Super Role Player

Chapter 24 The Season Begins

The communication with Abby Hornacek was quite pleasant. I heard that Mr. Anxi had never been in a club at such a young age. Abby seemed to have found a confidant, and the two quickly became friends.

Abby Hornacek asked Anxi to call her Abby, and he called Anxi "An" in a delicate voice, which made Anxi's goosebumps rise.

But in the afternoon, the Spurs resumed training, so Anxi and Abby Hornacek said goodbye, and trotted to the training hall with the basketball they "stolen" the day before yesterday.

Abby Hornacek is about to start working, and after finally sending away her father, Jeff Hornacek, Abby Hornacek can finally start her work in Texas safely. Abby Hornacek feels a burst of joy when she thinks that Texas has three strong NBA teams and her neighbor is a rookie with the San Antonio Spurs.

Of course, the happiest thing is that her parents finally can't control her.

Anxi, who started training again, had a hard time because the head coach Gregg Popovich officially announced that from now on, the physical training in the morning will be canceled and replaced by technical training for each player. For this reason, Popovich Vicki also assigns everyone training tasks.

For example, Kawhi Leonard continued to correct his shooting style, DeJuan Blair continued to lose weight and so on.

And the task Anxi was assigned was similar to Kawhi Leonard's, and it was also shooting...

Now it's Anxi's turn to worry, shooting? If only the three-point shooting is fine, Anxi is not afraid of that magical jersey, but the technical training in the morning is for him to practice his shortcomings. How can Anxi be allowed to practice the strengths that Popovich saw—— What about three points?

So the shooting training that Popovich mentioned, if Anxi's guess is not bad, it should be a mid-range shot.

Anxi doesn't have the slightest ability to shoot in the mid-range! Even if no one is defending a mid-range shot, the hit rate will not exceed 20%. How can Anxi not feel guilty or distressed in this situation?

But Chip Engelland is a good shooting coach. In the afternoon, he went to Anxi and said to Anxi: "Anxi, don't worry, take it step by step. Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to shoot mid-range shots. It doesn't matter if you are mid-range, the important thing is that you have to study my method seriously, as long as you learn it seriously, I guarantee that you can at least have the average mid-range shot of the league."

With Chip Engelland's guarantee, Anxi was relieved, but the shooting practice on the second day still tortured Anxi to death. He couldn't make all kinds of mid-range shots. Anxi was ridiculed by a few veterans in the team. After a long time, even Tim Duncan, who always doesn't smile and only Popovich can make a smile, showed an imperceptible smile.

"Did that guy think of himself?" Anxi guessed maliciously. Anxi knew that Tim Duncan used to practice swimming. He didn't start playing basketball until he was 14 years old. It is estimated that he struggled with these basic training at that time. Pass.

On December 22, in the second preseason game of the Spurs, the opponent was still the Rockets, but the battlefield was at home.

Because they have already played once and both sides are familiar with each other, Anxi got 17 minutes of playing time in this game, which is a big improvement from the previous game.

But Anxi knew that this improvement was just because Popovich didn't want to waste energy on a preseason game, especially against an opponent like the Rockets who had played once.

In 17 minutes of playing time, Anxi scored 15 points, plus 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He performed very well.

And in this home game, Anxi's beautiful neighbor Abby Hornacek also went to the home court to cheer for Anxi. Being able to get the cheers from the beautiful woman made Anxi feel good, and the next day's training was more motivated.

After two preseason games, the new season of the NBA has begun. After the lockout, there are only 66 games left in the 2011-2012 season. The NBA officially announced the schedule.

People found that even if there are only 66 games left, there are still many devils in the schedule, and there is even a new schedule called "back-to-back-to-back"! It represents three games in three consecutive days, which shows the horror of the schedule.

Therefore, in the discussion of the favorites for the new season championship, the Spurs have encountered many doubts. People questioned whether the Spurs' current lineup of old, weak and sick can survive to the playoffs in the shrinking season. Not to mention the finals.

Therefore, the Heat and Thunder with younger lineups have become favorites for the championship in people's minds.

Before the start of the season, many reporters hoped to get the opportunity to visit the Spurs, and because of Anxi's relationship, Abby Hornacek became the first reporter who successfully obtained the right to interview.

Abby Hornacek entered the Spurs training hall with a camera. The camera first took pictures of the black and white main color training hall, and then started the interview. The first interview must be the team's head coach Gregg Popovich .

"Hello, little Abby, say hello to your father for me." Gregg Popovich already knew the identity of Abby Hornacek, otherwise it would be very difficult for Abby to get an interview just relying on Anxi's introduction of the right.

There is so little news about the Spurs every year, and it seems that the Spurs are so low-key. In fact, it is because the reporters cannot get the interview rights of the Spurs.

Little Abby curled her lips, and then replied in a low voice: "Understood, Mr. Greg."

Popovich smiled and said, "Then let's start the interview."

"Hey, Ann, is that girl your girlfriend? She looks really good!" DeJuan Blair approached with a naughty smile.

An Xi pouted: "De Juan, if you don't go to training, the coach will yell at you."

DeJuan Blair shrank his neck and walked away immediately.

Soon, Abby interviewed the entire Spurs, and the last interview was Anxi.

Abby sat across from Anxi, holding the microphone, staring at Anxi with a pair of charming eyes.

"Ann, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Anxi scratched her head: "You're welcome."

"No, I still have to thank you. How about this? I'll treat you to the bar at night." When it came to clubbing, Abby's voice softened, as if she was whispering to Anxi.

Anxi nodded helplessly.

"Okay, then our interview begins. The first question, Ann, your home country is China, and Yao Ming was an All-Star in the NBA before you, so is your goal also wanting to be like your predecessors? So, what about being an All-Star?"

...

Abby Hornacek's interview was not nutritious, but Anxi still answered one by one.

After the interview, Anxi continued to go back to training. At the end of the training in the afternoon, Anxi took a shower and prepared to continue training, but Abby jumped out again.

"Hey, Ann! Time to go!"
