Chapter 64: The Iron Army of the Plateau

"So...... Didn't you respond to those two beauties or something? On the second day of the game against the Timberwolves, in the training gym in Miami, Wade changed into a jersey and asked in surprise, "People ask if you want to have a relationship......

Addison shrugged his shoulders at Wade as usual, and if he didn't respond, he didn't respond. Fools can see that Taylor at that time. Hill was joking, could it be that he was still stupidly hanging by that cunning girl?

"No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet, Add. As a man at that point, be a little more flexible. The Heat shook his head with a hateful expression, "But that Barbara. Parveen was a wonderful girl, and she had a temperament that other girls didn't have...... Alright, boy, don't look at me like that, I know you like Asian girls. ”

The two of them walked into the training court, and Wade was still instilling his opinion to Addison: "Listen to me, there are indeed great Asian girls, for example, the last time I went to Taiwan for business, that night-"

"I want to hear something amazing! Dwyan, will I record everything you're talking about now and show it to Union? Bosh, who heard the words on the side, shouted loudly, causing Wade's expression to instantly switch from spring to sage mode.

Addison smiled and focused on training. His love values are greatly influenced by Joe, and his father has told him more than once that fate can't be forced, and his other half will always come when it's time to come. As for Barbara. Parvin, this supermodel girl is indeed beautiful, but Addison's feelings for her are only appreciation, not to the level of liking.

Returning to the court, with Addison's strong 20+ points for the first time in his career last night, the Heat improved their record to 4-2, temporarily ranking fourth in the East behind the Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards.

Addison himself continues to dominate the NBA's official rookie rankings, followed by Jabari. Parker. The Bucks rookie had an eye-catching performance against the Grizzlies last night, finishing with 15 points, five rebounds and two assists on 6-of-11 shooting, making it easy for Cornett to defend him. Lee and Tony. Aaron has suffered. As a result, the Bucks defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, a Western powerhouse with a previous 6-0 record, which shocked the media.

After a busy schedule in the opening stages, the Heat's schedule has finally stabilized. After a two-day break, Miami hosted the Indiana Pacers, a supposedly powerhouse Eastern Conference team.

The Pacers have been in trouble this season, and the core of the team, Paul. George was reimbursed for the season because of a broken leg. After the start of the season, the team had a large number of injuries. Hill and power forward David. West was injured in both.

The Pacers who came to Miami were "warmly welcomed" by the home team, and no one in the NBA will show mercy because of the misfortune of the opponent.

Although the spirited Roy. Hibbert caused a lot of trouble for the Heat's interior (and the Heat rarely had a time when it wasn't...... But Addison took advantage of the slow movement of the opponent's two interior lines, Hibbert and Scola, and led the team to a fast-break counterattack, disrupting the Pacers' defensive formation in the first quarter.

The Pacers, who lacked several key players, were completely unable to support it from the third quarter and quickly collapsed. Frank who doesn't see any hope. Vogel replaced all the main forces as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter and announced that he surrendered and conceded defeat. In the end, the Heat defeated the Pacers 104-85 at home to get their fifth win of the season and send their opponent to a seventh loss.

Addison's stats in the game weren't impressive, as what he did the most was to throw the ball forward as a setter on the counter-attack, and this kind of passing didn't add much to the stats. The Chinese boy played 28 minutes and only contributed 11 points, 7 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal on the stats column.

The Miamians who have taken out their opponents will not be able to rest up, as their opponents will be very strong next. Players who have long been accustomed to traveling around the United States boarded American Airlines planes and flew to Atlanta, one of the three highland cities in the United States.

"I found that the owner has increased the number of live broadcasts of the Heat a lot this season," Barkley in the live broadcast seat touched his smooth and shiny head, "Is it because Miami has a handsome rookie?" So why hasn't Dallas' live stream number improved? They traded past Chandler from Houston. Parsons is a big handsome guy......"

"By the way, Sir Charles, your handsome guy made 1 of 11 shots in the last game, and his recent performance has not been ideal." Kenny. Smith joked with a wicked grin that don't expect TNT's big mouths to show mercy to players who don't play well, taunting is part of their job.

"Speaking of Addison, Shaq, what do you think of him?" Barkley abruptly turned the conversation to Shaq. O'Neal, "You've got the most games we've played against yellow-skinned players in a few of us. ”

The 'big shark' rubbed his chin with one hand and made a thoughtful gesture: "I've been wondering why this little guy hasn't come out with the embarrassing shots that I can capture...... Oh, by the way, Sir Pig, he seems to have sent you to the Shaq Fool once! ”

Barkley's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Smith gloated with a smile and remembered Barkley's 'cute' look on his debut in Addison's debut.

The three people in the live broadcast room joked with each other, and Spoelstra, who was waiting for the game to start on the sidelines, was far from relaxed, and he was full of worries about the game.

