"Isn't he wearing the knee pads I gave him, though?"

Shu Xin saw Deng Hongfei, who was replaced and sitting on the bench, her eyes suddenly became a little gray.

Liu Min shook his head, "The NBA has very strict requirements for the color and style of the player's accessories, and the knee pads you gave him are Lakers-themed and inappropriate for the Spurs, so he took them off during this time, but as far as I know, in a relatively private space, he will still wear that to soothe his knees." ”

"Hee-hee, that's good."

Shu Xin didn't doubt Liu Min's words at all, and instantly entered the same state of optimism as always.

All attention was on Deng Hongfei.

Even if the latter just sat there motionless, Shu Xin's pupils were overflowing with sweetness and appreciation.

Such a state made Liu Min slightly envious and sighed at the same time.

She knew that Shu Xin and Deng Hongfei met by chance at a community event, but before that, the latter already had Shen Yan.

So this is the wrong person at the wrong time?

But feelings are such a magical thing.

Born without a name, it is like suffering from a serious illness, and there is no medicine for medicine.

"What do you like about him?"

Liu Min remembers that she had asked Shu Xin this question many times.

The latter's answer was, "I like his quietness, steadfastness, diligence, and I like that he is different from others." ”

Now that I think about it, maybe in Shu Xin's eyes, Deng Hongfei's every move will be different from others, and all the reasons she said are less than one-ten-thousandth of what she feels in her heart.

Meanwhile.

Deng Hongfei, who was obviously sitting on the bench and watching the confrontation seriously, seemed to feel something, frowned, sat up straight, and raised his eyes to look around.

But after looking at it for a week, I didn't see the most inconspicuous corner in the distance......

——

October 10, 2013.

San Antonio will face the opponent of the first game of the preseason, a powerhouse from Europe, CSKA Moscow.

Deng Hongfei maintains an absolute shield from trivial matters in the outside world, and his body and mind are focused on the game.

Through the confrontation with the outstanding players in the Spurs team, he began to discover some shortcomings in him, and felt more and more that there was still a lot to learn.

It's just that in this game, Deng Hongfei didn't get the chance to play in the end.

I have to say that this is a bit disappointing for many Chinese fans.

On the relevant forums, there is also a lot of scolding, some ridicule, some ridicule, and some high-level black jokes.

Encouraging comments are rare.

This is the tide, if you fight well, you will blow into the sky, and if you can't beat it well, you will become a dog.

This is also the reality, the winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

On October 15, the San Antonio Spurs flew to Denver and welcomed the opponent of the second game of the preseason, the Denver Nuggets.

Yes, the Nuggets offered a full main lineup:

PG: Ty Lawson

SG: Randy Foye

SF: Wilson Chandler

PF: Kenneth Faried

C: JJ-Hickson

Meanwhile, Spurs' starting lineup is:

PG: Tony Parker

SG: Danny Green

SF: Couwai Leonard

PF: Tim Duncan

C: Thiago Split

Although many media probed Popovich and Spurs-related personnel before the game, they wanted to know whether Deng Hongfei could play.

But nothing came of it.

Rao is so, and there are still many Chinese fans who are still in front of the screen with anticipation......

Deng Hongfei was very calm, he didn't expect to start as soon as he came.

You must know that the Spurs are a strong team, and they were close to winning the championship last year.

This year, we will definitely aim to win the championship.

In such a strong team, there is only one thing he needs to do, which is to train consistently and then wait for his chance.

The Spurs played well in the first quarter.

Duncan sat at the No. 4 position, playing steadily, and with him at the core, the Spurs quickly took a 14-point lead at 31:17.

Leonard was equally impressive.

His body has changed significantly from last season, and he has become much stronger.

This makes him more powerful on the defensive end, and his mid-range jumper is more consistent.

Aside from Duncan, he's the second-brightest spot in the Spurs' starters.

Then the second quarter began, and Tony Parker, who was playing leisurely, was replaced by Mills.

On the bench, Nando De Colo has been explaining to Deng Hongfei the Spurs' tactics and the other people's movements.

The latter listened and nodded, and at the same time, through his own observations, slowly absorbed what De Colo had explained to him.

De Colo is also a strong point guard, but the Spurs have a lot of talent on the roster, and he won't get much playing time.

Since the beginning of the summer league, he and Deng Hongfei have established a good relationship in a friendly communication.

"Deng, if you have the opportunity to play, you must be confident, self-confidence is a necessary quality for basketball players, don't be tied up just because you are a newcomer and a substitute, this will only play badly, and then fall into a vicious circle, you know?"

Decoro seems to have prophecy abilities.

As soon as he said this, Popovich walked to Deng Hongfei's side, "Deng, move around, get ready to play, replace Green!" ”

The sudden opportunity made Deng Hongfei a little surprised.

But he quickly calmed down, calmed down, and then, under De Corlo's encouraging eyes, nodded firmly, took off his coat and walked to the technical table to get ready to play.

The sharp-eyed Chinese audience in front of the screen was immediately excited, and they immediately saw Deng Hongfei standing in front of the technical desk.

This proves that the latter is going to be replaced.

Is the debut, the NBA preseason debut, finally coming?

Countless people clenched their fists in anticipation, and their eyes narrowed even tighter.

The Manila Asian Championships, which have just experienced the death of Chinese basketball, tens of millions of Chinese fans are eager to see the emergence of a savior.

And Deng Hongfei, who plays on the highest basketball stage, naturally became the person who everyone wanted.

They are all looking forward to Deng Hongfei's stunning debut and rekindling hope after Chinese basketball has fallen to the bottom.

However, Spurs have never had a dead goal.

At the top of the arc, Mills received a pass from Leonard, made a decisive shot, and hit the basket.

The Spurs already have a 15-point lead at 43:28.

Establish an absolute advantage.

But in an instant, on the Nuggets' side, small forward Wilson Chandler faced Mills' defense with a misplaced transition offense, and came back with a step-back three-pointer to color.

The NBA has changed dramatically.

The Spurs' offense was thwarted again.

The Nuggets launched a fast attack, Lawson advanced to the front court with the ball, and quickly rushed to the bottom line to fly to be strong, but was blocked by the Spurs inside and couldn't shoot, and when the body was out of balance, Lawson found the follow-up "half-orc" Faried in the process of falling!

Quickly lower your hand!

Faried rode the bandwagon, exploded, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!

The difference is 10 points!

The Spurs decisively called a timeout.

Chinese fans are also getting more nervous because after this pause, Deng Hongfei will be on the field......
