In the game against the Jazz, Anxi once again showed his strange characteristics, and after limiting Paul Millsap, the Spurs gradually dominated the court, and quickly won the game, winning the opening 4 consecutive victories. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Anxi has played a decent amount of playing time in three consecutive games and has really entered the Spurs' rotation. Especially in this game against the Jazz, the Spurs' victory Anxi contributed a lot, if it wasn't for him to defend Paul Millsap, the Spurs' victory in this game was really not certain.

After the New Year, he and Abby sent off Jeff Hornacek and them, Anxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, Abby moved in again, and the two lived a sweet little life again.

In the blink of an eye, on January 2, the Spurs ushered in the first game of the new year, the opponent was the Timberwolves, they rotated again, Anxi only played 14 minutes, and the Spurs won the game bloodlessly, winning 5 in a row.

Then, a day later, Anxi started the first half and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks to help the Spurs win Game 6 of the season, this time against the Warriors. In the face of this team that almost chose his own, Anxi also got a lot of opportunities to play and proved himself.

On January 5, the Spurs played back-to-back games against the Mavericks, and Popovich still stuck to his rotation policy, and Anxi didn't even go to Dallas, only to get the news of another Spurs win in San Antonio.

The Spurs who returned to San Antonio faced the Denver Nuggets after a day of rest, and the hot Spurs won the game again with a 7-man double-double data, Anxi got 19 points, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in this game, and once again improved his single-game scoring record.

The Spurs are in amazing shape, and almost everyone has played their part in the current 14 players in the Spurs team, the old spicy of the three elders of GDP, the strategy of Thiago Split, the outside defense of Anxi and Kawhi Leonard, and a group of bench bandits on the bench who can even be used as starters at key moments, the Spurs' 8 consecutive wins make people feel so deserved.

Anxi played in 6 of the 8 games, and in addition to being amazing on the defensive end, he also repeatedly hit key three-pointers on the offensive end, which is now regarded as a new discovery for the Spurs.

However, in these 8 games, the Spurs have not encountered any real strong teams, and the first game against the Grizzlies is considered a second-rate strong team in the league. The Clippers faced in the second game, although they blew well at the beginning of the season, but after a few games, they were completely exposed, and at most they were teams in the same gear as the Grizzlies. The next few opponents, the Rockets, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Warriors, are all the kind of teams that are on the verge of the playoffs, and they are two notches lower than the Grizzlies. The opponent in the last two games, although the Mavericks are the defending champions, has lost a lot of main forces in the offseason, and the strength has long been unable to compare with last season, this season's Mavericks can only barely be regarded as a second-rate team, and the Nuggets are a notch worse than the Mavericks.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the most that the 8-game winning streak can prove is that the Spurs are very stable, and they can win the games all the way steadily, but against the Heat, Thunder, which have no disadvantage in strength, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses the game.

Therefore, the current Spurs are actually still a Spurs that have not proven themselves to be the league's first-class powerhouse, although they have won the opening 8 consecutive wins.

However, the opportunity to prove themselves was not long in coming, and after playing the Nuggets, the Spurs did not rest, and the next day they flew to Oklahoma, where they will face a back-to-back schedule again, this time against the Thunder.

In 2007, the Thunder selected Kevin Durant with the No. 4 pick, then Russell Westbrook with the No. 4 pick in 2008, and James Harden with the No. 4 pick in 2009, thus forming the Thunder Three Less. And the 2011-2012 season is a season in which the Thunder's three young broke out, Kevin Durant won the scoring title in a row, Russell Westbrook continued to improve, James Harden also grew into one of the league's super sixth men this season, and the three young men were first formed, and the Thunder was also about to produce results.

On January 8, 2012, dragging the tired body caused by consecutive away games, the Spurs' away game against the Thunder was about to begin.

In the last game against the Nuggets, Anxi played for 27 minutes and was almost used as the main force, so Anxi was naturally put on the bench in this game.

Starting the Spurs side are point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Danny Green, small forward Cowhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Split. On the Thunder side, point guard Russell Westbrook, scoring guard Saboseforosa, small forward Kevin Durant, big forward Sergi Ibaka, and center Kendrick Perkins.

The recent schedule has made Anxi feel full of malice, not counting the official holiday on January 1, from January 2 to January 7, in the 6 days, the Spurs played a total of 4 games, and counting today's game, that is 7 days to play 5 games, if it weren't for Popovich's rotation policy, I'm afraid Anxi would have been tired to death.

The tight schedule is actually the biggest problem faced by the Spurs in the shrinking season, but fortunately, Popovich used his scheduling ability to win an advantage for the Spurs, on the other hand, the opponent of this game, the Thunder, played 4 games in 7 days before that, only one less than the Spurs, and in these four games, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook almost played the whole game, and James Harden on the bench also did not rest much in four games.

In the past 7 days, the Spurs have not arranged much training, they are flying and running everywhere all day long, and every place they go to, at most they are doing some recovery training, Anxi feels that his progress is very slow, and he has been practicing for more than a month in the middle of the shot, and he has not seen any progress recently.

And in the last few games, Anxi has also found a lot of his own shortcomings, needless to say the lack of offense, although he has the ability to control the ball with TJ Ford, but Anxi's offense still belongs to the kind of player who has a fresh move, and there is only one point that is reliable. Defensively, Anxi maintained his usual level, but Anxi always felt that his defense was a little problematic.

The problem is that Anxi will always be able to complete the defensive tasks given to him by Popovich, but while completing the mission, there will always be some hiccups such as playing the Clippers, and Anxi will be accidentally taken by Blake Griffin......

So An Xi feels that maybe his defense can't be regarded as a real complete body, and maybe he needs to improve.
