Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 45 The Fateful Showdown
Anthony didn't talk nonsense, and the force of the back kick increased suddenly when he hit the back.

"boom!"

The collision of the two bodies brought a muffled sound, and neither of them shook the other.

"Melo, has your feet softened from going to nightclubs too much?" James suddenly challenged again.

Anthony's head became angry with a "bass", and he pushed back with greater force.

This time, James suddenly fell down and fell to the ground.

Anthony missed the point so hard that he almost tripped himself.

"beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and waved his big hand to the backcourt.

Anthony offensive foul!
"James is so smart! He didn't know what he said to Melo just now, and he irritated the latter all of a sudden, which immediately caused an offensive foul. As expected of this year's No. [-] pick, Melo seems to be immature mentally. .” Smith analyzed in the commentary.

"Melo really needs to be more patient. Not every game can rely on individual offense to drive the team, especially against a guy with excellent physical fitness like LeBron." Barkley said immediately.

"By the way, Charles, I heard that Irvine became a fan of Melo when he played the Spurs game. When he commented, he publicly said that Melo is his successor. From the present, it seems that Melo still has time to write. Grow up~" As the narrator of EPSN, Smith's news is relatively well-informed.

"Ervin is still going to bet with me? Although I have seen Melo's outstanding performance in the preseason, but against James, who is physically better than him, I really want to know that he can still play. Show some skill." Barkley said with some expectation.

"Let's wait and see!" Smith said, turning his eyes to the field again.

Seeing the referee's gesture, James stood up from the ground suddenly, looking at Anthony proudly.

Anthony squeezed his fist and wanted to get angry, but soon, he realized that James was deliberately provoking him.

It stands to reason that in Anthony's impression, James was a very gentle person in his rookie period, but perhaps because of the experience of being a lore in the Challenger League, the mentality of this high school student has completely changed now.

A move by Anthony made James more precocious and perhaps even more powerful.

but!

Anthony grinned suddenly, then shrugged and ran to the backcourt.

So what if he is stronger and more mature!In terms of age and experience, Anthony has two generations superimposed. In front of him, James can never grow faster than him. In his eyes, James is still a child under 20 years old.

"Some facts cannot be changed, so let me break you down!"

Anthony thought to himself while running.

Seeing that Anthony was not irritated by him, James couldn't help being surprised, and seeing Anthony's weird smile, he suddenly became a little uncertain.

"Why bother so much! I won't lose again this time!"

James said angrily, and then ran to the frontcourt.

After the Cavaliers advanced to the frontcourt, Davis did not rush in a few times, turned around and threw the ball to James.

After James got the ball, he did not choose singles like Anthony. As a forward known for his organization, he was dribbling the ball and constantly observing the running positions of his teammates. When he saw that Ilgauskas was in a good position, he was ready to go inside. lob.

"Hey, LeBron, come on!" Anthony saw James about to pass the ball, and suddenly interrupted him with an exit.

James ignored Anthony, looking for an angle and preparing to pass the ball.

"Are you afraid? Or are you unwilling to face the fact that you are weaker than me?" Anthony said emphatically.

James suddenly stopped what he was doing, and then stretched out his hand to signal Ilgauskas to pull away.

"You will know who is weaker than whom after this round."

James saw Ilgauskas pull away, stared at Anthony with the ball in one hand and said viciously.

The corners of Anthony's mouth raised slightly, showing a melon-like smile. Although James matured a little earlier, he just entered the league after all, and his reaction now seems to be the same as before.

Compared with Anthony's kaleidoscope-like dazzling offense, James' offense in his rookie period was much simpler and rougher. His general choice was either a fallback after an emergency stop, or a forced layup.

Anthony naturally knows this very well, and he has learned it once during the Challenger League.

Sure enough, as Anthony expected.After James held the ball, he dribbled the ball twice under his crotch, and then quickly broke through on the right with a cross step.

Holding the ball in his arms with one hand, he made a tank-style layup.

Anthony pushed up immediately, but left a little strength on the soles of his feet.

To deal with this kind of layup of James, blindly hitting the layup is definitely not enough. The so-called stronger than him is not as fast as him, and the faster than him is not as strong as him. This is why James can succeed repeatedly in this seemingly simple layup one.

Anthony pushed it up first, then immediately withdrew his strength, and then pushed up again, and aimed specifically at James' hand.

Anthony is like a spring-loaded shot put, not always but always exerting force on James.

James didn't care at all. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to be hit one by one, he quickly got to the basket, jumped up when he saw the basket, and was ready to dunk.

