Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 55 Basketball Park
Anthony ended his conversation with Kronko and was sent back.

When returning to the villa, it was just around noon, and Anthony smelled a scent of vegetables as soon as he entered the villa.Don't think about it, Su Xi must be cooking lunch.

After becoming Anthony's full-time nurse, three meals a day have also become part of Su Xi's work.

"Xiaoxi, I'm back." Anthony shouted after entering the room. Since the last zero-distance contact, the relationship between the two has developed to a new level.

"Melo, wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon." Su Xi's sweet voice came from the kitchen.

"It's okay, you slow down, I'll sit and wait for a while."

After Anthony finished speaking, he waited for a while, then walked lightly towards the kitchen. When he reached the kitchen door, he leaned over and looked in. He saw that Su Xi was cooking with his back to the door, wiping his forehead with his hands from time to time. The sweat stains, obviously burned for a while.

Su Xi is wearing a lavender vest today, her silky long hair hangs on her shoulders, her lower body is a pair of short denim, under her long white legs, she wears black skirt socks, there is a hint of temptation in her innocence .

After Anthony glanced at it, he took a step and entered the kitchen, walking slowly behind Su Xi.

Su Xi was concentrating on cooking, and didn't feel Anthony's approach. He covered the pot, put down the spatula, and was about to say hello to Anthony, when suddenly, he wrapped his arms around her waist. , She was so frightened that she cried out "ah", her whole body tensed up.

"it's me."

Anthony's voice immediately appeared in Su Xi's ears, and her tense body relaxed. She looked back at Anthony, and said angrily with a reddish face, "You want to scare people to death~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something behind her push her against her, and her face suddenly turned red like a "shua".

Anthony leaned down and sniffed Su Xi's neck.

"Oh, it's time to eat, what are you doing~"

Su Xi twisted his body slightly, and then stopped talking.

"What delicious food did you burn today?" Anthony knew enough was enough, he withdrew his body and walked aside and said.

Feeling Anthony's departure, Su Xi felt inexplicably disappointed, but when Anthony asked about the dishes, she immediately showed a burst of excitement: "Hey, I cooked a big dish today~"

At this time, Anthony leaned his head and saw the things burning in the pot, tender white fish, brown sauerkraut stalks, floating oil flowers, dotted with red peppers, and a burst of aroma floated from the bottom of the pot , what was contained there was clearly pickled fish.

It really is a big dish!

This kind of pickled fish is generally only available in China, and the pickled fish is not mainly cooked, but sliced. This is the United States. When you go to buy fish, they will not slice it for you.

Anthony looked at the thin fish fillet in front of him, thinking that Su Xi must have spent a lot of time slicing it by himself, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a big bandage wrapped around Su Xi's finger, his expression suddenly "swish "It changed all at once.

"Have you cut your hand?"

"It's okay, I accidentally scratched it." Su Xi put her hands behind her body as she spoke.

Anthony grabbed her hand and said with some distress: "Did it slip while cutting the fish fillet?"

"Well, black fish is slippery." Su Xi said softly.

When Anthony heard this, he felt sour immediately. The best main ingredient of sauerkraut fish is naturally black fish, but black fish is very slippery even after the scales are scraped, so it is no wonder that Su Xi got it.

He held Su Xi in his arms, stroked her hair, and said with some complaints: "Why do you buy black fish? If you buy it, wait for me to come back and slice it~"

"The black fish is delicious, and I know you must be very tired from playing~" Su Xi whispered while lying in Anthony's arms.

"Ah~" Anthony sighed and didn't say anything, but the strength in his hug was increased.

"Drip~Drip~"

At this moment, the induction cooker made a crisp beep.

"That... pickled cabbage fish is ready." Su Xi said softly.

"En." Anthony responded, released Su Xi from his arms, and said with a smile, "I'll serve it, you go out and sit."

After Anthony finished speaking, he moved the whole sauerkraut fish connected to the induction cooker to the table in the living room.

The main material is sauerkraut fish, served with stir-fried Chinese cabbage, hot and sour beans and fried pork with mushrooms. This is the first big meal Anthony has eaten since traveling.

The two sat across the table, chatting and eating, and while chatting, Su Xi suddenly talked about Anthony's playing.

"Melo, to be honest, I haven't seen you play yet, when will you show me?"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly think of watching me play?" Anthony was also a little surprised by Su Xi's sudden thought.

