Chapter Eighty-Eight: Defeat to Golden State
"It's not a very friendly situation for the Heat, with only about two minutes left before the end of the game, and they are still 10 points behind the home team." Kenny. Smith glanced around at the frenetic Warriors fans outside the live broadcast room, and the cheers of the Oaklanders were even a little distorted in his ears.
"Miami need to score goals and they need to defend against their opponents...... But they can only do the first thing now, but they can't prevent the opponent's attack in any way. Ross Barkley has a rather vicious eye for the game, although he sometimes pretends to be crazy and stupid, "If they can't increase their defensive intensity in the last two minutes, the result of this game will be obvious. ”
Addison didn't know the reason why he couldn't catch up with the difference, and the difference between the two sides was fixed between 8 and 12 points from the second half, which was difficult to narrow. The Heat's offense in this game was not without its ferocity, but the Golden State's counter-attack was equally ferocious and sharp, and Spoelstra's attempts to change defensive tactics were to no avail.
Even if the outside line tries to contain Curry and others with the ball as much as possible, it will expose the gaps in the Warriors' continuous conduction air cuts; The weak ability to protect the basket on the inside made the opponent's attempts to attack the basket more and more daring, and Spoelstra tried to use Chris. Anderson came to improve defense, but 'Birdman' was getting old, and his movement and explosiveness could no longer keep up with the Warriors' speedy team offense.
Addison quietly waited for Curry to dribble and cover up, and the Warriors core had scored 35 points to become the second to Delon. The second opponent after Williams to really blow up the Chinese rookie.
But Curry doesn't see the slightest sign of collapse on Addison's face, and generally rookies who have just entered the league will show irrepressible discouragement or irritability after this painful baptism, and almost no one will be as expressionless as Addison, as if nothing had happened.
This numbing endurance made Curry can't help but feel a little chill down his spine, although he has already scored 35 points in his hand, but Addison also swept 26 points on his head this time, which is the highest single-game score since a Chinese point guard entered the league.
The ball is handed to Drummond. In Green's hands, Green then directed it to Iguodala on the flank. Iguodala tries to break through the heavily guarded Ruhr. Deng didn't succeed and took a step back to pass the ball to Curry, who was moving back to the top of the arc.
Say it's too late, then it's too soon! Eddie, who had been in the same position as Curry, rushed forward! With unexpected timing and slender reach, he broke the lateral transfer ball before Curry!
"The Warriors were careless! They forgot that Addison had a sharper sense of smell for interceptions than wolves! Barkley raised his voice as the situation inside the stadium grew.
After breaking the ball, Addison rushed towards the opposition half, and Iguodala was closely behind him. Rushing to the three-point line, Addison passed the ball to Wade, who cut in from the other side, and the 'Flash' did not attack himself but threw the ball towards the basket again.
Addison jumped up the ground, and Iguodala, who was close to him, jumped up at the same time, trying to stop the Chinese rookie from lifting the Heat with an open dunk.
Iguodala's strong body and reach gave Addison a lot of obstacles, and he was almost certain that he wouldn't be able to make the aerial take, but he was equally unwilling to let this opportunity go to waste......
Just as his body reached the peak of his jump, the Chinese rookie's fingers grabbed the opponent and gently tapped the basketball to the side and back, and then he and Iguodala fell back to the ground at the same time.
The basketball that was spotted flew straight to Ruhr, who was following a few people into the box. In Deng's hand, the Englishman took a big step forward with the ball and jumped up vigorously, ignoring the Iguodala in front of him and pounced on the basket!
"Wow!! Andre became the most tragic backdrop in the audience!! He was killed by Ruhr. Deng rode completely underneath!! I can guarantee that it was the most violent dunk of the game!! ”
Ruhr. Deng let out a hearty roar as he landed on the canvas, this time he was expected to be at the top of this week's top 10 rankings, knowing that the physical Iguodala was not a player who would be casually ridden underneath him.
The boos in Oracle Arena swept through the Heat like a tsunami, and the fanatical Warriors fans turned red with a shot and roared viciously into the court!
"Damn the British! Get out of Auckland!! ”
"Disgusting yellow-skinned monkey! You can't get out of the stadium tonight!! ”
"Give them some color, Andre!! Knock them out!! ”
……
The ferocious dunk gave the Heat players some momentum, but it didn't help them much tactically, and the Warriors still responded on the offensive end.
The two-minute stalemate was lost as the Miamis couldn't pull off a miracle at Oracle Stadium as they lost 112-118 to the Golden State Warriors. Judging by the score alone, it was as if both sides were both slacking off on the defensive.
Stephen. Curry finished with 38 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, including 8-of-11 three-pointers, completely ignoring Addison's defense and being the biggest contributor to the Warriors' victory.
