Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 184 Kevin Durant

The winning streak of the Nuggets ended, and the gaming company took the opportunity to make a big profit. However, because the amount involved was too large, the league even investigated the referees on duty for the Lakers and Nuggets, but it was finally confirmed that there was no toot in the game. Phenomenon, the alliance can only let it go.

However, for the Nuggets, what they encountered was not only a loss, but also the loss of the core of the backcourt and an important backup shooting guard, which also made them mixed in the next few games. Losing to the Spurs, winning to the Jazz, losing to the Grizzlies, and winning to the Mavericks, with such results, they also came to the end of March. At this time, there is less than a month left before the end of the regular season. Relying on the advantages accumulated before, the Golden Team still occupies the top spot in the Western Conference, but the advantage is gradually shrinking.

On this game rest day, Anthony was spending their honeymoon with Fox in Hawaii, but his high school coach Steve Smith called him, saying that Kevin Durant had agreed to transfer to Oak Hill High School this year. Today is the day to report to Oak Hill High School.

Anthony was shocked when he heard the news. Durant was a rookie in 07. He ranked second in the draft that year. In the end, he became one of the best small forwards in the league. He is a very powerful player. Rand joined the Nuggets, it will definitely be a perfect combination.

Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. It must be known that the player's own willingness in the draft also has a very large decisive factor in the draft. Moreover, it is only 04, and there is still a lot of room to accumulate trading chips. , The possibility of losing the second place in the list is very high, and other team managers must also consider it, and Anthony still has a trump card that he has not used.

After Anthony finished his honeymoon, he called Vandeweghe and D'Antoni non-stop. After making an appointment with Smith, he flew directly to Oak Hill High School the next day.

Oak Hill High School, the No. 150 high school in the United States, is located in Virginia. The number of students in the school is kept at about [-] all year round. The number is small, but it is very famous because it has produced many NBA stars. It belongs to Anthony. After he became famous in the league, the popularity of Oak Hill High School reached a new peak.

But Anthony knows that Oak Hill will become more famous in the future, because Kevin Durant and Rajon Rondo are both stars from Oak Hill, and this place has also become a base for star training.

Arriving at the gate of Oak Hill High School, Anthony, Vandeweghe, and D'Antoni looked at the lush campus, and there was a sense of tranquility.

Anthony has the memory of Carmelo Anthony, so he has a heartfelt intimacy with the campus in front of him, and Vandeweghe is because of Anthony. Anthony, who is now the darling of the league, is naturally the person Vandeweghe cares about most. I am very curious about the high school Anthony attended.

D'Antoni didn't pay much attention to these, he was only very interested in the "genius" in Anthony's mouth.

The three of them arrived at the school gate, and staff soon guided them into the campus, because it was only March, and the spring in the United States was not long, and Virginia was located in the north, and the temperature was still relatively low, so Anthony and Durant's meeting was arranged in the arena.

Durant is a well-known high school student, but his fame has obviously not reached its peak at the moment, otherwise he would not be easily pried into Oak Hill High School by Coach Smith. One day, Durant heard that Anthony and the general manager of the Nuggets wanted to meet him, which made him more excited than ever.

You know, although Anthony is a rookie, his status in the league can already be compared with Kobe Iverson, and he also led the Nuggets to an astonishing 18 consecutive victories not long ago, but now he is just a player who has just become famous. High school students, obviously not everyone has the opportunity to meet this kind of meeting, and more importantly, both the general manager and the head coach of the Nuggets came to meet him, a high school student. It was allowed, so could it be that he was chosen?

Feeling apprehensive and unknown, Durant and Smith stood at the gate of the arena and waited.

After a while, Anthony, Vandeweghe, and D'Antoni appeared in front of them.

When Anthony saw Durant, he looked very young compared to what he remembered, and his face was full of smiles.

Durant was already a little nervous, but when he first saw Anthony, he gave him a bad smile, which made him even more nervous.

However, Anthony did not greet Durant immediately, but went directly to Smith and gave him a big hug.

After the two sides greeted each other politely, after Smith introduced the two sides, they all entered the arena.

