Final Chapter: The Back

The Trail Blazers are not in good condition now, and not all teams can complete the transition from old to old without realizing it, just like the San Antonio Spurs.

For a team with a severely aging structure, it is almost a foregone conclusion to knock down and rebuild. Especially after that guy left.

In the season after Anjie retired, the Trail Blazers' performance plummeted. This is actually something that everyone expected. Without Anjie's Trail Blazers, it is like losing their soul. In the past 13 years, the Trail Blazers have never left Anjie. Now they suddenly want to play in the absence of Anjie, which does take some time to adapt.

Although the Trail Blazers could barely squeeze into the top eight under the leadership of Lillard and George and Morris, who was unwilling to accept the age of old. However, it seems that this is the case.

Today, the Trail Blazers are about to play against their old rival Milwaukee Bucks. "Antetokounmpo" will not forget the situation when he lost to the Trail Blazers in the Finals. Since then, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, "Antetokounmpo" will be extremely excited when facing the Trail Blazers, and today, it will definitely be no exception.

Before the game started, countless fans took photos with the bronze statue of the Oo center outside the Anjie Center. Although they have retired, this huge poster of Anjie is still hanging outside the Anjie Center. The Center Way of the Center is still launching new models, and it is still selling well as before.

Wu Hua prepared his camera and looked at the people taking a photo with the bronze statue, and couldn't help but take a photo. Wu Hua was not for the game today. Since An Jie retired, he has no longer been a reporter for the Trail Blazers. The reason why this guy chose to come back today is because in addition to that game, there are more important things to do later.

"How about it, is this skirt so beautiful?" In front of the mirror, a cute woman with a golden head and blue pupils stood. Behind him, a tall and strong man hugged her.

"Just kidding, is there any bad clothes you wear?" The man admired the beautiful wife in the mirror, and this woman seemed to never grow old.

"Tsk, you're just sweet-mouthed. Go next door to see how Xiao Ke is preparing. It's getting late." Under Catherine's urging, Anjie walked out of the room obediently. Looking at Anjie's excited expression, Catherine couldn't help but smile slightly.

He must have waited for a long time this day.

"Dad, your black suit is really vulgar. Didn't my mother buy you a purple set during the Chinese New Year?" A young and strong man who was already very scary but was looking at An Jie carefully.

"I'm not going to a banquet, why are you wearing a purple suit. Besides, Anjie suddenly paused. "The main color of the Trail Blazers is black and dark red. I'm wearing black, which is very good."

"By the way, when you go to the scene today, do you remember to tell Uncle Damien that he can guide me in the dribble." An Xiang sorted out his dark red suit, and the father and son were wearing black and the other wearing dark red, which was really in line with the theme of the Trail Blazers.

"Just how many pounds you are, you still want to bother you Uncle Damien? I will tell him that at that time, don't even be able to beat an old man."

"Don't worry, dad, your son won't embarrass you."

"I'll tell you two, let's talk on the way. You can't be late today!" Catherine's voice came from outside the room.

"Here you come!" The father and son looked at each other and smiled, touched their fists gently, and stepped out of the room.

Today, the attendance rate of Anjie Center hit a season-high. Not to mention ordinary fans, even many stars were present.

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Bucks is naturally very eye-catching, but what really makes today special is not the game itself.

Before the game began, the on-site staff placed a temporary podium and several rows of small benches in the center of the stadium. On the bench were retired Trail Blazers meritorious minister Andre Iguodala, qí superstar Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder logo Russell Westbrook, and three leading players of the Trail Blazers, Lillard, George and Morris. Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen, general manager Nell Orsey, head coach George Ricard, former Trail Blazers tactical consultant, current Kings general manager Vlad Divac, ace commentator Jeff Van Gundy, and Anger's parents and wife and children.

It is destined to be nothing ordinary to put on this situation before the game. That's right, today, almost a year after Anjie retires. The Portland Trail Blazers will hold Anjie's jersey retirement ceremony at Anjie Center.

Amid the cheers of the fans of the audience, the lights at the scene gradually dimmed. The spotlight hit the exit of the player's passage, and a tall man with his head tied and his face covered in stubbornness walked out. Suddenly, the Moda Center shook again and shook. An Jie finally appeared!

The group of people sitting on the small bench in the center of the stadium, no matter how big or big they are, stood up and applauded without exception. Tonight, only Angel in Portland is the most important thing!

