“Come on！！！ We won, brown-haired !! Whiteside grabbed Addison's neck, looking extremely excited, his face full of excitement and smiles, "It's the playoffs, Eddie, and we won!! ”

The American Airlines arena was filled with applause and cheers from Miami fans, but Whiteside was the only one in the stadium who seemed to be in high spirits. Like Wade, Ruhr. Deng's players have been through no less than 10 playoff trips, and unless it's the Finals, one win won't be enough to thrill them. But Whiteside is different, this is his first time on the playoff stage, and he has gained a lot in this game, so naturally the excitement cannot be shared with the others.

Addison patted the other man's arm and motioned for Whiteside to be a little more calm, and then he walked over to John, who was standing in the arena and didn't know what he was thinking. Wall shakes hands. In this game, the Wizards' point guard scoring efficiency was not good, shooting 9 of 22 from the field, but he played a double-double of 19 points, 12 assists, 5 rebounds and 1 steal; In comparison, Addison's 17 points, 9 assists, 3 rebounds and 3 steals are a little bleak, but he gave Wall a more effective defensive limit throughout the game, which is rare for a rookie.

The top scorer of the game was Dwyan. Wade, the 'Flash', scored 29 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, especially when he gave Bradley a brilliant form in the fourth quarter. Beal was deeply impressed that the Wizards' shooting guard was talking about it until the postgame interview.

"See you at Game 2, Year 1." Wall only said a few words as he hugged Addison, then patted the other man on the shoulder and walked to the tunnel of the visiting players. Losing at the opponent's home stadium, the atmosphere here made John. Wall wasn't going to stay longer for a second.

"Cut, ungraceful guy, what kind of noble and glamorous are you playing if you lose......" Whiteside behind him complained dissatisfied, but Addison didn't think about it, and led the young center to the bench and high-fived his teammates one by one. It's impossible to say that the Chinese point guard isn't excited, after all, it was also the first playoff game of his career, and the first playoff win. He just wasn't used to exposing his inner emotions thoroughly, but in fact, the smile on his face that had not been hidden already represented a lot.

"Come here, Add!" Wade was being interviewed by an ESPN reporter, and Addison wanted to avoid him and slip over, but was pulled by the quick-eyed Heat spirit, "They are asking me what I think of the next game after winning the first game?" What do you think, boy? ”

- Damn, this guy actually dug a pit for me to jump...... Addison couldn't help but give the middle finger to his boss in his heart, and Wade felt that he couldn't carry it alone, so he pulled the Chinese point guard in. Anyway, no matter how you answer it, the media will exaggerate the facts, and for them, all news must be closer to the direction that can provoke both teams and anger.

Addison shrugged his shoulders at the camera, then tapped his right hand twice on his chest and pointed his arm straight for the camera. After all this, the young man walked into the players' tunnel without looking back, for fear that Wade would trick him with other problems.

"Uh...... What does he mean by that?? The ESPN reporter looked at Addison's back in confusion and turned to ask Wade, who was smiling. Although Addison's actions looked confident, they were not explained in detail, and the reporter did not dare to make too distorted explanations at will.

That's what he meant...... He's confident. Wade thought for a moment and gave what he considered to be the smoothest and toughest answer, "Everyone on the Heat team is like that, and we never think we're going to lose until the series is over. ”

……

Addison was very happy, he went back to the locker room and took out his phone, and found that he had received congratulatory text messages from many people, Joe, El, Chris. Bosh, Jabari. Parker, Jersey. Granger, Taylor. Hill, Jessica...... There are also congratulations sent by Lin Xiaoxiao and Li Jingyi through Penguin Software......

These people were all watching his game and congratulated him as soon as it was over. Growing up, Addison rarely felt that he had a lot of friends, but at this moment, he looked at his teammates in the locker room with high emotions, and saw the text messages sent one after another on his phone, and he seemed to feel this kind of excitement for the first time in his life.

"Good job, Add, good job." Spoelstra walked into the locker room and smiled at the Chinese point guard sitting in the corner.

A calm, soft-voiced but somewhat hoarse response of "Thanks......" sounded indifferent in the slightly noisy locker room. But after two or three seconds, almost everyone in the room fell silent, staring at the thin figure in the corner.

