Chapter 54: Back-to-back
Speaking of back-to-back, Anxi really feels the horror of the shrinking season, and now the Spurs are almost two games in two days, then one day off, and two games in two days, and continue to play at this pace all the time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
No, after playing the Heat and Rockets back-to-back, they had a day off, and on the afternoon of the 23rd, they were going to New Orleans to start another back-to-back schedule.
As Bruce Bowen said, the game against the Hornets can be skipped, and it is, the Spurs only played half the game in New Orleans, and Anxi only played five minutes in the second quarter before the game was over.
In 5 minutes of playing time, Anxi failed to get any good data, made a three-pointer, plus a steal and a block, and ushered in another wave of decline in average data per game.
And in the interval between the end of this game, Anxi completed the entry of Sina Weibo, it is very simple to register an account, the ID registered by Anxi is called "Anxi who plays basketball", Sina added V, the note is an NBA star, Anxi feels a little embarrassed, what is he a NBA star now. Because Sina has done some publicity, in a short period of time, the number of fans in Anxi has exceeded 30,000.
More than 30,000, when the domestic social networking site was just beginning, Anxi was already a big V on the Internet, he thought about it and posted a Weibo first: Hello everyone, I am Anxi who plays basketball, and now I am on my way to Atlanta, and next, I will play in the game between the Spurs and the Hawks......
A Weibo post is decent, but in the blink of an eye, there are thousands of comments and tens of thousands of likes, and of course, nearly a thousand retweets, but Anxi's popularity has been revealed.
In contrast, Anxi's American social software is not so popular, Facebook only has more than 3,000 followers, and Twitter is a little more, close to 5,000, so at present, Anxi is just a small minion in the NBA, and there are only a handful of people in the United States who know Anxi, and even fewer have become fans of Anxi.
Coming to Atlanta and facing the Hawks, the goal of the Spurs, who were rested in the last game, is to win one more win, but this season's Hawks are not easy to mess with, Jeff Teague's progress, plus Hawks king Joe Johnson and new Hawks king Josh Smith, the strength of the Hawks can be ranked in the top five in the East.
In this game, the Spurs still did some rotational rest, point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward DeJuan Blair and center Tim Duncan, after a few games, Anxi started again.
The city of Atlanta used to be the favorite home of many NBA stars, not because of the perennial weakness of the Hawks, nor because of the poor atmosphere at the Hawks' home court, but because of one name - Gold Club.
The Gold Club used to be the largest gold hole in the United States, the largest striptease club in the United States, and countless American celebrities were guests of this club, including Bill Gates, Patrick Ewing, and Michael Jordan, but as early as 2001, the FBI investigation revealed its true face to the club, and it was closed overnight.
Therefore, when the away team came to Atlanta to play, the gold club could only become a talking point in their mouths, this time, Anxi listened to several living treasures in the team boast about the gold club, and Anxi listened with wide eyes and curiosity.
The game started at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, and Anxi stood on the halfway line, and the game was about to jump.
The two sides of the jump ball were Tim Duncan and Zazapatchuria, because the main center Alhorford was reimbursed for the season, Zazapachulia was mentioned as a starter, he and Tim Duncan jumped the ball, but Duncan won a rare win, and the Spurs won the ball.
The game officially began, the Spurs' offense, Tony Parker firmly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Anxi ran to the free throw line and landed, turned around to get in a good position, Tony Parker's pass arrived, this is another evolution of the Spurs' blocking tactics, using Anxi's good strength to make a response in the high position.
Anxi took the ball with his back near the free throw line, Kowhi Leonard ran out quickly, Anxi handed the ball out, and then ran back, pulling out an open opportunity, Kowhi Leonard's return pass also arrived, Anxi made an unfamiliar mid-range shot on the spot, the basketball jumped twice on the basket, and finally fell into the basket.
entered, Anxi's new ability helped him score two points first, this mid-range shot was the first time he showed it in an official game, Popovich's eyes on the sidelines lit up, he really saw Anxi's progress, from the beginning of the season only shot three points, dribbling, to the later dribbling skillful, three-point accuracy, and now it seems that he has practiced the mid-range shot again, although it is still a little lame......
The Spurs scored two points first, followed by the Hawks' offense.
In 2012, the Hawks have not yet become the Trumpets of the Spurs, Mike Budenholzer is still a member of the Spurs assistant coach, the Hawks at this time do not have a systematic offensive tactics, the current head coach Larry Drew's offensive and defensive adjustment is very average, Larry Drew's strength lies in on-the-spot command and adjustment, so what is really good in this game is the confrontation between the two coaches on the sidelines, and the strength of the Spurs on the field should be able to complete the suppression of the Hawks.
The Eagles' offense, the fast-paced Jeff Teague quickly held the ball to the frontcourt, and Larry Deru's offensive tactics emphasized the interior offense, so Duncan was in the center position in this game, which was a change of formation for the Spurs.
It didn't take long for Jeff Tig to give the ball to Joe Johnson, although his form is declining very quickly, but now Joe Johnson is still the king of the Hawks, he is still the boss of the Eagles, and the ball will be handed over to him when other players really can't find any opportunities.
Anxi played the position of scoring guard in this game, so Anxi faced Joe Johnson at the beginning.
Two days ago, Anxi and Bruce Bowen simulated defending Joe Johnson, and Anxi knew very well that when Joe Johnson got the ball on the outside, he couldn't stick too close or too far, so Anxi took a step away and stretched out his right hand in front of Joe Johnson's face.
Joe Johnson didn't look at An Xi, one crotch, picked up a back dribble, shook An Xi a step, and was about to rush into the inside......
An Xi hurriedly made up for it and wrapped up Joe Johnson, Joe Johnson took a few more steps and was forced to stop, but where was this scoring guard who had been immersed in the offensive way for ten years so easy to be guarded?
Within a second of stopping, Joe Johnson used a set of coherent movements, turned sideways around An Xi, leaned forward, threw the ball with his right hand, and hit it successfully!
Joe Johnson used his vast experience to beat the defense of Ann Creek!
An Xi was helpless, he had obviously tried his best for this ball, but Joe Johnson's movements were too fast and too coherent, and he shot without reacting, and Anxi couldn't interfere yet, because the throw was done behind Anxi, and he didn't see how Joe Johnson threw it.
