"Strengthen the offense on the outside."

"So enable flexible interior combinations."

The rest of the coaching staff understood.

"Yes, but not quite."

"I've always believed that everything in this world has a degree, and being too wasteful means that there are often fatal holes," Popovich said. ”

"So I think we can strengthen the attack on the outside, but we can't give up on the inside."

"I referenced the Suns game in the 04-05 season, that style of play was too draining on the team's physical strength, and we had to find a rhythm point with a certain amount of relaxation."

"So I think that at the beginning of the new season, start with Thiago and see the results, after all, practice is the only criterion to test the truth."

"At the beginning of the season, you can polish all kinds of tactical ideas."

"The league as a whole is improving, and we, as the defending champions, will definitely be the focus of each team's research, and we will definitely not be able to rest on our laurels."

"And now Kowai has an eye infection, Thiago also strained his calf at the World Cup, they will definitely be out for a period of time at the beginning of the two seasons, and our assumptions are only based on imagination, and the situation in the new season is quite serious."

Popovich's words summed up the whole discussion.

——

Soon, on October 28, 2014, the NBA season opener officially began.

The San Antonio Spurs sat at home and welcomed the first opponent of the new season, the Dallas Mavericks.

Kowhi Leonard missed the opener because of an eye infection.

Split on the inside and Mills on the bench are also out injured.

The Spurs face last year's playoff rival Mavericks with a broken roster.

The outside world is not particularly optimistic about the form of this Spurs.

Popovich's starting lineup is Parker, Belinelli, Deng Hongfei, Matt Bonner, and Duncan.

The Mavericks' starting five are: Jamil Nelson, Monta Ellis, Chandler Parsons, Dirk Nowitzki, and Tyson Chandler.

Compared to last season, they have made targeted reinforcements in the offseason.

They welcomed Tyson Chandler, the DPOY (Best Defensive Player) winner of the 11-12 season, in the center position.

At point guard, the addition of former Magic lead player Nelson will undoubtedly bring more solid firepower to their perimeter.

This battle will become the first touchstone for the Spurs in the new season.

Popovich and the entire Spurs management are quite serious.

A good start is half the battle, and everyone wants to get off to a good start and win the jackpot.

Deng Hongfei's heart was surging.

The absence of Leonard, Split and others did not make him nervous, but made him more motivated.

The lack of a full squad means that he can get more possession and take on more responsibility.

He enjoys the feeling of shouldering heavy responsibilities and daring to be the first in the world.

is like Zhao Zilong in the Three Kingdoms, who was a gentian and a hero, and a horse single-handedly went out of the encirclement.

Fans at AT&T's Centre Arena had been waiting for months, so they arrived early to wait for the home team's first game before the game even started.

When the Spurs will run out of the tunnel of the players, they are immediately overwhelmed by the overwhelming passion.

The fiery and passionate melody of the arena is still so beautiful and exciting.

Deng Hongfei felt that thousands of eyes were focused on him, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of pride and raised his head slightly.

After a season of proof, he is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning.

No more frenetizing about getting a minute of playing time.

In the new season, he aims to start and even go to the next level.

Following his teammates on the familiar arena, Deng Hongfei casually bowed down and pressed his legs, twisted his wrists and neck, and moved his joints.

Doing the final warm-up.

Hearing a whistle like a starting gun piercing his eardrums, he immediately threw himself into a state of readiness.

The basketball is thrown high into the air by the referee.

The powerful boxer jumped up, hooked the basketball fiercely, and slapped his own half of the court.

Chandler Parsons snatched the basketball first and handed it over to Nelson.

In the face of Deng Hongfei, he showed strong vitality, and he was quite positive in running and interspersing.

It's not the first time the two have played each other.

Last season, rookie Deng Hongfei played an amazing game in front of him, facing Harden, shining at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, cutting 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the half, and repeatedly staged key performances in the final moments, playing 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on the luxury data of 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Be Mr. Key to the Spurs' 138-136 win over the Rockets.

That battle plunged Chandler Parsons into a taunt.

After all, Deng Hongfei and him have repeatedly countered, but he has indeed fallen into disadvantage.

It can even be said that Deng Hongfei stepped on him and became famous.

Since then, Chandler Parsons has been desperate to get back on the field.

Throughout the 13-14 season, he averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and he was completely worthy.

It's a pity that since that fight, Deng Hongfei has inexplicably reimbursed almost the entire season and never met again.

In the playoffs, neither team met again.

This goodbye, full of confidence, Parsons wants to use practical actions to clear away the hatred of the past.

But in the first head-to-head duel, before his throw could fully raise his hand, he was quickly cut off by Deng Hongfei.

The latter picked up the ball and passed it to Parker.

The French sports car raced forward, dribbled to the basket and scored the first two points of the game.

This caused a deep sense of consternation in Chandler-Parsons's heart.

How so?

How could he be so fast, and wasn't that ball fouled?

How can you cut the ball so accurately without a foul?

He doesn't feel like there's a problem with the ball!

Parsons wanted to feel the slightest pain in the back of his hand to prove that it was Deng Hongfei's foul and not his own mistake.

But I felt it carefully for a while, but I didn't feel anything.

"It must be the thug, the pain is gone."

Parsons comforted himself unbelievingly.

I really thought that it was a thug foul that the referee didn't see just now.

He didn't believe that Deng Hongfei could find the starting point so cleanly under such a fast-paced pace and strong confrontation.

Convert offense over.

It's a pity that a few rounds later.

The two fought again, Parsons carried Deng Hongfei and forced a layup, and was cut off at the moment of raising his hand.

This time, the coolness of the palm of the hand directly soaked the skin and drilled into the heart.

Seeing the ball being shot off the line, Parsons' heart was both incredulous and extremely frustrated.

He really saw that this time, it was definitely a clean defense, and there was no suspicion of any fouls.
