe that we can create a business miracle together!" Mondise stared at An Jie with anticipation.

"Invest in shares!" An Jie's expression became surprised. For a long time, the commercial activities in An Jie's mind were undoubtedly signing contracts, endorsements, signing contracts, completing commercial promotions, signing contracts, and shooting advertisements...

But An Jie never thought about investing in, investing, being a boss before.

It seems that this dinner that is incompatible with me tonight does not seem to have nothing to gain...

"I think we have to have a good talk with my manager, Mr. Meslav," Angel raised his glass to Mondece, and the two of them drank the cocktail close to the drink in one gulp with a smile.
