Super Role Player

On December 31, after an embarrassing night, Anxi finally found a way to get along with the Hornacek family.

Early in the morning, Anxi met Jeff Hornacek who was doing morning exercises downstairs in the apartment. After a tepid chat, Anxi knew that he had passed the test of Jeff Hornacek. Americans are relatively open, they advocate free love, the relationship between Anxi and Abby, Jeff Hornacek was only angry when he first found out, when he saw that Anxi is also a young talent in the basketball world, he naturally felt the same. Anxi was approved.

"Can you play in the Spurs now?" Jeff Hornacek chatted with Anxi while running.

"Yes, now my role in the team is a jack of all trades." Anxi replied obediently.

"Well then, I'll make a deal with you. If you can become a starter in the NBA, I will agree to your relationship with my daughter!"

"But, in the last game, we played against the Clippers, so I was the starter?"

The old Hornacek was choked by Anxi all of a sudden, and he replied angrily: "I mean to become the team's regular starter, not the kind of one game or two games."

After chatting for a few words, they decided on a meaningless deal that Anxi didn't want to accept but had to accept. Anxi went to the training hall, and he found that the atmosphere of the team didn't seem right.

After some inquiring, Anxi found out that the team was about to trade.

Before Anxi came, Richard Jefferson was called to the general manager's office, and he hasn't come out yet.

Because there will be a game in the afternoon, Anxi did some restorative training in the morning. During the training, Eke Diogu and James Anderson were called to the general manager's office to talk. In this way, Anxi can roughly understand the general situation of the transaction. up.

Richard Jefferson, Echo Diogu and James Anderson are all leaving...

Anxi was a little unhappy. Although he knew that this was business and this was the NBA, he still felt a little sudden.

In the afternoon, Eke Diogu left the team first. The news from the team is that Eke Diogu was waived. The contract he signed with the Spurs at the beginning of the season was a non-guaranteed contract. Now Eke Diogu is waived. , The Spurs don't need to spend a penny.

Then, Richard Jefferson and James Anderson packed their things and left the team respectively. Before the start of the afternoon game, the media released reports that the Spurs had completed the transaction.

According to reports, the Spurs packaged Richard Jefferson and James Anderson, plus a future second-round pick, in exchange for Kwame Brown and Dominic McGuire from the Golden State Warriors, and a value. A special case of 3 million transactions.

In this regard, as the New Year approached, the Spurs completed a deal to strengthen the inside. In exchange, Kwame Brown was a defensive center, while Dominique McGuire was an inside forward who could play power forward and There are two small forward positions, and both players have expired contracts, which can be regarded as solving the problem of Richard Jefferson's future junk contract for the Spurs.

Sending away two players at once and terminating one player, the Spurs will only have 12 players available for the afternoon game, but fortunately, only Richard Jefferson has been in the normal rotation among the players sent away, so The game in the afternoon still does not affect the team's performance.

AT\u0026amp;amp;T Arena, the Spurs ushered in the opponent Jazz in this game.

Last season, Jerry Sloan suddenly resigned in the middle of the season, and the team's top card, Deron Williams, was also sent to the Nets. Although Al Jefferson was introduced at the beginning of the season, the Jazz eventually failed due to a series of chaos. Can make the playoffs.

This season, the Jazz did not make too many signings. They have similar ideas to the Rockets. But what is better than the Rockets is that the Jazz's lineup is still good, with Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap on the inside.

With the addition of Derek Favors and Enes Kanter on the bench, the Jazz has the strongest inside combination in the entire NBA, plus Devin Harris, Gordon Hayward, Lagabel, C.J. Miles, the Jazz still have the strength to make it to the playoffs.

The Spurs' starting lineup for this game is point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward DeJuan Blair and center Tim Duncan. Anxi still appeared on the bench.

At the beginning of the game, the Jazz used their inside advantages to attack the Spurs' inside in turn, and once gained a certain advantage. The chunky DeJuan Blair and Tim Duncan, who started consecutively, faced the four Jazz insiders. Some are overwhelmed.

Therefore, Anxi played early in this game, and his task was to restrain Paul Millsap, who was already on the verge of going berserk.

Anxi once again stood at the power forward position, facing Paul Millsap.

"The Spurs have replaced China An. It seems that Popovich is going to take advantage of his defense. If Paul Millsap is not restricted, the Spurs will go far in this game."

Facing Millsap, Anxi began to think about the technical characteristics of this new opponent. At this time, Millsap was still in the initial stage of his career. He hadn't developed a mid-range shot or even a three-pointer, so Paul Millsap His offensive methods are very limited, that is, some close-range face-up offenses and some putbacks after grabbing rebounds.

Therefore, it is quite simple to defend such a power forward. Anxi only needs to stick to Paul Millsap and not give the opponent too much room to move.

Of course, it's easier said than done, that is, Anxi, a physical monster, would definitely not be able to withstand Paul Millsap's strength if it were someone else.

In the Jazz's offense, Anxi directly stuck to Paul Millsap. When a player with strength comparable to a big shark sticks to you, you will find that you can't even turn around.

This is what Millsap feels like now, but fortunately there is another thing called running position. Millsap has to start running. He is an insider, but under the defense of Anxi, it is already difficult for him to achieve a good position. More balls.

In the Jazz's offense, Paul Millsap got the ball by running, and then under the pressure of Anxi, he had to choose to face Anxi with his back.

After sitting and hitting for a few times, he couldn't move at all. Paul Millsap had already expected it. After all, he felt Anxi's strength from the very beginning.

So, Paul Millsap had to turn around on the spot, take a step back to open the distance, and completed a jumper.

However, because of Anxi's interference, this jump shot was deformed the moment it was shot, and the shot was naturally hit.

In this way, Anxi was once again treated as a rock by Popovich, and he made up for any leaks.
