Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 223

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers used the personal abilities of Kobe and O'Neal to continuously attack the Pistons' defense.

"Melo, are the Lakers in the yellow clothes?" Seeing that the game had started, Fox turned her head and asked Anthony. Although it was not the first time for her to watch the game, most of her came to watch the game because of Anthony. Not really a fan, but she probably guessed the colors of the jerseys of both teams from the reaction of the fans at the scene.

Anthony nodded.

"The strength of the Lakers is really strong." Fox continued with emotion, and she glanced at Anthony after speaking.

Anthony has been with Fox for so long, so she naturally knows what she means. The Nuggets were eliminated by the Lakers. When she said this, she also wanted to say that Anthony's Nuggets were not weak.

"Hehe, yes." Anthony said with a smile, "But the Pistons are not weak, otherwise, they wouldn't be the champions of the Eastern Conference."

"That's because the east is inherently weaker than the west." At this moment, Lima suddenly interjected.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Melo and your teammate was injured, playing with such a team would definitely win the championship." Although Fox doesn't feel very good about Lima, he is really good to Anthony. Whenever he has a chance, he will think about it. way to praise him.

Anthony smiled and said: "The Lakers' style of play consumes too much energy for the stars, and it will be difficult to hit the back."

When Fox heard what Anthony said, she suddenly remembered what Anthony had said before, and now she hurriedly turned her head and said, "Melo, how about we make a bet?"

"Huh?" Anthony looked at Fox suspiciously.

Fox put his head in front of Anthony and said with a smile, "Let's bet on who will win this game. I bet the Lakers will win."

Anthony smiled and said, "What's the bet?"

Fox showed a tricky smile, and said with a slightly flushed face, "Aren't you going to China in two days? If I win, you can let me go with you."

Hearing Fox's words, Anthony frowned slightly. During the two days when he was recovering from illness, Jordan Brand arranged an overseas trip, because Anthony's popularity in China is very high, and the NBA is also committed to opening up the Chinese market, so the overseas trip The location was naturally arranged in China. After Fox heard the news, he quickly asked to go with Anthony.

Anthony is naturally excited to have the opportunity to go to China. On the other side of the ocean, there is still a feeling that he has always regretted that he needs to find and cherish, so he naturally does not want Fox to go with him, and Fox wants to go with him , I must ask for leave, because the filming of Transformers has already started, which is harmful to her career as an actor, so Anthony naturally refused, and finally he also persuaded Fox, who did not expect the latter to bring this up again .

Anthony originally wanted to directly refuse, but after hearing that Fox was betting on the Lakers, he didn't want to spoil Fox's interest too much, and said with a smile: "Okay, but if you lose, don't talk about it next time." gone."

Hearing that Anthony agreed, a look of excitement immediately appeared on Fox's face. Originally, he thought that Anthony would probably refuse directly, but now he hurriedly nodded.

Hearing the conversation between Anthony and Fox, Lima showed a faint excitement on her face, but she didn't say anything, but just remembered it in her heart.

The game continued on the field. After leading for more than a quarter, the Pistons slowly regained their momentum.

The defensive strategy of the Pistons is to use Prince and Ben Wallace to defend individually, and then use system defense to help defend, because Big Ben and Prince have strong individual defense capabilities, plus The team has a mature defense system. Although Kobe and O'Neal's offense is not impenetrable, every offense is very strenuous and consumes a lot of energy. As the game progresses, their success rate is significantly reduced.

Looking at the other players of the Lakers, Payton has defensive ability, but in fact, he is outside the triangle offensive system more of the time, and Malone has been injured since entering the playoffs, and his level has dropped a lot.

The Lakers' triangle relies too much on the individual abilities of the stars, while the Pistons play as a team, plus they have two defensive strengths. It can be said that playing a protracted game is simply a nightmare for a team like the Lakers.

Watching the Lakers being caught up a little bit, and then being overtaken, Fox's state is getting more and more tense with the trend of the game. Looking at her, she really looks like going to China with Anthony.

Anthony looked at Fox's state, and couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart, but it was the right choice for Fox not to go to China, so he was cruel and didn't say anything.

At the end of the game, the Lakers finally lost 68:88 to the Pistons at home by 20 points. However, what worried the fans more than the loss was that Kobe ignored O'Neal's requests for the ball many times during the game, and O'Neal's defense on the defensive end The enthusiasm has dropped significantly, which is very bad news for the Lakers, because discord within the team is often more terrifying than opponents.

