Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 51
(I have something to deal with on November [-]st. I can only update it once during this period. I will notify you when it recovers. Please understand~)
Coach Cooper took out the tactical board and called the players on the field to prepare for the next tactics.

Anthony panted and walked towards Cooper. He was attacking and defending for a while, exhausting a lot of energy.

"Melo, you rest for 2 minutes." Cooper said to Anthony who came over.

Anthony nodded and sat back on the bench. He really needs to rest now, otherwise the next game will be very difficult for him.

Coach Cooper kept drawing on the tactical board, and Anthony saw it in his eyes. Although the coach kept silent and basically didn't speak, his level should be higher than that of Bzdelik.

The timeout came soon, players from both sides reappeared, and James on the Cavaliers side still appeared.

After all the players were sent to the field, Cooper suddenly walked towards Anthony's seat and sat down next to him.

"Coach." Anthony said hello to Cooper with a smile.

"Melo, don't call me a coach. I'm just representing this game." Cooper said lightly, without worrying about the other players on the side.

Anthony was taken aback. In his impression, most acting coaches were represented until the end of the season. Unexpectedly, Cooper said that he would only represent one game. This surprised him. He asked a little incomprehensibly: so?"

"The boss has high expectations for the team's season report. I was brought out by Bzdelik. What do you think?" Cooper said with a smile.

What Cooper said was very straightforward, and Anthony understood it as soon as he heard it. In addition to understanding, he also recalled the call D'Antoni made to him that day. It seems that D'Antoni is about to enter Denver.

"The team is now in contact with George Karl. If there is no accident, he should be in the team soon." Cooper said with a smile.

"George Karl?!" Anthony was taken aback. He didn't expect things to develop like this. Although George Karl was indeed the coach of Bzdelik in history, he is intervening in history now!
"You're surprised?" Cooper glanced at Anthony suspiciously.

"I just didn't expect it to be so soon..." Anthony replied embarrassingly.

"No, Melo, your chance has come." Cooper suddenly reached out and patted Anthony on the shoulder, saying, "George is a guy who likes to attack. You are a natural scorer. You will be a perfect match."

"Perfect match?" Anthony muttered, D'Antoni is the guy who likes to attack more!
Although he said so in his heart, Anthony didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "I hope!"

Seeing that Anthony was not as excited as expected, Cooper smiled and shook his head, then stood up straight and walked to the sidelines.

Anthony saw the somewhat lonely back, and understood why Cooper was so silent. Originally, the assistant coaches had the opportunity to prove themselves, as long as they played well, they would have the opportunity to correct themselves.

But now the Nuggets are not willing to give him a chance, and the level of Cooper's tactics is not useless, that is to say, he is an ambitious person, and it is normal to be unable to cheer up in the face of such an encounter. Death to heart!

"LeBron's steal!" Just then, Barkley roared excitedly.

Anthony turned his gaze to the field. James intercepted Barry's pass at this time, and was dribbling the ball to the frontcourt with big strides. The vigorous figure made him seem to be back in front of the TV.

Although the "little emperor" is immature, his strength is enough to rival the first-line superstars in the NBA.

Perhaps noticing Anthony's gaze, James glanced at him, then took a breath and slowed down his running speed.

Anthony noticed James' speed change and looked into the court with some doubts.

James rushed to the Nuggets' three-point line, suddenly accelerated again, and jumped up when he was one step inside the free throw line.

Seeing James' actions, Anthony's pupils closed, wondering if James wanted to...

After James jumped up, he flew in the air and turned around, his body fully stretched out.

"really……"

Looking at James' actions, Anthony couldn't help but chuckled, and then shook his head bitterly. James was really immature, and he used this kind of action to prove that he was no worse than himself.

"boom!"

James almost copied Anthony's 360-degree turn just now, but his body was one size bigger than Anthony's after all, and he almost fell when he fell, but the flaws were not concealed, and he finally completed this difficult dunk.

"Oh, this game is getting more and more interesting!" Barkley smiled and looked at James who kept roaring after completing the dunk, and after a while looked at Anthony who was sitting on the sidelines. Seeing Anthony's disdainful look, he endured Can't stop talking.

"James' ball is full of provocation, and the Cavaliers have already overtaken the score with this ball~" Smith also responded, "I don't know how Melo will fight back when he plays later?"