The corners of Spoelstra's mouth twitched unnaturally, and he looked at Addison, whose expression was also becoming more and more shocked: "Although I am a little embarrassed to ask this, but ...... Add, you just... Did you speak? ”

***

"Actually, it's quite normal, Eric, Addison, that's an instantaneous reaction to stress in a situation of high emotions." Lionel. Buxon said with a smile on the phone, "His aphasia itself is developed after being strongly stimulated, so during the peak period of emotion, maybe there will be relief." I venture to ask, did he say the 'Thanks' again and then couldn't say anything? ”

"yes, no matter how much you open your mouth after that, you can't say a full note." Spoelstra scratched at his sideburns in annoyance, "To tell you the truth, Addison looks even more surprised than we are...... In fact, he was the one who surprised him the most. ”

"It's understandable, after all, this is the first opportunity he can capture, and I don't know when the next one will be......" Buxon sighed, "It's just a stress reaction, but at least it proves that the previous treatment is effective." We still have a long way to go, Eric. ”

Spoelstra hung up the call with a wry smile, originally expecting a double happiness today, it seems that the world is not so generous and gentle to him. He let out a long exhale, calming his wandering apprehension. Anyway, he should still be happy to win the game, this victory was much easier than he expected.

If Wade's outburst was a relief to the manager, Whiteside's realisation was a surprise to Spoelstra. Originally, the uniforms were ready to pay for one or two defeats to make Whiteside think clearly, and even if the Heat ended their playoff journey in a hurry because of the problem, Spoelstra wouldn't blame Whiteside too much. It can take a lot of time to get an inexperienced youngster to understand the responsibilities of a center, and Whiteside's potential and talent are worth the time the Heat have to pay for him.

……

- You know what, Joe? If it weren't for Dwyan, we would probably have lost this game today.

Lying in bed, Addison's mind kept recalling the images of his first playoff game, as if he had turned on a replay of the game footage in his head. He remembered almost every detail of the game very well, and just as an academic genius knew the written data, Addison basically remembered the details of the game.

He could talk to anyone, anyone who knew basketball, but after some hesitation, he chose to send Joe a message. Addison didn't know what kind of response he would get, because Joe really didn't really like basketball, he preferred gentlemanly sports like golf or tennis.

- Add, even in our financial lawyer circles, we never say things like, 'Success is due to someone's efforts.'" Success is always the harvest of a team, and the explosion of one person will only increase your chances of success, and victory is always the effort of everyone in a team.

- You really talk like our head coach sometimes, Daddy...... It wasn't a good game, probably because of the playoff atmosphere, and I felt like I was a lot more restrained than I was in the regular season.

- Lay aside your worries, Add. I watched your live game today, Bill. Wharton's two old fellows still praise you...... In fact, they're focusing most of their firepower on the big guy on your team. I've also seen a lot of people on Twitter saying that your center's performance today was disastrous.

- Hassan just needs a pair of eyes to see wider...... As for Bill, he always took good care of me during the commentary, and I need to thank him in person for that......

The two chatted for a few more minutes, and just as Addison was about to end the exchange, he thought about it and sent another message.

- Joe, I said a word today, literally with my mouth. When my manager complimented me on a good performance, I said 'thanks'.

There was no response for a long time, and Addison was a little skeptical that his father was asleep. He had just put his phone back on the bedside table when he saw a prompt for a new message.

- The first feeling God teaches people is to be grateful, Eddie, your aphasia will be cured...... For our Lord is watching over you.

Addison smiled, mildly and pleasantly. He didn't reply, but lay back in bed, asleep in the quiet of the night after the restlessness of Miami.

……

Unbeknownst to the young Chinese, the president of the Alliance, Adam Brown, was on this night. Xiao Hua was busy with his affairs. Perhaps amazed by Addison's solid play in Game 1 of the playoffs, Adam. On the same night, Xiao Hua received the head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team, Mike Brown. Shashefski, senior official Li Mu of the Chinese Basketball Association, and Wayne Brown, president of the Canadian Basketball Association. Parrish's call.
