When the electronic sound at the end of the game sounded, the quick loan center exploded into enthusiastic cheers. But if you listen carefully, you will find that the cheers reveal a deep sense of uneasiness and fear for the rest of your life after the catastrophe, and it is more accurate to say that it is not so much a cheer as a catharsis of the throbbing in your heart.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first game of the series with a narrow four-point win at home, 110-106. This result was in line with the psychological expectations of most people who followed this game, but they did not expect that even after Wade and Whiteside both left, the Heat still fought with the Cavaliers until the last minute, and almost staged a Jedi reversal at the Quick Loan Center.

There are not many games in the playoffs where both teams have scored 100 points, and even if it is now the era of small ball, the score of 110:106 is enough to show how crazy the game between the two teams is in this game. Both teams began to play offensive basketball after losing their key defensive members, giving fans a spectacular game for the fans watching the live stream.

"Miamians have fought hard enough, even in my most critical eyes, to recognize all the efforts they have put into winning the race." Barkley straightened the collar of his suit and said seriously, "You know, they trailed by as many as 15 points in the fourth quarter, but they still stubbornly bit and chased back." ”

"Let's take a look at the stats of the core players on both sides—" Kenny Smith laughed and cut off Barkley's obviously subjective remarks, "LeBron James, he is still the chosen one of the Cavaliers, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks; Kyrie Irving's 26 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal didn't play as well as he could in the second half, and the sharpness of the first-round series seemed to be worn away by Addison's defense. ”

"Isn't that a testament to Addison's ability to be as perfect as possible on both ends of the floor tonight? He had a double-double of 28 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals on the Clevelands' home court, and only had three turnovers while possessing the ball. O'Neal whistled lightly, "The last point guard I've seen who played a strong but stable role in the playoffs was Chris Paul, who didn't have a major leg injury!" ”

"I'm looking forward to what sports forums and newspapers across the country will do after tonight to report on Addison's performance." Barkley smiled maliciously, he was well aware of the bias of the North American mainstream media towards the yellow race, "Will they focus on LBJ's 30+ and Dwyanwade's injury, and deliberately downplay the impact of Addison's double-double on this game?" It's a question worth exploring......"

"Guys, let's not forget that Luhrdon is also an extremely important member of the Heat in this game. The Englishman and Addison scored the same number of points, along with 12 rebounds and two assists and one block. Combined, he and Addison scored more than half of the Heat's points and were two of the sharpest knives that threatened the Cavaliers. Kenny Smith snorted for Luhr Dun, "I'm sure if the Cavaliers don't find a way to limit the pick-and-roll offense of the forward pair, then they're only going to get hit harder and bigger in the next games." ”

When Addison and Kyrie Irving hugged and greeted each other, there was some subconscious helplessness on their faces.

"You're like Super Mario with an invincible star today," Irving patted the Chinese point guard on the back, "It's not a good feeling to be held down, kid...... Either by you, or by that guy. ”

The corners of Irving's mouth skimmed to the location of LeBron James, who was not far away from being as cordial as the Cleveland media had advertised, and their personal friendship was at best teammates playing for the same team. When it comes to insisting on something, Owen is much more paranoid than Wade was back then.

Addison just shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and in his opinion, even being suppressed by his opponent was much better than losing the match. After a brief hello to Irving, he made his way to the entrance of the visitors' tunnel, a stadium filled with Cleveland cheers that no longer belonged to him tonight.

ESPN's on-site reporters knew about Addison's aphasia, so they "played" him and focused on Spoelstra and Ruhrdeng. Addison also enjoyed the feeling of not being disturbed, and the members of the uniform team in the passage high-fived him and comforted him.

"You've done well enough, Add! Your performance has made everyone feel satisfied! ”

"Cheer up, Add! This defeat is not your responsibility! ”

- No, that's my responsibility. Since the coach told me that the Heat were my team tonight, it was my responsibility to lose. I don't mind carrying the responsibility, it's just ...... It's really uncomfortable to fail. Especially after trying my best, I still fail.

The young Chinese confided in himself that it was not about how his personal performance had played for the team, nor whether he had done his best. Losing is losing, and for a guy like him who is paranoid and victorious, he naturally won't be happy if he loses.

