Lima didn’t say anything until the plane except say hello when we parted.
However, for Anthony, this abnormal attitude makes him more and more worried. If he knows about Lima, he will have the means to blackmail him. If so, he will be very passive.
However, at this time, it would be very inappropriate for Lianlima to ask him directly. If she didn’t do this, it would probably make her resentful and Anthony would not feel better in an embarrassing situation.
In the end, Anthony simply looked at it. If there is anything, there must be other solutions when it comes to the bridge.
Back home villa Fox had been waiting for two people at home for nearly a month. Naturally, it was a plane fight. Instead, it was like a kind of thing that Anthony became more and more brave in bed until Fox finally begged for mercy.
There was a truce here, and the league there was really in full swing. Anthony arrived at the arena the next day and was warmly cheered by his teammates as soon as he entered. Anthony finally won the most valuable player in the Olympic Games, but his popularity in the United States was unprecedented this time.
After a burst of cheers, the team trained. At the arena, Anthony also met Al, the rookie selected by the team this year. Jefferson and Treyvaud? Ariza
Anthony is very familiar with these two men. The former is the best power forward in the league in the future. Although the ranking of elective courses is not particularly high because of his height, and although his future achievements in history are not comparable to Brand’s, his ability is absolutely strong. Now Brand’s replacement will definitely fill Wang Zhizhi’s regret.
Ariza Anthony is more familiar with him. In history, he has a very friendly nickname "Tiezha" and "Iron Gate" in China. It is said that he was a famous defensive gate on the outside when he was in the Lakers and Wizards, but at the same time, he appeared to struggle during the rocket period, so he often played iron to get this name.
However, Anthony knows that Ariza is a very promising player, and his draft pick is very low, but his ability is definitely very typical. The function of a 3d player is somewhat similar to that of Bell, and playing as a defender and swingman can fill the depth of the team well.
The team is still in the training stage, and there is still a month before the preseason. For example, Brand has just recovered from an injury and is still doing rehabilitation training at home.
There are still some players in the team who have signed guarantee contracts. They are all players who have done well in the summer league. They all hope to be on the preseason list. Although they may not be able to stay in the end, they also hope to get playing time to win the favor of other teams.
Anthony practiced for a while, but he was still a little uncomfortable because he just got back from jet lag. After practicing for a while, D’ Antoni sat on the sidelines and didn’t say anything. On the other hand, Anthony treated star players extra in his personality. On the other hand, he came to train a star player the next day after he got off the plane. It was already very great to do this.
This season, there are still 17 people in the team who have guaranteed contracts, but when 15 players stay in the team this season, it means that two people are leaving the team, and of these two people, Du Lin and White are the most likely to leave the team.
Du Lin stayed in the team for half a season and Anthony didn’t feel much, but the old minister of White Excavation Team is Anthony’s friend, and now the pressure is very great.
At the moment, Anthony is sitting on the scene and watching White training hard with those players who have guaranteed contracts and the team’s rookie. It’s really a bit reluctant for a while in Anthony’s heart.
At this time, Anthony went to Vandewich to say that it might give White hope to stay, but he knew it was unfair to others, and it was up to the management to make the final decision.
It wasn’t long before White finished training. Anthony greeted him with a smile.
In recent days, White has been under great pressure, and now he has met Anthony, and he is in a good mood. The two of them have a sentence to talk about.
At the end of the conversation, it is inevitable to talk about White’s prospects this season.
White said in distress, "Melo has been particularly challenged this season. To be honest, I really don’t have much confidence to stay in the team now. Boris, the small forward, and the newcomer will definitely stay at the power forward position. The team has traded to Aucour again this season, and Jefferson has an elective course. Although I want to work hard, I know that my hope of staying may not be great. We may split up before long."
Anthony heard the sadness in White’s tone, and he felt the same way for a while, but by this time he had his own ideas and said, "Rodney, I have a suggestion. Do you want to listen?"
"I will listen to you," White said with a smile. He is worried now, and maybe Anthony can comfort him.
Anthony then said, "Rodney, you just said that I always knew, but I’m not your teammate now, but your friend is giving you advice. If you finally succeed in staying, have you ever thought about the post-season state?"
"Even if the depth of a team’s bench is deep, if there is no injury, it will be about one person at most. Even if you can play, I am afraid you will die when you get it. I know that 2008 is such a short contract year, and you obviously won’t get much good data. I think it may not be a bad thing for you to leave."
When White listened to Anthony’s suggestion, he was dumbfounded, but he slowly felt the recognition. Anthony said that he was right, and I am afraid that he would get very few opportunities if he worked hard in the excavation team.
Anthony saw that White listened and said, "To be honest, if you really want to stay in the team, I may be able to help you, but I don’t think this result is the best for you. Your friend, I hope you can go to other teams and try to get a good data and sign a good contract in 2008."
After Anthony finished speaking, White bowed his head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he looked up and said, "Melo, I listened to your suggestion."
Anthony heard White pat him on the head with a smile and then said, "You should behave well in the preseason so that the team can find you a good home, otherwise the team may lay you off in the end, which is the worst result for you."
"Well, I’ll try." Whitley nodded. A friend of Anthony’s has given him the most faithful advice.
Anthony looked at it and said, "Come on, let’s go out for a drink."
