Super Role Player

The rumors of Anxi's trade slowly disappeared. Anxi, who got the news from Ivor Clarke, knew that the Spurs had rejected all offers.

In the two games before Christmas, the Spurs gradually regained their status, a 99:94 small victory over the New Orleans Hornets, and another 129:91 victory over the Mavericks.

On Christmas, the Hornacek family did not come to San Antonio to spend the holiday with Anxi Abby. They just called Anxi and Abby on the same day and said happy holidays to Anxi and Abby.

Now Anxi can live comfortably with Abby.

The NBA also has some game arrangements on Christmas Day, which is the so-called Christmas game, but the Spurs have never been the darling of the league's business development, so the Spurs rarely appear in the Christmas game.

There are a total of 10 teams participating in the Christmas War this year, namely the Celtics away to the Nets, the Lakers to the Knicks away, the Heat to the Thunder at home, the Rockets to the Bulls at home and the Clippers to the Nuggets at home.

The 5 games were held in New Jersey, New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles, among which Staples Center and Madison Square Garden, two iconic arenas in the United States, played games.

In the end, these games ended in the evening. This is a compromise of the league for the Christmas game. After all, NBA players are also human, and they also need to go home to spend the holidays with their families, especially in the United States. Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year. status.

The Christmas game is all over, the game is very hot, the Celtics beat the Nets 93:76 away, the two teams dedicated a defensive battle, and finally the veteran team Celtics won. The Lakers defeated the Knicks 100:94. The coaching change before the Christmas game made the Lakers gradually stop the decline. This game even defeated the Knicks who were in hot form this season. Eun got his wish and saw the superstar basketball he wanted to see.

The Heat defeated the Thunder 103:97 at home, James and Durant's strongest small forward duel, and finally ended with James winning. The Rockets beat the Bulls 120:97, and the Rockets' four-man 20+ directly defeated the Bulls' defense. The Clippers defeated the Nuggets 112:100. Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes on the bench both scored more than 20 points.

The competitions were fierce and hot, but Anxi didn't pay attention to these games, because at home, Christmas Eve was equally fierce and hot, but it was a different kind of fierce and hot.

After the explosion, Anxi looked around the room, Abby beside him hugged him, closed his eyes, breathed slightly, and fell asleep.

The room was tidied up by Abby recently, and the sky blue walls have been covered with posters of Anxi.

Most of the posters are made by Abby himself. After all, Anxi is just a small role player now, so how can there be so many media to make posters for him.

Looking at these posters...1st NBA appearance...1st score...1st 3-pointer...1st mid-range shot...and 3-point leader...record-breaking playoff steal in one game... And a recent 9-for-9...

Looking at these posters, Anxi began to think about his next step. The Spurs went from preparing to trade him to refusing to trade him. Anxi discovered his value. Now, although he is only a sixth man, Anxi's value It's not just a sixth man anymore, besides, Anxi also has a system.

The jersey system... may be Anxi's biggest secret. With the jersey system, Anxi has never made a career plan for himself. Thinking about it now, it is really a luxury and a waste.

So how do you plan your career? Anxi found that the opportunities he could get in the Spurs were getting less and less. Perhaps in order to make better use of this system, for better career planning, and for a better future, Anxi should consider leaving the Spurs...

But not now, maybe it should be the end of this season. Anxi feels that this season is his last season to slowly improve himself and perfect his personal skills, so staying in the Spurs is good for Anxi.

So, Anxi made a decision, and he sighed.

This season, he will stay with the Spurs, but next season, Anxi will consider leaving...

But what if the Spurs don't let themselves go? Anxi doesn't know, and Anxi can't do anything about it. After all, he is a restricted player. It's up to the Spurs to decide whether to renew his contract.

Anxi is a bit worried. The Spurs trained him. It stands to reason that he should not think about leaving the Spurs, but there is no way. In the Spurs, Leonard is obviously more important than Anxi. If he stays, either Anxi will further transform, or Always on the bench, so obviously, Anxi had no choice but to leave the team.

After worrying for a while, Anxi firmly believed that there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so he put these thoughts aside.

The best choice is to leave the team after the season, but this season, Anxi still has to continue to work hard. Anxi must prove that he has the ability to get other teams to offer a super contract!

After Christmas and before New Year's Day, the Spurs played a few more games.

First they beat the Raptors at home, and then beat the Rockets again at home, but then, the Spurs lost to the Mavericks away, and they lost the ninth game of the season, and the No. 1 position in the Western Conference has been handed over to the Thunder.

In the last game on December 31, the Spurs defeated the Nets at home. In the end, the 2012 regular season was over. The Spurs achieved a record of 9 wins. Compared with last year, the Spurs' regular season record this year is slightly unstable.

The first place in the Western Conference was snatched away by the Thunder with only 6 wins. The Spurs played 3 more games and lost 3 more games.

In more than two months of game time in 2012, the Spurs played a total of 32 games, and Anxi played 31 of them, averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 3.0 steals per game.

Compared with last season's average data of 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks, the data has already improved qualitatively. Personal progress is one reason, and the increase in playing time is also part of the reason. Last season, Anxi averaged 25.2 minutes per game, but this season, Anxi averaged 32.5 minutes per game.

As a double substitute for the Spurs shooting guard and small forward position, although Anxi is a substitute, he still plays a lot of time.

The improvement in the first half of the season allowed Anxi to enter the selection of the most improved player. ESPN experts wrote this: "Anxi scored 7 points more than last season, and rebounded 1.9 more than last season. , assists are 1.2 more than last season, steals are 2 more than last season, blocks are 0.2 more than last season, and the overall statistics are on the rise. As a substitute, Anxi is definitely worthy of it this honor.

So an amazing thing happened. With the data of a non-star player, Anxi has been listed as the best sixth man, best defensive player and most improved player in the award prediction list for three consecutive seasons... (to be continued .)
