Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 31
At the media conference after the Spurs and Nuggets game, both Ginobili and Anthony were asked by reporters about what happened in the last scene of the game, and their answers were also somewhat intriguing.

Ginobili, with a gloomy face: "You can ask Melo yourself, but there is one thing, it is not honorable for Melo to win..."

Anthony, with a smirk on his face: "Did I yell? Oh, yes, I may have asked Miller to help me defend..."

The media didn't ask the truth about the game, maybe even the players on both sides didn't know what Anthony was saying in Chinese.

Perhaps only Anthony himself knows.

After answering the reporter's questions, Anthony couldn't help but think of the scene before the finale.

……

At that time, Ginobili made an open three-pointer. Suddenly, a thought flashed in Anthony's head. He yelled at Ginobili: "Manu, your mother is calling you home for dinner." Already!"

Ginobili was about to hit the game-winning goal full of confidence, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and it was such a strange sentence, his hand shook involuntarily, and the ball had already been shot.

"Dangdang!"

The ball hit the right edge of the basket and bounced out of the frame.

"beep!"

When the final whistle sounded, Ginobili failed to counter the lore.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Anthony showed a wretched smile. This "scary defense" on the field is really effective as always.

……

In any case, Anthony and his Nuggets defeated the defending champions, and the first shot of the new season was deafening, and the lingering sound continued.

After the fierce game, the media reports swept in like a gust of wind. Anthony scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists to lead his team to the championship.

On the same day, James also completed his debut in Cleveland, but at the end of the third quarter of the game, he used too much force and had to leave early due to foot cramps. In the end, he only scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Data, the Cavaliers also swallowed the first regular season defeat.

In the career office, James' agent Aron Goodwin cursed furiously as he read Anthony's overwhelming publicity in the newspaper.

After sleeping in a San Antonio hotel overnight, the Nuggets flew back to Denver early the next morning.

On the plane, the players recovered from yesterday's exhaustion, all of them were in good spirits, and they all seemed a little excited.

Chris Anderson is a Californian, and Californians are good at expressing themselves. He is currently performing the poker tricks he learned from his brother in the middle of the plane. His funny and exaggerated movements made his teammates laugh non-stop.

For Anderson, the team's rotation player, Anthony is quite familiar with it. This person is nicknamed "Birdman". Later, he also played for the Jiangsu team of the CBA for several seasons. He is a representative of the passionate and wild faction.

What makes Anthony even more affectionate is that he has Chinese tattoos on his left and right arms. The one on the left is "good" and the one on the right is "evil". It can be seen from this that he is a very Chinese player.

Originally, such a tough player has always been known for his toughness on the court, but at this time on the plane, this tough guy is performing magic tricks, and it is mainly for entertaining everyone. It may be really hard to imagine this screen.

Nene, Miller, White, Barry and other main players surrounded Anderson and yelled to their heart's content, but players like Ryan Bowen and Mark Pope stared out the window intently, their faces always It is filled with lingering melancholy clouds.

For these fringe figures in the NBA, playing is a job for them to support their families. They will not change their mentality too much because of the team's victory or defeat. Guarantee, or get a good contract through hard work on the field.

The NBA, like everywhere else, is hierarchical.

Anthony looked at those marginalized people, and couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart. Before the time travel, he worked in the enterprise with trepidation, with that meager salary, and worried that the boss would be in a bad mood one day. Fired, how much difference is there between myself and marginalized people at that time.

Fate gave him a chance, he must cherish it, otherwise he will be the only one who regrets it.

Thinking of this, he clenched his fist unconsciously, he believed that he could do it!

Just when Anthony looked back, he suddenly found that Leonard and Camby neither participated in Anderson's magic show, nor looked out the window, but were discussing in a low voice with the coach's tactics .

Perhaps sensing Anthony's gaze, the two looked up at Anthony strangely, then put away the tactical board, put on earplugs and turned around.

Only then did Anthony realize that since the Spurs game, he and the two of them hadn't even had a verbal exchange.

"Melo, what are you in a daze for?" At this moment, Barry came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, the 34-year-old veteran seemed to have a new season this season because of Anthony's small lineup. As a sign of Erchun, I have a heart of gratitude to Anthony.

