It has been several days since the Trail Blazers won the NBA championship again, but this championship wave seems to be far from over.

Because of the popularity of the championship, the players of the Trail Blazers were invited to participate in the recording of various TV programs. Of course, those commercial contracts after another also made the players of the Trail Blazers sign in.

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

As for Anjie, this guy lives a very leisurely life. The bonus given to Anjie by Nike after winning the championship was enough to make him rest assured throughout the summer. Therefore, in order to spend more time with Catherine, Anjie entrusted Meslav to refuse all commercial activities in the near future. Even the invitation to Spike Li Xiang and Anjie to work together for the second time in the documentary was politely rejected by Anjie.

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

※※※

The morning sun is not dazzling, and the soft temperatures make this breakfast particularly refreshing.

There are often not many pedestrians on the streets of the wealthy district of Lake Oswag. On holiday mornings, it seems to be quieter.

However, at this time, a young couple walked slowly on the clean streets of the Rich District. At this time, shopping malls were not open yet, and the entire city of Portland had not yet fully awakened. However, what Angel and Catherine needed was this quiet atmosphere.

"Are you tired?" As she walked, An Jie asked his wife. They were already far away from home along the way.

"Of course not. Don't think that pregnant women must rest in bed. Let's go, I haven't visited the area near my home yet." Catherine smiled at Anjie. No matter how many years have passed, Anjie's smile will make Anjie's heart beat faster.

"oh......"

“How happy…”

"I wish you peace..."

As Anger and Catherine got closer to the commercial area of ​​Lake Oswag, there were more and more pedestrians on the street. Everyone who saw Anger sent their blessings. Anger did not put on airs, but smiled and nodded at people. His polite appearance now makes it difficult for people to associate him with the image of "the evil man on the court". In Portland, you may not know the mayor, but Anger definitely knows him.

Now on the billboard of the building opposite Anjie, there is a huge poster taken by Nike for Anjie. Such huge posters are everywhere in Portland. Even if you don’t watch basketball, you will know Anjie as long as you go around the streets.

So, when the travelers saw Angel and Catherine appearing on the street, they were all very excited. Although there are many stars in Lake Oswag, no one in Portland can be more famous than Angel.

It is worth mentioning that although the pedestrians stopped and stared at the Angels and his wife, some even picked up their phones and took photos. But no one came to disturb them.

At most, travelers send a sincere blessing. If you take a photo, you will leave. After all, you will not have the heart to break the time between the two of them.

"It's great." Catherine, who was sucking in the morning sun and holding her arm, suddenly grinned.

"What's so good?"

"It's great to have such a life. You don't have to worry about competitions, I don't have to worry about fashion week. We live peacefully in this city like ordinary couples."

"Don't worry, Katherine, after I retire, we have time to live this kind of life."

Catherine turned her head and stared at Anger. There seemed to be sunlight flashing in her clear blue eyes. "But I also hope you will continue to play. You are fighting on the court, and I will shout for you off the court. I also hope you will always be by my side. Whether you play or not, I hope this will happen. I hope we will never quarrel. There is a healthy and beautiful baby. We all love him very much, and he loves us very much. Then, you can't play the ball anymore, and I can't continue to go on stage. We will grow old together slowly..." Catherine suddenly blushed. "Hehe, am I a little greedy."

"Not greedy at all, don't worry, Catherine, all your dream life will come true."

The couple walked for a while and saw that the time was almost over, so they turned around and went home. Today is June 23, Anjie's 25th birthday. Although Anjie invited many servants to organize birthday parties, Anjie's parents and Katherine's father were also helping. But this kind of thing is better to do it yourself.

So, after a quiet and sweet morning, the Angels and his wife were about to prepare for the afternoon party. This afternoon, the originally spacious villa and yard of Angels would definitely become crowded.

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

When Anjie first came to the United States, he didn't dare to think that so many people would come to celebrate his birthday. Moreover, the names of those who came were quite big.

When Anjie and Catherine returned home, the kitchen was already busy and the courtyard was already well-decorated. Yao Ming was too busy to leave this year, so he gave Anjie a five-story birthday cake to congratulate him. At this moment, the huge cake had been moved to the courtyard and became the focus of the entire courtyard.

"How about a boy! Are you satisfied!" The bearded man walked out of the kitchen with a cigarette in his mouth. He was the best at holding a banquet. But speaking of it, An Jie can now be regarded as a restaurant owner...

"Hehe, take a break, thank you for your hard work these days."

"If you don't know, I'm going to celebrate your birthday, it's time to be busy! Let me tell you, the ingredients we use today for cooking, but the ingredients we carefully selected from China and my parents, are absolutely authentic! Even if you search all over Oregon, you can't find such excellent ingredients." The bearded man smiled proudly. This guy's confidence in cooking was just like Anjie when he was on the basketball court.

