Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 4 I guessed the beginning but couldn't guess the ending

It is naturally impossible for Anthony to know the communication between the managers. He is staring at James in front of him now, but he keeps glancing at Hinrich who is running from the corner of his eye.

In the first tactical attempt just now, because the tacit understanding was not enough, Hinrich ran out of position, but he made an early pass. As a result, he made another mistake, and James broke through and deducted another one. Now he has to be more cautious up.

Nick Collison is Kansas' top insider. In this year's NCAA playoffs, he and Hinrich formed a super duo of one inside and one outside to reach the final. Although they lost to Anthony in the end, their strength is beyond doubt.

Although Collison is a white player, he is known for his tough style of play and fierce fighting. When he played against Duke University in the NCAA, he scored 33 points and 19 rebounds, which shows how tough he is.

Like Hinrich, he has studied in college for four years, so the cooperation between the two can be said to be perfect.

He saw that Anthony was in position, and quickly ran to the three-point line, and Bosh, who was defending him, followed immediately.

Hinrich dribbled the ball from the right wing of the three-point line to the left wing. His backcourt partner Pietrus quickly made a pick-and-roll next to him. Wade, who was defending Hinrich, was blocked by Pietrus. Ford, who is known for his speed, has quickly made up his defense.

In this block, the two defenders exchanged defenders for each other.

Hinrich did not stop, but continued to run towards Collison quickly, followed by Ford behind him.

At this moment, Anthony made a singles move with the ball.

The player's deterrence is not achieved overnight. Similarly, his deterrence cannot disappear all at once. When Anthony made a singles move, James squatted down and opened his hands to make a defensive move.

Hinrich quickly ran past Collison, and Collison turned sideways tacitly, and he ran over smoothly.

But Ford, who was defending Hinrich, was not so lucky. His speed was too fast, he missed a brake, and hit Collison's arms firmly, and then staggered and fell to the ground.

Hinrich seized the opportunity and immediately turned around and ran back.

Bosh also saw Ford fell to the ground. He strode around Collison to defend Hinrich, but as soon as he moved, Collison's strong body was already on top.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the strong muscles of the two collided, feeling the strength erupting from each other's bodies, and neither of them could move again.

From the corner of his eye, Anthony saw that Hinrich was about to run out of the open space. He was afraid that he would not be able to control the strength of the pass, so he chose to pass the ball safely.

The ball flew out of Anthony's fingertips, bounced to the ground, and flew in front of Hinrich.

People arrive at the ball, no one defends.

"Shh!"

With the crisp sound of entering the net, Hinrich's three-pointer was firmly pocketed.

49:56
The score is approaching single digits.

After Hinrich made a three-pointer, he shook his fist vigorously. As a three-point shooter, the feeling of hitting that shot was really wonderful.

Anthony also squeezed his fist, he finally made a contribution on the court.

Anthony sent a wonderful assist, and the biggest reaction was not the players on the court, but the people off the court.

Andrews' jaw was about to drop. He is Anthony's agent, so he naturally knows him best. How could it be possible for Anthony to take the initiative to pass the ball!Anthony is a natural scorer, and there are at least dozens of ways to crack the defense. How could he take the initiative to pass the ball, and he seems to have no desire to attack at all!
"Could it be that you have diarrhea and have a fever in your head?" Andrews muttered to himself, and he became more determined to help Anthony have a body checkup after the game.

The managers also exploded. They all had Anthony's detailed scouting report in their hands. Almost without exception, the column of characteristics stated that he was a natural scorer, and his weak pass was the introduction of his weakness.

You must know that these scouting reports were not completed in a few days, but were followed for several years, and the conclusions were finally drawn after observing Anthony countless games.

But... is this still the Anthony they know?
Vandeweghe was also a little nervous. He managed to divert the attention of Grant and Thomas from Anthony. This wonderful assist seemed to draw their attention back a little.

No, he must not let this happen.

"Hey, you see, Anthony is cowardly, he doesn't dare to single James." Vandeweghe said suddenly.

"Qiqi, wasn't that a wonderful assist just now?" Thomas looked at Vandeweghe suspiciously.

Grant also turned his attention to Vandeweghe.

"Assists?" Vandeweghe said with a contemptuous smile, "Have you guys forgotten what happened just now? James dunked Anthony just now, and that is a high school student!"

The United States is a country that advocates individual heroism, so the best way to encounter provocations from others on the NBA court is to respond to one, or blow him up.

Originally, Grant and Thomas thought it was a wonderful assist. Hearing what Vandeweghe said, it seemed that Anthony was really cowardly. They all said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Anthony did not dare to face challenges before he landed in the NBA. How to lead a team?
Thinking of this, their impression of Anthony dropped a bit.

Vandeweghe laughed secretly in his heart. He has observed Anthony for a long time than the two around him. Although he did not expect Anthony to perform so abnormally today, he firmly believes that Anthony can be used as the cornerstone of the team to cultivate. , I thought there was no chance to get him, but now that the opportunity came, how could he not grasp it, how could he be unhappy?
Anthony is still holding the ball. With the first experience, he and Hinrich are much more skilled in cooperating. For three consecutive rounds, Hinrich or Pietrus made three-pointers, and the score slowly approached. To 54:60.

