Chapter 854: Warm Champion Night
With the help of his teammates, Anjie limped to the sidelines. He won the championship in the Loan Center Stadium. Anjie must not understand the cheers like the earth and mountains, and he must not see the scene where the whole audience shouted MVP.
Although some Trail Blazers fans came to the scene, their cheers would always be swallowed up by the greater booing of Cavaliers fans.
But even so, Anjie was already satisfied. Being able to end the finals early in Cleveland has already made Anjie fulfill his wish.
At this time, the players of the Trail Blazers were waiting for the stadium staff to build a temporary podium on the chaotic court. During this period, it is also time for reporters to freely interview the players.
In front of An Jie, there are naturally the ones with the most microphones. Media from all over the world hope to hear what this tenacious guy will say after winning the championship.
An Jie kept smiling, perhaps a rare moment when he wouldn't get bored of the media.
"I enjoyed this moment very much. I believe that my wife, children, and all the fans who support us will enjoy this moment. Two years ago, we have been away from the finals for two years. Now we are back to the top, everything is like a dream." An Jie's face with the camera, there are still some tears on his face. God knows what it feels like to win the championship, but he can actually make such a tough guy cry like a child.
"What are you thinking in your head when the game is over?" The reporters did not forget the scene when Angel and James fell to the ground at the same time at the end of the game.
"Oh, a lot of things flashed through my mind at that time. Really? We were really not favored by the outside world, we really won the championship without George and Damien? I knew when I saw LeBron fall to the ground. That's right, this is true!" Anjie laughed while recalling the scene just now.
"What will you do this offseason? Do you travel around the world with your O'Brien Cup? Or will you continue to sweat in the training hall?"
"None of them are Kevin, I will accompany my family. I will be with my family all summer. I have missed my son's birthdays too many times, and I have asked my wife to take on too much by myself. This summer, I will devote all my time to them." When I said this, Anjie's eyes suddenly became very gentle. In addition to the championship, accompanying his family may be Anjie's biggest wish now.
The reporters still had many questions to ask, but the temporary podium at the scene had been prepared. An Jie was the first to walk on the podium under the pulling and pushing of his teammates.
Once again, Anjie could once again look at the entire arena in this place. Where is James? That guy should be in the locker room now. Before he could hug him, he should hug him. Because James' fighting spirit that lasted until the end won him great respect in Anjie's heart.
After a while, Bill Russell and Adam Xiaohua also walked up. Angel knew that the O'Brien Cup was about to be sent to his arms!
Not long after, the award ceremony officially began. Under the booing of the fans of the Loan Center Arena, Adam Xiaohua, a guy who had just issued a huge ticket to the Trail Blazers, took the microphone with an awkward smile.
He first followed the usual routine on stage and thanked James and the Cavaliers. Without them, fans would not have seen such a wonderful series.
In the past, Anjie would not have cared too much about this sentence. But this year, when Adam Xiaohua said this, Anjie clapped hard. Xiaohua was right, the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James who fought to the last moment were also worthy of respect.
Afterwards, the players on the stage began to get excited. An Jie stared at Xiao Hua with his eyes tightly, hoping that he could get to the point soon.
"Now, let's award the trophy to the championship, congratulations to the Trail Blazers!" Xiao Hua raised the trophy and handed it to An Jie.
After Anjie won the O'Brien Cup, he found that the Golden Cup seemed to be much lighter than the previous three. After all, the fakes are fakes and the quality is very different. But the most important thing now is not the authenticity of the trophy. The real one is probably sent to the Moda Center. Now for the Trail Blazers players, the most important thing is to celebrate the victory.
Angel suddenly raised the fake O'Brien Cup over his head, and the others immediately stretched out their arms and surrounded Angel and the trophy.
The booing at the Loan Center Stadium also reached its climax at this moment, but in Angel's ears, the sound was no different from the cheers at the Moda Center!
George and Lillard, two guys who were unable to go out with the team, were also so excited that they shouted at their homes that Anjie won the championship, which means that next season, they will both have a championship ring in their hands!
Afterwards, Angel handed the O'Brien Cup to Morris. Next, the awards time for the MVP in the finals.
Whenever the Trail Blazers win the championship, there is usually no suspense about the FMVP award.
This year, in the absence of major generals, An Jie not only led the team out of the siege in the playoffs, but also directly won the championship trophy. This kind of honor is not comparable to that of others.
Seeing Bill Russell, who was smiling and kind, lifted the FMVP trophy, the rest of the Trail Blazers consciously took a step back and gave the stage to Anjie.
During the finals, he averaged 35.8 points, 17.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.8 blocks per game. Judging from the data, if Anjie successfully won the award, he deserved it.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you and your Trail Blazers to come back. Congratulations, you let me, the old man, see another miracle!" After Russell said that, he handed the trophy with a smile.
Anjie held the FMVP trophy high, which was the first time in two years that Anjie has touched such a huge honor.
An Jie looked at the entire court, and he had been struggling for ten years on this familiar basketball court. At this moment, he once again stood at the top.
Wait, before I retire, I will win more and more championships!
Afterwards, a temporary studio was even set up on the court and Anjie was invited to be a special guest and conducted an exclusive interview with him.
During this period, An Jie's hands would always rub the pain knee from time to time. However, in front of the championship, everything seemed no longer important.
After a long time, the Trail Blazers, who won the championship, finally satisfied the appetite of the reporters. And An Jie and the others were finally able to return to the player channel one and a half hours after the game.
This year, since they were not favored before the game, and they won the away championship, Anjie and the others will no longer have a whole box of hundreds of expensive champagne to celebrate the championship.
Therefore, when Anjie and the others returned to the player channel, it seemed much calmer than in the past few years. However, when Anjie led the team to open the locker room door, the big man wearing a baseball cap and a Trail Blazers championship commemorating T-Shi, smiled knowingly.
"I'll call you to order it temporarily! Now you can only deliver these at most. Brothers, just make do with it!" Ricard looked sweaty, and behind him was a metal cart for serving meals in a restaurant.
There were two ice buckets on the cart. There were three bottles of inexpensive champagne in the ice bucket. Between the two small buckets, a plate of fruit salad that had just been delivered from the market and was covered with a layer of plastic wrap. This scene made some players laugh out loud.
Although there are only six bottles of champagne and the plate of fruit salad looks very funny, compared to the luxurious scenes of winning the first three times, today's scene makes An Jie feel more warm...
The happiness of winning the championship cannot be measured by money. As long as everyone is still together and as long as everyone can still win, that is enough.
"Thank you, boss." Anjie walked up and hugged Ricard tightly.
When An Jie let go of his mentor, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"What are you waiting for? Brothers!" Anjie grabbed a bottle of champagne, shook it violently, and then sprayed it at Ricard.
"Hahahaha! Let's have a big fight!" Morris also picked up the ice bucket and poured it around in the locker room.
The entire locker room became chaotic again, and the players all greedily stuck out their tongues, hoping to drink a few more sips of the sprayed champagne.
Anjie was spraying his teammates frantically, and his teammates were spraying him. This year's Champagne Battle didn't last long, and in a short while, six bottles of champagne were squandered. Only a group of big men covered in alcohol and wet, sitting in the messy locker room, smiling foolishly.
Chapter completed!
