Chapter 374: The Semi-Final Dilemma

During the party.

Deng Hongfei seized the opportunity to talk to his teammates about it.

Surprisingly, everyone agreed.

Only a few said that there was something going on at home and that they might not be able to make the trip.

But it doesn't matter, most people have already expressed their opinions, and that's enough.

Especially ** Wei, quite happy, to hear that Deng Hongfei is ready to invite him to China for a trip, not to mention how excited he is.

The first thing he said was, "I heard that your Chinese catering culture is broad and profound, and you kid should take me to see it when the time comes." ”

There is certainly no problem with that.

Last time, they brought GDP and Mills, and they ate all the representative delicacies of Shuangqing City.

Why not take the old man to see it again?

As for the food in other parts of China.

Hehe, I'm sorry, Deng Hongfei really didn't have that idea.

There's no way, it's not that he picks the door, it's just that there are too many Chinese cuisines, and it's good to be able to eat Shuangqing City in one offseason.

——

Playoffs, first round.

Spurs vs. Dallas Mavericks.

This season, the Mavericks have made some reinforcements in the mid-to-late stages.

Some of the more important signings are Rondo and Stoudemire.

The addition of these two people has greatly enhanced the Mavericks' organizational ability and bench firepower.

Although Xiao Si went to New York for a while, he no longer had the courage to compete with the little giants in the past, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse.

He joined the Mavericks in the middle and late stages of the season and played in a total of 23 games, starting one game, averaging 16.6 minutes per game, 10.8 points and 3.7 rebounds, shooting 59% from the field.

The team's leading scorer is Monta Ellis, averaging 18.9 points per game.

Next, Nowitzki averaged 17.3 points per game.

In short, this season's Mavericks, on the whole, are much stronger than the Mavericks who were swept by the Spurs last season.

There are no obvious shortcomings in any position.

It's just a pity that they ran into Spurs.

Spurs this season.

GDP is still stable, and Deng Hongfei and Kehuai Gemini have grown.

The former is the team's top scorer with an average of 20.3 points per game, while the latter is a strong contender for DPOY this year.

These two people sit in the second and third positions, which is simply an insurmountable barrier.

No matter who they are, they have a very high standard on both offensive and defensive ends.

After four rounds, Dallas, who was full of confidence and wanted to prove himself, didn't make a little wave, and was swept by San Antonio again!

Old Shifo, no, the No. 21 rookie, is undoubtedly the best player of the series.

averaged 23.5 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, living up to the name of a rookie.

The stability of the state is amazing.

Deng Hongfei also performed well, compared to the regular season, he has been less restrictive in scoring, averaging only 16 points per game, but his rebounding and assist performances have increased.

8.3 and 9.3 respectively (0.25 is taken as an approximation).

This proves that he puts more effort into the defensive end.

Kawhi Leonard is even more eye-catching.

Not only can he average 19.5 points per game, but he also has 10.3 rebounds and 3.3 steals.

The terrifying double-double comes with top-tier defensive stats.

It can be said that he single-handedly cut off the most powerful firepower of the Mavericks' guard, leaving him with no way to do anything.

Like the Spurs, the Golden State Warriors, who were invincible in the regular season, were just as strong.

They swept the Pelicans in the first round.

The star of the house, Stephen Curry, gave a terrifying performance, averaging 28.5+10.3 per game.

Coming to the second round.

Spurs face the Rockets.

The two teams met several times during the regular season, with a final stage of a fierce battle for the spot.

Although the Spurs had the best laugh, they had a narrow road and met again in the playoffs.

In the first round, the Rockets took a 123-116 lead on the road.

Harden frantically cut a quasi-triple-double of 37 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds to lead the team to victory.

Howard also showed strong bombing ability, repeatedly connecting with Harden and offering violent slam dunks.

Deng Hongfei had a bad hand, and only scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 turnovers in the whole game.

And Kawhi Leonard didn't get too many offensive opportunities, with 13 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

The team's top scorer was Tony Parker with 18 points and eight assists. ‘

Even Duncan and Ginobili's offensive efficiency is not high.

Although judging from the data list, the team's scoring is quite balanced, as if there are more flowers.

However, if you carefully study the small data of both sides, you will know where the Rockets won.

Harden's individual play gave the Rockets strong firepower.

The Rockets outperformed the Spurs in both three-point shots and three-point shots, so they scored more points on almost the same offensive outlet.

The second, San Antonio's second home game.

All home fans are aware that the challenge of this year's playoffs may seem like a rising youth duo and a stronger team than last year, but in reality, the competition is far from comparable to last year.

If they lose again, the Spurs' situation will become quite dangerous.

However, the heavens do not follow people's wishes.

Once again, the Spurs played a game with an extremely low shooting percentage.

No matter how well they play on the defensive end, they can't stand the slump on the offensive end.

He scored only 94 points in the game.

Although it also limited the Rockets' score to less than 100 points, they could only be helpless.

99 to 94, this is the score of both teams in the second game.

With the advantage of two consecutive wins, back to home.

Everyone knows that the Spurs have to get a win or the playoffs are over.

And the atmosphere within the Spurs team is also quite dreary.

** Vicky, Messina, Udoka and other members of the uniform team spent the night discussing the reasons for the failure and making targeted adjustments.

Deng Hongfei and a number of Spurs players such as Ginobili, Leonard, and Duncan also practiced late at night.

They are also reflecting on the reasons for their failures.

Return to your accommodation in the evening.

Deng Hongfei is still working overtime to watch the video of the game, trying to find out what went wrong.

On May 8, 2015, the Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs vs. the Rockets Game 3.

Location, Toyota Center, Houston.

Pre-match analysis and deployment meetings.

**Vicky stood next to the projector and looked around, "Let you go back and figure out, what are you all figuring out?" ”

"Tell me about it."

"Has anyone figured out where our problems are?"

Vicky asked.

Everyone was silent, and no one was the first to be the first bird.

However, Deng Hongfei took the initiative to speak, "I think it is the lack of offensive core point, and the lack of clarity of the offensive core has led to the lack of pertinence of our attack and seems to be a little scattered." ”

"This style of play worked wonders last year, but this year, the teams have strengthened our style and focused on our playing strategy, so we were targeted, and it's normal to be inefficient."

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Vicky said: "So in the third game, I hope you don't be like headless flies anymore, we need to be clear about the point of attack." ”

"Deng Hongfei, as the starting point of the No. 1 position, rush to the basket for me, when you are in the No. 2 position, take the initiative to ask for the ball frame, or judge the situation in the lower low post."

"Tim, you're on the inside, no different!"

"You two are the offensive duo of our team!"

"Kehuai, your job is to act as a link between the two of them, and to give me a needle."

"Hehe, the people outside are saying that we are finished, the third game, prove it to them well, we are not finished!"

The old man held his breath, and he could hear the deep indignation contained in his words.
