Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 231 pass by
Anthony made a successful dunk, a wonderful goal, narrowing the point difference by 2 points, but for the Puerto Rico team, they were not affected too much, and they were still using fast breaks in the next attack.

The core of Puerto Rico is Arroyo. He is currently at the peak of his career, and his speed is really fast.

In this position, he has succeeded many times in the previous games, and this time he chose a very good position to shoot. The moment he shot, he felt that the ball was going to be taken.

After the ball was shot from Arroyo's hands, it crossed a high parabola and flew straight towards the basket.

At this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the side, jumping up almost at the same height as the basket, and slapped fiercely at the flying ball with one hand.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, a volleyball-like block, and the ball flew directly towards the audience stands.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Arroyo also had an unbelievable expression on his face. He had tried this point many times before, and almost every time the US team couldn't keep up with his rhythm, and he easily scored points, but this time the shot was forced. It was completely blocked, and it was still almost positively blocked.

The person who blocked the shot was naturally Anthony. He had already observed the offense of the Puerto Rico team off the court, basically relying on Arroyo's breakthrough, or the outside three-point attack after the ball was scored, because Arroyo is short and has a fast pace. Soon, the U.S. team struggled to defend him, but with a double-team, the three-pointer from the outside couldn't be defended, so it seemed so passive.

But Anthony also discovered the flaws of the Puerto Rico team, which is also Arroyo, because Arroyo is fast, but each of them is short, so when he is attacking, he will have habitual movements. Observe the situation of his teammates, then he probably wants to break the ball, and if he doesn't observe his teammates' running position after using the pick-and-roll, then the ball is probably scored by himself.

This is the disadvantage of short players, because after breaking in, the US team is tall and big, and it will be difficult for him to observe the positioning of his teammates.

Because the players of the US team don’t pay much attention to their opponents, they hardly notice this, or they can’t limit it if they notice it, but Anthony has something that others don’t have, that is a very fast first step, so he is defending At the time, he intentionally let his defender take a step, and when Arroyo popped up, he rushed back to the basket with a quick step, jumped up from behind Duncan, and met Arroyo with a shot. Cover.

In the game, blocking shots is a very morale-boosting thing, and Anthony also knows this, so after blocking shots, he yelled at Arroyo, almost scaring the latter.

Arroyo was almost frightened, but the confidence of the US team players returned at this moment. In the next offensive round, they played more carefully and patiently on the field, and they played against time. The pace of the ball, although the defense of the Puerto Rico team is fierce, and the defense is also very fast, but they can't stand the US team's tall and strong, and the shooting percentage after returning to the confidence is quite impressive. It was about 3 minutes into the second quarter. At that time, the point difference was tied.

This ebb and flow, although Arroyo was not discouraged by that risk, but there was obviously a little hesitation in the choice of the shot, and coach Brown put on Anthony's suggestion that he had never been in the international arena. With the tried zone defense, his breakthrough space is even more limited.

The American team became more and more morale, and the ending of the game seemed to be expected.

In the stands, Su Xi, who arrived late, had already sat down. Looking at Anthony who was galloping on the field, the past stories appeared in her heart one after another. Feeling like this, she can't wait to rush off to find him and tell him the suffering of the past year, but she knows that it's game time, she can't go up to influence him, so hold back the excitement in her heart, and sit quietly in the stands to watch the ball.

"Melo is so handsome!"

At this moment, in front of Su Xi, two little girls were discussing.

"Yeah, look at the momentum he plays, he doesn't pay attention to his opponent at all, and the US team is much more handsome after he comes up!"

Listening to the discussion of the two little girls in front, Su Xi's heart warmed up. She remembered that when she left the United States, she believed that Anthony would make a name for himself in the league. It was just because she didn't want to see the sad past and she was pregnant. After various inconveniences, she rarely touches things related to basketball.

It was not until the child was born that she started to get in touch with basketball again. When she saw that Anthony was on the list announced by the US team, she finally couldn't hold back her heart and decided to come to Greece to find Anthony. Now, a year After a long time, she finally saw the man she had been thinking about day and night again.

