The ball spun in the sky and fell.

Drill straight into the mesh.

Deng Hongfei maintained the shape of his hand when he shot and made a swooping celebration pose.

Celebrate the start of the new season.

The first shot hits and makes people feel happy.

This also confirms his thoughts.

In fact, playing in the NBA, the most important thing is mentality.

Most players in the league will treat every shot with the attitude of the game as soon as they get on the court.

However, this mentality tends to increase psychological stress and cause muscle tension, so the hit rate is greatly reduced compared to training.

In fact, it is completely possible to calm down as much as possible and shoot every basket with a relaxed posture during training.

This way the hit rate will be much more stable.

After a good start, it was a flurry of goals.

Deng Hongfei frequently got opportunities off the ball.

His form is unexpectedly stable.

In the final minute of the second quarter, he made a total of four three-pointers and a drifting jumper that took advantage of the pick-and-roll.

Without exception, all hits.

It's frighteningly efficient.

Obviously, the score in the first quarter was still zero.

In just eight minutes of the second quarter, his score rose to 14 points.

None of the free throws showed his fearsome mid-to-long-range shooting ability.

Fortunately, the calf's condition is also starting to pick up.

In the last three minutes, Nuo Tianwang continued to shoot and scored mid-to-high jump shots, scoring 8 points in a row to forcibly stabilize the difference.

The two sides battled to 58-53, and the Spurs temporarily led by five points.

"Ettore, do you have any good views on the current situation?"

Halftime, in the Spurs locker room.

**Vicky clasped his hands in front of his chest, sat on the chair and crossed his legs, looking like an old god was there.

He looked at Messina and asked a little lazily.

Although he is an assistant coach, Messina's qualifications and abilities are here, and Vicky communicates with him a lot, so he knows his abilities very well.

It's not the same as Udoka.

Udoka is here to learn the tactical thinking of the Vic, and his status is more like an apprentice.

And Messina was invited by the Spurs to assist ** Vic, and his status is more like the prime minister.

At this time, Prime Minister Mei spoke, "I think the other party has signs of recovery, and this sign is Dirk's middle and high-level ability." ”

"He's brought Thiem out repeatedly, which has left us with an empty interior defense, a drop in our ability to protect the basket, and a lot of opportunities for Dallas' outside shooters, so we're going to kill that."

"I think Tim just needs to stick to the inside, Dirk doesn't have to worry about it."

"Burrese, Matt, Aaron, any of the three of you will play and be responsible for defending Dirk."

"The basket has to be given to Tim, we need his ability to protect the basket."

"On the outside, I think we're doing a pretty good job."

"Deng Hongfei's defense was very good, Parsons was very uncomfortable, and he continued to hold it in the second half."

"Danny, you just have to go up and limit Ellis as soon as you get there, he's a player who likes to shoot inside, his three-point shooting ability is average, and he doesn't need to be too wary of long-range shots."

"Their No. 1 position Nielsen needs to focus on defense, and last season, Nielsen averaged 12 points per game and shot more than 40% of his three-point shots.

A great arrangement, extremely detailed.

Hearing this, the players nodded their heads again and again.

After that, ** Vic just made a summary next to him, "Coach Messina is right, in the third quarter, Parker, Danny Green, Deng Hongfei, Baines, Duncan, you five go first." ”

"Especially Aaron, help me give Dirk strength, definitely can't make this old guy comfortable, don't stop because of his age, what's wrong with the old guy? Who isn't an old man anymore? ”

Vicky's eyes widened.

The atmosphere was suddenly relaxed, and everyone held back their laughter, not daring to laugh out loud, for fear of being picked out by this bad old man who was a Pipi shrimp.

——

The third quarter begins.

The Mavericks were also the starters of the first half.

The Spurs are the five people who were arranged by Vicky.

Dirk Nowitzki suddenly felt quite uncomfortable.

Duncan was no longer guarding against him.

Instead, it was replaced by a bandit-like Baines.

Although Baines is not as tall as him and can't block his shooting, this outrageous guy moves a lot and controls it well.

It's like a, which makes him extremely uncomfortable.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle saw the changes on the court for the first time, and immediately used an opportunity to serve a baseline ball to teach the boxing champion a face-to-face opportunity, "Tyson, have you seen Baynes' defense of Dirk?" With the same defense, give me the consumption of Duncan. ”

"Okay."

Compared to Baines, Chandler was more of a bandit leader.

The bandit temperament on that face is especially intimidating with a pair of imposing tiger eyes.

In other words, an average player can't help but be stunned just by making eye contact with him.

But who is Duncan?

A high-achieving student in psychology, he is a natural person who is moody and angry, and has a bad stomach.

It is also a social person who in the thatched house and faces outward.

How can you be so frightened?

You stare at him, and his eyes can be bigger than yours.

You said that your killing intent was awe-inspiring, and he reciprocated it.

In the face of the boxing king's tough defense, he looked very calm, he simply did not ask for the ball in the low position, but frequently came to the upper line to cover Deng Hongfei and them.

It becomes a limiting factor in interspersed movements.

It's like playing Tai Chi, you want to give him a strong one, but he uses his soft strength to make you nowhere to go.

Chandler is like that.

I tried my best to knock the opponent to the death, but I didn't expect the opponent to play with you at all.

A punch in the air, all uncomfortable.

On the contrary, it also caused the Mavericks to have the same situation as the Spurs in the first half.

The defensive gate on the inside was pulled out, creating an empty space under the basket.

Nowitzki's defensive ability is limited, not to mention, Aaron Baines is also a very mobile bandit.

He's scurrying around the field.

The physical strength of the Heavenly King is extremely depleted.

One trades off the other.

The Spurs quickly opened up the gap under the strong performance of the outside group led by Deng Hongfei.

By the last three minutes of the third quarter, the Spurs had a 16-point lead at 82-66.

Although the Mavericks tried their best to fight back, they still couldn't stop the formation of the decline.

After several substitutions and adjustments.

The Spurs changed the lineup again, taking the small lineup of No. 1 Ginobili, No. 2 Belinelli, No. 3 Baynes, No. 4 Bonner, and No. 5 Dior.

There is no absolute center and basket protector in this lineup.

Led by Dior, play a small and fast crossing tactic.

The pace of the game suddenly increased, further expanding the score.

By the end of the third quarter, the Spurs had a 22-point lead.

Carlisle closed his eyes speechlessly.

He didn't expect to be beaten in the first game of the new season.

In vain, he was still looking forward to the new squad after the game, and now it looks like it is not as competitive as last season.

Hopefully, that's just the reason why the players didn't get into the groove at the beginning.

He thought so.
