Super Role Player

The Spurs won the first game, and the 15-point difference made the series a bit out of control.

"The Spurs have a 15-point advantage, and they won the first game of the Western Conference semifinals with ease!"

"The Spurs won easily with 15 points. The strength gap between the playoff teams is so terrible?"

"The strength gap is too big, the most boring playoffs in history!"

Mike Budenholzer threw away the newspaper in his hand, and then scolded his mother: "This group, when we win, they jump out and say the game is not exciting."

Looking at Mike Budenholzer, who had no demeanor and demeanor, Popovich smiled and shook his head: "Well, Mike, in fact, they are just praising us in another way, but this way does make People hate it, not to mention, grizzly bears are not so easy to deal with, you and I know it."

Mike Budenholzer nodded. He agreed with Popovich’s statement that the Grizzlies weren’t that easy to deal with. In the last game, if the Spurs were not for their morale and the state of the game was extremely good, the Spurs would not have been able to lead three quarters. With 20 points, the game will be relatively fierce.

Because the Grizzlies are improving, they are improving every year. This year's Grizzlies are obviously a bit defensive of the Spurs.

In the last game, the Spurs were in a very good state, so the Grizzlies' defense was virtually defeated, but in the second game, everything was not necessarily true.

...

The Spurs won the first round of the second round easily, but the Thunder were stubbornly blocked by the Warriors.

In Oklahoma City, the Thunder, with Dewey's second junior, was forced by the Warriors until the final quarter. In the last five minutes, the Warriors suddenly rained a three-pointer, immediately led by 10 points, and then passed the offensive end. Continuous pick-and-roll offenses kept the lead.

At the end of the game, the Warriors actually went 113:104 away, winning the Thunder by 9 points! There was a big upset in the first round of the second round.

The Eastern Conference also broke out upsets, the Heat and the Bulls in the first game, the Bulls played a very good team defense, the defense of the Big Three only James was normal, the Heat also unexpectedly lost to the Bulls with 81:97, losing the first game.

The Pacers and the Knicks also played fiercely, the game continued until the last quarter, still retaining suspense.

However, in the last quarter, the more stable Pacers won. Through continuous teamwork to score, they slowly led the Knicks. In the end, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 103:98 away and won.

As a result, in the second round of the four games, in addition to the Spurs' victory over the Grizzlies, the other three were actually played by knocks. This result made the group of reporters who have been advocating that the playoffs are not exciting.

"Under three games, NBA ushered in a flourishing age!"

"This is the most exciting playoff game!"

These climax remarks made the Spurs the most destructive and exciting team, but Popovich didn't care. Before the second game, the low-key Spurs chose to prepare quietly, which was a lively scene in the US media. Next, the quietness of the Spurs is very unique.

The Spurs are very quiet, but it is difficult for Anxi to calm down. In the past few days, more and more media have asked Anxi for exclusive interviews through Ivo Clark. Many of them are non-sports media, mostly from Asia, such as Xinhua News Agency. CCTV and some Korean and Japanese media also came to visit Anxi for an exclusive interview.

All of this is because of the most improved player trophy.

This crystal cup has been placed in its own trophy showcase by Anxi. There is also a three-point king trophy, a rookie challenge mvp trophy and a dunk king trophy, plus this fastest improvement Player trophies and four trophies also make Anxi's trophy showcase a bit interesting.

As for the interview, Anxi only agreed to the Xinhua News Agency and CCTV's interviews, but Anxi refused all those interviews by the Korean stick media.

The domestic issue of Anxi's winning the Most Improved Player Award has been discussed for a long time.

Basically, the atmosphere is still very good. There is no scolding in the country, but all kinds of "comfort", encouragement, and fans of Anxi.

However, there are also many black fans who have brought the rhythm, for example, they mentioned the curse of the Most Improved Player Award.

In the 99-00 season, Jaylen Rose, after winning the most improved player, never continued to improve; in the 00-01 season, Tracy McGrady, although a former superstar, many people still think , Tracy McGrady did not fulfill all his talents; Jermaine O'Neal in the 01-02 season, likewise, after the most improved player, basically did not become a superstar as people expected.

From the beginning of the 04-05 season, the spell of the most improved player became more obvious. Bobby Simmons's second season of getting the most improved player fell due to various reasons; Boris in the 05-06 season The same is true for Dior. After the most improved player, he suffered from injuries; the same is true for Monta Ellis in the future.

