The basketball was tossed high into the air at the referee's whistle, and Whiteside was a full shot ahead of Mozgov from the moment he jumped, and his long arm scrambled to the basketball, slapping it to his side and back. Ennis took the basketball with his arms outstretched, quickly passed it to Addison, and headed for the front court.

It can be said that the two teams have no secret tricks on the court that they have not seen each other, and the Heat's positioning strategy James and others are already very familiar with it, and they quickly responded to the placement with corresponding defensive formations. Addison dribbled the ball through the half-court in an unhurried rhythm as usual, stepping on the top of the three-point line to make a gesture to Whiteside inside, signaling him to come over and cover.

The center's solid body blocked J.R. Smith, and Addison dribbled from the right side into the three-point line. In the last game, Addison and Whiteside's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation left a deep impression on the Cavaliers. Blatter's evaluation of Whiteside has been raised a notch, and he has made a point of emphasizing the defense of the two youngsters inside and out. J.R. Smith squeezed past Whiteside and chased after Addison, and Mozgov mentioned a step from the free throw line while guarding the movement of the opposing point guard and center. The Cavaliers' defensive strategy was to allow Addison and Whiteside to link up, but to delay Whiteside down the box as long as possible and force him to shoot from 10 feet away from the basket; Even if Whiteside goes down to the penalty area, try to prevent him from taking the first shot to the basket and force him to attack with his back to himself.

In David. In Blatter's concept, Whiteside showed better offensive ability than others expected, but he was not Chris. Nor is Bosh Alonzo. Mourning's shortcomings in the low post offense, rough footwork and inconsistent high post half-volley ability are still obvious. The Cavaliers left Whiteside too many opportunities to catch the ball and face the basket in the last game, and this one they have to change.

Out of the corner of his eye as Addison dribbled towards the paint on the right side, he observed the defensive intensity of Mozgov and JR. Smith on the side, and he found that although the two men were still chasing and helping to defend him, they were not pressing as tightly as before, and Mozgov was clearly not paying a lot of attention to himself. The corners of the Chinese point guard's mouth twitched, and this momentary observation had made him roughly understand the Cavaliers' defensive concept for pick-and-roll.

- Want to restrict the big man from going down, or simply limit the connection between the two of us...... Hasn't the G1G2 taught these Clevelands a lesson? I'm not that rigid guy, and I'm not a point guard who can be limited so easily......

"Uhh The two Cavaliers players reacted almost subconsciously as they took a big step towards the empty space to intercept the pass!

Unexpectedly, Addison didn't intend to pass the ball at all, and only halfway through the action of holding the basketball with his palm, his wrist and fingers used force at the same time to reverse the basketball again. "Bang !!" , the basketball hit the floor and bounced back to Addison's right side, while the Chinese point guard drove his body to move sideways to the right side with agility, and the defender opened up a clear position!

When flanking Iman. By the time Shambaugh understood his opponent's intentions and was ready to pounce to help, Addison was already holding the basketball and jumped back slightly, making the mid-range jumper with a shake of his wrist. The Cleveland man has long seen the Chinese rookie's mid-range prowess, and now every time he makes a mid-range shot, the hearts of Cavaliers fans go to their throats...... Since this guy entered the playoffs, he has definitely shot more than 50% from mid-range within 21 feet under the basket, which is terrifying accuracy for an outside player......

"!!Shh The sound of the basketball swiping through the net made the fans at the quick loan center helpless, but they still sent a strong boo to the skinny yellow-skinned point guard in the court. The better Addison's home performance in Cleveland, BJ's kingdom does not allow outsiders to go wild here, not to mention that it is a unique existence with black hair and yellow skin (Ohio, Georgia and New York, where Cleveland is located, are the three most racist regions in the United States, and it is recommended that friends who are not fully prepared do not rush to these three regions to travel, it is really likely that something will happen).

"Addison's mid-shot shot! It's a good start for the Heat, whose core players still look good tonight, continuing their great run of form since the series! "Kenny. Smith laughed and praised, "At least we don't have to watch Addison and Carey all the time like we did in the last game. Owen took turns to perform iron. While defense is very important in the playoffs, it's always better to score a goal than a game of iron for spectators. ”

"I'm now more focused on the psychological shadow area of JR. Smith and Mozgov, how many times have they been teased by Addison in this series?" Barkley had a dark and sly expression on his face, "While I respect every defender on the pitch, I don't think this kind of embarrassment is anything they like to experience. In quantitative terms, the game of basketball is a competition where the offensive and defensive ends read each other's opponents...... Now it seems that Addison's reading speed is significantly faster and much deeper than that of JR and Mozgov. ”

J.R. Smith and Mozgov did feel embarrassed, or rather, they had become numb to it. Addison had already embarrassed them several times in the ring, and it would be nothing to do it again. This guy's ability to read the defense is too terrible, which even David on the sidelines. Blatter is also well aware that he rarely sees a player on the field observe the game more quickly and deeply than the people on the sidelines. Even an old man who has been in the Mixed Alliance for more than ten years can hardly do this, but Addison's talent lies in this, and there are few tactical arrangements that can deceive his eyes.

