After a crazy night of tossing, Portland, the city of roses, finally ushered in a brief calm in the early morning.

The nba championship, this is an honor that An Jie couldn't even think of when he came to the United States to study.

The exhausted An Jie was awakened by the strong sunlight. He opened his hazy eyes. The scenery of Portland outside the window made him feel that his heart, which had been tense for half a year, was finally relaxed.

The O'Brien Trophy, the Bill Russell fmvp trophy, the crazy locker room, and of course, the unexpected marriage proposal. Thinking about everything that happened yesterday, An Jie couldn't help laughing. The sense of happiness suddenly hit, and that was definitely the happiest night in An Jie's life.

Before I had enough recollection, An Jie's phone rang suddenly. An Jie in a good mood would not complain about someone calling him early in the morning, not to mention that the person calling was still his good friend Wu Hua.

"What's the matter, Angkor, doing the interview so early?" An Jie's voice sounded very energetic.

"Don't worry about the interview, hey, you know what, boy, you just appeared on the news broadcast." Wu Hua looked at the news sent back from China. At the end of the news broadcast just now, An Jie and his teammates won the O'Brien Cup The screen of the show took up 1 minute and 30 seconds of the program. Now, the news of An Jie's victory is well known throughout China. Even ordinary people who don't care about sports competitions know who An Jie is and what achievements An Jie has made.

"News broadcast?" An Jie felt that this word was a little strange. Since coming to the United States, An Jie had never watched this "big TV series".

"News broadcast!" An Jie suddenly smiled again, he remembered what kind of program this familiar yet unfamiliar word was. The last time a Chinese basketball player appeared on the news broadcast was when Yao Ming retired.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that. It seems that it will be even more difficult for me to go back to China." An Jie scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Forget about the country, when do you plan to start the championship parade?" Chatting and chatting, Wu Hua started to do his old job again.

"The plan is tomorrow, the city government has to prepare the venue and the road for the parade for us. I really don't know what the scene will be like that day." An Jie began to meditate in his mind. Before, he could only look at other people with envious eyes during the vacation. An Jie is really excited about the video of the championship parade, this time he will participate in it himself.

"Enjoy your moment, Ann, I won't bother you. Hey, feel free to invite me to your wedding with Catherine, I will only attend as a friend."

"Hahahaha, it's okay, I don't block reporters!"

Just a phone call gave An Jie a good start to his new day. Looking at the phone again, hundreds of text messages have been stuffed into it.

Teammates of the national team, the Basketball Association, friends of the Thunder, Yao Ming, and the reward notification from Nike An Jie patiently read these blessing messages one by one. He is very grateful to everyone. These guys are indispensable to his growth. partner.

Take An Jie's national team teammate Wang Zhizhi as an example. If the young An Jie hadn't met Wang Zhizhi back then, maybe he would never have known how to be a leader.

So, don't underestimate anyone. It is these people's little help to Anjie that makes Anjie great now.

On this day, An Jie and his girlfriend, no, it should be called his fiancée, Morris and others, played Portland all over.

These people traveled thousands of miles to support him in the finals, and it was time for Anjie to give back to them.

No training, no pressure, no James, no sense of crisis. This is the happiest and most relaxing day that An Jie has had in so many years. During the holidays in the past few years, Anjie would devote himself to training early because of his unwillingness to fail. But this year, he can indulge a little for a few days. After all, this season, An Jie is the biggest winner. Now, he is the man standing at the top of the NBA.

The best defensive player, the best defensive first team, the best first team, the double mvp of the regular season and the finals, and of course, the most important one, the nba championship. Winning awards and being soft-handed is probably talking about Anjie's state this season.

After returning home at night, An Jie and Catherine also discussed the wedding with their parents. Since Anjie and Catherine are very busy and hard at work, they also plan to get married this summer.

In a few days, Anjie and Catherine will both turn 24. It's not too early to get married at this age.

After choosing a date, Anjie will notify Meslav to help him arrange everything. It's not that An Jie has become lazy, but that the manager, Moslav, is too versatile. Whether it's inside or outside the basketball, as long as you need it, Moslav can meet it.

The happy day ended with the wedding decision. Although the parents of both parties were also in the house that night, the two young people who were independent and had a strong relationship could no longer bear it.

An Jie locked the door, and Catherine lingered until late at night. It felt like he hadn't slept long, and Anjie had to get up and join the team to participate in today's grand championship parade.

"I said, what the hell did you all go to yesterday!" When Ricard saw the players at the entrance of the Rose Garden, the group of fighters who were very brave on the field the day before yesterday were all sleepy today.

"Hey, I won't be doing assault training today anyway. So yesterday, I drank a few more glasses." Lillard scratched his head with a smile.

