Super Role Player

Naturally Anxi knew what Popovich said in the interview.

He is also a bit entangled now. The role of the substitute is indeed very suitable for him just by looking at the last game. In the bench lineup, Anxi can get more offensive opportunities, even including some back-up singles opportunities.

But, who wouldn't want to be a starter? After all, the substitute is still a substitute, and with Anxi's current strength, placed on the other 29 teams, it is completely the starting strength.

However, in the Spurs, the team has Kawhi Leonard, a teammate with the same attribute, and Anxi is a bit unreusable. After all, there are only so many opportunities. Anxi and Leonard are in complete conflict, and the opportunity is only Let Leonard look more powerful in the future.

At the beginning of the new season, Anxi didn’t have too many ideas. Since Popovich let himself be on the bench, Anxi will play well. The difference between the starting substitutes will not be much, as long as the playing time does not decrease, such as the last game. Although Anxi was a substitute, he also played for about 35 minutes, and his playing time was equivalent to a starter.

As for leaving the team to seek better opportunities, Anxi really didn't think about it. He felt that now he can get more opportunities in the Spurs, why should he leave the team?

As a result, the matter of Anxi becoming a substitute was determined. Anxi did not rebel. Of course, he would not rebel. Popovich would naturally not change his formation.

However, in the next few games, Anxi began to slowly and slowly decline.

In the sixth game of the season, the Spurs fought the Kings. After leading by 8 points at halftime, the Kings suddenly exerted their strength in the second half and almost recovered the score. However, in the fourth quarter, the Lao Spurs still controlled the score. At the end of the game, the Spurs won the game with 97:96.

At the beginning of the new season, the Spurs once again took the top spot in the league. It seems that the Spurs' regular season has been quite strong. According to ESPN's special columnist Bill Simmons, the Spurs' regular season has always been so stable, thanks to it. Yu Gregg Popovich’s deployment of troops.

In the eighth game of the season, the Spurs once again ushered in a champion-favorite opponent, the Lakers, but the Lakers’ recent situation is bad. The 7-game record is only 3 wins and 4 losses. Dwight Howard has become a sick beast. Howard's partner, and Nash, played a few games and suffered constant injuries.

Only Kobe's performance of the Big Four is normal, but in recent games, Kobe has also been sprayed with blood. Sports Illustrated experts believe that the reason why the Lakers lost four games in the first seven games was because Kobe didn't pass the ball;

ESPN's well-known Kosovo expert Henry Abbott said: "The Big Four lost 4 games in the first seven games? This is not surprising, because Dwight Howard needs the ball to play his power, especially Steve Nash. But very helpless, they met Kobe Bryant, a player who refused to give up the ball! People always like to say that LeBron James abolished his teammates, that LeBron James abolished Chris Bosh, but Kobe again Why not, this season, Steve Nash and Dwight Howard were abolished by Kobe!"

"Conclusion: The Lakers' poor record was caused by Kobe's refusal to pass the ball!"

Media criticism and abuse made Kobe furious. So on November 13, 2012, the Lakers played against the Spurs at home. As soon as the game started, Kobe entered the passing mode.

Kobe passed the ball to the hands of Dwight Howard inside, and Howard was taken for a layup...

Kobe passed the ball, outside Ci Shiping received the ball, missed a three-pointer...

Kobe passed the ball, and the mid-range Pau Gasol made a fortune!

But at this time, the Spurs have opened a wave of offense at 10:2, leading the Lakers by 8 points.

Kobe didn't care, and continued to pass the ball. This time Kobe made a breakthrough and created a gap in the interior. Howard in the interior again received an pass from Anxi and finally scored 2 points for a dunk.

But the Spurs have widened the point difference. The Lakers fell behind in the opening game and faced the Spurs' offense, they played in chaos.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter ~www.ltnovel.com~ the Spurs and the Lakers scored 18:12. At this time, Kobe scored only 2 points, but had 4 assists.

Regarding Kobe’s new play, Henry Abbott, who was sitting on the sidelines in the press box, was quite disapproving: "He passed the ball? But what is the difference from not passing the ball before?"

Indeed, the ball is still in Kobe’s hands. The difference is that Kobe no longer ends the offense on his own, but passes all kinds of passes to his teammates to end the offense. The fall in the first quarter also proves that Kobe’s play Method, the effect is indeed not good.

Soon, in the first official timeout of the first quarter, Anxi was sent by Popovich to play, replaced Leonard and stood at the small forward position. His opponent was Antoine who had just played. Jamison.

Jamison joined the Lakers to hold the thigh after the Lakers formed the Big Four. What he did not expect was that the Lakers had 4 thighs, but they were different in size and shape. As a result, the team’s offense and defense were messed up. Here comes the thigh.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Anxi got a chance. He got a call-out meeting at the bottom corner. Antoine Jamison's defense was not as good, but Anxi's three-pointer was actually an iron, even Anxi himself. did not expect. (To be continued.)
