When Anjie left his future in Portland for 200 million yuan, he certainly never expected that his contract renewal would become the beginning of this crazy summer.

After Kobe's reincarnation, Duncan, Anjie's old opponent, also officially announced his retirement. Unlike Kobe's high-profile curtain call, the news of Duncan's retirement is like the character of the "stone man", so low-key that you can hardly believe that this is true.

Who is Duncan? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the greatest power forward in nBa history. It is such a guy who usually announces news that shocked the world. Duncan will never change.

An Jie knew that from now on, the master of this alliance will become a younger generation. More and more legends have withdrawn from this game, but more and more powerful people have also joined the battle.

After Duncan retired, the Spurs immediately recruited Paul Gasol. It can be said that this team completed the succession ceremony well. The Spurs, which have Aldridge, Leonard and Gasol, will continue to remain competitive in the West.

In the east, the New York Knicks, which have Anthony and Porzingis, have won Derek Ross and Jockin Noah. Next season, the Knicks' lineup will become quite terrifying, and perhaps James' Cavaliers will be affected.

Al Horford joins the Celtics, Howard joins the Hawks, Wade joins the Bulls... This summer, heavy trades are coming one after another. The alliance pattern changes every day. Anjie is even too lazy to turn on his phone after getting up every day. Because once he opens it, there will inevitably be a lot of news that will upset him.

Angel has been waiting, waiting for Nell Orsey to make changes to the team. The opponents have become stronger and stronger. If the Trail Blazers continue to drag on the same lineup as last season, the championship will only be a dream.

Think about it, a team that has Durant, Curry, Thompson and Drummond Green is not something that Angel and Lillard can defeat with C.J. McCollum.

The league is completely in chaos. An Jie still remembers that when he first joined nBa, it was impossible for the league to have teams like the Warriors. But now, every team is following the Warriors.

Anjie doesn't like this very much, but for the sake of the championship, the Trail Blazers also have to make compromises. Anjie also needs another right-hand assistant beside Lillard.

Nell Olsey is indeed looking for reinforcements everywhere. Wade was once one of Olsey's candidates. Angel even had a meal with Wade in Portland to discuss the "Flash" joining the team. But unfortunately, compared to Portland, Wade finally chose his hometown of Chicago. Perhaps Wade himself knew that his troubled knee could not help Angel, the guy, return to the top.

The former Warriors' potential striker Harrison Barnes also had contact with the Trail Blazers, but Barnes's 4-year asking price of 90,000 yuan was indeed unacceptable to Orsey. He and Angel agreed that Barnes' performance with the Warriors in recent years is not worth the price.

In the end, Cuban, who was rich and willing to spend money, took Barnes to Dallas for 9.4 million yuan in four years. The potential signing of the Trail Blazers was ruined again.

It is precisely because of this or that, Nell Orsey is hitting walls everywhere this summer. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer big fish this summer, Orsey has no choice but to be anxious.

In the end, Orsey only brought Evan Turner and Shabaz Napier to the Trail Blazers. Although these two guys can indeed bring great complements to the Trail Blazers' outside, this level of signing is still a thousand miles away from Anjie's ideal.

"You, don't stare at the news of the transaction signing. Now it's the offseason. If you don't relax, why do you win three more championships?" Looking at Anjie sitting on the sand and staring at his phone with a frown, Catherine couldn't help but lean over and snuggle up to her husband.

"Dad, let's go play basketball." At this time, An Xiang, who was already two years old, walked to An Jie with a staggering step and holding a small ball.

His wife is by his side and his son is in front of him. At this moment, An Jie suddenly felt very comfortable. Yes, basketball is not the whole of his life. He already has a complete family, a happy family. As Katherine said, now is the offseason. In addition to improving himself in the offseason, the most important task is to rest.

"Let's go son! Dad teaches you a backward jump shot today!" So Anjie stood up, raised his son and walked towards the basketball court in his backyard.

"Be careful!" Catherine looked at the two men with a smile. As long as Anjie is no longer worried about work, Catherine will feel comfortable.

Another summer is coming, Anjie and Catherine are slowly getting older, but their children are growing up. The alliance is constantly changing, but Anjie just wants to enjoy the warmth of the family at this moment.

An Jie always feels that the past two years are getting faster and faster. He hasn't reacted to what he has had. A season ended in a confused manner.

The following season, the Trail Blazers finally achieved a record of 59 wins and 23 losses, ranking third in the West again. But this is the first time in four years that the Trail Blazers failed to win more than 60 games in the regular season.

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers and the Warriors met again in the Western Conference Finals. However, Durant did not have any mercy this time. 4 to 2, the Warriors defeated Anjie cleanly and neatly under the leadership of two mVp-level guys Curry and Durant.

After losing to the Warriors for two consecutive years, Anjie now understands a little bit of how James felt when he lost to him for three consecutive years.

After the game, Angel had no choice but to embrace Durant. This season, the top three nBa scoring list belonged to Westbrook, Durant and Angel. The former Thunder three young masters occupied the top three in the scoring list, but they failed to create glory together.

In people's eyes, this is a pity. Seeing three people standing in the top three in the scoring list wearing jerseys from different teams, Oklahoma fans felt very uncomfortable. Time has finally made these three boys who were extremely immature back then grow up, but time has also made them fight for themselves now.

"You have created an era of your own. Now, it's my turn!" Durant looked very happy after winning the game. He smiled in front of An Jie, but did not show An Jie's expression at this moment.

