I am Saitama...

Sorry, I went to the wrong set.

The person who came in was Billups.

Because the phone was always turned off, even the agent could not contact Anthony. In the end, the management and coaching staff had no choice but to find Billups.

When it comes to the Nuggets, the only person Anthony is willing to listen to is Billups.

Billups also asked JR Smith, and then asked Anthony's bodyguard to find out where Anthony was.

As soon as he entered the door, he was choked by the smoke that filled the room and coughed.

And with the dim light, I thought I was in some mysterious place.

"It's Chauncey, help me get some mead from the wine rack outside, and then close the door."

Anthony squinted to see who was coming, then lay back and said.

Billups followed Anthony's instructions and took a bottle of wine from the door, then closed the door.

But after putting the wine on the bedside, he then walked to the window, and then...

"Wow~"

He opened the curtain.

A dazzling light came in from the window.

Anthony reached out to cover his eyes and shouted to Billups to close the curtains.

It was still afternoon when he came back yesterday, but he didn't expect that it was already the next morning.

I am confused and do not know the time.

Billups did not do as he was told this time. Instead, he walked to the bed and moved a stool, then picked up two cups and poured some into each.

Anthony was a little confused by his series of operations.

Moreover, after all this hard work, he was already a little sober, and his anger was lost when Billups handed him the wine glass.

He stood up and leaned on the bed, took the wine glass and took a sip.

There was a spicy taste in his mouth. This was not the mead he wanted. It was vodka!

His wine rack contained more than just that kind of wine, and he was too confused to smell it.

He was about to say that Billups took the wrong one, but he didn't expect that Billups simply drank the vodka in his glass.

"Huh~"

I didn’t expect this guy to be so good at drinking!

Anthony also drank the vodka in one gulp, but unfortunately he choked and coughed.

Sure enough, not all pussy is so easy to pretend.

He quickly got up from the bed and ran to the toilet to rinse his mouth.

It was at this time that he was stunned for a moment when he looked at his somewhat bloated and decadent self in the mirror.

By the time he came out of the bathroom, Billups had already opened the window for ventilation.

The smoke drifted out of the window, and the air became much fresher.

It was a bit cold in Denver in April, so he sat back on the bed and covered himself with the quilt.

"When I first played in Denver, I was pretty much where you are now."

Billups saw that Anthony was awake a lot, and then he spoke.

"Have you played here before?"

Just like Lin Ying's reaction when Billups said he was from Denver, Anthony communicates less with Billups. He is not the kind of person who takes the initiative to care about his teammates, and naturally he doesn't know.

What's more, that was indeed a long time ago.

"Two years ago, I spent the most painful two years of my career here. I was in a sluggish state and suffered from injuries. I thought I was leaving the NBA."

When Billups said this, there was emotion in his tone, and memories in his eyes, but mixed with complicated expressions.

The past is hard to look back on.

Anthony resonated unconsciously.

"But I'm grateful for those two years."

But what Billups said next made him look surprised.

"Because it was through that kind of failure that I realized that this is the NBA. Everyone here is the Michael Jordan they were expected to be in high school and college. I am so ordinary."

These words of Billups did not disgust Anthony, but made him think deeply.

Although he doesn't know much about Billups' entire career, he still knows one thing. Billups was also the No. 3 pick that year!

Billups has already averaged 17.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game as a freshman. Although his college achievements are not as good as Anthony's, he is still very successful.

You must know that in addition to Duncan, the top pick in the 1997 class, there was also Tracy McGrady who was behind him.

Such a player ends up saying that he is just an ordinary player in the NBA.

Well, he may not have understood what Billups really wanted to say.

Fortunately, what Billups said next spoke to his heart.

"Mello, you have never experienced a trough before, so a temporary defeat will be difficult for you to accept.

But I can tell you that this is actually the most valuable asset in a player's career.

Because I know how uncomfortable this feeling is, I will do anything to avoid it.

I'm an average player, but you're not.

As long as you understand what I'm saying, you'll be as great a player as Michael."

Billups continued.

Anthony sat up straight unconsciously.

Same thing, it depends on who says it.

Billups led the Pistons to defeat the all-powerful Lakers F4 and was elected Finals MVP.

He deserves the word great.

Then such a great player said he could be a player like Jordan!

Ha, that is a height that James has never expected!

He suddenly felt like he was okay again.

"You wash your face, get dressed, and we'll go to the living room and continue chatting."

Seeing that Anthony's energy was back, Billups got up and walked to the bedside, reaching out to Anthony.

Anthony held his hand and was pulled up by him.

The warrior, who had already lost his blood, finally returned to his half-blood state after being sucked hard by the senior mage.

Back in the living room, Billups and Anthony had an analysis.

Why does he say Anthony can rival Jordan? How can the Nuggets turn defeat into victory? What does Anthony need to do...

Anthony listened with great concentration and kept nodding.

Billups as a leader has never been about how strong he is, but more about his leadership and spiritual attributes.

And just like what he and Anthony said, those things he has are not innate, but are slowly mastered after experiencing the trough of his career.

By the time Billups finished speaking, Anthony's health bar had returned to 70 or 80 percent.

The Nuggets really found the right person this time.

They had just finished chatting when another person came to Anthony's villa.

Nuggets general manager Walken Dean.

Walken Dean only said one thing to Anthony when he came in.

"Mello, whatever you want to do, do it with all your strength. If you fail, I will take the initiative to resign to take responsibility."

As soon as these words were spoken, Anthony's health bar suddenly filled up.

He stood up and hugged Dean Walken, his expression moved.

The ultimate trust from the team general manager!

Now that the words have come to this, what reason does he have for not giving it a try!

Billups looked at the two of them and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

In fact, if the Nuggets were eliminated in the first round, Warken Dean would have been fired immediately.

He is also a smart person who strikes preemptively and uses retreat to advance.
