Chapter 254: Like an Assassin

"You know what? I like the way this guy plays...... In this league, there are many players who can cut big data, and there are many players who can win, but there are very few players who can play a game that is pleasing to the eye. A white man sitting in the middle of the audience at the Quick Loan Center said to his companion next to him, who didn't look very old and seemed to have just touched the threshold of his thirties. Although he was wearing a pair of glasses, his expression did not reveal any weak or too strong bookish atmosphere, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with a bit of agility.

"It would be great that you were so interested in him, Hine, I didn't think you would be very enthusiastic about a rookie." The middle-aged woman sitting next to him nodded with satisfaction, "Pedil's attention to Addison's exclusive sneakers is far beyond my imagination, so I hope you can come to watch this Chinese game live, maybe there will be some different inspiration." ”

"Inspiration is something that I can flash up to 100 or more a day, but what I need is the most precise understanding and the most emotional imagination." The young man's hand movements are habitually wide when he speaks, and people have to focus on him, "It's a good idea to come to the game, Amy, it's a lot more sensitive than if I just stared at the video highlights and diverged thinking!" ”

Heinmoss. Tesla, the head of the Addison sneaker production team assigned by the NIKE brand. He used to be one of the main designers of the Jordan brand of NIKE's branch. Paul and Cameron. Anthony's sneaker designs. This is a guy who can't stay idle, eager to play but unwilling to be too constrained. In the previous Jordan team, Mr. 'Flyer' himself was a very controlling existence, and many sneakers had to be personally involved in the design, plus Tesla was too young as a designer, and many of his inspirations and ideas were always suppressed or underestimated. This situation made Tesla feel unbearable, so he voluntarily chose to leave the Jordan team.

It was the young man's imagination and his unwillingness to be subordinated to the young man's personality that the top management of NIKE invited him to be the chief designer of Addison's exclusive sneaker design team, so that his talent could be maximized here. Tesla was more enthusiastic about the opportunity than ever, and it was his first time as chief designer and he was building sneakers for one of the nation's hottest supernovas, all of which he had always dreamed of.

"So, do you know more about Addison now?" The middle-aged woman asked with a smile, she was looking forward to the wonderful chemistry that broke out between the two talented young men, "From a competitive point of view, he performed very well this time, did he make a new impression on you?" ”

Tesla supported his chin with his slender fingers, and his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at the field: "...... This guy has the same sharpness as I saw in the video...... How so? If the Addison I saw in the video is like a smooth blade, today's Addison is more like a military spur with an inverted blade, with a little more bloody ferocity......"

"Ferocious?" The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and it seemed that it was difficult to associate the delicate-faced Chinese in the arena with words like 'fierce'. She's a member of NIKE's PR department, and compared to a professional like Tesla, who has an in-depth understanding of the game and the players as individuals, her observations are only superficial.

Tesla ignored his companion's doubts and continued to say to himself: "Originally, I was wondering if themes like 'Son of the East' or 'The Magician' would be more suitable for him, but now it seems that that type of description is very different from him...... What he showed on the field was far more than what any oriental bloodline could represent, and it was not just a few pleasing 'magic'...... It seems to me that he wants to say more now, and he is responding to the hostility that the stadium has not stopped having. ”

As he spoke, the Chinese point guard on the court retook Ruhr. Deng's ball, resolutely used Akinsa's cover to shake off Shambaugh and break through to the inside! The sudden burst of sprint speed caused him to simply turn down with one hand and wipe out JR. Smith's hasty defense, like an afterimage into the paint area, directly to Kendrick Perkins, who replaced Mozgov! Perkins's slow movement, coupled with his lack of reflexes, was deliberately hit by Addison before he jumped!

"Drip !!" The referee's whistle for a defensive foul blew immediately, and Perkins put his head in his hands with a helpless and depressed expression. The boos and insults against Addison in the stadium were loud, but the Chinese point guard turned a deaf ear and high-fived his teammates who ran over with a flat expression.

"Assassin ......" Tesla suddenly subconsciously pronounced a word, which was an image that crossed through his mind in an instant, and almost immediately coincided with Addison's figure just now, "See the bloody assassin who seals his throat and blows a deadly blow...... Light, precise, fierce and unpredictable...... Amy, what do you think of this image? ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the growing brilliance in Tesla's eyes, but she just smiled but did not answer the other party, she knew very well that Tesla didn't care about her answer. This young man has already entered the state, and the excitement in his mind at this time is probably not weaker than on the field at all.

"He's just a rookie, a rookie! We shouldn't let him act like Aaron. Iverson & Chris. Paul fits together! Never !! "LeBron. James was furious, and it was the first time Irving had seen him roar so violently in the locker room. The Cavaliers point guard just pouted noncommittally at this, and he understood why LBJ was so upset, and he was in the same mindset even though it wasn't so obvious.