***

Offensive and defensive conversion, LeBron. James took the ball himself past half-time, and he took this 'battle of the king's mountain very seriously' and would never allow his team to lose this game at home. So James controlled the ball from the beginning of the game tonight, and he had to seriously sort out every round of offense, BJ's prestige in the Cavaliers has been established, and in this case, even the arrogant Kyrie. Irving won't be fighting him for the ball, after all, winning is the most important thing, and James is indeed the only player on the Cavaliers team who has excellent playmaking.

LBJ, who played the fourth position, did not hesitate to accelerate at the top of the arc and rushed inside. Deng struggled to fight and could only keep himself on the defensive while exerting pressure, unable to block the momentum of the opponent's impact. Ennis, who flanked for a moment, did not choose to rush to help the defense. Shambaugh has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and the level of air cutting is also good, and he is not an opponent who can easily let go of the air. James on top of Ruhr. Deng slammed into the free-throw line and swerved to the Englishman with a broad back to lure Whiteside to the defense. Deng couldn't hold back the strength and retreated. The Cavaliers leader took advantage of this gap to throw the basketball abruptly towards the basket area. Neither Deng nor Whiteside were able to block the pass.

Mozgov, who cut into the three-second zone, caught the basketball steadily, and Whiteside turned as fast as he could, but was stuck by the Russian center, watching as the opponent put the basketball into the basket with a backhand.

"The Cavaliers played a deep match, which was good! Although 80% of this ball relied on LBJ's individual ability, it was indeed a very good combination! "Kenny. Smith looked interested, "LeBron started very active and active, it seems that he has an absolute desire to win today!" ”

"Anyone who gets two games in a row is going to have an absolute desire to win, Kenny...... If this game is lost again, the Cavaliers will be in an indescribably passive position. Neither the number of wins nor losses nor the dignity of being a superstar will force James to fire all the shots tonight, and he's the first man in the active league anyway, I'll admit that. Barkley said as he wrenched his thick fingers, and the tone of disapproval made the Cavaliers supporters feel extremely annoyed, but they had to agree with the guy's analysis.

Addison glanced at LeBron, who was back to the half court after high-fiveing his teammates. James, he raised his eyebrows noncommittally. The opponent's strong play is in his expectations, and as a superstar and team leader, if James doesn't step up in this kind of scene, then it will be meaningless. Addison knew it was going to be a tough battle tonight, and they were going to face LBJ and Kyrie, who were forced to their best. Owen, it's hard to resist any of these two initiating madness, if the two of them are together......

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth...... Isn't that what competitive sports are all about......

After receiving Ennis' baseline serve, Addison slapped the basketball hard and jogged to advance to the Cavaliers' halfcourt. He dribbled slowly at the top of the arc while whispering to J.R. Smith, who was defending him, "You're old, Nerve Knife, there's no way you're going to be able to stop me now." Do you think they are complimenting you or sarcastically by calling you the 'nerve knife'? Do you think there is anything else that can save your unrecognized career? ”

Perhaps he had been quiet for too long in the previous years, and Addison was now more and more interested in trash talk on the court. Before Gary. Payton also said that he has a talent for this area, and that language on the court is an art, not only a language of encouragement and comfort between teammates, but also a mixture of opponents. With the older generation of trash talk goers disappearing from the league, the NBA in the small-ball era seems to have become too 'unwavering'. Jordan once complained that these young people's current trash talk would only make people laugh in his time, and it was not lethal at all. Addison was eager to see if he was capable of doing something about it, as he was now Gary. Peyton's student, he can't disgrace his teacher, can he?

"Rookie, do you think this kind of talk can irritate me? Do you think this can affect my ambitions? The corners of JR. Smith's mouth twitched, and he replied in a low voice, "You're just an arrogant rookie, and your childish tricks are useless in front of us!" ”

"Really? It seems that your observation has deteriorated to the point where you can't bear to look at it directly, old bird......" The Chinese point guard said as he quickly flung the basketball from behind his back to the left wing of the three-point line, and JR. Smith's gaze suddenly became stunned and panicked.

Just now, Daniel. Granger squeezed Carey from the corner. Irving cut inside and then took advantage of Whiteside's timely cover to run out of the 60-degree corner area outside the left three-point line. Addison's back-to-back pass was seamlessly linked to Granger's counter-run, and the veteran caught the ball directly from outside the three-point line, completely ignoring LeBron who rushed from the high post to make up the defense. James.

The knife fell, and the three points went into the net!!