"Wi-Fi is really good," Whiteside, who had been in the locker room since he was ejected, smiled and shook his phone at Addison as he walked in, "I'm watching the game live here...... You've done a great job, buddy! We almost kicked them out, didn't we? ”

- yes, we almost won......

Addison didn't know what kind of emotion to repeat in his mind, and he took off his sweat-soaked jersey. Sitting in the chair in front of the locker, his expression was a little dazed due to his complicated emotions.

***

Addison still attended the post-game press conference, and the Cleveland media didn't want the Chinese to get through the press conference too easily, but Addison was not affected by the low mood. And his interpreter, Alvin Lysench, solved most of the problems for him, and Spoelstra took the initiative to take over the main part of the interview, so that the Cleveland media did not succeed in the idea of using it.

Wade's MRI results were sent back to the Heat's uniform team on the night of the game, and the 'Flash' suffered a torn quadruple muscle in his right leg, along with a torn rotator cuff muscle in his right shoulder. It will take at least a month for such an injury to heal and even longer to recover.

The result was basically a confirmation that Dwyane Wade would not be able to play for the rest of the playoff schedule, and the Heat had officially lost their absolute core and spiritual leader in the playoffs. Spoelstra couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he received the news, the team naturally couldn't seek a trade in the playoffs, and all he could do now was dig inside.

If the Heat want to go far in the increasingly difficult playoffs, they need Addison to play his hot form tonight every game, and the rest of the team to help Addison more. Whiteside's return to the court as soon as possible is also extremely important, and Heat management has begun to communicate with the league's top brass in the hope that Whiteside can avoid the penalty of suspension.

After at least the next two games back at home, Spoelstra will be hoping that the team can guarantee that all players except Wade will be able to play. Atkinsa is a good center, but he's not far behind Whiteside's defensive range, athleticism, and basket acuity. From today's game, it can be seen that after Whiteside went off the court, it was obviously easier for the Cavaliers to attack the basket, so much so that Spoelstra had to instruct the team to play against the opponent.

"Hopefully God won't put me in too much of a dilemma and things like fouls and injuries don't get the Heat again...... I don't want to recruit a few less capable players from the squad to play in the playoffs. The head coach sighed and rubbed his forehead with some headaches.

Back at the hotel, Addison played a 2K with Whiteside, beating his teammate, who had little talent in esports, by more than 20 points. Whiteside began to worry about the punishment he would be punished by the league, after all, he did make a lot of violence against Tristan Thompson on the court, which has been strictly forbidden since David Stern took office.

"I'm not going to be banned by Adam Shaw, right......" Thinking of this, Whiteside couldn't help but scratch his rough scalp with his hand, "Damn, I don't want to miss any more playoff games......"

Addison glanced at the grinning Whiteside, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. In his opinion, Whiteside is very likely to be suspended, especially in terms of Adam Shaw's habits since he came to power.

As Stern's successor, Shaw also wants to create a legendary team similar to the Bulls dynasty or the OK era like his predecessors, so the first thing he will do when he takes office is to find a team with the potential to create a dynasty. And now among all the teams in the league, the most dynastic potential is undoubtedly the Golden State Warriors, who have 67 wins this season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have a big three team. So no matter what happens, Adam Shaw will try to favor both teams as much as possible.

Tristan Thompson will definitely be banned by the league for at least one game due to a second-degree malicious foul and serious injury to the opposing leader, which is inevitable no matter how biased Adam Shaw is. And in order to pursue the same amount of penalties, Addison is very sure that Xiao Hua will definitely let a player of the Heat team also be saddled with a suspension...... The most suitable person to carry this punishment right now is undoubtedly Whiteside, who committed violent acts during the game.

- Let's take a step at a time, buddy. Addison patted his teammates on the shoulder, and he couldn't help anything like that. He's just a rookie just emerging in the league, and he's still a long, far way from being able to influence decisions at the top of the league. What's more, even top superstars like Kobe Bryant or LeBron James may not be able to shake the decision that the league president has made.

At the end of the day, the NBA is also a business league manipulated by capitalists...... Even if the players' union has a much stronger voice than it did 20 years ago......

- ELL, don't look discouraged. Tomorrow the league will announce the winners of this season's regular season MVP, do you want to bet with me who will get this honor?
