"You hateful bastard, you've stolen the limelight from my territory!" Damian. Lillard didn't speak ill of Addison for losing the game, but instead hugged the Chinese rookie and punched his fist on the shoulder.

Lillard played a great game, scoring 28 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but he did not do well enough on the defensive end to make Addison perform calmly.

LaMarcus. Aldridge blasted Chris from mid-range. Bosh, 30 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists are enough to make the 'Dragon King' lose face. But his poor defensive performance and dumb fire in the final moments of the game also became one of his criticisms, and the Trail Blazers' interior core lacked a big enough heart to be determined enough, which was the biggest obstacle to his transformation from star player to great player.

However, the biggest shock to the media in tonight's game was Addison, the rookie point guard who played 38 minutes and led the team to defeat opponents.

With 31 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals, there were only 2 turnovers in the whole game, and he not only revitalized the team's offense by himself, but also burst out with firepower that he had never had before.

What's the situation?! Hasn't this Chinese point guard always been known for his pass-first and not good at individual offense?! In the past, it was rare for him to score 20 points, so why did he directly turn into a full-fledged CP3 today?!

Spoelstra had mixed feelings about this, and he could naturally see that Addison's explosive style had a lot to do with the Trail Blazers' poor defense, but even that was enough to prove that Addison was capable of leading the team in Wade's absence; It's just that if Addison can't often show such a performance in future games, then the media will soon praise it and can't wait to fall into the ground.

He didn't know if Addison was ready to take that big gap......

But for now, all he's concerned about is what's coming, and after racking up his crazy stats and leading his team to victory, the Heat's uniform team told Spoelstra that Addison had to go to the post-game press conference. If the Chinese rookie is still absent this time, I am afraid that the media will put huge pressure on the Heat.

Spoelstra pinched his eyebrows helplessly, and glanced at the young Chinese who walked with him to the press conference: "Just stay calm, Eddie, Ms. Lysench is very experienced, and she will help you round the field when you don't know how to answer." ”

Alvin. Lysench, the veteran sign language who helped Addison with interviews with domestic media, has now officially hired her as Addison's accompanying interpreter.

The flashing lights at the press conference made Addison a little helpless, he fought the whole game, and now he just wants to hurry back to the hotel to rest, his biological clock has always been very punctual.

"I waited two months and finally got this rookie at the post-match press conference...... He's harder to hope for than a superstar. A New York Times reporter teased a colleague next to him.

"It's going to be fun, it's the first time I've seen people who can't speak at a press conference."

The press officer at the press conference nodded when he saw that the dignitaries had arrived, and then announced that it was time to ask questions.

"Addison, led the team to a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, how do you feel about that victory?" A white reporter stood up, asking a fairly peaceful question.

Addison glanced at Alvin. Lysench, whose interpreter signaled to him that there was no problem, the Chinese rookie began to answer reporters' questions in sign language.

– It was a fantastic game, the Trail Blazers were an absolute powerhouse, and I was excited to play against Darmian. It's really nice to win, we played well, we played as well as we deserved and the whole team played well.

Spoelstra nodded beside him, Addison's emotional intelligence was not low, and although it was the first time he had faced such a formation, his answer was decent.

"So you got a 30+10 oversized double-double in this game, what do you think drove you to play so well?"

– Maybe it's a feeling, I work really well with my teammates, and that great feeling gives me a lot of motivation to play better than ever.

"So, Addison, you're trying to say," a slightly chubby reporter suddenly stood up, "do you want to be more conformist to your feelings than the coach's tactical set-up?" You've always been dominated by your own feelings, not team tactics? ”

Addison was stunned, he hadn't experienced the scene of being questioned by the reporters in the audience before he finished his words, and he was a little stunned for a while. Fortunately, Spoelstra immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "My game is very simple for the team, to ensure a good chance to counterattack, and then everything is up to Addison to judge on the field." Since I was given a great deal of freedom, I naturally trusted Addison's judgment and feeling on the court. He did really well, especially when we lost Dwyane for a while, and he gave everyone hope. ”

Another female reporter stood up: "Coach Spoelstra, can I interpret your words to mean that you think Addison is Bidwyne. Wade's better team core? Do you think Addison is much better than Wade as the leader of the team? ”

…… This group of damned journalists!

