"I am honored to announce that Addison. Mr. An has signed a contract with the NIKE brand and will become an important member of the NIKE family for the next four years. In the face of the influx of media inquiries, Tom. "Addison's style of play is very much in line with NIKE's evaluation and expectations for modern basketball, and we have his exclusive collection of sneakers on the agenda, and I think Addison's fans' cravings will soon be satisfied." ”

"We've heard that NIKE made a pretty cheap offer at the beginning of the season and it was rejected by Addison's team, is that true?" The reporter's sharp questions immediately rushed to Pedil, and he did not make the slightest subtle euphemism because of the position of the person in front of him.

Pedil's face stiffened slightly, but then he smiled brighter and more politely: "Everyone has to get to know each other, don't they?" Now that NIKE and Addison have gotten to know each other well, I think we can make great history together. ”

……

"Merry Christmas, Addison!" Wade, who had changed into his training clothes, walked into the court and greeted Addison, who was silently doing shooting practice alone, "You're here early as always!" ”

- Merry Christmas, Boss. Addison gasped with his hands on his hips, then gestured to Wadebi with a gesture of blessing. Although Christmas has arrived, there is no trace of cold on this side of Miami, and the climate is still warm like spring.

"That's not going to work, Add, you'll have to keep a high profile." The Heat grinned and walked over, picked up a basketball from the floor and passed it to the Chinese rookie, "You're a brand endorsement player now." ”

Addison pursed the corners of his lips, ignoring Wade's teasing, he didn't think he would be any different after signing the NIKE brand. He's still a rookie, that's all.

"How's it going, boy? Have you ever thought about making your business value bigger? Like that Black Mamba's world-famous logo? Or rather...... Build a billion-dollar business empire of your own like LeBron? Wade suggested in a joking tone that in his opinion, Addison's mind would definitely be able to accomplish something if he was willing to work on it.

Addison just shook his head calmly, he knew that he was not a talent in that area, and he didn't want to think about business value or anything. He entered the NBA just because he loved basketball, and playing basketball well was enough for him.

Wade shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and the response was not what he expected.

"Why don't we suggest to our boss that the job of a narrator be abolished? Every Christmas I sit in a different stadium to explain the game while everyone else is at home watching TV and having a big meal?! "Charles. Barkley wrinkled his face and looked depressedly at the scene where the American Airlines arena had begun to be bustling with people.

"My dear Sir Pig, don't you know that you are so sexy because you have eaten too much at a big meal?" Kenny. Smith didn't hesitate to start his own job, scolding his old partner.

Smith's words hit two people, and Shaq, who was sitting next to him. O'Neal's face also darkened, he and Barkley were the poster child in the league when they were players.

"For God's sake, Kenny, can't you fail to mention this?!"

"Okay, Charles, let's focus on the pitch. Wade was chatting with LBJ about something, and the two of them still seemed to be on good terms. "Kenny. Smith looked at the two Jenaways who were chatting happily on the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let me tell you, Kenny, there's basically no such thing as a break in a friendship forged in a business alliance." Barkley shook his head and said, "Because this friendship is based on you seeing each other as teammates, not as dead friends." LBJ and Wade have the same relationship as Michael and Pippen at the beginning, you can say that they have a tacit understanding on the court, and you can also see them complimenting each other off the court...... But do you think Michael will treat Pippen like a brother? Do you think he'll tell Pippen all the troubles in his heart?

"It's the same with James and Wade, their relationship is at best a personal teammate with a lot of personal friends. Since they all know the rules and connotations of the business alliance, it would be naïve to turn against someone because they left......

"Kenny was right, Charles, you're really fit to be a philosopher or something." Sark. O'Neill let out a low chuckle, "But you're right, all you need in a business league is teammates. Just like when Kobe Bryant and I won the last championship together, no matter how much we didn't like each other at that time, as long as we were on the court, we were still the most dominant combination in the league. ”

Addison wasn't involved in James' small talk with Wade, who was standing in his own half and supervising Whiteside's practice of shooting high shots. Whiteside threw ball by ball in front of the free-throw line with a bitter face, and to be honest, he really didn't believe in his projection in the game, so he kept avoiding high shots. But I don't know what Addison talked to Spoelstella a few days ago, and the coaching staff began to strengthen the training of high-pitching for young centers.

But Whiteside didn't dare to disobey this calm and delicate-looking Chinese rookie, Sam. Bernie's words and deeds have had a big impact on him, and even for Wade and Spoelstra on the Heat, Whiteside only shows superficial respect. The only person he really obeyed completely was Addison.

"Follow LBJ! Do you understand? Keep up with him and limit his chances with the ball as much as possible! After returning to the locker room, Spoelstra reiterated the team's tactics, "This Cavaliers team still has a big problem with the rotation of the ball, and there is not enough chemistry between their star players, this is an opportunity that we can take advantage of!"

