The Way of the Center

Chapter 846



Chapter 865 : Eve

An Jie completed the lore. This was a happy day. But today, no one can laugh. Especially in Portland, the past few days have been completely shrouded in shadow.

The favorite player of countless people, on this great day, suddenly announced that he would retire after this season. This lore is likely to be the last lore in his career. Although Anjie did not retire today, the day when he retired is not far away. The fans are now holding their fingers and counting the days.

The day after Anjie announced his retirement, the official website of the Trail Blazers and Anjie’s Twitter and Weibo directly exploded.

Countless fans rushed into these websites, expressing a meaning in different languages: “Please don’t leave!”

When Anjie announced his retirement, the number of clicks on the Internet soared. Even some big men shed tears while watching the video.

The media began to frantically search for wonderful shots of Anjie’s career. The most commonly seen sentence in newspapers and news websites is: “An era is about to end.”

Wu Hua is undoubtedly the saddest one of all reporters. From the time Anjie went into obscurity, Wu Hua has followed him in Ames. It can be said that Anjie made Wu Hua’s career as a sports reporter. Now, this guy who walked with him all the way is about to leave.

This reporter, who has been on Anjie’s side from start to finish, has been with him for 16 years like a good brother, is about to say goodbye to his best friend.

On this occasion, Wu Hua couldn’t write an article on the contrary. As long as this guy thinks of Anjie’s career, he will always be in a daze. After going down for a few hours, I found that nothing was done. Because looking back at An Jie’s career is also equivalent to looking at Wu Hua’s own career.

Although Wu Hua has been unable to deliver the results for a long time, but the newspapers are not easy to urge, Wu Huatuo will let him delay. Because the agency believes that only the articles written by Wu Hua are the most flavorful and can best reflect An Jie’s entire career.

Wu Hua is the only reporter in the world who can do this.

In addition to the fans, there are naturally many people within the NBA who have expressed their voices.

“People always say that he is full of fighting spirit, in fact, he is more fighting spirit than people think! I like him, I like everything he shows on and off the court.” This is Kobe Bryant posted on his Twitter. The paragraph above, with a picture, is a photo of An Jie covering himself.

You know, this is a Kobe who is eager to win and paranoia. It is not easy for him to praise someone with his blocked photos. There is no doubt that Anjie conquered not only fans, but also superstars like Kobe.

“Ann is the greatest player in the world, yes, the greatest center is no longer enough to describe him. The biggest regret in my career is that I have never beaten him once. Bless you, man.” As for being Anjie defeated James again and again, and he also expressed his views on Anjie’s retirement. This guy not only didn’t hold a grudge, but also gave An Jie a high evaluation.

James originally thought that after joining the NBA, he would usher in an era of his own. Unexpectedly, another guy changed everything.

As for the current players, after every game, someone will always come up to take a picture with An Jie and hug. Although they are opponents on the court, in private, the players are still very willing to give away this legend.

The most exaggerated game was the one where the Trail Blazers challenged the Thunder before the All-Star Game.

After the game on that day, all the Thunder players stood in a row and hugged An Jie. The Chesapeake Energy Arena fans slogans “Welcome Home”. Even the Oklahomaians have not forgotten the brief time Anjie played here. Even if it was only three years, but once had the legendary Oklahoma City Thunder, I think it is glorious.

The moment Westbrook hugged Anjie, his eyes were suddenly flushed. The scenes of the two fighting in the NCAA March Crazy Championship are still vivid, but now, An Jie is about to leave the court. This **** guy, he said he was going to win the championship together…

As for the All-Star Game, this year’s All-Star Game has completely become An Jie’s special game. Most of the fans who came to watch the game came rushing for An Jie’s last All-Star.

In the All-Star Game, Anjie appeared with his wife and children more than once. Looking at this happy family, it is no wonder that An Jie wants to be with them.

After the All-Star Game, all the star players participating in the game recorded a video wishing An Jie. All this made An Jie deeply moved. NBA is not just a cold battlefield, in this battlefield, it is also full of human touch.

After the All-Star Game, the Trail Blazers’ results have risen steadily. Everyone hopes to send off the heroes of this team with the best possible result. Although the older Trailblazers want to win the championship, the possibility is not high. But the players still work hard, they just want to fight Anjie this last season.

In the end, the Trail Blazers reached the playoffs with a record of 51 wins and 31 losses, leading to the third place in the Western Conference.

During the playoffs, as long as it’s a Trail Blazers game, it will definitely be full and the ratings will explode. Although Anjie is about to retire, he did not relax himself on the court. This guy is still doing his best!

An Jie’s opponents also gave him the utmost respect. This does not mean that others will release water during the game, but that they will guard An Jie strictly as always. Besides, a center who can still average 17.6 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, who dares to let him go?

In the first round of the playoffs, Anjie led the team to defeat the Clippers again. Although the Clippers today are very different from those of the past, Anjie still has a sense of accomplishment. At least when I faced the Clippers team, I never lost!

In the second round, the Blazers encountered the powerful Los Angeles Lakers. Ingram and Lonzo Ball, who are in their prime, have restored the Purple and Gold to their former glory. This year, the Lakers are heading for the championship. The aging Trail Blazers are not a stepping stone to the Lakers at all.

However, the stubbornness of the Trail Blazers and Anjie surpassed everyone’s expectations. Anjeening was willing to fall down again and again, get up again and again with difficulty, and would never give in half a step.

Julius Randall, known as “Little Morris”, is not a good crop. His impact will always make people sweat for Anjie. However, the 36-year-old veteran was stunned by dragging the injured leg and blasting the Lakers’ entire inside line.

Julius Randall? In An Jie’s words, although this guy worked hard and had first-rate physical fitness, he was far from Morris.

In the end, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers fought to a tiebreaker. In the decisive battle, Anjie turned the tide, scored a game-high 33 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and sent 4 blocks, helping the Trail Blazers narrowly beat the Lakers by three points and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

I don’t know if it was God’s arrangement. In the Western Conference Finals, the Trail Blazers ran into the Oklahoma City Thunder, the old club Anjie in his heyday.

Under the premise of owning the old guy Westbrook, the Thunder also has two popular young stars. They scored 69 wins in the regular season this season ranked first in the league. The strength gap between the two sides is obvious.

In the playoffs, the Thunder, which is eager to win, will not be merciful because Anjie is a veteran of the Thunder.

They won two home games cleanly, and then another victory in the away game. In an instant, the total score in the playoffs became 3-1. Everyone knows that Anjie’s remaining games are probably running out.

No matter how reluctant the fans, this legendary ending battle may have to be staged recently.

This evening, An Jie stayed for training again after many years. In his last few games, Anjie hopes to draw a successful conclusion to himself.

Dreams start here, and dreams end here.

“Boom, boom, boom…” In the training ground of the Chesapeake Energy Arena, the sound of the collision between the basketball and the hardwood floor was once again interwoven into a beautiful song… ..

An Jie glanced at the rebound, and took the ball seriously. This time, really, it’s time to say goodbye.
