Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 22
The game was interrupted for more than half an hour, and the situation was not calmed down until the coach pulled the players from both sides, preventing the game from becoming an all-out fight.

Both Anthony and Nene were pushed to the bench by Bzdelik, the Raptors only replaced Davis, and Carter remained on the court.

Anthony sat on the bench and watched Carter perform dunks again and again, feeling aggrieved in his heart. He had asked coach Bzdelik several times, but the reply he got was only four words, he was not allowed to play!

He sat on the chair depressed, with his head down, unable to understand what Bzdelik was thinking, but the coach said no, he just couldn't. He could only watch the game blankly, waiting for the coach to change his mind.

This sitting actually lasted the whole game, and when the final whistle sounded, Bzdelik didn't let him play again, and Nene also sat for the whole game, so angry that he almost smashed his chair.

Without Anthony and Nene, the Nuggets encountered a massacre in the face of the indiscriminate bombing of the Raptors.

87:115, two points and thirty points away.

After the game, the Nuggets players were depressed and silent. After taking a shower, they all dispersed and went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.

Dragging his exhausted body, Anthony returned to the villa, only to find that Su Xi hadn't returned yet.

Having not seen Su Xi for a few days, Anthony felt a little lonely in his heart. He leaned on the sofa and wanted to wait for her to come back, but he fell asleep after a while because of exhaustion.

"Lazy pig! Get up! Lazy pig! Get up!  …"

The crisp alarm sound woke Anthony up from his sleep. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, and suddenly felt something slipping from his body. When he looked down, it was a woman's coat.

"Su Xi?"

Anthony immediately thought that it was Su Xi who covered him. He turned off the alarm and looked at his watch. It was 05:30 in the morning.

After hesitating for a moment, he glanced upstairs, then walked up the stairs lightly.

Before reaching the second floor, he smelled a pleasant fragrance in the air, his heart was beating violently, and he was about to enter a woman's boudoir, as if he were a thief.

The layout of the second floor is different from the first floor. To be precise, it should be much empty than the first floor. Except for a small room near the road, the rest is the living room. In the living room, there is only one table and one On the sofa, there was half an unfinished piece of bread on the table, and on the sofa, Su Xi slept there covered with a blanket.

Anthony walked gently to the sofa, squatted down, and looked nervously at the beauty in front of him, his heart was beating violently, and his face was flushed with tension.

At this moment, Su Xi suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the blanket away from his body.

Anthony's breathing was stagnant, and he didn't dare to move for a moment, his little heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst out.

After staring at Su Xi for a while, and finally realizing that she was still asleep, he stretched out his hand to let go of his tense heart, and let out a long breath slowly.

But at this moment, Anthony suddenly noticed that the corners of Su Xi's eyes were slightly stained with tears. He reached out and touched the place where Su Xi's face was facing before, and found that it was also wet.

His heart trembled inexplicably.

Su Xi must have cried to sleep last night, but she doesn't know why.

Anthony reached out his hand to wipe away the tears, but before touching it, he suddenly stopped in mid-air, struggled a bit, and finally covered the coat on Su Xi's exposed arm, then turned and left the second floor.

Anthony went downstairs, took out cold bread from the refrigerator, and shook his head vigorously.

"Su Xi and I are just tenants after all, we are not even friends, what was I thinking just now!"

But maybe because Su Xi helped him cover his clothes last night, Anthony was smiling when he walked out of the villa, and his mood improved a lot unconsciously.

In Denver in the early morning, Anthony was still running on the road, and the sleeping people were still sleeping soundly in their sleep.

As soon as he arrived at the arena, he heard a loud "bang bang" sound coming from inside. He went in to have a look in astonishment, and suddenly found that Nene and the others had been training in the arena early, and even Miller and Camby It was all there, and he was overjoyed, and joined the training.

Because there are enough people, they can fight in groups during the day. When the coach came in the afternoon, he was surprised. He obviously didn't expect everyone to come so early.

Tonight is a back-to-back game, but the opponent is the old rival Suns. Because they have played once and know the weaknesses of the Suns, the process of the game is not difficult. The Nuggets finally defeated the Suns 114:100 For the team, Anthony only played 25 minutes and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

A big victory made Anthony feel even better. Before returning to the villa, he specially went to "Grandpa Cheese" to buy a cake for Su Xi.

With a smile on his face, Anthony pushed open the door of the villa and shouted, "Su Xi!"

The voice echoed in the villa, but no one answered him, but he found a sumptuous dinner on the table in the living room. There are a few beautiful words written: Melo, thank you for helping me cover the quilt. I have to work overtime at night. I have been waiting for you for a long time, so you can eat alone! ! !

