Chapter 32: The Dragon King Is Not Old
Wade pulled the basket hard with one hand before falling back to the ground, came to Addison and slapped the boy's ass hard: "Well done, rookie, you're going to be a superstar if you go on like this!" ”
The boy grinned, he was still not used to the black celebration of slapping his butt, it felt so weird......
And at this time Anthony. Davis was shocked, he couldn't figure out how Addison had just seen Wade's air cut route? He thinks he's done it quickly enough, and with Addison's 6-foot-1" height, he and Evans, two players over 6'6", should have seen a huge obstruction under the back-up of his two players. And at that time, Addison's eyes were obviously staring at the position of the basket, how did this guy observe that Wade in the bottom corner was in place?
Could it be that he has a 360° field of vision without dead ends? ? Just like the Alien in the X-man movie...... Davis shook his head to clear his unrealistic thoughts, held back his doubts and ran towards the opposing half.
Cinnabar. Holiday took over from beyond the three-point line to face Addison, who was a pretty good point guard, stable and sane enough that he wouldn't be desperate to go back single-handedly just because his opponent had just passed a good shot.
Raising his hand to call Davis to block, Holiday broke through to the right with the help of cover. At this time, the Heat's No. 4 position Sean. Williams decisively followed Holiday and took Anthony Brown. Davis's big trouble was left to Addison.
Although 'Thick Eyebrow' is on the thin side of the line, he also has a tonnage of more than 100kg and excellent muscle strength. The 75-kilogram Addison is not realistic to stop this guy's basket breakthrough, and the best option is to get stuck in front of the opponent and wait for the opportunity to cut off Holiday pass.
The boy with this in mind pursed his mouth, and at the moment of physical contact with Davis, his right arm was slightly raised, and when the referee's line of sight was covered, he gave the opponent an elbow on his waist covertly.
"Hiss......" Davis couldn't help but take a breath, and glanced at the harmless boy in front of him with a little surprise, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that this kid would actually play with yin. Addison's elbow was neither heavy nor light, but it made Davis's body stiffen, missing the best opportunity to get stuck, and was surrounded by the boy in front of him.
Holiday also failed to take advantage of the misplaced breakthrough, Sean. Williams, as a power forward who likes to float on the perimeter, has a good ability to move and keep up with Holiday in his footsteps. The Pelicans point guard wanted to pass back but found that the Chinese rookie was actually stuck in front of Davis, waving a pair of long arms that exceeded 15 cm in height.
Seeing this, Holiday directly changed his plan and handed the ball to Tyrick on the same side. Evans, at the same time made a brief cover for him. Evans has a decent explosiveness and moves along the free-throw line with point guard cover. That's when Pelicans point guard Eric . Gordon used a counterrun to temporarily shake off Wade and rush to the left corner.
Gordon's physicality is outstanding, and when he entered the league, his development template was Dwyan. Wade. Now 26 years old, Gordon is in his prime, and his physical function has surpassed Wade. Evans passed the ball to Gordon, who ran to the corner, and Gordon took advantage of the opportunity to catch the jump shot and hit it before Wade caught up with the block.
The score became 19:14, and there were about four minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

Addison dribbled the ball across the half, but still called Bosh to block. An interior line that can shoot in the high post and can cut through the basket is definitely a valuable killer in the eyes of a point guard who is good at blocking and pick-and-roll, and Addison is lucky to have just entered the NBA and met such an interior player who is suitable for blocking and pick-and-roll tactics. The boy thinks that Bosh, who has just turned 30, cannot seriously degrade his physical fitness, and he is confident that this tall and thin guy will become the 'dragon king' who can average 20+8 per game.
This time the Pelicans' defensive tactics have changed, no longer letting Asik go up to defend the pick-and-roll, the Turks are slow and have poor pick-and-roll defense. Davis followed.
Addison broke through with the help of a cover start, and although Davis had a movement ability that was almost comparable to that of a swingman, he still struggled with the speed of a Chinese boy. Addison didn't make any feints, and ran directly to the baseline against Davis, quite a bit of a brainless breakthrough.
No matter how good the boy's upper body strength is, it is not a good way to face Davis, who weighs more than 100 kilograms, and just go straight to it. Spoelstra frowned on the sidelines, he had the impression that Addison was not a player who liked to work so hard, it was not his style.
Addison was deep but drifted more and more off the basket as Davis' defense swayed further and further. Suddenly, the boy's right hand grabbed the basketball and slammed it from behind along his side.
His gaze didn't sweep the situation behind him at all, so that Davis didn't react when the ball was passed, and he was still following Addison, who was running towards the baseline.
And a second before this pass appeared, the high post of Chris. Bosh was being left behind by Holledika. Holiday was very concerned about Bosh's shooting ability in the high post, and the impression that Bosh had left on people in Miami for several seasons was almost nothing more than a jump shot. Because the basket and low post are the performance stage for LBJ and Wade, and Bosh's role is only to attract the opponent's interior defense to the high post or even outside the three-point line, and clear space for the other two giants to impact the basket.
In fact, Bosh during the Raptors period had a strong finishing ability under the basket, and his air cuts and breakthroughs were the main means of scoring in addition to the half-volley. In the past few seasons of the Heat, Bosh seems to have just hung the name of a 'giant', and many times it is more like a superfluous thing in the giant, so much so that he has been added with sarcasm such as 'soft egg', 'jumper' and even 'waste'.
Bosh wants to prove himself, especially after LBJ leaves, and he wants everyone to know that he is definitely worthy of the title of 'giant' and not just a role player......
Seeing that Holiday wanted to jam himself and prevent him from catching and shooting, Bosh suddenly made a rare off-ball turn with Holiday close to Holiday, and then pressed his left arm against the opponent to use his height and pace advantage to cut to the basket.
Holiday didn't expect Bosh to have such a move, after all, anyone who saw a big man nearly 7 feet tall perform a no-ball turn in front of him. The momentary stunned coupled with the strength of Bosh's arm on top of the top of the body, Holiday failed to block the power forward at the first time, and was successfully cut by the opponent.
Then Addison, who didn't look at this side, passed the basketball from behind the ground, the force was just right, and the height of the ball hitting the ground didn't need Bosh to bend down to respond, just copy it and stride straight to the basket!
