Chapter Thirty-Eight: Finding Yourself

Addison glanced at Owen's size at the top of the arc, and he suddenly stretched out his left hand that was not holding the ball and made a '2' gesture, and Wade, who was just about to be in the corner, immediately understood and turned and ran in the direction of the boy.

Addison slapped the ball hard, and his center of gravity moved sideways to the left side of the three-point line. Owen followed two steps and suddenly collided with a broad body, and the force was so strong that he had to stop.

It was Wade who made a cover for Addison on the left side, and the boy accelerated his dribble to the bottom corner, and seeing that Irving was blocked, Vitesse reluctantly switched guards and followed near the baseline.

The boy secretly estimated that the distance and space should be sufficient, and suddenly, without warning, he flicked his right wrist and passed the basketball back to the left flank.

By this time, Wade had already taken the slightly skinny Kyrie with his weight and size advantage in front of the horn position. Owen got stuck behind him, and after receiving Addison's pass, he grinned, and without hesitation, he immediately began to hit Owen with his back.

Irving's weight, height and arm span are superior to Wade, not to mention that he has the disadvantage of avoiding physical confrontation on the defensive end, and at this time, he is even more unable to withstand the skillful back-to-back singles of the 'Flash' on the wing.

Wade pushed hard, Owen couldn't help but take a step back, the second impact followed, Owen couldn't help but retreat, and Wade was almost about to squeeze into the three-second zone at this time.

'The Flash' is quite experienced and knows that if he pushes inside, the opponent's interior has a high chance of coming over to wrap up, so he took advantage of Irving's unstable center of gravity to quickly pull the ball and turn around, stuck Irving's position and cut directly into the basket.

Vallejo immediately stepped forward to prevent Wade from attacking the basket, but Wade just slammed the ball with both hands in front of the Brazilian's eyes, attracted the opponent's attention and stuffed the ball to Bosh, and the 'Dragon King' dunked with one hand to complete the attack.

The two giants teamed up to score the goal, but a large part of the credit goes to Addison, who planned the attack by blocking and switching positions, and took the initiative to hand over the ball to open up some space by running.

This is a point guard who really understands what organization is, not that a player holds the ball in his hand all the time on the court, and a dozen assists in a single game are called organization. You know, point guards like Kidd or Rondo have never had a lot of USG in their careers, but they are recognized playmakers.

Use everything on the pitch to create the best attacking style for yourself and your team-mates, and the players who can do that are the ones who understand how to organise. For example, LeBron. James, whose big-picture vision and passing ability are already top in the No. 3 position, has the only flaw being that he is too obsessed with the ball. Singles with the ball, execution tactics with the ball, and strategy with the ball...... All the tactics had to be initiated by him, and if he couldn't hold the ball, James' offensive threat dropped a notch, which is a deformed trait for a swingman at the front.

Nowadays, the Cavaliers have a big problem defensively, and as far as the 'new Big Three' is concerned, only LBJ is a defensive giant. Kevin. Lefou's low-level single defense is acceptable, but the awareness and ability of assistance defense are quite poor, and the pace of anti-blocking and dismantling cannot keep up. As for Carey. How far can Irving, a guy who rejects physical confrontation on the defensive end and is sometimes mentally unfocused, be able to do it?

In terms of this group of Big Three, there is a big gap between the Big Three and the Big Three during the Heat period, judging from the defensive ability alone, it has dropped from the top of the league to the barely qualified level supported by James alone.

***

The Cavaliers' offense mimicked Addison's approach, with Irving dribbling directly to the wing at James' signal, and James' quality of coverage was better than Wade's, as his body was more generous and powerful. Addison, who was blocked, had to switch to LBJ, Irving sent the ball back as soon as possible, and James began to break through strongly without saying a word.

Addison's small body of just over 75 kilograms, no matter how strong his strength is, cannot withstand James's crushing breakthrough, and he is forced into the three-second zone by his opponent, and he only feels a pain in his chest.

Bosh under the basket hurriedly came over to wrap up LBJ, and the two of them tried to seal the tank in the encirclement. James, however, took advantage of his body to maintain his balance and handed the ball to Vallejo, and the Brazilian turned around and put the ball in the basket with a simple slapstick.

The boy's brows frowned, it was definitely not a good idea to let him switch to James, the difference in tonnage and power between the two was too big, and if the Cavaliers kept playing this tactic, he would definitely become a defensive black hole on the court.

"Don't worry, boy, if they continue to fight like this, you go to Vitesse and LeBron will take care of it." A pair of rough palms rested on the boy's shoulders, and Wade's deep voice rang in his ears.

Addison nodded, he understood what 'The Flash' meant, he thought so himself, this was the best way to deal with it, but he needed to react a little faster.

The Chinese rookie still didn't play alone after halftime, and with the help of McRoberts's cover into the interior, Loew's change of defense did not cause much trouble, and was shaken away by Addison's forward change of direction. Vallejo under the basket opened his arms to make up for it, and Addison had a good shot within 10 feet of the basket, whether it was a throw or a jumper near the basket, and he couldn't just leave him open in this area.

Addison saw Vallejo come out of the basket, he turned and hoisted the ball back to McRoberts in the high post, and the Heat power forward took advantage of his height advantage to easily catch the ball, and then threw it near the basket without even pausing.

Bosh, who had just taken advantage of Valejo's gap under the basket to cut through the baseline, kicked up to the ground, grabbed the ball from the air with his slender arms and pressed it into the basket.

The stadium once again resounded with loud cheers, and the most adrenaline in the game was the dazzling and wonderful dunk and block, not to mention a wonderful high-low and low air catch, which is not so many physical and energetic men in the Brazilian domestic league who can perform a two-handed empty dunk.

David off the field. Blatter's brow furrowed even tighter, and he realized that he had underestimated the Chinese rookie so much that he disrupted the defensive strategy he had laid out before the game.

Addison had just deliberately lured Vallejo out of the basket to create space for Bosh to cut into, and he knew that with his position and height, Vallejo's pass would be easy to be intercepted by the opponent, so he handed the ball to McRoberts, who was 6'10" tall.

McRoberts, who is mediocre physically and defensively, was able to occupy the starting position because of his high range and excellent playmaking. As an interior player who can deliver more than 3 assists in less than 25 minutes of playing time, his playmaking ability is definitely ranked best in the league.

McRoberts understood Addison's intentions for the first time, and only then did he have the non-stop empty pass, and then there was Bosh's full 'dragon king' demeanor.

From the moment Addison started, he was able to break through Lefou's change of defense after blocking and dismantling, Vallejo would make up the defense, Bosh would cut in time, and McRoberts could understand his intentions......

Such a thoughtful, long-term and imaginative point guard turned out to be a rookie, and if he hadn't seen Blatter in person, he wouldn't have believed it, and even veterans who have been in the professional arena for many years can do it.

This is a point guard, and compared to Addison, Irving is more like a child obsessed with scoring and flashy moves, and his court habits are too childish.

Chris. Bosh has really played these two games, he is the first scoring point of the Heat team without Wade playing the leading role, and there will be no more embarrassing scenes where he continued to hover between James and Wade even in the open basketball. In Addison's possession of the ball, as long as Bosh can have an opportunity, the ball will always be delivered to him as soon as possible, and more and more offensive opportunities are concentrated on him, and Bosh's hand is getting hotter and hotter, and he gradually finds back the Raptors period when he was omnipotent in air cutting, breaking, and jumping.
