Brooklyn, the most populous New York city on Long Island, wasn't Addison's childhood home, he only visited it during his homeless wanderings.

- I heard you're coming to New York to play, buddy?

Addison, who was about to rest in the hotel room, heard the vibration of the message received by his mobile phone, he grabbed it and took a look, and the sender's name was remarked as 'rattlesnake'.

An indescribable light flashed through the boy's eyes, and he stared at the screen for a moment before sending a reply.

- The game the day after tomorrow, with the Brooklyn Nets.

- Haha, it's a pity that I'm a supporter of the Knicks, so I won't go to the game the day after tomorrow. What do you think? Do you have time tomorrow? Come and take a look around my territory, I'm sure I'll blow your mind!

- When I'm done, I'm going to train tomorrow and I can't be distracted by anything else.

- Well, it's your style...... Well, the night after tomorrow, I'll wait for you.

Addison, who put down his phone, sighed uncontrollably, he didn't know what attitude to use to face this guy who had just contacted him.

He was no longer the little guy who roamed the streets of Harlem, often involved in street fights and underground trades......

But that person's impression of him seems to be many years ago......

***

With 14 points and 16 assists, this statistic seems to allow Addison to avoid being responsible for another loss by the Heat, but is that really the case? While all eyes were on him driving his teammates on the fast break, we ignored the rookie's ball control that allowed D.Wade to play his worst performance since the new season, and when he used his passing to make the Miami seem to have more points to blossom, we ignored the rookie's 0-for-3 shooting from the three-point line last night.

"If Addison had hit two more three-pointers, it could have turned the tide of victory, but he couldn't because shooting is known to be his weakest link.

"I don't know if the Heat's uniform team misses Chalmers who left Sacramento at this time, and if Wade misses his good partner at the No. 1 position. But in my opinion, the question of whether Addison is the best point guard for Miami has always existed and will become more and more exposed over time.

"And Wade's patience with Addison's constant possession is probably coming to an end."

……

When Addison saw this hard-to-say objective assessment of himself, he didn't even have to think about who wrote it. Except for Nick, who has been looking down on him since college. No one but Wesley would go to such lengths to find all the blame for in his every performance.

The boy just laughed it off, and no one knew better than himself whether he was the best point guard for Miami. With Wade's character, if he was unhappy with the way he controlled the ball, he would definitely mention it to himself. But at least so far, they've worked well together.

Addison's silence does not mean that others will be indifferent to this. Before waiting for the boy's two friends, Jabari. Parker and Jersey. Granger has said that Hubby. Brown was the first to step up. The old man, who has not been fierce since leaving the dugout, has been outspoken in his sarcasm about Nick. Wesley ignores the facts, relying only on subjective emotions to discredit them.

"As long as anyone who has no problem with their eyes can see that if there was no Addison in last night's game, the Heat team may not survive the fourth quarter and will collapse!"

Named and refuted by such a respected authority in the basketball world, Nick . Wesley winced for a moment. If it was someone else, he would still like to fight with the other party with a pen. But Hubby. Brown, the old man's reputation and status made him too afraid to speak fiercely about him.

None of that is for Addison to focus on, though, as all he needs to do now is focus on the next game.

After a day in the Big Apple, the Heat made their way to Barclays Center, a magnificent stadium that is the same as Madison Garden as New York's competitive sports complex.

The Brooklyn Nets, the Eastern team originally based in New Jersey, have played a strong role several times in history, and have fallen into the abyss several times. The Nets trident at the dawn of the 21st century has given countless people hope. Kidd's Wonderful Biography and Wen Si. Carter, Richard. Jefferson's violent dunking performance once immersed the entire league in their beauty.

It's a pity that the Trident has not been able to break through the encirclement of the Eastern team, and has repeatedly failed in the playoffs, which eventually led to the three unbearable failures and parting ways.

In 2012, the acquisition of the Nets, who had relocated to Brooklyn, New York, brought a lot of money to the team, which had been in the doldrums for a long time.

After renewing the contract of Delong. Williams and Brooke. After López, the team successively brought in Joe. Johnson, Paul. Pierce and Kevin. Garnett and many other powerful veterans. The Nets suddenly became one of the biggest powerhouses in the East, and the roster was amazingly rich.

Reached the playoffs two seasons in a row and couldn't move forward. The Nets have a good roster on paper, but their long history of poverty and weakness has left them a long way from officially having an impact in the league.

