Chapter 227: Battle Lynx (2/10, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
To be honest, An Xi is still a little dissatisfied with his current status in the team. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Kowai Leonard is the future of the team, but because of Leonard, he was forced to come to the bench, although An Xi didn't say it, he must still have a pimple in his heart. No one wants to be a substitute, including Anxi.
On December 9, 2012, the Spurs embarked on an away journey, flying to Charlotte.
Towards the middle of December, goose feather snow fell in the eastern United States, and when the Spurs' plane landed, Charlotte was covered in snow. The weather was cold, and the Spurs were not in high spirits, so they wrapped themselves in thick down jackets and went to the hotel.
Fortunately, the opponent in this game is not strong, the Bobcats have been in a rebuilding period in recent seasons, last season selected Kemba Walker and Biyombo Spleen, and this season selected Michael Gilchrist, the quality of the draft is average, and the only star player in the squad should be Kemba Walker.
Like Anxi, Kemba Walker has improved a little this season, from averaging 12.1 points and 4.4 assists per game last season to averaging 17.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game in the first 18 games of the season.
It's that this season's leader McGee has not performed as expected, maybe the defense is good, but Michael Jordan doesn't want a defensive player, he wants McGee to be another Michael like his name.
The game was held at the Time Warner Center, and Anxi, who had just rejected a contract extension for the Spurs, was still on the bench, and there were no changes to the Spurs' starting five.
The Hornets started point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Gerard Henderson, small forward Michael Gilchrist, power forward Smeymbo and center Byron Mulens.
"The game is on, damn it, I'm late. On the sidelines of Time Warner Arena, a middle-aged white man with messy hair rushed into the arena, then found his place and sat down.
Looking up at the center of the field, the middle-aged white man breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew, it's okay, that guy hasn't played yet." ”
The game has begun, the Spurs easily suppressed the Bobcats at the beginning, Boss Joe sat on the sidelines, watching the game happily, although the team gradually fell behind, but at least the Bobcats still showed his future and hope, no, Kemba Walker faced Parker, didn't he play a good individual offense?
In the first quarter of the game, neither side had the intention of shouting a timeout, and it was played until the eighth minute of the first quarter, when the game entered the official timeout, Popovich waved his hand, and Anxi and Manu played together.
The eyes of the mysterious middle-aged white man on the sidelines lit up: "Ah, it's out." Then I looked more seriously.
Anxi came on, and the Bobcats also made substitutions, with Jeffrey Taylor replacing Gerrard Henderson and Blanton Haywood replacing Byron Mulens, returning from a timeout and restarting the game.
Anxi faced Mikiji, and his defensive task was not heavy in this game, so Anxi appeared a lot more frequently on the offensive end.
The first wave of offensive possession on the court belonged to the Spurs, and Tony Parker brought the ball to the front court, and then began to break through.
When he found out that the player he was defending was actually Anxi, McGee had the same opinion as Anxi - his defensive task is not heavy, but McGee's next thoughts are different from Anxi, McGee's offensive means are lacking, and it is difficult to participate in the Bobcat's offense, so his idea became, he wanted to make up for the defense more......
Anxi went around to the three-point line near the sideline, with Parker on his side.
Tony Parker and Boris Dio came to a cross-cover cooperation, and then cut into the inside, and for a while, the Bobcats' inside lineman flipped on his back, and McKiji threw Anxi and rushed over to make up for the defense.
Anxi was empty all of a sudden, and Anxi himself was stunned, this time he didn't even have to run by himself, and a vacant seat naturally came out.
McGee underestimated the Spurs' ball, and the moment he just left Anxi, Parker's ball handler shook suddenly, and the basketball flew to Anxi's side.
Anxi stretched out his hand to take the basketball, McKiji was already two or three steps away from Anxi, and by the time he returned to the defense in shock, Anxi had already risen into the air......
"Anxi's three!" shouted ESPN commentator Mike Brin on the sidelines.
"Whew!" McKiggie was too late to defend Anxi, and by the time he quickly took a few steps back to Anxi, the basketball had already plunged into the net, making a crisp sound of entering the net.
On the sidelines, the middle-aged white man laughed, then took out a pen and paper and made a note: "The three points are indeed accurate." ”
The game continued, with Anxi's defense, McGee, who had no offensive means, completely played soy sauce, and could only stand aside and watch his teammates attack, but fortunately, Anxi was also afraid that McKiggie would cut into the inner line, so he always kept moving an inch.
Kemba Walker's single, he passed Tony Parker, cut inside, but the layup was interfered with by Duncan, the basketball did not go in, Duncan turned around and picked up the rebound.
The Spurs slowly attacked the frontcourt, and the game was already in the hands of the Spurs.
Anxi's off-ball run, bypassing Dior, throwing off McGee, directly receiving Parker's pass, and in the second offensive round after coming on the court, Anxi got a golden opportunity again through his own running.
In the mid-range position, one step away from the free throw line, An Xi jumped up and threw the basketball in an extremely standard position.
Lately, McGee watched the basketball get into the hoop again......
Anxi scored 5 points alone in the opening game.
The middle-aged white man on the sidelines was eye-catching again: "It's good to be off the ball, and the mid-range shot has improved a lot." ”
Michael Jordan was still talking to his friends on the sidelines, although the game had entered the rhythm of the Spurs, but Michael Jordan didn't care about the team's backwardness, and he didn't want to win this game.
As the game continued, Kemba Walker finally got back on his feet, breaking through Parker's defense with the help of a pick-and-roll, and a direct jumper after a pick-and-roll, helping the Bobcats pull back two points.
Michael Jordan cheered on the sidelines, just a goal, listening to the cheers on the sidelines, the Spurs didn't care, and they quickly organized the next wave of offense......
It was still Anxi, a reverse run to shake off McGee, and received Parker's pass, and McKiggie pounced in an instant.
Anxi held the ball and was about to throw, shook off McGee, and then directly made a jump shot on the spot, and the basketball hit the basket accurately!
Swish!
"It's in again! It's still Anxi! Scored 7 points in a row! Michael Gilchrist can't stop him!"
Mike Brin shouted as the middle-aged white man on the sidelines continued to record: "The shot is accurate, the hand is soft, and the offensive end is thoughtful." (To be continued.) )
