The Way of the Center

At this time last year, Curry was sitting in the dressing room and turned on the TV. He didn't do anything else, just wanted to see Anjie's mvp awards ceremony.

At that time, Curry's eyes were full of yearning. He very much hopes that one day he can become a great player like Anjie.

However, just a year later, Curry led the Warriors to a record of 73 wins, only one less than the 74 wins set by the Trail Blazers. And most importantly, this year's mvp awards ceremony, Curry does not need to watch it on TV.

"Let us congratulations, Steven! Curry!" Adam Xiao Hua shouted, pulling Curry out of his memories.

The baby-faced guard No. 30 smiled and accepted the trophy in Xiao Hua's hand. Until this moment, Curry still couldn't believe that all this was true.

Last year, the scenes that made Curry yearn for in front of the TV are now truly happening to Curry himself!

The Warriors’ small ball play and Cullina’s super three-pointers covering the entire half regardless of distance have become the object of learning by the entire basketball world.

At this moment, the hot Warriors and Curry are almost like a team, that is, the Portland Trail Blazers last year.

In the Warriors this season, people can always clearly see the shadow of the previous Trail Blazers. The two teams have also set records one after another. Both teams are also very strong on the field, and both teams also have an epoch-making superstar. So this year, the Warriors' call for the championship is also the biggest. After all, the record of 73 wins lies there. If the Warriors still lose like this, it would be too shameful. After all, in the history of the NBA, no team has ever lost the O'Brien Cup with a record of more than 70 wins in the regular season.

One day after the mvp awards ceremony, Curry and his Warriors had a tie-breaker with the Thunder.

The battle was very fierce, because after so many years of ups and downs, the Oklahoma City Thunder finally couldn't wait to taste the O'Brien Cup. But unfortunately, in the end, Westbrook shot only 33% and Curry scored 37 points, allowing the Warriors to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder at the last minute and advance to the Western Conference Finals!

At the end of the game, the expression on Durant's face was very complicated. He no longer listened to Westbrook's comfort to him as he used to. Maybe the defender who always loved himself at the critical moment could no longer convince Durant.

Durant was thinking, thinking about something he had never thought of before...

※※※

The Warriors are full of joy and can successfully reach the Western Conference Finals. This also means that they will meet the Portland Trail Blazers, who eliminated themselves last year! Curry and the Warriors waited for this revenge for a whole year!

Although the Trail Blazers dragged the crippled lineup, but under the outstanding performance of Angel and Lillard came to the position of the Western Conference Finals.

"I know this year's Warriors team is very strong, but the team will definitely go all out. We are not easy to mess with!" In an interview with the media, Anjie expressed his strong determination. Although the lineup of the Trail Blazers this season is indeed not that luxurious, the basketball game is not a simple "1+1=2" game.

With the Warriors who have scored 73 wins this season, Anjie is very confident.

"War of the Century!" This is the name that the media came up with this year for the duel between the Blazers and the Thunder. It can also be seen that the Warriors this season have become so strong.

However, this year, Curry did not live up to everyone's hopes of him.

With the shortcoming major general Portland Trail Blazers, Anjie and Curry fought until the tiebreaker.

Only in the end, the Warriors' advantages in hard power began to be revealed. A guy like c.j. McCollum, after arriving on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, simply can't perform as well as they did during the regular season.

Damien Lillard is active enough, but compared to Curry, this guy's performance is still slightly inferior.

Anjie averaged 32 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks per game. The data is enough to make him deserve respect, but it can't make him win the game.

At the end of the game, An Jie suddenly collapsed to the ground. This season, he feels really too hard.

The burden of the entire team rests on himself. The constant invasion of injuries also made the team's performance unstable. And all of these factors will eventually fall on An Jie alone. If he doesn't carry the team to win, who can?

Carrying on, Anjie once again reached the Western Conference Finals. It's just that when facing a powerful warrior, even An Jie can't handle it anymore.

Looking at Curry, who was celebrating wildly on the technical stage, An Jie could only helplessly shook his head. Getting used to the championship, suddenly failed again in the playoffs. An Jie discovered that he still felt sore in his nose...

The offseason comes early, and Anjie hasn't "enjoyed" such things as early vacations for a long time. But if possible, Anjie hopes that he is still fighting for the championship on the field.