The most improved player is basically considered to be an unknown award. Even if you have enough strength, perhaps you will lack some effort, or even if you have the strength and effort, accidents such as injuries will also occur.

Anxi naturally understands the curse of the most improved player, but he doesn't take it seriously. There is a jersey system. What do these curses count? Difficulty These rumored spells can be more powerful than the system?

On May 7, 2013, at six o'clock in the evening, the second game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies began at the att arena.

In the last game, Anxi received the trophy from the most improved player, so as soon as Anxi appeared in this game, reporters soon came to the door.

Turner Sports was in charge of the broadcast of the game. Craig Sager held a microphone and went to the court to look for players to interview, so he quickly found Anxi.

"Ann, you accepted the most improved player's trophy in the last game. How are you feeling these two days?"

An Xi nodded: "Not bad."

Craig Sager was taken aback for a moment, that's it all? Has the difficulty Spurs players been infected by Popovich?

But he just froze for a while, quickly adjusted, and continued to ask: "Then what do you want to say about this game."

An Xi looked at the camera behind Craig Sagel. He knew that everything he said was being broadcast live, so he was more careful in answering. After a little thought, An Xi said, "Win this Games."

"But Zach Randolph said that he won't let you continue to win." Craig Sagel said quickly, Anxi glanced at Craig Sagel faintly, and he seemed to say again, I see through you. You are picking things up.

Craig Sarger was a rare challenge. He blushed and handed the microphone to Anxi's mouth, as if to say again: You say so quickly.

For Zach Randolph, An Xi has no good feelings at all now. No one likes a person full of swear words. Therefore, An Xi answered this question quite rudely: "He is talking big, if this game I have a chance to **** him, then I will kick his ass!"

The game started quickly. In the second game, the Grizzlies changed their starting lineup. The point guard is still McConley, the power forward is still Zach Randolph, and the center has not changed-Marc Gasol, but scoring. The two positions of guard and small forward have changed significantly.

Lionel Hollins chose Jerry Bayless as the starter, Bayless and McConley formed a double point guard combination, plus Tony Allen as a small forward, the Grizzlies played a perimeter deviation in the second game. Short lineup, but the Grizzlies' adjustment purpose is somewhat obvious. Their offense was once unfavorable in the last game, so this game allowed Bayless to start in order to strengthen their offense.

In this game, Anxi is still a substitute, and the Spurs are still a regular starter without any changes.

Thiago Splitter and Marc Gasol fought for the ball, this time Marc Gasol jumped higher and directly fought for the ball.

After the first battle, the two teams also learned a lot about each other, so the Grizzlies went directly into the state with the first goal. McConley had the ball from outside and was in no rush to attack. Obviously, the Grizzlies were very clear about the game against the Spurs , The most critical factor is the fighting pace of the game~www.ltnovel.com~ The Grizzlies are slow-paced, the Spurs are fast and slow, but for the Grizzlies, they most need to do is to let the rhythm of the game be controlled by themselves, and Not being dragged into the rhythm of the Spurs by the Spurs.

The opening was fierce, McConley missed a layup with the ball and Splitter grabbed the rebound.

The Spurs launched an offense. Tim Duncan missed a close-range jumper and Marc Gasol protected the rebound.

The two teams failed to score in the opening game, and then they continued to hit the iron. Tony Parker missed a jumper and Zachrandorf missed a high jumper...

The game lasted more than three minutes, and the two teams have never been able to open the scoring account.

Popovich on the sidelines is a little anxious. Popovich has a clear view of the game. In addition to the rhythm of the two teams, there is another important point, that is, whether the Spurs can play their offense or not. Whether the Bears can play their defense, if the Spurs play offense, then the Spurs will have a greater chance of winning, but if the Grizzlies are allowed to play their defense, as it is now, the Grizzlies will have a greater chance of winning.

After another two minutes of dismal offense, the Spurs and the Grizzlies played 2:3, and the Grizzlies scored 3 points. At this time, Popovich finally couldn't stand it and called a timeout.

After the timeout, Popovich became angry. The Spurs' offense was really bad. Tony Parker missed two shots and Kawhi Leonard missed two shots. The only goal was dunked by Duncan, but Duncan It was only 1 of 3 shots and Popovich's bleak shooting percentage made Popovich a shot, so he chose a substitution.

"Ann, Manu, you play, replace Danny and Thiago, Ann, you go to the fourth position, pay attention to the offensive end is mostly on the bottom line."

Popovich arranged for Anxi to play the fourth position, but Anxi was eager to try... (to be continued.)
