What Popovich said in an interview, Anxi naturally knew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He is also a little entangled now, the role of the substitute, just watching the last game, is indeed very suitable for himself, in the bench lineup, Anxi can get more offensive opportunities, and even includes some opportunities to play alone.

However, who wouldn't want to be a starter? After all, the substitute is still a substitute, and with Anxi's current strength, put it into the other 29 teams, it is completely the strength of the starter.

However, in the Spurs, there is a teammate of the same attribute in the team, and Anxi is a little unused, after all, there are only so many opportunities, Anxi and Leonard are completely conflicted, and the opportunity can only be given to Leonard, who looks more powerful in the future.

At the beginning of the new season, Anxi didn't have too many ideas, since Popovich let himself play as a substitute, then Anxi would play well, and the difference between the starting and substitute would not be too big, as long as the playing time was not reduced, for example, in the last game, although Anxi was a substitute, he also played about 35 minutes, and the playing time was equivalent to the starter.

As for leaving the team to seek better opportunities or something, An Xi really didn't think about it, he felt that now he could get more opportunities at the Spurs, why should he leave the team?

So, the matter of Anxi becoming a substitute was thus determined, Anxi did not rebel, of course he would not rebel, and Popovich naturally would not change his platoon.

In the battle with the Clippers, Anxi scored 32 points, creating a new high in personal scoring, plus 24 points in the last game against the Pacers, Anxi scored high scores in two consecutive games, played 5 games in the new season, the Spurs won all five games, Anxi scored all five games in double figures, and averaged 20.2 points per game, which even ranked in the top 15 in the league.

China even began to faintly tout Anxi, and some reporters even shouted the slogan "Vote this year to let Anxi rush into the all-star".

However, in the next few games, Anxi began to decline slowly, slowly.

In the sixth game of the season, the Spurs played the Kings away, and after leading by 8 points at halftime, the Kings suddenly made a force in the second half and almost pulled back the score. However, in the fourth quarter, the spurs still controlled the score, and the game ended at full-time, and the Spurs won the game 97-96.

Anxi played 33 minutes in the game, shot 5 of 13, and was not in good shape, and finally only scored 12 points, plus 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 3 steals.

In the seventh game, the Spurs continued their road trip, and they unexpectedly lost to the Trail Blazers in this game, with No. 6 pick Damian Lillard scoring 29 points and 7 assists in the game, plus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum's 20 plus, the Trail Blazers upset and defeated the Spurs, who have won six in a row.

The Spurs also suffered their first loss of the season, but Anxi's performance was relatively stable, playing 28 minutes off the bench, scoring 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists on 5-of-8 shooting, and 2 steals.

After seven games, Anxi's average data per game has declined to a certain extent, with an average of 18.6 points per game, but the average of 3.2 steals per game currently ranks first in the league.

In terms of team record, the Spurs are 6-1 and temporarily ranked first in the West, the Thunder, who are second in the West, are currently 5-5 and 2 in 7 games, and the Heat are also 5-2 in the East.

At the beginning of the new season, the Spurs once again sat on the top spot in the league, and it seems that the Spurs' regular season has been quite strong, according to ESPN special columnist Bill Simmons, the Spurs' regular season has always been so solid, thanks to Greg Popovich's deployment.

In the eighth game of the season, the Spurs once again ushered in a championship favorite level opponent - the Lakers, but the Lakers' recent situation is bad, with a record of only 3 wins and 4 losses in 7 games, Dwight Howard has become a sick beast, Pau Gasol is extremely unsuitable for Howard's partner, and Nash, who has played a few games, has been injured, and it is not possible to leave the Sun God Doctor.

Only Kobe Bryant's performance is normal, but in recent games, Kobe Bryant has also been sprayed with blood, and sports illustrated experts believe that the reason why the Lakers lost four of the first seven games is that Kobe Bryant does not pass;

Henry Abbott, a well-known ESPN expert on Cohei, said: "The Big Four lost four of their first seven games? People always like to say that LeBron James abolished teammates, that LeBron James abolished Chris Bosh, but this is not the case with Kobe, this season, Steve Nash and Dwight Howard were both abolished by Kobe!"

"Conclusion: The Lakers' poor record is caused by Kobe's refusal to pass!"

The criticism and abuse of the media made Kobe furious, so on November 13, 2012, the Lakers played the Spurs at home, and at the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant entered the passing mode.

Bryant passed the ball to Dwight Howard on the inside, and Howard's layup was ......

Kobe Bryant passed, Ci Shiping on the outside received the ball, and missed the three-point ......

Kobe Bryant passed, and the mid-distance Paul Gasol finally hit the shot!

But at this time, the Spurs had already opened a wave of offense 10:2 and led the Lakers by 8 points.

Kobe Bryant didn't care either, and continued to pass the ball, this time Kobe Bryant broke through and created a gap on the inside, and Howard on the inside received a pass from Anxi again, and finally scored 2 points for a dunk.

But the Spurs have widened the margin and the Lakers started the game behind and were in disarray in the face of the Spurs' offense.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, the Spurs and Lakers were tied at 18:12, at which time Kobe Bryant only scored 2 points but had 4 assists.

Regarding Kobe's new style of play, Henry Abbott, who was sitting in the press box on the sidelines, was quite unimpressed: "He passed the ball, but what is the difference between not passing the ball before?"

Indeed, the ball is still in Kobe's hands, the difference is that Kobe no longer finishes the offense by himself, but passes to his teammates to end the offense, and the deficit in the first quarter also proves that Kobe's style of play is indeed not effective.

Soon, the first official timeout of the first quarter, Anxi was sent on by Popovich to replace Leonard and stand in the small forward position, and his opponent was Antoine Jamison, who had just come out.

Jamison joined the Lakers after the Lakers formed the Big Four to hug the thighs, but what he didn't expect was that the Lakers had 4 thighs, but the size and shape were different, which led to a mess of the team's offense and defense, and now he has to do his thighs at that time.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Anxi got a chance, he got a shot in the bottom corner, Antoine Jamison's defense was not as good as that, but Anxi's three-point shot was actually iron, and even Anxi himself didn't expect it. (To be continued.) )
