Chapter 80: Can't Be Replaced!
When he came on the court, Deng Hongfei seized the time to move the lower joint.
I haven't moved for so long, and the previous warm-up effect is about to disappear, and I feel cold and my muscles are stiff.
But these are no excuses, he knows that he has to take his chances, otherwise he will soon be recaptured by Roylana.
"Hey, Chinese, pass me more in a while, do you hear?"
Suddenly, a slightly lame English voice sounded beside him.
Although the pronunciation is a little inaccurate, the meaning is particularly accurate, especially the teasing command words contained in the tone make Deng Hongfei hear it really.
Turning his head, it was French center Jarte.
The latter condescendingly stretched out his hand and pinched Deng Hongfei's big arm, which often has a little meaning that the strong look down on the weak.
Deng Hongfei pursed his lips and didn't pay much attention to it.
Is the pass a request?
He felt a little funny, and the Frenchman hadn't seen such toughness in Wiggins' presence before.
It's just a matter of bullying the soft and fearing the hard.
It's a pity that it seems to have pinched the wrong person, Deng Hongfei is not a soft persimmon who is easy to talk to.
Compared with the thorny Schroeder, although he doesn't like to speak, he is equally proud in his heart.
"Drip."
A whistle blows.
The World Team's baseline ball was released, and all eyes of the Chinese audience were focused on Deng Hongfei, who had already settled to a 45-degree angle in advance.
He exchanged glances with Karashov, a shooting guard waiting on the baseline.
Then run a few quick steps to block a space for the latter to lift up, and complete the cross rotation in an instant.
Seeing this, Schroeder quickly gave the ball to him, but Karashov didn't get too good a chance to shoot, and the opponent had already made up for it.
So he had to return the ball to Schroeder.
subconsciously looked at Deng Hongfei in the bottom corner, and found that the latter was also looking at him, and instantly understood, and went down to repay Deng Hongfei with his old tricks.
The latter sprinted up before Karashov could stand still, returning to a position at an angle of 45 degrees.
In less than ten seconds, the two men completed two cross-changes in the same area.
This time, Aaron Gordon, who was defending Deng Hongfei, was blocked by Karashov and did not follow up at the first time.
Harrison, who switched defenses, was also a little slower.
But Deng Hongfei did not seize the opportunity to shoot, but received a pass from Schroder and took a false shot.
Directly shook Harrison up.
Take the initiative to rub up and throw the ball.
"Drip."
The whistle blew at the right time, and the three-point shooting foul! Three free throws!
The Chinese fans at the scene immediately cheered.
"Whew."
The players of the U.S. team immediately stepped forward to complain to the referee, while Deng Hongfei took a deep breath and walked to the free throw line.
"Hey, Chinese, why didn't you just throw that ball directly?"
Jatay stood on the sideline of the paint and shouted.
Deng Hongfei cast his disdainful gaze at the right time, and responded coldly: "Mind your." ”
"Hahaha."
At the top of the arc, Schroeder heard the conversation between the two men and laughed out loud without a figurative expression.
He looked at Deng Hongfei with a hint of interest, he thought that this was an interesting Chinese, at least his personality was very appetizing.
"This guy is very smart."
From the stands, onlookers saw it clearly.
Aldridge bowed his head approvingly, "He is very smart, he sat down for so long before he played, and his hand must have been cold, so he didn't rush to shoot three points, but chose a more secure way, because he knew that if he didn't seize the opportunity, he would probably be replaced by the coach in a short time." ”
"It's kind of interesting, but smart is smart, and scoring in a basketball game is not just a matter of touching porcelain."
Roy smiled mysteriously, "Look at it, it won't let you down." ”
"Oh, okay."
While speaking, Deng Hongfei made two free throws.
It still doesn't feel good after playing.
Back to the defense, Deng Hongfei faced Aaron Gordon, the latter was strong behind his back in a low position, and the latter was thick, 206cm tall, a cut taller than Deng Hongfei.
There is no advantage at all in the figure.
Gordon took two steps on his back, turned one step back, rolled over and jumped to throw.
Deng Hongfei tried his best to block and try to interfere, but the ball still fell into the bag with the basket.
"It's completely misplaced, and I still can't prevent it."
In the stands, Aldridge shook his head repeatedly.
Roy said, "It's not an excuse, Kobe Bryant often defends small forwards, but he doesn't suffer much, players who are taller than themselves need to have skills, this kid needs to sum up experience in this kind of alignment, he needs to know that this is no longer the NCAA, but the NBA, most small forwards in the NBA want him to be tall, and there will inevitably be misalignments, so you have to learn how to limit opponents who are taller than you." ”
"I see what you mean." Aldridge nodded, "Has his defense always been at this level?" ”
"Don't worry, he's a very smart guy, and Gordon won't be playing so smoothly in the next round."
While the two were talking, many scouts also took notes on this round of offense and defense - "Chris Deng, weak in defensive low-post shooting. ”
But that's how Roylana set it up.
He arranged Deng Hongfei, who is 196cm tall, to replace Andrew Wiggins as a small forward, so he could only play against Aaron Gordon.
"Hey, let's change the guard."
Deng Hongfei whispered to Karashov, "You are 201cm tall, you have an advantage over me, let's change the defense and see the effect." ”
"Okay." Karashov didn't think much about it and agreed directly.
But this change between the two did make Roylana on the sidelines quickly see the clues.
Karashov frequently appears at the small forward position, which makes it impossible for his three-point ability to blossom perfectly.
"What a fuss!"
Roylana crossed his waist in annoyance.
But fortunately, after a few rounds, there was no big problem.
"Bottom line, bottom line."
Harrison shouted.
Deng Hongfei's running position is quite a chicken thief, and he was thrown behind by the latter's dodging and moving several times, but fortunately, the ball was not given at the first time.
But this time, Deng Hongfei just slipped to the bottom corner of the other side, and received the ball from Charles on the inside.
Steady his breath, he aimed at the back edge of the basket and threw it with his hands open.
This goal, he must score!
It's just that the moment he made a move, he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
The shooting action that has been practiced countless times in the past has been slightly deformed under the high pressure of the court.
And it is this small deformation, and the final result is likely to be a millimeter of error, a thousand miles away.
So he immediately accelerated and rushed to the basket.
Even if the ball doesn't hit as he wants, he has to grab the rebound.
Can't be replaced, never!
Deng Hongfei's eyes burned with a strong will.
