At the post-match press conference, there were many reporters, and Craig Sager was still waiting in the middle of the crowd. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Popovich walked into the scene with Anxi, the camera clicked and flashed, Anxi squinted, found his place, and sat down.

"Alright, old friends, it's a pleasure to meet you again, but I'm short on time, so I hope your questions can be sooner." Popovich's opening remarks had become so common to reporters that they grabbed their time and started asking the questions they wanted to ask.

"Mr. Popovich, 12 points behind in the opening period, who do you think is the problem." The first question was ill-intentioned, but it didn't bother Popovich at all.

"My problem, I don't even know what the hell I'm up to." Popovich took the blame straight to himself.

The reporter who asked the question shrugged his shoulders and sat back.

"So after the game, the Spurs took a 12-point lead, whose credit do you think it is?"

"A credit to all of us." Popovich calmly looked at the reporter who asked the question, and seemed to say: Don't you want to stump me.

"Who takes the most credit?"

"Perhaps...... It's me......" Popovich smiled, and the reporters were even more speechless.

With Popovich here, no one among the reporters was willing to ask Anxi questions, only two reporters from China asked a few innocuous questions, and then the press conference was almost over.

"Alright, one last question."

Last question, Jeff McDonald, a reporter from the San Antonio Express, a local media outlet in San Antonio, stood up and asked: "After winning this game, the Spurs and the Heat have a tie, but the Spurs have beaten the Heat to become the first in the league with a double-kill Heat record, are you confident that you will maintain this ranking until the end of the season?" ”

Popovich nodded: "Of course." ”

……

"Spurs win the battle of the century! Season double kill Heat! ”

"27 consecutive wins are over! Spurs won the first place in the league! ”

"James' nemesis surfaced, the Spurs won 12 points and 8 in a row, ending a 27-game winning streak!"

The American media carried out a frenzied report after the game, and these reports were sent out as soon as possible, and in addition to these reports, there were also some reports that reporters speculated on their own.

For example: "James's rare move after the game, refusing to be interviewed or causing a conflict in the locker room?" ”

"Shocking: LBJ kicked the locker room, and the 27-game winning streak Heat actually lost to infighting?"

And then there are Spurs.

"The goal of 8 consecutive wins for the Spurs is to continue to win, or to catch up with the Heat's 27 consecutive wins!"

"Popovich takes the blame and credit, or does he dislike some of the players?"

However, there is no need to pay attention to these chasing reports, especially those related to Spurs.

After the game, James responded to his kick before leaving San Antonio: "I'm just venting, I'm unhappy with the team losing to the Spurs, I don't think my teammates have done their best, otherwise we wouldn't have lost this game, let alone been killed by the Spurs season." ”

James's response to the Spurs naturally knew about it, and Tony Parker was a little unimpressed by it, but he didn't speak in front of the media, but just mentioned it during the casual chat in training the next day: "LBJ's remarks are really a lot, he will always only find problems with his teammates, so what about himself?" ”

After the game that was touted by the media as the battle of the century, the Spurs went into the next game lightly.

The Spurs won all three games in March, and finally entered the final month of the regular season with 11 consecutive wins.

And the Spurs also have a record of 59 wins and 15 losses, still ranking first in the league.

On the contrary, the Heat, after losing to the Spurs, returned to the East to challenge the Bulls on the road, losing another game 97:101, losing for the first time in the season, and the gap with the Spurs also widened.

In the opening game of April, the Spurs defeated the Magic 98-84 to claim their sixtieth win of the season.

However, two days later, the Spurs rotated most of their main players and lost to the Thunder on the road, ending a 12-game winning streak, but the 60-16 record still held the Thunder and Heat stable.

With just six games left in the regular season, the Spurs began to rotate constantly, and in the final stages of the regular season, the Spurs' priority has shifted to the playoffs.

On April 6, 2013, the Spurs, a semi-main team, narrowly defeated the Hawks by one point 97-96, 61-16;

On April 10, the Spurs, who continued to rotate, lost 86-96 to Settlement, 61-17;

On April 12, the Spurs returned to their home court and defeated the Kings 108-101, 62-17;

On April 14, the Spurs challenged the Lakers away, at this time Kobe Bryant had been seriously injured and the season was reimbursed, but the gloomy Lakers unexpectedly defeated the Spurs, 91-86, Spurs 62-18.

On April 15, the Spurs challenged the Warriors away, Anxi scored 24 points, and the Spurs defeated the Warriors 116-106, 63-18;

In the last game of the season, on April 17, the Spurs were fully rotated, all substitutes played, and lost to the Timberwolves 95-108, just like that, the regular season ended, the Spurs 63-19, and finally beat the 61-21 Heat and the 60-22 Thunder, becoming the first in the league.

With the regular season coming to an end, the playoff matchups are out.

The Spurs are first in the West, and they will face the Houston Rockets, who are eighth in the West; The Thunder, who are second in the West, will face the Lakers, who are seventh in the West; The Nuggets are in the dark and third in the West, and their opponent is the Warriors, who are sixth in the West; The Grizzlies are fourth in the West and the Clippers are fifth in the West, and the two old rivals are once again meeting each other.

In the East, the Heat are first in the East, and their opponents are the Bucks, who are eighth in the East; The New York Knicks are second in the East, against the Celtics; The Indiana Pacers are third in the East against the Atlanta Hawks; The Nets and Bulls are fourth and fifth, and the two teams have also become opponents in the first round of the playoffs.

At the end of the regular season, Anxi also saw his regular season statistics, this season, Anxi played 79 games, including 6 starts, and the rest of the games were substitutes, averaging 30.6 minutes per game, scoring 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 2.8 steals, shooting 51.2% from the field, 42.5% from three-point range, and 88.7% from the free throw line.

Compared with last season's 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals, Anxi's data has exploded, but compared with the progress of James Harden and Paul George, the growth of Anxi's personal data has not attracted people's attention.

Only ESPN's Mark Stein, when making a season summary, paid a little attention to Anxi's data explosion.

"This season, the most notable thing about the Spurs is the improvement of several young players, Kawhi Leonard has gone from a qualified starter to a super starter who can defend one-handedly, help defend and hold the ball without the ball, Anxi has changed from a defensive engineer to a super sixth man in the league, and Danny Green has changed from a little-known substitute for the Spurs to a Spurs 3D starter......"