At this moment, Anthony suddenly stepped forward again.

James got a little impatient, pushed Anthony away with a big wave of his hand, and glided towards the basket.

"boom!"

James smashed the dunk vigorously with one hand, and the explosive force made the cameras on the basket shake violently.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle followed.

James offensive foul!
"Foul, I didn't foul!" James jumped off the basket and rushed towards the referee to reason, spreading his hands vigorously as he said.

The referee turned a blind eye to him. He didn't dare to mess around in this game. You must know that there are still a large number of fans in the stands holding up signs for fair punishment. I heard that the referees of the Rockets' home court have been investigated last time.

"Haha, Kenny, it seems that you have to take back what you said earlier~" Seeing that James was also fouled by Anthony, Barkley was immediately happy.

"After all, both of them have just entered the league, and they still need to improve their control." Smith said with a slightly red face. It is not so easy to be slapped in the face in public.

Anthony rubbed his chest and stood up. James was really strong, but he still couldn't escape the trap. It seemed painless when he hit James in front of him, but every time he hit James, he was stronger than before. James It will definitely not be noticed at once.

If he hit hard at the first time, James must have noticed it, and it would probably be called a foul immediately. Now, when he feels the force, his body's instincts have surpassed his consciousness, not to mention that Anthony hit James' hand, It's hard not to push Anthony away with an elbow.

This is the same as boiling water to boil frogs, the slow process is fatal.

James went to the referee to reason for a while without any results, and finally could only retreat to the backcourt angrily, and glared at Anthony angrily when he passed by Anthony.

Anthony still shrugged, and then showed the melon-like smile that hadn't changed for a century.

The first round of the contest between the two small forwards who were too difficult to guess ended in their respective offensive fouls.

Next came the Nuggets' round. Anthony did not fall to the free throw line immediately, but wandered back and forth between the three-point line and the three-second zone in order to observe James' defense.

Everyone has weaknesses, and James must be the same, not to mention that James is still a rookie at this time, and he must have a lot of weaknesses.

In this round of offense, Anthony only passed the ball a few times, ignoring James' provocative words by the way.

The Nuggets downturned the ball a few times and couldn't find a suitable shot. Miller finally lobbed the ball to Nene.

As soon as the ball went out, James suddenly quickly assisted in the defense, and his arms were kept open to interfere with Nene's vision.

It stands to reason that Anthony was open at this time, but Nene's passing ability was not top-notch, and his vision was blocked. In the end, he could only choose to play hard. Facing Boozer, who is also a sophomore, he In the end, although it went in, the ball still bounced out of the frame under the interference of James, and the rebound was also captured by Ilgauskas.

James' defense ability is indeed very high. Anthony suddenly smiled when he saw this. He already knew how to deal with James now.

After defending against the Nuggets' offense, the Cavaliers handed the ball to Davis to organize the offense. Davis' scoring ability is not bad, but he is a bit reluctant to play the organization. In the next round, James didn't even touch the ball. Davis has already shot at the free throw line.

There was a sound of "bang", and the ball was snatched by the tall and burly Ilgauskas.

Ilgauskas is 2.21m tall, only 5 centimeters shorter than Yao Ming. Last season, he was also selected to the All-Star team with his outstanding performance. However, his shortcomings are also obvious, and his body is too thin.

Although Camby failed to get the rebound in the scramble, he pushed Ilgauskas out of the three-second zone with a strong effort.

Ilgauskas' center of gravity was unstable, and he hurriedly flicked the ball to James who had been squatting on his feet.

Anthony was also fighting for the rebound. When he fell, he saw Ilgauskas catch the rebound and cried out inwardly. When the latter threw the ball to James, he knew that the ball was unnecessary.

James accelerated with the ball, took three super big steps towards the basket, and jumped when he was two steps away from the basket.

Gliding in the air.

Stretch the body for a powerful visual effect.

"boom!"

James dunks hard with both hands.

This time, he finally dunked the ball into the basket.

"Oh! LeBron's dunk is too domineering!" Barkley exclaimed with an exaggerated expression.

"It's a brutal dunk. Fortunately, Camby dodged quickly, otherwise there would be another background wall in this newspaper." Smith also responded.

"Hey, Melo, do you know who is weaker now?" James said provocatively to Anthony with a proud face after dunking.

Anthony still shrugged, and then said lightly: "Isn't it just a blue button?"

After saying this, he ignored James who was about to get angry, turned around and walked out of bounds to serve.
