Super Role Player

On April 16, 2012, the Spurs flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers away.

The Spurs came to Los Angeles a little earlier, but it's not that they didn't control the time well, but that they had other arrangements before the game.

T.J. Ford returned to his home in Los Angeles to recuperate after shoulder surgery. This time when the Spurs came to play in Los Angeles, Popovich wanted to see T.J. Ford. After all, T.J. Ford was going to play with the team in the postseason. It is a pity that he retired due to injury.

Popovich didn't ask all the players to go, and he didn't even mention it in the team. He just planned to bring the three veterans of GDP. After Anxi knew about it, he went with him.

Arriving in Los Angeles, the other Spurs players, under the leadership of assistant coach Mike Budenholzer, went to the Staples Arena to adapt to the field, while Anxi and the three elders of GDP followed Popovich in a nanny car. Drive all the way to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

T.J. Ford is now living in an apartment at the foot of Beverly Hills. Popovich had already contacted T.J. Ford before coming here, so just as Anxi and the others rang the doorbell, the door opened with a click.

"Mr. Greg, you are here, please come in."

It was T.J. Ford's wife who opened the door, and Anxi nodded towards her as a greeting.

After Popovich and the others walked in, Mrs. Ford began to say: "Terrence can't do too much strenuous exercise now, so he is lying on the sofa in the living room and waiting for you."

After walking a few steps, Anxi saw T.J. Ford lying on the sofa, and several people walked up to greet him with a smile.

"Hi, Terrence, long time no see. Judging by your appearance, you are recovering well."

T.J. Ford also smiled and said, "Long time no see, everyone."

Seeing Anxi, T.J. Ford smiled and said, "Anxi, you've played well recently, keep going!"

Anxi nodded: "Well, I will, Terrence."

Anxi stood by the sofa and listened to Popovich chatting with T.J. Ford. Anxi looked around at T.J. Ford's apartment. Those mansions on the mountain are simply incomparable, but think about it, with T.J. Ford’s income over the years, a mansion on Beverly Hills is probably unaffordable.

Thinking of this, Anxi felt a little emotional again. It seems that professional football is a glorious and lucrative job, but who knows the hard work behind it? And if you can't become a superstar, the money you earn is negligible. Like T.J. Ford, he can be regarded as a starting-level player in the league. When he retires, he can only afford an apartment like this...

After chatting for a few words, Popovich bid farewell to T.J. Ford, and Anxi waved goodbye to T.J. Ford who had been helping him all the time.

On the way to Staples, Anxi felt a little melancholy. Looking at the huge Hollywood sign on the hill in the distance, Anxi sighed deeply.

Tony Parker sneered and laughed: "Ann? What, is there something bothering you? Tell Big Brother?"

Manu Ginobili also joked: "Haha, Tony, don't ask, I think Ann is thinking, why is he an NBA player, not a Hollywood movie star, you didn't look at him The Hollywood sign?"

Anxi rolled his eyes. To be honest, the three elders of GDP are really disrespectful. The outside world really knows too little about them. They are all considered honest. In fact, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili Talking when he gets a chance, and Tim Duncan is notoriously boring in the team.

"No, I was thinking, originally Terrence wanted to get a championship ring at the end of his career, but in the end..." Anxi sighed again and explained.

Popovich in the front row spoke at this time: "Ann, who told you that Terrance won't get the championship ring?"

"Can he still get it?"

"Of course, as long as we can win the championship this season, he can get a championship ring. After all, he has played so many regular season games with us." Popovich explained, and Anxi thoughtfully. Nodding his head, it turns out that if the Spurs win the championship this season, Terrance can still get the championship ring, so he has to work hard.

Arriving at Staples, the game is about to start. Anxi went to the locker room to change his jersey, and then entered the field while waiting for the entrance ceremony.

Popovich has already made the pre-match arrangements. In this game, Anxi will continue to substitute.

In the locker room, the teammates chatted happily, and soon a staff member came to remind them that the game was about to start, and the Spurs had to enter the field first.

The entrance ceremony began, the DJ whispered the names of the Spurs players, and Staples booed.

And when the Lakers entered the arena, the DJ's voice became louder, and the scene immediately turned from booing to cheering...

"The first one to play is - Paul Gasol -! Let us welcome this all-star power forward -!" The live DJ dragged out the tone, and the Lakers played one after another. Paul Gasol was the first to play, Then came Steve Blake, Metta World Peace, Matt Barnes...

The penultimate player to play was Andrew Bynum, and the last player to play was Kobe Bryant, which caused Staples to stand up and cheer collectively!

"LAST OUT - Black Mamba - Kobe Bryant -! Bryant -! Greatest Lakers ever!"

Watching Kobe Bryant walk out amidst the cheers of the audience, Anxi clenched his fists secretly. Others didn't know, but Anxi himself knew very well that he had been resurrected with full blood. In this game, his goal was to To blast Kobe, however, he still has to sit on the bench and wait for his opportunity.

Of course, in this game, Anxi has another goal, which is to regain the starting position.

The game started quickly, and the starting lineup for the Spurs was point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Boris Diaw, and center Tim Duncan. On the Lakers side, starting point guard Ramon Sessions, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Metta World Peace, power forward Paul Gasol, and center Andrew Bynum.

Jumping the ball, Andrew Bynum won the ball with a better bounce, and the Lakers started the first wave of offense.

Ramon Sessions brought the ball across half court, and Kobe Bryant was standing at a 45-degree angle, holding the ball.

Kobe got the ball, and Danny Green, who was defending him, was still a little nervous. Kobe made a three-threat move, followed by a step forward, and quickly broke through to the inside.

When it was one step inside the three-point line, the Spurs double-teamed. Without Anxi, Popovich could only resort to double-teaming tactics.

Kobe rushed two steps against the defense, and then made an outside pass. Paul Gasol on the inside got the basketball and beat Boris Diaw. In the opening game, the Lakers scored two points first, and Kobe Bryant got an assist.