"Hmph, can't it be!" Su Xi pouted and said.

"Of course that's fine, but... recently the team has to rest for four consecutive days, and it depends on going to the home court. The rest of the schedule is relatively loose. It seems that there will be three days off, and then the home game will be a week later. .” Anthony pinched his fingers and counted.

"It's been so long for a week, it's so hard to wait~" Su Xi said and cast an aggrieved look at Anthony, pitifully as if Anthony had done something to offend him.

"Ahem...that can't be helped, the schedule is set by the league." Anthony said and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This woman always likes to act like a baby, especially after she recognizes you as her man. Shown without reservation.

"Hey, I have a solution~" Su Xi suddenly smiled strangely.

"What way?" Anthony asked curiously.

"We can play street basketball. There is a public park in Denver. Although it is not as good as Rock in New York, there are a lot of people playing there~" Su Xi said a little excitedly.

"Basketball theme park..." Hearing Su Xi's introduction, Anthony couldn't help muttering.

In the United States, entering the NBA league means at least becoming a millionaire, but in fact, the competition in the NBA is very fierce, and there are very few people who can enter this circle, and the crueler fact is that many talented people Because of family conditions, black players don't even have the opportunity and time to get in touch with basketball.

In this context, street basketball came into being.

In street basketball, the most well-known one is Locke Park. In order to help poor children stay in the street to practice, Mr. Locke held a basketball tour. The first stop was named Locke Park. This place gradually developed into a holy place for basketball. Many NBA players, such as Iverson and Kobe Bryant, once played there. Of course, this is only the most famous one, and it will also be played in other cities. There are other basketball parks.

The public park Su Xi mentioned should be a basketball theme park in Denver.

"Why, you don't want to go?" Seeing that Anthony didn't speak, Su Xi thought he disagreed, so she pouted again.

"No, I just didn't go there to fight, and I'm afraid there will be some trouble if I'm recognized." Anthony said.

"That's right, you are very popular now, if you are recognized by others, you will be in some trouble." Su Xi pouted and fell into thought.

"Right, why don't you wait for a while, and take advantage of this time to help me take care of me~" Anthony said, looking at Su Xi with a slightly ambiguous look.

Seeing Anthony's unserious gaze, Su Xi's face turned red immediately, but she continued, "Mello, I really want to watch you play, and it's best within a few days~"

"The best few days? What do you mean?" Anthony felt that Su Xi seemed to have something in his words.

"It's nothing, I just want to~" Su Xi continued to use her cute trump card.

"Okay, okay." Anthony still couldn't stop Su Xi's sugar-coated bullets, dragged his chin and began to think of a way.

"Yeah." Su Xi nodded repeatedly, and then kept staring at Anthony.

"Yes!" Anthony thought for a while and came up with a countermeasure, "Let's find some fake beards or something, and we can go pretending to be an elderly person~"

"Beard?" Su Xi was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Melo, you are so smart!"

Anthony smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't come up with dressing up as a grandfather to play basketball on the street. That's what Kelly Irving of the Cavaliers would do in the future. He's just using this trick now. Just use it in advance.

The two agreed to do what they wanted to do. After dinner, they first went to a nearby store to buy some fake beards for Anthony to stick on, and then they took a taxi and went straight to the public park.

The public park is not big, it is a basketball field circled near the suburbs, perhaps for the convenience of those black people, it is located near a slum area, and there are only about ten courts in it, but it is after all in Denver, a city with an NBA home team , There are a lot of people playing here, and most of them are black players.

Su Xi became extremely excited after arriving here. It can be seen that she still has basketball genes in her bones.

After Anthony arrived, he was hunched over, pretending to be an old man, but fortunately he was tall, so he really looked good.

The two searched around the court and found that almost every court was full, which was enough to show how much the fans love basketball. You must know that it is only half afternoon, and the sun above the head has not yet set.

Anthony and Su Xi searched around but couldn't find a place, so they could only stand by the side of the field and wait.

Standing on the sidelines, Su Xi was obviously a little depressed. She originally thought that she would be able to play with Anthony first when she came here earlier, but now depending on the situation, not only could she not play together, she didn't even know if she could see Anthony play.

Anthony noticed Su Xi's frustration, and was thinking about whether to find a venue to try it out first. At this moment, a provocative whistle suddenly sounded from not far away. the direction they are in.

As soon as Anthony looked up, he saw several black men with tattoos all over their bodies walking towards them.
