Chapter 148: I Can

“Nice pass! Really nice pass!!! "Even Ernie, who never talks much in the game. Johnson couldn't help but exclaim, "Unbelievable back-hitting pass!" Fooled almost everyone's defensive attention on the Spurs! ”

"Addison is a master at creating offensive space, yes, a master! I'm not going to change my wording! Barkley gave a very high evaluation to the Chinese point guard, which made the fans who watched the live broadcast recognize him as 'hardcore Amy', "Even if the scene doesn't seem to have space, he can always create it by passing and cutting!" In my opinion, that's the best definition of a good point guard! ”

Barkley's words made many viewers who didn't have a good opinion of Addison scoff, but TNT, who has always taken pleasure in slamming sarcasm, went unrefuted this time, including Shaq. O'Neill, everyone agreed with Sir Divine Pig's evaluation.

The game continued to play back and forth, and with four minutes left in the first quarter, Spoelstra took the lead to replace Dwyan. Wade. In order to be able to play against the Spurs' strong second team in the second quarter, he must give Wade enough rest first, and the 'Flashes' played more time in the first quarter than usual today.

But who are you going to replace? Daniel. Granger's absence really stretched the Heat's rotation a bit stretched, and Spoelstra looked at Norris. Cole, as soon as he dismissed the idea. Popovich has already put Manu. Ginobili came on the pitch, and Cole's height defense of the Argentine demon knife would suffer a little.

"Forget it, take a gamble......," the Heat head coach gritted his teeth and turned to Taylor who was sitting on the bench. Johnson said, "Taylor! Get ready to play! ”

Taylor. Johnson shuddered when he heard this, and looked over with some surprise.

- On the field?! So fast?! I'm going to get a chance to play in the first quarter?!

The young shooting guard jumped to his feet as if he were sitting on a spring, and his hand shuddered as he took off his long-sleeved jersey. His nervousness and excitement were intense, and being sent on the court so early was something he had never imagined before, and he even thought that he would not have a chance to play in such an important game against the Spurs.

What am I going to do...... What should I do...... Defend well, and then what...... And then what?!

Spoelstra saw Taylor. Johnson was extremely nervous, and he grabbed the other party's arm: "Relax, young man...... You remember to run the same tactics as you did in training when you get on the pitch and shoot when you get the chance. Be bold, Taylor, you did a great job in training, didn't you? ”

"Who's this new guy for the Heat? I've never seen it before! "Charles. Barkley looked at Taylor as he ran onto the field in confusion. Johnson, "He's got pretty good muscles, but the NBA doesn't have muscles to get out of the way." ”

"Taylor. Johnson, the undrafted rookie this season, plays as a shooting guard. He just signed a ten-day contract with the Heat. "Kenny. Smith looked at the player files that came up on the electronic screen, "His stats in the NCAA are not bad, averaging 15.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. ”

"That's the NCAA, Kenny, and the people who can play in the top leagues are the number one on every college team, which doesn't mean much." O'Neill shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "Anthony. Bennett was the leading scorer at UNLV when he was in college, so what about now? ”

“…… Well, you're right, Shaq. "Kenny. Smith didn't argue with O'Neal, "Let's see how the undrafted rookie plays." ”

Addison dribbled the ball to the Spurs' half and motioned to Taylor as he dribbled. Johnson to the right bottom corner. Johnson, who had just come on the pitch, seemed so at a loss that he forgot how to run.

At this time, the opponent in front of the Chinese rookie has been replaced by Patty. Mills, the diminutive Australian point guard Addison, didn't care much. While he knows he's an important member of the Spurs' bench, let's be honest, this type of point guard is what he's best at dealing with.

Didn't choose singles, substitute Chris. Anderson brought up to give Addison a tight cover and put Patti Brown. Mills held it firmly. Addison dribbled quickly from the right side to the three-point line. Ginobili came over to make up for the ball and dipped the ball into the bottom right corner.

It was supposed to be a good opportunity, but Taylor. Johnson watched the basketball fly towards him, and reacted a beat slower. The basketball hits him straight into his hand and then pops off the baseline.

"OMG! Is this guy an idiot?! Barkley slapped the live broadcast booth with both hands, and sprayed directly in annoyance, "He can't even receive such a pass?!" I'm skeptical about how he got to the NCAA right now?! ”

"Now you can see what I mean, Kenny?" O'Neal also said with any subtle sarcasm, "No wonder this guy is an undrafted rookie......"

The AT&T stadium erupted in laughter, with San Antonio fans throwing ridicule and sarcasm at the cramped young man with impunity. Even Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help but smile, he didn't understand how Spoelstra could send such a player with such poor psychological quality on the field.

Spoelstra pursed his lips, he didn't expect Taylor. Johnson's form is so poor that he is almost like two people in training. However, the head coach of the Heat has always been willing to give his players a chance, and he intends to observe two more rounds.

Taylor. Johnson was now depressed, his mind constantly recalling his failed move, and the walking dead moving his feet running back. Just then, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and Johnson looked sideways and saw that it was Addison.

The Chinese point guard smiled gently at his teammate, then patted the opponent on the back and motioned for him to hurry up and settle down. Addison couldn't comfort his teammates with words, but he hoped to use it to tell Johnson not to care about the mistake he had just made.

"Cheer up, boy! You can do better! "Dwyanne on the bench. Wade stood up abruptly and clapped his hands as he turned to Taylor. Johnson shouted, "I know you're okay!" ”

Taylor. Johnson looked at Addison, and then at Wade, who was cheering him on the sidelines, and he suddenly felt that the pressure in his heart that was about to be out of breath was much lighter. For a moment, Johnson even felt the urge to cry, and he was extremely glad that he was on a team that could tolerate mistakes.

- Cheer up! I can do it! OK!

The Spurs' offense was led by Boris Brown, who came off the bench. Led by Dio, the sleek French lineman was also well-versed in playmaking, and he immediately turned the basketball into Ginobili's hands. Through the observation just now, he found that the rookie against the Argentine seemed to be in extremely bad shape, which was the point that could open up the situation.

Ginobili lowered his center of gravity to dribble, and the 37-year-old Argentine veteran can still make a lot of contributions to the team despite his physical deterioration. With the ball in his left hand, he flicked out, his waist swaying flexibly, making a sign of breaking to the left.

Taylor. Johnson was tricked into moving by the realistic sway of the old demon knife, and Ginobili took advantage of the opportunity to pull back his center of gravity and shoot a three-pointer in the bottom right corner!

Taylor. Johnson gritted his teeth and threw himself back, stretching his arm as hard as he could. His excellent reach worked, and Ginobili's vision was somewhat disturbed, and the basket thrown bounced off the basket.

Chris. Bosh pressed Dio to get the defensive rebound and immediately handed it to Addison. The Heat launched a counterattack as a team, and Addison delicately pulled the ball and turned past Patty, who wanted to press in the frontcourt. Mills, speeding towards the Spurs' half.

The Spurs' defense was not slow to defend, and Ginobili, who had withdrawn to his own half, pounced on Addison, who had already crossed the three-point line, without thinking, to create an offensive foul for the opponent. But Addison was also well aware of the Argentine's thoughts, and he took a step to the right side of his body with the ball in his right hand, and then suddenly the ball passed the ball from behind with his left hand.

Taylor who just rushed over. Johnson received a pass on the left side of the three-point line, and his rhythm was light, and then he jumped with a determined expression.

- I can! No problem!

“Three points!!! Got it!!! From the unsuccessful rookie Taylor. Johnson!!! "Kenny. Smith shouted loudly, much more excited than usual.
