One offseason gone, he's getting stronger again.

Chandler Parsons thought so.

Although the Spurs played with a remnant, they started off well.

Perhaps Deng Hongfei boosted the team's morale on the defensive end, and after three minutes of play, the Spurs temporarily led by five points at 9-4.

On the Maverick's side, the feel is not open for the time being.

And the defense didn't show the strength of the cards.

I don't know if it's a tacit problem or if the players haven't recovered from the offseason for the time being.

From the pitch, the Spurs are clearly getting into the groove faster.

However, these 9 points have nothing to do with Deng Hongfei, he played for more than 180 seconds, and he has not yet made a shot, only got 1 steal and 1 rebound, and that's it.

Because the cut ball once went directly out of the bottom line, it was not considered a steal.

The numbers are bleak, but the effect on the field is quite obvious.

In Leonard's absence, he completely strangled Monta-Ellis, and Parsons.

He constantly changed defenses and repeatedly helped to put the defense in place, successfully limiting the opponent's attack.

The Spurs uniform team off the field is quite satisfied.

Messina said admiringly, "Deng's performance in the second position is really better than I expected. ”

'He's a fast-paced player who doesn't work the offensive end and gives it his all defensively.

Vicky laughed: "You don't think about how he played." ”

"After losing the draft, there was almost no team to ask for it, can you understand what kind of mentality the players are like in that situation?"

"If you don't take advantage of the limited playing time to show your strength, you will be abandoned, how can you leave them to slow down?"

When Messina heard this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It's true, so some players who have risen from the bench often have unimaginable energy in their bodies." ”

"Speaking of which, he really fits the Spurs' system, not greedy for merit, not dominating the ball."

"It seems like a perfect No. 2 position for you."

"That's a must."

Vicky has never been modest, smiling and smug, "Don't look at who I am." ”

——

But the fans were in a hurry to see it.

You're running around the court, but you're shooting, what does it mean not to shoot?

Deng Hongfei didn't take it very seriously.

In the first game, he was actually warming up.

At the same time, it also confirms some offseason ideas.

In his opinion, any sport actually needs to be considered, not just manual labor.

For example, how to read the game, how to integrate into the team better, and find the balance between offense and defense.

It's a very deep knowledge.

His style of play made it difficult for Monta-Ellis and Parsons.

Both men began to consciously avoid Deng Hongfei's defense and went in search of the soft persimmon Belinelli pinch.

As the former star of the Warriors, Monta Ellis is no longer the super knife who averages 20 per game and crisscrosses the league, but he is still sharp.

He rushed out with one lunge, and after passing Belinelli, the afterglow swept to Deng Hongfei, who was on the side and separated from him for a considerable distance.

With a big heart, he rushed headlong into the Spurs basket without losing momentum.

Duncan was pulled away from the mountain by Nowitzki.

Only Matt Bonner is left on the inside.

Ellis kicked to the ground, as fast as a rushing missile, and the ball flew towards the basket.

As the person concerned, Matt Bonner could feel the horror of Ellis's momentum the most, and he was afraid to step forward.

He wasn't meant to be a defensive power forward.

However, from the audience's point of view, they noticed that Deng Hongfei was rushing after him from diagonal rear.

He was as fast as a hurricane.

He rolled up behind Ellis and jumped up as Ellis jumped.

The ape arm is stretched out, and Mount Tai is overwhelming.

Ellis felt it faintly, but Deng Hongfei was in the blind spot of his vision, and he couldn't see it between the lights and flints.

You can only pick up the basket by feeling.

However, the vision was immediately clouded by the overwhelming darkness.

The dark shadow covered his eyes, and at the same time, like a nightmare, weighed on his psyche.

I only heard a crisp "pop" in my ears!

The wind blew fiercely past his ears, and the basketball, which was still on the way up, was violently instigated, forcibly changed its trajectory, turned its head and slammed back on the rebound.

Before Ellis could come to his senses, he saw that Matt Bonner had picked up the rebound and launched a fast break!

How could it be!

Ellis was dumbfounded, and his gaze was in disbelief at Deng Hongfei, who was rushing towards his own half.

Just now, he was obviously so far away from himself.

So far away to help defend?

With such a long line of defense, isn't he afraid of passing the ball himself and then Chandler Parsons on the outside with an open three-pointer?

It's useless to think about it more.

The Spurs scored on a fast break, and Ginobili, who came off the bench, hit a backhand layup with a snake step.

With the score at 19-8, the San Antonio Spurs already led by 11 points, with just over four minutes left in the first quarter.

The passive situation forced Mavericks coach Carlisle to call a timeout.

"What's going on?"

"Didn't you wake up? It's the regular season of the new season, so many preseason games, haven't you found your game fitness? ”

In a hurry, Carlisle's tone was inevitably a little impatient.

He was extremely annoyed when he saw the team's mental head.

At the same time, he was also amazed by Deng Hongfei's defensive ability in the second position.

In the rookie season, Deng Hongfei's defense was good, but after an offseason, his defense became stronger.

There were several rounds of amazing performances, and it was simply breathtaking.

However, there are more tough people in the NBA.

The Mavericks lineup isn't bad either.

A detailed tactic was laid out.

Both sides are back on the pitch.

Compared to Carlisle's irritability, Vic is relatively calm, and he doesn't explain much.

just made a simple substitution adjustment, won Deng Hongfei, and played in the second lineup.

He and D'Antoni have very different styles.

The latter is that no matter how many points the lead is, the main force will be asked to stay on the court as much as possible to ensure the lead.

Vicky is different, no matter how the Spurs fall behind and how they lead, he will rotate personnel according to the actual rhythm.

This helps to bring out the best in different players, while also protecting star players from injury due to fatigue after overwork.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Deng Hongfei returned to the court when there were 8 minutes and 40 seconds left in the second quarter.

He was in the second position.

As soon as he came up this time, he got a chance to make a move.

Running out of space in the bottom corner, he receives Parker's burst pass.

The passing power is very good, and the position of the pass is also up and down the waist, so it is comfortable to pick up.

After a pause, he threw his first basket of the season!
