Super Role Player

"In terms of statistics, Anxi has made the most progress. He scored 7.7 points more than last season, rebounds 2.2 more than last season, assists 1.3 more than last season, and he has blocked shots. Decrease, 0.4 fewer steals and 1.8 more steals. Overall, the data is increasing."

"But behind this increase, Anxi actually sacrificed his defensive performance in exchange for it. This season, Anxi became the Spurs substitute. The key reason is his transformation in the role of the team. He gave up part of the defense and instead invested. A lot of energy was on the offensive end, which eventually resulted in a skyrocketing offensive data, but the value of data alone is actually not high."

The value of data alone is not high...

Anxi laughed directly after reading this. He knew very well that although he scored a high score of 17.5 points per game this season, in the eyes of many people, his high score was actually backed by the Spurs. , Slowly brush it out.

An Xi himself knows very well. With his current strength, once he leaves the Spurs, the average points per game will indeed decline, but it will not decline too severely. At least 15 points per game can still be guaranteed. Anxi's back hits alone. And an emergency stop jumper is enough for Anxi to get a lot of points.

But of course, he will not argue about anything. Anyway, Anxi now has the idea to leave. Perhaps after this playoff game, whether he wins the championship or not, he will leave the Spurs at the end of the season.

The Spurs' opponent in the first round of the playoffs was the Rockets. James Harden was the first to lead the team alone. The explosive James Harden averaged 25.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game. It seems like another super shooting guard. It's going to be born.

In addition to Harden on the Rockets, Chandler Parsons is also worth noting. He is also a popular candidate for the most improved player. With Jeremy Lin and Omer Asik, at least, the Rockets are still top.

It is worth mentioning that the UAE also entered the Rockets’ playoff roster. The UAE, who joined the Rockets in the second half of the season, played 35 games in the final season, 14 of which were averaging 7.3 points and 4.2 rebounds. The performance is pretty good.

The first round of the Western Conference playoffs was also called the Chinese Derby, or the Chinese Derby, by the domestic media. After all, there is Jeremy Lin on the Rockets team.

The first game was held in San Antonio. In this round of the series, the Spurs didn’t have much pressure, so they didn’t take any special treatment. They just prepared for the game seriously, and then treated the game as an important regular season. Enough attention.

On April 20, 2013, the playoffs ignited, but there were no Spurs and Rockets on the first day of the game, the Western Thunder and the Lakers, Nuggets and Warriors, the Eastern Heat and the Bucks, the Knicks and Celtics, this Four games started first.

It is worth mentioning that Brandon Jennings of the Bucks said before the start of the playoffs: "We will solve the Heat in six games!" These words caused a lot of ridicule in the United States.

However, Jennings in the first game did not show his self-reliance. The Bucks were easily defeated by the Heat in 87:110.

In the other series of matchups, the Knicks beat the Celtics 87:78, the Thunder beat the Lakers 91:79, and the Nuggets beat the Warriors by two points 97:95.

Then, on April 21, the Spurs and Rockets game began.

Before the game, the two teams didn't have much talk. The Rockets who returned to the playoffs for the first time in three years performed very low-key, and the Spurs have never been a high-profile team, so this group of duels did not attract attention in the United States, but in China. Very concerned about this group of duels, whether it is CCTV or Sina, the game was broadcast live.

CCTV is still a fixed commentary combination directed by Yu Jia and Zhang, and the two started the pre-match commentary early.

"Director Zhang, there are Chinese players on both sides of this game. Which side do you support." Yu Jia directly raised a headache. Yes, there are Chinese players on both sides. Which side would you support at this time?

Director Zhang did not mean to be stumped: "I will choose to support the Spurs for a simple reason. The Spurs have a greater chance of winning, even as high as 100%."

Yu Jia laughed: "Director Zhang is very witty. Indeed, there is not much suspense in this round of the series. The Spurs only need to limit James Harden to win easily. In the Spurs, Kawhi Leonard and Dan Neglin, including Anxi, can limit Harden very well, so the suspense of the game will be very small."

In the home team’s locker room, *Vicci didn’t say anything nonsense, and directly announced the lineup of the game: “Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, center Ti Yagosplit."

The regular lineup is no different from usual.

As for the visiting team’s locker room, Kevin McHale, who is good at making chicken soup, started feeding chicken soup directly: "Everyone is not optimistic about us. They say we can only refuse to sweep at most. The San Antonio Spurs have 10,000 ways to beat us! They can We are a little bug, we can knead it at will, but! Is this really the case?"

"We also made the playoffs with our own strength, and we are also a playoff team. Why can't we win the Spurs? Even if we only win two games!"

"So, go on the court and use your performance to show that group of dogs-mothers! Our Houston Rockets are not so messy!"

Kevin McHale’s chicken soup is still very useful, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Rockets players rushed into the field yelling.

The game started very quickly. The Spurs played at home and were very confident. From the beginning of the game, the Spurs played very steadily, stable and not chaotic, and slowly attacked from position.

On the other hand, the Rockets, although the morale is very high, but they played chaotically as soon as they played, especially against the Spurs' sudden increase in playoff intensity. Their performance was a bit at a loss. The lack of experience in the playoffs caused the Rockets to fall into it from the beginning. Passive.

The entire team, except for Harden's performance is still normal, the performance of the other players is a mess.

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, Kevin McHale called a timeout and the Spurs began regular substitutions.

In the seven minutes of the game, the Spurs led the Rockets by 7 points at 20:13. Only from the 7 minutes of the game, the Spurs' victory should be no big problem.

"Ann, Manu, you play, replace Kawhi and Danny, Ann, you go to defend James Harden." *Vicci said briefly, and then asked Anxi to defend Harden.

An Xi nodded and then appeared. (To be continued.)
