Chapter 245: Proud of Er

"Come on, rookie, don't look at me like that, I've already said it anyway." Iman. Shambaught noticed Addison's cold eyes, and he pursed his lips senselessly. The Cavaliers' 3-and-D wing suddenly took a half-step forward and pressed towards Addison on the dribble. He chose the right distance, just enough to threaten the ball carrier without being taken advantage of by the opponent to get rid of it quickly.

Addison pulled the ball back in time, a move that made Shampott's mocking smile even more pronounced.

"I told you, rookie, pass the ball quickly. You're wasting your team's offensive time, you're already a rat with no way out. "The whispered sarcasm sounds hissing and uncomfortable.

- Ell, as you wish. The original sharpness in the eyes of the Chinese point guard suddenly calmed down, as if he did what Shambaugh said, and passed the ball to Daniel on the wing. Granger. This move surprised even Champoter, who was just trying to distract himself by spewing trash at Addison in the final stages of the match, but Addison actually passed the ball......

However, before he could react, the Chinese point guard was already running quickly from the top of the arc, and with a flick of his shoulder, he rushed straight to the right side of the three-point line. Shambaugh hurriedly kicked the ground to chase the defense, but was caught by Ruhr, who had already prepared to cover. Deng blocked. LeBron. Seeing this, James immediately moved his feet, and a sliding step blocked Addison's path of running without the ball.

Addison still didn't slow down, and just as he was about to collide with LBJ's broad body, the Chinese point guard suddenly turned with his left foot and made a no-ball turn towards James inside the three-point line. The move came so suddenly and quickly that James didn't even have time to use his power to delay, and the fact that BJ's lateral movement was slower than that of a small fast guard was revealed at this moment, and no one could hide it.

"Addison's off-ball run made a big difference! He tore through the Cavaliers' outside defense! Barkley shouted, his hands clenched unconsciously.

Seeing the team's perimeter defense fail, Mike. Miller doesn't care about Ruhr either. Deng, he pounced on the other side of the horn to block Addison. However the inside line of Alexi. Atkinsa also raised the penalty area at this time, blocking Mike with his tall body. Miller, creating space for Addison to cut into.

The Chinese point guard went from the right high post to the center to the left near the horn position, and Daniel on the wing. Granger immediately gave him the basketball. Addison didn't hesitate to cover the basket after receiving the ball, and Mozgov looked at the yellow-skinned point guard with a headache, but he had to step forward to prepare for the defense.

"Bang !!" The basketball hit the floor immediately, and Addison, who stepped into the paint, handed the basketball from behind to his left hand, while making a light step to the side of the baseline when he was still two or so positions away from Mozgov. The Russian center followed the opponent and pulled away, but saw the Chinese point guard move smoothly and then guided the ball with his left hand to the middle of the penalty area.

Aginsa, who had previously made a cover, had just gotten rid of Mike. Miller slid down to the penalty area, took Addison's pass, took a big step, jumped up hard in front of the three-second zone, and slammed the basketball into the Cavaliers' basket with both hands!

"Wow! Kinsa was about to kill the basket!! "Kenny. Smith couldn't bear to let out a sigh of relief, "But it was a great blocking and cutting combination, and Addison's off-ball run once again embarrassed the Cavaliers' defense." The Cleveland people were right to want to trap Addison, but they had to do a little more to prepare...... That Heat No. 7 has spent dozens of games telling the league how terrifying his ability to analyze and dismantle opponents' defensive systems is. ”

David. Blatter frowned, very unhappy with the team's defense this time. He clapped his hands to draw Champot's attention to his focus on keeping Addison, and Shambaugh nodded awkwardly, then immediately turned his chagrined gaze to the calm-looking Chinese point guard.

The other party's indifferent expression made Shambaugh's annoyance even worse, and he gritted his teeth: "...... Damn noob, it was just an accident! ”

Addison didn't respond to Shambaugh's gnashing of teeth at all, not even a glance back, just turned around and ran back towards the backcourt. If his guess about the Cavaliers' head coach wasn't wrong, then Shambaugh was about to be replaced. It's not that the 3-and-D wing didn't work hard enough on the court, but in the final moments of the game, Blatter's habit would definitely be to switch to the more offensive firepower of JR. Smith. Especially in such a game with a tight score, JR. Smith can undoubtedly do more than Shambaugh, who has a relatively single offensive means.

Sure enough, David. Blatter looked up at the time on the big screen after instructing Shambaugh, turned around and called out to JR. Smith on the bench. With less than five minutes left before the end of the game, Blatter decided to increase his team's attacking firepower as he wanted to extend his lead.

