Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 74 Reasonable and Unexpected
"What was the player's name just now, Wang what?" D'Antoni asked suddenly.

"Wang Zhizhi is a Chinese, and his name is not easy to remember." Cooper replied.

"Well, that player's size shows that he is poor defensively, but he is very talented offensively." D'Antoni turned to stare at Cooper and said, "Cooper, I will give you a task now, you must train his defense to At an NBA level, he's a great addition to our team."

Cooper looked at D'Antoni with a surprised expression, and then looked at Anthony. He didn't expect a fringe figure to attract such great attention from the team's head coach and absolute core.

"I'm not joking, he has the potential to become the next poor man's Nowitzki, in my team, but the premise, Cooper, you have to improve his defense, no matter what method you use." Anthony said seriously.

"Well, I will," Cooper said, nodding.

"Well, everyone, come on, the next game will definitely benefit you a lot, I hope you can understand something, we are not in a hurry now, but the future will be bright."

D'Antoni made a final concluding remark and declared the short meeting over.

After a day of training, the Nuggets players were all exhausted, but they all showed excitement on their faces after trying out the run-and-gun tactics for the first time during the training.

To put it bluntly, the offense does not require too many tactics, it only needs to do a good pick-and-roll at all times, and judge the timing of the shot after being picked-and-rolled. Although the defense needs to continue to press the ball, as long as a successful defense is played, it will form Opportunities to score directly on fast breaks, scoring faster and easier than ever before.

After the training, Anthony drove the car in the direction of the villa.

The car was purchased with Andrews after the first salary was paid on the 15th. It cost 10,000+ dollars. Because of the size of the man, it is a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle, which is Anthony's first big asset.

Although Su Xi is no longer in the villa, Anthony has no intention of moving out. Maybe it's because he is reluctant, or maybe he thinks it's troublesome to move. In short, he still lives somewhere temporarily.

"Oh-my-pretty-pretty-boy-Iwant-U~"

Anthony was driving the car when the cell phone beside him rang suddenly. He reached out and picked up the cell phone from the armrest box. When he checked the caller ID, it was Andriana Lima, and his head suddenly became bigger again.

Since Su Xi left, not only has Anthony not been clean because of this, Lima, the Brazilian supermodel, and Megan, the future sexy goddess, have almost taken turns looking for him. Although he rejected him again and again, they never gave up. It seemed like he was the only man left in the world.

Anthony didn't quite understand, but he had no choice but to ask someone face to face...

"Hi, Yana, I'm Melo, what's the matter, what's the matter?" Anthony answered the phone and asked very politely.

"Melo!" Lima yelled as soon as the phone was connected.

Anthony was so frightened that he almost lost control of the steering wheel, and hurriedly pulled over the car, not knowing what happened, and asked weakly, "Yana, what's wrong with you?"

"Melo, where are you! I'm in Denver, come out and meet me!" Lima said on the phone with an undeniable tone. Obviously, Anthony's previous rejections made the supermodel very angry.

When Anthony heard this, he immediately became nervous. He glanced around, quickly closed the car window, and said in a low voice, "I'm at the boss's house, and I'm talking to the boss..."

"Hmph, it's the boss talking about things again! Didn't you just talk about things last time? I clearly heard the sound of the car's motor just now. Are you lying to me?" Lima naturally refused to give up easily.

"I didn't lie to you. Just now, someone came to the boss again. Oh, the boss urged me. I hung up first. I won't talk anymore. I'll call you back later when I'm free." Anthony said, turning the phone from The mouth was getting farther and farther away, and finally hung up the phone, and then he was relieved.

If you say that Lima is very active every time she makes a phone call, and she is very good at speaking, and if you say that she is playing big cards, Anthony can just find an excuse to fall out, but this is neither tight nor loose, it is getting more and more warm ambiguous.

I don't know why, although Lima's condition is very good, Anthony doesn't seem to be too cold...

Anthony let out a long sigh, put the phone away, and then continued to drive home.

The distance from the Pepsi Center to the villa is not far. Anthony is driving the car on the street at the moment, and he only needs to turn a corner to get there.

At this moment, he suddenly found a familiar figure standing at the door, Miaoman's figure, Miaoman's curves, provocative long hair, pink crystal lips, extraordinarily sexy and seductive.

Megan Fox!
Anthony was speechless for a moment.

