Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 34
"Well, they are all young players. Then Kiki, go and see if there is a possibility of a trade." Kronko said directly without thinking too much.

Anthony looked up at Kronko, his eyes suddenly burst into a strange look, the boss is really bold!
Vandeweghe nodded, feeling a little excited in his heart. The reason why the boss is so interested in Anthony's potential. As long as the team has a good record, Anthony will become the new team leader. With high popularity and high box office, the bosses will have money in their pockets. There will be more!
"Well, Mello, do you have any other suggestions?" Kronko continued.

At this time, Andrews tugged on the corner of Anthony's clothes again. Although the boss adopted Anthony's suggestion just now, he had inadvertently offended Walken, the operating president. If he offended another one, it might not be a good thing for Anthony.

Anthony also knows what enough is enough, but he has to say the next suggestion, because if he doesn't say it, the previous one is useless. He ignored Andrews' actions, but continued: "And I think the head coach can Try another."

"Change the coach?" This time, not only the executives present, but even Kronko was shocked by Anthony's proposal. You must know that a player's status is not high enough, and it feels like to change the coach. It's a little defiant.

"Melo, although Jeff's performance in leading the team last season was not very good, I think he still has some abilities. Since he coached, the mental outlook of the team has improved a lot." Kronko euphemistically Said.

"I think Coach Jeff has done a good job on the mental level, but tactically, when playing against the Spurs, this is also the reason why the team is struggling. Our defense and offense are very passive..."

"Ahem..." Before Anthony finished speaking, Vandeweghe coughed.

When Anthony heard the cough, he naturally knew what it meant. He also knew that he couldn't say any more, so he immediately turned around and said, "But it's not necessary to change coaches. If Coach Jeff also pays attention to tactics, I think he will definitely be able to." As good as he's done mentally."

"Well, let's wait for a while to read about the head coach. Come on, let's finish eating first, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Kronko didn't ask Anthony again, and Anthony knew that his trip to the boss invitation was over.

When he came out of the manor, Vandeweghe deliberately went to Anthony and said something like this: "I will try my best to try the player's problem, but Walken is right. The season has just started. If the trade is forced, the team will It will be very disadvantageous. As for the head coach, this is not the time for you to comment. What you said earlier will reduce points in front of the boss. I know that although you are doing it for the good of the team, don’t mention this kind of thing in the future. .”

Hearing what Vandeweghe said, Anthony can imagine what the other executives were thinking. He, a rookie, actually proposed to the boss to change the head coach. This is probably unprecedented. At this moment, Anthony Only then did he realize that he was too hasty.

In the car, Andrews didn't mention what happened at the dinner table. Although he knew that Anthony was in a hurry, he was just a broker after all, hired by Anthony.

After driving for a while, Anthony didn't want to think about what he had done, but it was about Su Xi. At this moment, he thought of asking Andrews, "Calvin, is there really that full-time medical staff you mentioned?"

"This kind of thing, Melo, in fact, you can have it if you want it. A woman, I just want to find some psychological comfort for myself." Andrews is a smart person. The idea is nothing more than wanting to keep the person you are talking about by your side.

"Uh... Then how do I explain it then?" Anthony didn't expect Andrews to mean that.

"Just make up a nonsense reason, don't worry, if you really can keep it, she will believe it even if you tell her it's a new one." Andrews said noncommittally.

"That's right..." Anthony looked at Andrews in surprise. He didn't expect him to be a master of love despite his age.

The car went all the way back from the suburbs and soon arrived at the villa. Before parting, Andrews told Anthony that he had found some cars for him and would take him to see them when he was free.

Anthony also realized that he didn't have a car yet, and it was really inconvenient to go out. After agreeing, he opened the door and entered the house.

The villa was pitch-black. Anthony looked at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. He didn't expect that Su Xi hadn't come back yet. Sure enough, the job of a nurse in the United States is not so easy to do.

He pushed open the door of the villa, saw that the living room was a bit messy, picked up the broom to clean up everything, and sat on the sofa for a while, half an hour passed, and Su Xi hadn't come back yet, so he took out his mobile phone Sent a text message asking.

There was no reply to the text message for a while, and Anthony couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he thought that sometimes hospitals are not allowed to bring mobile phones, such as operating rooms.

He couldn't be sure for a moment.

After waiting for a while, Su Xi didn't reply until the clock reached twelve o'clock. Anthony couldn't wait any longer. He stood up from the sofa, took a coat and went out of the villa directly.

Denver United Hospital is a medium-sized medical institution in Denver. It is located in the southeast corner of downtown Denver. Su Xi's part-time job is here. When Anthony got to the hospital by taxi, it was already [-]:[-] in the middle of the night. Only the sound of carnival coming from some nightclubs was still faintly heard, but when they really arrived at the hospital, the surroundings seemed unusually quiet.

