In July, the NBA has reopened the free agency market and trade market, and for the defending champion Spurs, how to maintain their competitiveness has become their most important job right now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The only rookie of the season, No. 59, played in Summer League, but unfortunately, the player, Marcus Dammon, did not perform well, and the Spurs were basically certain that they would not sign him.

For the Spurs, the position they need to strengthen in the new season should be the interior, Tim Duncan is old, and if the interior does not make up for excellent interior substitutes, it will be difficult to rotate Popovich next season. However, the excellent Spurs scouting team has long developed a strategy to find the inside, and they sent three scouts, including veteran scout Paul Hank, to the United Kingdom to search for the Olympics.

The Spurs' style has been shifting to European basketball in the past two years, and the recruitment target has been on European players, so there is a high possibility of getting talent in the Olympics.

However, the Spurs' recruitment did not stagnate, and Nando De Colo, who was selected by the Spurs with the 53rd pick in the second round in 2009, agreed a two-year contract with the Spurs.

And Nando De Colo's joining is obviously related to Tony Parker and Dior, De Colo is their French teammate, and this time to join, maybe it is also Tony Parker's recommendation.

At the same time, the Chinese national team began their friendly match training.

The opponents in the two friendly games in China were a team called the American Star Team, but there was not even a regular NBA player in this team, and Anxi began to show his strength in these two games.

In the first game, Anxi mastered the team's possession, held the ball with various projections, and also played his newly developed back body technology, various scores, and at the end of the game, Anxi got 28 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 5 blocks, and performed very well, and won the first game.

In the second game, Anxi continued to exert his might, hitting 9 three-pointers outside the three-point line, directly scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, dominating both offensive and defensive ends, and the men's basketball team won again, but in these two battles, in Anxi's personal opinion, he felt that he still had too little contact with his teammates, basically fighting alone, if it wasn't for his good personal condition, Anxi would not have been able to play so well.

The opponents in the two friendly matches were not strong, the men's basketball team won very easily, and the country was also jubilant, and even Anxi, who scored high scores, was blown into the sky.

Before the men's basketball warm-up game has been played 10 games, Anxi only participated in two of them, before Anxi arrived at the national team, there was also the Stankovic Cup game, and also faced the second team of the Australian national team in a row, there were losses and wins, and the overall win was more, especially the championship of the Stankovic Cup, defeating the first team of the Australian national team, at that time the country was jubilant, after all, the national team defeated the Australian team, which is likely to be one of the opponents in the men's basketball Olympics.

And then Anxi was very powerful as soon as he came back, which made fans feel that the men's basketball team even had hope of making a further breakthrough in the London Olympics.

But An Xi felt that the situation was not as optimistic as she imagined.

In the two games, Anxi felt that he was playing alone at all, and his contact with his teammates could be said to be almost non-existent, Bob Dunward had been busy training defense, and had not arranged corresponding offensive tactics for Anxi at all, that is to say, in terms of tactical status, Anxi's status in the national team was zero.

Helpless, Anxi had no choice but to find Bob Dunward again, you don't let the team practice offensive tactics, but you have to arrange a few offensive routines for me, right?

So, Bob Deng Huade had no choice but to arrange a set of offensive tactics for Anxi, which can be summed up in sixteen words......

That's right, it's still that set of high cover tactics, Bob Dunward made Anxi the ball carrier in the high cover tactics, which can be regarded as coping with Anxi.

After playing two domestic warm-up games, the men's basketball team boarded a plane and flew to Europe.

The Olympics are about to begin, and in Europe, the national team has two more warm-up matches, both against Poland.

After flying to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, the men's basketball team took a day off and threw themselves into the game.

Poland is also one of the strongest teams in Europe, they have the NBA's famous Polish hammer Masingotat, but because Gortat's style is not suitable for international basketball, Poland did not make it to the London Olympics.

Because of the existence of Anxi, it is much easier for the men's basketball team to play Poland, and in the first quarter, Anxi and the United Arab Emirates fired continuously on the outside, leading Poland 16:8.

The rules of international games are different from NBA games, first of all, the distance of the three-point line is different, the three-point line of the NBA is 7.24 meters, while the three-point line of the international game is 6.25 meters, which is a lot shorter, but it is no different for Anxi's system.

And because Anxi's range is originally very long, in the international arena, Anxi can even stand two or three steps away from the three-point line and shoot directly, which makes the Polish players feel speechless, this is impossible to defend at all!

The time of the international game is not the same as the time of the NBA game, the international game is divided into four quarters, each quarter is only 10 minutes, a game is played for 40 minutes, and the time of each offense, the NBA is 24 seconds, the international game is 30 seconds, the total time is relatively short, and the time of the offensive round is long, and the score of the international game is generally not high.

After the first friendly game with Poland, the men's basketball team won 76:56, and Anxi hit 8 three-pointers and scored 29 points.

In the second friendly game, Anxi continued to perform well, scoring 27 points from 6 three-pointers, and the men's basketball team won again.

In this way, after Anxi returned to the team, the men's basketball team won 4 consecutive friendly matches, and after four games, the friendly match schedule was all over, and the men's basketball team left for London.

The grouping of the men's basketball game for the London Olympics has also come out, and the grouping of the men's basketball team is not optimistic, they were divided into Group B, and the group opponents are Spain, Australia, Brazil, the host United Kingdom, Russia and China, the six teams are not weak, the strength is very average, and Spain may be slightly stronger.

In contrast, Group A is a bit weaker, with a wide gap in quality, with basketball giants like the United States, weaker teams like Turf Niss and Nigeria coming out of the qualifiers, and mid-strength teams like France, Lithuania and Argentina.

The rules of the group stage of the Olympic Games are to win one to get two points, lose one to get 1 point, abstain zero points, and the top four in each group advance, so this group, if nothing else, Group A, if nothing else, is the United States, France, Lithuania, Argentina to advance, and Group B is different, Spain's promotion should be no problem, and the remaining 5 teams have to compete for the last promotion spot.

The situation is far from being as rosy as imagined. (To be continued.) )
