Chapter 275: Alliance Rules

"Drip !!" LeBron in a high-speed counterattack. James' strong body like a heavy armored car and Whiteside and Ruhr under the basket. Deng bumped together, and after hearing the referee's whistle, he was satisfied with throwing the basketball with his hand, and he stabilized his center of gravity and fell back to the ground.

Ruhr. Deng immediately raised his arm to signal that the defensive foul should be carried on his head, but the referee didn't even look at the British's signal, but pointed at Whiteside with a resolute face: "Away team No. 21, defensive foul!" Second personal foul in a single quarter!! ”

“hat??!!” Whiteside's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at the baseline referee, who couldn't understand why the referee was giving him a penalty when his teammates had already raised their hands to take responsibility. He's the Heat's main center, do these guys want him to be replaced before the first quarter is halfway through?! Come on, this is a playoff game broadcast live across the United States, what the hell!!

Spoelstra on the sidelines was also protesting loudly to the referees, knowing better than Whiteside what the rules and unspoken rules of NBA decisions are. With the usual attitude of commercial leagues towards live games in the United States, it is impossible for the refereeing team to let the main players of both sides suffer foul trouble so early, especially to target the main center who contributes a lot on both offensive and defensive ends. Generally speaking, ratings and neutral fans' expectations of a good game are the top priorities of the league and the refereeing staff, provided that the general situation is ......

About 6 minutes into the first quarter, the Miami Heat had already recorded 5 fouls overall. Deng, Ennis, and Addison each once. And with the exception of Addison, who was fouled on a man, the other four were all free throws to the Cavaliers, and the free throws alone allowed the opponent to score six points (LBJ and Mozgov missed one free throw each). What's more, the Heat have now accumulated a record of five fouls in a single quarter, and from now on, every foul they commit, regardless of whether it is a layup foul or not, will allow opponents to get a free throw opportunity.

It seems that Addison's influence in the hearts of the league's top brass is still not comparable to LeBron's. James + Carey. Owen, it's no wonder that no matter how good this kid is, he's still just a rookie...... Spoelstra whispered in his heart. Although this alliance welcomes miracles, it is impossible to welcome the miracles of the crossbar levers in people's hearts, which will not only not make the vast majority of people feel excited, but will make them instinctively uncomfortable and confused. When this out-of-the-ordinary miracle begins to show signs, the league's top brass will have to take action, although they can't directly manipulate the direction of the game, but they can influence the game as much as possible through their own methods (see the 2016-17 Finals G4... It wasn't meant by the Black Knights, but that game was... Difficulty looking directly at ...... )。

The team of the current league's first man was reversed by a rookie led by the remnants? This kind of drama is unacceptable in the eyes of Americans, and even if it is only a momentum, it is hardly welcome. LeBron. James has been portrayed as a relentless and hard-working man since he entered the league, and his two losses to the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals have been accepted by Americans and given him a 'classic' rating. Because the Spurs are an old-fashioned, tough, and immovable character in this league, the loss of LBJ to them will not make viewers feel uneasy. And now this Miami Heat, the team that has brought a lot of surprise and hope to the league, this team that has lost two main players and is centered on a yellow-skinned rookie, if they come back and win against LeBron. James's team, then it will be interesting to see what fans across the United States will say about it.

To put it bluntly, it's not just a Cleveland Cavaliers that are standing in the way of Addison and his team right now, but also the hesitation of the league's top brass and even something that goes beyond competitive sports and business leagues. These factors may not be intuitively as good as LBJ and Carey. Irving is so lethal, but the obstacle to the Heat is deeper and difficult to get rid of.

Spoelstra was speechless about this, and could only replace the somewhat grumpy Whiteside with Alexey when James made free throws. Kinsa. If Whiteside is blown by the referee due to emotional problems, the Heat will lose even more. There were some things that he couldn't change with a few words or adjustments, and the head coach gestured to Addison, signaling the other party to pay attention to Kyrie. Irving's marking reduces the pressure on interior players to make up for it as much as possible. Now that the Heat are four points behind the home team at 14-18 and have given their opponents 18 points in the first quarter, their defense is really not very solid.

"Come to think of it, man, why aren't you the one on this team who makes technical free throws? Didn't you say that once you feel hot, you can be invincible? Addison, who had dribbled past half court, continued to verbally ** his own JR. Smith, "Why David. Blatter didn't give you the privilege of letting go of offense like Carey did? Why are you now relegated to the point where you have to switch defenses to get into the starting lineup? ”

J.R. Smith let out a long exhale in annoyance, and Addison's words pierced his heart like pins and needles. JR, who is over 30 years old, has matured compared to the beginning, but he is still not to the point where he is not shocked, and he is still the one whose thinking is most easily disturbed among the five people present.