Fox was holding a clay pot in his hand, and he stopped there to watch, checking the time on his hand from time to time, as if it had been specially cooked and given to Anthony.

After seeing Fox, Anthony turned around slowly and drove slowly from the other end of the street.

Fox cast a puzzled look at Anthony, but because of the distance, she did not step forward.

Anthony didn't stop until he was out of Fox's sight, and then he let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fox had never seen the new car he bought, otherwise it was inevitable that he would run into each other right now.

After a short stay, Anthony booked a hotel with his mobile phone, and then drove away from the villa.

Not long after driving out, Anthony's phone rang as expected.

Caller ID, Megan Fox.

Pulling over, closing the window, Anthony picked up the phone again.

"Hey, Megan, long time no contact." Anthony put on a gentle tone as soon as he spoke this time, he didn't want to hear Fox growl at him.

"Hey... Melo, we were in touch a few days ago..." Fox's weak voice came, her character was much gentler than Lima's, and Anthony's tone obviously played a big role.

"Oh...the team's record is not good recently, the coach often asks us to practice extra, I'm a bit too busy right now, so..." Anthony said with a sigh.

"Ah? Mello, you have to pay attention, don't get tired." Fox's caring voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's okay, but I'm going to Dallas tomorrow, and the coach has to practice extra today, so I guess I won't be able to come back until midnight." Anthony showed a sense of helplessness.

"Then...then what should I do, I...the crew arrived in Denver today, and I just made some soup for you. I...I'm at the door of your villa right now, you..." Fox came from the other end of the phone A broken voice, obviously she didn't expect this to happen.

"Ah? Why didn't you tell me, then... Maybe there's no other way, why don't you put it at the door or next door, and I'll eat it when I come back? Thank you." Anthony said with a little regret.

"How about...shall I send you to the training hall?" Fox said suddenly, as if she had seized the last chance.

"No... no need..." Anthony was startled when he heard Fox's proposal, "The coach has been very angry with the team's five-game losing streak recently, if you come again, the impact may be very bad, so...really Maybe next time..." Anthony said with some uncertainty.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Anthony also has a heart hanging, feeling very embarrassed.

a long time.

"Okay, next time, I'll put this soup next door, remember to take it when you come back." Fox finally chose to give up.

"Yes, yes." Anthony nodded.

Life on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly, and hung up after saying hello.

Anthony also hung up the phone and lowered the car window.

The wind outside the window blew past his cheeks, and he felt melancholy at the moment. If you say that Fox and Lima are two women, they need to have a figure and a face, and their status is not low, but maybe it was Su Xi's way of leaving. , It made him feel that he owed too much in his heart, and he really didn't have the heart to accept other women for a while.

Maybe, let's wait a little longer. After all, he wants to integrate into the life of the league. Maybe, many things just need time.

Thinking of this, Anthony restarted the car and drove towards the hotel.

Early the next morning, Anthony got up from the hotel and rushed to the airport to meet the team and fly to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

Dallas Mavericks, one of the top three teams in Texas, has been a strong team since joining the NBA in the 90s. Although it was in a downturn after entering the 20th century, since the selection of "German Chariot" Dirk Nowitzki in 1998, the team has started Revival Road.

Now, under the command of old Nelson, the master of running and bombing, the trident composed of Nash, Nowitzki and Finley has ushered in All-Star forward Antawn Walker and powerful striker Antoine Jamison this season. , The strength of the team has only increased. They have won 10 consecutive victories at the start of the game. It can be said that they are in the limelight and unstoppable.

The home court of the Mavericks is the American Airlines Center, which is famous in the league. Before the start of the game, the arena with nearly 2 people was already full. The fans were wearing blue jerseys uniformly issued by the arena.

The fans either held a ten-game winning streak sign or printed the words ten-game winning streak on their chests, shouted and swayed excitedly on their seats, and their excitement could be seen everywhere.

Anthony was warming up before the game on the court. From time to time, he looked towards the Mavericks' halfcourt. There were two figures he was familiar with, Nash with long hair and Nowitzki, who was tall and burly. All of them are well-known and popular superstars, and tonight is destined to be a difficult night.

He watched and couldn't help but clenched his fists. Even D'Antoni had no hope of winning. If, just if, he could win this game, how would the morale of the Nuggets change?

The chances are slim, but worth trying.

Thinking of this, a burning desire to win flashed in Anthony's eyes.