An Jie looked at the familiar venue and listened to the sound that made his blood boil. It felt so good to go home.

"I'm very happy that I can stand here again." As soon as An Jie spoke, the entire stadium seemed to tremble.

"When I come here, I feel as comfortable as I am going home!" While An Jie spoke, the live camera gave the camera to the already white Ricard face.

Ricard had no expression on his face, his eyes were very empty. This guy, maybe he saw this tall center standing on the court again, and he had not recovered yet.

After losing Angel, Ricard was like losing his own child. He even had an impulse: I might as well retire.

An Jie's speech was calm. He was not as humorous as Yao Ming, nor did he say some cold jokes like Duncan. The word that most appeared in An Jie's speech was thanks.

Even so, the fans at the scene were still crying. The guests sitting in the center of the court all rosy.

Afterwards, the guests present made a speech together. When it was Lillard's turn, he took the lead in taking out an old red envelope from his pocket.

"When the Chinese New Year was over, you sent us in the locker room. I have always kept this red envelope." Lillard's actions made Anjie choke. Those wonderful times are gone forever.

Everyone tells the story between them and An Jie. Everyone makes An Jie's career flash back in people's minds.

Angel yelled at Shannon Brown in his first playoffs, and Durant dissuaded him from the scene.

An Jie fell to the ground and the bench players came out to support him one after another.

Anjie pinched Ricard's shoulder with both hands and shouted at him, "I can still fight."

Of course, there were six more times when Anjie stood at the top of the world and held up the memories of O'Brien's Cup.

These things are vividly reproduced in people's minds through the guests' written narrative.

Finally, when everyone finished speaking, there were two obvious tears on An Jie's cheek.

The spotlight was projected to the dome in the center of Anjie, and next to the six championship pennants, a black cloth was slowly pulled apart.

Angel's Trail Blazers oo jersey once again appeared in this stadium. It will always fly here, as the flag of the Trail Blazers and the city of Portland, and will be safe forever!

From now on, Portland has only one OO number. Anjie has become the most special one.

In the game that night, Lillard and George worked together to score 57 points to help the Trail Blazers go through hard and overtime victory.

After the game, Lillard was the first to rush into the player's passage and hugged Anjie who was waiting in the locker room.

"This is a gift for you, man."

On the summer of the end of this season, Anjie was officially inducted into the Hall of Fame and became the second Chinese to win this honor. And compared with Yao Ming, this time, Chinese fans can say with confidence that Anjie was inducted into the Hall of Fame with his excellent honor.

9 times best defensive player, 15 times selected for the All-Star lineup, 12 times best defensive first team, 11 times best first team, the first consecutive double double record holder in history, the most block record holder in a single game in the playoff history, one scoring champion, six regular season awards, and six award winners. Of course, the most important thing is that Anjie won the championship trophy six times in his 16-year career, creating two incredible dynasties and becoming a basketball god on par with Jordan.

People are marveling at Angel's star-studded career, and from now on, people can only be on the stage, qí's back

The 3 leagues established by Allen Iverson and others have been doing well in recent years. More and more retired stars have joined, which has attracted great attention from this interesting 3-on-3 basketball league.

"It's been 10 years since you retired, and your son is an All-Star. You guy, you actually want to play basketball." Westbrook looked at the old guy in front of him and laughed happily.

"We have agreed to win the championship together. This dream has not been realized yet." An Jie, who is 46 years old, is wearing his equipment seriously. After holding it in for so long, An Jie found that he could not resist the basketball's attitude towards him.

When Westbrook and Durant invited An Jiechu, An Jie thought for a long time. He was 46 years old, so what other basketball can he play? But An Jie thought again, why not!

When I learned that Anjie was going to play, the attendance rate on the 3 league match day today was a record high since the establishment of the league. The former Thunder Three Young Masters and the three old men now walked out of the player channel amid the spotlight and cheers from the fans of the audience.

An Jie jumped around twice, and the camera also pointed at the All-Star player An Xiang's father. qí, can it continue in the 3 leagues?

Anjie was wearing his Oo jersey. Although this jersey is no longer a torn city. But as soon as Oo came on the court, it would definitely kill everyone!

Anjie closed his eyes, feeling the temperature, sound, and air of the long-lost field. Then, he suddenly opened his eyes. In the stands, Katherine was waving to him enthusiastically.

Angel smiled slightly in response, and flirted with Westbrook and Durant beside him.
Chapter completed!
