"You know, Add, I rarely really praise anyone. But allow me to commend you...... Boy, you've been playing well this time. Wade said with a smile, reaching out and patting Addison on the back.

The Chinese point guard just tapped him twice on the chest, then pointed at Wade and smiled softly, just like Addison did when 'The Flash' went off the court with an injury.

- What I promised, I will definitely do.

Although recovery training is still underway, Wade's return has also given the Heat a great encouragement. This is the role of the team spirit, as long as he appears in front of everyone, he can make the players more confident.

Wade returned to training with veteran captain Udonis, who had been out of injury for a long time. Haslem, it's just that Haslem is now more in the dressing room than on the field, and even if he returns to the court, he will only play less than ten minutes a game at most.

Sean. Williams & Josh. McRoberts did well in the second team, and the two of them plus Chris Brown. Anderson is the first choice for Spoelstra to rotate the interior line today.

After a day of training, Addison was called into the office by Spoelstra, but not the head coach's office, but Pat. Riley's office.

The management has made a formal decision to hire a good psychiatrist for Addison to find a way to alleviate or even cure Addison's aphasia symptoms. Pat Today. Riley wanted to talk to the Chinese rookie, and he hoped that Addison would approve of the decision.

"You should try to touch your life with language as much as possible, Eddie. You're a point guard, and you're a public figure, and you can't be so silent forever directing your teammates, and you can't be silent forever about media inquiries. "Pat. Riley's words were very convincing, "especially when you become a team leader later on...... You must aspire to be a leader, right? When you become the talker in the locker room, you need to speak, you need to encourage victory, you need to comfort defeat. You can't sit in the corner of the locker room like you do now, with Wade or Bosh doing it all.

"It is true that there are high-profile and low-key leaders, but there can be no silent leaders. You want to live in a silent shell for the rest of your life, just being a point guard who is considered good; Or do you want to be a leader, lead your team to the glory you want, and keep your name in the history of the NBA and in the Hall of Fame......"

Pat. Riley and Addison talked a lot, and eventually the Chinese rookie agreed to be treated for aphasia. He also wants to see the day when he can speak again, just as a blind man has always longed to see color again.

Not to mention, just like Pat. Riley said he was going to be a leader sooner or later.

No leader is silent and leads the team......

***

The three days allowed the Heat players to get plenty of rest and get back to their best physical fitness. On January 20, U.S. time, they welcomed the next opponent of the regular season.

One of the craziest teams in the league of talent, led by Kevin Brown. Durant and Russell. Westbrook's Oklahoma City Thunder.

As one of the league's superteams, the Thunder have not had a smooth season this season. Kevin. Durant has been sidelined for a long time since the beginning of the season due to injury, and it was only recently that he returned from injury. The Thunder, led by Westbrook alone, didn't even have a win rate of more than half, and the team has been outside the top eight in the West.

However, with the return of the dual-core, the energetic Thunder began to chase with ferocious momentum. Now they have chased their record to 20 wins and 20 losses, and the win rate has reached 50%.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and ESPN snatched the rights to the live broadcast from TNT and FOX, who once again fielded Drexler and Bill. Wharton's ace pairing.

"I have a hunch, Clyde, that tonight is going to be a very dazzling game! The two teams share the same talent and strength, and even have some tactical similarities. "Bill. Wharton said to his partner.

"Yes, the Thunder are also a team that has a knack for counter-attacking, and pick-and-roll is also an offensive style that they use a lot." Drexler nodded in agreement, "But the Heat are clearly at a disadvantage tonight. Although Wade appeared to love you on the sidelines, he did not make the squad. The Thunder are notoriously quick on the defensive end, and the Miamins' pick-and-roll play is fully deployed, which I question. ”

There was no friendly interaction between the two sides before the game. Durant once had a falling out with Wade on Twitter, claiming that Harden has surpassed the 'Flashes' and is the best scoring guard in the league. One can imagine Wade's reaction to such a statement......

Westbrook shook Addison's hand, but he didn't say much, as he didn't have much to say with an aphasia person he had never met.

"It's okay, it's okay, the game hasn't started yet! Hurry up, Lin Yanmo! It's all because of you, it's almost late! In the audience, a beautiful girl with a double ponytail greeted her in a sweet voice as she moved to her seat.

