The Way of the Center

Chapter 855 :Triumphant return

After leaving the field on the day of the championship, the Blazers players bought a lot of wine to take back to their hotel.

In the rooms of Angel and Morris, the players of the Trail Blazers gathered together, drank and chatted, and constantly took photos with the “fake” O’Brien Cup.

Although this trophy is just a fake, the players all know that the real one must have been put into the showroom of the Moda Center by the Blazers staff at this moment. The original league moved the O’Brien Cup to prepare for the tiebreaker, but unexpectedly, the Blazers laughed directly.

Everyone who was drunk still started a video chat with George and Lillard in the middle of the night. Although it was already two o’clock in the morning, George and Lillard, who were recuperating at home, were the same as Anjie and his gang who were celebrating. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all.

These two guys celebrated the victory with their teammates through their mobile phones. Of course, they hoped that at this moment, they were really on the scene.

After drinking, everyone on the Trail Blazers fell asleep. They don’t have to worry about whether they need training tomorrow, whether they need a game tomorrow, or whether the Cavaliers’ small lineup will suddenly explode outside the three-point line.

It’s over. This long and short season is all over. And they became the winner who survived to the end…

Last summer, the Blazers’ operation in the free agent market caused a big explosion in the public opinion community. With a gorgeous lineup, the Blazers’ regular season performance did not disappoint.

Although the Trail Blazers have experienced injuries, they have turned from a favorite to become a weaker that even bookies are not optimistic about. But in the end, with the efforts of everyone remaining, the Blazers won the final victory.

They did not disappoint anyone, this O’Brien Cup is absolutely worthy of the sensational summer. This O’Brien Cup definitely taught those who had despised the Trail Blazers. Never, never underestimate the heart of a championship.

Despite the twists and turns, the 2017-2018 season of the Trail Blazers was undoubtedly a success. They defeated a super team and finally climbed to the top. The biggest winner is none other than them.

The players of the Trail Blazers slept in the messy room, at least tonight, they can have a good night’s sleep with peace of mind.

The next day, the Blazers players did not wake up slowly until noon. Each of them was thinking about the various experiences of last night, and some guys even giggled involuntarily.

An Jie underwent a comprehensive examination by the team doctor as soon as he woke up, but fortunately, this guy’s knee was only sprained and the structure was completely intact.

After getting this news, everyone on the Trail Blazers also let out a sigh of relief. Although the season is over, the Trail Blazers have won the championship. But if Anjie’s knee is hit again, it will definitely affect his career.

Although it was just a sprain, An Jie was still unable to walk the next day because of delayed treatment and excessive fatigue.

The team doctor couldn’t help joking with An Jie. “It seems that our mvp has to go back to accept the worship of the fans with a cane.”

The fact is also true. When the reporters surrounded the Trailblazers who were preparing to return at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, they were all taken aback by Angel, who was holding a stick. Looking at An Jie’s strenuous walking, it’s really hard to imagine that this guy is the same guy who blocked James yesterday.

The reporters questioned with concern. Of course, under the obstruction of the airport security, only a few people were able to approach the Blazers players and coaches.

Ricard was stopped by a local reporter in Portland, and the content of the question was naturally about Anjie’s injury.

In front of the camera, Ricard first shook his head, his expression very disappointed. This reporter, who is also a fan of the Trail Blazers, looked pale with fright by his expression.

“Ann’s injury…I’m sorry…” Ricard touched his nose and continued. “It is a pity to tell the other 29 teams in the league that Ann’s injury is not a major problem. Next season, he will continue to be your nightmare!”

Seeing the reporter’s expression, Ricard laughed.

Ricard’s humorous remarks made reporters seem to have taken a roller coaster ride. However, most people were relieved after learning that An Jie was okay.

Also, if An Jie was severely injured, he wouldn’t be able to stage such a wonderful hero return scene yesterday. This Portland hero is not so easy to fall now.

The cheerful Trail Blazers boarded the plane with the O’Brien Cup and the Bill Russell fmvp trophy, left Cleveland, a place of right and wrong, and flew towards their hometown of Portland.

Seeing Cleveland disappearing under the clouds, Anjie smiled and closed his eyes. Home, it’s time to go home.

The sun in mid-June was already very hot, but at the Portland International Airport, Wu Hua and other reporters had to wait under the venomous sun.

Since the Trail Blazers won the championship, reporters today also have the privilege of going to the tarmac to report to the world the scene of the heroes returning home.

In addition to the reporters, George, Lillard and Anjie’s family were also waiting on the tarmac. Catherine took Anxiang’s little hand and looked into the sky expectantly.

In the hot summer, the color of the sky is very beautiful. In addition to this bunch of people on the tarmac, Portland International Airport has been occupied by Trail Blazers fans. This may be the most popular flight in Portland’s history.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, the huge roar of the plane finally sounded. Through the broadcast at the airport, people have learned that the plane that is about to land is the plane that the Trailblazers returned in triumph.

The reporters set up guns and guns, the fans shouted with excitement, while Catherine and An Xiang couldn’t help laughing. The man in their hearts is coming back!

The plane landed slowly, and the sound of the camera “clicks” surrounds Catherine’s ears.

“Dad is back?” An Xiang took Catherine’s hand.

“Yes, Dad is back!”

The plane came to a halt slowly, the cabin door opened, and the stairs had already been set up. Everyone was looking forward to it, looking forward to the first person to walk out of the cabin.

In the next second, a big man wearing a Trail Blazers championship baseball cap and a commemorative t-shirt with a walking stick, holding an O’Brien Cup, was the first to walk out of the airplane gate.

“It’s Ann! It’s Ann!”

“Welcome back!”

“Good guys! Good guys!”

An Jie had just got out, and the crowd at the scene was boiling. At this moment, the group of people on the tarmac have put down their work. At the moment, they are all **** fans of the Trail Blazers!

An Jie laughed and raised the O’Brien Cup in his hand, and the others also poured out from behind An Jie. These glorious sons of Portland finally appeared in front of people.

After that, An Jie slowly walked down the stairs. He stuffed the O’Brien Cup into Morris’s arms behind him, and then went straight to the two people he cared about most in the crowd.

An Jie did not speak, he threw away the walking stick, put Catherine in his arms with one hand, and hugged An Xiang tightly with the other.

After that, more and more people stepped off the plane, and they hugged their families and close friends respectively. The scene was full of joy, as perfect as Wu Hua imagined.

What happened after that was no longer important to An Jie. He was all satisfied with the autographs of the fans, and he did not refuse the invitation for a group photo. As long as he can be with his family, Anjie is happy. What’s more, this time, is there the company of the O’Brien Cup?

The championship finally returned to their territory. At the end of that day, the Trail Blazers once again gathered in the showroom of the Moda Center The genuine and spotless O’Brien Cup was lying in the showcase. Next to it are three other golden trophies.

In just a few years, the originally empty showroom has been decorated with four championship trophies.

“A great achievement, guys, I’m so proud of you.” Ricard looked at the four trophies in the glass cabinet, feeling that they were simply the most beautiful things in the world.

“Not enough, such a large showroom, there can be more to put down!” An Jie’s words made everyone smile. This group of guys gathered together, but they just want to win a championship trophy!

“Happy holiday, guys.” An Jie put his arms around his family, turned and smiled at everyone. This smile is as sunny as when he was twenty.

Yes, the holidays have arrived. The O’Brien Cup afterwards? Let’s talk about it next season. Now, Anjie just wants to enjoy the time with his family.

Another summer destined to be perfect, another day worth celebrating.

Happy holidays, Anjie.
