Super Role Player

Throughout the first half, the Spurs had all the advantages on the court. Lionel Hollins kept dispatching troops, but he couldn't prevent the Spurs' passing and cutting tactics.

However, several waves of adjustments by Lionel are still effective. At least after replacing O.J. Mayo, the Grizzlies' offense has recovered slightly, and they are slowly able to fight against the Spurs.

Throughout the first half, Anxi could only sit at the end of the bench. Although he was on the active list in this game, there are too many players ahead of Anxi in the rotation. There is Manugino at shooting guard Billy, Danny Green and Gary Neal, and Richard Jefferson and Kawhi Leonard at the small forward position, it can be said that Anxi may not get even a minute of playing time in this game.

After the intermission, the Spurs consciously accelerated their offensive rhythm, and the game gradually lost suspense. The Spurs' new offensive tactics were too difficult to defend.

If the offensive tactics of the Spurs last season were only a preliminary version, which was broken by the Grizzlies because of their own inexperience, then the passing and cutting tactics offered by the Spurs this season have basically reached the most perfect state. For a team that likes to grind positions, the Spurs' passing and cutting tactics are undoubtedly their nightmare.

By the 8th minute of the third quarter, the Spurs had already led by 27 points, but Popovich didn't mean to change players at all, and Lionel Hollins on the opposite side didn't mean to change players and surrender.

Therefore, at the end of the third quarter and the fourth quarter, Anxi was in a tormented wait until the end of the game, but he didn't get any playing time. The Spurs played the game with the main force, and the game ended At the time, the score had become 122:89, and the Spurs beat the Grizzlies by 33 points.

Anxi couldn't be happier, because he didn't even get a single cent of playing time in this game, and he could only sit at the end of the bench and watch his teammates fight on the field. This feeling is obviously very uncomfortable .

But on the way back to the locker room, Anxi figured it out, who is he? He is only a second-round rookie, and he is only the 59th overall pick in the second round. Want to get playing time? That depends on your own efforts!

How can there be playing time without hard work? What's more, Anxi's performance in the team training game is not very good, it can only be regarded as mediocre. In the same position of the team, it can only be said to be better than James Anderson, and about the same as Gary Neal. How can Anxi squeeze out such a performance? Those teammates ahead of him?

So, after thinking about it carefully, Anxi also figured it out. After he figured it out, Anxi only thought that he had to work harder, not only in the game, but when he returned to San Antonio, he also had to work hard in the team training , trying to squeeze the players in front of him.

Anxi sat on the bench in the first game, and the domestic reporters who came to interview did not know how to report the game, until an old fellow who came with him said: "It is not easy to want news, just write Anxi is not strong enough, maybe he can become the mascot of the team?"

Suddenly reminded a few young reporters who had just come to the United States, they suddenly realized, and immediately expressed their respect to this senior colleague.

However, among this group of reporters, a young reporter with a Tiger Sports logo frowned. She felt that what the old reporter did was wrong. Anyway, Anxi was included in the team's 12-man roster, which shows that Anxi is still very hopeful to play in the future. The old reporter's approach is obviously wrong.

So, in the group of Chinese reporters rushing to press releases after the game, this reporter from Hupu made a different choice from most of them. Her news headline was: Anxi entered the team's activation list in the first game of the season, 48 minutes Failed to play!

On the other hand, other reporters said: An Xiku sits on the bench and may become the team's mascot!

What's more, the following headline was played: The outside line of the men's basketball team may become the next Sun Yue,

He is not even as good as Sun Yue without a minute?

The press release was sent back to the country in this way, and after a little review by the editor-in-chief of the major portals, it was put on the front page of the NBA version.

But in Xihu City, Hupu Sports headquarters, editor-in-chief Jiang Duowan frowned.

"This Annie, what the hell is going on? Everyone is saying that Anxi is sitting on the bench and may become the next Sun Yue. Look at her content and title! It's not topical at all!"

The person in charge of the NBA section sitting across from him, Yang Bolun, quickly explained: "Mr. Jiang, it may be that Anne has other information about Anne in the United States. This news has already been posted, so let's do it first, maybe there will be some feedback later. Turn, I think, our Hupu news should be like this, don't be slobbery, so that we can follow up in the follow-up!"

Jiang Duowan nodded helplessly: "That's the only way."

Anxi failed to get playing time in the first game, and Anxi worked even harder. On the night of returning to San Antonio, Anxi even ignored Abby's temptation to sacrifice her life, and ran to the team's training hall alone to start additional training.

"I have to practice more. If my ability to hold the ball can improve faster, that would be great. And if I can improve my mid-range shooting, I can rush to the front of the rotation lineup!"

...

In Anxi's apartment, Abby sat alone on the bed and pouted. She thought that Anxi must be eager to see her when she came back from the away game, but she went to the arena for extra training as soon as she came back. What the hell!

Abby turned on the TV and browsed casually very unhappy.

The sports channel flashed by, and Abby hesitated for a while before pressing the back button. Because during the Spurs game against the Grizzlies, Abby Hornacek went to Dallas to do an interview about the Mavericks, so she didn't watch the Spurs game, so she didn't know the situation.

Just like that, Abby began to watch the post-game report between the Spurs and the Grizzlies while Anxi was sulking. When she saw that Anxi didn't get a single bit of playing time, Abby immediately understood why Anxi had to practice more when she came back. Suddenly, Abby felt a little guilty, plus a little bit of pain for Anxi.

So she got up quickly, got dressed, and left the apartment.

In the training hall, when Anxi had just made 100 mid-range shots, Abby cautiously opened the door and walked in.

Anxi turned her head, and saw a long-legged beauty walking in with two bottles of water, Anxi smiled all of a sudden.

He remembered a joke, so he laughed even more happily.

"What are you laughing at? Aren't you thirsty? Come and drink water!" Abby feigned anger.

Anxi defended the basketball, wiped his sweat with his jersey, pointed to the water in Abby's hand and said with a smile, "I'm thirsty, but this thing doesn't quench my thirst."

"Ah! So what quenches your thirst? Gatorade?" Abby was frightened, thinking she had bought the wrong water.

"I think your saliva must be very thirst-quenching!" Anxi joked seriously, and then kissed her all at once, thinking at the same time, if the joke was changed to this, it would be more cruel-dog, right?
