Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 72 Wang Zhizhi's Strength
"Wang, come here and do some warm-up activities first, and be careful not to get hurt." Looking at Wang Zhizhi's body, Anthony specially warned him, really afraid that he would accidentally hurt him during training later.

"Yeah, okay." Wang Zhizhi gave Anthony a grateful glance, and then began to move the hand joints and ankle joints, which are prone to injuries.

Anthony called a caddy over and started mid-range shooting training two steps away from the three-second zone.

"Shhhhhhhh..."

With a crisp sound, Anthony walked back and forth twice, and all his bullets hit the net hollow.

Wang Zhizhi looked at Anthony with a look of admiration in his eyes, but there was still a faint trace of fighting spirit.

Anthony walked back and forth again. After feeling a little better, he put down the ball in his hand and waved to Wang Zhizhi who had finished warming up but was still standing on the sidelines, telling him to come to the court.

"You hit me three balls first, and I'll see how strong you are. Remember to use your full strength." Anthony reminded Wang Zhizhi. Although Anthony has not gained weight now, except for his height, as a power forward, he is facing Wang Zhizhi. If so, it is much stronger.

"Yeah." Wang Zhizhi nodded, but Anthony threw the ball, and then started to attack.

Wang Zhizhi didn't dribble the ball. After receiving the ball, he stood still and observed Anthony's defensive state.

Anthony is now in a standard defensive state with one hand held flat to break through and the other extended. He saw Wang Zhizhi fail to dribble, and his opinion of him changed a lot.

In the face of Anthony's stature, he can play power forward, but his agility is outstanding among small forwards. The most sensible approach is to minimize dribbling to avoid being intercepted.

Wang Zhizhi's golf quotient does not seem to be low.

However, it is time to improve the offense. Wang Zhizhi first made a shooting action on the spot.

Anthony pressed forward immediately, and Wang Zhizhi's three-pointer was still threatening.

Seeing Anthony approaching, Wang Zhizhi retracted his preparations to shoot, then turned halfway to the left, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and began to break through.

Soon, Anthony and Wang Zhizhi stuck together.

It should be said that Wang Zhizhi really knows how to use his own strengths, use his body to protect the ball on the right side, and then use slow but adjustable steps to kill the inside line step by step.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Anthony's hand unexpectedly hit the ball that Wang Zhizhi was carrying.

Wang Zhizhi's ball was broken.

Anthony was a little disappointed after stealing the ball. Wang Zhizhi's golf quotient is good, but his movements are too slow, and even give people a tasteless feeling.

By this time Anthony also understands why Wang Zhizhi can kill the Quartet in Asia, but he is deflated in the NBA.

With Wang Zhizhi's body, it is impossible to squeeze in the powerful inside line of Nene, and it is easy to be broken against the flexible inside line. Sure enough, the body is the first element of basketball.

When Wang Zhizhi saw the look in Anthony's eyes, he was also depressed for a while. You must know that he didn't train hard, but he couldn't change some things in his genes. Yellow people are weaker than black people. Why did they grow up eating rice? Compared with people who grew up eating beef?
Anthony looked up and saw that Wang Zhizhi also looked depressed. He immediately put away his negative emotions. He didn't want to suppress Wang Zhizhi's morale right now. What he wanted to do was not to suppress, but to help, to change Wang Zhizhi's NBA career.

"Wang, it's okay, try to increase your speed when you break through, and you can use your mid-range and footsteps, and pay attention to the changes in the position of your defender." Anthony said encouragingly.

Wang Zhizhi nodded, his dejected expression also slightly improved.

This time, after Wang Zhizhi received the ball, he took the initiative to find a physical confrontation with Anthony, instead of choosing to break through, he made a back attack on the spot.

Although Anthony didn't want to attack Wang Zhizhi, he didn't slacken his defense at all. After all, knowing Wang Zhizhi's strength was what he wanted to achieve at the moment.

Wang Zhizhi didn't move by hitting Anthony for a while, and then turned directly to the left.

Anthony immediately shifted his defensive focus to the left.

Wang Zhizhi immediately turned right again.

Anthony's flexibility is very high, and he can fully keep up with Wang Zhizhi's slow turn.

Wang Zhizhi failed to get rid of Anthony two consecutive turns, he suddenly took another left turn, then raised his hands high, and then shot directly at the basket.

Anthony saw the opportunity, jumped up, and directly blocked Wang Zhizhi.

"Snapped!"

The ball was blocked and flew out.

Although Wang Zhizhi made a fake move, it was really too slow in Anthony's eyes.

"That's right, it's better than before." Anthony said encouragingly.
Wang Zhizhi smiled wryly, one was broken and the other was taken, he also knew the strength gap between Anthony and him.