"Go to a nightclub?" White bad said with a smile
"Fuck you!" Anthony stretched out his hand and hit him on the ass. They both laughed and went out of the arena to be continued.
Chapter two hundred and sixty-two Opening match
After a month of preparation, the preseason game was officially played.
Anthony has won all the honors except the finals mvp in the first season, so naturally he will not participate in such competitions, but he still appears on the team list, but his suit and tie are still inactive.
Playing with the team is equivalent to having a front-row seat directly. Anthony watched his new teammates watch their play. In particular, Nash Vandewich once told him that he was worried, and judging from the performance in the preseason, Vandewich was worried for a reason, that is, Nash’s control rate on the court was too high.
Almost every attack, teammates move and Nash attacks.
Nash’s ball is really great, but Anthony has been through it after all. He knows Nash’s characteristics well and has seen many previous comments on Nash’s peak leading the Suns, knowing that the Suns were in a dilemma after Nash was restricted in the playoffs.
Anthony can make changes, but he finds that D ‘Antoni loves Nash a little more than expected. Brand can launch attacks on the team many times, but in these preseason games, Brand seems to have become a man who can dunk and shoot.
Although the team has beaten their opponents in these games, their average loss of points per game is actually close to 11 points. This is a terrible data, even in the preseason.
However, perhaps it is precisely because the preseason plus team is winning that no one has attracted much attention.
In the end, after the preseason, White’s performance was barely qualified. Vandewich finally traded him to the SuperSonics for a 25-round draft and was traded away together. As expected, Du Lin was traded to the Bucks for a 26-round draft.
There are only 15 people left in this Nuggets player list, and these 15 people are their last big list.
This set of arrays is critical in terms of configuration and rationality. Nash is the iron starter in the ball control position. His substitutes are "White Chocolate" Williams and this year’s rookie Chris? Duhon’s shooting guard is still started by Bell, with coval and Roger as small forwards, led by Anthony, and Dior and Ariza as his substitutes.
Online Brand and will start together, while their substitutes are Jefferson, a rookie who is good at projecting Aucour veteran Mutombo, and Bater, a meat shield.
This array can be described as a luxury array, and the depth is also much higher than last year.
After the preseason, they came out soon and ushered in the regular season opener.
In the first game, their opponent was the Rockets with the combination of "mm". McGrady joined the Rockets and Yao with the momentum of three-time scoring champion, which brought limited imagination to the Rockets fans.
This is Anthony’s first game this season.
Because the team has been greatly strengthened in the offseason, the fans who watched the opening match on the spot are also crowded.
The commentator for this game is "Magic" Johnson and his old partner Devon? Brown is said that it was not him who came to be the commentator in this game, but he volunteered to get the chance.
At the moment, the players from both sides are still training, and the two commentators can’t help but talk about Kan Kan, especially the die-hard fans of Johnson Anthony, who has high expectations for Anthony in the Nuggets this season.
"Devon’s Denver nuggets were a blockbuster in the playoffs last season. They directly stopped defending champion Lamar in the Western Conference finals, but everyone can see how much the absence of brand, the core of the team, has affected them. Now that Brand has returned to Nash to join the Denver nuggets this season, people are full of expectations." Johnson was full of praise as soon as he arrived.
However, out of Johnson’s expectation, Brown didn’t agree with him, but was a little worried. He said, "Irwin, maybe you didn’t pay much attention to the Nuggets. They lost 11 points in the preseason. I don’t know what D ‘Antony did to adjust the tactics, but I don’t think this is very good news."
"preseason?" Johnson shook his head and said, "The preseason game belongs to the performance stage of the rookie, and each team will have a lot of reservations about its strength, so this game has no practical reference significance."
Brown didn’t continue to talk about Johnson’s state, but turned to the court and said, "I hope so. In this game, their opponents have Yao, the" little giant ",and McGrady, the scoring champion, and JVG is said to have strengthened the team’s defense against the Nuggets this season. The pressure of this game is not small."
Johnson saw Brown’s worry and quickly said, "Don’t worry, Melo won’t let the fans down. To be honest, I can’t wait for him to play against McGrady now."
"Du!"
Johnson’s voice just fell off the sidelines when the referee blew the whistle.
The nuggets’ starting positions here are unchanged from the season except Nash, while the Rockets’ team and season have changed greatly because of the trade.
Partner Yao starting veteran Zhu Wan? Howard is naturally the scoring champion McGrady in the front line and the defensive expert Bob at the back. Sura and the team’s starting point guard Jim? Jackson
In game one, Yao and Yao Li, the jump ball, had the height advantage, and the Rockets got their first attack opportunity.
This attack, after Jackson controlled the ball for a while, he naturally handed it to McGrady, the core of the Rockets perimeter.
Defending McGrady is naturally an important reason for Bell to say that Bell is a little fat after coming back this offseason, which is also an important reason why the Nuggets can’t control their points in the preseason.
McGrady has just joined the Rockets after observing the fall of other players for a while. Naturally, he wants to show his importance by attacking, so he directly chose singles for the first goal.
Exploring the pace suddenly accelerated the playoffs of the season. Wilbur was directly given away by McGrady at the moment, and McGrady followed with a picturesque hand.
