Chapter 287: Slump

June 5, 2014.

NBA Finals Night 13-14!

Basketball fans around the world are focused on San Antonio.

The Spurs are at home for the first game of the Finals.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade led the Miami Heat to a strong attack.

Last year, the San Antonios fought seven hard-fought battles before finally getting a grudge.

This year, the two teams will meet again on the stage of the finals, and what kind of storm will be stirred up?

Shen Yan sat in front of the TV, watching Deng Hongfei trot out of the players' tunnel in a daze, wrapped in the frantic shouts of the home fans.

Raising his head, his face under the spotlight looked calm, and his pupils were as pale as ever, not rippling.

It seems that for everything that is about to happen next, Furui does not wave.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this may be a manifestation of good psychological quality.

But only Shen Yan knew that he was not nervous, but had other thoughts.

It was he who influenced him......

I couldn't help but think of Deng Hongfei's disappointed eyes and tone that day, and the awkward atmosphere between the two in the past few days.

Shen Yan's eyebrows climbed up a little self-blame.

I can only hope in my heart that Deng Hongfei will not be affected because of himself.

However, it backfired.

After the start of the game, Deng Hongfei rotated as the team's main force, but his state was extremely sluggish, and he failed to hit several empty shots.

Even the layups that cut under the basket were full of low-level errors.

At the end of the first half, he handed over a black answer sheet with 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers on 1-of-7 shooting.

The whole person is like sleepwalking on the field, and he no longer has the courage to fight in the West.

The fans in front of the TV did not know the truth and scolded one after another.

But the discerning people around Deng Hongfei saw that his state was not normal.

Especially the Spurs livery group.

Popovich and Udoka frowned, staring at Deng's poor performance and near-stealth presence.

"What's wrong with him?"

Udoka was confused.

What level Deng Hongfei is, they know it well, and they will never play like this.

"Maybe he's aware of the recent rumors about him."

Popovich crossed his hands on his hips and had the same headache.

Fortunately, the Spurs are in a good situation now, and the whole team has maintained a good rhythm until now.

Although Deng Hongfei couldn't play well, the team still maintained the lead.

As the person concerned, Deng Hongfei does not seem to be as excited as he imagined to meet LeBron James.

My heart was filled with all kinds of trivial things, and I couldn't help but think about them when I walked on the court.

All of this is like a mess of cotton wool swirling around in the brain.

So much so that he didn't play in the third quarter, and by the end of the fourth quarter, Popovich didn't give him another chance to play.

If you are not in good physical condition, you can adjust it through the game.

But if something goes wrong with the mentality, it's not so easy to adjust.

Luckily, the game was not as difficult as expected.

In the first game, the Spurs defeated the Miami Heat 110-95 to take the lead and get off to a good start in the Finals.

LeBron James had 25 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Dwyane Wade had 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Chris Bosh had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist.

The Big Three performed decently.

On the other hand, the Spurs are extremely efficient.

Tim Duncan finished with a team-high 21 points, 10 rebounds and three assists on 9-of-10 shooting from the field.

Ginobili played the role of Mr. Key, scoring 16 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block in the game.

Parker had 19 points and Green had 13.

The light of team basketball overshadowed the Big Three.

But both on the Internet and in the Spurs, the atmosphere wasn't any lighter because of a win.

What happened last year is still fresh in my mind.

That's how it was at the time!

The Spurs got off to a good start and went all the way to the top to take the match point, but just as all the professional analysts and big data showed that they had an overwhelming championship rate.

But in the last 6 seconds of the last quarter of the crucial battle, the chain was dropped!

At that time, the Heat hit the iron, the Spurs led by 3 points 95-92, and the championship situation was very good, but at the critical moment, Bosh got the offensive rebound, and Ray Allen, who had been in ambush for a long time, hit a fatal 3 points, tied the score and dragged it into overtime, and finally lost in overtime! Shengsheng dragged into the battle of grabbing seven.

And lost to Maicheng in the tie-break, regretting to lose the championship that was close at hand.

This year, Popovich and his team do not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and no one dares to take it lightly.

After the post-match analysis meeting, the group was dismissed.

Only Deng Hongfei was left.

In the tactical analysis room, he was the only one left.

Throughout the whole process, Deng Hongfei looked like he was detached.

It seems that he is listening to the analysis and summary of the coaching staff, but in fact, his eyes are distracted, and he has not really participated in the meeting from beginning to end.

Popovich and Udoka dragged a bench and sat down in front of him, staring at each other for a long time with their blank eyes, stunned for no response.

Udoka couldn't help but shake Deng Hongfei's shoulder, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Is something going on? If you have any difficulties, the team can help you solve them, and your state on the field today is completely wrong. ”

Deng Hongfei's pupils finally focused slightly, and his gaze met in the air.

However, he just shook his head slightly, and said faintly, "Coach, I know the adjustment." ”

"Adjust what?" Popovich frowned disapprovingly.

"No matter what is in your heart, you have to tell it, people are emotional animals, happiness needs to be shared with others, loss and sadness also need an outlet, you yourself are so stuffy, we don't know anything, what is it?!"

"How dare I let you go on the court like this?"

Popovich rarely expressed his point in an extremely harsh tone in such a scenario.

The tough attitude woke Deng Hongfei slightly, and the latter hung his head, still silent.

Udoka was about to say something serious, but Popovich held it down with his outstretched hand.

And so, there was an eerie silence in the war room.

After I don't know how long, Deng Hongfei slowly raised his head and talked about the problems he encountered emotionally.

Popovich and Udoka looked at each other when they heard this, but they didn't expect that Deng Hongfei was lost because of this incident.

Personal emotional problems, which can be difficult.

Popovich suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I can see that you and your girlfriend have a deep relationship, but, Deng, I just want to say to you, basketball is just basketball, nothing else, I hope you can always keep a pure heart, so that basketball will always be pure in your heart, as long as you step on the court, there is nothing else in your personal world." ”

"Think about it yourself."

After Popovich finished speaking, he got up and left.

In the same place, Udoka was about to say something, but when he saw Bobo walking in a hurry, his lips twitched twice, and after all, he swallowed the words in his stomach and followed Bobo......
