"You rookie looks concerned, Dwyan." Howard grinned and gestured to Wade, "He cares more about winning or losing than you do." ”

Wade looked back and saw that Addison hadn't spoken to anyone or walked back to the locker room, just standing quietly on the sidelines, staring at the big screen above the court.

The unwillingness and stubbornness in a pair of narrow eyes were about to overflow, and the sharpness was so sharp that people didn't dare to look at it.

"He's not bad, very good." Wade smiled and slapped Howard on the arm casually, "So you have to be careful, next time we rookies will definitely get revenge." ”

"He's already used me as a background board, how can he retaliate against ......??" The 'Monster' shook its head and muttered wordlessly.

The two of them parted after a few words, and Wade walked over to Addison and put his hand on the boy's shoulder: "Okay, boy, you'll taste this taste many times in the future, so don't stop here." ”

Addison's expression relaxed, and he shrugged his shoulders at Wade and smiled slightly.

"That's right, rookie, smile more." Wade took Addison's shoulders and walked towards the tunnel of the players, "I've lost hundreds of games now, but I still wish I could smile more." But...... Do you know what the benefits of losing are? ”

Addison glanced at the team boss and shook his head in confusion.

"It will make you more hungry to win the next game."

28 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 assists. Howard slammed into the Heat's restricted area in this game, grabbing a string of luxurious statistics. In the case of a strong performance on the inside, James. Although Harden only had a force in the second half, he also cut down 25 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.

Although Addison had a few bright spots in his individual offense in this game, he was generally hindered by Beverley, scoring only 9 points on 3-of-8 shooting. Although the team's offense was well managed with 12 assists, the performance was still quite different from the previous games.

Chris. Although Bosh was very uncomfortable on the defensive end, with his blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation with Addison, his stats looked good - 22 points, 8 rebounds, 1 block and 3 assists, and he didn't lose too badly in terms of statistics alone.

The Heat, who suffered their first loss, did not have time to rest or reflect, so they immediately took a bus to the airport after the game, and then took an American Airlines passenger plane to Charlotte, a small city in the eastern United States.

The Charlotte Hornets, formerly known as the Charlotte Bobcats, a team in the East that has been in the East for many years, has finally gradually improved in the past two years.

Although said to Michael. Jordan's team decision-makers have been brain-dead in the draft and player trades, but they drafted Kemba in 2011. Walker and grooming him as an outside core was definitely the right choice. Walker has grown steadily over the past three seasons, though not as much as Kyrie. Irving is so strong, but he has also become a qualified outside core.

Today's Charlotte Hornets have Al Bush on the inside. Jefferson is a low-post killer with Kemba on the outside. Walker, a point guard who shoots through the game well, has begun to attract the attention of many teams' uniforms.

The Heat, who had just played a fierce battle with the Houstonians, couldn't keep their spirits up at all after arriving in Charlotte, and even after a night's rest, almost everyone except Addison looked tired and tired.

Seeing this, Spoelstra simply canceled the morning acclimatization training and let the players continue to rest. He discussed it with the coaching staff and planned to strategically abandon the back-to-back away games.

So, at Time Warner Stadium in Charlotte that night, the Miami Heat, who had no intention of resisting at all, surrendered at the beginning of the fourth quarter and finally lost 86-95.

Dwyan. Wade was rested for the game and didn't play a minute. The rest of the starters played the most minutes for Bosh and Addison, who only played about 27 minutes.

After Bosh was ravaged by Howard, this game was defeated by Al Al on the defensive end. Jefferson blows up. Jefferson may be on the short side of the center, but he has a strong body and some of the best interior offensive skills in the league today. So it was a matter of course that the skinny Bosh was blown up, and the team's coaching staff didn't criticize him for anything.

Addison's performance in this game was not very good, and his passing ability could not be fully displayed due to the lack of active movement of his teammates throughout the game. In 27 minutes, he scored 12 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, hitting 5 of 7 shots, and his personal offensive efficiency was not bad.

Defensively, however, the Chinese boys will think highly of Kemba. Walker was choked enough. Walker, who has always been confident in his own speed, is closely followed by Addison all over the court, and it is difficult to shake off the boy's shadow defense unless he uses cover. The Hornets' perimeter core played 31 minutes, shooting just 6-of-16 from Addison's defense, and their efficiency dropped dramatically.

After suffering two straight defeats, the Heat returned to Miami exhausted, but thankfully they had two days to rest and adjust, which also made the members of the uniform team breathe a sigh of relief.

***

The two-game losing streak is a good thing for basketball pundits and the media who have always been bullish on the Heat, and they have jumped out to say that these two defeats are a true portrayal of the overall strength of the Heat. At the same time, the outside world's doubts about whether Wade still has top-level strength, Addison's true ability, etc., are also in an uproar almost instantaneously.