Anthony was brought back to his senses by a slap, and turned to see that Anderson's funny magic show was over, and the players also dispersed to their seats.

"Nothing..." Anthony shrugged.

"Are you homesick?" Barry asked after sitting down behind Anthony.

"Home?" Anthony's body trembled suddenly. In his body, blood was thicker than water for Mary and Daphne, but his real home was in another small town on the other side of the ocean.

"Yeah, I can't wait to go back and eat the steak my wife fried for me..." There was a hint of love in Barry's eyes when he spoke.

"Steak?" Anthony asked casually.

"Yes, don't underestimate the steak. The steak cooked by my wife is famous in our town. It is much more delicious than those made in those steak shops. Next time I have a chance, I must take you to try it. ..." Barry couldn't help drooling from the corner of his mouth when he was talking, it seemed that he was really homesick.

Anthony smiled and nodded.

What about the food at home? I don’t know if Su Xi’s cooking counts. In Denver, the house where he and Su Xi live is considered his home, but it’s not a real home, although there are also mouth-watering meals.

Seeing Anthony's empty eyes, Barry thought he was homesick, so he didn't continue talking, but turned his head and looked out the window.

There are white clouds outside the window, and the endless whiteness fills the eyeballs, giving people an ethereal feeling, as if they are a free bird, with no worries, no pressure, only emptiness, nothing at all, which makes people relax .

The plane landed at Denver Airport after flying over the United States for more than two hours. After Anthony took his luggage and said goodbye to his teammates, he got into a taxi and couldn't wait to go back to his rented residence.

The speed of the car was fast, Anthony looked at the time, at 11 am, he hurriedly urged the driver.

The buildings outside the window flew by, but he couldn't wait any longer.

The feeling of home is like an arrow.

Su Xi is studying medical and nursing courses at Syracuse University. If Anthony remembers correctly, Su Xi has no class this afternoon.

The car finally arrived at the gate of the villa in a burst of speeding. After paying the fare, Anthony hurriedly opened the gate, but he didn't find Su Xi's figure. His originally excited face suddenly became silent. I feel something is missing.

Putting the luggage in the room, Anthony lay on the bed, looking at the white ceiling, and Su Xi's pink and cute face flashed uncontrollably in his mind.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, he had asked for a phone number last time, and sent a text message to Su Xi directly asking why she was not at home.

The text message was sent and there was an echo within a short while.

"Melo, you are back. There is an emergency today. I went to help. You wait at home. I will rush back to cook before dinner. You wait~"

At the end of the text message was a mischievous expression, and Anthony's heart trembled when he saw it.

After Anthony replied that he knew, he walked out of the room to get a cold bread from the refrigerator to warm it up, but when he opened the refrigerator, it was actually empty.

It seems that during his absence, Su Xi seems to have carried out a liquidation operation...

Seeing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Anthony's head, and then he ran into a nearby supermarket with his card.

He decided to reciprocate and cook a meal for Su Xi.

Radishes, vegetables, potatoes, fish...

He threw the same thing into the shopping basket, and he didn't stop until he couldn't fit it. After swiping the card, he took the car home. Seeing that Su Xi hadn't come back, he was relieved, and then took all the vegetables into the shopping basket. In the kitchen, I rolled up my cuffs and got ready to start working.

Although Anthony was not good at cooking before crossing, he still knew how to cook a few home-cooked dishes.

After washing and chopping all the vegetables, the seasonings were also lined up on the kitchen counter. After confirming that nothing was left behind, he turned on the induction cooker, and this started his first self-reliant cooking after time travel. The great cause of vegetables.

Maybe Anthony himself didn't expect that the cooking would take such a long time this time. By the time he cooked all the five dishes and one soup, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

After bringing all the dishes to the table, he thought that Su Xi would not come back for a while, and only then did he feel that he was busy cooking, and his stomach was growling with hunger, so he turned around and went to the kitchen Take the bread you bought, and prepare to eat one to fill your stomach.

"Squeak~"

At this moment, the door of the living room was pushed open, and Su Xi walked in directly wearing a casual dress.

Anthony heard the sound of the door being pushed, stuck out his head with a piece of bread in his mouth, and saw Su Xi in a pink dress, his heart suddenly trembled.
