The Houston Rockets game against the San Antonio Spurs is getting closer.

Because Deng Hongfei's name appeared in the list, it made this already highly concerned competition for the top two in the west more interesting.

Before the game, relevant Chinese media sent reporters in the United States to the Toyota Center, the home of the Rockets, to prepare for various interviews.

The Spurs' bus had just pulled into the Toyota Center garage.

Countless reporters flocked to it.

The dense microphone was aimed at Popovich, who got out of the car first.

"Coach Greg, will Deng Hongfei play in today's game?"

This is the most important question for reporters on the spot.

However, Popovich couldn't answer him, he just tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The game started soon, you guys are really impatient." ”

With these words, he coldly broke out of the encirclement and threw the problem to the others behind him.

Until Deng Hongfei appeared, everyone seemed to have found focus.

Countless flashes lit up at the same time.

It flashed so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

This situation was expected a long time ago.

"Deng Hongfei, Deng Hongfei, may I ask you to reappear in the squad, will you play in today's game?"

Although wait a little while for the game to start.

But all the media want to grab the first-hand news and send out the much-anticipated news as far in advance as possible.

Faced with this question, Deng Hongfei just shook his head, "Whether or not to play depends on the coach's arrangement, I have nothing to say." ”

He wittily threw the pot back at Popovich, who was already far away from the battlefield.

Seeing that there was nothing out of his mouth, the media was still full of confidence, "It has been almost five and a half months since the news of the Nuggets were injured after the Nuggets game on November 5, 2013, how have you recovered from your injury during this time?" ”

"Okay."

Deng Hongfei's answer was very brief, and he knew very well what these media wanted to do.

After finally coping with it, he finally arrived in the Spurs' locker room.

As soon as he entered, he drew a unanimous laugh from his teammates, "Our troubled big star has finally gotten rid of the camera's defense." ”

Deng Hongfei waved his hand embarrassedly, signaling not to make too much noise.

Then he peeked at Popovich in fear, and saw that the latter did not react much, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want Bobo to be disgusted with him because of these off-court factors.

For this uncertain coach, Deng Hongfei is always uncertain and in awe.

"Okay, let's talk about the starters later."

Udoka, as the spokesperson, stood up for Popovich to make the waiting tactical deployment.

"Number five, Tim Duncan."

"Four, Aaron Baines."

"No. 3, Deng Hongfei."

"Number two, Marco Belinelli."

"No. 1, Tony Parker."

The moment the starting list was announced.

In fact, most people didn't react much, but Deng Hongfei stared at him in surprise.

He didn't expect to start.

First start in your career?!

Although it was based on the rotation of Kawhi Leonard, the coach did let him start.

Position three?

It doesn't matter, he has faith.

Deng Hongfei's whole body was full of boiling and burning blood.

He can't wait to get on the pitch and wants to play.

And the Houston Rockets are a strong team, a team that can really test their abilities.

Although he hasn't played for five-and-a-half months, he is not worried about his abilities.

"I don't need to go into too much detail about the key players of the other side, right?"

Udoka walked over to the tactical blackboard, picked up a magnet, and glued it to the No. 2 position, "James Harden." ”

"The absolute heart of the Houston Rockets, one of the strong contenders for MVP, and one of the best scoring guards in the league."

"I don't need to talk about ability."

"You have all seen videos and videos, his technical characteristics are very distinct, Deng Hongfei, you, the main defense."

Udoka pointed at Deng Hongfei.

Unlike the news that the latter has just started, this decision seems to be more responsive to the rest of the Spurs roster.

A lot of eyes fell on Deng Hongfei.

There is both compassion and encouragement.

As a rookie player, he has just made a comeback, and although he has been given the opportunity to start, he will go head-to-head with one of the best shooting guards in the league.

It's definitely a great test.

In the past, he became famous and famous.

If you can't get by, you don't know what kind of ending you will be waiting for......

There are many possibilities, such as having your confidence shattered, being overwhelmed by the taunts, and being questioned by the coaching staff......

In this regard, Deng Hongfei himself took a deep breath, and his fighting spirit was burning.

Udoka didn't bother with the inner drama of the players.

He continued his tactical arrangement, and another magnet was attached to the position of the Rockets' fifth position, "Dwight Howard, you must cut off the connection between him and Harden, you must not let these two people connect successfully, you need to be careful with his downward cut after blocking and dismantling, and then relay in the air." ”

"Tim, be careful."

"Hmm."

Duncan bowed his head slightly.

Udoka wasn't very worried about him......

The same tactical setup was being done in the Rockets locker room.

Head coach McHale also got the Spurs' starting lineup.

He wondered how the other side would start a rookie player who had been out injured for so long.

I don't know what kind of defensive strategy the Spurs will use, he just briefly mentioned, "This Deng Hongfei is this year's undrafted rookie, but he has had a more wonderful performance in the regular season games he played, and today the Spurs will take him directly to the starter, and he must have some trust in his ability, so you must be careful." ”

McHale's side really lacks understanding of Deng Hongfei, so he can only say so.

In the spotlight.

The vast Toyota Center set off a boom throughout the venue.

On a large screen hanging over the stadium, the starting lists of both teams were played at the right time.

Chinese fans who sat in front of their TVs and computers to watch the game saw it in due course.

Deng Hongfei's avatar actually appeared in the starting No. 3 position of the Spurs.

This immediately surprised many people.

Even the two commentators in Sina's live broadcast room couldn't help cheering in unison.

At the player's tunnel.

The players of both sides of the field practice collected the ball and dispersed, and returned to the players' tunnel to prepare for the entrance ceremony!

Away San Antonio Spurs came on first.

The substitutes came out first.

Then there was Marco Belinelli, Deng Hongfei, Baines, Parker, Duncan finale.

When Deng Hongfei appeared, the entire Toyota Center erupted in thunderous applause.

A large number of Chinese fans burst out with their energy.

But then the Rockets' starting five tigers debuted, which triggered an even more frenzied wave of full-court action.

Especially James Harden, as the cornerstone of the Rockets, is even more of a tsunami.

Fans held up huge banners and shook them desperately, as well as the heads of Harden and Howard.

However, for Chinese fans, this game is still a "special" Chinese derby.

It's not just about watching the dialogue between the two powers.

You can also watch Deng Hongfei and Jeremy Lin, two yellow-skinned and black-eyed players, compete on the same field.
