The news of Anxi's signing with the Spurs spread to China within minutes, and the fastest-moving Tiger Pounce Sports even released a short and concise news the moment Anxi appeared in the Spurs training gym:

Chinese player Anxi officially signed with the Spurs and is holding a press conference in San Antonio.

Anxi signed with the Spurs! This news immediately detonated the domestic fan market, and after Yao Ming, the NBA is still indispensable to the Chinese!

Countless fans swiped the news of Anxi's signing of the Spurs on Weibo, and the news of Anxi's signing of the Spurs immediately became the first place on the Weibo real-time hot search list. In addition to www.biquge.info on Weibo, there is also a post bar, which quickly flooded with a large number of new fans.

In addition to the excitement of these fans, there was another speech on Weibo that made An Xi laugh.

Duan Ran, a well-known CCTV reporter, posted on Weibo to angrily denounce the unprofessionalism of the Basketball Herald, saying that if it weren't for the Basketball Herald's pursuit of the wind and saying that Anxi would be traded to the Rockets by the Spurs, it would be impossible for so many Chinese reporters to be kept in the dark in Houston! They will not miss the big news that Anxi signed the Spurs, and the loss caused by this Basketball Herald should be borne!

In this way, Duan Ran took the lead in firing the cannon, and the war of domestic media began.

……

San Antonio, Anxi has found a home in this small Texas city, a bachelor apartment just 10 minutes away from the training gym, where Anxi will live alone.

Anxi lives on the 19th floor of this apartment, and after a simple tidying up, Anxi went out.

When she first came to San Antonio, Anxi was very curious about everything around her, and there was also a family on the opposite side of the apartment, but Anxi had never seen anyone go in or out of there until now, and the pink decoration on the door of the apartment made Anxi feel that the person living in it must be a girl.

After boring speculation, Anxi ran up San Antonio Street, and in the afternoon it was the opening of the Spurs' preseason training camp, and on the first day, head coach Popovich would tell the newcomers some rules in the Spurs, so Anxi couldn't be late.

Arrived at the Spurs training hall, there were already Spurs players in the training hall preparing for training.

A staff member of the Spurs took Anxi to a locker closet, told him that this was Anxi's location, that there was Anxi's training uniform inside, and then left.

An Xi opened the cabinet, and sure enough, he saw his No. 7 training clothes, took off his coat, and An Xi changed into his training clothes, and then had time to look around.

The locker room in the training hall is very large, the direct distance between the cabinets and the cabinets has reached 1 meter, Anxi's cabinet is about the northwest corner of the locker room, on the left is also last year's rookie Gary Neil, and on the right is the team's old bird Richard Jefferson.

And Tim Duncan's cabinet is three separate from Anxi, and Tony Parker and Manuginobili are even farther away.

The three rookies of this year were evenly split among the crowd, with Kawhi Leonard leaning on Tim Duncan and Cory Joseph leaning on Tony Parker, perhaps this distribution of positions also represents a kind of team culture, right?

Soon, all the players changed into training clothes, and head coach Gregg Popovich finally appeared, and in the locker room, Greg Popovich stood in the middle of the crowd and began the pre-season training.

"Okay friends, we're meeting again, you've had a long offseason, probably the longest offseason in NBA history, and I think you've had enough." Greg Popovich clapped his hands and continued: "The new season is about to begin, I don't know if you have maintained your fitness in the offseason, and I can only judge you by visual inspection until you have been tested. ”

"Like, Tim, you seem to be taller again, can you tell me which height booster you use?" Greg Popovich made a joke, the locker room burst into laughter, and Tim Duncan smiled shyly.

"And Manu, you've got less hair, did you mess with Tim in the offseason? Tony, I heard you will play a few professional league games in France, is it Ligue 1? Are you going to switch to football? Greg Popovich made jokes about those veterans, and the atmosphere in the Spurs team was confirmed by Anxi from this moment - well, it's really good!

Then, Greg Popovich finally mentioned a few new signings, and this season, the Spurs did not make many signings, except for the three rookies signed, only the veteran point guard TJ Ford was signed in the free market.

"Then we also have a few newcomers this year, come on, introduce yourself, don't be nervous, just start with you, China An!" Popovich was the first to order Anxi.

An Xi was stunned for a moment, then stood up, scratched his head and said: "Hello everyone, I am An Xi, from China, I used to be a player at the University of Connecticut, and I mainly play two positions on the court: scoring guard and small forward, you can call me An." ”

Anxi's self-introduction was very bland, and his teammates clapped their hands, which was considered a welcome.

Then, Kowhi Leonard, Cory Joseph, and T.J. Ford introduced themselves.

Once everyone had introduced themselves, Popovich began to emphasize the team's discipline.

Spurs are a very disciplined team, which includes the requirements that teammates should not quarrel with each other, and that team training games should not be too large, all for the sake of team harmony.

After the preseason reprimand, Popovich organized the team's coaching staff to give all the players physical tests to see how well each player was in physical condition during the offseason.

In this regard, Anxi is naturally fine, 5 days ago, he just fought against JR Smith.

However, Anxi has no problem does not mean that the other teammates in the team have no problems, the team's new recruit TJ Ford has been injured, and the worst one, DeJuan Blair, Anxi heard Popovich's roar from a distance: "De Juan!" What the hell did you do to make it 15 kilograms heavier in one summer! Don't you want to play yet! ”

Yes, Dejuan Blair weighed another 15 kilograms, this big fat man who had been worried about his weight was miserable now, Popovich added weight to Blair with a cold face, and then in the afternoon, the team began to warm up the training.

After the training, everyone walked into the locker room sweating profusely, and An Xi was just about to sit down in his seat when he heard Richard Jefferson call his name: "Ann, go, help me bring the ice." ”

An Xi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, immediately got up, took a few ice cubes for Richard Jefferson, and brought a little bit to himself by the way, he had a little bruise on his leg left by playing CBA before, and he wanted to use ice cubes to cool down.

As for Richard Jefferson asking himself to help get the ice, An Xi also understood what was going on, it was the privilege of veteran players and the only way for rookie players.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that Anxi knows that Adu Durant was even forced to carry a schoolbag for a primary school student in the rookie season, so he got the nickname of a schoolbag Du; and Carlos Boozer, who was still on the Jazz team at the time, once filled a rookie's car with popcorn and so on.

It can be said that rookie players enter the NBA, and the first level to pass is the rectification of old bird players.
