The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 70 Playing with your brain

The number one star of the Nuggets, Carmelo Anthony, did not come. It is said that he had a cold and stayed in Denver to hang water.

But his presence or absence does not seem to affect the normal operation of the Nuggets.

Breaking with the head coach and publicly demanding a trade, the clock is ticking for Melo to leave Denver.

Just after the end of last season, the Nuggets offered Anthony a three-year contract extension of 3 million, but Melon made it clear that he was unwilling to renew.

On July 7, Stoudemire, who had just left the Suns and entered the Knicks, publicly stated that he had sent a text message to Melon, inviting him to join the Big Apple.

On July 7, Anthony held a wedding in New York, and the good show came.

Paul made an impromptu toast at the wedding:

"I wish you and I can get together with Amare in the Knicks and form our own Big Three!"

James beside him leaned forward and backward with a smile, and made up a knife casually:

"If you want to compete with our Big Three in Miami, it is hopeless to fight alone. You must have at least two helpers. It is best to go to New York!"

Almost everyone in the room laughed, except Nuggets owner Stan Kroenko and his son, the new team president Josh Kroenko.

The owner of the Nuggets, Stan Kronko, is a veteran giant who can enter the top five on the list of the richest owners in the NBA. He not only owns the Denver Nuggets, but also owns the Colorado Avalanche in the ice hockey league and Denver in the football league. Broncos.

Judging from the market value of these three professional sports teams, the Denver Nuggets are the cheapest, so they simply leave it to their son to gain experience and accumulate some connections.

Although Josh Kronko is a rich second generation, he is still a low-key person. He doesn't hit people with racing cars, and he doesn't show off to the outside world that he is rich, smart, and wealthy.

In order to ease the embarrassment, he grabbed the microphone and said:

"Like everyone else, I like the city of New York very much, but Denver is also good and has its own style. Guests are welcome to visit Denver when they have time."

In August, in a small town called Baltimore in eastern New York, Josh Kronko met Anthony as the new boss.

Anthony is very firm:
"Let me go!"

The crown prince has just ascended the throne, and the marshal of the soldiers and horses is about to rebel. How can he be the emperor?

Anthony's contract has only the last year left. If he does not renew his contract with the Nuggets, he will have to get a deal this season, otherwise Anthony will be free as soon as the season is over.

Chickens and eggs are beaten, empty-handed.

The 30-year-old Josh Kroenko has shown extraordinary city skills and means, building plank roads openly, crossing the warehouse secretly, and on the surface, he tried to keep Anthony in every possible way, but secretly he was actively looking for a team and bargaining chips for the trade.

At this time, the Knicks, Rockets, Nets, Clippers, and Hornets all gave chips with sincerity, and they just waited for the Nuggets to choose the best!

Just such a team with internal and external troubles and undercurrents, the last time it shot the sun into a sieve in the Denver Plateau...

Is it bearable, what is unbearable?

Gentry issued a military order to Robert Savoy, this must be won!

In fact, if Tu Man was so ruthless just now, if he loses this game again, let alone the fans are not discouraged, it will also be a fatal blow to the Suns players.

Therefore, everyone is gearing up and preparing for a big fight.

Even Nash took off his suit, put on his training clothes, and participated in the warm-up. If the team couldn't start the game, he didn't mind going on the court to clean up the mess.

Of course, Gentry will not let Nash play, and Anthony is not there. If the Suns send Nash to barely win the game, it is no different from losing.

Tuman, Channing Frye, Hill, Richardson, Dragic are still sent.

After the tactics were arranged, Tu Man suddenly stood up and announced:

"Brothers, starting from today, I will be stuck. Before I can grab 50 rebounds in a single game, I will leave things like grabbing rebounds to everyone!"

Gentry clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"The comprehension is good, did you figure it out so quickly?"

Su Maite smirked and dismantled the stage:

"It's not what Tu Man wanted to understand. I saw that he had been asking Yao Ming for advice for a long time. Maybe Yao Ming told him the truth here?"

Gentry laughed:
"So we got a center coach for free? Brilliant, terrific!"

Tu Man moaned with a mournful face:

"Goodbye, my double 20, double 30..."

Richardson patted his chest and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'll cover the ten rebounds you missed!"

Everyone burst into laughter, as if they were bidding, and reported their chips one after another. Even Dragic, the shortest, was not far behind, and reported 5 rebounds...

Tu Man couldn't help blushing when he saw his teammates elated.

Fortunately, there is Yao Ming, or else it really becomes a cancer?

The Nuggets' starting lineup is:

Point guard: Chauncey Billups

Shooting Guard: Aaron Afflalo

Small Forward: JR Smith

Power Forward: Sheldon Williams

Center: Nene Hilario

Tu Man's words must be practiced, and from the beginning of the match, he clung to Nene and began to wrestle.

Then he discovered that it was not easy.

Nene is a model of a brutal center in the league, with strength, explosiveness and speed, and he is from Brazil, with the blood of the Selecao flowing in his body, and he has a set of elf-like dexterous steps.

On the defensive end, it's okay to say that Nene doesn't often stick to the paint and play back. He does more. The entire half court is an active area, and frequently participates in various offensive tactics, such as screens, cuts, back runs, and support. ...

Tu Man didn't follow out. According to Gentry's arrangement, he would die in the three-second zone. Of course, before that, he would turn over all the round objects that rushed in!
But on the offensive end, Tuman was in trouble.

It was more difficult than imagined to keep Nene firmly stuck behind his back.

Of course, Tu Man will get stuck. It’s not his first day playing basketball, but no one forces him at the NCAA. He is also used to jumping ahead of time, and he is gradually getting used to it.

I still haven't forgotten the basic movements, but it's just to sink my dantian, take a horse step, spread my arms, sit back, and the opponent flies away...

However, Nene did not fly away.

He can carry Tuman, and he is not satisfied with carrying it.

While carrying it, he abruptly withdrew the chair, took advantage of Tuman's loss of balance, and dodged in front of him with a stride, and stuck Tuman behind him...

Tu Man didn't fall down, his calf was much stronger than his thigh, if someone else had landed on his butt earlier, he could always take a step back, his calf suddenly exploded, and he propped up his body stiffly.

But if this goes on, it won't matter!
If he wants to be in the NCAA, Tu Man has long been waiting on his elbows, three elbows and five elbows, to ensure that Nei Nei becomes a noodle, why can't he just flatten and round it?
It's a pity that Gentry won't let it go!

Subconsciously glanced to the sidelines, but saw Yao Ming stretched out his index finger and pointed to his temple.

I went, and said I have no brains!
