Chapter 46: It's Not Science
"Gentlemen, you make me so proud, I'm going crazy with pride! Now everyone in the nation who watched the game knows that we were being played for more than five minutes by a rookie who had just played his first regular season game! We're all ready to make the headlines of USA Today! "Randy. Whitman didn't get angry, but every word he said made the Wizards feel strongly dissatisfied, "That's not our style, guys, I don't remember allowing you to play like that!" ”
The head coach turned his attention to John. Wall: "I think you know that your performance just now wasn't what I expected. ”
Wall was tempted to say "that rookie is not easy" to defend himself, but after encountering the coach's calm and quiet gaze, he chose to swallow all the arguments.
"I promise there won't be a second time, sir."
Whitman looked at Wall's tightly pursed lips seriously, but nodded quietly: "Very good, I hope to see my No. 1 position play in line with his All-Star level next." ”
"You'll see, sir."
……
"I guess John. Mr. Wall wasn't going to have a good time these sixty seconds, and even here I could feel the Whitman's annoyance. On the Heat's side, Spoelstra's teasing made the crowd of bad billets around him laugh, "But what's going to happen next is what we need to worry about. Wall is tough to play with, and in my opinion he's the 'best' point guard in the league...... Add, cheer up 120%, you know? ”
The Chinese boy nodded expressionlessly as he watched Spoelstra draw the line with him as he centered on the tactical board: "Our tactics remain the same, speed up the counterattack, and try to drag down the opponent's two slow interior lines." Deng, put more pressure on Pierce on the defensive end, and that old guy will be limited by his physical fitness no matter how good he feels. If they beat Wall later...... Let go of Drew when necessary. Gooden, Bag Jacket Wall!! ”
At the end of the timeout, both sides returned to the field without any personnel changes.
Wall, who dribbled the ball step by step through the half, looked quite calm, and his eyes didn't even have the fierceness of the previous attack, but this made Addison's heart rise a little awe-inspiring.
Wall made a pass with Pierce, first giving the ball to 'Truth' on the right, then picking up speed and running around the baseline on the right, where Pierce transitioned and passed the ball again.
The moment Wall received the basketball, his eyes lit up, and he slapped the ball with his left hand and took a step towards the left. Addison, who had just chased after him and had not yet stood in a good position, subconsciously moved sideways, but saw Wall's left hand take advantage of the situation to bring the basketball back slightly, and the ball bounced directly from his crotch to his right hand, and the whole person changed direction and rushed towards the emptiness on Addison's left side.
The boy only felt a strong wind flashing from his side, and even with his same lightning-level explosive power, he couldn't stop it, so he could only turn around and chase after him.
John. Wall went straight to the penalty area along the baseline, took two big steps to the basket, and jumped up without fear in the face of Bosh's defense. His strong body kept him in a confrontational posture in the air, and he made a small lever with both hands to gently push the basketball out.
"Tom!! Swish!! "Drop!!"
The sound of the basketball crashing into the basket after smashing the rebound sounded almost at the same time as the referee's whistle. Bosh received his first foul of the game with some reluctance......
"'The Fastest in the Alliance' has finally come up with some real killer features," said Kenny. Seeing this scene, Smith said with a smile, "It seems that being once dominated by a rookie just now seriously offended Wall's dignity as a superstar." ”
Addison himself was also reminiscing about the situation when Wall broke through himself just now, in fact, the other party's change of direction was not very gorgeous and exquisite, but with his super starting speed and Addison's preparation, he was able to complete the breakthrough in an instant.
The fastest alliance really lives up to its name...... When it comes to speed, Addison was a stark man in the NCAA, but he didn't expect to face John. Wall felt a little struggling......
Wade came over and patted the boy on the shoulder, signaling him not to care: "He can't play like that all the time, then he will lose." ”
Addison understood what Wade meant, like Wall, who controlled the core of the team's offense, even if he tried his best to score 30 or 40 points in singles, and his teammates were collectively dumb, the Wizards would still lose. But if Wall scores 20 points and assists more than 10 assists on his teammates, the Heat are in danger.
***
As he spoke, Wall added a free throw to narrow the margin to four points.
The Heat attacked, and Addison didn't find a good opportunity after covering it, so he had to re-pass the ball to Wade. The basketball went through several transmissions and finally came to Ruhr outside the three-point line. In Deng's hand, the Englishman bounced off a three-pointer under Pierce's defense, and the rebound was protected by Gortat.
Wall, who took the ball and wanted to launch a fast break, suddenly found that Addison was in front of him for the first time, and Pierce, another point of the Wizards who could attack with the ball, was also attacked by Luer. Deng was entangled, Wall was forced to slow down, and the Wizards' counterattack was blocked.
The Chinese boy's reaction and defensive awareness made Whitman on the sidelines raise eyebrows, especially when he blocked the fast break, Whitman has never seen a rookie with such a good blocking awareness......