"No, Kevin, my time is not over yet!" Anjie's tough instinctive reaction made Durant a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don't be so serious. Enjoy the victory. This year, the Warriors should not capsize in the finals again. I hope you can eventually become the one who lifts the O'Brien Cup." An Jie found that what he just said seemed a bit out of place, so he immediately made it happen.

After Durant left, Anjie clenched his fists very tightly. Because in Anjie's heart, he only hoped that the person who picked up the O'Brien Cup was himself...

As of this point, the 16-17 season between Anjie and the Trail Blazers has come to an end. Anjie, who originally wanted to create the second three-game winning streak, returned empty-handed again.

2o17 June 23, Anger's 28th birthday. This year, Westbrook and Durant, who won the championship as he wished, did not come to Portland to attend their birthday party. Because neither of these two guys wanted to meet anyone in private. Therefore, both of these two guys simply chose to disappear.

Although they still called An Jie and sent a gift, An Jie still hoped that the three young men who had already joined each other could get together again.

After two failed seasons, Anjie and the Trail Blazers are no longer as popular as before. People seem to have forgotten that this Eastern giant just established a dynasty that shocked the world two years ago.

The Trail Blazers are still strong teams in the league, but people rarely associate them with the championship.

"What are you thinking, man." Just as Angel held a wine glass and looked over the entire Portland through the balcony, Andrew Morris suddenly came to Angel.

"Hey, Morris, how are the dishes today?" Anjie took back his thoughts and smiled at his good brother. Today is his birthday, and everyone is here to celebrate for himself. This happy moment, I should not be frowning.

"Your food is always so delicious. Hey, I'm a little imagining that I moved here to live with you like back then. In this way, I can eat delicious Chinese food every day." Morris said, talking to Anjie about the happy time when they lived under the same roof when they were both in Oklahoma.

"...Hahahaha, you still remember the incident when I blocked the toilet back then. You guys, you will never forget my embarrassing things." While the two of them were chatting, happy laughter kept coming. Seeing Anjie and Morris chatting so happily, Paul George, who had been wanting to talk to Anjie, couldn't even get in touch.

"Hey An, I just said I wanted to come to Portland with you...I'm serious." After laughing, Morris' expression suddenly became serious. This guy seemed to have made a great determination to say something.

"Come on, I have more empty beds here. You can get along well with your godson. Speaking of which, when will you find a companion? My son is two years old, so you have to hurry up." An Jie smiled and patted Morris on the shoulder. He is also a big boss and still has no home.

"No, An, I'm talking serious. I don't want to renew my contract with the Thunder. This summer, I hope to join the Trail Blazers with a salary cut! I hope to stay in Portland!" This time, Morris, who always loves to laugh, didn't laugh!

An Jie's eyes suddenly became wide open, it was obvious that he was frightened by the news.

"No...you've been in Oklahoma for so many years, and the cooperation between you and Russell is also very close. You really..."

"I really want to come to Portland, Ann. The swordsmen of the Cyclone team, it's time to get back together. I want to compete with you for the championship. I've had enough of the successive defeats in the Western Conference semi-finals." Before Anger could finish speaking, Morris snatched the right to speak.

"Oh my God...man...you fucking..." Anjie was so excited that he couldn't speak, although Morris had become a defensive blue-collar player, making him rarely the focus of the public.

But Angel knew Morris' strength very well. If it weren't for himself, Morris would have to hold at least three best defensive players trophys.

If Morris is really willing to come to Portland to reunite with Angel, the Trail Blazers' strength will definitely be greatly enhanced.

"I don't want you to win the championship alone, stinky brat." Morris stretched out his fist, Angel smiled and met Morris.

Afterwards, Morris ran to another room and continued to discuss this matter with Ricard. Anjie's mood also calmed down slightly.

Seeing that Morris finally left, only Angel was left on the balcony, Paul George immediately came up with a glass of wine. He had to say something about this today!

"Hey, An." An Jie was still recalling the explosive news just now, so that George walked up to him and he didn't even see him.

"Hey, George! Hahahaha, how were you having fun today."

"Very happy, by the way, you and Morris just now..."

"Oh, Morris said... he was going to join the Trail Blazers this summer. To be honest, I was a little surprised. Because he and the Thunder have always been very harmonious, I never thought he would choose to leave." Anjie wanted to make excuses, but then he thought that there was nothing to hide for George. So he told him all.

"Is that so? This is really good news." George said, lying on the fence of the balcony, looking at the Portland scenery in front of him. With Morris joining the Trail Blazers, George liked his plan even more.

"This is my year of visiting your birthday party, Ann?" George relaxed and started chatting with Ann.

"It's been at least four years." Anjie lifted his finger and calculated. Time flew by. It's been so much time since he and George were not acquainted with each other to becoming good friends.

"Do you remember what you said to me at the birthday party on your 25th birthday?" George turned his head and smiled at Angel.

"25th birthday?" An Jie scratched his head hard and began to think about it. It was not easy to suddenly remember something three years ago.

"25 years old... birthday party... you mean!" Suddenly! Anjie's expression became terrified. George showed his signature smile and left the balcony. Anjie had this expression, which was enough!

"Tomorrow, you'll hear the news." George waved at Angel and continued to join the party.

On the balcony, only Anjie was left standing in place. On his 25th birthday, he once said to George, "How is it? Are you interested in working with me?"

George suddenly mentioned this, does it mean...

On his 28th birthday, Anjie suddenly giggled. He knew that after waiting for two years, this crazy summer belonging to Portland finally came...
Chapter completed!
