Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 252
Seeing Su Xi leave, Anthony stood up and wanted to go to him. At this moment, Nash suddenly pulled him and said, "Hey, Mello, do you have time? Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Anthony saw the look in Nash's eyes, and knew that he definitely wanted to talk to him about the team's defense or coaching. He originally wanted to refuse, but when he turned his head, he found that Su Xi was gone, so he had no choice but to turn around and say: " Sure, no problem, where? What time of night?"

When Nash heard that Anthony agreed, he smiled and said, "Just wait a moment, I'll go get something, a nearby steakhouse?"

Anthony smiled and nodded: "Let me tell Megan, see you later."

After speaking, Anthony stood up and walked out. When he got to the corridor, he saw that Su Xi had completely disappeared. It seemed that he had gone back as usual.

Anthony couldn't help feeling disappointed, and sighed, remembering the agreement with Nash, he took out his mobile phone and called Fox.

The phone was called, but it rang twice and no one answered. At this moment, there was a sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground from another section of the corridor. Anthony looked up and saw Su Xi walking towards the toilet with the document. , it seems that she should have gone to the toilet just now.

Anthony was overjoyed, hurriedly hung up the phone, and walked towards Su Xi excitedly.

Su Xi was walking, and when she heard footsteps, she looked up and saw that it was Anthony, her expression also changed, but soon, she returned to that indifferent expression, lowering her head and preparing to walk away from Anthony's side. walk by.

"Xiao Xi!" Anthony couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, and he stretched out his hands and walked forward and shouted.

Su Xi trembled, raised his head, and said with doubts in his eyes: "Mr. Melo, are you calling me?"

"Xiao Xi, you..." Anthony looked at the strange expression in Su Xi's eyes, and looked at him in astonishment, as if he had misidentified the person.

Su Xi said with a smile: "Mr. Melo, I think you have identified the wrong person. I have to go home to take care of the child after get off work. I'm sorry."

After speaking, Su Xi turned around and prepared to leave.

When Anthony heard the child, his whole body trembled. He still remembered seeing the child in Su Xi's arms on the Great Wall. Thinking about it now, Su Xi should have brought the child to America with her husband. Bar.

Thinking of this, the feelings in Anthony's heart became more complicated. In a blink of an eye, the former lover was already someone else's wife.

At this moment, Su Xi glanced at Anthony with his head down, turned around and continued walking forward.

"No, it must be fake!" Anthony shuddered violently. He remembered his misunderstanding of Su Xi before, so he had to ask clearly!
Thinking about it, Anthony raised his head and was about to go after Su Xi. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was Fox calling back.

He hesitated for a moment, directly pressed the phone, and then chased after Su Xi: "Xiao Xi!"

Su Xi's body trembled again, but she just paused for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.

Anthony walked up to him quickly, grabbed Su Xi directly, and said affectionately, "Xiao Xi, can we go to a nearby coffee shop for a chat?"

Su Xi squeezed the other hand tightly, looking at Anthony's affectionate eyes, it seemed that the psychological defense line had been broken, and she was about to speak.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Anthony's pocket rang again, and the "buzzing" sound was particularly clear in the silent corridor.

Anthony looked embarrassed for a while, then took out his mobile phone, saw that the caller ID was Fox, and pressed it directly.

But at this moment, Su Xi's face changed. Just now, she saw the picture on Anthony's phone, and Fox's picture was impressively printed there.

Su Xi's originally melting expression suddenly became abnormally cold again.

When Anthony hung up the phone and looked up, he found that Su Xi's face had become extremely cold. His face changed involuntarily. Thinking that when the phone was taken out just now, Su Xi must have seen Fox's photo. His face tightened and he was just about to speak. .

Su Xi said suddenly at this moment: "Mr. Melo, your girlfriend is urging you to go home again. Sorry, I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he shook off Anthony's hand, turned around and walked forward without looking back.

"Xiao Xi, wait!"

Anthony started to chase after him, but at this moment, Nash suddenly came out from the corner: "Hey, Melo, why did you come here?"

When Anthony saw Nash, he stopped chasing forward, smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I'll just walk around."

Nash knew that Anthony and Fox were together. When they met for the first time, Anthony took Fox with him. If he knew about Su Xi now, he might be in trouble.

