Anthony's signing was carried out quickly, and the two parties reached a fully guaranteed veteran's basic salary contract.

As Demps said, he wanted this opportunity very much.

The day after the buyout deadline, he completed the team's physical examination and became the Pelicans' 15th man.

He caught up with the Pelicans' first game in March, against the Lakers.

This is the third and last time the two sides have fought in the season.

The two teams won one game in the first two matches. As a potential opponent in the playoffs, this third game is very important.

Those who win will have a great psychological advantage.

The good news for the Pelicans is that this game will be played at home, which will allow them to wait for it.

On the morning of the game, the Pelicans arranged their daily shooting training, and the players went to the locker room early to prepare.

Anthony also arrived at the team at this time.

"This is your wardrobe, which was previously Cloud's."

Nash led Anthony to the locker room and said with a smile.

Anthony was at the peak when Nash was playing. The two of them were old acquaintances and seemed to be very chatting.

Tang Tian also met Anthony again at this time.

The two teams only met once this season, and the last time it was just before the beginning of the season.

Actually, he had a little impression at that time that Anthony lost weight in the summer.

He suffered a knee injury and lost his explosive power and speed. If he lost weight, he could reduce the burden on his knees and make up for the loss of speed to a certain extent.

This choice is OK, and it is something that will inevitably be done.

However, his confrontation and positioning after losing weight are very problematic.

Before, he could still play the fourth position by weight, but now, the fourth position cannot stand it and the third position cannot be kept, and it has become a veritable ten thousand people.

This is also one of the main reasons why his performance in the Trail Blazers is sluggish.

Nash sent Anthony to him and left first. Anthony took the initiative and smiled and greeted his teammates one by one.

As Demps said, his posture was really low this time.

This may be a person, and his mind will change only after experiencing great ups and downs.

After eating DNP in the Trail Blazers for nearly a month, he also has a clear understanding of his current positioning.

"Tang, thank you."

Anthony said thankfully when he greeted Tang Tian.

Demps talked about Tang Tian’s attitude when he signed with him. He knew why he was able to come to the Pelicans.

Tang Tian didn't say anything, but just smiled and hugged Anthony and greeted him.

He had no intersection with Anthony except for his opponents before, and he chose Anthony for the team's consideration.

So he just listened to the thanks, and his attitude towards Anthony was just the attitude of an ordinary team member.

As training was about to begin, Stevens and Nash returned to the locker room.

Stevens announced the morning training content and then chatted with Anthony alone for a while.

He did not arrange for Anthony to appear in the evening, and he now has two tasks for Anthony.

One is to practice the defense of other forward players in one-on-one training, and the other is to play the role of James in full-game confrontation training.

Tang Tian didn't leave while Stevens and Anthony were chatting.

Tang Tian was still relieved when he heard the content of the conversation between the two.

The reason why he was willing to let Anthony come was that in addition to Demps saying that Anthony was low, there was another reason why he was willing to let Anthony come from.

Anthony's current situation of tens of thousands of people stabbing on the defensive end cannot be changed. Among the active coaches who can use him, they are Popovich and Stevens.

Stevens has coached Thomas Jr. in history.

No matter how poor Anthony's defense is, after all, he is there, and he will not be much worse than Thomas Jr.

Stevens' arrangement at this time was this consideration. He could use these poor defense because he had to make up for it through system defense.

And this is not something that can be solved in one day.

Anthony accepted it.

It seems that before coming here, he was really mentally prepared.

The training session begins soon.

Although Anthony lost his explosive power and speed, and the three threats were all left to pull out, it was in the official game.

On the training ground, he was still the same offensive kaleidoscope.

Stevens was very happy with Anthony's performance.

They are all signed with basic salary, so what other bicycles are needed.

After one-on-one training, the whole game of confrontation training is followed.

Anthony was placed on the bench by Stevens.

In the 10-minute confrontation in the first game, he was not arranged to play.

However, just after 7 minutes of this quarter, there was a burst of painful screams on the field.

Kuzma sprained his ankle while defending, and it was quite swollen.

After seeing this, Stevens asked the team doctor to arrange Kuzma to the sidelines for emergency treatment, and then sent Anthony to the court.

Tang Tian was slightly stunned when he saw this.

He remembered that when he first traveled through time, his teammate Folses was injured and he had the chance to appear.

Is Anthony opening the protagonist's aura like him?

In the full-game confrontation training, Anthony's performance was as good as one-on-one.

When the training ended and after communicating with his teammates, Stevens announced the 12-man roster for the evening game.

Carter, Kuzma and Robinson in this game dnp.

In other words, Anthony, who had no chance to play, came out of the DNP roster because of Kuzma's injury.

There is nothing to say except for good luck.

That night, the New Orleans Arena was full.

The third game of the Peak Lake Battle, local fans will definitely not miss it.

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the court to warm up one after another.

Anthony was given a lot of shots on the scene.

Although Anthony is not in his state, he is famous after all.

And this is his first game to join the Pelicans, and what kind of performance he has is also the focus of attention from the outside world.

However, there was a detail on the scene: Anthony and James were brothers, but neither of them took the initiative to say hello during training.

This makes the already interesting competition even more eye-catching.

After the training, the opening ceremony entered the scene and the lineups of the two teams were released.

A 12-man roster for the game was released together.

At this moment, the fans on the hotline suddenly got excited because Anthony was on the Pelicans' 12-man roster.

"Don: LeBron, surrender quickly, your brother is in my hands!"

"LeBron: Sorry, I don't have brothers."

"Dang: You're ruthless! But the Lakers and my Insider Durant, you'll lose tonight!"

"LeBron:..."

...

The game begins soon and the players of both teams begin to appear.

Tang Tian touched Davis and Green's heads before he went to the field. When he walked to the technical table, he grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and sprinkled it into the air.

The cheers at the scene suddenly burst out.

Practice makes perfect, and Tang Tian’s move to throw magnesium powder is becoming more and more professional.

Of course, what is more important is that throwing magnesium powder in front of James is always exciting.
Chapter completed!
