Super Role Player

To be honest, Anxi is still somewhat dissatisfied with his current status in the team.

Kawhi Leonard is the future of the team, but because of Leonard, he was forced to come on the bench. Although Anxi didn't say anything about this, he must still have lumps in his heart. No one is willing to be a substitute, including Anxi.

On December 9, 2012, the Spurs embarked on an away journey, and they flew to Charlotte by plane.

As the middle of December approached, heavy snow fell in the eastern part of the United States. When the Spurs' plane landed, Charlotte was covered in snow. The weather was cold, and everyone in the Spurs was not in high spirits. They wrapped themselves in thick down jackets and headed to the hotel.

Fortunately, the opponents in this game are not strong. The Bobcats have been in the rebuilding period for the past few seasons. Last season, they selected Kemba Walker and Pismy Biyombo, and this season they selected Michael Gilchrist. The quality of the draft is average, and the only star player in the lineup should be Kemba Walker.

Like Anxi this season, Kemba Walker has made some progress. From averaging 12.1 points and 4.4 assists per game last season to 17.4 points, 5.4 assists and 2.0 steals per game in the first 18 games of this season, Kemba Walker's The improvement made Michael Jordan happy, because he finally proved his draft vision.

However, this season's No. 2 Maggie's performance is not as good as expected. Maybe he has a good defense, but what Michael Jordan wants is not a defensive player. He hopes that Maggie can become another Michael just like his name.

The game was held at the Time Warner Center. Anxi, who had just rejected the Spurs' contract extension, was still on the bench. The five players of the Spurs remained unchanged.

The Hornets are point guard Kemba Walker, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, small forward Michael Gilchrist, power forward McBiyombo and center Byron Mullens.

"The game has started, damn it, I'm late." On the sidelines of the Time Warner Arena, a middle-aged white man with messy hair rushed into the arena, found his seat, and sat down.

Looking up at the center of the field, the middle-aged white man breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, it's okay, that guy hasn't appeared yet."

The game has already started. The Spurs easily suppressed the Bobcats at the beginning. Boss Joe sat on the sidelines and watched the game happily. Although the team gradually fell behind, at least the Bobcats still showed his future and hope. No, Kemba Walker faced Parker, didn't he play a good personal offense?

In the first quarter of the game, neither side had the intention of calling a timeout. They played until the eighth minute of the first quarter, when the game entered the official timeout. Popovich waved his hand, and Anxi and Manu played together.

The eyes of the mysterious middle-aged white man on the sidelines lit up: "Ah,

out. "Then he looked more seriously.

Anxi played, the Bobcats also made substitutions, Jeffrey Taylor replaced Gerald Henderson, Brandon Haywood replaced Byron Mullens, came back from a timeout, and the game restarted.

Anxi played against Maijiji, and his defensive task in this game was not heavy, so Anxi appeared more frequently on the offensive end.

The first wave of offensive possessions belonged to the Spurs. Tony Parker brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then began to break through.

Maijiji is second in the list, so he is naturally very high-spirited. When he found out that the player he was defending was actually Anxi, Maijiji had the same opinion as Anxi. His defensive task is not heavy, but Maijiji's next The idea is different from that of Anxi. McGee's offensive methods are lacking, and it is difficult to participate in the Bobcats' offense, so his idea becomes, he needs to make up more defenses...

Anxi circled to the three-point line close to the sideline, with Parker beside him.

Tony Parker and Boris Diaw came up with a cross-screen cooperation, and then cut to the inside, and the Bobcats' inside man was on his back for a while, and McGee lost Anxi and rushed to the defense.

Anxi was empty all of a sudden, and Anxi was also in a daze. This time, he didn't even need to move by himself, and an empty seat came out naturally.

McGee underestimated the Spurs' point-ball. The moment he left Anxi, Parker's ball holder shook suddenly, and the basketball flew to Anxi's side.

Anxi stretched out his hand to take the basketball, and Maijiji was two or three steps away from Anxi. When he returned to the defense in shock, Anxi had already risen into the air...

"Anxi's three-pointer!" ESPN commentator Mike Breen shouted from the sidelines.

"Shua!" Maijiji had no time to defend Anxi, and when he took a few quick steps back to defend Anxi, the basketball had already plunged into the net, making a crisp sound of entering the net.

On the sidelines, the middle-aged white man laughed, then took out a pen and paper, and took notes: "The three-pointer is indeed accurate."

The game continued. With Anxi's defense, Maijiji, who had no offensive means, was completely overwhelmed. He could only stand aside and watch his teammates attack. Fortunately, Anxi was also afraid that Maijiji would cut inside, so he stayed close. .

Kemba Walker's singles, he passed Tony Parker, cut inside, but was interfered by Duncan for a layup, the basketball missed, Duncan turned around and took off the rebound.

The Spurs slowly entered the frontcourt, and the game was already in the hands of the Spurs.

Anxi ran without the ball, bypassing Dior, throwing away McGee, and directly received a pass from Parker. In the second offensive round after playing, Anxi got another golden opportunity through his own running position.

In the middle distance, one step away from the free throw line, Anxi jumped up and threw the basketball with an extremely standard posture.

Swish! McGee, who arrived belatedly, watched the basketball go into the hoop again...

Enter again! Anxi scored 5 points alone in the opening game.

The eyes of the middle-aged white man on the sidelines brightened again: "It's very good off the ball, and the mid-range shot has improved a lot."

Michael Jordan is still talking with his friends on the sidelines. Although the game has entered the rhythm of the Spurs, Michael Jordan doesn't care about the team's backwardness at all. He didn't even think about winning this game.

The game continued, and Kemba Walker finally made a comeback. He used the pick-and-roll to break through Parker's defense, and made a direct jumper after the pick-and-roll! Help the Bobcats get back 2 points.

Michael Jordan cheered from the sidelines. It was just a goal. Hearing the cheers from the sidelines, the Spurs didn't care. They quickly organized the next wave of attack...

It was still Anxi, who ran away from Maijiji with a reverse run, received a pass from Parker, and Maijiji rushed over in an instant.

Anxi held the ball and was about to shoot. He shook McGee away, and then made a jump shot directly on the spot. The basketball hit the basket accurately!

Swish!

"Going in again! It's still Anxi! Score 7 points in a row! Even Michael Gilchrist can't stop him!"

Mike Brin yelled, and the middle-aged white man on the sidelines continued to record: "The shooting is accurate, the touch is soft, and the offensive end is very thoughtful." (To be continued.)
