Chapter 230: The End of 2012 (5/10, Ask for Subscription!Ask for Monthly Pass!)

The trade rumors slowly faded away, and Anxi, who got the news from Yvo Clark, knew that the Spurs had rejected all offers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the two games before Christmas, the Spurs gradually found their form, one with a narrow 99-94 victory over the New Orleans Hornets, and the other with a 129-91 victory over the Mavericks.

At Christmas, the Hornacek family didn't come to San Antonio to celebrate the holiday with Ann Creek Abby, but just made a phone call that day and said Happy Holidays to Anxi and Abby.

Now Anxi can be very comfortable with Abby in the two-person world.

The NBA also has some games scheduled on Christmas Day, which is the so-called Christmas War, but the Spurs have never been the darling of the league's commercial development, so the Spurs rarely appear in the Christmas War.

There are a total of 10 teams participating in this year's Christmas game, namely the Celtics away to the Nets, the Lakers to the Knicks, the Heat to host the Thunder, the Rockets to take on the Bulls and the Clippers to host the Nuggets.

Five games were held in New Jersey, New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles, with Staples Arena and Madison Square Garden Arena taking place at two of the nation's most iconic arenas.

Eventually, the games were over in the evening, a compromise for the league to play Christmas, because NBA players are human beings and they need to go home to spend the holidays with their families, especially in the United States, where Christmas is the equivalent of the Chinese New Year.

The Christmas game was all over, and the game was very hot, the Celtics defeated the Nets 93-76 away, and the two teams contributed a defensive battle, and finally the old powerhouse Celtics won. The Lakers defeated the Knicks 100-94, the change of coach before the Christmas game gradually stopped the Lakers' decline, and this game defeated the Knicks, who were in hot form this season, Kobe Bryant and Anthony both scored 34 points, and David Stern got his wish to see the superstar basketball.

The Heat defeated the Thunder 103-97 at home, and James and Durant's strongest small forward faced off, which ended in James winning. The Rockets defeated the Bulls 120-97, and the Rockets' four-man 20+ directly broke the Bulls' defense. The Clippers beat the Nuggets 112-100, with Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes both scoring more than 20 points off the bench.

The competition was fierce and hot, but Anxi didn't pay attention to these games, because at home, Christmas Eve was just as fierce and hot, but it was another kind of fierce and hot.

After the fire, An Xi looked at the room, and Abby beside him hugged him, already closed his eyes, breathed slightly, and fell asleep.

The room has recently been cleaned up by Abby, and the sky blue walls have been covered with posters of Anxi, most of which are made by Abby herself, after all, Anxi is still just a small role player, where did he come from to make posters for him.

Look at these posters...... First NBA appearance...... First Score...... First three-point ...... The first to win the ...... There are also three-point kings...... Record-breaking playoff steals in a single game...... and 9 of the last 9 shots......

Looking at these posters, An Xi began to think about what his next step should be, the Spurs went from preparing to trade him to refusing to trade in the end, An Xi discovered his value, and now, although he is only a sixth person, An Xi's value is not just a sixth person, besides, An Xi still has a system.

Jersey System ...... may be Anxi's biggest secret, with the jersey system, Anxi has never made a career plan for himself, and now that he thinks about it, it is really a luxury and waste.

So how should he make a career plan? Anxi found that he could get fewer and fewer opportunities at the Spurs, perhaps in order to make better use of this system, for better career planning, for a better future, Anxi should consider leaving the Spurs......

But not now, maybe it should be the end of this season, Anxi feels that this season is the last season for him to slowly improve himself, and it is a season for him to improve his personal skills, so staying with the Spurs is good for Anxi.

So, An Xi made a decision, and he sighed.

This season, he will stay with the Spurs, but next season, Anxi will have to consider leaving......

But, what if the Spurs don't let him leave? Anxi doesn't know, and Anxi can't help it, after all, he is a restricted player, whether to renew the contract or not, or the Spurs themselves decide.

Anxi was a little worried, the Spurs cultivated him, it stands to reason that he shouldn't think about leaving the Spurs, but there is no way, in the Spurs, Leonard is obviously more important than Anxi, if he continues to stay, either Anxi will further transform or will always be substituted, so it is obvious that Anxi can only choose to leave the team.

After worrying for a while, Anxi firmly believed that there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, so he put these thoughts aside.

The best option is to leave the team after the season, but this season, Anxi still has to continue to work hard, Anxi must prove that he has the ability to make other teams give a super big contract!

After Christmas, before New Year's Day, the Spurs played a few more games.

First beat the Raptors at home, then beat the Rockets again at home, but then, the Spurs lost to the Mavericks on the road, suffered their ninth loss of the season, and the first place in the West has been ceded to the Thunder.

In the final game on December 31, the Spurs defeated the Nets at home, and finally, the 2012 regular season was over, and the Spurs had a 23-9 record, which was slightly shaky compared to last year.

The first place in the West was snatched away by the Thunder, who won 23 and only lost 6 losses, and the Spurs played 3 more games, so they lost 3 more games.

In more than 2 months of 2012, the Spurs played a total of 32 games, and Anxi played in 31 of them, averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 3.0 steals per game.

Compared with last season's 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks, the data has been qualitatively improved, personal improvement is one of the reasons, and the increase in playing time is also part of the reason, last season, Anxi played an average of 25.2 minutes per game, but this season, Anxi played an average of 32.5 minutes per game.

As a double bench for the Spurs shooting guard and small forward positions, Anxi still has a lot of playing time although he is a substitute.

The progress in the first half of the season has also allowed Anxi to enter the selection of the most improved players, ESPN experts wrote an article saying: "Anxi has 7 more points than last season, 1.9 more rebounds than last season, 1.2 more assists than last season, 2 more steals than last season, 0.2 more blocks than last season, the overall statistics are rising, as a substitute, Anxi definitely deserves this honor."

And then the amazing thing happened, Anxi was on the list of award predictions for three seasons in a row with the stats of a non-star player - Best Sixth Man, Best Defensive Player, and Most Improved Player...... (To be continued.) )