"To be honest, when Dwyanne went off the court with an injury, I really didn't expect the Heat to hold on to the score until the final minutes of the game." O'Neal watched the away team quickly return to the defense and prepare to meet the opponent's attack, and said with some feeling, "Maybe this Heat team is not as strong and terrible as it was during the 'Big Three' period, but their resilience has not diminished but increased, not because of their confidence in strength, but from the depths of their souls." The departure of a leader is devastating for many teams, but the Heat have shown us a different picture. ”

"And they've also shown everybody the talent and new forces that are on the rise in the league," Barkley continued, "I may not be able to say what will happen to Addison in the future, but I'm sure that after this season, Addison will definitely be among the most spotlight in the league." ”

"Come on, Charles, he's already in the spotlight right now......" Kenny. Smith lightly elbowed his partner's arm, "Look at Addison's current stats, 23 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Do you know how much media would have surrounded him after the game like a bee smelling nectar, if he had 25+10 data before the end? ”

***

The appearance of JR. Smith really helped the Cavaliers increase their impact on the offensive end, and it even worked wonders. This long-known "nerve knife" in the league suddenly missed cold arrows twice in a row with a distance of about two steps from the three-point line, and actually hit all of them, which suddenly allowed the Cavaliers to extend their lead to double digits!

The cheers of the quick loan center became frenzied with these two unreasonable three-point shots, and wave after wave seemed to shake the whole arena! The Cavaliers fans, who had been nervous for a long time, finally saw the infinite dawn of victory, and they shouted "Defense" to cheer for the home team!

However, Addison immediately stepped up to cast a shadow on the light that the Clevelanders saw, first breaking through to the inside under the pretense of cover, attracting the help defense, and then suddenly distributing the ball to Daniel on the wing. Granger. The veteran was unrelenting at crucial moments and used his height advantage to face Carey. Irving hit a three-pointer that pierced the Cavaliers' net.

Turning around, Addison unknowingly suddenly went inside to help defend and directly stole LBJ, who fell to the low post. The basketball is thrown to Ruhr who is about to go down. In Deng's hand, Addison quickly rushed to the front court and then took advantage of Daniel. Granger's cover cut inside from the middle to take on Ruhr. Deng passed the ball straight to the basket and caused Mike to help defend it. Fouled by Miller.

"What the hell......" David on the sidelines. Blatter grabbed at his short hair, he really didn't expect this first-year rookie to be so difficult and not let the Cavaliers have a good time at the end of the game. The point difference was less than 15 points, and Blatter did not dare to replace the main team. Miller is showing signs of fatigue, and LeBron, who has been playing nearly 40 minutes. James' breathing was also much heavier than before.

Standing at the free throw line, Addison wiped a handful of sweat from the bridge of his nose and exhaled deeply. Cleveland's resentment towards this booming rookie has reached its extreme, with boos attacking the emaciated body of the Chinese point guard like waves from all directions.

"Whew! Swish!!! Addison, who withstood the pressure, hit both free throws, and the Heat once again chased the difference back to within 10 points, and his own statistics officially came to 25 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals.

"I think after today's game, the guys who slammed Addison for his mediocre playoff play will keep their mouths shut. Now Addison, who is both the Heat's engine and a sharp scoring point, is already undergoing his own metamorphosis and taking another step towards becoming a true all-around point guard. "Charles. Barkley said with a pomp in his heart, his words furious to the ears of 'Aihei' who watched the live game, but he really couldn't find a reason to refute the sarcasm. Addison's play in this game was too unexpected for them, and every point scored by the Chinese point guard was like a stab in the heart of these people who were not used to him.

The Cavaliers fans at the scene also saw Addison's current stats on the big screen, which made them feel extremely mixed.

"Damn, what is this?! Can't we really guard against this yellow-skinned boy?! ”

"It's really good to brush ...... I'm sure if LBJ and Kyrie played like that, they would definitely be able to farm out that kind of stats! ”

"That rookie is so annoying! Why wasn't he the one who got injured and rolled off the field before?! ”

……

The game entered the final two minutes of the contest, and David Brown. Blatter called a timeout first. He will be already very tired veteran Mike. Miller switched and simply pushed LBJ to the No. 4 position, while the small forward position was replaced by Iman. Shambaught on top. Originally LeBron. James was still a little reluctant to play power forward, but in the final moments of the game, he couldn't help but act on his own ideas. And as the No. 4 position, he can switch to Addison as soon as he picks up, which is at least better than making Mike. Miller defense is much more secure.

Spoelstra has not made any changes to his squad as it is already the strongest he can put out at the moment. All he could do was get his players to recover as much as possible during the short timeout and stay spirited.

"You guys are doing a great job, guys! Regardless of whether you win or lose this game, you are very satisfying and even pleasantly surprised! I want you to leave here with your heads held high until the end of the game, and Miami is proud of you tonight! ”
