Chapter 80: Turning Around

"Offense!! Offensive!!! "The Miami fans cheered on the home team with a strong shout, and they wanted to see the team fight back.

Addison, who advanced to the three-point line, surprised Paul not to attack with the ball, but hoisted the ball to Josh in the high post. McRoberts, himself, ran empty-handed towards the flank.

CP3's brows furrowed, compared to him, he still likes to defend Addison with the ball, Addison can run without the ball, and the opponent's speed and explosiveness Paul is indeed very jealous.

Coming to the flank, Addison suddenly changed direction and accelerated, and Paul tried to catch up, but was overwhelmed by Chris. Anderson blocked. The Chinese rookie sped up and ran to the basket. Hawes stared at him nervously, only to see Addison running towards the top of the pitch with another rapid change.

McRoberts gave the ball back to Addison, who ran to the free throw line, and made a cover for the boy to keep out the bloated and slow Glenn. Davis. Under the basket, Hoyce had no choice but to take two steps forward to block Addison, but he didn't wait for the rookie to break through, but waited until the basketball came through his crotch with a strong wind......

McRoberts, who was on the side, just received the ground-hitting pass and made a comfortable layup without any blockage.

"Textbook-like small-scale block and dismantle fit! Addison's pass was just the right time and force for McRoberts to even bend down to pick up the ball! "Bill. Wharton smiled when he saw this scene, and he was still more inclined to Addison in his heart, "I don't know what Hawes feels in his heart now, it's not very pleasant to be passed through the crotch by a rookie!" ”

Indeed, Hawes's face was so hot now that he could even hear loud laughter coming from the front rows of the audience. Glancing at Addison, who had retreated to the half-court defense, he had to suppress the anger.

Switching between offense and defense, Paul dribbled the ball through the half court and passed the ball to Jamal first. Crawford, the Super Sixth Man probed and passed the ball back.

CP3 broke through to the three-point line with cover, Addison used his speed and anticipation to bypass Hawes to block the opponent, and Paul took a step back with the ball to reorganize. In the end, CP3 still chose to pass, and Addison defended well in this round.

Jamal. Crawford faces Norris. Kerr made several changes in a row before suddenly pulling up and making a jumper. Kerr blocked it in time, and the basketball hit the iron and popped up, and the rebound was protected by Anderson.

Addison received the ball and wanted to launch a fast attack, but Paul alertly stepped forward and pressed it, forcing the Chinese rookie to slow down and fail to make a quick counterattack.

A closer look at the interior of the Clippers' lineup on the court, Hawes and Glenn. Davis was not a good basket protector, and Addison's eyes flashed and he had a solution.

The right hand raised his thumb to give his thumb up, a gesture that immediately caused the Heat fans in the audience to immediately applaud, and the applause and cheers became more and more wanton.

"Singles! If I'm not old enough, this is the first time Addison has faced CP3 singles in the whole court! "Hubby. Brown's eyes widened with excitement like a wolf smelling blood.

"Yes, Hubi, you are not old enough!" Drexler replied with a smile, and the situation in the field drew the attention of all three commentators.

The two managers on the sidelines also watched with interest the 1-1 rivals, who were 10 years apart, and Spoelstra gave Addison a lot of freedom in this game, and he also hoped that the young rookie could find confidence in the CP3 match through a more direct approach.

The ball bounced back and forth between his legs and in front of his body, and Addison's seemingly unfocused eyes and wandering shoulders made Paul unable to predict for a moment.

The shoe hit the floor twice, and Addison pulled the ball to his right and slammed his feet down the right.

Paul was prepared for this, and a timely slide was in the way of the boy's breakthrough. Addison held the basketball in his right hand and quickly turned in the opposite direction as he made physical contact with Paul, while slapping the racket with his right hand to his left hand.

Although the quick pull and turn was a bit unexpected for Paul, he reacted instinctively, taking a step back and moving quickly sideways.

"Bang !!" There was another muffled sound of a basketball hitting the floor, and the figure in front of Paul suddenly made a large change of direction in front of him, bounced the ball back to the right with his left hand, and the center of gravity was unimaginably pulled back to the right.

It was too late for CP3 to move, and Addison rushed inside like an arrow from his side!!

Without stopping in the middle distance, the Chinese rookie ran straight to the basket, Sesbin. Hoyce frowned and moved, he really wanted to guard off this rookie, in order to avenge the humiliation of wearing the crotch just now.

The distance between the two men was rapidly closer, and Addison took a step towards his opponent's right, which drew Hawes's attention and moved his body slightly to the right.

But Addison's center of gravity quickly twisted to the left in the next moment, his right hand clasped the basketball and drew a huge arc in front of Hawes, and his left foot stepped to the left, lightly passing the resolute Hawes.

"!!Shh The picked up basketball crashed into the net, raising the cheers of the American Airlines arena to another level.

However, the camera at the scene invariably focused on Dwyan, who was sitting on the bench. Wade, the 'Flash' is smiling and applauding his teammate's goal.