On June 23, 2016, Anjie’s birthday. On the morning of the first day Anjie was 27, he reached an agreement with the Portland Trail Blazers in the office of the Moda Center.

Paul Allen and Nell Orsi have signed a 5-year super contract worth 202 million for An Jie! In order to keep Anjie, the giant of the East, the former Microsoft giant has done everything possible!

Anjie smiled and signed his name on the contract. He didn't even let Meslav check the details of the contract. He believed in Portland just as Portland believed in him. Even though he has just experienced an unsuccessful season, An Jie did not hesitate to bet all his future on the city of Portland.

No, to be more precise. Anjie has bet his career in Portland! Five years later, Anjie will be 32 years old. No one knows what will happen during the five-year period.

The 202 million contract is also very likely to be the last major contract in Anjie's career.

The news of Anjie's contract extension with the Trail Blazers shocked the whole world. Because the amount of 202 million is a contract amount that has never appeared in the history of nba!

An Jie’s contract has a player option for the last year, has the right to veto the deal, and with such a large amount, the Trail Blazers are quite sincere.

In this way, the story of Anjie and the Trail Blazers is destined to continue. However, the hottest news of this summer did not come.

The final result of this season was somewhat unexpected. The Warriors, who defeated the Thunder and the Trail Blazers and scored 73 wins in the regular season, actually lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James in the finals. The Warriors, embarrassingly, became the first team in NBA history to win more than 70 games in the regular season but failed to win the championship.

Although the 15-16 season is over, the NBA heat has not faded. A few days later, on July 4, news that was even more explosive than Anjie’s 202 million contract renewal trailblazer suddenly surfaced.

Kevin Durant, the good brother of Anjie and the strongest king in Oklahoma, actually officially announced that he is about to join the Golden State Warriors who just defeated his own in the playoffs!

"Are you sure!?" On the phone, An Jie's voice was full of surprise. He couldn't believe that Durant would leave Oklahoma. I can't believe that Durant's home will be the already very powerful Golden State Warriors!

You know, the Warriors already have an mvp like Curry, and now, another mvp-level guy has to join in. Such a combination, looking at the entire history, has never existed!

On the other end of the phone, Durant's voice was very calm. "Back then, we fought together. And now, you have created a dynasty of your own. What about me? I haven't even touched the side of the O'Brien Cup. I want the championship trophy as much as you do, Ann . I can’t stand it, I’ve been doing nothing for my entire career."

"A championship?..." An Jie looked at Portland's night sky thoughtfully. This alliance is really getting messy.

"You do this, Russell's side..." Anjie knew Westbrook's character very well. He knew that Westbrook would definitely not have any good feelings about this matter.

"Russell seems to be reluctant to pay attention to me lately, hahaha...but I think he will understand me after all." Durant's laughter was full of bitterness, but all the bitterness was in front of the championship. , Not worth mentioning.

"Hey, Ann. If I meet next season, I won't be soft!"

"You bastard, when did you feel soft?"

As of July 4, 2016, the three Thunders, who had shocked the league, eventually dispersed. But when Anjie and Durant talked on the phone, he still felt that everything he had once appeared in front of him.

"Do you think the three of us can get the O'Brien Cup?" Durant asked.

"Of course!" An Jie replied decisively.

Back then, when the three were still in Oklahoma, the scene of Durant saying these words became a moment that An Jie would never remember. Only now, no one can think that the agreement between them will be completed in this way...

After hanging up ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Anjie called Westbrook again. Sure enough, this guy is angry with Durant now.

"I will prove it to everyone! Even if Oklahoma is only me, I will bring this team to the top!" Westbrook is as energetic as before, but he and Anjie have already Not young...

In 2016, this summer of chaos has just begun. An Jie's opponents have become stronger and stronger. How long will the summer that belongs to the Trail Blazers come again?

An Jie didn't want to take a five-year contract of 202 million yuan to retire in Portland, a dynasty, three O'Brien Cups, and still not feed An Jie's appetite.

An Jie will definitely do it if he plans to retire with three more championships!

Maybe this summer does not belong to the Portland Trail Blazers, but Anjie believes that that moment will always come...

Year after year, people come and go. Only the heart of the champion is eternal...