"What do you call me?! This dead girl, don't you even call your sister now?! Lin Yanmo gritted her teeth, and her smiling eyes were so angry that she couldn't have opened up, "If I hadn't smuggled you out, you little girl would have been in school now!" ”

"Oops...... It's just an extra class during the winter vacation, so it's okay to miss a few classes! Lin Xiaoxiao waved his hand indifferently, walked to his seat and sat down, "It's hard to go to the scene to watch the game, this is Addison's home field!" I'm not my sister, you can come if you want in the United States. ”

"We also have to do the interview according to the instructions of the company, okay?" Lin Yanmo rolled her eyes coldly, "Anyway, you little girl, pay attention, your father doesn't allow you to fall in love before you go to college......"

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted his head and blinked with a black and white smile: "I'm not in love, and I haven't confessed to anyone so far...... Many people in my school have confessed to me, but I have rejected all of them. ”

Lin Yanmo looked at her cute sister and sneered, and her mouth snuggled into the court.

"I have to set at least one goal, I'm also a girl, I'll be 18 years old in a few months......" Lin Xiaoxiao didn't feel the slightest embarrassment in the face of her sister's gaze, "Besides, Addison is my idol, I want to get close to my idol, can't I?" ”

"Of course you can, it's okay to get close to idols...... Lin Yanmo turned her gaze back to the court, her slender fingers on her chin, "I still remember that more than half a year ago, you begged me to book you tickets for EXO's concert in S City, idol, it's understandable-"

“Stop！！！ Stop me!! Lin Xiaoxiao's fair face instantly turned red, and even the bridge of her delicate nose wrinkled, "How long ago was that?!" I'm not interested in K-pop idols at all now! Without! ”

Lin Yanmo deliberately put on a surprised expression: "Is that so?!" That really surprised me......"

"Y-If you're... If you dare to bring this up in front of Addison...... I'm just... I'll just ......"

"What about you, little girl? Beware that I won't take you out again! ”

“……”

Addison didn't know that the two sisters of the Lin family had also come to the scene, and he was sorting out his bracers and knee pads and coming to stand in the middle of the field.

The Thunder's starting lineup is center Steven. Adams, power forward Sergi. Serge Ibaka, small forward Kevin. Durant, shooting guard Andre. Roberson and point guard Russell. Westbrook.

The Heat are still regular Whiteside, Bosh and Ruhr. Deng, James. Ennis and Addison.

Steven, a centre-forward from New Zealand. Adams is physical, but he is far behind Whiteside in terms of reach and jumping. The basketball tossed high by the referee was picked up by Whiteside first, and was gently picked up by Addison and taken down.

The American Airlines Arena quickly erupted into enthusiastic cheers, and although the jump ball victory had no substantial benefits, it was a momentum suppression for the spectators. Teams with excellent physical interior lines generally have fans who are very concerned about the outcome of the jump ball.

Russell. Westbrook was ready at the three-point line and was waiting for Addison's offense. The super-physical point guard is now 6-foot-3 in tall and weighs a full 90-kilogram, and with his beastly physique, Westbrook is a great threat on the defensive end, even if his defensive skills are not great.

Addison could feel the intimidation, and he raised his hand to signal Whiteside to cover. The Heat center immediately came up from the box, and Addison moved to the right with the help of a block.

Westbrook's method of cracking pick-and-rolls is unique, and his strength and tonnage are sufficient, so he can quickly get out of the entanglement, whether he is up or around. This time, Westbrook chose to go around the back because he knew that Addison's lethality from beyond the three-point line was mediocre.

Westbrook's ability to squeeze Whiteside away from behind stunned the Heat center, and Addison was blocked by his opponent after he had just taken less than two steps to the three-point line.

The Chinese point guard didn't panic either, pulling the ball back and taking a step. Whiteside, who had just finished covering at the three-point line, moved over to block for Addison, and Westbrook wanted to squeeze through again, but it was already a hot spot for Addison's shooting.

Two steps from the three-point line facing the basket, Addison jumped and was not defended from the side. Robertson interfered. The basketball crosses a gentle arc and swipes through the net with precision in everyone's sight!

The Miami people shouted for their team's first score, cheering through the massive American Airlines arena.

"Addison scored the first goal of the game!" Bill. Wharton laughed and said, "It's going to be a good game!" My instincts have told me that! ”