After the game, Fox was obviously not in a good mood. Anthony had no choice but to find a way to coax her. Finally, after returning to the villa, he took good care of her, and this matter was over.

Two days later, Anthony got on the plane to China, and his agent Andrews went with him.

After getting off the plane, as soon as Anthony walked out of the passenger passage, he saw that there was already a sea of ​​people outside. Many Chinese fans felt that they were waiting there with a sign in their hands. The moment Anthony appeared, the fans immediately roared with excitement. Voice.

Anthony had guessed that there would be fans to welcome him before he came, but he didn't expect there to be so many. There were huge crowds of people, and both sides were full of security personnel.

Obviously, Anthony himself did not expect that there would be so many fans in China. After he walked out, the fans on both sides waved the things in their hands. Some fans desperately wanted to squeeze in, and the long hands were holding things , with a pen in it, you can tell by looking at it that you want to sign it.

Those who came to greet Anthony were his old acquaintance, Yang Yi, a reporter from the Basketball Pioneer, and a female publicist who came with him. I have to say that the female publicist is very beautiful, and she has a rare * *, Anthony looked dazzled.

After Yang Yi and the female publicist arrived, they were about to guide Anthony out of here, but Anthony didn't stop after thinking about it. Instead, he walked to both sides, greeted the fans, and then began to selectively sign autographs.

Anthony's move immediately caused a tsunami of fans at the scene, and many people wanted to rush to him.

Yang Yi and the female publicist saw that the scene was out of control, and immediately pulled Anthony to leave the place.

Anthony originally wanted to establish a good image, but he didn't expect this kind of couple to happen. Seeing so many people wanting to rush in, the situation was a little out of control. Instead of leaving quickly with Yang Yi and the others, he hurriedly said: " Don't worry, everyone, if you overwhelm the security guards, I won't have a chance to sign for you."

Anthony's words immediately made the fans stop rushing forward.

"I will try my best to sign for you, as long as you don't rush around." After Anthony finished speaking, he took a basketball beside him and began to sign.

When the fans heard Anthony's words and saw Anthony's actions, they immediately stood quietly. They rarely saw stars, especially foreign stars from the NBA with such a good attitude, so there was no rush at all. reason.

The fans were happy when Anthony passed the autograph a few times, but Yang Yi was a little anxious, because Anthony had other activities to arrange after that, but he was too embarrassed to urge Anthony, so he could only wait by the side.

It took almost half of the morning for Anthony to sign. This approach made the fans on the scene feel unprecedentedly excited, and some female fans even started to cry.

However, Anthony didn't say anything tiring. After signing the autograph, he boarded the special car. Anthony quickly noticed that Yang Yi's face was a little anxious. He naturally knew the itinerary, so he immediately turned around and said, "If there is no time, I can stay in China for a while, and you can arrange the formation that was not carried out in the morning until the follow-up."

Hearing Anthony's words, Yang Yi's face suddenly showed a burst of excitement. Although he was going to reschedule the event, the protagonists of the event said that it was all right, and the rest were trivial, so he nodded hurriedly .

It was originally a fan meeting in the morning, but it was changed to the follow-up, so there was time in the morning. After Yang Yi took Anthony and his party to the hotel where he was staying, he arranged for a lunch at noon. Some leaders of the Basketball Association, Anthony was not very interested in the leadership of the Basketball Association before the time travel, so this meal was eaten in a hurry, and nothing was eaten.

In the next few days, Anthony also experienced the hard work of being a star. He attended events non-stop, met with fans, and even coached his football skills. You must know that it was not until the last day that Anthony got a relatively easy project. It's a tour of the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is a famous scenic spot on the outskirts of BJ. Because it is located in the suburbs of the capital, many foreigners will go to the Great Wall after they come to China. Naturally, this thing is also arranged in Anthony’s itinerary, and even arranged Accompanied by a female publicist on a tour of the Great Wall.

Anthony originally refused, but it was not easy to refuse in person, and the female publicist gave him a good impression during this period of time, she was a relatively dedicated kind, so Anthony had no reason to refuse, so on this day, Accompanied by the female publicist and Andrews, he began to climb the stone steps to the Great Wall together.
