Super Role Player

On March 15, 2012, the Spurs got another day off, and Popovich directly gave the players a day off.

Early in the morning, Anxi ran with Jeff Hornacek. After the Knicks, Anxi followed Jeff Hornacek to start special training without the ball. One game, so there is still plenty of time for special training.

After playing the Knicks on March 7, Jeff Hornacek found a Reggie Miller CD for Anxi on March 8, running without the ball. Among the stars, you really have to watch Reggie Miller .

In the next few days, Anxi began special training under the guidance of Jeff Hornacek.

Jeff Hornacek’s way of training without the ball is very simple. He made a few wooden stakes in the yard to act as obstacles. Anxi’s first task every day is to run around the wooden stakes. Jeff Hornacek gave a rule When the specified time is reached, Anxi can end this initial training.

At the beginning, Anxi thought this training was very simple, because his speed was always very fast, he ran back and forth, and finished it within the specified time. From Anxi's point of view, it must be very simple. In the end, when he really started running, Anxi realized the difficulty, because Jeff Hornacek would actually stand aside and direct.

That is to say, Anxi’s slalom run is not static. Every run will have a change in route, and this change has to be under the command of Jeff Hornacek. Jeff Hornacek asked Anxi to bypass it. Whichever pile Anxi has to go around. In this way, time and time again, Anxi is swayed by Jeff Hornacek's command and doesn't know where to run, or suddenly turns back and runs. Anxi has no time to react, and time will naturally pass. Delayed.

This training, in the words of Jeff Hornacek, is: the situation on the court changes rapidly, how can you only run according to one route.

And Jeff Hornacek also said that in the future, there will be other changes in this off-ball special training. For example, Jeff Hornacek will no longer command, and Anxi has to find opportunities by himself. As for how to find opportunities , Jeff Hornacek is not willing to say, just know when it comes.

However, in Anxi's view, this off-ball special training is ultimately about running, and running out of space as fast as possible is victory. This is still very simple for Anxi. Anxi feels that he may not need to upgrade the jersey system, and his off-ball may improve to a very good level.

Before the 15th, the Spurs also played a few games.

On March 9th, the Spurs challenged the Clippers in an away game. Anxi continued to start this game and played a guest power forward. Blake Griffin's nemesis, who was called out at the beginning of the season, continued to be reflected in this game. Griffin of Anxi defense Only 5 of 15 shots were made, but the Spurs still lost the game. Chris Paul scored 36 points. On the other hand, the other players of the Spurs were in a bad state. In the end, the Spurs lost 12 points and ended their winning streak.

On March 11th, the Spurs played against the Wizards at home. In this game, Anxi's task was to stare at John, so after the game, John's data became 2 of 14 shots, and the Spurs won. this game.

On March 13th, the Spurs played against the Magic at home. Anxi, who had not rested after the All-Star Game, was rested by Popovich. Without Anxi, the Spurs still won the game. After winning this game, due to the shrinking season The trade deadline postponed by the league is over.

As of the trade deadline, the Spurs had a record of 35 wins and 6 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference. The Thunder, second in the Western Conference, had 33 wins and 10 losses. There are 25 games left, and the Thunder only have 23 games left. More than half of the season is over. The Spurs, the No. 1 in the Western Conference, will not lose as long as there are no major problems.

And on March 16, the Spurs are about to usher in their third and final confrontation with the Thunder this season.

In the first two games, both sides had one win each, so this game became the best chance for both sides to decide the winner in the regular season.

The low-key Al-Quds media is okay, and they didn’t exaggerate the game, but the media in Oklahoma City is different. Now that the Spurs are number one in the Western Conference, they feel very upset. After all, the Thunder also won against the Spurs. , So when it comes to speaking, the media in Oklahoma City is also very tough.

"Thunder Daily" reporter Royce Young wrote in the Thunder Daily's game-day preview column: "The Thunder and Spurs are about to meet again. This game is the third meeting between the two sides. Maybe they will divide the regular season. It’s a winner. For the Spurs, they are No. 1 in the West and No. 1 in the league, so they may have a certain psychological advantage, but as a reporter for the Thunder Daily, what I want to say is that the Thunder and the Spurs won the first two games. One to one tie, the outcome of this game is still unknown!"

As the Thunder's official media, Royce Young's speech was very restrained. The outcome of the game is still unknown, and the Spurs have no idea, but "Oklahoman" reporter Darnell Mayberry The forward-looking report made the reporter in San Antonio angry.

"The Thunder and the Spurs are about to meet again. This is the top game in the Western Conference. Some people say that after the All-Star Game, the Spurs are in good shape and the Thunder have no chance of winning this game. In my opinion, this kind of argument is extremely ridiculous. .”

"Why do I say that? The reason is simple. Although the Spurs are No. 1 in the Western Conference, they are often No. 1 in the Western Conference. Last season, the Spurs were No. 1 in the Western Conference. The result? They were defeated in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs." Xiong Gan went home! Therefore, whether the current Spurs are No. 1 in the West or No. 1 in the West, they can’t actually give them extra points, because they may be killed by a worse team at any time, let alone the next Spurs. The opponent is Thunder, and it is Thunder led by Thunder's third young master!"

Darnell Mayberry actually used the black eight of last season to attack the Spurs, which angered the media in San Antonio. Originally, the black eight of last season was a scar on the Spurs. The season is almost over, and this scar is all It's almost finished, but it turned out to be good, and you uncovered it again. Can the media on the Spurs side not be popular?

The largest newspaper in the Holy City, the "San Antonio Express", did not start a war of words after Darnell Mayberry made such remarks. The three NBA reporters of the San Antonio Express—Jeff McDonald and Mike Monroe And Danish Ke Carney did not directly confront Darnell Mayberry, and the low-key of the Holy City was also revealed in the media. They still honestly previewed the game.

Then it is predicted that this game will be a fierce battle. Both the Spurs and the Thunder have a chance, but the low-key of the Quds people does not mean that they will silently endure the bullying of others. On the front page of the newspaper, the San Antonio Express. The title of "The True Chapter" directly led the topic to the competition.

Indeed, as the Jixiang San Antonio Express wrote, no matter how much you drool before the game, it is not as good as winning the game with an excellent state in the game.

The war of words between the two cities did not happen. The media in San Antonio believed that the Spurs and the Thunder were 50-50, while the media in Oklahoma City were overly optimistic about their own team. However, the American sports media had a different view. They were more optimistic about the Spurs. .