"This game is going to have to be won, guys!" In the locker room, Spoelstra tapped a few times on the tactical board, "Such a pseudo-strong team that can only be seen on paper is the lever for us to measure whether we can make the playoffs." If even they can't get past it, it can only mean that Pat. Mr. Riley and I ...... I overestimate you. ”

The Filipino looked at Addison, who was sitting on the side arranging his knee pads: "Add, pay attention to your opponent today." Although the fat man is no longer as ferocious as he was in Utah, it is undeniable that he is still the best point guard in the league. ”

The boy lifted his clear, cat-like eyes and nodded to the manager. He never took his opponent lightly, not to mention that the guy he was going to face today wouldn't allow him to relax in the slightest.

"Don't worry, sir!" Wade hugged Addison's shoulders enthusiastically, "If Addison can't stand that fat man's big ass, I can help!" I've always learned a lot about it! ”

"For God's sake, Dwyan! Why didn't I know you had such a knack for men's asses?! "Chris. Bosh put on an evasive look of horror and yelled at Wade.

The locker room erupted in unbridled laughter, mixed with heckling and shouting.

Addison watched quietly with a smile on his face, he liked the atmosphere, though years of silence had made him forget how to join in.

- If only I could laugh out loud......

"That's the best place to be in New York, for the NBA...... Wade whispered as he shook his head, the look on his face hard to describe, "even with a bad record, the attendance is still frighteningly high." ”

Addison blinked, glancing around at the same court he had been to at the time of the draft. It's hard to say whether they're Nets fans or not, but it's quite shocking to the eye.

"That's nothing, boy." Wade tapped his elbow on the boy's arm, "When we go to the Knicks' turf to play on the road, you'll understand that some things in this world are just so unfair......"

"What's unfair? Are you talking about the difference in the handsomeness of the two of us, Dwyane? A figure with a strong physique that even looked a little fat walked over and smiled and hugged the Heat spirit.

"Come on, man, I'm one of the 50 most beautiful men in basketball selected by Sports Illustrated." Wade waved his finger at the other party disappreciatively, "The only place in your whole body that can beat me is fat. ”

With that, Wade introduced Addison to the strong figure: "Teach us this rookie, Delon, how to dominate the game as a point guard." ”

Delong. Williams, by Jerry. Sloan's single-handedly created gem, one of the few in the league to make Chris. A top point guard that Paul would have a headache for.

Mention Delong. Williams, people's first impression should be the Utah Jazz team a few years ago. Starting with the pick-and-roll and ending with the pick-and-roll, the tough and ferocious Judah has made one Western Conference team hate the playoffs.

"Don't worry, little one, I'll teach you well." Delon grinned and raised an eyebrow at Addison, the sound of his chewing gum making his words slurred.

Wade on the side winked at Addison while Delon was not paying attention, but he knew very well what his rookie strength was, and anyone who dared to despise him would pay the price.

***

The starting lineup for this game for the Nets is center Brooke. Lopez, power forward Kevin. Garnett, small forward Bojan. Bogdanovic, shooting guard Joe. Johnson, point guard Delon. Williams.

It does seem to be a good lineup, but in Addison's eyes, it is also a lineup with obvious advantages and disadvantages. As long as you can catch the flaws of the other party, it is not difficult to win this game.

Brooke. López and Chris. Bosh jumped the ball, and the 'Dragon King' had a clear advantage in bounce, and the basketball was allocated to Addison in the back. Delong. Williams didn't have the slightest idea of pressing, and went straight back to the half court to prepare for defense. Even at his peak, his speed was much worse than Addison's, not to mention that he is now over thirty years old and has experienced injuries and illnesses.

Addison took the ball across the half court to face the long-established Delon Deron Brown. Williams, he didn't hesitate to call Bosh over as cover. The boy wanted to use this pick-and-roll to see how long it took for Delon to get around the screen, so as to judge that the opponent still retains the speed and explosiveness of his prime.

Addison accelerated sharply at the moment when the cover was formed, and Delon, who was not strong laterally and began to weaken, watched the boy shake himself off, but he could only use his strength to get rid of Bosh's entanglement.

The Nets' interior defense is different from other teams, and it is power forward Kevin who guards the basket under the basket. Garnett, and center Brooke. Lopez pulled out to defend Sean who was floating on the outside. Williams.

The 38-year-old 'Wolf King' didn't mention blocking Addison near the free-throw line, knowing that his ability to move was outrageous, and that the high post was likely to be shaken off by the fast rookie. He simply stayed under the basket, relying on his height and reach advantage and rich experience to concentrate on preventing opponents from hitting the basket.

Addison also saw Garnett's intentions, and he didn't waste the holes left for his defense, and immediately made a pull-up jump shot after breaking through to the free throw line.

The basketball spun through the air and into the net, and the 17-foot jump shot under the basket has gradually become Addison's regular weapon, and he has become more and more proficient in using it.

Delong. Instead of being annoyed when he saw this scene, Williams inadvertently hooked the corners of his mouth. The rookie's opening shot also aroused his desire to attack, which was very strong.

"The first class begins, rookie."
