Middle circle.

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

Both sides jump the ball.

Duncan and Gasol Jr. bent their knees slightly.

The referee blew the whistle and the basketball was thrown into the air.

Duncan stretched his ape arm and touched the ball first, but Parker didn't catch the falling ball.

Instead, he was intercepted by Conley, who was born out of nowhere, and accelerated with the ball, launched a fast attack, and took the lead!

The Memphis Grizzlies have shown good spirits to hold back for an offseason.

The audience at the Spurs smelled a bad smell.

——

Off the field, Deng Hongfei and Nando De Colo were next to each other.

On weekdays, the two have the best relationship and have a lot of common language.

"Deng, in your China, do so many people watch basketball games?" De Colo asked abruptly, looking at the fiery audience around him.

"Well, basketball is still quite popular in China." Deng Hongfei nodded, "But there is still a gap between the scale of the arena and the United States. ”

"And the attention of the domestic league is not particularly high."

"Oh." De Colo nodded thoughtfully, "The hottest thing is still the NBA, right?" ”

"Yes."

Deng Hongfei did not deny it, because this was originally a fact.

De Colo shook his head, "This situation is not different in our Europe, although the popularity of the NBA is still very high, but the attention of the European league is also not inferior. ”

"I think the NBA can be respected, but the domestic league also needs attention, only when more people pay attention, there will be more people to engage in it, and there will be more talents."

"I agree with you." Deng Hongfei said undeniably, "Anyway, Nanduo ......"

"How?" De Colo looked at him strangely.

"You...... The first time you play, do you get nervous? ”

Deng Hongfei hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Of course, it's normal to be nervous." Nando De Colo did not deny it, "But when you really get into the game, you don't have time to be nervous, the pace is fast, you don't care about the tension. ”

"Oh."

Deng Hongfei realized.

It's just that he can't understand what it's like to feel just yet.

Even though he's played in summer league and preseason, it feels different when compared to the real regular season.

On the field, the two teams played very anxiously.

The inside line is hot hand-to-hand combat.

In the fifth position, Duncan and Gasol Jr. were evenly matched on the defensive end, but the former was more consistent and well-rounded on the offensive end.

It's just the fourth position, and Dior can't withstand Randolph's brute bull collision.

The latter's attack has a wide range of attacks, strong strength, and is not slow, and the means are even more varied.

Fortunately, the feel is not particularly good, the shooting rate is not high, and several goals that should be thrown have not been thrown.

At the same time, both teams are good at playing team basketball.

The emphasis is on the overall play.

It's just that from the perspective of competitive form, the Grizzlies are obviously going to get into the groove a little faster, and they have maintained a slight lead.

"To be honest, watching these players live is more powerful than what I watched on videotape."

Deng Hongfei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "They are all very strong, even the defenders are full of tendons." ”

"That's a must, to play in the NBA, the ability to fight is very important."

De Colo did not deny it, and at the same time subconsciously looked up at the score.

At present, the first quarter is more than halfway through the march, and there are 4 minutes and 22 seconds left.

The Spurs are temporarily down by two points at 14-16.

Popovich finally made his first substitution.

Replace Tony Parker and bring on Patrick Mills.

Replace Danny Green for Manu Ginobili.

Replaced Burrece Dior and moved Duncan to the number four position.

The fifth position is on Thiago Split, and the latter's strong confrontation continues to wear down Marc Gasol.

The Grizzlies have also changed.

The black and white bears on the inside are still there, but the No. 3 spot is the poor Tyshawn Prince, and the sharpshooter Mike Miller is on the court.

Get back on the field.

Mills controlled possession, Manu quick-paced and Leonard covered each other to cross and swap positions.

After receiving the ball in the middle and high post, the latter was transferred directly to Duncan on the inside.

In the face of Randolph's top defense, Duncan faced the basket, made a fake pass to his teammates who ran in front of him, and suddenly lowered the center and accelerated to carry Randolph into the interior stride.

His arms were extremely long, holding the ball with one hand, and Gasol Jr. saw this and hurriedly moved sideways to help the defense.

However, Duncan was extremely consistent in hooking the ball into the basket to tie the score.

"What a steady attack."

Deng Hongfei couldn't help but sigh, "I only shot three times in this game, but I hit all of them, and two of them were in the middle and low positions." ”

De Colo did not deny, "A player of Thiem's level, in fact, it is very difficult for a defensive player to be completely limited, and he can only hope that he can't shoot himself, which is the case with superstars." ”

"Thiem, in particular, is top in terms of consistency among superstars."

"Hmm."

Deng Hongfei agreed with the jaw head, "At the same time, I am also secretly observing, Duncan's choice on the offensive end, and realizing from the subtleties that although he is an inside lineman, he also has opportunities to learn from himself." ”

There are many storms on the bench, and the mentality and mood of different players sitting on the bench are also different.

Some players have empty brains all the time, just looking at their teammates on the pitch, repeatedly praying that the coach will hurry up and let them play.

Some even have dark hopes that the team will perform as bad as possible, so that the coach will make substitutions.

Other players are completely like spectators, watching the game, being a little more expressive, and doing a lot of eye-catching things on the sidelines.

For example, the Los Angeles Lakers have a well-known towel brother "Thackeray", who has won a lot of attention by relying on his outstanding performance on the bench.

Of course, there are a very small number of people like Deng Hongfei.

Feel the game, learn the game.

Don't miss the slightest opportunity to learn from each other's strengths.

Instead of playing early, they are reflecting on what they could do better, or what their teammates are not doing well enough to improve on themselves.

and even how to run tactically, substitute yourself into it, and what kind of performance will you have if you are a member of the tactical system.

So with this in mind, time flies by.

It's not even as impatient as the average person who is eager to hear the coach's instructions on the field.

Section 2...... Section 3......

Although I never heard Popovich's voice, "Deng, it's your turn." ”

But Deng Hongfei lived a very fulfilling life, and he didn't feel like he had nothing to do.

"Deng, it's your turn."

was so engrossed that Popovich really walked up to him and waved at him, Deng Hongfei was still engrossed in watching Ginobili complete a beautiful serpentine breakthrough to assist Duncan Leonard who cut inside for a layup, but failed to react in time.

"Deng."

Seeing this, Popovich raised his voice and shouted.

Deng Hongfei came back to his senses at this time, "Coach, here." ”

"Don't look at it, it's your turn, get ready, replace Manu, he's tired."

Popovich's face was not relegated to joy or dissatisfaction.

But Deng Hongfei's mood was indeed filled with bright sunshine all of a sudden.
