Super Role Player

Chapter 40: The winning streak continues

   In the game against the Jazz, Anxi once again showed his characteristics as a surprise soldier. After limiting Paul Millsap, the Spurs gradually occupied the advantage on the field, and soon won the game and won the opening 4 consecutive victories.

   Anxi has had considerable playing time for three consecutive games and has truly entered the Spurs rotation. Especially in this game against the Jazz, the Spurs' victory in Anxi was indispensable. If he hadn't defended Paul Millsap, the Spurs' victory in this game would really be uncertain.

   After the New Year, and Abby sent away Jeff Hornacek and the others, Anxi was finally relieved, Abby moved in again, and the two had a sweet little life again.

In 2012, on January 2nd, the Spurs ushered in the first battle of the new year. The opponent was the Timberwolves. They rotated again. Anxi played only 14 minutes. The Spurs won the game without a **** edge and won 5 consecutive victories. .

   Then, a day later, Anxi started the first half and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks to help the Spurs win the sixth game of next season. This time the opponent is the Warriors. Faced with this, he almost chose his own team, Anxi also got a lot of opportunities to play and proved himself.

   On January 5, the Spurs faced the Mavericks back to back. Popovich still insisted on his rotation policy. Anxi didn't even go to Dallas, but received news of the Spurs' victory in San Antonio.

The Spurs returned to San Antonio after a day off and then faced the Denver Nuggets. The hot Spurs won the game again with a 7-man score in double figures. Anxi was in this game. He scored 19 points, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, once again improving his single-game scoring record.

   8 consecutive wins! The Spurs are in a surprisingly good state. At present, almost everyone of the 14 players in the Spurs has played their own role. The old Lao Lao of GDP, the support of Thiago Splitter, the perimeter of Anxi and Kawhi Leonard. Defensively, as well as a group of bench bandits on the bench that can even be used as a starter at key moments, the Spurs' 8-game winning streak makes people feel so reasonable.

   In 8 games, Anxi played in 6 of them. In addition to being amazing on the defensive end, the offensive end has also repeatedly made key three-pointers, which is now regarded as a new discovery by the Spurs.

   However, the Spurs have not met any real strong team in these 8 games. The Grizzlies in the first game are regarded as the second-rate strong team in the league. In the second game, the Clippers faced the Clippers, although they played well at the beginning of the season, but after a few games, they were completely exposed. At most, they were the teams that competed with the Grizzlies. The next few opponents, the Rockets, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Warriors are the kind of teams that are on the edge of the playoffs, which are two grades lower than the Grizzlies. The opponents of the next two games, although the Mavericks are the defending champions, they lost a lot of their main players during the offseason, and their strength has long been unable to compare with last season. This season's Mavericks can barely be regarded as a second-rate team, while the Nuggets are It's a grade worse than the Mavericks.

Therefore, in these eight victories, the Spurs have actually not encountered a truly top-ranking team in the league, such as the Heat, Thunder, Lakers, and Bulls. In the eyes of many people, the most proving 8-game winning streak is the Spurs. It's very stable. They can win the games that should be won all the way, but when playing against teams that have no disadvantages in strength, such as the Heat and Thunder, it is hard to say who wins and loses in the game.

   Therefore, the current Spurs are actually still a Spurs who have not proven themselves to be the first-class team in the league, although they won the first eight straight games.

   But the chance to prove themselves was soon there. After playing the Nuggets, the Spurs didn't rest. The next day they flew to Oklahoma. They will face a back-to-back schedule again. This time their opponent is the Thunder.

   In 2007, the Thunder selected Kevin Durant with the second pick, followed by Russell Westbrook with the No. 4 pick in 2008, and James Harden with the No. 4 pick in 2009, forming the Thunder's three minors. The 2011-2012 season was a season where the Thunder broke out. Kevin Durant won consecutive scoring titles, Russell Westbrook continued to improve, and James Harden also grew into the league’s super sixth man this season. For one, the three juniors have just finished, and the time has come for the Thunder to produce results.

   On January 8, 2012, dragging the exhausted body caused by consecutive away games, the Spurs' away game to challenge the Thunder will also begin.

   In the last game he played for the Nuggets, Anxi played 27 minutes and was almost used as a main force, so of course Anxi was placed on the bench in this game.

   The Spurs started here with point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, center Thiago Splitter. On the Thunder side, point guard Russell Westbrook, shooting guard Sabose Frosa, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Serge Ibaka, center Kendrick Perkins.

The recent schedule has made Anxi feel full of malice. Not counting the statutory holiday on January 1, during the six days from January 2 to January 7, UU read www.uukanshu.com Spurs in total. After playing 4 games, including today's game, that would be 5 games in 7 days. If it weren't for Popovich's rotation policy, I'm afraid Anxi and the others would have been exhausted to death-dogs.

The tight schedule is actually the biggest problem facing the Spurs in the shrinking season. Fortunately, Popovich used his scheduling ability to gain the advantage for the Spurs. On the other hand, the opponent of this game, the Thunder, played 7 days before then. In four games, only one less than the Spurs. In these four games, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook played almost the whole game, and James Harden on the bench also played four games. The game didn't rest much.

In the past 7 days, the Spurs have not arranged much training. They have been flying and running everywhere all day. Everywhere they go, they will do some restorative training at most. Anxi feels that his progress is very slow and has practiced. CIC has not seen any improvement recently after many months of CIC.

In recent games, Anxi has also discovered a lot of his own shortcomings. Needless to say, the offensive end is lacking. Although he has got the ball-handling ability of TJ Ford, Anxi's offense is still one of the kind of players with a fresh trick. There is only one three-pointer. On the defensive end, Anxi has maintained his consistent level, but Anxi always feels that his defense is a bit problematic.

The problem is that Anxi can always complete the defensive task assigned to him by Popovich, but when completing the task, there will always be some episodes, such as playing the Clippers, Anxi will be accidentally caught by Blake Griffin. succeed……

   So An Xi feels that maybe his defense is not really complete, and maybe he needs to improve.
