C496 Slow Fleet(part I)
However, Antony was not that passionate. He only had an ice-cold expression on his face as he coldly said: "You knew that I had a match tonight, and even asked me out. "If it wasn't for the fact that you were my assistant coach before, I wouldn't have come out to meet you today."
"I know." The instructor smiled somewhat awkwardly and said: "Antony, the reason I called you out today is mainly because the new owner of our Lone Wolf Team, Mr. Shang Liang, admires you greatly, and impatiently wants to meet you."
"Do you really admire me, or do you have some other motive?" Antony let out a cold laugh, glanced at Shang Liang, and faintly said: "Don't think that just because you don't want to say anything, I don't know why you have invited me out."
"Bastard!" Seeing that Antony's attitude was so cold, Lucas was extremely displeased in his heart. He also wanted to intentionally show his displeasure in front of Ye Wenxuan and Shang Liang, so he pointed at Antony and shouted in dissatisfaction, "What's with your attitude?"
"Ai!" Mr. Antony is the ball star of Slow Fleet, people with status are not allowed to shout at him! Lucas, you are too rude! " Shang Liang interrupted Lucas and chuckled: "Mr. Antony, then tell me, why have we come looking for you today?"
"You guys want to compete against the Knights for the Slow Fleet tonight." Antony said calmly, "Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that if your Slow Fleet were to lose to the Knights tonight, then as long as your Lone Wolf Team wins the next two matches, your playoff position would be locked on."
"Hehe, smart." Shang Liang nodded, "That's right, that's what I meant."
Antony looked at Shang Liang, and faintly asked: "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Very simple. I want you to find an excuse not to participate in tonight's competition." Shang Liang said, "Actually, the strength of your Slow Fleet is closely related to the individual performance of your Antony. If you are not on the field, you will definitely lose in Slow Fleet to the Knights. "
"Why should I help you?" Antony said coldly.
"Based on this." Shang Liang pointed to the Maybach 62S that Ye Wenxuan had driven over, and said: "I heard that you, Mr. Antony, are a burning friend in cars, this Maybach 62S, is the gift that I gave you, Mr. Antony."
Upon seeing the Maybach 62S, Antony's expression changed, there was a glimmer in his eyes, but he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately returned to his calm demeanor.
Shang Liang took a good look at Antony's expression, and laughed: "Mr. Antony, I can tell that you really like this Maybach 62S. It's limited production, and even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy it."
"The car is indeed a good one. It's worth collecting." Antony thought for a while, then said: "However, even if I don't participate in the competition, I can't guarantee that I will lose to the Knights in terms of Slow Fleet. Furthermore, even if you lose to the Knights in Slow Fleet, you may not necessarily be able to win the next two matches. "
"Mr. Antony, this is not something you should worry about!" Shang Liang laughed and said: "As long as you promise, you will not participate in tonight's competition. I am very confident that I will lose to the knights in Slow Fleet. As for the following two matches of Lone Wolf Team, in your opinion, it would be extremely difficult to win them all. "However, in my opinion, I will undoubtedly win."
With that, Shang Liang looked at Ye Wenxuan.
Ye Wenxuan understood, so he walked in front of Antony and gave him the car keys to the Maybach 62S, and said: "Mr. Antony, let's test it out. Let's have a feel, the Maybach 62S and your Range Rover might win, but who's stronger?"
Antony looked at the car keys that Ye Wenxuan handed over. He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still reached out and took it from his, and walked straight towards the Maybach 62S, opened the car door, climbed in, and started the car.
A burst of engine roars sounded out, and in Antony's hands, the Maybach 62S instantly sprinted forward, moving as fast as lightning along the road in the scenic area.
Seeing that the Maybach 62S had run away without a trace, the instructor was filled with joy. He laughed and said: "Antony is able to accept this Maybach 62S, looks like this matter has already been decided. Boss, you still have a way. With just a few moves, Antony was settled. When I first came, I was not sure. "
"To Brother Liang, a mere Antony is not a problem at all." Lucas immediately flattered.
Shang Liang could not help but laugh.
After approximately half an hour, the Maybach 62S once again returned to their field of vision. With a suave parking motion, the car door opened, and Antony came out, walking in front of Shang Liang.
Shang Liang asked with a smile: "Mr. Antony, how is this Maybach?"
"Very good." Antony nodded his head, and said in satisfaction: "Boss Shang, thank you very much for your gift. I really like this Maybach 62S."
"Haha, it's good that you like it." Shang Liang squinted, and asked: "Then tonight's Slow Fleet competition …"
"I'll call my coach later. He said that I was climbing the mountain outside and accidentally fell down. My fracture is a bit severe. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in tonight's competition." Antony said.
In order to let Shang Liang be at ease, Antony took out his phone and started to make calls.
At this very moment, at the home court of Slow Fleet, most of the members of the Slow Fleet were training before the tournament. Coach Crawford was even more meticulous in his work, urging the members to train before the tournament.
"Everyone, tonight's match is extremely important. We have to win it." Crawford continued to direct and train as he spoke to the team members, "Although the riders are not as strong as us, we can't let our guard down. Once we lose this match, we would not know if our Slow Fleet could enter the playoff. "So, I hope that everyone will be more alert and not fall in the ditches."
Just then, the assistant coach brought over a mobile phone and handed it over to Crawford, saying: "Coach, it's Antony's call."
"Yes." Crawford nodded his head and accepted the phone. Although he was not happy that Antony did not participate in the team training, he still said very politely: "Hello, Antony!"
"Coach!" Antony spoke from the other end of the phone, "I have very unfortunate news to tell you."
