As night falls, Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Spurs and Grizzlies is about to begin. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

More than 20,000 spectators poured into the ATT arena for the match, including many fans who had travelled from far away, including some celebrity fans.

An Xi pushed open the door of the locker room, and soon many people surrounded him.

"Ann, congratulations. ”

"Ann, you're going to have a treat when the game is over!"

An Xi smiled and nodded, it was no problem to treat, said thank you one by one, and then began to prepare for the next game.

Before the game, the staff sent by the league informed Anxi that in the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, the league would announce that he, Anxi, became the most improved player this season, and presented the award at the home court of the Spurs, and the results of the voting have also been released, Anxi got 52 first-place votes, and finally scored 311 points, beating Paul George, who scored 146 points, to become the most improved player this season.

Before the start of the game, the ATT arena set up a simple podium, David Stern also appeared on the sidelines, it is rumored that the old man who has been sitting in the position of NBA chairman for 30 years will retire next year, although he is often booed, but it is really at this juncture of the second generation of retirement, many people think of David Stern, if there is no David Stern, will the NBA still have this grand occasion?

The Spurs players played one after another, and when Anxi played, there was a wild cheer in the ATT arena.

An Xi raised his hands excitedly, he knew very well that at least before this game, he was the protagonist!

After the appearance, the award ceremony officially began, and the cheers grew louder, David Stern walked onto the stage, and the ATT arena was also a rare absence of boos.

David Stern walked onto the stage, and the NBA staff pushed a black cloth covered cart with the trophy for the Most Improved Player award.

Anxi Station is far away, but I still have a rough look, the trophy should be made of crystal, transparent color, and you have to get your hands to see it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, spectators, and NBA fans, today, at the ATT Arena in San Antonio, we are announcing the attribution of an important award, the San Antonio Spurs' Anxi ......."

David Stern started his opening remarks, and when he heard Anxi's name, Parker behind him pushed Anxi, and Anxi walked to the front with a smile.

"Now, I announce that the winner of the Most Improved Player Award for the 2012-2013 season is Anxi, a swingman from the San Antonio Spurs!"

With a bang, the ATT arena exploded, and the cheers were like stormy waves, rushing directly towards the center of the field.

"Anxi, Anxi!" An Xi's call sounded from the sidelines, An Xi smiled and took another step forward, David Stern picked up the trophy, handed it to An Xi, and then shook hands with An Xi.

The moment An Xi lifted the trophy, the cheers that had just weakened suddenly rose again, and the cheers were deafening.

Popovich on the sidelines also kept clapping, looking very happy that Anxi won this trophy.

In CCTV's live broadcast room, Director Zhang and Yu Jia were even more excited, shouting again and again: "Okay! Great! The most improved player is Anxi!"

"The first individual honor for a Chinese player in the NBA! this is a historic moment!" Yu Jia's shout is always so formal.

However, because there was still a game ahead, the award ceremony did not last long, but in China, Anxi won the Most Improved Player Award, which was destined to cause a long discussion.

The game was soon underway, and Anxi returned to the bench for this game, with the Spurs fielding the starting lineup of point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Split.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies is point guard McConley, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Tysha Ann Princes, power forward Zach Randolph, and center Marc Gasol.

Because of the pre-match awards, the Spurs had a good momentum at the beginning of the game.

While the Grizzlies also played their strong defense, the Spurs found offensive opportunities in the gaps, constantly scoring through slow-paced positional offense.

However, the Grizzlies' offense is also surprisingly good, constantly scoring through Marc Gasol's sports in the high post, or individual singles, turning jumpers, or high post responses, assisting teammates to score.

Five minutes into the game were played, the Spurs and Grizzlies were tied at 16, and Popovich called the first timeout.

Popovich rarely called a timeout first, and in the past, Popovich waited for someone else to call a timeout, because the Spurs' game has always been stable, either the opening lead or the opening equal, in this case Popovich will wait for the opponent to call the first timeout.

However, Popovich's performance in this game was abnormal, Mike Budenholzer knew the reason, Popovich just wanted to make adjustments one step earlier, in the playoffs, every game is crucial, even every minute and every second is crucial.

After a pause, Popovich directly held the tactical board and began to adjust.

"Now the Memphis tactics are very simple, use Marc Gasol's interior protection to lock our cut, so then we make adjustments, Ann, you will play later, replace Thiago, we will change to a four-small lineup, play the speed of the offensive end, and use the fast advance attack to break down the Memphis positional defense!"

An Xi nodded, and finally wanted to replace him, in this game, Anxi was the protagonist before the game, and in the game, he also wanted to be the protagonist, but he couldn't be the protagonist if he didn't play all the time, so Anxi was waiting for Popovich to replace.

Playing in the No. 4 position, no problem, because Popovich didn't give Anxi defensive tasks, which means Anxi can put most of his energy into attacking.

Of course, the defense of Anxi will not be released, since the coach let him play the No. 4 position, then next, he will let Zachrandolph know what is the real defense.

On the first ball of the pitch, Tony Parker took the ball across the halfcourt.

The battle between the Spurs and the Grizzlies is considered by the outside world to be a few highlights, including the matchup between Tony Parker and McConley, an old and a young star point guard, this group of matchups should be very exciting.

As soon as Parker got the ball, Anxi roared out of the backcourt.

Zach Randolph hurried to follow, but his speed couldn't keep up with Anxi at all, so Prince saw this and hurried up to make up for it.

At this time, the players on both sides had just entered the halfcourt and had not yet fully settled into position, Anxi continued to take advantage of the speed advantage, and took two big strides to shake off Tysa Amprus, cross the free throw line, and go around the right side of the court to the left.

Parker saw Anxi shake off the defender and knew that the opportunity had come, and the old and spicy Parker immediately chose to pass.

Anxi didn't have Grizzly defenders on the left and right, so he played the Grizzlies with a time difference, and after receiving the ball, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly chose the jump shot.

With a bang, an arrow pierced the heart, and An Xi hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court! )
