The Way of the Center

At 7:30 p.m. on June 18, Rose Garden Stadium in Portland. At this moment, the roads around the Rose Garden are already congested. And in the square outside the Rose Garden, a dense crowd of fans are gathering here, watching the game through several temporary Led large screens, and cheering for their team.

Some fans who hold tickets but have not yet entered the stadium due to traffic jams are anxiously walking through the crowd. Players from both sides should have started warming up now. If they go later, they may miss the beginning of the game.

Catherine and his father were two fans who were troubled by the traffic jam. The father took his daughter and shuttled among the fanatical Trail Blazers fans. And some bright-eyed fans also saw that the beautiful girl in front of them was An Jie's girlfriend.

"Is that Catherine?"

"Really? Ann's girlfriend?"

"Oh, that can't be true?"

The fans looked at the father and daughter with surprised eyes, and Catherine felt that something was wrong. Will this group of fans surround themselves? Will those reporters block my way?

However, a few seconds later, Catherine was very moved by the actions of the fans. This group of fanatical guys consciously gave way, and also blocked the reporters from the "wall" by the way.

In this way, Catherine and her father can easily walk to the ticket gate and enter the arena.

"Go girl, bring more strength to An Jie!" The fans began to shout Catherine's name. Sure enough, in Portland, anyone who has a relationship with An Jie can enjoy privileges.

"Oh, God! I've never seen such a scene in Portland!" An ESPN correspondent got off the taxi and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The huge square was full of people, and this group of guys gathered around the large LED screens to enjoy the carnival.

And the scene picture,

It was given to An Jie who was warming up by alternating hooks under the basket. Suddenly, the Portland fans gathered here exploded. As long as the camera is shown on An Jie, it is bound to lead to a small climax.

The police were on the verge of a formidable enemy, for fear that this group of crazy guys would do something. I hope the Blazers can win today, otherwise, it may be difficult for the Heat to get out of the Rose Garden.

On the front of the Rose Garden arena, huge posters of all the players were hung, and An Jie, who was in the middle, raised his head proudly. And these fans inside and outside the arena are all loyal followers of Anjie!

They frantically gathered here, as if they were facing the gods, praying that An Jie could lead the team to create miracles. The reporters of ESPN couldn't have imagined that a basketball player from a foreign country could have such a huge influence.

Nowitzki is the only international player who can be compared with Anjie in terms of popularity in this league.

But the favored side is not necessarily the side with the better game. During the warm-up, Anjie could not help but glance at the seat where Catherine was sitting.

While still in the locker room, Catherine gave the news that she would not be arriving until later. But now it's only a few minutes before the start of the game, why is that seat still vacant?

An Jie couldn't help being a little worried, but this occasion made him have to show 100% of his strength, and there was no room for distraction.

At this moment, Catherine and her father emerged from the crowd. Before this tall and beautiful figure sat down, the first thing she did was cast her eyes on the court.

She saw An Jie warming up under the basket at a glance. Catherine waved to An Jie excitedly, and An Jie responded with a smile.

Well, don't worry. Now, everything is ready, An Jie can put all his energy into the competition!

The scene of Catherine cheering on An Jie naturally failed to escape the eyes of the on-site cameraman. The interaction between her and An Jie was immediately put on the big screen, and the Blazers fans at the scene also gave a huge shout for this.

"Listen, if the Heat's players make free throws here later, we must interfere with them without any room! But if our players make free throws, then keep quiet!" The taxi driver who was favored by Ricard brought He led his son to organize the cheering work in the stands behind the rebound.

This guy is wearing a white T-shirt with "Rip, city" on it, Rip City, which is the name given to Portland by fans when Bill Walton led the team to the championship in 1977.

But since then, this name has gradually been forgotten with the ups and downs of the Trail Blazers.

Now, the arrival of Anjie has ignited the passion of the Portland fans, and it has also given this team the hope of looking forward to the championship and reappearing glory. And the nickname "RIp cITy" was also called up again in the Rose Arena in Portland.

This is an honor that belongs to Portland fans, and it is a unique title for the Trail Blazers and the city of Portland. The taxi driver is proud of being able to wear this short-sleeved shirt. At this moment, he is the sixth player of the Trail Blazers fighting on the court!

"Come on! We're here today, let's take away the O'Brien Cup!" James gathered his teammates together and started the agitation preparations before the game.

At this moment, the O'Brien Cup, David Stern and Bill Russell must be on the scene! It's all here, James doesn't want them to wait one more time.

"This year's finals are really popular." In the luxurious box of the Rose Garden, an old man with white hair looked at the attendance rate of the Rose Garden with satisfaction.

"The two best teams, this is really a peak match." And an old black man put his attention on the players.

On the table between the two old men was the golden O'Brien Cup!

Nell Orsey was next door to this box at the moment, and he personally entertained David Stern and Bill Russell. Of course, Olsi also hopes that his boys will work harder and keep the O'Brien Cup in Portland and the Rose Garden forever!

When the Trail Blazers won the championship, the O'Brien Cup had just started, and the name was still different from now.

At that time, the team that won the championship could only keep the championship trophy for one year. So at the moment in the Trail Blazers showroom, you can't see the O'Brien Cup.

O'Brien really hopes that this time, the O'Brien Cup is not just temporarily settled in the Rose Garden.

"Boom!" Just as Orsi was fascinated, all the lights on the scene dimmed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the luxury box. During the national anthem singing ceremony, there was no running part in every game.

For the singing of the national anthem in the United States, An Jie has never been too cold. If the "March of the Volunteers" was played live, maybe An Jie would sing along seriously, but "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls"? It is enough for An Jie to have a respectful attitude.

An Jie, like everyone else, put his right hand on his chest. But his attention was all on the Trail Blazers team logo under the big screen at the scene.

When Anjie first joined the team, Nell Orsi told Anjie that the ten lines on the Trail Blazers team in a circle represent courage, determination and pioneering spirit. This icon also means Five players from both sides form a 1vs1 duel in a circle.

Courage, determination, pioneering spirit... Anjie may not be able to fully understand the meaning of this, but Anjie can still bring these things to the basketball court!

At the end of the ceremony, the lights were turned on again. An Jie took a deep breath and patted his palm hard.

"Show us our courage and determination! We cannot and will never allow the Heat to win the O'Brien Cup at home!" Anjie shouted loudly, so that James in the other half could hear it clearly Chu.

"Roar!" Everyone responded to An Jie with a powerful roar. An in, or, go, home game must be equipped with the most enthusiastic decisive battle atmosphere!

"Boom..." Catherine couldn't help feeling nervous for Anjie, if...if he lost today, how lost this big boy would be.

"Boom..." Orsi couldn't help drinking a glass of red wine to keep himself calm, and fell behind 3 to 2. This is really a terrible situation.

"Boom..." the taxi driver stopped yelling, he could hear his own heartbeat in this noisy environment. He is very nervous, the basketball that will determine the life and death of the Trail Blazers is ready.

"Boom..." Anjie looked at Bosh, James, and Wade. These three guys are definitely the best trio in the league. An Jie has not forgotten the pain of being crushed by them at the American Airlines Center in the first two games.

But no matter how powerful the opponent is, today, he can only put all his eggs in one basket!

"Beep!" The referee's whistle finally sounded, and the ball flew straight into the air.

Lose or tie-break? Failure or Counterattack? The most important match in Anjie's career has officially begun!