48:51, the score of the two sides after half-time is as above, the away team is in front, and the home team is behind. The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have an absolute advantage in the hard power of the lineup, still failed to open the score, but were still bitten by the Heat with a 3-point gap, and they couldn't get rid of the opponent no matter what.

That's what James can't stand the most, and while he has enough respect for the Heat, he doesn't actually see the South Coast team as a close match, even when Wade and Whiteside aren't out of the squad. As the current Chosen One in the league, LBJ's self-esteem is also very high, and he really regards him as a rival in the West - the Oklahoma City Thunder team led by Shuangshao and the talented Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Golden State Warriors team that officially set off a small-ball storm in the league......

However, it was the Miami Heat that James did not pay special attention to that burst out with strong fighting power and resilience on the Clevelands' home court, and even in the absence of the team leader and the interior gate, they still fought with the Cavaliers almost on a close footing, and the battle was so fierce that it was almost white-hot.

Addison had 20 points, 4 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal in the half, shooting 8-of-13 from the field in two quarters. They really didn't expect that a rookie would not only not advance and retreat under the intensity of the playoff-level game, but would instead kill all sides with more and more fighting spirit. In the second half of the second quarter, seeing that Addison was getting more and more excited, David . . . Blatter had to signal the team to focus more defensive attention on the Chinese point guard, and even began to arrange bag clips. However, under the change of defensive formation, Addison's teammates who are good at cutting and running have gradually been given more space to run, and the help for Chinese point guards is no longer as limited as before.

LeBron. James originally thought that the Cavaliers could limit the Miami offense as much as possible, especially after Addison blocked and dismantled and directly collided with his own change of defense, and LBJ had strong confidence in this. However, the Chinese point guard used halftime to shatter James's confidence, and James, who was named to the All-Defensive Team six times, didn't seem to have much effect on Eddie after blocking and dismantling, especially after the opponent adjusted to the difficulties of the opening minutes.

But superstars are extremely confident in their abilities, and once this confidence is broken, they are often annoyed. The current LBJ is in this state, and if it is a long-established superstar who continues to break through his own defense, then he can accept it; However, being demanded by a rookie like no one, even if he is just an assistant defender, James cannot continue to remain calm.

David. Blatter looked at James, and he didn't know how to reassure the team leader who had a lot more power than himself...... What's more, a veteran like LBJ doesn't need to be comforted by others, no matter how angry he is, he will adjust himself.

"Continuing our defense in the first half, unless the Miamis were biting the score tight in the final minute of the game, we didn't need to wrap up the Chinese. We tried to distract the defense in the second quarter, but it didn't work out satisfactorily, did we? The head coach began to lay out the second-half strategy for his players, "Just let Addison go and score, and continue to cut off the connection between him and his teammates." As long as our offense doesn't fall into disconnect, we will win this game. ”

Blatter was right, although Addison's play in the first half was unique, but the two cores of the Cavaliers were also not limited by the Miamins. LeBron. James had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Irving had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and the two still supported the offensive banner of the Cavaliers, and relatively suppressed the Heat on the court.

In the away team's locker room, Addison spent the entire halftime recuperating time, and the coaching staff deliberately asked the team's masseur to give Addison a full body massage at halftime, so that the Chinese point guard could better recover his strength. Addison only rested for less than 4 minutes in the entire first half, and has been serving as the team's offensive arrow, constantly breaking through and running, and the defense has to do his best to limit Kyrie. Irving. Even if his physical endurance is among the best in the league, he is now feeling tired.

…… Like Kobe Bryant in his prime. Bryant, who leads the whole court on the offensive end and has to deal with the enemy's outside arrow-level on the defensive end, can still run the whole game and even overtime...... God knows what is going on with the body structure of that 'black mamba', which is probably something that others can't envy no matter how much they envy it......

"Eddie, do you want Ennis to switch defensive positions with you in the second half and let him deal with Kyrie. Irving? Spoelstra consulted with the assistant coach and proposed to Addison. They want the Chinese point guard to focus more on offense in the second half and defend Iman. A 3-and-D player like Shambaugh is undoubtedly much easier than defending Irving. Although Ennis's speed is not as fast as Addison's, he is also a flexible type of small forward. As long as he can put some limits on Irving, the coaching staff doesn't expect him to be able to guard the Cavaliers point guard who is at the top of the league in scoring ability.

Addison hesitated, a little worried about his teammates' ability to restrain Kyrie. Owen, but reason told him he had to conserve energy in the most critical places, and his physical exertion in the first half was already more serious than before. He looked up at James. Ennis, the 24-year-old who had only officially entered the NBA, nodded to him decisively, indicating that he had no problem.

- Okay, that's it!
