Addison had already sat up from his bed when the scent of sand and palm trees shone into his bedroom in the morning sun, which was characteristic of the South Coast, and his face was still a little dazed from sleepiness under his short and messy hair. It wasn't until the morning news, which was scheduled to be scheduled as an alarm, rang out of his phone, that he rubbed his hands on his face twice and rolled over from the bed slowly.

"Meow ......" had woken up and was wandering around the house when Winnie heard the noise, and ran into the bedroom with a soft cry and approached Addison's feet. This little Manchiken is already very familiar with him, and now the first thing Addison does after waking up is to pick up the kitten and rua twice, Winnie's big eyes that will squint after a few scratches at the base of her ears make Addison very happy, and he can have a good mood at the beginning of the day.

Before washing, Addison went to prepare food for Winnie, cats under the age of one should not eat anything except formula cat food, Addison followed the instructions of the veterinarian and poured some formula cat food into Winnie's food bowl. Kittens purr happily when eating, and whenever Addison hears this sound, his eyebrows and eyes are curled with satisfaction, and his expression is somewhat similar to that of a cat.

The Charlotte Hornets, who have been winless in three games since the start of the season, picked up their first win yesterday at home against the Chicago Bulls, beating the Chicagoans with a 130-105 record. The Hornets had seven players in double figures in the game, and Jeremy came off the bench. Lamb had a team-high 20 points, four rebounds and three assists; Jeremy, who also came off the bench. Lin also played well, making 4-of-8 shooting from the field and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line, contributing 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The Hornets' rotation scored a full 23 more points than the Bulls' bench lineup. Butler & Paul. Gasol's impressive performance will also be difficult to close the gap. ”

Addison, who walked into the bathroom, raised his eyebrows after hearing the report in the news, he already knew that the Hornets would be able to show good performance and record sooner or later this season, and it was impossible for that lineup with many firepower points not to be feared by the league. The reason why they suffered consecutive defeats in the first three rounds is simply because the team lineup has not yet been successfully run-in...... Tacit understanding needs to be established game by game, and the Hornets, whose lineup has undergone major changes this summer, will not be able to show the combat effectiveness of the lineup without more than ten games to strengthen the run-in.

As for the Chicago Bulls, since Tom. Thibodeau was resigned by management, and Iowa State head coach Fred Brown. Since Hojberg took office, the Bulls are still in a period of transition without a clue. Hojberg is not an extremely defensive coach, so the Bulls under his command can clearly see that the defensive end is free of the frightening suffocation of the Thibodeau era; However, on the offensive end, the Bulls have not improved very much, and it is still Jimmy on the outside. Butler vs. Paul on the inside. Gasol led the team with his individual ability, and it is impossible to see what system he brings to the team. The Bulls' 3-2 record so far this season is not equal to their strong roster, especially tonight's defeat to the Hornets, which shows that the Bulls are unable to attack and defend against teams with many firepower. Although Hojberg is a coach making his NBA debut, he doesn't have much time to prove himself...... Because the Bulls are not a perennially weak team, the team's leader, Jimmy. Butler is not a submissive and bitter character.

However, none of this needs to be paid too much attention to Addison, and with the current strength of the Heat, they basically won't be afraid of any opponent in the Eastern Conference. The Miamians aren't just aiming for the playoffs this season, they're confident enough to face the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors in the playoffs, and they're even ambitious enough — for the league's highest honors.

"There will come a time when I'll step over the bodies of all those who stand in my way and walk to Bill. The ...... who took the trophy in front of Russell" Addison muttered vaguely as he put the peanut butter-soaked toast into his mouth, "Since you have entered this league, you have to write my name in the history of the O'Brien Cup, and that is enough to make a career, isn't it?" ”

The Heat will play the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road tomorrow, and they'll be on a passenger plane to the icy city of Minnesota tonight, so Addison wants to take advantage of his free time in the morning to practice for himself. He wants to be in good shape during the competition period, so the training time and number of training sessions are extremely important, and at least three training sessions a day on non-competition days has become his standard.