"Chris, today you're in charge of defending the opponent's pick-and-roll and Lefou's projection when he mentions the perimeter, and letting go of Sean appropriately. Marion, that guy doesn't have much offensive power left. The head coach gave Bosh the task of defending the pick-and-roll, and Bosh nodded, which for him is not the same as fighting Kevin on the inside. Lefu is much more relaxed.

"Hassan, if Kevin. If Lefu goes to the low post to attack, that's your job. Also, you'll have to do a good job of recovering the basket for your outside teammates, whether it's Kyrie. Owen or LeBron. James is hard to be targeted by a single person. "Whiteside's eyes lit up with excitement when he was given an important task, this guy definitely belongs to the big scene type of player, and the heavier the burden on his shoulders, the more enthusiastic he becomes.

"As for Eddie...... Spoelstra gave a few starters a ride, and finally turned to Addison, who was sitting next to Wade, "Kyrie. I'll leave it to you, Owen, take good care of him. ”

The locker room was getting a little quiet, and everyone was watching the yellow-skinned rookie. These people understood what Spoelstra meant by what he said to Addison - that the Chinese point guard was to be in charge of dealing with Kyrie on both ends of the floor. Irving, against this All-Star point guard who is known for his singles prowess in the league.

Addison gave Spoelstra a calm smile and accepted the task given to him by the head coach without hesitation. He himself knows very well that with the strength of the team's current squad, he will concentrate the strength of the whole team to deal with LeBron. James and Kevin. Lefou's is already very difficult.

Carey. Owen, he had to deal with it alone, and he could only deal with it alone.

"The race is about to start! I saw Taylor again on the sidelines. Hill, I'll just say, how could Addison's supermodel fan be absent from an event of the level of Christmas War? "Kenny. Smith followed the camera to look closely at the audience, "Who's next to her?" She also looks very sexy and cute! ”

"That's Carly. Klaus and Gigi. Haddie, both of these supermodels should be Taylor. Hill's friend. "Charles. Barkley fluently answered the names of the two tall supermodels in the camera. Both Smith and O'Neal were surprised, "Guys, you should know more about the people in the fashion industry so that you can show that you are at the forefront of fashion trends!" ”

"I doubt Charles would dare to say this in front of his wife......" O'Neal grumbled sullenly, anyway, the three of them knew that they were all horns, and they had all been to the Gold Club in Atlanta.

In the middle of the field, players from both sides began to take positions near the halfway line. Irving and Addison hugged each other, and the friendship between the two young point guards was pretty good.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers - center Kevin Brown. Love, power forward Sean. Marion, small forward LeBron. James, shooting guard Mike. Miller, point guard Kyrie. irving

The starting lineup of the Heat - center Hassan. Whiteside, power forward Chris. Bosh, small forward Ruhr. Deng, shooting guard Dwyane. Wade, point guard Addison. quiet

The referee walked to the middle of the court with the basketball, and habitually said a few words to the players on both sides that they were almost tired of listening to, and then blew the whistle in his mouth sharply, and threw the basketball in his hand high into the air!

Whiteside is better than Kevin. Lefou's much stronger jump height and speed preemptively hit the basketball, and with a little bit of force back, Addison caught the ball with a flick of his arm.

The clamor at the American Airlines arena is high-pitched and passionate, and for a variety of reasons, the Cleveland Cavaliers seem to be the most inspiring Miami fans.

Carey. Irving waited for the opponent to dribble in front of the three-point line, and although his defensive ability and attitude are not very good on weekdays, Irving also showed enough attention on occasions like the Christmas game.

Addison raised his right hand and motioned for Whiteside to come out as cover, he wanted to see what the Cavaliers' defensive pick-and-roll strategy was, and if Love was asked to come up to defend the pick-and-roll.

The tall figure of the Heat center blocked Irving tightly, and Addison deliberately did not choose the side where James was, but accelerated to Mike. Miller is on the right side of the three-point line. With Miller's aging athleticism, he can't be called to help defend, and then only the interior can defend it.

Sure enough, Kevin. Love moved from under the basket to near the free throw line to get ready to block, but his pace was really slow compared to Addison, and the Chinese point guard accelerated directly in front of the free throw line to dribble horizontally and move towards the left corner.

Lefu moved his feet to follow, but saw Addison stumble on the dribble, and then threw the ball high into the basket with his left hand, just over Lefou's head......

Kerry in the high position. Owen couldn't stop Whiteside and was strode into the box. After stepping into the paint area, the strong center uses inertia to drive himself up from the ground, catch the thrown basketball, and whizz to the basket!

"Boom !!"

The sound of explosions resounded throughout the stadium!