James' repeated celebrations finally irritated the fans in the Pepsi Center. They first booed loudly, and then they didn't know who took the lead, and they began to shout in unison.

"Melo! We want Merlot!..."

The overwhelming sound, the photographer on the scene quickly cut the big screen to the Nuggets' bench, just in time to capture Anthony's slightly disdainful smile, the fans on the scene became more emotional, and the cheers became louder and louder.

Coach Cooper was very calm, still standing there without saying anything.

Seeing that the Nuggets didn't make any substitutions, the fans' shouts directly turned into monstrous boos.

The game was not suspended, and the Cavaliers began to retreat to halftime. The fans yelled and yelled, booed, and seeing that Cooper was still unmoved, they also slowly quieted down.

At this moment, when James passed by Anthony, he suddenly said, "Hey, Melo, why are you still being a turtle?"

Anthony raised his head and glanced at James strangely. This was really a bit embarrassing, but let him be embarrassing for a while...

Until the end of the third quarter, Cooper did not let Anthony play. Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers played a wave of 10:2 **, from 5 points behind to 3 points ahead.

The game is still full of suspense.

"Mello, you'll have to play the whole quarter later. Although I'm just your coach for one game, I hope you can bring me a victory in this game."

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Coach Cooper walked up to Anthony and said to him.

Anthony looked up at Cooper, hearing the helplessness and unyielding in Cooper's tone, he nodded vigorously, then took off his coat and stood up.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and players from both sides entered the field.

"LeBron has fouled four times." Before going on the court, Cooper said to Anthony. In the third quarter, James, who had fouled three times, fouled Miller again in a steal attempt.

Anthony nodded, and then went into battle again.

James' physical strength is really good, he played the entire third quarter, and as soon as the fourth quarter started, he actually continued to appear on the court again.

When Anthony saw this, an imperceptible smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers attacked first.

After halftime, although Davis was a little reluctant, he handed the ball to James. Although he was arrogant, he didn't want to be benched in this game.

After James held the ball, he didn't call his teammates to pick and roll, but faced Anthony directly.

"Hey. Melo, you're finally on the court. I thought you were hiding on the bench and afraid to come up." James said provocatively at the beginning, obviously Anthony's previous indulgence made him a little complacent.

"Really?" Anthony said disdainfully, "I thought you were capable. Looking at the current score, you seem to be much weaker than I thought."

"You're courting death!" The smile on James' face disappeared instantly, and he cast a venomous look at Anthony.

Anthony shrugged his shoulders, still showing his melon-like smile. When it comes to arguing, how could James be the opponent of Anthony, a deeply influenced Chinese~
James had a gloomy face, knowing that he couldn't talk to Anthony, so he stopped talking nonsense, and started to force Anthony by stepping on the bully step.

Anthony had rested for such a long time just now, and his physical strength was in a very vigorous state. Facing James' forced breakthrough at this moment, he mustered all his energy to push forward.

James used to consume a lot of physical energy. Facing Anthony's strong blocking, he finally got a little weak in his follow-up when he made a layup.

James didn't succeed in a single blow, so he hurriedly called his teammates to turn to defense.

Anthony saw James' actions, but didn't say anything, and ran directly to the frontcourt after handing the ball to Miller.

In the frontcourt, seeing that James was about to switch defenses with Wagner again, Anthony suddenly said: "LeBron, look, you are the one who shrinks your head, don't you even have the courage to defend me head-on?"

James' original retreat was stopped by Anthony, and he squeezed his fist.

"It seems that you are really scared. Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you."

As Anthony said, he opened his hand and asked Miller to pass the ball.

James' face darkened, and finally let Wagner defend Barry, and he re-positioned Anthony. He said angrily: "Don't be too complacent, I will defend you to death!"

"Oh, really?" Anthony said jokingly, "I don't think so~"

"Are you only good at talking?" James said, sinking his body.

"Hehe, no, you can't guard me." Anthony shook his head and said a little pretentiously, "One ball is enough to hit you."

James' face was ashen, and he was panting heavily. It was obvious that Anthony's words had completely irritated James. He responded slightly provocatively, "Really? I'm afraid it will be you who will blow the cowhide!"

Anthony smiled, didn't say anything, lowered his focus, and was ready to attack.