"Looks like you don't know how disgusting your mouth is when you just unlocked it, rookie! Looking at the scoreline now, what can you do other than use childish rhetoric? Why don't you close your mouth and be silent! He replied in a vicious voice, unable to hide his anger in his words.

"That's not going to work, buddy, I'm going to have to eat steak and chickpea sauce with this mouth...... What do you eat for lunch? Potatoes with roast beef? Or tomato chicken wings with onion soup? Addison's words were full of chatter, and the more angry his opponent was, the more obvious his smile became, and he didn't know he could be such a sinister guy until his aphasia was cured.

JR. Smith felt that he was about to be driven crazy by the Chinese in front of him in the past few minutes, and he kept telling himself not to care about everything the other party said, but he was repeatedly provoked and couldn't help but shoot back. However, Addison often talked about him left and right, so that JR almost couldn't keep up with the young man's rhythm, and he felt very anxious.

At the moment when JR. Smith was helplessly annoyed, Addison at the top of the arc suddenly rose up, and his center of gravity rose and quickly rushed to the left. JR, who couldn't react, was flattened by him in one step, and just about to turn around and move, he bumped into Ruhl. Deng Ji's body that blocked it.

“Sh*t!!! Supplemental !! "The roar is not down, LeBron. James had switched positions to Addison, who was moving with the ball, to keep the Chinese point guard out of the paint. Addison didn't pause either, just moving to the corner area and facing the LBJ, slapping the basketball from the front of his body to the right side with his left hand, while taking a step towards the free throw line with his right leg.

James took a cautious step back with his left leg, and the next moment he saw Addison lightly shake his center of gravity and make a pull ball in the direction of the baseline and turn, believing that he had predicted LBJ hurriedly moved sideways to the right. However, the Chinese point guard who completed the turn did not take advantage of the momentum, but hit the basketball from the front of the body to the right side of the body with his left hand again, and the center of gravity changed to the right side without hesitation, and once again made a momentum to the free throw line area.

Taken aback, James hurriedly pulled back his center of gravity, lateral movement was originally his weakness, he puffed up his chest and wanted to make physical contact with Addison, using his strength to delay the opponent's breakthrough. "Bang !!" In front of him, there was a flickering figure wearing flowers and butterflies, and Addison, who was originally moving towards the free throw line, turned into a shadow and appeared on the right side of LBJ's body!!

"Oh! It's another pull ball and turn, without any intervals! Addison's control of his body's center of gravity is simply amazing!! "Charles. Barkley's eyes widened in shock, "LBJ is shaken away!" Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he was indeed shaken off solidly!! ”

James, who was shaken off in an instant, frowned and wanted to move sideways again to pounce back, but he bumped into Akinsa who was raised from the restricted area as a cover, and in a hurry, he had to watch Addison hold the ball along the baseline and go straight to the basket! Facing Mozgov's defense, Addison jumped up from the left side of the three-second zone and picked the basketball into the net with a large, flowing backhand!

"The combination of great physical fitness and excellent ball control skills and an astonishing grasp of the center of gravity is an Addison-style score! I'm sure this attack will score the best five goals of the day!! Drexler exclaimed in amazement, "Being able to shake LeBron one-on-one on the flank. James breaks through to score, and there are not many people in the league who can do it, not to mention that Addison also does it all so spectacularly! ”

"If it weren't clear that it was 2015, I would have thought it was Tim. Hardaway is once again wearing a Heat jersey. Look at the reaction of the Clevelands on the spot, who were a full two seconds slow before booing...... Obviously, these home fans were also amazed by Addison's passing move. Barkley said with a smile, and the appearance made countless Cavaliers fans in front of the TV quickly wake up from the amazement just now, and pat their heads in annoyance. How can you be excited about your opponent's goal?!

***

After the goal, Addison patted his arm while retreating to the halfcourt, and he could clearly feel that Mozgov had just hit his left arm when he was defending, and the referee could not have failed to see this. He hit the interior this time to fight for fouls, and Mozgov has already carried a defensive foul. Blatter had to let him go off the pitch. Everyone knows how well the Cavaliers can protect the basket without Mozgov, and that's what Addison wants to see the most.

- No matter how bad your eyesight is, you can't even see such an obvious thug...... Do you want to do things so badly......

Spoelstra, who was on the sidelines, pursed his lips with a smile when he saw this scene, and he had already seen how relative the law enforcement scale of the referee team in this game was. At least in the first quarter, the Heat will have a hard time dominating.

"Maybe it's going to be a good practice session for Addison today, so that he can really see how the league works in the highlights...... "He turned his head to assistant coach David Brown, who was sitting next to him. "It may not be a bad thing for him." ”
