Super Role Player

Chapter 121 Longing for the Best Rookie Team

"Ann, how do you practice your single defense?" For the main players of the Spurs, the rest of the regular season is training, training, and training.

After training, Anxi was lying on the sidelines, looking up at the ceiling of the training hall, and Kawhi Leonard slowly walked to his side.

Anxi turned her head, glanced at Kawhi Leonard in surprise, and then replied, "That's how I practice."

Kawhi Leonard still had no expression on his face, he slowly bent over and sat down.

"No, I mean, do you have any tricks? You're improving so fast."

"Trick?" Anxi frowned. If there is any trick, it must be the jersey system, but that is not to be said, but if you have to say that there is no trick at all, then it is fake. In any case, Anxi's single defense has improved Super fast, there must be a way.

After thinking about it, Anxi said, "Maybe it's because of a sudden enlightenment, but I still have some experience."

"..." Kawhi Leonard stopped talking.

Anxi smiled: "By the way, Kawhi, I heard that the selection of the best rookie team has already started. I don't have much chance. What about you? Do you think your chance is great?"

For the best rookie team, if it was placed at the beginning of the season, Anxi would still have the idea to rush, but now, Anxi has no idea anyway. In this rookie class, there are too many explosions in the second half, and Anxi's second half Cheng's offense has declined again, so Anxi thinks he has no chance.

There are four or five games left in the regular season. So far, Anxi has averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. And Kawhi Leonard, because he partnered with Anxi in the second and third positions in the second half, he got more and more opportunities in offense. With his strength in the second half, he can average 11.5 points and 6.5 points per game this season. Rebounds 2.3 assists 2.2 steals and 0.8 blocks, the data is much better than Anxi.

Faced with Anxi's question, Kawhi Leonard moved his lips: "Ann, actually, you also have a chance. You underestimate the impact of the team's record and defense."

"Really?" Anxi was thoughtful. If the judges really considered the impact of the team's record and defense when voting, then Anxi would really have a chance to break into the best rookie team.

But in fact, Anxi has no interest in the name of the best rookie team. The main reason is that Anxi is interested in money. Jordan Sports will give a reward of 500,000 US dollars for being selected to the best rookie team. All the deposits of Anxi before will be taken. After making the investment, now I only have the daily salary I received during this period of time. Besides, who would think that there is a lot of money? After all, that was half a million dollars!

Anxi looked at Kawhi Leonard who was silent, and smiled in his heart. To be honest, Anxi felt in his heart that Kawhi Leonard was like a replica of Tim Duncan. Compared with himself, Kawhi Leonard Leonard is more like a Spurs player, and after this period of change, Anxi found that he seems to have deviated from the Spurs' team culture.

What is the Spurs' team culture? Low-key, down-to-earth, hard-working, and sacrificing... But now Anxi is not low-key, not down-to-earth, and doesn't even have the spirit of sacrifice...

Kawhi Leonard beside him had already stood up. Anxi looked at him, thought for a while, and opened his mouth and said, "Kawhi, in fact, you don't need to practice too much just to defend yourself. The point is, you have to learn to observe. , learn to sum up, and at the same time, when defending, don't be impulsive, everything is to block the opponent's offensive intentions first."

Kawhi Leonard turned his head to look at Anxi: "Thank you, Ann."

Anxi shrugged. In fact, what he just said was the defensive experience he summed up during this period. Learning to observe means learning to observe the opponent's offensive characteristics, and then learn to summarize and summarize the opponent's offensive characteristics. Two points, when facing a specific opponent,

It's not a big problem.

As for the last point Anxi said, it is actually aimed at the current Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi Leonard’s defense is actually very strong, but there is a shortcoming, that is, he likes to stretch out his hands randomly. It seems that Kawhi Leonard In my dictionary, steals are the only way to defend. Of course, this also helped Kawhi Leonard almost lock the honor of this year's steals king.

But stretching out hands indiscriminately is sometimes not a good habit. He will make the defender lose his position in the defense, cause the defender to foul, etc., so Anxi feels that if Kawhi Leonard gets rid of this bad habit, There will definitely be a qualitative leap in defense.

In the remaining few games at the end of the season, Anxi didn't get much playing time, and in the last few games, Anxi didn't even play.

By the end of the season, major media have already started work on the predictions of the major awards of the regular season and the playoffs, especially ESPN, the current overlord of American sports.
