Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 3 I guessed the beginning but couldn't guess the ending

Hinrich sat on the edge of Anthony, and when he heard Andrews say that Anthony was not feeling well, he finally understood why Anthony was extremely abnormal.

He is a rookie, so he naturally knows the significance of this confrontation. Anthony was originally the biggest favorite for the No. [-] pick. Chris Grant, seeing James' wonderful performance, will he still choose Anthony as the No. [-] pick this year?
After Andrews said that, seeing the expressions on the faces of the general managers, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had already caused an adverse impact on Anthony's draft, it was unavoidable. An unwell Anthony can no longer be played.

Frank's psychological adjustment was quite quick. After hearing Andrews' request, he also accepted the fact that Anthony could not play. He called Jarvis Hayes over and asked him to replace Anthony to play, and then sent the other four Called over and began to design tactics around another No. [-] pick, Darko Milicic.

This super insider from Serbia and Montenegro, although a little thin, has already proved himself to be a reliable inside scorer in the international arena.

In the following time, Anthony sat on the bench and watched the game of the red and white team. Darko Milicic really deserved to be a big killer inside. Facing the inside line composed of Bosh and Kaman, he made gorgeous footsteps at the basket. With a soft shooting touch and rich experience in international competitions, he quickly turned his opponent around, and the score remained stalemate. By the end of the halftime, the point difference was still controlled in single digits, 46:54.

The midfielder of the Challenger League does not have to go back to the locker room to rest like a regular game, but to shoot blues in the field, and the second half will start after 10 minutes.

Anthony sat on pins and needles throughout the first half, and the two lines of words on the computer screen before crossing kept appearing in his mind.

"Are you heartbroken? Do you want to change the fate of this tragedy?"

"Don't dare to decide?"

He chose to dare, but does he really dare now?He is not familiar with Anthony's body at all, and his understanding of basketball knowledge is quite lacking. With him like this, can he change Anthony's tragic fate?Or he'll just send Anthony down a path of obscurity.

This is by no means what he wants to see.

But what should he do?After he came on the field, he contributed to the team besides turnovers and iron strikes, what else can he do?What can he do?
Various images of Carmelo Anthony’s career flashed in Anthony’s mind. The biggest controversy surrounding Anthony is his passing ability. Such as An Fengxian, An Lubu, and teammates CBA are all used to describe his image of a lonely hero of.

Anthony thought about it, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"Melo, are you okay?" Hinrich saw Anthony keeping his head down, turned his head and asked in concern.

Anthony looked up and saw that it was Hinrich. In his impression, he was only a qualified starting point guard for the Bulls, but at this moment he seemed closer than anyone else. He smiled reluctantly at Hinrich.

"It's okay. I know your strength. Don't be too depressed. When you enter the NBA in the future, you will have a lot of opportunities to face James. Then you can save face." After all, Hinrich is a little older, speaking Time is also guided.

"Kirk, can you score?" Anthony asked suddenly.

"Score?" Hinrich looked at Anthony strangely. He didn't know what Anthony meant by saying this. A super scorer asked himself if he would score. Is it just to hit him?This seems unlikely.

"Yes, I remember that you should play shooting guard this year, and your scoring ability should not be weak?" Anthony continued to ask.

"It's okay, it's okay, but it's definitely incomparable to you." Hinrich recalled his poor performance in the finals, and there was a hint of sourness in what he said.

Anthony didn't care about Hinrich's sour taste, but went on to say: "I have been observing the game just now. The scoring points of the red team are mainly concentrated on James, Wade and Bosh. James and Wade are good at breakthroughs. Bosh Good at mid-range, but they're missing one very important thing."

"Three-pointer?" As a defender, Hinrich immediately understood what Anthony meant.

"Yes, Ford is playing with Wade. He is a super fast guard, but he doesn't have a three-pointer." Anthony said and looked at Hinrich with a sudden smile, "But you are different, After you changed to shooting guard, I clearly remember that you made more than [-]% of your three-pointers, and Pietrus also has a certain number of three-pointers, so we have a chance."

Hinrich's face was lighted up by what Anthony said, but immediately, the frustrated expression covered his face again, and he said helplessly: "Three-pointers need to have gaps, if there are no scorers to compress their defense , then you won’t get a chance to make a call at all. If you can fight, the tactic you said will probably succeed, but now..."

Anthony clenched his fists. What Hinrich said was right. Compared to the red team, the white team only had a super scoring point like Carmelo Anthony. Didn't reach the point of pressing the defense.