"Gary, I'll probably get to the gym around 7:30, and so will you, right? Make the most of your morning, old man, it's not a good habit to be late. Without the slightest hesitation, the young Chinese woke up Gary, who was obviously still asleep, with a phone call. Payton, being your own trainer requires a lot of energy, and it's impossible to get a good salary and only remember to train once or twice a week.

"Okay, okay, kid, I'm going now, I'm going ......" Peyton was accustomed to Addison's paranoid training requirements, and he responded with a thick hazy tone as he sat up from the bed, "You know that sleep time is very important at my age, otherwise I will easily hypoglycemia, and the blood viscosity of old people is not the same as that of young people." ”

"Come on, Gary, you're not even 50 yet...... At the peak of your trainers, the golden O'Brien Cup is still waiting for you. Addison smiled and hung up the phone, changed into his tracksuit, picked up his training bag and left the house.

The electronic door of the garage slowly rises, and Addison's current car is still the same black Chevrolet Camaro, and the car looks perfectly used because of regular maintenance. Addison's obsession with the Camaro series is difficult for many people to understand, after all, this thing is about 'faith', who made him like Bumblebee at the first sight of watching "Transformers" as a child......

Standing in front of the garage door, Addison took a deep breath, the morning air on the South Coast was pleasantly fresh, and even though it was already November, the air here was still warm, clear and softly moist. Addison has been in Miami for almost a year and a half, and he loves it, the air, the atmosphere, the life here, and so on.

He felt that it was the same as Auckland, and it felt like "home".

***

Thomas. Shatz once said that they always say that this person or another has not yet found the ideal, but in fact the ideal cannot be found, it can only be created.

Addison didn't know if his ideals had been actually created, but he was clear about his career aspirations - to win a championship, lift the O'Brien Cup, and leave his name in NBA history; However, his ideals of life are very vague, and he doesn't even know if he will have ideals after his career is over. After putting aside basketball, which is an extremely important role in his life, Addison is just a very ordinary ordinary person, who will doubt and even question himself from time to time, and will also have no clue about many things that must be faced in life such as future and relationships.

But at least now he knows what he's going to do and what he's going to do it for...... Just as he drove to the training gym on the street in the morning, when there were no passers-by in the morning, he was indeed an outlier compared to the comfortable and slow pace of life in Miami, an outlier who was watched, expected and cared for by the city.

Sometimes Addison felt like a character in the middle of the world, and his childhood was chaotic and chaotic, but it gave him much more solid experience than his peers; His youth was stable and affluent, and his good family gave him the opportunity to go on the basketball court, and finally allowed him to determine his dream and career; Today, his youth is full of competition and hard work, fighting for honor, leadership, and championships, and doing his best to become the image he wants. So far, his life has been very full, but it is as if he has been prescribed, so that he can't help but feel a little unreal while living his life wholeheartedly.

However, Addison is not a complaining character, and besides, he has nothing to complain about in his current life. He just wanted to know where the end of the story would be if he was really the protagonist of a story. Does the story already have an ending for him? And said that this story will eventually give the pen to himself, and he will paint his own life?

- If I tell others what this 'person in the trap' thinks, I guess they will think that my thinking is not normal...... Addison smiled noncommittally and shook his head away from the whims in his head. Life is his own, he just needs to live it seriously, and others have no obligation or ability to dictate his life. Compared to many people, his life is still very successful and simple, training, competition, dating, falling in love, starting a family...... His life didn't have much of a standard, and he never thought about giving himself a plan for what kind of turbulent situation he had. All he had to do was go his own way, a path called Addison, that no one had walked before.

As his thoughts flowed, he had already driven to the training hall. There are tube-based parking spaces for players, as well as open-air parking lots, and Addison always likes to park his car in the open parking lot in the autumn and winter, which is a habit that he doesn't care about at all.

Walking down from the black Camaro, he looked at the wide and simple training hall not far away, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He's been training here as a master for more than a year, and when he first came here last summer, he probably didn't think it would take him a year to feel a sense of responsibility here. Maybe he'll be training here for many, many more years, or maybe he'll be here as an opponent in two or three seasons...... But that's not what he's thinking about right now.

Addison smiled, tucked his training bag over his shoulder, and walked to the training hall in the brighter sunshine on the south coast.

- Yes, there is still a long way to go, as long as he lives seriously.