This Atlanta Hawks team is simply too well-rounded and has basically no obvious shortcomings. Two starting inside line Ayr. Horford & Paul. Millsap's excellent prowess on both ends of the floor is basically a bode for Chris. Bosh is going to suffer again today. On both flanks, Keller. Korver is a well-known marksman in the league, the 'Swiss Army Knife' Sapo. Severoza is an absolute defensive striker, with excellent individual defensive and defensive ability.

And the Hawks' starting point guard, Jeff. Teague, the guy who never made the All-Star selection, is really a good point guard. Teague is very versatile, can score solo or organize offense, is cool-headed, and can make good contributions on the defensive end. His style and the Grizzlies' Mike. Conley is very much alike, while in the preseason Addison was in opposition to Mike. Conley was struggling.

Spoelstra is also very wary of the opposing head coach, Mike. Budenholzer. This tutelage was taught by Greg. Popovich's shrewd coach has built the Eagles into a united and tough team in just one season, and his behavior on the court is quite Popovich's.

It's difficult, it's too difficult to find obvious loopholes in this iron army. Spoelstra can only hope that the Heat's players at every position will play well, especially Addison, who will have to mobilize the Miamins' offensive firepower. It is basically a fantasy to rely on the current lineup of the Heat to block the Hawks with defense.

Players from both sides came to the middle of the field to take a stand, and before the game, Jeff. Teague was friendly to Addison and took the initiative to hug the boy.

The referee's whistle screeched through Phillips Arena, and Bosh beat Horford to jump the ball and turn the basketball in Addison's direction. The Chinese boy stepped forward to take the ball in his hand, and as soon as he cast his gaze, he found that the Eagles had completed the defensive positioning neatly and quickly, a full beat faster than the visiting team.

Addison's brow furrowed, and his mind told him that this might be the most difficult game he would face since entering the NBA. Just from that neat and quick return to the defense, he saw something that none of his previous opponents had ever had - discipline, rare discipline.

You can imagine how strong a team with excellent discipline will be defensively.

The boy adopted the most conventional tactic, facing Teague's defense and directly calling for Bosh to cover, moving to the right with the ball. The Hawks' approach was something he had never seen before, and instead of offering a pick-and-roll, Horford stepped near the free-throw line to block it. Sefrosa on the flank immediately moved over to help defend, and Addison did not choose to force a breakthrough, but distributed the ball to Wade.

'The Flash' received the ball and tried to cut into the box, but Severoza moved with great agility and a sliding step blocked Wade near the horns. At this time Jeff. Teague had also bypassed Bosh's cover and re-entered Addison.

Wade dribbled twice with his back to Sefrosha, found that the opponent had no holes to catch, turned around and made a horizontal step before making a jumper. Under the interference of the 'Swiss Army Knife', the ball smashed into the basket and bounced off the rebound under the protection of Millsap.

Spoelstra on the sidelines couldn't help but let out a long sigh of depression, and sure enough, the Hawks' ability to defend and attack pick-and-roll offense was very strong, which made the Heat, which had always relied on pick-and-roll offense, a little uncomfortable.

Severoza moves fast and has a keen sense of defence. He grasped the shortcomings of Miami's two backcourt three-point shooting ability, and restrained the impact of Addison and Wade through the team's defensive rotation and his own movement ability.

The Heat's return speed was also quick, allowing the home team to fail to fight back.

Jeff. Teague controlled the ball unhurriedly across the half court and then handed the ball straight to Al, who had raised the ball. Horford, himself slowly moving towards the flank.

Bosh was afraid of this opponent's shooting ability in the high post, and instead of staying under the basket, he followed directly. Addison moved to the left as Teague did, and suddenly Teague sped up and cut to the basket, where Addison followed two steps and slammed into a thick body.

With the help of Millsap's cover, Teague continued to cut in, while Sean. Williams followed him. Seeing that there were no good chances, the Eagles point guard changed direction again without the ball and quickly rushed to the right corner.

Change direction and shake off Sean. Williams' Teague ran out of space on the right side, and Ruhr. Deng didn't dare to slack off, and pounced on him as soon as possible to prevent him from having a chance to catch the ball.

However, Al who holds the ball high post. Horford threw the ball directly to Keller in the bottom right corner. Korver, thanks to Deng's reinforcement, was given a temporary vacancy.

What would be the result of giving a sharpshooter who has a perennial three-point shooting rate of more than 40 percent......

"!!Shh The sound of the basketball hollowing into the net made the hearts of the Heat players feel cold, even if Sean. Williams had done his best to pounce and block, but he couldn't prevent the opponent from hitting an easy three-pointer from the bottom corner.

The cheers at the Phillips Arena instantly rose in decibels, celebrating the team's 3-0 lead at the opening time.
