Chapter 85: Off-ball training

   On March 15, 2012, the Spurs got another day off, and Popovich gave the players a day off.

Early in the morning, Anxi followed Jeff Hornacek for a run. After playing the Knicks, Anxi followed Jeff Hornacek and started a special training without the ball. During this time, the Spurs’ schedule was the next day. A game, so there is still plenty of time for special training.

After playing the Knicks on March 7, Jeff Hornacek found Anxi a disc of Reggie Miller on March 8. He ran without the ball. Among the stars, it really depends on Reggie Miller’s. .

   In the next few days, Anxi started special training under the guidance of Jeff Hornacek.

Jeff Hornacek’s method of training off the ball is very simple. He made a few stakes in the yard to act as obstacles. Anxi’s primary task every day is to run around the stakes. Jeff Hornacek gave a rule. Anxi can end this initial training when the prescribed time is reached.

   At the beginning, Anxi felt that this training was very simple, because his speed was always very fast, running back and forth, and finishing within the prescribed time. From Anxi's point of view, it must be very simple. As a result, Anxi realized the difficulty, because Jeff Hornacek would stand by and direct.

In other words, Anxi’s circumnavigation is actually not static. Every time you run, there will be changes in the route, and this change has to be under the command of Jeff Hornacek, and Jeff Hornacek allows Anxi to bypass. Which pile, Anxi has to go around which pile, so, time and time again, Anxi was swayed by Jeff Hornacek’s command and didn’t know where to run, or suddenly ran back and forth, Anxi didn’t have time to react, so time naturally Delayed.

   This training, in the words of Jeff Hornacek: The situation on the court is changing rapidly, how can it be possible that you only follow one route.

And Jeff Hornacek also said that in the future, there will be other changes in this off-ball special training. For example, Jeff Hornacek will no longer command, Anxi has to look for opportunities by himself, as to how to find opportunities. , Jeff Hornacek didn't want to say it yet, but he would know when he said it.

   But from Anxi’s point of view, this special training without the ball is, in the final analysis, running. Running out of the open space at the fastest speed is a victory. This is still very simple for Anxi. Anxi feels that he may not need to upgrade the jersey system, and his off-ball may improve to a very good level.

   Before the 15th, the Spurs also played a few games.

On March 9th, the Spurs challenged the Clippers away. In this game, Anxi continued to start and acted as a cameo power forward. The Blake Griffin Buster, who was called out at the beginning of the season, continued to be reflected in this game. Anxi defended Griffin. Only 5 of 15 shots were made, but the Spurs still lost the game. Chris Paul scored 36 points. On the other hand, the other players of the Spurs were in a bad state. In the end, the Spurs lost 12 points and ended the winning streak.

   On March 11, the Spurs played against the Wizards at home. In this game, Anxi's task was to stare John to death. After the game, John's data became 2 of 14 shots. The Spurs won the game.

On March 13, the Spurs played against the Magic at home. Anxi, who had not rested since the All-Stars, was taken off by Popovich. Without Anxi, the Spurs still won the game. After winning this game, the season was shortened. The trade deadline postponed by the league is over.

As of the trade deadline, the Spurs have a record of 35 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference, and the Thunder, the second in the Western Conference, with 33 wins and 10 losses. The gap with the Spurs is already not small. There are only 66 games in the shrinking season, which means that the Spurs have only 66 games left. The next 25 games are up, and the Thunder have only 23 games left. The Spurs, the No. 1 in the Western Conference, will not lose as long as there are no major problems.

On March 16, the Spurs are about to usher in the third and final confrontation between the Spurs and the Thunder this season. In the first two games, both sides won each, so this game became a victory for both sides in the regular season. The best chance to lose.

Fortunately, the low-key Holy City media did not overstate the game, but the Oklahoma City media is different. Now the Spurs are No. 1 in the Western Conference, they feel very upset. After all, the Thunder have also won the Spurs. , So speaking, the Oklahoma City media is also very tough.

"Thunder Daily" reporter Royce Young wrote in the Thunder Daily's game preview column: "The Thunder Spurs are about to meet again. This game is the third time that the two sides have met. Maybe they will have to split in the regular season. It's a win. For the Spurs, they are No. 1 in the Western Conference and No. 1 in the league, so they may have a certain psychological advantage, but as a reporter for the Thunder Daily, what I want to say is that the Thunder and Spurs beat the Spurs in the first two games. One draw, the outcome of this game is yet to be known!"

As the Thunder’s official media, Royce Young’s speech appears to be very restrained. The outcome of the game is still unknown, and the Spurs have no ideas here, but the Oklahomaian reporter Darnell Mayberg The forward-looking reports made San Antonio reporters angry.

"The Thunder and Spurs are about to meet again. This is the first game of the Western Conference. Some people say that after the All-Stars, the Spurs are in good shape. The Thunder has no chance of winning this game. So in my opinion, this argument is extremely ridiculous. ."

"Why do I say that? The reason is very simple. Although the Spurs are No. 1 in the Western Conference, they are often No. 1 in the Western Conference. Last season, the Spurs were No. 1 in the Western Conference. As a result? They were grayed out in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Xiong Gan returned home! Therefore, whether the current Spurs are the first in the West or the bottom of the West~www.novelmtl.com~ Actually, they can't give them extra points, because they may be killed by a worse team at any time. What's more, the opponent of the Spurs in the next match is the Thunder, the Thunder led by the third thunder!"

Darnell Mabel actually used the black eight of last season to attack the Spurs. This immediately angered the San Antonio media. Originally, the black eight of last season was a scar on the Spurs. One season is about to pass. The scars are all It's almost done, but the result is good, and you reveal it again. Can the media on the Spurs' side be uncomfortable?

The San Antonio Express, the largest newspaper in the Holy City, did not start a war of words after Darnell Mabeli made such remarks. The three NBA reporters of the San Antonio Express-Jeff MacDonald and Mike Monroe And Denmark Kekani did not go to directly face Danel Meberg, the low-key of the Holy City has also been revealed in the media, they still honestly carried out the game preview.

Then predict that this game will be a fierce battle. The Spurs and the Thunder have a chance. However, the low-key of the Al-Quds does not mean that they will silently endure bullying by others. On the front page of the newspaper, the San Antonio Express used a "see you in the game". The title of "True Chapter" directly led the topic to the competition.

   Indeed, as the Auspicious San Antonio Express writes, no matter how much saliva is before the game, it is better to show excellent state during the game and win the game.

The war of words between the two cities did not happen. The San Antonio media believed that the Spurs and the Thunder were 50-50, while the Oklahoma City media were overly optimistic about their team, while the American sports media had a different view. They were more optimistic about the Spurs. ~www.novelmtl.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
