Chapter 296: The Scalpel and the Electric Hammer

Popovich was not far away, and he actually heard the conversation between the two men very clearly.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but he didn't say anything from beginning to end.

A young player like Deng Hongfei needs the help of an experienced veteran player like Ginobili to understand something.

The rookie wall is actually a test of the rookie's heart.

The defensive pressure and responsibility on his shoulders are no longer what Deng Hongfei is facing now.

Whether it is the fans or the coaches, the demands and hopes for him are increasing day by day.

When he first entered the league, maybe he could play five minutes per game and score three or four points, which would be satisfying.

But now, there is no doubt that such an answer is a failure.

Listening to whispers from around the locker room, Popovich's mind slowly came to mind the lineup to be lined up for the opening of the second half.

He had seen the Heat's video before, Spoelstra would usually play with the main force in the first three minutes of the third quarter, replace some of the main players in the middle of the game, come on the bench lineup, and in the last four or five minutes, he would play the main force again.

Then at the beginning of the fourth quarter, LeBron James or Dwyane Wade usually played with a group of benches for a period of time, and in the last seven or eight minutes, the main force will be exhausted and strive for victory.

With a rough estimate in mind, Popovich decided to continue with the lineup for the second half of the second quarter.

No. 1 Ginobili.

No. 2 Deng Hongfei.

No. 3 Leonard.

Fourth, Duncan.

Christian Dior was replaced, and Split was placed in the number five position.

The latter has a stronger ability to protect the basket and can suppress LeBron James's rushing basket to the greatest extent.

With that in mind.

After the start of the third quarter, the lineup sent by the Heat was as he expected.

No. 1 at Chanmos, No. 2 at Wade, No. 3 at James, No. 4 at Lewis, No. 5 at Bosh.

The biggest pitfall in this lineup is the large number of shooters.

Except for the two big cores James and Wade, almost everyone in the two and three points has an accurate mid-to-long-range projection.

However, James and Wade are both players who are good at breaking through the score.

Therefore, Popovich also specifically told to pay attention to the defense on the outside.

The rhythm of the music on the scene is like a majestic war song, and the magnificent melody encourages the fighting spirit of the players on the field.

The fiery red fighting spirit of the sky soared into the sky, converging in the sky above the AT&T arena, condensing into a scorching torrent.

The Spurs started attacking first.

Deng Hongfei took full step forward, showing a completely different off-ball attitude from before.

It was as if in an instant, he was back to the way he was in the regular season.

Although he encountered more serious confrontation and interference in the process of running without the ball, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

In the process, Deng Hongfei began to understand that the reason why he was afraid before may be because he was deliberately avoiding these interference factors with the surge in intensity.

The team is stronger, the competition is fiercer, and the competition environment is more severe.

This is either you die or I die, the finals, the stage of the championship!

They are competing against the strongest team in the entire NBA league.

Therefore, treating the finals with the same attitude as the regular season or the previous playoffs is destined to not work.

Finally got a chance through the run.

But the space to shoot is not too good.

Deng Hongfei remembered what Ginobili said to him, hoping that he could provide more powerful help to the team on the offensive end.

So he raised the ball and shook a shot, deceived Wade's center of gravity, accelerated when he gritted his teeth and released the ball, and burst in under pressure.

But within a few steps, he was confronted by Chris Bosh's tough changeover.

The body collided violently with the latter.

I don't know which string was stirred, Deng Hongfei reacted immediately at the moment of collision, lifted the ball and forcibly got up to shoot.

Bosh jumped at the same time to block, but he underestimated Deng's ability to stay in the air.

The latter barely balanced in the air without falling to the ground, twisted his waist and threw the ball out in an extremely awkward position.

Although it was not scored, the referee blew the whistle at the right time.

Blew for a foul on Bosh.

Deng Hongfei walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath, and hit one of two free throws.

Some frustrated patted their heads, and actively defended.

Although the attack only scored one point, it was a good start to the Spurs' second half.

In particular, the spirit he showed made the coaching staff's eyes shine.

Relying on superstars to fight each other to solve problems will eventually come to an impasse.

And at this time, if someone can become the strongest X-factor, it will undoubtedly become the key point to break the balance.

Popovich and Udoka locked their eyes on the young Oriental figure, hoping that the latter would become the strongest X-factor to break the supergiant's rivalry.

44-43 is still a score that makes people's hearts beat out.

The initiative is back on the Heat's side.

LeBron James controlled possession and several other points pulled away at the same time, smashing the ball between his steel arms.

The dribble is calm and powerful.

Kawhi Leonard concentrated his strength, his two king-cobra-like arms slightly open, and they didn't spread out flat.

It's about avoiding James' pull-up jumper at any time.

But even so, the defensive area that comes with his long arms is considerable.

James forced his way to the ground and blasted into the depths with a devastating pace, and Kawhi Leonard stepped up to the top with his long arms looking for holes to get his hands on the ball and get out of control.

It's just that James is very stable, even if Leonard lightly touches the surface of the basketball, he forcibly controls the ball in his hands.

Seeing Duncan step in from the side to make up for the defense, James tossed lightly.

Drop to Bosh waiting under the basket.

Bosh caught the ball, shook his wrist and hit the board directly, looking at his lightning-like shot, for fear that he would be capped off by the stone Buddha who came back to his senses if he slowed down a minute.

The goal was scored.

At 44-45, the Heat took the lead again.

Coming back, Ginobili made a tactical gesture of Post Sets and continued to play Duncan.

The Heat's formation immediately moved quickly, forming a no-ball wrap.

So, at Duncan's point, he could only see the stone Buddha stretching out his pitiful breathing hand on the water.

The whole person was completely overwhelmed by the two of the Heat's two.

Manu was helpless and couldn't give it, so he could only pass it to Kehuai.

The bottom line.

Deng Hongfei was at full power, and he slipped to the bottom at a speed.

Running in circles, double reverse running, staggered running.

He is like a ghost, and his tireless running makes Wade very difficult to defend, and in the confrontation in the run, he and Deng Hongfei actually bear the same amount.

The Heat's defense hindered Deng's run.

Similarly, Spurs' cover is hindering his defense.

After a few laps, Wade felt that his physical strength was more than several times that of his usual state.

But he didn't dare to let his guard down.

was dragged by Deng Hongfei every step of the way.

He began to discover the perversion of this Chinese.

Like Ray Allen, he always finds openings, and even stronger than Ray Allen, his stamina, speed, and versatility of pace prevail.

If Ray Allen's off-ball run is a clean scalpel, he happily falls into the open space to catch the ball and shoot.

Then Deng Hongfei is more like a fast-rotating electric hammer, which can not only drill but also hammer, with both penetration and compulsion.
