Chapter 166: Not a single one is gone

Deng Hongfei and Leonard's heads-up attracted many Spurs players to watch, and some media reporters stationed in the filming.

Although he lost the draft, Deng Hongfei has become famous through two stunning performances.

and Leonard seem to have the meaning of becoming a new generation of twin stars of the Spurs.

The heads-up between the two is naturally full of topicality.

Leonard's long arms danced in front of Deng Hongfei, who was also very unaccustomed to this kind of perverted defensive area, dribbling the ball and dodging the ball, and was slow to break through.

Leonard was very serious and put a lot of pressure on Deng Hongfei, and likewise, his strength was excellent.

Deng Hongfei couldn't squeeze out the space.

Seeing this, Ginobili on the sidelines couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Kehuai's defense is really great, if I face a single defense like him, I don't know what to do." ”

Duncan added casually, "Deng needs my cover right now." ”

"Haha."

A crowd laughed good-naturedly.

But Deng Hongfei must solve the problem at hand.

He's up against one of the league's top defenders, and pushing him over is also a challenge to his own limits.

"It's good to protect the ball."

Leonard also had a lot on his mind.

He has been pressing Deng Hongfei and tried to steal many times, but the latter's basic skills are very solid, and he firmly protects and grinds with him.

Although there is no teammate to cover for heads-up, there is also no 24-second limit.

Deng Hongfei showed a lot of patience.

After a hard soak, he finally found space, seized the opportunity to take a step back, opened the gap with Leonard, and pretended to rush to the side of the hand with the ball in his right hand, but then came a clever change of direction.

This feint is very realistic, seizing the opportunity of Leonard being deceived, Deng Hong kicked the ground to speed up, and finally reached Leonard's shoulder.

But before he could control the basketball and make any further movements, a long arm touched the ball from behind him.

Get out of it in an instant.

I only saw the basketball fly off the sideline, hit the base of the basket and bounce back.

"I'll go."

Deng Hongfei was stunned for a while, then shook his head and picked up the ball, "Who is this ball?" ”

"Yours, I'm out of boundary."

Leonard remained expressionless and continued to walk to the defensive position at the top of the arc.

Deng Hongfei took a deep breath and regained possession of the ball.

After making a few tentative steps in a row, he suddenly shot three points!

Leonard's attention was focused and he jumped off the block at the same time.

His blocking hand and momentum all brought strong pressure to Deng Hongfei's shot.

The feeling of the shot has not been recovered for the time being, and coupled with interference, the trajectory of the ball completely deviated from the target and bounced out on the edge of the basket......

Leonard didn't say anything, and the offense exchanged possession.

Deng Hongfei also launched a pressing defense, and just handed the ball up and stuck it to him.

Seeing this, Popovich immediately shook his head, "The center of gravity is pressed too high, I don't grasp it well, and the ball is gone." ”

Udoka also nodded, "This habit is ingrained in his mind, I can see that he sometimes deliberately converges, but sometimes he can't help but show it, in fact, many players have such a problem, always feel that the forward force can bring greater pressure to the opponent, but in fact, too much forward force, will make the center of gravity too forward, resulting in a series of problems such as difficult lateral movement, unable to keep up with the opponent's defensive footsteps." ”

"Well, he still needs to grow." Popovich agreed.

The subsequent development was predicted by the two coaches.

Leonard directly carried Deng Hongfei's pressure and accelerated inward, took a few steps, and successfully carried Deng Hongfei to the side of his body and killed the inside line.

The latter could only raise one hand and slide to move, but Leonard braked violently in the 60-degree mid-to-high area of the basket, changed hands under the crotch, and at the same time took a large step-back jump and smoothly closed the ball to shoot!

Extremely stable!

Hit 2 points!

"Kawai's shooting is really solid."

The Spurs will comment.

Leonard's shooting stability is unquestionable, and the hand shape of each shot is fixed like a machine, so fans also gave this shot a name, called "robot shooting." ”

This speaks volumes about Leonard's strong muscle memory.

The next matchup.

The two sides went back and forth several rounds quickly, and Leonard already led 12-2.

Deng Hongfei only relied on a successful breakthrough layup, but since this breakthrough, he has never found an opportunity.

"No way, I can't be so much worse than him."

There was a flame burning in Deng Hongfei's heart, "I can't force him anymore, the effect is not good." ”

Although it was only a heads-up within the team, both of them were very serious.

Another chance to attack.

Deng Hongfei chose to turn his back to Leonard directly at the top of the arc, dribble with his back, and push in a little bit.

Through the previous fight, he expected that the latter would not press his body forward and push him with all his might.

Sure enough, it really didn't.

Leonard retreated little by little as Deng Hongfei advanced, and his position kept adjusting.

There's always a long arm waiting for an opportunity.

Deng Hongfei's heart was shrouded in a sense of crisis.

Use a strong sense of location to sense the position of the basket.

Suddenly, he lunged forward with all his might, rushing away from Leonard and getting up to hook his hand.

"Boom!"

Hit the front board into the basket!

At 12:4, seeing this scene, Popovich praised: "It's finally a change of strategy." ”

"Ha, it's really hard for ordinary people to want to be one-on-one hard to beat Leonard."

"The difference between heads-up and the whole court is too big, you don't have to worry about blocking and dismantling, you don't have to worry about passing, you can completely let go of your hands and concentrate on defense, and there are few people in the whole league who can face each other."

"So the only way is to use the shot and the back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Hongfei completed an interference with Leonard, and after getting the rebound, he quickly qualified and accelerated without pause!

Leonard followed closely.

Unexpectedly, Deng Hongfei suddenly took off on his knees, drifting in the air, and made a move with his wrist!

"Boom!"

It still felt terrible and didn't hit.

After Leonard turned and sprinted a few steps to get the ball, exiting the three-point line was a long-range shot.

"Huh!"

Diametrically opposed voices, diametrically opposed results.

Leonard's three-pointer pierced the heart, and the score came to 15:4......

"It's a bit of a miserable loss."

Many Spurs players on the sidelines were laughing at them.

Nando De Corlo, who knows Deng Hongfei best, said, "Deng is still better at solving problems without the ball and with his back in the low post. ”

"Yes, he's not a single-player maniac like Nick Young."

"What's more, even a player like Nick Young doesn't necessarily get a favor in a one-on-one with Leonard."

Ginobili agreed.

On the contrary, Duncan opened his eyes wide and smiled, "It's always a happy thing to watch rookies eat deflated." ”

"What's so cool about you?"

Tony Parker was a little puzzled.

"Didn't I make it clear?" Duncan grinned, and his large hand was habitually raised, slamming it towards Parker's head......

And Tony Parker also dodged with great acuity, with a look of disgust, "Take away your hand, it's gone." ”

Just as the two were laughing at each other, a crisp sound like thunder suddenly sounded in the venue!
