Chapter 267: Hope in the Midst of Despair
"It's the age of the Internet, and it's impossible for you not to know the news that's making a lot of noise on the Internet right now, right?"
"yes, don't you have a little bit to say about it?"
"What?"
Deng Hongfei looked around blankly, he was completely stunned by these questions thrown by his head and face.
What false endorsements, what Internet?
He stiffened and put on a slightly embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, I've been focusing on the game lately, I'm not online, I don't know what happened, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
"Sorry, no comment."
At this moment, ** Vicky came over from behind, directly pulled away the group of reporters, and then raised his head at Udukayan, signaling him to take Deng Hongfei down.
The latter knew what to do, pulled Deng Hongfei's clothes, and took him away from the gaze of everyone.
"What's going on?"
Deng Hongfei is still confused.
Udoka shrugged, "A bunch of boring people, ignore them, there's a coach to deal with, you don't have to worry." ”
"Those people mentioned the Internet, what happened?"
"What can happen? As a Chinese player, you have a strong topic, you don't need to care about that, your priority at the moment is to play well, and there is nothing else to do. ”
"Okay."
Deng Hongfei accepted his explanation.
Although I was still a little curious, I also pressed it.
Here, ** Vicky faced the reporter with a cold face.
"Coach Greg, I don't know if you know about Deng Hongfei's false endorsement recently?"
"Yes, the Internet has exploded, but the Spurs still released an official statement in support of Deng Hongfei, does your team have any inside information?"
"What do you think as the manager of the team has such a problem?"
"Will he be deprecated for this?"
What do you think of him? In his daily training life, does Deng Hongfei show personality problems? ”
The more you ask the question, the more outrageous it becomes.
Vicky shrugged noncommittally at the end, "I think he played well with this game. ”
"Coach, we're asking about false endorsements."
Vicky frowned, "False endorsements? Who are you talking about? ”
"Deng Hongfei, of course." Again, the journalists emphasized.
"Then I didn't answer wrong." Vicky shrugged, "I think he played well on this game." ”
The reporters were clearly not satisfied, "Coach, we didn't ask you how he did in this game. ”
Vicky pouted, "Sorry, I'm only answering questions about basketball, this is the NBA, not the entertainment industry, you don't always want to make big news." ”
"Alright."
Seeing that the gang was still ready to entangle unrelentingly, ** Vicky raised his hand directly, "Goodbye." ”
After saying that, he left with a cold face.
Leaving the media personnel looking at each other on the ground.
——
The first four games of the Western Conference Finals.
The two sides are tied 3:1.
The Spurs held the match point and dragged the game back to San Antonio.
As for the eastern side.
The Pacers trailed the Miami Heat 2-3.
According to the pre-game odds and many professional analysis, if the Spurs can cross the Thunder, then their opponent will most likely be the Miami Heat led by LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.
It's a tough battle.
I trained for a few days without incident.
Deng Hongfei repeated the life of three points and one line, and devoted himself to basketball, and he still knew nothing about the turmoil in the outside world.
For his protection, Spurs have done a pretty good job.
Even the interview group that squatted outside the stadium several times to block people was discovered and driven away by the team's people in advance.
The busy training and pre-war preparations every day made Deng Hongfei's life rhythm extremely fulfilling.
So he didn't notice the abnormalities that Shen Yan occasionally revealed.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
May 28, 2014.
Western Conference Finals G5 Early.
In the Spurs tactical analysis room, ** Vic is making the last pre-war deployment and analysis report for all players.
A detailed review of Dewey's performance in the first four games, with a variety of professional models and rigorous data to explain their performance in each quarter, as well as their specific role on the court.
There is a smell of tension in the air.
Until the day of the game, every Spurs player had a focus and a kill written on their faces.
At this point in the playoffs, every step must be taken with caution, and the slightest mistake can lead to a failure.
In front of us is the finals and the championship trophy.
It's the best reward for a whole season of bloody fighting.
AT&T Center Arena.
As always, we are united, and we are as enthusiastic as ever.
Quiet San Antonio seems to be ignited by this feverish passion.
Large screens were installed in the streets and alleys of the city, and some fans who could not get in without tickets sat around and waited in front of this screen to send their emotions to the home team.
Before the start of the fight.
Social media has leaked the possible starting lists of both sides.
And when the starting list hits the big screen.
Only then did everyone find out that ** Vicky had actually changed the formation again.
The point guard position is prominently hung with Deng Hongfei's head.
And the shooting guard was also replaced by Marco Belinelli.
The small forward is Kawhi Leonard.
The power forward is Aaron Baines.
Duncan moved to the center position.
What kind of routine is this?
Everyone, including the commentators on the scene, was stunned.
Although Vicky has always been known for not playing according to routines, no manager has dared to play so much on the stage of the Western Finals.
almost completely subverted the original starting five tigers, and sent a strange starter that surprised everyone.
What about Danny Green?
What about Ginobili?
What about Tony Parker?
What about Split?
Why are all the people who should be on the field gone?
Brooks was also puzzled when he saw this scene, he looked at the calm ** not far away, his eyes changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Odd starter relative to Spurs.
The Thunder's starters are normal.
No. 1, Reggie Jackson.
No. 2, Russell Westbrook.
No. 3, Kevin Durant.
Fourth, Sergi Ibaka.
No. 5, Kendrick Perkins.
Compared to the previous two games, Serge Ibaka's return has undoubtedly brought a stronger help to the Thunder's interior line.
On the scene of his comeback in G3, he brought a lot of trouble to the Spurs with his strong performance of 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks.
However, the performance of the G4 is relatively poor.
still contributed 9 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, and still played steadily on the defensive end.
Ibaka's defensive prowess gave Brooks a boost of confidence.
In particular, the G4 victory over the Spurs and a difficult victory made Brooks see a glimmer of hope in despair.
For this crucial battle, he has the heart to win.
