"Judging by the topics you're very concerned about, Reggie, who do you think is more talented than the Heat and the Trail Blazers?" Kevin. Harlan asked with interest as he watched Whiteside get the ball away before Aldridge did.

"Kevin, you know, there are many kinds of talents." Reggie. Miller thought for a moment and replied seriously, "If you look at physical talent alone, I think the talent of several core members of the Heat team may be better."

"Let's take Chris. To compare Bosh to Aldridge, LaMarcus was even thinner than Bosh when he first entered the league, and his running and jumping ability and reach were not very good; And Bosh is one of the best in the '03 Golden Generation, and his overall physical fitness is second only to LBJ and Dwyan. Wade.

"Bosh, who has just entered the league, is very similar to Aldridge, they are not very lethal on the inside, and they are more likely to use projection to help the team. But what about now, ten years later? In addition to mid-range shooting, Aldridge has also developed a ball-handling offense and low-post singles, and his body has become a lot stronger; And Bosh, whether active or passive, he wasted a lot of his talent, and even the ball-holding offense that he used to be good at has been wasted, and now he can only rely on shooting and air cutting, that is, his basketball instinct to attack.

"That's why I say that there are many kinds of talents, and it's also a rare talent to keep your talent and keep improving."

This is Reggie. Miller's commentary style may be less hilarious than Barkley and others, but Miller has a deep self-opinion and perception of basketball, which is why he can become a very popular commentator in the United States.

In the discussion between the two commentators, Addison dribbled the ball through the half court and directed the whole team to run and settle in the half.

Damian. Lillard stood in front of the Chinese rookie, who was actually only five years older than Addison and entered the league only two years earlier.

"I'm looking forward to fighting you, Addison...... Lillard's expression was sincere, "your style isn't quite the same as mine, but you're still good." ”

Addison smiled slightly, he rarely has too big changes in expression or emotions on the field, and it is rare to be able to smile.

The Chinese point guard pulled the ball out with his right hand and moved to the right, while Lillard was lifted to the three-point line by Chris. Bosh blocked. Aldridge came to the free throw line to block Addison, but the Heat point guard did not accelerate the breakthrough, but unexpectedly crossed his left hand and quickly passed a deep pass from Aldridge's side into the restricted area!

The edge of the reasonable collision zone was Chris . Whiteside, who was huddled behind Carman, suddenly turned sharply against his opponent, and used his speed and agility to get rid of Carman and come to the basket. Addison's deep pass came to him and Whiteside ignored Chris. Kaman, jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

That indomitable ferocity made Carman give up blocking, and the opponent's explosiveness and arm span were much stronger than him......

"The opening was a slam dunk!! It's my favorite scene! Kevin. Harlan watched as he fell back to the ground facing Chris. Carman's bravado of Whiteside, "Since joining the Heat, Whiteside's stats have skyrocketed. There's certainly a reason for the huge increase in his playing time, but I think Addison's willingness to pass the ball to him is the real point. ”

"Yes, according to the statistics of previous games, Addison fed Whiteside the ball each game second only to Bosh among all interior players on the Heat team, and even surpassed Bosh in some games!" Reggie. Miller looked at his game records, "In my opinion, this center who has been cut here and there is definitely the ability, but he adapted to the Heat's system so quickly, and Addison has helped him tremendously. ”

***

Whiteside's powerful dunk and subsequent show-off angered Trail Blazers fans, with boos and invective pouring in on him. Of course, there is also dissatisfaction with Carman's weak behavior. After coming to Portland, Carman did not live up to the expectations of the fans, the defensive end was not good at blocking and moving slowly, and the offensive end was much lower than before.

Damian. Lillard seemed to be spurred on by Addison's clever pass, and instead of attacking it himself, he passed the ball to Aldridge in the middle distance.

The Rose Garden Stadium burst into cheers, Aldridge was the Trail Blazers' ace, and the fans had high hopes and the warmest support for him.

"Attack, LaMarcus, give them some color!"

"Blow him up, blow up the Miami inside!"

The encouragement he heard in his ears strengthened Aldridge's confidence to attack, and he leaned his back against Bosh, his shoulders tilted to the left, and his center of gravity shifted slightly. Bosh hurriedly followed him to move, but Aldridge pulled back his center of gravity and reversed the turn, raised his arms and turned over for a jumper.

Basketball dials out and hollows into the net! The cheers in the stadium were even more intense!