Quite a few people have come up with Jabari, who has been playing more and more consistently lately. Parker's performance is contrasted, and he thinks that Addison's highlights in the first few games were just a flash in the pan. As opponents become more familiar with his style, and after opponents defend him with a targeted defence, the yellow-skinned rookie will be unrecognizable.

Even as the first public figure in the fashion industry to announce his support for Addison, Taylor. Hill's Twitter has also been maliciously attacked by many people in the past two days, who ridiculed Hill for choosing to be a useless yellow rookie fan. However, the straightforward supermodel girl was not afraid of these malicious ridicules at all, and directly started a war of words with the ridiculers on Twitter, which attracted a lot of attention for a while.

And what about Addison himself? The boy blocked out all the arguments about him from the outside world, and spent the rest of the time in the team's training hall for the past two days, except for eating and resting.

After the game against the Rockets, Addison further saw his lack of ability on the offensive end. I thought that the mid-to-long-range shooting that had improved a lot would still be inaccurate in the face of Beverley's crazy entanglement, and he would still avoid shooting from the outside.

In this regard, he is still too far behind experienced veterans like Wade and Bosh, and if he continues like this, he may really face the danger of being dumb after the opponent starts to defend him.

So Addison took the initiative to find trainer Rutgers in the past two days, and he wanted to strengthen his training, in addition to outside projection, and continue to play against Tony. Parker-esque offensive skills.

- Seriously, Add, that Taylor. Hill is a sexy and cute person, don't you really do anything in response to people??

Joe teased in an occasional text message, leaving Addison speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to this kind of thing, but then again, wouldn't it be the best response if he played well in the next fixtures?

In this way, amid the uncalm public opinion and Addison's increasingly firm belief, the rested Miami Heat welcomed their next opponent at home, the Timberwolves from the ice city of Minnesotapolis.

The Timberwolves have undergone significant personnel changes this season, and their absolute core, Kevin Brown. Love moved to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they got Andrew Brown, the most promising pick in this year's draft. Wiggins. At the same time, the Timberwolves' uniform team also selected UCLA's talented guard Zach through the team's original 13th pick. LaVine, this is also a young man with explosive physical talent.

In this rookie's physical fitness rankings, Addison ranked third, and the two ahead of him were Andrew. Wiggins and Zach. Levine. Because of this, the Timberwolves-Heat game thrilled the media, who described it as a battle between Wiggins and LaVine against Addison.

The battle between the veteran and experienced Miami Heat and the talented Minnesota Junior Army is a gimmick that attracts a lot of attention to the game.

With about half an hour to go before the official start of the game, both home and away teams are warming up in their respective halves.

Addison's face was calm, and he was silently practicing his shooting one step in the three-point line, and no one around him came to disturb him. Through this period of contact, most of his teammates have somewhat figured out the boy's habits - in the period before the game started, Addison didn't like to communicate with anyone, just shooting in silence.

"Wow......" Wade, who was chatting with Bosh, glanced at the entrance of the passage into the stadium, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and let out a low cry of surprise.

Several members of the Heat team turned their heads to look at each other with low voices, and then all of them looked at Addison with playful smiles.

The boy, who had always had a keen sense, was stimulated by the countless glances that were thrown at him, and he turned his head blankly. Wade turned to Sinunu's lips in the audience, motioning for Addison to pay attention.

In the second row of the audience, near the Heat's bench, two tall and slender figures had just sat down. One of the beautiful girls with slightly darker skin and black hair is none other than Taylor, who has identified herself as a big fan of Addison on Twitter. Hill; Another fair-skinned, long, brown-blonde girl with long brown hair Addison didn't recognize, but the goose egg face with a hint of classical beauty attracted his attention even more. This girl is better than Taylor. Hill is a little shorter, but he is just as slender and hot.

"Taylor. Hill and Barbara. Parveen ...... When will our home stadium be able to make supermodels of this level interested in coming? Bosh squinted and muttered, then turned his gaze to Addison, "Why didn't I feel that this boy who didn't talk was so attractive??" ”

"Maybe it's because you're not a woman, Chris." Wade chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, clapping his hands to keep his teammates' attention focused, "I think you've seen it too...... There's no reason for us to lose this game today, do we? ”

"For Eddie's love?" Bosh asked deliberately at the right time.

The teammates all let out a knowing laugh, James. Ennis and Andrea. Dawkins and several other young people even winked at Addison.

The Chinese boy rolled his eyes at the gossipy group of teammates and rejoined his shooting practice.

I haven't said a word, what kind of love is it......