"I'll talk to Coach Frank and see if he can do anything." Hinrich suddenly stood up.

"I'll go with you." Anthony also stood up.

"Melo, what are you going to do?" Andrews, who had been staring at Anthony, saw him getting up, and was afraid that he was going to play and would stop him when he stood up.

"Calvin, I'm just going to take a look." Anthony replied to Andrews, and then walked towards Frank with Hinrich.

Andrews wanted to say something, but seeing that Anthony had passed, he could only sit back in resentment.

Hinrich found Frank and told Anthony's thoughts. He thought that Frank would also regret that Anthony could not play, but unexpectedly, Frank came up with a bold idea, let Anthony attack with the ball, but not really singles, but Let him attract James, who has the widest coverage of the red team's defense, and then let Collison help Hinrich pick and roll three-pointers.

Frank's idea is very good, but the key point is that Andrews has not let Anthony play. This is obviously a plan that can only stay in the fantasy stage.

Anthony pondered for a long time. Instead of sitting for half the court, he might as well go on the court. Even if he really failed in the end, at least he had fought like a man.

Thinking of this, he said to Frank, "I can fight."

"Melo, your body..." Hinrich was startled by Anthony's sudden voice.

"It's okay, I can do it." Anthony looked back at Andrews and whispered, "Don't let Calvin see it later, just play before the game."

Frank and Hinrich gave Anthony a strange look. They didn't have much contact with Anthony before, and they didn't expect "Little Melon" to be so approachable.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the second half began.

Andrews kept staring at Frank, for fear that Anthony would play again. When the whistle sounded, he was relieved to see Anthony sitting obediently on the sidelines, and turned his head to stare at the general managers for a while. Seeing that they didn't discuss anything, I felt a little more at ease.

However, the moment he withdrew his gaze, he was suddenly taken aback. The place where Anthony was sitting was empty, and he focused his gaze on the field. The ball faces James' defense.

"Damn it!" Andrews cursed, the game had already started, and it was obviously unrealistic to call Anthony down.

With Anthony on the court, the general managers also refocused their attention on him. There were doubts in their eyes, but there were more things to look forward to.

Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe was salivating over Anthony, who he had already hailed as the next Tracy McGrady in high school, with an equally quick first step, The same rich offensive methods and precise pull-up jumpers, and even a high fighting spirit that McGrady does not have.

However, as someone in the manager's circle, he has more or less heard that the Cavaliers have reached a verbal agreement with Anthony's agent and will pick him up as the first choice. A feeling of being overwhelmed and underwhelmed.

In the first half, Anthony contributed a turnover and a three-way non-stick. He was also a little confused and didn't understand what was going on for a long time. He didn't realize it until Andrews said that Anthony was unwell. He saw the same relief beside him. Chris Grant and Joe Thomas, he was very anxious, but Anthony has been sitting on the bench after leaving the field. He has nothing to do, so he can only be anxious.

But no one thought that Anthony would re-enter the game in the second half!

Vandeweghe's mind was racing and he soon realized his opportunity had come.

"Chris, you can see that Anthony's face doesn't seem to be unwell, and he can play again." Vandeweghe turned his head and said to Grant.

"Yeah, I also think that things are not as simple as we think, Kiki, what do you think?" Joe Thomas on the side echoed. The general manager of the draft still holds a very cautious attitude towards this draft.

Grant was silent and did not speak. He felt a hint of conspiracy from the words of the two general managers next to him.

"Do you think it's because of poor confrontation ability?" Vandeweghe said speculatively, "You must know that the NCAA game is incomparable with the NBA. Anthony's defense in the NBA will not be weaker than today."

This time, even Thomas was silent.

"There are not a few players who have killed the Quartet in the NCAA and cannot adapt to the NBA. The closest one is Joe Smith. His statistics in college are not much worse than Anthony, but look at the present." Vandeweghe strikes while the iron is hot Said.

"Kiki, what do you want to say?" Grant finally spoke.

"To be honest with you two, I originally wanted to choose the high school student or the big white guy from Serbia and Montenegro, but now it seems that these two are the NBA No. [-] picks this year." Vandeweghe said with emotion .

"boom!"

While they were talking, James broke through Anthony's defense and made a powerful tomahawk-style dunk, which quickly attracted the attention of the audience.

Chris Grant twitched, hesitated, and wrote a few words next to Carmelo Anthony's name: LeBron James, native of Cleveland.

Seeing Grant's actions, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Kiki Vandeweghe's mouth.
