Chapter 121: The Yearning for the Best Rookie Team (2/3, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
"Ann, how do you practice your single defense?" For the Spurs' main players, the rest of the regular season is all about training, training, and training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After training, An Xi was lying on the sidelines, looking at the roof of the training hall with his face facing the sky, and Kowai Leonard slowly walked to his side.
An Xi turned his head, glanced at Kowai Leonard in surprise, and then replied, "That's how I practiced." ”
There was still no expression on Kowyleonard's face, and he slowly bent down and sat down.
"No, I mean, do you have any tricks? You're improving so fast. ”
"Tricks?" An Xi frowned, if there is any trick, it must be the jersey system, but that is unspeakable, but if you have to say that there is no trick at all, then it is fake, no matter what, Anxi's single defense is progressing rapidly, there must be some way.
After thinking about it, An Xi said: "Maybe it's a sudden enlightenment, but I still have a little experience." ”
"......" Kawhi Leonard stopped talking.
An Xi smiled: "By the way, Kehuai, I heard that the selection of the best rookie lineup has begun, I don't have a chance, what about you? Do you think you have a good chance?"
The best rookie lineup, if it was placed at the beginning of the season, Anxi still had the idea to rush, but now, no matter what, Anxi has no idea, in this rookie, there are too many outbreaks in the second half, and Anxi has slipped on the offensive end in the second half, so Anxi thinks he has no chance.
With four or five games left in the regular season, Anxi has averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game so far. With the strength of the second half, he averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game this season, and the data is much more brilliant than Anxi.
Facing An Xi's question, Kawhi Leonard moved his lips: "An, actually, you also have a chance, you underestimate the impact of the team's record and defense." ”
"Really?" An Xi thought thoughtfully, if the judges really took into account the impact of the team's record and defense when voting, then An Xi would really have a chance to break into the best rookie team.
But in fact, Anxi has no interest in the name of the best rookie team, mainly because Anxi is interested in money, and if he is selected for the best rookie team, Jordan Sports will give a reward of 500,000 US dollars.
An Xi looked at the speechless Kowhi Leonard, and smiled in his heart, to be honest, Anxi felt from the bottom of his heart that Kowhi Leonard was like a copy of Tim Duncan, compared with himself, Kowhi Leonard was more like a Spurs player, and he, after a period of change, An Xi found that he seemed to have deviated a little from the Spurs' team culture.
What is the Spurs' team culture? low-key, down-to-earth, hard-working, sacrificial...... And now Anxi is a bit low-key and unsteady, and even the spirit of sacrifice is not ......
Kewai Leonard beside him had already stood up, An Xi looked at him, thought about it, and opened his mouth to say: "Kehuai, in fact, you don't need to practice too much to defend this thing, the point is that you have to learn to observe, learn to summarize, and at the same time, when defending, don't be impulsive, everything, all of which are based on blocking the opponent's offensive intentions first." ”
Kowai Leonard turned his head to look at Anxi: "Thank you, Ann." ”
An Xi shrugged his shoulders, in fact, what he just said was the defensive experience he had summarized during this time, learning to observe, referring to learning to observe the opponent's offensive characteristics, and then learning to summarize and summarize the opponent's offensive characteristics.
As for the last point that An Xi said, it is actually aimed at the current Kawhi Leonard, Kowhi Leonard's defense is actually very strong, but there is a shortcoming, that is, he likes to stretch out his hand randomly, it seems that in Kowhi Leonard's dictionary, steals are the only way to defend, of course, this also helped Kowhi Leonard almost lock the honor of this year's steal king.
But stretching out his hand indiscriminately is sometimes not a good habit, he will make the defender lose position in the defense, which will cause the defender to foul and so on, so Anxi feels that if Kowhi Leonard gets rid of this bad habit, then the defense will definitely have a qualitative leap.
In the remaining games at the end of the season, Anxi didn't get much playing time, and in the last few games, Anxi didn't even play.
