After playing the game with the Rockets, An Xi learned that he was actually involved in the transaction. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Back in San Antonio, Anxi was still a little surprised, but for the trade, he didn't say no, but the outcome of the deal was not him, but how the Spurs' management would choose.
Popovich was in a good mood with three wins in a row, and he walked into his office humming a ditty, where the Spurs players were working on a training day downstairs and Buford was waiting early.
"How's it going, Robert?" asked Popovich as he entered.
"That's pretty much it, the Bobcats are willing to make an offer of Byron Mulens, Gerrard Henderson plus a future first-round pick, hoping to get Gary and Ann, but with lotto protection, which can be deferred to the following year's first-round pick, and the next year will lose the lotto protection. ā
Popovich's eyes lit up, and the Bobcats' trade offer was already generous enough.
"Downey's offer is also very good, with an offer of Chris Kaman, Brandon White and a second-round pick from the Lakers and a first-round pick of their own, hoping to get Anxi and DeJuan. ā
Popovich shook his head with a smile, and then put away his smile all of a sudden: "Okay, Robert, let's say no to all." ā
"Refusal?" Buford breathed a sigh of relief, originally he thought that Popovich was ready to trade Anxi, but now he actually refused?
Popovich seemed to see Buford's confusion: "Yes, refusal, Robert, I've thought about it, Anxi is still playing a big role in the team at the moment, he is the first scorer on the bench, and he is currently second only to Tony in points per game, and he has a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end, such as playing on the court and the Rockets, he defended James Harden, so I think I am not ready to trade Anxi for this season's championship." ā
There was a lot of trouble, although Anxi refused to renew his contract, he was still left by Popovich, and Buford was also helpless, he knew that in the Spurs, everything had to be focused on the current results.
The dust settled on Anxi's transfer, and it couldn't be done, but Anxi didn't get the news until a few days later, after the Spurs won five straight games against the Jazz at home and then the Trail Blazers on the road, the Spurs and Mavericks announced the first trade of the season, and the Spurs traded DeJuan Blair from the Mavericks for a second-round draft pick from the Lakers.
DeJuan Blair was sent away like this, for the Spurs, this is also a helpless thing, De Juan Blair originally lost his main position, this season DeJuan Blair's data state is not good, plus the previous clubbing incident, it is already very good to finally be able to exchange for a second-round pick.
And the Gary Neil trade has been looking for, Gary Neil has performed well in his first season with the Spurs, but since last season, because of the appearance of Anxi, Gary Neire has not played much, resulting in his performance not so good, at most showing some shooting ability outside the three-point line, which has attracted the attention of some teams.
On December 15, 2012, after the Spurs lost to the Celtics, the trade for Garinier was finalized, and the Spurs announced that they were sending Gariniel to Toronto to receive two future second-round picks from the Raptors.
As a result, the Spurs were given only three second-round picks, but the good news is that the team has two more spots available for the next move.
It's getting closer and closer to Christmas, after losing to the Celtics in the last game, the Spurs suddenly entered the losing mode, back to the West, in Oklahoma City, the Spurs actually lost to the Thunder again, and the new season is a two-game losing streak, but there is nothing to say about losing the Thunder, this is a back-to-back schedule, Popovich chose to rotate in order to save the physical strength of the main force, Anxi did not play in this game, the Spurs are the absolute substitute to play the main force, the starting main force to play the bench, and finally finished this game.
There are three games left before Christmas, and the Spurs have no games scheduled for Christmas.
So on December 18, the Spurs played their last road game, they narrowly defeated the Nuggets 101-100, 1 point in Denver, and finally returned to San Antonio, and Popovich directly gave the players a vacation.
Because Christmas is not far away, Anxi takes Abby to go shopping as soon as she gets home and prepares ingredients for Christmas.
Walking around the supermarket, there are a lot of things piled up in the shopping cart, a turkey, a steak, two candles, a bottle of red wine, in fact, Anxi said that he didn't want to buy red wine, what good red wine can be in the supermarket, Anxi thinks that if you really want to buy red wine, you have to go to Bobo, Bobo's winery has a lot of good red wine, but Anxi can't bear Abby's request, Abby said to buy it in the supermarket, Anxi has to buy it in the supermarket.
After buying a bunch of things, Anxi was ready to leave, but when she left, she passed by the pet store in the supermarket, and Abby couldn't move for a while.
"Ann, why don't we buy this puppy back? It's so cute!" Abby stared at a husky puppy, then took An Xi's hand and began to be petty.
Anxi was speechless, can a husky be called cute? Obviously it's two! Especially this husky, with a circle of white hair in the middle of his face, and the hairs around him are actually burgundy, and he looks even more two!
However, for Abby's request, Anxi still agreed, buying a husky is not a big deal, Anxi does not hate dogs, on the contrary, he himself likes dogs very much.
But as soon as Anxi nodded here, Abby ran to the side again, taking a fancy to a Garfield, well, keep buying, Anxi is still rich now, so he is not afraid to spend this money.
So when he went home, Anxi had an extra husky and a Garfield in his car.
"Ann, what do you say we're going to name them?"
Anxi's bad taste came, he heard that there was once a fan's dog in New Orleans called CP4, which refers to the 4-legged Paul, Anxi looked at this cat and dog, and had an idea.
"The husky is called Teemo, and Garfield is called Tony, and we'll buy a rabbit and call him Manu after a while. An Xi laughed out loud as he spoke.
Abby on the side also laughed, but she asked with some confusion: "Ann, Tony is Tony Parker, Manu is Manu Ginobili, who is Natimo?"
Some people say that Teemo is the swift scout Temo in League of Legends, but in fact it is not, the Teemo that Anxi said is Duncan, and Tim Duncan's full name is Timothy-Theodore-Duncan, so Duncan's nickname is Timothy-Theodore-Duncan......
"Teemo, Teemo is Duncan. ā
There is only one rabbit left in Anxi's animal GDP, and there may be some turtles, goldfish or something in the future, and life will be a lot more fun. (To be continued.) )