Everything was almost ready, and now we were waiting for the guests to visit. At the same time, in Portland, fans spontaneously celebrated Angel's birthday. The Portland mayor even spoke in the midday news: "Happy birthday to the heroes of Portland."

Angel brought Portland far more than just two O'Brien Cups. He also directly stimulated the connection between Portland and China. Countless Chinese people began to flock to this city, and Portland also became the second largest American city with Chinese tourists after Los Angeles.

No wonder the Mayor of Portland would value Anger so much. The appearance of this guy can be said to have directly improved the economy of the city of Portland. Anger'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 present. Lillard was the first to arrive. This guy hasn't been there anyway these days, just in Portland. From his house to Anjie's house, the opening starts only took more than ten minutes.

Afterwards, the three Thunder giants Durant, Westbrook and Morris arrived at the same time. Although Ibaka did not arrive, Towestbrook still brought gifts to Angel.

Of course, outside this villa where superstars gather, the film of reporters has been murdered. A birthday party can gather a lot of NBA stars, and this may be the case in Portland this year.

Unfortunately, all reporters can only take photos outside the gate. Anjie has hired many security guards to guard the surroundings. This is a private party and outsiders are not allowed to enter.

However, there is an exception to this reporter. This guy can not only take pictures, but also swagger into the yard with a camera. The treatment of this guy made all reporters envious.

There is no doubt that Wu Hua, Anjie's official reporter, has such a face in the world. After all, if it weren't for Wu Hua, the Chinese might not know who Anjie was.

As time goes by, more and more guests come. And the more they go back, the bigger the brand seems. The reporters keep pressing the shutter, and their mouths can't close at all. Even Olajuwon and Mutombo are coming. God knows whether Jordan will appear later!

It turns out that Mr. Qiao did not land in Portland. After all, Anjie and Jordan have not had much contact, and the two of them may not have said more than ten words in person, so they are not considered familiars. But even so, they still cannot hide the bright stars of this party.

After everyone was almost there, the waiters began to pass on the dishes. The Chinese food that the stars had never seen before was brought to the table, making everyone salivate. Of course, there were still a few guys among them who couldn't get used to Chinese food. For example, Old Miller, eating with chopsticks was simply incredible to him.

But An Jie and the others have considered this situation, so An Jie also brought a few chefs from his steak house and cooked a few Western dishes. In short, this banquet is a combination of Chinese and Western, which can satisfy everyone's appetite.

After everyone watched An Jie clumsyly cut the cake, the banquet had officially begun. Some people lingered in front of the delicious dishes, some held wine glasses and chatted around. Some danced to the music, and some showed off their figure in An Jie's swimming pool.

This kind of American-style family gathering usually has no priorities, just be happy when you get together.

Of course, An Jie is still the protagonist today. Everyone would bring wine to An Jie with a glass. If An Jie hadn't had the small glass of wine, this tall guy would have been unconscious for a long time.

"Hey, An, Happy Birthday!" After sending away Aldridge and his son who came to toast, Paul George walked up alone with a glass of wine.

"Thank you, George." Anjie smiled and clinked glasses with George. This guy was the special one of Anjie's friends. He had never been a teammate with Anjie, nor had he trained with Anjie. But it was during the time when he was enemies of each other that the two formed a friendship.

Angel was regarded as the leader by George, and George was also treated as a little brother by Angel. After drinking, the two started chatting casually. What about the baby’s situation, the holiday arrangements, etc.

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

"Ah?" George grew up and thought he had heard it wrong.

"I mean, have you ever thought about joining the Trail Blazers? Let's join forces." Anjie looked at George with a smile, wondering if this guy was serious or joking.

"Hahaha, my new contract has only been executed for a year, Ann." George quickly evaded this question because his heart was touched!

"Yes, too..." Anjie did not continue to ask, but at least, Anjie also knew George's attitude.

Maybe one day in the future, I will really join forces with this guy, and maybe I will...

The birthday party continues, not just Anjie's home, but the whole of Portland is having fun for Anjie.

In a blink of an eye, he was already 25 years old, and his career was missing another year. How long could he play? An Jie didn't know. But he knew that at the age of 25, he had almost entered a golden age.

So, I hope my career will continue to go smoothly, my friends will be together, my relatives will be safe, and my legs will cause less trouble for me. The Trail Blazers will be able to achieve a good result next year... Oh, if you accidentally make so many wishes, the old man will not be too busy.

Anyway, everything will be fine for the coming year!

Under the blue sky, countless people were reveling on the land of the City of Roses. The heroes of Portland took off their armor and put down their weapons.
Chapter completed!