When we arrived at the hospital, Anthony went to the front desk to ask, and learned that Su Xi was really in the operating room. It was time to get off work, but Su Xi left late because she was a part-time job, but she came to the emergency department temporarily, and she was called in the end. To the operating room.

Anthony found the operating room mentioned by the front desk and saw several family members waiting anxiously outside. He found the chair at the end and sat down, pulled his collar and leaned there and waited.

Time passed by every minute and every second, half an hour, one hour, two hours, Anthony gradually felt sleepy and couldn't resist the onslaught, the upper eyelids kept fighting with the lower eyelids, and finally struggled for half a day An hour later, he leaned back in his chair and fell asleep.

"Melo, Melo..."

In a daze, Anthony heard someone calling him, and his body swayed, and he stood up abruptly after a smart move.

With a "bang", he suddenly felt that his head hit some soft place, which was as elastic as a rubber ball.

"Oops~"

A soft hum woke Anthony up from his stupor. When he opened his eyes, he saw Su Xi clutching his chest with a painful expression on his face.

Looking at Su Xi's actions, and thinking about the previous feeling, he suddenly realized that he must have accidentally bumped into Su Xi's chest just now. With such a big head, it really hurts to hit him directly...

It's just that the chest was hit, and he couldn't help rubbing it even if he wanted to...

"Ahem, Su Xi, are you alright?" Anthony asked a little embarrassed when he saw Su Xi seemed to want to rub but was embarrassed to rub.

"I'm fine." Su Xi grinned, put down her hands, looked at Anthony suspiciously and said, "Melo, why are you here? And you're still sleeping in this kind of place, you'll catch a cold."

"Ah!"

Before Su Xi could finish his sentence, Anthony sneezed violently. A place like a hospital is naturally cold, and he did indeed catch a cold when he fell asleep.

"Look, you put on your clothes first, wait for me, I'll come after I change." Su Xi said and walked quickly towards the changing room next to the operating room.

Anthony agreed, and hurriedly put on his clothes. Unexpectedly, with Carmelo Anthony's body, this cold came just as soon as he said it.

Coming out of the hospital, Anthony suddenly found that there was no taxi at the door, and the surroundings were quiet and eerie.

"Let's go back." Su Xi pulled his coat and said suddenly.

"..."

Anthony looked at Su Xi strangely, and said after a while, "Su Xi, is this not the first time you have taken this kind of night walk?"

Su Xi didn't speak, but just nodded.

It's really not easy. This kind of night walk, not to mention the psychological fear of girls, is real. If you meet a **** or something, the consequences are unimaginable, but Su Xi seems to have left many times...

"This is the first time it's so late, and the patient in that operation is very unstable..." Su Xi explained.

Anthony suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Su Xi, who trembled, but did not refuse.

The two walked in silence, neither of them spoke, only the sound of their footsteps and their breathing accompanied them.

After walking for a long time, when street lights appeared all around, Su Xi slowly took his hand out of Anthony's hand and said, "Melo, I'm really sorry that I caused you to accompany me on such a night walk in the middle of the night... ..."

"It's okay, but you, a girl, must be very scared?" Anthony said, clenched his fists.

"At first I was also very scared, but then I gradually got better, but last time... I saw someone being robbed by the side of the road. See..." Su Xi said with lingering fear.

"Did you cry yourself to sleep that day?" Anthony naturally thought of the tears he saw that morning.

"Hmm..." Su Xi nodded. Last time Anthony returned the clothes to her, it was normal to see her cry.

Anthony stopped suddenly, put his right hand on Su Xi's shoulder and said, "Su Xi, I found a new job for you."

"New job?" Su Xi's weary eyes sparkled for a while, but it quickly dissipated. She said with some frustration, "I don't think I can do anything other than being a nurse now..."

"You can do this. I went to talk to my agent. He said that every NBA player has a full-time medical staff. He wanted to find it for me. I thought of you right away..." Anthony said with bright eyes.

"But... I don't understand those..." Su Xi heard that Anthony hired him, and had expectations, but felt that he couldn't do it.

"It's okay, it's very simple, just like you are a nurse, as long as you take good care of me."

"..."

"Don't worry, you don't have to work overtime, as long as you are at home when I am at home."

"..."

"I will pay you according to the average salary of the NBA. It must be much more than what you earn in this hospital."

"..."

"Su Xi?" Anthony saw that Su Xi had been silent, and called over his head.

"Ok?"

"How about it?"

"Is there really such an easy job in the NBA?" Su Xi's big eyes were full of doubts.

"Yes!" Anthony said confidently.

"What time do I go to work?"

"..."

"Can I go to work tomorrow?"

"can!"

"Then let's go back..."

"It's such a happy decision!" Anthony patted Su Xi's shoulder lightly, and the deal was considered a final decision, and it was completed. What Andrews said was indeed right, all a woman needed was an excuse to convince herself.
