The Spurs returned from Sacramento, and Popovich finally approved Anxi's return to practice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the next two games, the opponents were both Jazz, one home and one away, at this time, Jeff Hornacek also said goodbye to Anxi, and he was ready to return to Utah with the Jazz when he was ready to play the next game.

This time he came to San Antonio to give Anxi special training, Jeff Hornacek came on a long vacation, he did not quit his job at the Jazz, and he was not ready to quit his job at the Jazz.

On the morning of the game with the Jazz, Anxi went out for a morning run with Jeff Hornacek, in recent days, Jeff Hornacek has lightened Anxi's training volume, and the off-ball training is nearing the end, and Anxi also knows that Jeff Hornacek will go back to Utah tonight, because Mrs. Hornacek began to pack her luggage early in the morning.

"Ann, I'll go back to Utah today, this third stage of off-ball training, you can't stop, but the amount of training must also be controlled, it was my mistake before, I didn't think that you could afford such a large amount of training. Jeff Hornacek ran while explaining to Anxi the rest of the no-ball training after he left. "Oh, by the way, there is also mid-pitch training, don't stop that training, the training volume is not large, don't reduce it, you can add one to it appropriately. ”

An Xi nodded: "Got it." ”

If you want to say that Jeff Hornacek is leaving, he should be happy, but he can't be happy, it's really strange, think about it, this time of getting along has made him have a family relationship with Jeff Hornacek, right?

"Also, do you have any plans for the offseason?"

"Offseason?" Anxi replied after a moment's thought. "I have to go to London in August to play the Olympics and then there will probably be a couple of friendlies for the national team in July. ”

"The national team's game, well, then, in June and July, you clear half a month to follow us to Arkansas for a vacation. ”

"Oh, good. Anxi agreed, but he reacted immediately. "Uncle Jeff, why did you go to Arkansas?"

"For no reason, there's an old friend's farm there, and every year our family goes there for a while. ”

An Xi nodded, take him out to play, he will definitely not object, what does this mean? This means that Jeff Hornacek has regarded An Xi as a family.

The game with the Jazz in the evening soon began, Anxi returned from injury, but Popovich did not directly let Anxi start, because in the Spurs, the starting position is not obtained for nothing, it has to be robbed, Anxi missed four games with an injury, no one knows what the state is, at this time, he must start from the bench first.

The Spurs' opponent in this game is the Jazz, and the Spurs have already had a battle with the Jazz before, or at the beginning of the season, Anxi came off the bench in that game and locked up the rampaged Paul Millsap.

When he met the Jazz again in this game, Anxi was no longer the rookie who had just entered the league, and his highlight performance after the All-Star made him more well-known as the outside defensive gate.

Walking at & amp; amp; amp; On the sidelines of the T arena, there were people constantly greeting Anxi, Spurs fans on the sidelines, league staff, reporters from major media, TV commentators, and Jazz players and coaches.

Jeff Hornacek has returned, and he is waving to Anxi from the Jazz's bench.

Anxi trotted over, and Jeff Hornacek patted Anxi on the shoulder: "What?

An Xi nodded: "Well, Greg asked me to substitute first, and if I want to start, I have to grab it myself." ”

"Okay, I'm just asking, so you go warm up first. ”

An Xi nodded again, turned around and continued his warm-up.

On the Jazz side, Anxi also has a lot of friends, Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors are two people who have a good relationship, and the three of them chatted on the sidelines for a while until the game started.

At the beginning of the game, the starting lineup on the Spurs' side was point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Danny Green, small forward Cowhi Leonard, big forward Boris Dio, and center Tim Duncan.

The Jazz's starters are point guard Devin Harris, shooting guard C.J. Myers, small forward Gordon Hayward, power forward Paul Millsap, and center Al Jefferson.

In this game, the Spurs played their main force, and the goal was to use the attack to defeat the Jazz.

The Jazz are currently eighth in the West, and the Spurs' opponent in the first round of the playoffs is likely to be the Jazz, and Popovich will definitely want to win this game.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs played very aggressively, and the fast blocking, cutting and covering made it easy for the Spurs to get a chance to shoot, and a group of outside shooters fired a succession, and the Spurs took the lead easily.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Danny Green hit two three-pointers in a row, and then Kawhi Leonard grabbed offensive rebounds in a row, Tim Duncan also wrapped up defensive rebounds, the Spurs made various shots and three-pointers, Boris Dior brushed three assists in a row, and the Spurs played the Jazz 12:0 at the beginning. Then the Spurs stabilized the rhythm on the court, and the constant cover and running directly dragged down the Jazz's defense.

In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs who were fighting at home showed great power, played the Jazz a 37:22, and directly led by 15 points, you must know that the Jazz is not a weak team, and was beaten by the Spurs by 15 points in the first quarter.

The Spurs' offense was fast-paced, and at the end of the first quarter, everyone on the Jazz side was out of breath, and the Jazz's rookie head coach Dillon Corbyn had nothing to do, so he directly adjusted slightly and replaced a few players with relatively good physical strength.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich praised the performance of the starters in the first quarter, and then asked Anxi to prepare for the game, and in the second quarter, Anxi came out to replace Kawhi Leonard. In addition, Patrick Mills came on to replace Tony Parker, Manuginobili came on to replace Danny Green, and the inside combination remained the same, still Tim Duncan and Boris Dio.

Anxi finally played, he took a deep breath, he missed four games in a row, and returned to this long-lost stadium, Anxi really missed it a little.

At the beginning of the second half, it was the Spurs' offense, Anxi found his place in the frontcourt, and defending Anxi was the Jazz's backup small forward DeMar Carroll, this season was a season for DeMar Carroll, before he was cut by the team in the Grizzlies, Rockets and Nuggets, this time, he seized the opportunity in the Jazz and became the main rotation in the team.

In the face of Carol, Anxi ran back, took a step away from Carroll, Manuginobili controlled the ball, and when he saw Anxi running out of the vacant position, he passed the ball without saying a word.

An Xi, who received the ball, was very excited and returned to the court, he wanted to find his form with a three-point shot.

Three-point shot!

Bang! didn't go in?!!!
