"Don't you really think about it anymore?" At the dinner table, Ricard wiped his mouth and stared at the Chinese man in front of him who was no longer young. Compared to when he first saw him on the wild court, Anjie had changed too much.

He had a beard and his head grew longer. And there were obviously more wrinkles on his face. Looking at himself, his head began to turn white? Everyone, they all changed...

"I can't play anymore, boss. I know my own body. In the past, I could guarantee that I could still keep energetic under high-intensity training. But now, my knees will break down at any time. Every movement and every jump on the court is a test of my knees. I don't want to end my career in a wheelchair. From now on, I want to play with Anxiang." Anjie said, looking at his yard along the floor-to-ceiling window. Anxiang, who has grown up, is practicing on the basketball court in the yard. The guy's shooting percentage is already scary when he is warming up his shooting. It seems that he has really inherited Anjie's soft touch.

"You only scored 28 points and 16 rebounds in the last game. This season, you still averaged 17.8 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. I want to say, even if you are 36 years old, you are still the number one center in the league. At this time, are you sure you want to leave?" Of course, Ricard was reluctant to leave Anjie. Since his career, he has worked with Anjie. Now this good friend suddenly wants to say that he will leave the court. Can Ricard bear to leave?

"I thought about what you said when I established the dynasty for the second time. It was because I couldn't bear to leave that I fought until now. Catherine and Anxiang, but they waited for me for five years. I think it's time. Those who do our business will eventually leave. LeBron, Dwyne, Cameron... the guys I'm familiar with in the league have already left one after another. This year, it's my turn."

"The Trail Blazers still need you." Ricard clenched his fists unwillingly.

"What the Trail Blazers need is to create a new era. It's over, the boss. This era belongs to us is over. Even if I stay, how long can I stay? One year, two years, and three years? Instead of delaying these few years, it's better to let the team find the next leader. Without me, the team can free up more salary space." An Jie said, laughing.

"I know your personality is peaceful. Even ten cows can't get back what you have decided. You decided to play nBa, so you sabotage them in ncaa. You decided to show off your skills, so the league had the third young master of Thunder. You decided to win the championship, so we won six of them together. I think now, nothing can change your mind." Ricard let out a big sigh, but instead felt relaxed. Since Anjie decided to leave, let's send him off in the final season.

"Retirement... I really didn't expect that this day will come so soon." An Jie's eyes passed through the glass and looked at the tearing city that was brightly lit in the night. This time, I really want to see you again...

After Anger defeated the Detroit Pistons, the Trail Blazers made great progress. They won five consecutive games in one go, and Anger's performance in these five games was also very eye-catching.

In five games, Anjie averaged 24.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. The data he scored in these five games was infinitely close to his performance at his peak.

This 36-year-old legend has begun to regain the headlines, and major sports channels have begun to discuss Anjie more and more. They all exclaimed that Anjie is about to start reshaping his glory.

Wu Hua has been incredibly happy these days. As An Jie's official reporter, An Jie performed well, so Wu Hua naturally felt happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

In the next game, the Trail Blazers will face the rising star Philadelphia 76ers. Facing the 76ers, which has two superstars, Simmons and Embiid, the Trail Blazers' winning streak is being tested.

Embiid even said on Twitter. "No matter whether the opponent is a legend or something, I will knock him to the ground and show no mercy!"

There is no doubt that Embiid's remarks were quickly transferred to the world by various media. People say that Embiid was a great disrespect for his predecessors, but An Jie, the person involved, just smiled slightly after seeing the relevant reports.

"This brat, Embiid, looks quite like me back then." Yes, when An Jie was young, he didn't seem to respect anyone. For him, only by doing his best to fight others on the court can he be called respect.

This highly anticipated regular season was finally staged on time at the Anjie Center. Faced with the already elderly Anjie, Embiid broke through with his own advantage and easily made a layup.

The second goal was Ben Simmons of the 76ers forcibly broke through, and Angel jumped high to prepare to block, but Simmons still scored the ball under interference.

Ricard couldn't help but sigh that the basket guarded by Anjie is no longer a no-fly zone. At most, it can only be called a limited-fly zone.

On the defensive end, Embiid pushed and shoved An Jie again and again, collided with An Jiesheng again and again. The movement was already a bit too much defense, but it was not even stopped by the referee.

In this rhythm of the game, Anjie's first half made a very bad move, and the Trail Blazers also entered the halftime break with a 10-point disadvantage.

During the break, Ricard looked at Anjie. To his surprise, Anjie, who was about to retire, did not become calm because of this. Instead, he seemed full of anger.