At the end of the note, three exclamation points were used in succession, and the owner of the handwriting could be felt dissatisfied with the fact that he didn't wait until the end, but Anthony felt warm in his heart when he read it.

When he was in a good mood, his appetite increased greatly. Anthony ate all the food on the table in a storm, and finally burped. After washing the dishes, he sat on the sofa and waited for Su Xi to come back.

After waiting, it was 11 o'clock. Seeing that Su Xi hadn't come back, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, but he didn't ask for Su Xi's phone number, and there was nothing he could do to worry. Finally, he got up and took a pen from the room. , wrote a few words on the note left by Su Xiliu: What is your phone number?I……

He originally wanted to write "I'm worried about you", but after hesitating for a while, he didn't write. He stretched out his hand to cross out the next sentence, and then sat back on the sofa.

After waiting for another hour, Su Xi didn't come back until 12 o'clock. Anthony couldn't resist the exhaustion and fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, he was still woken up by the alarm clock. Anthony got up and went to the table immediately, and found that the note there was gone. He panicked and walked upstairs quickly. He saw Su Xi Lying on the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Anthony approached and looked, and there was a happy smile on Su Xi's face, as if he was having a sweet dream. He looked at it for a while, then covered Su Xi with the blanket, then turned and left.

Today is not a game day, but Anthony still goes to the arena to train, but he and Su Xi don't know why they don't always meet each other. It's like living in a different world.

But seeing that Su Xi was still there, Anthony finally knew that she was still there, and couldn't bear to wake her up from her dream. For a few days, the two of them communicated like this relying on notes.

After three days of rest, Anthony is about to fly to Indiana, where the Nuggets will welcome their third preseason opponent, the Indiana Pacers.

Since the next week is all away games, Anthony will also leave Denver for a week. After leaving Su Xi's updates on the note, he packed his luggage and rushed to the arena.

It's just that maybe Anthony didn't expect that this time, it turned out to be the beginning of his days when the NBA preseason was frozen.

Against the Pacers, Anthony only got 15 minutes of playing time and scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Anthony scored 20 points, 18 rebounds and 3 assists in 2 minutes against the Rockets.
Against the Trail Blazers, Anthony played 18 minutes and scored 25 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

六场季前赛下来，掘金队3胜3负，安东尼场均出场19.6分钟，两分球命中率61%，三分球命中率45%，交出了19.2分3、7分3、5助攻的数据。

The data is not bad, but Anthony is very depressed. After this away trip, he sat down most of the time in each game and watched his teammates play. Watching the team fall behind did not help at all.

After he traveled through time, he imagined that there would be many situations, such as not making a shot at a critical moment, passing the ball not well enough, and not being strong enough to defend, but she never expected that she would be hidden by the head coach.

Is that a kind of mistrust?If so, Anthony has really experienced it. Now he recalls the time when Vandeweghe talked to him, and he is a little confused. Could it be that the Nuggets are not harmonious inside?Conflict between head coach and general manager?

Depressed and confused, Anthony just flew back to Denver from Portland.

There are five days of rest after the end of the preseason, and the regular season will start five days later. On October 10, the Nuggets will fly to San Antonio to challenge the defending champion Spurs. Intense and unusual competition.

It's just that Anthony is very confused now. He doesn't know whether coach Bzdelik will continue to hide him after the start of the regular season.

Depressed, he didn't go back to his residence immediately after returning to Denver, but practiced hard for a day in the arena, and he didn't stop until he was exhausted.

As night fell, Anthony dragged his tired and hungry body back to the villa. To his surprise, he found that the lights in the villa were on, and his heart suddenly felt warm. This is home, and there is Su Xi waiting for him at home. he.

Thinking of this, his depressed mood improved a little, he managed to squeeze out a smile, and then pushed open the door of the villa.

As soon as he opened the door and entered, Anthony saw Su Xi leaning on the sofa, eyes closed, covered with his coat, as if asleep.

On the table, there was a table of delicious food, but it was already cold.

Anthony looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly couldn't help but blame himself. When he was training in the arena, he only thought of his depression, but he didn't consider Su Xi's feelings. When he left a message on the note, he said that today he would When he came back, Su Xi must have cooked a good meal and was waiting for him, but he...

At this moment, Su Xi's body suddenly moved, and the clothes on his body slipped off.

Anthony hurried forward, picked up the clothes and covered them again.

Su Xi's eyes trembled a few times, slowly opened, looked at Anthony in confusion, came over for a while, seemed to confirm that the person in front of her was Anthony, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said excitedly: "May Luo, you're back!"