Addison almost tangle with Wall from the backcourt to the three-point line, which put some pressure on the Wizards point guard, who gestured and handed the ball to the wing, and then Pierce hoisted the basketball into Gortat's inside and let him single Bosh.
Bosh's individual defensive ability is limited by weight and strength, and although Gortat is not a particularly strong center, he is superior in height and weight to his opponents, and he has Bosh two steps back with his back. At this time Sean on the other side. Williams moved over and prepared to wrap around the 'Polish Hammers'. Gortat passes the ball to Drew before his vision is blocked. Gooden, who was in the vacant position, hesitated, and the poor form of the past two seasons made him a little afraid to shoot.
"Bang dang!" With a muffled sound, Gooden's hasty shot after hesitation hit the iron, and Bosh jumped up before Gortat to collect the defensive rebound.
"It's really TM God ......" Gortat couldn't help but curse secretly, he knew that this guy was in a bad state, and it was better to come by himself just now! It's good now, the offensive rebounds are not rushed, and the Heat also played the counterattack he hates the most.
The world knows that Miami is the best at counter-attacking, and people who have spent a season or two with the Heat basically have the awareness to quickly pass the ball back after winning a rebound, and Bosh knows this well. After the 'Dragon King' won the rebound, he glanced at the half-court and immediately threw the ball at Wade, who was fast away from Temple, and on the other side, Addison and Wall also started almost at the same time, and the three of them rushed to the Wizards' half court in the shape of left, center, and right arrows.
Seeing that all three of them have entered the three-point line, Wall has basically given up, and it is difficult to defend the frontcourt two-game by himself, and the chase is just a show. Wade shook the ball in both hands and suddenly threw the basketball near the basket with his left hand.
It was neither like a jump shot nor a toss that made Wall stunned for a moment, while Addison, on the other side, sprinted two steps in the direction of cutting to the basket and jumped up with all his might!!
"Oh God! He flew the kid!! The live announcer in Miami couldn't help but shout, and he couldn't believe his eyes at the scene in front of him.
Addison, who was only 185 centimeters tall, directly turned into a falcon and jumped high, light and explosive, his right hand stretched out to catch the basketball thrown by Wade into the air, and even had the strength to let his body fill the bowstring, and then-
"Boom !!"
The explosion of the ball being swept into the hoop was reverberated through the microphone to every corner of the court, and the cheers of the American Airlines arena reached the top again!!
“E…… disonforalley-oop!!! Whatadunk!!! ”
***
Lin Yanmo opened her mouth the moment Eddie jumped up, and she often watched the competition, and she immediately knew what this 185-centimeter boy wanted to do.
As if time had slowed down, the higher the figure jumped, the more round Lin Yanmo's eyes became. The slender and vigorous figure even looked a little dazzling under the reflection of the stadium lights, but the girl's pupils did not dodge at all, but reddened slightly. Her white and small palms unconsciously covered her mouth, and she didn't know whether it was because she was surprised or touched by something.
The enthusiastic cries that surrounded her finally poured into her ears, crushing all her wonder and shock. Lin Yanmo covered her mouth like that, her eyes widened, staring at the boy who put the ball into the basket.
"Jump...... What a high ......."
Is this really Asian?! This kind of height and speed that would scream even in the NBA...... Is it really what a yellow man has?!
Addison ranked third in the 2014 Rookie Camp and was second only to Andrew in terms of physical fitness. Wiggins and Zach. Laven, and it's not much different......" Uncle Qi, who had been observing the girl's expression, suddenly said something at this time, causing the young and arrogant partner to fall silent again.
***
"It's not scientific, gentlemen, it's not scientific...... Barkley shook his head as if he had given up resistance, "It's not scientific for a yellow person to have such a terrifying physical fitness......"
Kenny. Smith still smiled calmly: "Speaking of which, Addison is the third-ranked runner and jumper in this rookie class, and he should be the most terrifying running and jumping ability among the yellow basketball players I have ever seen." ”
"It's so abnormal, it's so abnormal." Barkley muttered in disbelief and patted his head with his hand, "This kid's bouncing reminds me of a man." ”
"Who??"
"Myself."
"......" Kenny. Smith was speechless, and the 'Magician' Johnson on the side laughed, apparently he was not completely immune to the narcissism of Sir Pig like Smith.
"Well, just kidding, I hope you all think so. Addison's physical fitness is great, which I knew back in the rookie camp, and he ranked third in the rookie class in terms of overall physical fitness. Barkley repeated Smith's words, "This kind of body should make him a good fit for the Heat's play, yes, I'm talking about the counterattack." ”
"The root of a counterattack is to be able to catch the opponent's mistakes, or let the opponent make mistakes." Johnson followed up on Barkley's words and said, "And it was Drew who made the mistake just now. Gooden, to be honest, he's in a state like an old guy who hasn't played basketball for ten years after retiring, and if I were Whitman, I would definitely not let such a black hole stay on the court again. ”
