The Way of the Center

After the awards ceremony, the players rushed to the locker room one by one. This is a hard time for the reporters carrying the cameras, because they also have to keep up with the players.

"Hahahahaha, we are the champions!" Lillard took two glasses of water from the hands of the player tunnel staff and started to pour them in front.

"You fucking fuck up Damien later, I promise!" Robin Lopez, who was splashed by the water, said "ruthless words". It seems that after entering the locker room later, he and Lila A big war is inevitable between Germany and Germany.

At this time, the Heat players in the locker room of the visiting team were all depressed. Although James was about to leave, he still shed tears of unwillingness.

But at this moment, no one remembers the losers. This is a night that belongs to the Blazers, and this is a carnival night that belongs to the championship.

"Peng!" Iguodala, who ran first, slammed open the door of the locker room, and the box of champagne worth $160,000 lay quietly in the corner. When they participated in the awards ceremony, the official staff of the Trail Blazers had already helped them pry open the box. Now, more than a hundred bottles of expensive champagne are lying in it, waiting for this group of crazy players to fall into their arms!

"Oh my God! That guy Paul really spent his money! What are you waiting for, guys, let's go!" An Jie, wearing a national flag, swiped through the crowd in a swimming posture, and rushed up first.

This tall No. 00 can not only drive everyone on the basketball court, but off the court, this guy's leading role is also obvious.

Under the leadership of An Jie, the players grabbed the champagne one by one and shook them violently.

The reporters following the shooting couldn't help but take a step back. After a while, there is bound to be chaos here!

"Hiss~~~bang!" The champagne in An Jie's hand spewed out first, and Robin Lopez standing in front of An Jie became the first guy to be shot today.

His afro was soaked in champagne in an instant and was in a mess. Afterwards, the sound of the champagne cork being flicked was continuous. The "reserved program" of the championship team every year, the champagne battle officially begins!

The year before last, when the Heat won the championship, the champagne James and the others used cost less than fifty dollars a bottle. This year, the price of a bottle of Moët \u0026 Chandon non-vintage champagne prepared by Paul Allen for the players is as high as more than 1,000 US dollars. And at this time, there were more than a hundred bottles of this stuff in that big box!

Paul Allen burned $160,000 just for the players' brief celebration in the locker room. That $160,000 is literally burnt because 90% of these Champagnes would be wasted. At $160,000, this is quite possibly the most expensive champagne celebration in NBA history.

But Paul Allen doesn't care about the money. After all, not every owner of the Trail Blazers can experience the moment when the team wins the championship. If it hadn't been for Anjie joining, Paul Allen wouldn't be able to burn the $160,000 if he wanted to.

Anjie finished spraying his own bottle in the "champagne rain". After that, he picked up the O'Brien cup and the Bill Russell cup and stood in the middle of the locker room. Immediately, the champagne in everyone's hands was sprayed towards An Jie.

Surrounded by reporters and teammates, An Jie became the focus of the moment. Everyone knows that this yellow-skinned guy deserves the most credit for the Trail Blazers winning the championship. If it weren't for him to crush the opponent's inside line all the way, the Trail Blazers really wouldn't be able to reach the championship.

An Jie opened his mouth wide, enjoying the champagne sprayed into his mouth. For over $1,000 a bottle, it still tastes pretty good.

"Boys, save some for me!" Just as the players were spraying Angie happily, Ricard and Divac in suits and ties came back.

I saw Rickard untied his tie, threw his suit on the ground, picked up the champagne, and immediately joined the battle.

Before Ricard's champagne was opened, Robin Lopez picked up two full bottles and poured them over Ricard's head.

Divac was still laughing at Ricard, but in the next second, this guy was sprayed thoroughly.

This Iguodala guy is sitting in the corner with champagne in one hand and a cigar in the other. He smiled and looked at the teammates who "injured each other" in front of him, while he quietly enjoyed this moment of honor.

Leaving the 76ers to join the Trail Blazers, the original decision made Iguodala tangled up for a long time. Follow in the footsteps of a Chinese in the NBA? It seems that there has never been a precedent for success.

But now, when Iguodala is holding two championship trophies. He knew that he had made the right decision back then.

Maybe he will continue to stay with the Trail Blazers, maybe another three years? five years? Or maybe, just retired here?

Iguodala doesn't know, but as long as Anjie is still in Portland, Iguodala will never leave!

"I'm with you, Ann." Iguodala muttered to himself, then he picked up the champagne, stood up abruptly, and joined the carnival...

There are more than one hundred bottles of champagne, and it will take a lot of time to squander them all.

When the whole case of wine was taken away, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Many players were almost drunk before they walked out of the locker room.

An Jie, whose whole body was covered with champagne, sat in front of his cabinet. After going crazy, this guy suddenly calmed down, recalling everything he had gone through this year.

This season seems to be the smoothest in his career. Anjie played all 82 regular season games and playoffs, and he didn't even suffer a minor injury. Although he experienced the misfortune of Aldridge's mother and Ricard's illness during the period, Anjie still gritted his teeth and did not let the Trail Blazers' record be affected in any way.

In the end, the Trail Blazers created a historic tie with 72 wins. Moreover, like the Bulls, they made a big splash in the playoffs and successfully won the O'Brien Cup.

Before the start of the playoffs, Jordan commented more than once: "72 wins without a championship is meaningless."

But now, even the proud "leader" must admit that this year's Portland Trail Blazers are as great as that year's Bulls.

The Trail Blazers not only performed well in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they won the championship with two 4-0 and two 4-1 scores, which is a manifestation of the strength of this group of guys.

Lost only two of 16 tight playoff games, and the Blazers are still in the strong West. Based on such an analysis, the strength of the Trail Blazers is really astounding.

After the champagne war ended, Anjie and the others didn't stop there. This group of extremely excited guys also planned to go to the local nightclub to play all night.

The players washed off the champagne one by one, changed into handsome casual clothes, and left the messy locker room.

What Anjie and the others didn't expect was that when they left the Moda Center after one o'clock in the morning, there were countless fans waiting for them outside the Moda Center. While the players were partying in the locker room, Trail Blazers fans were having their party outside the court.

The players waved to the fans who had been guarding the game one by one, and the fans who were drunk also shouted in response.

"Damn it, are these guys crazy!?" A young police officer complained dissatisfiedly. He was supposed to rest today, but in order to increase the police force of the Moda Center, this guy was called temporarily Go back and continue to work.

It's past one o'clock in the morning, but this group of drunken fans are still excited. The young police officer didn't know how long he would have to endure.

"Today, let these guys go crazy for a night." A senior police officer patted the young man on the shoulder. How many times has Portland had such a chance to have such a carnival over the years? It's worth it to work hard for Night of Champions!

"The Trail Blazers, invincible! The Trail Blazers, invincible!..." Until the car went away, the loud shouts of the fans gradually disappeared from Anjie's ears.

"Invincible!" An Jie lightly hammered his chest, repeating the words of the fans softly to himself.

Tonight, what a bliss...

After a tense season, tonight, let all the guys who are fighting for it indulge wildly. Who made this group of boys the winners of the championship.
