Super Role Player

In the game against the Jazz, Anxi once again showed the characteristics of his surprise player. After restricting Paul Millsap, the Spurs gradually took advantage of the field, quickly won the game, and achieved 4 consecutive victories in the opening game.

Anxi has had considerable playing time in three consecutive games and has truly entered the Spurs' rotation. Especially in this game against the Jazz, Anxi contributed a lot to the Spurs' victory. If he hadn't defended Paul Millsap, the Spurs' victory in this game is really not certain.

After the New Year, Anxi was relieved to see off Jeff Hornacek and the others together with Abby. Abby moved in again, and the two lived a sweet little life again.

Fast forward to 2012. On January 2, the Spurs ushered in the first game of the new year. The opponent was the Timberwolves. They rotated again. Anxi only played 14 minutes. The Spurs won the game without bloodshed and won 5 consecutive victories. .

Then, one day later, Anxi started the first half and scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks, helping the Spurs win the sixth game of the next season, this time against the Warriors. Facing the team that almost chose him, Anxi also got a lot of opportunities to play and proved himself.

On January 5, the Spurs played against the Mavericks back-to-back. Popovich still insisted on his rotation policy. Anxi didn't even go to Dallas, but got the news that the Spurs won again in San Antonio.

After returning to San Antonio, the Spurs played against the Denver Nuggets after a day off. The fiery Spurs won the game again with a 7-man score in double figures. Scored 19 points, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, once again improving his single-game scoring record.

8 consecutive victories to start the game! The state of the Spurs is amazing. There are currently 14 players in the Spurs team, and almost everyone has played their own role. The veterans of the GDP, Thiago Splitter’s support, Anxi and Kawhi Leonard’s perimeter Defense, and a group of bench gangsters on the bench who can even be used as starters at critical moments, the Spurs' 8-game winning streak makes people feel so taken for granted.

In 8 games, Anxi played 6 of them. In addition to being amazing on the defensive end, he also made key three-pointers on the offensive end. Now it has been regarded as a new discovery for the Spurs.

However, in these 8 games, the Spurs did not encounter any real strong teams. The first game against the Grizzlies is considered a second-rate strong team in the league. The Clippers faced in the second game. Although they played well at the beginning of the season, after a few games, they showed their true colors. At most, they were the same team as the Grizzlies. The next few opponents, the Rockets, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Warriors are all teams that are on the verge of the playoffs, two grades lower than the Grizzlies. As for the opponents in the next two games, although the Mavericks are the defending champions, they lost a lot of main players during the offseason, and their strength has long been unable to compare with last season. Another grade worse than the Mavericks.

Therefore, in these eight victories, the Spurs have not actually encountered a real top-notch team in the league, such as the Heat, Thunder, Lakers, and Bulls. In the eyes of many people, the 8-game winning streak can at most prove that the Spurs Very stable, they can steadily win the games that should be won all the way, but when facing teams that have no disadvantages in strength like the Heat and Thunder, it is hard to say who will win the game.

Therefore, the current Spurs are actually still a Spurs that have not proved themselves to be a top team in the league, although they have won 8 consecutive victories in the opening game.

But the opportunity to prove themselves will soon come. After playing the Nuggets, the Spurs did not rest and flew to Oklahoma the next day. They will face a back-to-back schedule again, this time their opponent is the Thunder.

In 2007, the Thunder selected Kevin Durant with the No. 2 pick, followed by Russell Westbrook with the No. 4 pick in 2008, and James Harden with the No. 3 pick in 2009.

From this, the Thunder Three Young Masters were formed. The 2011-2012 season was a season in which the Thunder's three minorities broke out. Kevin Durant won consecutive scoring titles, Russell Westbrook continued to improve, and James Harden also grew into the league's super sixth man this season. One of them, the three young masters have just completed, and it's time for Lei Ting to show results.

On January 8, 2012, dragged by the exhausted body caused by consecutive away games, the Spurs' away game against the Thunder will begin.

In the last game against the Nuggets, Anxi played 27 minutes and was almost used as the main force, so Anxi was naturally put on the bench in this game.

The Spurs started with point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Splitter. On the Thunder side, point guard Russell Westbrook, shooting guard Sabo Seforosa, small forward Kevin Durant, power forward Serge Ibaka, and center Kendrick Perkins.

The recent schedule made Anxi feel full of malice, not counting the legal holiday on January 1. In the six days from January 2 to January 7, the Spurs played a total of 4 games. Counting today's game, it would be 5 games in 7 days. If it weren't for Popovich's rotation policy, I'm afraid Anxi and the others would have been exhausted.

The tight schedule is actually the biggest problem facing the Spurs in the shrinking season. Fortunately, Popovich used his scheduling ability to give the Spurs an advantage. On the other hand, the opponent in this game-the Thunder, also played for 7 days before that. In these four games, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook almost played the whole game, and James Harden on the bench also played four games. The game didn't take much rest.

In the past 7 days, the Spurs have not arranged much training. They are flying and running around all day long. Every time they go to a place, at most they do some restorative training. Anxi feels that his progress is very slow. After many months of CIC, I have not seen any progress recently.

In the last few games, Anxi has also discovered many shortcomings of himself, not to mention the shortcomings on the offensive end. Although he has TJ Ford's ability to handle the ball, Anxi's offense is still the kind of player with one trick and is reliable. There is only one three-pointer. On the defensive end, Anxi has maintained his usual level, but Anxi always feels that his defense is a bit problematic.

The problem is that Anxi is always able to complete the defensive tasks assigned to him by Popovich, but while completing the tasks, there will always be some small episodes, such as playing against the Clippers, Anxi will be accidentally caught by Blake Griffin succeed……

So Anxi felt that perhaps his defense could not be regarded as a real perfect body, and perhaps he needed to improve.