Anthony looked at Durant's demeanor, and couldn't bear the tension in his youth. He suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart. You must know that in his previous life, Durant was an unattainable existence for him, but now , The status of the two people seems to have completely changed.

However, Anthony was only emotional for a moment. He knew what the purpose of his visit was, so he followed Vandeweghe into the arena without thinking too much.

After entering, the two sides didn't say much, and then began to observe Durant's personal display.

This personal display is similar to the trial training, and it is divided into several links.

The first is dribbling, running back and forth, and then there are catching and layups, shooting these items, perhaps because of nervousness, Durant did not perform very well in shooting, which made Anthony slightly wrinkled while watching Frowning, you must know that Durant will become famous in the league in the future because of his shooting skills. Although it took two years of training in the Sonics to stabilize, he is not alone watching at this moment. Vandeweghe and D'Antoni are two The boss is watching, but he is not the only one who has the final say.

Sure enough, as Anthony expected, after seeing Durant's poor shots, D'Antoni's face could not hide the disappointment, but Vandeweghe did not express it.

However, the next catch and layup eased, and a look of surprise flashed across D'Antoni's disappointed face. Durant was still growing tall at the moment, and his current height is about 2 meters. But perhaps to make up for the regret before shooting, he showed his flexible body coordination during the layup process. His slender body is sitting on the railing, doing giant swings, and gliding dunks, looking very relaxed and freehand.

Soon, the trial training was over, Vandeweghe and D'Antoni approached Coach Smith and chatted, and Anthony took the initiative to walk to Durant's side.

After Durant showed off, he saw that the two top executives of the Nuggets had gone to talk to Smith. He had a bit of disappointment on his face, as if he was not reconciled to his messing up the shot, but obviously many things were not important. He was annoyed that the opportunity had come, when he suddenly saw Anthony walking towards him, his whole body suddenly became tense.

After Anthony walked over, he greeted directly and said, "Hey, Kevin, how are you doing, are you a little nervous?"

Durant didn't know what Anthony's purpose was, so he said calmly: "Fortunately, today's state is not particularly good."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly smiled, looked at Anthony like a child and said, "Compared to this, Melo, I really didn't expect that you would come to see me at Oak Hill High School. You don't know how much you are now. famous……"

Anthony looked at Durant, he was a completely ignorant teenager, he behaved like a child at the moment, he felt a strange feeling, but he still smiled and said: "Kevin, I think you will definitely There will be a chance to do it.”

"Me?" Durant looked surprised. Obviously, he was caught off guard by what Anthony said.

"Believe in yourself, I think you are a person who will believe in yourself." Anthony smiled, took a basketball from the shooting rack next to him, and said with a smile, "Come on, don't be nervous, show me another shot. "

Durant looked a little nervous when he saw Anthony's actions. He knew Anthony's current status. Anthony was giving him a chance, and the Nuggets were giving him a chance, so he couldn't control his excited nod at the moment.

But Durant will never know that the purpose of Anthony's trip is for him.

Durant took the ball handed over by Anthony, dribbled twice before reaching beyond the three-point line, and jumped directly.

The ball spun with a beautiful arc and flew straight towards the basket.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the ball was hollowed into the net, and there was a crisp sound, which quickly attracted Vandeweghe and D'Antoni who were chatting over there.

"Come on, go on!"

Anthony didn't mean to stop, but continued to give the ball to Durant.

After Durant shot the first ball, he suddenly felt smooth. Hearing what Anthony said, he took the through ball from him, and then directly pulled out his hand.

With a bang, the three-pointer hit again.

Anthony didn't stop, and continued to throw the ball to Durant. Perhaps it was because of Anthony, the "caddy". Divide the ball, and the sense of rhythm is very strong.

This time, Vandeweghe and D'Antoni both looked at each other in blank dismay, and they saw deep doubts in each other's eyes. To say that their performance against Durant was not bad, although it did not reach the level of "genius" in Anthony's mouth, but Now that he is only a sophomore in high school, he obviously still has a lot of room for improvement, so he plans to come back next year to observe for a while, but Durant's precise shooting at this moment is completely opposite to the previous one. How could they not be surprised.
