The starting line-ups were:

San Antonio Spurs –

No. 5, Tim Duncan

Fourth, Aaron Baines

No. 3, Deng Hongfei

Position two, Marco Belinelli

No. 1, Tony Parker

Houston Rockets –

No. 5: Dwight Howard

No. 4: Terrence Jones

No. 3: Chandler Parsons

No. 2: James Harden

No. 1: Patrick Beverley

Jeremy Lin didn't start, and in fact midway through the season, he was replaced by Beverley, who was better defensively.

The latter's Mad Dog-style defense at the No. 1 position is exactly what Rockets coach McHale likes.

Ready to get started.

Deng Hongfei kept taking deep breaths, wearing a gray jersey and tightening the elastic band of his shorts, standing on the periphery of the center circle, and the person in charge of defending him was Chandler Parsons, the Rockets' No. 3 position.

This rich and handsome player has a lot of female fans because of his good looks.

Deng Hongfei stood with him, which immediately triggered a crazy comparison of female fans.

Howard Duncan jumps the ball in the middle circle.

With the referee's long-lost opening whistle cutting through the sky.

The basketball was thrown high into the air.

"Warcraft" Howard jumped forward, went straight up, completely crushed Duncan and put the ball in Harden's hands.

The latter immediately raised a fist, and the rocket crowd willingly ran away and fell into position, and the first wave of attacks began!

Deng Hongfei stood in front of Harden.

The Chinese fans in front of the screen couldn't help but hold their breath and watched the two of them face each other with straight eyes.

This is the star of the house who faces the opponent directly.

Even the two commentators in the Sina live broadcast room couldn't help but say, "The task given to Deng Hongfei by the Spurs coaching staff is quite arduous. ”

"Defending Harden is also a big test for Deng Hongfei."

"However, this also fully shows that Coach Popovich trusts Deng Hongfei's ability very much, and he has just returned to the role of starter."

"On the defensive end, I also put him at the No. 2 position to defend Harden."

This is indeed the case.

Deng Hongfei didn't dare to slack off, and Harden's offensive ability was obvious to all.

He's definitely a supergiant at the top of the league's No. 2 position.

Terrence Jones blocked Deng Hongfei's side and wanted to block Harden.

Deng Hongfei's attention was quite concentrated, and he made a judgment in advance, bypassed Jones's block, and took a step forward to continue to block in front of Harden.

But at the same time, the latter suddenly accelerated to start.

The body as strong as a calf slammed into Deng Hongfei fiercely and forced himself into the inner line.

Deng Hongfei immediately adjusted his pace and chased after him.

Inside!

Aaron Baines stepped over and spread his arms to try to stop Harden.

But the latter's ball-handler deftly flipped the ball over and hit the ball in the opposite direction, hitting it to the unmarked and quickly cutting inside into the paint.

The latter flew to the basket and hit the board!

Opener, 2:0.

The first alignment, the effect was not too good, Deng Hongfei was not able to limit Harden's breakthrough.

But he didn't panic and ran to the opponent's half to attack.

While fans are a little disappointed, they all understand that it's not easy to limit a superstar.

When Tony Parker received the ball, he was chased by Beverley's full-court defense.

He controlled the ball all the way and turned around, and finally passed the half, and immediately handed the ball to Marco Belinelli, who was lifted up under the cover of Duncan and Baines.

The Italian god pitcher catches the ball and throws a hollow shot.

2:3, the top two in the West both showed good competitive condition at the beginning.

The game is just getting into the rhythm.

Fans are looking forward to the scenes they are looking forward to.

Deng Hongfei defended Harden again, learned the lesson of the last time, and sure enough, Terrence Jones came up again.

This time, he made a judgment more in advance and moved sideways into place.

It's just that Harden changed his rhythm and didn't rush to break through, but leisurely changed hands under his crotch, which was slow but solid.

His dribbling gives an unassailable sense of solidity.

The basics are terrible.

Suddenly, he lowered his center, and the trend of dribbling under his crotch gradually moved forward, and Deng Hongfei's eyes were focused on Harden's movements.

Cold, the latter suddenly took a step back with the basketball, opened up the space, and shot quickly.

Deng Hongfei flew up at the first time, and the basketball passed through his fingertips and went straight to the basket.

There is nothing that can be done.

The crimson afterimage dragged its long tail through a perfect arc like rainbow light, and slammed into the center of the basket with precision.

Splashing waves!

Harden's unique stunt - three steps back.

Relying on this hand is a big headache for many defenders in the league.

Too sudden, too fast, too fluid, too accurate.

"It seems that it is still a little difficult to use Deng to contain Harden."

Udoka dragged his chin and said thoughtfully.

"It's only been two rounds and I need to see Deng's improvement, because as a young player, you have to learn to reflect and summarize," Popovich said. ”

"Well, you put him in the starting lineup just to take advantage of the next games to hone his experience, let him play against superstars more, and prepare for the playoffs."

"Of course."

Popovich didn't deny it, "I can feel that his confidence is a lot stronger than when he first entered the league, and obviously he feels good about himself in this special training, so I am willing to give him a chance to show it." ”

——

The game continued.

Parker was a little irritable under Beverley's bite, and it took several times more energy and time than usual to get through the half.

Finally, the Rockets' defensive formation has stood extremely firm.

Post Sets low.

Popovich once said that when facing the bucket formation, he opened up space to find Duncan.

Use this stable strong point to tear the opponent's inside line.

Superstars are always the easiest way for a team to solve problems.

Defending Duncan at this time was Dwight Howard.

Compared to other interior lines, Warcraft's defensive ability, athleticism, strength, and movement ability are all superior.

Although he is now past the peak of his magic period, he is still not to be underestimated.

Duncan took advantage of the solid position to firmly carry Howard and received the ball that fell high.

Sensed the surrounding situation, did not face the bag.

He suddenly turned around, raised the basketball directly to the basket, made a simple probing step, and slammed the ball to accelerate the kill!

Raise the long arm and raise the fire to the sky!

In the face of Dwight Howard's strong defense, the big hook throws strongly!

5:5, tied.

After the switch, Harden received the basketball again.

He directly released the ball to accelerate!

Deng Hongfei felt a strong aggression in his body.

Hurriedly slid to follow, holding one hand high to prevent Harden from suddenly getting up and making a move.

The other hand is to push Harden's momentum and act as a cushion.

However, the latter suddenly stopped suddenly, and at the same time pulled the ball back and jumped step, jumped vertically, held the ball with his left hand, and shot in two points!

However, this time, he misestimated Deng Hongfei's height and reach.

The latter jumped into the air and stretched out his arms as hard as he could!

It just touched the rising basketball and changed its trajectory.

Cap!
