The way of the center

Chapter 830 Warm Night of Champions

With the support of his teammates, An Jie limped to the sidelines.Winning the championship in the Quicken Loans Center arena, An Jie must not understand the earth-shaking cheers, and he must not have seen 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 even bigger boos from Cavaliers fans.

But even so, An Jie was already satisfied.Being able to end the finals early in Cleveland has already made Anjie's wish come true.

At this time, the Trail Blazers players were waiting for the stadium staff to build a temporary podium on the chaotic court.During this period, it is also the time when reporters are free to interview players.

In front of An Jie, naturally the one with the most microphones.Media from all over the world wanted to hear what the gritty guy had to say after winning the title.

An Jie kept smiling, perhaps this was one of the rare moments when he wasn't bored by the media.

"I enjoy this moment very much, and I believe my wife, children, and all the fans who support us will enjoy this moment. Two years, we have been away from the finals for two years. Now that we are back at the top, everything is like a dream .” An Jie faced the camera with some residual tears on his face.God knows what it feels like to win the championship, to make such a tough guy cry like a child.

"When the game ended, what were you thinking in your head?" None of the reporters forgot the scene of Anjie and James kneeling on the ground at the same time at the end of the game.

"Oh, a lot of stuff was going through my head. Really? We really were underdogs, we really won a championship without George and Damien? Seeing LeBron go down , I knew it. That's right, it's true!" An Jie laughed as he recalled the scene just now.

"What will you do this offseason? Travel around the world with the O'Brien Cup? Or, continue to sweat in the training hall?"

"It's not Kevin, I'm going to be with my family. I'm going to be with my family all summer long. I've missed too many of my son's birthdays and I've left my wife alone A lot. This summer, I will dedicate all my time to them." When he said this, An Jie's eyes suddenly became very gentle.In addition to the championship, being with his family may be An Jie's greatest wish now.

The reporters still had a lot of questions to ask, but the temporary podium was ready, and An Jie was the first to step onto the podium under the pull and push of his teammates.

Once again, Anjie can once again look down on the entire arena from this place.where is jamesThat guy should be in the locker room by now.I haven't had time to hug him yet, I should hug him.Because James persisted until the end, he won great respect in An Jie's heart.

After a while, Bill Russell and Adam Silver also walked up.An Jie knew that the O'Brien Cup was about to be sent to his arms!

Soon after, the awards ceremony officially began.Under the boos of the fans in the Quicken Loans Center arena, Adam Silver, the guy who just issued a huge ticket to the Trail Blazers, took the microphone with an embarrassed smile.

On the stage, he first thanked James and the Cavaliers in accordance with the usual practice. Without them, the fans would not have seen such a wonderful series.

In the past, An Jie would not pay too much attention to this sentence.But this year, when Adam Silver said that, An Jie applauded vigorously.Silver is right. The Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James, who fought to the last moment, are also worthy of respect.

After that, the players on the stage began to get excited.An Jie fixed his eyes on Xiao Hua, hoping that he could get to the point quickly.

"Now, let's award the trophy to the 2017-2018 season NBA champion, congratulations to the Trail Blazers!" Xiao Hua raised the trophy and handed it to Anjie.

After An Jie got the O'Brien Cup, he found that this gold cup seemed to be much lighter than the previous three.After all, 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 has probably been sent to the Moda Center.Now for the Trail Blazers players, the most important thing is to celebrate the victory.

An Jie suddenly raised the fake O'Brien Cup over his head, and the others stretched out their arms immediately, surrounding An Jie and the trophy.

The boos of the Quicken Loans Center arena reached its climax at the moment, but in Anjie's ears, the sound was no different from the cheers of the Moda Center!

George and Lillard, two guys who couldn't go out with the team, were so excited that they yelled at their homes. Anjie won the championship, which means that next season, both of them will have a championship ring in their hands!
After that, Anjie handed the O'Brien Cup to Morris.Next, it's time for the finals MVP awards.

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 to break through the playoffs, but also directly won the championship trophy.This kind of honor is not comparable to others.

Seeing Bill Russell holding up the FMVP trophy with a kind smile, the rest of the Trail Blazers took a step back and gave the stage to An Jie.

During the Finals, he averaged 35.8 points, 17.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.8 blocks per game.From the data point of view, if An Jie wins the award, he will deserve it.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you and your Trail Blazers to come back. Congratulations Ann, you let me, an old man, see another miracle!" Russell finished speaking, handing over the trophy with a smile.

An Jie raised the FMVP trophy high, this is also the first time An Jie has touched such a huge honor in the past two years.

An Jie looked at the entire court. On this familiar basketball court, he had been struggling for ten years.And at this moment, he stood on the top again.

Just wait, I'll get more, more championships before I retire!
After that, Anjie and his teammates naturally accepted interviews from media from all over the world. CCTV even set up a temporary studio on the court, and invited An Jie as a special guest, and conducted an exclusive interview with him.

During this period, An Jie's hands would rub the knee that was still in pain from time to time.But in front of the championship, everything is no longer important.

After a long time, the Trail Blazers finally satisfied the appetite of the reporters after winning the championship.And An Jie and the others were finally able to return to the player channel an hour and a half after the game ended.

This year, because they were not favored before the game, and they won the away game.Therefore, Anjie and the others will no longer have a whole box of hundreds of expensive champagne to celebrate winning the championship.

Therefore, when Anjie and the others returned to the player channel, it seemed much calmer than in previous years.However, when An Jie led the team to push open the door of the locker room, the big man wearing a baseball cap and a Trail Blazers championship commemorative T-shirt smiled knowingly.

"I fucking called you to order it! Now I can only deliver these at most, brothers, let's make do with it!" Ricard looked profusely sweating, and behind him was a car delivering food from a restaurant. Used metal carts.

There are two ice buckets on the trolley.In the ice bucket, there are three bottles of champagne that are not expensive.Between the two small buckets, there was a plate of fruit salad that had just been delivered from the supermarket and was covered with plastic wrap.This scene couldn't help but make some players laugh out loud.

Although there are only six bottles of champagne, although the plate of fruit salad looks very funny.But compared to the extravagant scenes of the previous three championships, today's scene made An Jie feel more warm.
The happiness of winning the championship cannot be measured by money.As long as we are still together, as long as we are still able to win.That's enough.

"Thank you, boss." An Jie walked up and hugged Ricard tightly.

When An Jie let go of his mentor, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Then what are you waiting for!? Brothers!" An Jie grabbed a bottle of champagne, shook it violently, and then sprayed it on Ricard.

"Hahahaha! Let's fight!" Morris also picked up the ice bucket and splashed it in the locker room.

The entire locker room became chaotic again, and the players stuck out their tongues greedily, hoping to drink a few more sips of the sprayed champagne.

An Jie frantically sprayed his teammates, and his teammates also sprayed him.This year's champagne war didn't last long. In a short while, six bottles of champagne were squandered.Only a group of wet and alcohol-smelling men were left, sitting in the messy locker room and giggling.

Although there are only six bottles of champagne, although it is not favored by the outside world.But look, the Blazers locker room is still as lively, cheerful and happy as in previous years.