"Boss, give me more playing time in the second half. Embiid, I'm sure you'll get it!" After Anjie said that, he turned to look at Nurkic.

"Yusufu, this may take up some of your playing time. But don't be unhappy."

"No, no! Everything is based on victory!" Nurkic waved his hand quickly. In Anjie's last season, who dared to face Anjie?

An Jie moved his muscles and bones. Since the referee's standard in the first half game was so loose, then in the second half, don't blame An Jie for bullying the small for the big one.

In the second half, Embiid, who was full of confidence, leaned against An Jie to prepare for a singles as soon as he came up. But this guy had just pushed a small step back, and An Jie fell down.

Anjie's performance was so realistic that even the referee didn't notice it at all. I wonder if Divac would feel proud when he saw this scene?

Embiid was made an offensive foul by Anjie's fake fall, but he didn't agree. In his opinion, Anjie can only survive in this despicable way.

But soon, Embiid found out, and Anjie seemed to be playing with him!

On the offensive end, Anjie secretly exerted force while turning, causing Embiid to get a dark elbow.

After being elbowed, Embiid had no time to react, so he could only watch An Jie turn around and pass him by, then jump and dunk on the spot!

"Monster dunk! Never underestimate this guy. Even when he is in a trough, it will definitely not work!" O'Neal looked at the stadium with a smile. Embiid, Embiid, let's take a good lesson today.

After Anjie finished the dunk, Embiid was obviously a little anxious. He was defeated by a 36-year-old "old man". If this is spread, people would not laugh out loud?

Embiid admitted that Anjie is great, but it does not mean that he can fail at will. He, who was eager to prove himself, broke the coach's tactics in the latter offense and took the ball and prepared to do it alone. After all, in the first half, he won one-on-one with Anjie many times.

However, this time, the impatient Embiid was full of flaws. After this guy held the ball on his back, the experienced Anjie suddenly slapped and cut off the basketball in Embiid's hand.

Not only did Embiid not score, he also made a mistake. What about Anjie? Anjie smiled proudly at Embiid and shook his finger.

Some things, no matter what age An Jie is, will not change. Arrogant? An Jie will be more arrogant than you!

After a series of failures, Embiid's mentality collapsed. In the subsequent games, he failed to continue his excellent moves in the first half. Instead, An Jie recovered his rhythm through steady play.

Fortunately, Ben Simmons continued to play the Blazers' weak third position and kept the 76ers' team relied on Simmons' swing to maintain a slight advantage.

In the last 22 seconds of the game, Simmons used a beautiful dribble behind the back and then broke through directly. He did not choose to go one-on-one with 36-year-old Anjie, but instead ended the attack with an emergency stop jump shot.

The hand started, the knife fell. Simmons made a steadily shot at the critical moment, causing the 76ers to reverse the score. The fans of the Anjie Center held their heads with their hands, and the game time was only 18 seconds left. If the Trail Blazers failed the next attack, the 76ers, which was annoying in this game, would really succeed.

Ricard nervously arranged the tactics, and the camera swept over Anjie, but his expression was so calm that it made people cool down.

After the game restarted, Lillard kept controlling the ball from the outside and delaying time. It seemed that the Trail Blazers were preparing to take a gamble.

In the last 5.2 seconds of the game, Lillard broke through and passed the ball, and George made a three-pointer. However, under the interference of Ben Simmons, George missed his three-pointer.

Just when everyone thought the game was over, the familiar figure of Oo jumped high and won an offensive rebound on the heads of a number of popular league stars such as Embiid. Afterwards, the guy took a step back, leaned back and jumped back, and shot.

Under Embiid's oppression, Anjie fell to the ground unstable center of gravity. However, the orange-red basketball fell into the ball net under the attention of everyone.

"In!" Mike Brynn helped his glasses.

"In!" Jeff Van Gundy had already started yelling at the microphone.

The winning goal, another great winning goal was born.

The next second, everything came back. The fans cheered excitedly, the teammates hugged ecstatically, the commentators shouted heart-wrenchingly, and the opponent's incredible expressions... Time seemed to have come back at that moment.

An Jie raised his arms in the middle of the crowd and did not let them go for a long time. His hideous expression was as terrifying as when he was young!

He is old, but it is not useless. His desire for victory has never faded!

Ricard saw everything he had just born and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. Victory is no longer the most important thing for Ricard at this moment. The most important thing is that he is lucky to see Anjie do something that cannot be done again. I really hope this guy can stay, even if there is one more season, it would be fine.

Such a scene is really a little less...

An Jie stood in the center of the court under the hug of his teammates, enjoying his few time.
Chapter completed!