Now Aldridge wants to score as simple as that, the 'mid-shot king' has a very comprehensive and proficient singles skills, and can cause huge damage in both the low and high posts. In the playoffs last season, he single-handedly beat Dwight. Howard's defense of the Rockets' interior line can be seen from this.

"LaMarcus. Aldridge, he's one of only a handful of well-rounded interior players in the league today. In particular, this straight-arm shot has an extremely high shooting point, which is quite difficult to defend. "Reggie. Miller said with interest.

"Both sides were passed by the point guard, and the first attack was finished from the inside! This kind of competition is worth looking forward to! ”

Switching offense and defense, Lillard stood in front of Addison again. The Chinese rookie looked at the opposing team's defensive position, and from the videos and player reports he had seen before, Lillard was not a commendable player on the defensive end, at least not comparable to his energy on the offensive end.

Thinking of this, Addison's eyes became resolute, and he did not call for an inside block, but accelerated the frequency of his own dribbling.

Addison's fluidity and deceptiveness on the dribble made it difficult for Lillard to make judgments, let alone steal at will. The basketball hit the ground from the front of the body to the right hand, and Addison's center of gravity was lifted to break through from the right side.

Lillard, who had been disrupted by the opponent's shoulder movement, immediately lifted his center of gravity and moved, but Addison quickly slapped the basketball from his crotch back to the left side, and the speed of his center of gravity movement was staggering.

“Crossover！！！ Addison's beautiful change of direction broke through Damian's defense!! Kevin. Harlan's eyes widened, "The Trail Blazers aren't fast!" Can I say that's their biggest flaw on the defensive end? ”

Addison burst from the three-point line and Aldridge couldn't get to the free-throw line in time. The Chinese rookie made a decisive pull-up jump shot, and he has become more and more proficient at using this jump shot from 20-15 feet to the basket.

"Jump shot! In Dwyan's absence, Addison had to take on the task of scoring more, and he was clearly pushing himself to do so! "Reggie. After Miller saw the Heat's No. 7 jump shot scored, he nodded pleasedly, "Kevin, do you think Addison's pull-up jump shot after this change of direction breakthrough is very AI-like?" Also in the middle distance, the same speed is extremely fast and smooth. ”

"Do you want me to say, Reggie? Addison and Allen. The biggest difference between Iverson is that the AI is not a point guard at all, while Addison is the quintessential point guard. Kevin. Harlan glanced at his partner and said with a smile.

Reggie. Miller rolled his eyes: "Of course I know, I just said this jumper...... Let me see some shadows of AI......"

"You're shooting great, Addison." After Lillard dribbled and covered up, he whispered a word of praise to the Chinese point guard.

Addison blinked, shrugging his shoulders noncommittally. For the first time since he entered the league, he heard an opponent compliment himself on 'great shooting'...... If it weren't for Lillard's sincerity, he might have thought this guy was sarcastic.

However, his pull-up jump shot also whetted Lillard's desire to attack, and the Trail Blazers' perimeter core is known for his scoring ability as a big heart player in the league, and he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to scoring.

Lillard slapped the basketball with both hands in a fluid and unpredictable feel that was almost identical to Addison's dribble. Addison raised one hand to interfere with his opponent's line of sight while keeping his center of gravity in a state that could be changed at will.

"Don't be so nervous, first grade." A smile tugged at the corner of Lillard's mouth, "I'll admit you've been doing great, but you can't stop me, and no one in the league dares to say he can stop me." ”

The ball went down from his crotch to his left hand, and Lillard stretched his legs and sprinted towards Addison's right side. The Chinese rookie stepped back half a step and then moved to the right to block his opponent's side.

Lillard switched hands behind the back and moved to Addison's left. Addison tried to catch up, but was caught off guard and crashed into Chris, who was coming from cover. Kaman.

Lillard stepped back to the three-point line in time and jumped without hesitation!

"Step back and shoot a three-pointer! That's Damian's style! Kevin. Harlan exclaimed, "Hit!! Lillard gave Addison the best response!! ”

"Confidence! Incredible confidence!! That's what Lillard shows when he shoots!! "Reggie. Miller snapped his fingers, "The sense of confidence that belongs to the league's top scorer!" Addison should try to give himself that confidence, and while he has improved a lot on his individual offense, he always feels like he's a little short of a super scorer like Lillard......

Lillard pulled back into the half as he enjoyed the cheers of the fans, and the smile on his face was clearer than before.

"I forgot to tell you before, Addison...... My shooting was good too. ”
