September 15, 2012, the opening day of the Spurs' pre-season training camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

An Xi packed his things and drove to the Spurs training gym.

drove into the underground parking lot, and when Anxi opened the door, he was surrounded by several reporters.

An Xi looked at the situation in the underground parking lot in surprise, it seems that there are a lot of reporters here, why did this doorman let the reporters in?

An Xi didn't investigate the reason, and several reporters surrounded him and asked some questions about the new season.

"Ann, what are your expectations for the new season?"

"Ann, do you think you're ready for the new season?"

"Ann ,......"

Anxi directly refused to be interviewed, the reason is very simple, he still doesn't know why there are so many reporters in the underground parking lot, what if Popovich doesn't let him be interviewed?

So Anxi directly ignored this group of reporters and went upstairs from the elevator.

"Ann, here we are. It was Boris Dio who was greeting him, drinking coffee from the coffee machine in his cabinet. There were already a few people in the locker room, including Kowhi Leonard, a small facial paralyzed.

"It's coming. Anxi silently put the things away and replied to Boris Dio.

"Would you like a drink? ”

An Xi smiled and nodded.

Boris Dio took out a spare cup and poured a cup for Anxi.

Boris Dior, as a coffee saint, the coffee ground by its coffee machine is still good, and it tastes heavy, fragrant but not bitter, pure but not astringent.

Well, Anxi has suddenly become a gourmet, although his cooking skills are good and he is also a foodie, but this is not the time to taste the taste of coffee.

"Hey, Ann, I'm here!" This time it was Manu who rushed in, he saw Anxi first, patted Anxi, and then looked at Boris Dior: "Wow, Boris, you came so early, and the coffee is all ready." ”

Manuginobili said hello to several people in the locker room, and then sat aside and chatted with Dio and Anxi.

"Boris, where did you go in the summer?" Manuginobili said, at a glance, he knew that after playing the Olympics, he had a lot of fun, and now he came to report to the team, just to show off the rhythm.

"Went to Thailand, what about you?" Boris Dio replied.

Manu shook his head: "I went to India once, and it seems that the two of us are about the same." ”

The two didn't tell a winner, so they looked at An Xi: "An, where did you go to play after the Olympics in the summer?"

An Xi smiled faintly, where to play?

"Here. Anxi pointed to the floor.

"Here?" said Manu and Dio, looking at each other.

"Yes, I've been practicing here for a month. ”

Manu and Dior stopped talking, maybe they were still applauding Anxi in their hearts, and then said: Anxi is so good at pretending!

Popovich quickly walked in, everyone arrived, so it was a routine rookie self-introduction ceremony, the new signings Nando De Colo and Aaron Baines introduced themselves, but these two have introducers in the Spurs team, so everyone is more familiar, and the process passed quickly.

Then Popovich waved his hand, and the pre-season physical test, one of the headaches for many people came.

Anxi's pre-season physical test was fine, after all, he didn't rest all summer, first practicing with Karl Malone in Arkansas, then going to play the Olympics in China, and finally returning to San Antonio to practice with Procopio for a month.

Anxi, who has not rested for a summer, easily passed the pre-season physical test, Popovich looked at Anxi's physical test data, nodded and was very satisfied, but other teammates were not so lucky, several teammates who did not control their diet in the offseason were strengthened by Popovich The training intensity was strengthened, such as DeJuan Blair and Boris Dior, and several teammates strengthened their physical training at the request of Popovich, such as Manu, who had been chattering before.

The pre-season training camp began, and Anxi also made a small improvement in the offseason, developing a back body, and Popovich was also satisfied.

However, after playing an intra-team training game in the afternoon, Kawhi Leonard seems to have improved even more, not only has he also developed his back, but he has also made a lot more accurate three-point shots, and his defense is about to catch up with Anxi.

was abused by Kowai Leonard, and An Xi wanted to get back on the field, but now his progress is a little small, and the system is a little helpless, which makes An Xi very helpless.

After a month of intensive training, the new season is coming.

The new season is no longer a shortened season, with 82 games not bad and the schedule has been announced, but there are still eight or nine preseason games to play before the new season begins.

The Spurs only have eight preseason games, and the hard-headed Popovich also pushed back the league's request that the Spurs go to China to play the China game, so that the Spurs' eight preseason games were all played in China.

The Spurs' first preseason game against the Sacramento Kings seems to be thriving with a young crowd of DeMarcus Cousins, Tyrek Evans, Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Thornton, and Aaron Brooks, Jimmerfredt and Patrick Patterson on the bench.

But in the first game of the preseason, the Kings were beaten by the Spurs, and the Spurs had 7 double-doubles, including Tim Duncan with 22 points and 14 rebounds, directly teaching Cousins to be a man, and the Spurs also won a 25-point victory in the first game of the preseason.

Then, the Spurs began to consciously use the preseason training, and Popovich's various large-scale rotations made every preseason game a small victory for the Spurs.

Two wins over the Kings, two wins over the Mavericks, two wins over the Rockets, the last two games against the Lakers, still two wins of two games, and all eight wins in the preseason, the Spurs' form is red and purple.

However, for the rest of the league, the new season is less optimistic.

On the Lakers' side, in McBrown's second season, the Lakers made a big deal of reinforcements, they sent away Andrew Bynum and a bunch of chips in exchange for Dwight Howard, and then traded a first-round pick from the Suns for Steve Nash, so F4 was officially formed.

Before the start of the preseason, the Lakers were the league's biggest favorites to win the championship, tied with the Heat.

However, after eight games in the preseason, the Lakers ...... Eight defeats in a row......! Everything seems to be not so simple.

McBrown is already scorched, and the Lakers' F4 may have begun to doubt life......

In the 12 years of offseason big trades, in addition to the Lakers forming F4, James Harden was signed by the Thunder and then traded to the Rockets, and the Rockets also snatched Jeremy Lin with a poison contract at the beginning of the season, so that Lin Crazy plus Harden, the Harlem combination was officially formed, and the goal of the Rockets in the new season is obviously the playoffs.

And the Thunder, who sent away Harden, got Kevin Martin, and the young guard 2K Lamb, can Harden's departure be completely made up by these two? This has become the most important question in the new season, but many people believe that without James Harden, the super sixth man with a superstar image, the strength of the Thunder must have declined.