"You don't need to hit the third ball. Come on, try defending against me and let me see your defense." Anthony asked for a ball from the ball boy and walked directly beyond the three-point line.

Wang Zhizhi responded, and squatted near the free throw line in a defensive posture.

Anthony dribbled the ball twice, followed by a breakthrough, accelerated, and directly passed the sluggish Wang Zhizhi.

After breaking through, Anthony did not choose to shoot, but pulled back to the free throw line, found Wang Zhizhi again, and tried to hit him.

Suddenly, he felt that Wang Zhizhi was pushed back a step, limp and completely lacking in strength.

Anthony's complexion suddenly changed. Compared with offense, Wang Zhizhi's defense was indeed as Cooper said, and it really couldn't even reach the average level of the NBA.

Anthony turned around and shot after hitting twice casually, Wang Zhizhi followed, but the movement was too slow, and he could only watch Anthony dryly pull out his hand, and then went into the net hollowly.

After Anthony scored a goal, he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, everything can be improved. After training, we will continue to practice."

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi raised his head and looked at Anthony with deep gratitude in his eyes. He was very unpopular in the United States because of his relationship with Asians, which also made him more and more disheartened. When he was about to give up, Anthony would actually treat him with this attitude. He really had the idea that his fate would change.

"But you have to be mentally prepared. I have already communicated with Coach Cooper. He is the coach you introduced just now. He is now our team's defensive coach. He will pay more attention to you on defense in the later stage. , I hope you can hold on." Anthony gave Wang Zhizhi a vaccination.

Anthony can only hope that Cooper can improve Wang Zhizhi's defense to the average level of the NBA. Otherwise, even if he helps, players and coaches who are completely defensive will not dare to play.

"Hey, Melo, how are you doing?" At this moment, Cooper's voice suddenly appeared on the sidelines.

"Almost, coach." Anthony turned around and said to Cooper, "Wang's offensive ability is still at a certain level."

"Well, let him come over and play offense and defense with Elson." After finishing speaking, Cooper went to the court and called Elson over.

The new players had to play one-on-one offense and defense with the old players, and they were in direct competition. The Nuggets players were immediately attracted.

Elson had just finished exercising at the moment, and his whole body was still hot. As soon as he walked over, he said carelessly: "Shall I start now? Should I hit first or Wang first?"

"Defend first." Seeing Elson's frizzy temper, Cooper immediately glared at him.

"Okay." Elson grinned silly, and then went into the free throw line.

At this time, the ball boy took a ball and gave it to Wang Zhizhi, and the one-on-one offense and defense of the power forward substitute began.

The Nuggets players, including Anthony, are looking at the field with piercing eyes at the moment.

After Wang Zhizhi took the ball, he took a look at Elson Kongwu's strong body, and unconsciously thought of what Anthony had said before. He dribbled the ball twice, and then quickly pulled it out.

With a sound of "swish", in the astonishment of Elson and the players on the sidelines, Wang Zhizhi made a quick mid-range hit.

The Nuggets players talked about it for a while.

Anthony showed a satisfied smile, and Wang Zhizhi seemed to have realized something.

"This... why did you vote for Grandma's!" Elson slapped his head and said with a silly smile, he didn't seem to mind.

"Ahem...continue..." Coach Cooper coughed dryly twice. He didn't expect Wang Zhizhi to vote like this, and he couldn't see Wang Zhizhi's characteristics at all.

Elson's offense, Elson's dribbling is very poor, but after he got the ball, he directly hit Wang Zhizhi with his back. This time, even he himself was surprised that he went in so easily, and directly hit the basket when he reached the basket Score.

Cooper couldn't help but shake his head looking at Wang Zhizhi's defense. This defensive ability is simply too weak.

Both sides scored one goal each, 1:1 tie, and it was still Wang Zhizhi's next round. This time, Elson moved forward to press the defense, and he would not be fooled by Wang Zhizhi for the second time.

Wang Zhizhi held the ball, saw Elson's defense, dribbled the ball and started to kill inside, because the strength gap was really too big, he didn't force it, but the athlete half-turned, looking a little staggered. He staggered, but staggered to a position one step inside the free throw line.

Elson also stretched out his hands to cover Wang Zhizhi's phone.

Wang Zhizhi stopped suddenly, then turned around to the right to make a move.

Elson defended immediately.

Wang Zhizhi quickly recovered the ball, followed by a sharp right turn, with Elson as the axis, directly went around, and hit the ball to the backboard before Elson came back from the defense.

"boom!"

The ball hits the board and goes into the frame.

"nice shot."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Everyone present looked back and saw a middle-aged man with a mustache on his lips standing behind him in a suit.

When Anthony saw the person coming, there was a burst of excitement on his face.

D'Antoni, here we come!