"I don't care what you guys did yesterday, in front of the fans later, cheer me up!" Watching the garishly decorated open-top double-decker bus slowly approaching, Ricard picked up the champion trophy. Now, it's time to feel the enthusiasm of the fans!

"Oh, my, god!" When An Jie boarded the second floor of the bus, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In the entire city of Portland, except for the route of this double-decker bus, almost every crevice was filled by fanatical fans.

300,000 fans packed into every corner of the city, roaring tirelessly. Amateur and professional photographers alike brought their cameras to perpetuate the spectacle in the world. Black and dark red T-shirts were flying all over the sky, people whistled, and children blew their horns.

The 2013 Portland Trail Blazers championship parade officially begins!

The double-decker bus moved forward slowly, and the enthusiasm of the fans rushed towards them, almost knocking An Jie to the ground.

Unknowingly, everyone was infected by this fanatical atmosphere. The players yelled hard and greeted the fans on both sides of the street.

You can even hear the screams from the balconies of tall buildings. The children waved their slogans vigorously, "We love you, Anjie!"

"This is a great moment!" Anjie smiled and put his hands on Ricard's shoulders.

"This is just the beginning, kid!" Ricard said, throwing Anjie's jersey into the crowd.

Anjie began to lift the hard-won O'Brien Cup, thanking the fans non-stop. Suddenly, the cries of mvp sounded throughout Portland. The Rose Garden Arena can only accommodate 20,000 people at most, but on the street, the shouts of fans are unmatched by a mere 20,000 people.

An Jie felt that his eardrums were about to be shattered, and he had lifted the O'Brien Cup for more than half an hour. But at this moment, nothing would make An Jie feel tired. Fighting for a group of people who love you is the most worthwhile!

"For this moment, we have been looking forward to it for 35 years!" Reporters from various TV stations also shouted passionately at the scene. This hard-won carnival moment is worth making everyone stare at the hot sun for a whole day.

Lucia, 71, held up a sign saying "Marry me, Angie" as she tried to pass the bus.

Her wife was by her side, but the old man was not angry. He knew that this was just fanaticism of the fans.

The fans kept applauding and cheering until the parade bus took three hours to reach its destination --- this is the champion city, a unique, proud and joyful champion city!

Near the famous Chinese Garden in Portland, the city government has set up temporary seats and stages there. Trail Blazers players will be there to give speeches to end all this crazy summer.

As for why the location was chosen in the Chinese Garden, of course, it was all because of An Jie. There is only one place in Portland that has Chinese elements and is spacious and beautiful enough.

The mayor of Portland spoke first, and he thanked Anjie for bringing the long-lost honor to the city. Of course, a group photo of all members of the Trail Blazers and the management of the Portland City Government is also essential.

Afterwards, Trail Blazers general manager Neil Orsi spoke for the second time.

In his speech, Orsi expressed his pride in being able to manage the Blazers. Of course, he spent the most pen and ink on An Jie's recruitment process.

"My decision was scolded by countless people at the beginning, but look, what Anjie has brought us now!" As soon as Orsi finished speaking, the atmosphere of the scene became tense again.

Everyone spoke one by one. The two rookies Lillard and Meyers Leonard thanked Anjie for his help in their growth.

Fisher expressed his admiration for Anjie and said that he enjoyed his time playing in Portland very much. He couldn't believe that in the last year of his career, he could still get a championship ring. That's right, the last year, because after that, Fisher used this stage to officially announce that he would retire from the Trail Blazers and end his 17-year career as a professional player.

Aldridge, Iguodala and Batum talked about a lot of interesting things in the locker room. Of course, most of these things are related to An Jie.

No matter who is speaking, no matter what his topic is. An Jie, always the guy who couldn't be bypassed.

Finally, it was An Jie's turn to play the finale. When he took the microphone, the cheers at the scene reached their peak.

"Thank you!" An Jie bowed to the fans as soon as he came up.

"Without you, there would be no glory for the Blazers today! I am very happy that I can come to this city to play. It is the greatest luck in my life to fight side by side with you."

An Jie is not trying to please the fans, every word he says comes from the heart. Fans are always the strongest backing for players.

An Jie continued talking for a long time, and he really had too much to say in his stomach. But An Jie's last words made the gradually subdued NBA league become irritable again.

"This is the second NBA championship trophy in the history of the Blazers, and this is the first time since the 21st century that Portland has held a championship parade! But believe me, guys, in the days to come, I will be there for Portland Bring more honor! This, will never be the last time!"

Anjie's confident speech made the Portland fans excited.

the second? The third? Establish a dynasty? As long as there is An Jie, these things are not impossible.

The Blazers' O'Brien Cup brought suffocating joy to the city. This summer of 2013 is destined to belong only to Anjie and his Portland Trail Blazers