Just now, Addison used Wade's famous stunt 'Lost Step' to trick Hawes into making a layup, and the swiftness between the breakthroughs faintly felt like 'Flash', but it was less domineering and fierce in comparison, and more agile and elegant.

"The Miami fans should be excited and Addison's goal in Dwyan's way means a lot to them." Bill. Wharton's voice sounded serious, "I even think that the outcome of the game can be put aside, and this goal has satisfied the Miamins." ”

"Because they know more about Addison's strength?" Drexler asked.

"Because they see a future that belongs to Miami." Hubi. Brown replied softly.

***

With a lost step layup, Addison's individual score in this game rose to 4 points. Yes, he has only scored 4 points now, and has taken a total of 3 shots and hit two goals since the opening.

Chris. As if he hadn't seen the opposition's beautiful goal, Paul dribbled to the front court in a hurry, using the inside block to create a change of attack, breaking through McRoberts' defense and attracting the flanks.

The basketball was moving to the three-point line as CP3 moved. Crawford hit a three-pointer to help the Clippers maintain their lead.

Smooth and ethereal, round and wishful...... This was Addison's biggest impression of Paul's observations, and he was impressed by his mastery of the rhythm. Of all the point guards Addison has ever faced before, I'm afraid only Delon has ever faced him. Williams is about to be on par with CP3 in this regard.

In fact, the speed of Paul's breakthrough is not very fast, and after suffering a serious leg injury, CP3's speed is actually not as strong as it used to be. But his breakthrough is still quite unstoppable, because his mastery of rhythm allows him to break through successfully in the most uncomfortable moments for his opponent.

Physical, Technical, Mental...... Applying everything on the field to the game and mastering it to the maximum is the so-called masterful level of control.

In this regard alone, Addison is still far from Paul.

However, Addison is not discouraged, and he can use his physical advantage to bridge the gap in experience, awareness and even skill as much as possible in the matchup.

In order to help Addison strengthen his offensive role on the field, Spoelstra replaced McRoberts with Bosh to add a consistent firepower to the lineup.

Doug. Rivers re-put DeAndrew. Jordan came on the court, and he also saw that Hawes and Glenn were on the court. Davis' interior combination basket protection is too poor.

The two sides went back and forth for most of the offensive battle, and because the two main players on the field with a substitute lineup, the defense was not very solid.

At halftime, the score was 52-57, and the Heat still trailed the visitors at home, but the difference did not widen.

"Judging from the first half, the Heat played well, really good. I originally thought that the difference in strength between the two sides, especially the Heat's thin interior line, would be crushed by their opponents in the first half. Drexler shrugged, "But the Miamins' outside line was in great shape today. ”

"But the gap between the two teams is absolute, and the Heat's current record does not truly reflect the strength of their roster." Hubi. Brown made the most objective assessment, although this evaluation made Heat fans very chagrined, "The Clippers didn't let the Heat's best counter-attack play smoothly, and if this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before the Clippers win." ”

"Yes, Rivers' team is taking control of the game and they are still on the opposite end of the scale." Even Bill. Wharton, a staunch supporter of Addison, agrees with his partner at this time.

In the third quarter of the game, there was a sudden huge increase in competitive intensity, with tough physical contact, increased range of running, and increasingly sluggish defensive space all making the Heat's veterans quite uncomfortable.

The fitness problems caused by the intensive schedule began to show, and Daniel, who had been in stable form. Granger or even Ruhr. Deng Du continued to shoot in the open space and couldn't score, which made Spoelstra on the sidelines look pale.

Fortunately, Wade, who was rested in the last game, was relatively physical, and the 'Flash', who was in good shape, slaughtered all sides on the court and continuously tested the Clippers' outside defense with mid-range shots.

It was precisely because of Wade's outstanding performance that the Heat did not declare a collapse in the third quarter, but clenched the score into the final quarter.

But in the second half of the fourth quarter, Spoelstra's worst concern happened - Addison's fitness seemed to be running out......

"If I'm not mistaken, Addison's fitness should be reaching its limit." Vicious-eyed Hubi. Brown hit the nail on the head, "Just now he caused DeAndrew. The ball that Jordan fouled, his legs were trembling after he landed. ”

"The Heat have had a busy schedule since the start of the new season, and Addison's fitness will definitely be affected by it, although not as obviously as the veterans." Bill. Wharton glanced at the timer on the big screen, "He's been playing this game for more than 30 minutes, and it's normal to have fitness problems. In fact, this is also the reason why many players hit the rookie wall in their rookie season, and they must learn to find ways to save energy for themselves in the midst of a busy schedule. ”

Addison wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he could feel that his body was much heavier than before, and he almost missed the free throw just now.

With about three minutes to go before the end of the game, the Heat are now eight points behind their opponents, and it is not a margin that will make the home team desperate.

The boy took two long breaths as he waited for Paul to advance, clearing his mind a little more. He blinked and tied up his line in front of the three-point line.

"Give up, rookie, it's just a game, you don't have to fight so hard." Chris. Paul's voice drilled into his ears. To hell with this, Addison said, since it's just a regular season, why don't you give up?

It's just a difference of 8 points......

Until the last minute of the game, he would not admit defeat......