How could she be unhappy when she heard two little girls praising her man.

At this moment, Anthony on the field steals the Puerto Rico team's fast break, facing the Puerto Rico team's defensive players, he jumps and dunks directly inside the free throw line.

The force was heavy, the brutal and bloody slam dunk, and the "bang" sound immediately ignited the fans at the scene, and a tsunami roared.

"Melo I love you!"

At this moment, among the two girls in front of Su Xi, the girl with short hair made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted loudly towards the arena.

"You are stupid!" Another girl with long hair seemed to be frightened by the girl with short hair, so she grabbed him and said.

"Melo is so handsome!" The short-haired girl looked excited, like a nympho, she looked like the kind of impulsive female man, and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her actions.

When the long-haired girl saw the short-haired girl like this, she gave her a helpless look, but she didn't say much. It seemed that the relationship between the two was pretty good.

Seeing the girl screaming at Anthony in front, Su Xi not only didn't feel jealous, but felt a sense of sweetness for no reason. Her man was liked by other women, and the man belonged to her. This kind of sweetness cannot be expressed in words.

She wished the game was over now so she could rush to find her Anthony right away.

After a while, Anthony used the pick-and-roll to directly press the players of the Puerto Rico team for a layup. At the same time, the ball was scored and caused a foul by the players of the Puerto Rico team. made a punching motion.

"Melo, I want to give birth to you!" The short-haired girl shouted excitedly again, as crazy as the male fans.

"Okay, okay, Melo has a girlfriend." The long-haired girl seemed to be having a hard time with the short-haired girl, so she hurriedly said.

Su Xi's heart suddenly tightened when he heard the two girls talking about it, girlfriend?
"What's wrong with having a girlfriend, I'm willing to be Melo's mistress and have children!" The short-haired girl's nympho has reached a certain level.

"Okay, okay, I understand, but Melo doesn't like us anymore, look at his current girlfriend, Megan Fox, although she is not very well-known in Hollywood, but she is beautiful, and Those women who have an affair with him, Andriana Lima, an internationally renowned model, Eva Lagrange, a well-known American actress, which one can we compare, so the nympho is just a nympho , don't let too many people see it." The long-haired girl said educationally.

"Hey, let me just talk about it~" the short-haired girl stuck out her tongue at the long-haired girl, and said mischievously, she also had self-knowledge, she was just crazy.

But at this moment, Su Xi, who was sitting behind her, turned pale, staring blankly at the man who was galloping so fast on the field, it seemed as if a knife was suddenly cutting her heart, and she was in pain. I couldn't speak for a while, and the air around me seemed to be suffocated in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, when someone next to her suddenly patted her, she turned her head suddenly, and heard the person next to her say, "Ma'am, your child is crying."

Hearing this, she looked down and found that the child was crying non-stop. Although the atmosphere of the fans at the scene was lively, it was still a little harsh. She quickly apologized, and then left the arena with the child in her arms. The moment she walked out of the gate , The tears finally couldn't stop falling, like rain.

Anthony played for more than one quarter in a row, and his physical strength was a little too much. Coach Brown also replaced him. At this time, when it was less than 2 minutes before the end of the halftime, the US team had already pulled back the momentum. They are now nearly 10 points ahead of their opponents.

At the end of the field, Anthony scanned the stands with his eyes again, but he still didn't find Su Xi, but in the end she saw a person dodging out from the exit of the fans. His back looked a bit like Su Xi, but he couldn't tell from the back alone. So he just sat down and waited for the man to come back to see if it was right.

After the game, although the Puerto Rico team posed a certain threat to the US team, they were finally defeated. 85:69, the US team defeated their opponents and ushered in their first victory in this Olympic Games.

Anthony didn't find Su Xi's figure until the end of the game. After the game, he quickly took a shower and returned to the room. He took out the photo and looked at it. He even wondered if his eyes were dazzled, or maybe he made a mistake. After all, there are not no people who look alike in this world.

Although very helpless, Anthony can only choose to put this matter aside for the time being, and can only wait for the Olympics to end before going to China again.
