Chapter 207: Transition Period (5/5,700 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"That bald fat man and that black strong man are the professional personal training team that Ann hired from outside?" asked Popovich, who had been working overtime, on the roof of the training hall, drinking a glass of red wine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yes, that bald fat man is McProc Pio, a well-known personal trainer who is said to have been Kobe's personal trainer and turned down an offer from the Lakers. Mike Budenholzer introduced Popovich. "The one who has been playing against Anxi is a former NBA player, Tony Brown, who used to play for the Nets. ”

Popovich showed a smile: "Hey, this personal training team, it costs a lot of money, the Chinese market is really vast and really profitable." ”

"yes, it's a pity that you can't look at it. Mike Budenholzer pouted helplessly, to be honest, in the entire league, the only one who does not put making money in mind may be the Spurs, in the past two years, a large number of NBA players have gone to China for a trip to China, but the Spurs have very few players who have gone to China to hold a China tour, like Tim Duncan has never held a China tour.

And in this season's preseason, the Spurs also rejected the Chinese tournament where they could make a lot of money.

"He's practiced a lot of offense, hasn't he?" Popovich looked at for a moment, and then another question suddenly popped up.

"Yes, McProkpio is an attacking trainer. ”

Popovich said thoughtfully: "It seems that Ann is ready to transform. ”

McBudenholzer was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you think he should transform?"

"He's still improved a lot in his offense, and he can completely transform into an attack. Popovich paused. "But his transformation, the defensive end may have to let go of a bit. ”

Mike Budenholzer nodded, indeed, each player's energy is limited, and it is impossible to take care of both the offensive and defensive ends, either slightly offensive, or slightly defensive, or completely defensive, as Anxi did before.

And Anxi, who is completely biased towards defense, is a big killer on the defensive end, but now that Anxi is going to transform into an offense, the defensive end must give up.

However, Popovich shook his head: "For the team, his transformation is not a big problem, we are an attacking team now, defense is not so important, the key games, he can step up when he needs to defend, it is enough." ”

Mike Budenholzer on the side nodded again, and then asked, "What about his transformation, do we need to make changes?"

Popovich shook his head: "Not for the time being, let's wait and see what happens." ”

Anxi's transformation is underway, he has a superstar dream, and with the jersey system, his superstar dream is completely achievable, so Anxi is working hard for it.

On November 3, 2012, the Spurs host the Utah Jazz, and Jeff Hornacek has left as the Jazz's shooting coach and is now an assistant coach for the Phoenix Suns.

So Anxi didn't see his father-in-law on the sidelines.

However, a few Jazz friends were still there, Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors were still there, and the two hugged Anxi, and then when it came to the game, they became rivals.

Anxi's defensive task in this game is still not heavy, and the Jazz have strengthened the point guard position this season, but their forward line is still the same, and Anxi's opponent is his friend Gordon Hayward.

The defensive task is not heavy, and Anxi can do more on the offensive end.

Compared with last season, Gordon Hayward has improved a little, and the offensive end has improved even more than Anxi, but it is useless, and under Anxi's slight defense, Gordon Hayward's offensive efficiency is not so high.

However, the Spurs still played with the Jazz until the last moment, and the Spurs' win was thrilling, and in the last five minutes, the Spurs relied on a wave of 13:3 offensive waves to widen the difference to 10 points in one fell swoop, and finally won the third victory of the season at 110:100.

The starter An Xi scored 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, in addition to 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 3 steals.

Gordon Hayward shot 7-of-18 and finally got 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and his performance was normal, but his shooting percentage was a little lower.

After playing the Jazz, the Spurs had another day of rest and then continued to play at home, facing the Pacers.

The Pacers, who forced the Heat to a tie-break last season, were not so easy to mess with, but in this game, Leonard broke out on the defensive end, and Paul George was 5 of 15 shots defended by Leonard, and finally scored only 14 points, so it is not surprising that the Pacers lost.

Spurs 101-79, one more win.

In this game, Anxi, who defended Sam Young, got more offensive opportunities, and Anxi scored a season-high 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting, but Anxi's continuous offensive performance made Popovich have other ideas.

On November 7, 2012, the Spurs played their first road game against the Clippers.

With the introduction of former Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford, plus Grant Hill and Matt Barnes, the Clippers are once again one of the favourites to win the title.

Before this game, the Spurs had won 4 in a row, while the Clippers were 2-2, and their new season record was not good, and the run-in was not as smooth as expected.

In the first game against the Grizzlies, the Clippers won and avenged the playoffs last season, and then the Los Angeles derby, against the Lakers with the Big Four, the Clippers won again.

It seems that the situation is excellent, after all, it has won two strong teams in the west in a row. In these two games, former Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford also performed very well, scoring 29 points off the bench in the first game, and then scoring 21 points off the bench in the second game.

But then, the Clippers faced the Warriors who were 1-1 in the first two games, and the Warriors, who were still at the bottom last season, were not taken seriously by the Clippers at all, but the 11 three-pointers of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson directly made the Clippers lose the game.

Jamal Crawford continued to perform well, scoring 27 points in this game, but the game was not won.

In the fourth game, the Clippers' opponent was the Cavaliers, who were also the team at the bottom of last season, and the Clippers still failed to win, and Kelly Irving's quasi-stunner helped the Cavaliers take the victory from Los Angeles.

And the Clippers' best sixth man Jamal Crawford still got a high score of 19 points, which is the only good news for the Clippers' two consecutive defeats - the best sixth man Jamal Crawford is perfectly integrated into the Clippers team!

In Spurs' first away game, the goal was naturally to win, and before the game began, Popovich announced the starting lineup for this game.

"For this game, we started with point guard Toney, shooting guard Danny, small forward Kawai, power forward Boris and center Thiem. Popovich put down the list in his hand and then watched the reaction of everyone, especially Anxi.

An Xi's eyes widened in surprise directly, he didn't expect that in this game, he would actually become a substitute, which ...... What's going on?(To be continued.) )
