On April 16, 2012, the Spurs flew to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Spurs arrived in Los Angeles a little earlier, but it's not that they didn't control the time, but they had other arrangements before the game.

After T.J. Ford's shoulder injury surgery, he returned to his home in Los Angeles to recuperate, this time the Spurs came to Los Angeles to play, Popovich wanted to see T.J. Ford, after all, T.J. Ford was originally going to follow the team to the playoffs this season, but he was injured and retired due to injury, which has to be said to be a pity.

Popovich didn't ask all the players to go, and he didn't even mention it in the team, but he was just going to go with the GDP three elders, and after Anxi knew about it, he went with him.

Arriving in Los Angeles, the rest of the Spurs, led by assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, went to Staples Arena to acclimatize to the venue, while Anxi and the three elders of GDP followed Popovich into a nanny car and drove all the way to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

T.J. Ford now lives in an apartment at the foot of Beverly Hills, and Popovich had already contacted T.J. Ford before he arrived, so Anxi and the others rang the doorbell when the door clicked open.

"Mr. Greg, you're here, please come in. ”

It was T.J. Ford's wife who opened the door, and Anxi nodded at her, which was kind of a greeting.

Following Popovich and the others inside, Mrs. Ford began to say, "Terrance can't do much strenuous exercise right now, so he's lying on the couch in the living room waiting for you." ”

Within a few steps, Anxi saw T.J. Ford lying on the sofa, and several people walked up to greet him with a smile.

"Hey Terrance, long time no see, look at you, you're recovering well. ”

T.J. Ford also smiled and said, "Long time no see, several." ”

Seeing Anxi, T.J. Ford smiled and said, "An, I've been playing well lately, keep coming up!"

Anxi nodded, "Well, I will, Terrance." ”

Anxi stood next to the sofa, listening to Popovich chatting with T.J. Ford, Anxi looked around at T.J. Ford's apartment, the apartment is very small, and the decoration of the home is also very simple, although it is located at the foot of Beverly Mountain, but it can't be compared with those mansions on the mountain, but think about it, in terms of T.J. Ford's income over the years, a mansion on Beverly Hills is estimated to be unaffordable.

Thinking of this, Anxi sighed a little emotionally, it seems that professional players are a beautiful and lucrative job, but who knows the hard work behind it? And if you can't become a superstar, the money you earn is also very small, like T.J. Ford, who is also a starter-level player in the league, and when it comes to retirement, he can only afford an apartment like this......

After chatting for a few words, Popovich said goodbye to T.J. Ford, and Anxi waved goodbye to T.J. Ford, who had been helping him.

On the way to Staples, Anxi was a little melancholy, looking at the huge Hollywood sign on the mountain in the distance, Anxi sighed deeply.

Tony Parker laughed out loud, "Ann, what's upset, tell Big Brother about it?"

Manuginobili also joked: "Haha, Tony, don't ask, I think Ann is thinking, why is he an NBA player, not a Hollywood movie star, didn't you look at him and look at the Hollywood logo?"

Anxi rolled his eyes, to be honest, the three elders of GDP are really a little disrespectful, the outside world knows too little about them, and they are all considered to be honest, in fact, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are eloquent at every opportunity, while Tim Duncan is notoriously sullen in the team.

"No, I was thinking, Terrance originally wanted to get a championship ring at the end of his career, but it turned out to be ......" An Xi sighed again and explained.

Popovich, who was in the front row, spoke up at this time: "Ann, who told you that Terrance won't get a championship ring?"

"Can he still get it?"

"Of course, if we win a championship this season, then he can get a championship ring, because he played so many regular season games with us. Popovich explained, An Xi nodded thoughtfully, it turned out that this season, the Spurs won the championship, and Terence could still get the championship ring, so he had to work hard.

Arriving at Staples, the game was about to start, Anxi went to the locker room to change his jersey, and waited for the entrance ceremony to enter.

Popovich has already made pre-match arrangements, and in this game, Anxi continued to be a substitute.

In the locker room, teammates chatted happily, and soon a staff member came to remind them that the game was about to start and the Spurs would enter first.

At the beginning of the entrance ceremony, the DJ on the scene whispered the names of the Spurs players, and Staples burst into a wave of boos.

And when it came time for the Lakers to enter, DJ's voice was also louder, and the scene immediately turned from boos to cheers......

"Let's welcome the All-Star power forward first!" The DJ dragged out the pitch, and the Lakers played one after another, with Pau Gasol being the first to play, followed by Steve Blake, Tzu Shiping, Matt Barnes......

The penultimate appearance was Andrew Bynum, and the last appearance was Kobe Bryant, which caused the audience to stand up and cheer collectively!

"The last one to play is Black Mamba - Kobe Bryant - Bryant - the greatest player of the Lakers!"

Watching Kobe Bryant come out in the cheers of the court, An Xi secretly clenched his fists, others don't know, An Xi himself knows very well, he has been resurrected with full blood, in this game, his goal is to bomb Kobe, however, he still has to wait for the opportunity on the bench.

Of course, in this game, Anxi has another goal, which is to regain the starting position.

The game started quickly, and the starting lineup on the Spurs' side was point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Boris Dior, and center Tim Duncan. On the Lakers' side, starting point guard Ramon Sessions, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Ci Shiping, power forward Pau Gasol, and center Andrew Bynum.

Jump ball, Andrew Bynum won the ball with better bounce, and the Lakers started the first wave of offense.

Ramon Sessions took the ball across half court, and Kobe Bryant stood at a 45-degree angle and opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Kobe Bryant got the ball, Danny Green, who was defending him, was still a little nervous, Kobe Bryant made a three-threat move, followed by a step out, and quickly broke through to the inside.

When he reached the three-point line, the Spurs carried out the pack, and without Anxi, Popovich could only sacrifice the pack-and-clamp tactic.

Kobe Bryant rushed two steps against the defense, and then made an outside pass, Pau Gasol on the inside got the basketball, and beat Boris Dior to win, and at the beginning, the Lakers scored two points first, and Kobe Bryant got an assist.