White team coach Alex Poelstra finally realized that something was wrong on the court. He called a short timeout and rearranged the defense so that Wade would guard Anthony and James would guard Sinley Odd, also removed Chris Kaman on the inside and replaced him with a more flexible David West from Xavier University.

LeBron James has super mobility. He claimed to be able to play five positions when he was in high school. He matched up with Hinrich and had a huge defensive coverage, which made Hinrich feel extremely uncomfortable. David West also followed closely. Collison, try not to look for physical contact, but circle around Collison like a fly.

This back and forth, Collison and Hinrich to play the pick-and-roll unusually difficult.

"Erics is doing well." The general manager of the Heat, Randy Pfund, saw the changes on the field and expressed his sincere appreciation for the assistant coach under his command.

For an attack by the white team, Collison and Pietrus had contacted Hinrich to do three pick-and-rolls, but they still couldn't get rid of the red team's defense. The attack time was directly consumed from 24 seconds to only 5 seconds left, and the ball remained In Anthony's hands, if he doesn't make a move, he will be 24 violations.

Wade is 1 meters tall and Anthony is 93 meters tall. The difference between the two is 2 centimeters. From the point of view of the matchup, this is a perfect existence, but Anthony is afraid of Wade's blocking shots. You must know that Wade used to be The guard with the most blocked shots in a single season. Second, he is not familiar with Carmelo Anthony's body and still lacks confidence in himself, so he has not attacked.

But now, if you don't do it, you have to do it.

Anthony looked at Wade who was defending him, hit him a bit, learned the moves in the game, turned around and took a step back, and the ball spun and shot from his fingertips.

At this moment, a black shadow covered Anthony overwhelmingly.

It's Wade!
Amazing bounce!
Anthony couldn't dodge and was hit directly. At the moment of the impact, his subconscious body made a shooting action, but Anthony, who was knocked into the air, didn't realize that he had shot. He only felt a tightness in his chest, and then fell heavily on the ground. land.

"beep!"

The referee whistles and Wade fouls.

"Bang bang..."

The ball bounced twice on the rim and fell into the net.

The referee reached out and pressed down, and the goal was valid!

2+1!

"yeah!"

Andrews yelled and stood up from his seat, and the white team's bench exploded in an instant.

"I knew it, I knew it, this is Anthony!" In the stands, Rockets scout Daryl Morey roared excitedly. Because the Rockets did not have a first-round pick, they only sent one this time. Scouts come to experience the process.

Grant, Thomas, and Vandeweghe looked at the chubby fat man at the same time, thinking where did he come from, and then refocused their eyes on Anthony who slowly stood up from the field.

Anthony felt chest tightness, and took several breaths to recover. While rejoicing that it was Carmelo Anthony's body, he cast an angry look at Wade, and that shot just now was simply aimed at someone.

Wade felt Anthony's anger, knew he was wrong, and walked aside with dodge eyes.

"Melo, are you okay?" Hinrich rushed over immediately and asked.

Seeing that Hinrich was coming, the anger on Anthony's face dissipated, and he said with a smile, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

"Dwyane is too bad, if he can't guard against it, he will resort to tricks!" Hinrich said indignantly.

Anthony looked at Hinrich gratefully. After this game, Hinrich should become the first friend he made after crossing.

"Melo, it's time for a free throw." At this moment, Collison, who was already standing under the basket, shouted to Anthony.

Anthony nodded and walked over there. At this moment, he habitually looked up at the score. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it. When he saw it, he was shocked. The score above was 59:60.

Did he score just now?

Anthony looked towards the sidelines with a puzzled expression. Seeing the players on the sidelines, the general managers in the stands all stood up and looked at him with piercing eyes.

Don't think too much, the ball must have been scored just now. Anthony tried to recall the moment just now, and vaguely remembered the moment when he fell down just now and instinctively chose to shoot.

correct!

Anthony suddenly realized that Carmelo Anthony was known for his physical confrontation in college. The body of a small forward is biased towards a power forward, and he often plays 2+1 on the inside with his body.

Although Anthony, who traveled over here, is not familiar with Carmelo Anthony's body, and even his basketball knowledge is not at the same level, but the things that belong to the physical instinct will not change. They have practiced thousands of times, which is the same as conditioned reflex .

"Melo?"

Seeing that Anthony hadn't come yet, Collison urged him again.

Anthony came back to his senses and hurried towards the free throw line.

The referee on the sidelines was still Jia Wei. He saw that Anthony made a free throw. Perhaps it was because of the previous three non-sticks that caused a certain shadow in his heart. After he sent the ball to Anthony, he walked a little to the side.

Anthony caught the ball, took a few deep breaths, and let his whole body be in a relaxed state. He can't control Anthony's body now, but let him obey the instinct of his body.

Lift your hips, stand up, stretch your hands, flex your fingers, and move your wrists.

"Shh!"

The ball falls firmly into the pocket.

60:60, the point difference was evened out!
