Super Role Player

　　The Spurs eventually lost the game against the Mavericks, losing their seventh game of the season.

　　 Lost the game, the Spurs flew to Minnesota overnight to prepare for the third game in three days.

　　 Before the start of the game, Popovich accepted an interview with the media. For the first back-to-back schedule that the Spurs encountered, Popovich expressed helplessness. He did not understand why the league arranged such a schedule.

"Our players are tired from playing three or four games a week, but now let us play three games in three days. I can’t figure out why the league arranges the schedule like this. I really doubt the minds of the league’s schedule staff. A lot of shit!"

　　 Popovich started to spit, and he talked a lot more than usual. The media reporters got excited and wrote in the headlines of the newspapers: "The Spurs coach criticized the league and said that the staff had **** on their heads."

As for the Timberwolves, head coach Rick Adelman also echoed Popovich’s statement that the Timberwolves have a slightly better schedule these days than the Spurs, four days and three games, but the schedule is also quite scary, but they are right. The Spurs have an advantage. In these four days, the day of rest happened to be yesterday, which means that the Timberwolves took a day off.

　　 The game started in the Target Center Arena. Anxi was the starter in this game, but the position changed a bit. He topped the power forward position and faced Kevin Love.

To say that Kevin Love broke out from last season. These two seasons are at his peak. Last season, he averaged 15.2 rebounds per game and won the rebounding champion. This season, Kevin Love’s offensive Fully evolved and began to show off on the offensive end. The game has been played until now, Kevin Love averaged 26.8 points per game, ranking fourth in the scoring list. Therefore, in this game, Anxi’s strong shield was taken by Popovich. Put it in the position of power forward.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams began to fight against each other. Both teams are offensive teams. Rick Adelman is a Princeton master, but he just started coaching the Timberwolves this season. The Princeton strategy of the Timberwolves has not yet fully taken shape. However, in the past few seasons, the Timberwolves have always played a triangle offense, so the Timberwolves' offense is still very good.

In the last game, the Spurs' main players were rested. Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard, Anxi and Tim Duncan started in this game. The Spurs who played all the main players played as soon as they came up. It's very aggressive, open and close, regardless of offense and defense, it puts a lot of pressure on the Timberwolves.

　　 As soon as the game began, the Spurs turned their backs on the offensive and organized wave after wave of offensives to attack the weak defense of the Timberwolves. Rick Adelman frowned. If we continue to fight like this, things will be very bad...

The Timberwolves are not doing well this season, with a lot of injuries. Originally, the Timberwolves invited Rick Adelman with the goal of making the playoffs, but so far this season, the Timberwolves have only 23 wins and 24 losses, with a winning percentage of less than 50%. , Currently ranked tenth in the West, behind the Rockets and the Suns.

　　 If the Timberwolves want to return to the ranks of the playoffs, then the winning percentage must return to 50%, which is at least.

　　The eighth and ninth place winning percentages of the Western Conference in recent years speak for it all. The Rockets have been ninth for two consecutive years, and their winning percentage is exactly 50% every year. So if the Timberwolves want to rush in, the winning percentage must exceed 50%.

　　 Therefore, Rick Adelman has always hoped to take advantage of the schedule to win the game and return the winning percentage to 50%, but at the beginning of the game, the Spurs beat the Timberwolves.

The Spurs’ starting lineup for this game should be considered the Spurs’ five strongest players. Tony Parker’s organization and scoring, Manu Ginobili’s spirituality, Anxi’s top single defense, Kawhi Leonard’s help, and the team’s defense. Duncan's dominance inside, with all his strength, the Timberwolves are indeed difficult to resist.

　　 With 1:02 left in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs were already 14 points ahead. Anxi and Tony Parker were replaced with a dead ball.

　　 They have to rest and stagger their playing time with the other three.

　　 "Well done, Ann, Tony, you guys have a good rest. We have to clock in halftime for this game, and we will play for both of you in the second quarter." Mike Budenholzer personally gave Anxi and Parker towels.

　　 As Mike Budenholzer said, in this game, the Spurs' goal is to get off work in two quarters, because the Spurs' physical fitness is nearly exhausted in three days and three games, and this game must be a quick decision. Because of this, the Spurs will use their full strength, play high-intensity offense and defense, and quickly widen the point difference.

　　The Spurs under their full strength, against the injured Timberwolves, the score difference was very fast. When Anxi returned to the field, the score difference had reached 22 points, and it was only the 5th minute of the second quarter.

　　 Popovich’s task for Anxi and Tony Parker is to expand the point difference to 30 points before halftime.

　　 It's difficult to say, simple and simple. In fact, the Spurs only need to defend Kevin Love and then attack well.

With the Timberwolves’ offense, Anxi resisted Kevin Love in a high position. For Kevin Love, Anxi also learned something through the team’s videographer~www.ltnovel.com~ This is a power forward with a very stable chassis. The bounce is not very good, but the lower body is very powerful, and the offensive end is extremely good at three-pointers, so the offensive end is still quite a threat.

Facing Anxi's defense with his back on his back, Kevin Love's defense was still miserable in this game. Zhang Shou asked for the ball from Riki Rubio's hands. Kevin Love made a fake move with his back. Stepping forward, turning around is a jumper.

　　 But Anxi has sealed the angle of his shot, and the ball has hit the iron.

Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound and handed the ball to Tony Parker. The Spurs rushed toward the frontcourt without any stop. Anxi rounded the corner, and then quickly ran backwards, ran to the other side 45 degrees, and received Tony. Parker's pass, a three-pointer, a hit!

The Spurs continued to widen the points difference. The Timberwolves, who were already short of major generals, were unable to resist. Before the second quarter was over, Anxi and the Spurs had completed their tasks. With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the second quarter, Tony Parker made a three-pointer. The Spurs' lead extended to 32 points.

　　 In this way, the Spurs successfully completed the task of clocking in the halftime. In the second half, the Spurs with a big lead lowered the rhythm and slowly consumed the time of the game.

In the end, the game ended and the Spurs won the Timberwolves by 17 points. Anxi also scored 16 points in this game. The relaxed pace of the second half made Anxi score a lot of points. 16 points were considered the highest score for Anxi after the All-Star. According to the media It is said that Anxi's offense hit the rookie wall after the All-Star break, and the defense hit the rookie wall.

After winning the game, the Spurs did not stay too much. They left the target center directly and boarded the plane back to San Antonio~www.ltnovel.com~Bookers are welcome to visit and read the latest, fastest and hottest serial works.