But Addison didn't let the opponent dominate this time, he also scored 28 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists, not only setting a new single-game scoring high in his rookie season, but also scoring a double-double. This makes the media who want to baash him not dare to be too presumptuous, after all, there are not many point guards in the league who can get a big double-double against the Warriors, not to mention that they are only a rookie who has just entered the league.
Dwyan. Wade scored only 5 points in the first half and 23 points in the second half, and if it weren't for his highlight play in the third quarter, I'm afraid the Heat would have been directly crushed by the opponent's five-small lineup.
"You've surprised me, Add." Curry dissipated the arrogance and aggression off the court, and teasingly hugged Addison, "It's hard to imagine what level you will be after four or five years in the league, and you will probably become a pretty scary guy......
Curry's words are sincere, and now Addison can control the team's offense and not be unilaterally suppressed in the opposite position with him just by relying on breakthroughs and mid-range jumpers. If he grows up smoothly, enriches his offensive means and accumulates enough experience...... For that kind of situation, Curry is a little unimaginable.
***
After showering early and changing into a crisp casual attire, Addison sat in the locker room and waited to board the bus with his teammates.
The atmosphere of the team is good, and although they lost the game, they are already happy to be able to fight the Warriors until the last minute with their current roster. Even the coaching staff publicly praised the whole team and allowed the players to enjoy Auckland's fabulous nightlife tonight.
"Oh God! Put your pants on for me! There's a pretty girl coming in! "Andre who just walked out of the dressing room. Dawkins let out a sudden ghost cry and howl, causing the locker room to stir up immediately.
“Oh,Sh*t! Pretty Girl...... Where's my pants?! "James. Ennis muttered and jumped to his feet, his panties still on.
A group of sturdy men with their upper or lower bodies stumbling straight to the bathroom to hide, they didn't want to be disheveled in front of beautiful women. Only Addison and Wade, a few players who had already dressed up, watched this scene with a smile, and then heard a crisp and pleasant voice coming from outside the door.
"Uncle Qi, wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to go in like this? This is the dressing room, eh......"
"Don't worry, I guess the young man shouted just now has made the locker room no more embarrassing."
Addison could tell that it was a man and a woman, and the girl was probably quite young, and both of them spoke Chinese. Wade on the side smiled and raised an eyebrow at Addison, although he couldn't understand the meaning of Chinese, he also knew that it was Chinese. Chinese speakers basically come here to find Addison.
A delicate and beautiful face poked in through the doorway, and the smiling eyes glanced around the locker room, and when he saw Addison, who was slightly stunned, his expression suddenly brightened.
"Wow, beautiful and cute Chinese girl, tsk......" The discerning Wade had already seen that this girl was definitely born for Addison, and he whispered in the ear of the Chinese rookie, "Why are you so attractive?!" ”
- Is there one? How do I not feel ...... Eddie sneered, and quickly sorted out his expression.
It was an oriental girl who came in, her face was indeed as Wade said, beautiful and cute, and there was always a childish smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. The girl wore a white hooded sweatshirt and denim shorts, and her slender legs were wrapped in cotton tights, and a pair of small boots made her whole person reveal a fresh beauty.
On top of that, the girl's long silky black hair was combed into a double ponytail, which faintly touched a strange idea in Addison's heart. When he was younger, he watched a lot of Japanese anime, and certain values were influenced by him.
Double Ponytail High ...... Double ponytail is justice......
Following the girl in was a middle-aged man with glasses, and Addison recognized at a glance that this was the magazine reporter who had interviewed him before, Qi Yuan.
"Mr. An, it's been a while." Qi Yuan greeted the Chinese rookie warmly, and also smiled at Wade, who was sitting on the side.
But the beautiful girl didn't look at the 'Flash', and didn't seem to know that the one sitting next to her was the real NBA superstar.
"Mr. An, let me introduce to you, this child is the daughter of a good friend of mine, named Lin Xiaoxiao."
Lin Xiaoxiao's face was flushed with shyness, but his smile became more and more sweet, and a pair of pure eyes narrowed into a beautiful crescent moon, waving to Addison.
Addison looked twice, but found that the girl's eyebrows seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if they were very similar to someone he had seen before, but he couldn't think of who it was for a while.
"I think you can also see that this child is Yanmo's sister, my partner." Qi Yuan observed Addison's expression and immediately explained.
The Chinese rookie remembered the female reporter who always looked cold and reserved, and although the two sisters had similar faces, they gave people a completely different feeling.
That's interesting......
Lin Xiaoxiao had already excitedly taken out her mobile phone, and the underage girl unconsciously brought out a coquettish taste when she spoke:
"Can I take a picture with you, Addison? I'm a fan of yours! ”