Nash turned his head suspiciously and saw Su Xi leaving. As someone who had been here, he understood immediately, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said, "Melo, if I don't have time today, I think tomorrow it is also fine."

At this time, Su Xi had already walked out from the corner. Anthony thought that what happened to Fox just now might have made Su Xi unacceptable, and he couldn't explain it clearly at this time. After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "It's okay, just today , let's go to the steakhouse."

When Nash heard Anthony say this, he didn't say anything else. After nodding, the two walked outside along the aisle.

Arrived at the steakhouse, ordered something to eat, and the two of them chatted after sitting down. The content, of course, was about D'Antoni.

Anthony took a sip of the juice in the glass and said, "Steve, I still remember that we met on the beach in Miami, and more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye. As you said, time really flies. fast."

Nash smiled wryly and said, "Yes, now we are playing on the same team and competing for the golden championship trophy together. In fact, Melo, I asked you out today. I want to talk to you about the team."

Anthony naturally knew Nash's purpose, and said, "Well, is it about the team's defense? Or is it about..."

Anthony said and pulled the end: "Coach Mike's question?"

Nash nodded and said, "It's all related. Don't pay attention to what I said at the press conference. In fact, I know that the team's offensive method is a bit off course."

"Oh? Deviated from the direction?" Anthony didn't expect Nash to say that. You must know that in the current tactical system, Nash has the highest status.

Nash nodded and said: "Of course, I'm just a personal suggestion. When I was playing for the Mavericks, my mentor Nelson, his understanding of bombardment tactics was to bring the opponent into his own rhythm. His tactical intentions are the same, but his requirements for defense are still very strict."

"Oh?" Anthony looked at Nash with a smile and said, "Steve, what do you mean?"

Nash continued: "Of course, both Mike and Nelson are very good coaches, but I don't think our team should give up defense for offense."

Anthony said suspiciously: "Didn't Coach Mike say that you need to use your defensive strength to execute a more powerful offense?"

"This is actually not absolute." Nash shook his head and said, "Coach Mike may have also entered a misunderstanding. You must know that a team must give up defense in exchange for offense. That has a premise."

"Premise?" Anthony became interested in what Nash said.

Nash nodded and continued: "Yes, the premise, if a team needs to do this, then it must have a premise, that is, the physical strength of the players is only so much."

Hearing this, Anthony understood the meaning of Nash's words: "You mean, Mike ignored the team's bench depth?"

"Yes!" Nash patted the table excitedly. After attracting the attention of the people next to him, he smiled awkwardly and continued, "That's what I mean. His physical strength can completely defend while still ensuring offensive firepower, not to mention that our starting lineup has a reasonable mix of players, and in the substitute lineup, Williams, Diaw, and Okur are all very good players. I have also observed this year’s rookies, Jefferson and Ariza have great potential, our team completely enters the rotation early during the game, and allows the players to maintain sufficient offensiveness on the court.”

Anthony smiled and nodded, but did not express his opinion. What Nash said was indeed very creative, but in fact, D'Antoni's stubborn attitude could no longer be resolved by one or two people's persuasion.

Seeing that Anthony didn't speak, Nash asked suspiciously, "Melo, what do you think of me?"

Anthony looked at Nash, smiled and said, "Steve, what you said is right, and I agree with it, but what do you think, how to tell Coach Mike about this matter, to tell you the truth, I have privately persuaded D'Antoni, but his stubbornness this season makes me feel a little unbelievable."

"I know this." Nash seemed to have guessed what Anthony was thinking, and continued, "But after all, we are players, and Mike is the coach. If we want to convince D'Antoni, we can find general manager Kiki, or...Kron Boss Ke."

Anthony shook his head bitterly.

Nash looked at Anthony's attitude and said in surprise: "Melo, you won't tell me that you have already found the boss?"

Anthony nodded helplessly.

"My God, why is Mike so stubborn." Nash was also speechless at the moment.

Anthony smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, I even thought about letting the players decide their own defensive investment, and let Cooper train us in private, but I think that if we do that, it will be equivalent to emptying Mike, which will be harmful to the team. Nothing to gain."

After listening to what Anthony said, Nash's face was also not very good-looking. It seems that Anthony understands D'Antoni's stubbornness better than anyone else.