Spoelstra cursed in his heart, from the beginning of Michael. When Beasley joined, they were stirring up trouble with their leaders, and it was the same when James joined, and now it's Addison's turn.

"Dwyane will always be the leader of the team, and that's not going to change. His ability and spirit are something we continue to do and everyone in the team is looking forward to his return. ”

The press officer noticed that the situation was turning against Addison, and he hurriedly called a reporter from the Miami Herald. The reporter asked two innocuous questions, and Addison passed the test with ease.

The Chinese rookie survived the first post-match press conference of his career, and he was largely silent for the second half of the game, with Spoelstra speaking for him.

"Well done, Add, and being silent a lot of times is also a clever way to deal with it." Spoelstra praised him after the press conference, thinking that this was also a bad way to deal with it.

……

The luxurious double-double of 31 points and 12 assists once again focused the nation's attention on this low-key but often surprising rookie, a statistic that many guards have never received in their careers. And Addison didn't brush up on the underdog's head with a double-double, but shined against the second place in the West.

"As I said, Addison's potential cannot be tapped, and he can often burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness in the face of a critical moment." ESPN basketball expert Charter, who once gave Addison a report on rookie players, was named Charter. Forde wrote in his personal column, "But we should also see clearly that a 30+10 does not mean that Addison already has the strength of a superstar, in fact, he is still far behind." If it weren't for the Heat's counterattack and pick-and-roll tactics that just hit the Trail Blazers' weak defensive ability, Addison's play would not have been so easy. ”

On the second day of the game, the NBA officially announced the results of the third round of the 2015 All-Star voting. When the results of the second round of voting were announced, Addison was busy training and didn't pay attention at all.

LeBron. James still leads the league with 971299 votes, and the Warriors' star Stephen Brown. Curry was close with 958014 votes. In third place is Pelicans leader Anthony Brown. Davis, who has 922381 votes, is a rare match for a 21-year-old.

On the Eastern Defender side, John. Wall was in the lead, with 564977 votes. Dwyan. Although Wade is plagued by injuries, his popularity has not diminished in the slightest, and he has already received 507326 votes. Raptors point guard Kyle. Lowry managed to overtake Carey. Irving, with 406974 votes, is fourth among Eastern Conference guards.

However, both Kyle. Lowry or Carey. Owen was left behind by Addison. The Chinese rookie received 482727 votes, second only to Dwyan. Wade is third among Eastern Conference guards. Such votes caused the media in Toronto and Cleveland, led by cheating and complaining that "there are too many Chinese."

But this time there were significantly fewer voices of ridicule or criticism of Addison, and now the whole country is still in a state of shock by the 30+10 of Chinese rookies, and Addison's votes exploded on the night of the game.

Judging by the current vote count, Addison basically grasped the opportunity to enter the All-Star Game, as for whether he can surpass Dwyan. Wade is in the starting lineup in the East, and then everything is fate.

- Add, there's an endorsement invitation I want you to see, it's an invitation from a Chinese game company.

Sam. Bernie's message left Addison stunned...... Chinese? Game? In addition to signing with NIKE, he now has very few contracts with other advertising companies.

As the agent passed him the details, he learned that this is an online game called "Basketball World", and the development company is called Play y City, which has risen in domestic online games in recent years, and they are eager to expand their influence. After developing Basketball World, they wanted to find a spokesperson who would attract the attention of basketball fans.

- Why do you like such an endorsement contract, Sam?

- Add, your Chinese ancestry can make your business worth several times more than the average NBA star, and we can make the most of that. I've done my research, and the Play City game company has a good reputation in China, and the warm-up for World of Basketball is doing a good job. Endorse a game that can become popular in China can be quite beneficial to your publicity.

- Professionals are just reassuring...... I listen to you, Sam. However, it won't affect my game after signing the contract, right?

- No, Play City guarantees that the filming of endorsement ads will take place during the offseason. We won't officially cross paths with them until June.

Addison rolled his eyes in thought, then curled the corners of his mouth.

- Then promise them, I'll leave the specific endorsement salary or something to you, after all, you are a professional.
