Chapter Fifty-Nine: Continuous Play
"It seems that my prediction skills are still good, and Bosh has really been ravaged by Dwight." Kevin. The expression on Harlan's face was wonderful, and he raised an eyebrow at the two partners.
"That's to be expected, Kevin, but there's not really a real center in the starting lineup of this Heat team." Reggie. Miller shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, "It's a fantasy to have Bosh, who is about as skinny as me, defend that monster that is close to 280 pounds. ”
"The strength of Miami's roster is in the offense," said Doug. Collins explained in the professional tone of a former head coach, "For example...... Right now! ”
Addison, who was on the court, took the serve and walked through the half court unhurriedly, and Beverley immediately pressed up, sneered and whispered in front of the boy: "Rookie, you will pay the price for your previous arrogance!" I'll let you roll back to the bench like a torn rag doll! ”
After saying that, Beverley took advantage of the referee's obstruction of his vision and stabbed Addison hard in the waist. The boy took a breath of cold air in pain, and hurriedly pulled the ball and took a step back, avoiding the opponent's palm that wanted to pull the ball.
"See, rookie? You're going to be like a yellow rat being bitten by me all the time! Beverly's smile showed disdain, and he bared his teeth at the boy.
Addison's eyes narrowed slightly, he remembered the news that the media had rumored that this guy and Jeremy Lin were incompatible before, and now it seems to be true, this guy in front of him obviously has a contempt for the yellow race, and he is even more undisguised on the field.
Addison never thought of himself as a good man, and if he were, he probably wouldn't have survived the Harlem winter. His final bottom line is not to allow others to insult his blood and skin color, and once he crosses this bottom line, he will definitely fight back, fiercely and fiercely.
The boy handed the ball to Ruhl on the flank. Deng, just as Beverly was about to taunt, he was already running quickly to the right. Ruhr. Deng willingly re-passed the ball to Addison, and the Chinese rookie suddenly dribbled behind Beverley, who had just chased after him and had not yet stood firm, and his center of gravity shifted to the left. Beverley shifted his right foot as his center of gravity shifted. Addison took advantage of this moment to hit the ball from his back again, put the ball back in his right hand, and quickly slammed it to the right.
Such a rapid movement of the center of gravity was difficult for Beverley, who was agile in lateral movement, and he was about to catch up, but he suddenly bumped into a thin and tough body. Addison took advantage of Bosh's cover to shake off his opponent immediately, cut into the box along the flank, and moved sideways to the free-throw line area.
Howard knew that area was a hot spot for yellow-skinned rookies, so he didn't dare to slack off and immediately ran out of the basket, intending to block Addison's jump shot, while Beverley on the other side also turned and chased after him.
However, to the surprise of these two men, Addison pulled the ball with his right hand and moved a step to the right, from only facing Howard to facing 'Warcraft' and Beverley.
Facing Beverley, who was a little surprised, Addison deftly made a half-hanging and half-pushing pass with his right hand, and the basketball flew just over Beverley's head to the baseline. Bosh, who cut through the air all the way, took the pass, took a heavy step and jumped straight to the basket.
Before Howard could turn around and pounce back, the 'Dragon King' had already dunked the basketball into the net basket like catharsis!
The sound of the basket being violently pulled instantly detonated the American Airlines arena, and the Miami hug pump seemed to vent all the previous frustration, and the roars and cheers pierced the ears of the Rockets players.
"A dazzling pick-and-roll attack!" Doug. Collins nodded with satisfaction, he still couldn't put away the former profession of head coach, "Addison's overall picture and passing ability can allow the Heat to use a not complicated pick-and-roll offense to directly tear apart the Houstoners' defensive system, although McHale's Rockets team also has no defensive system......"
"Beverley should be in the mood to kill by now," Reggie said. Miller teased the Rockets point guard mercilessly, "He was teased by Addison again, and maybe this time he can understand it thoroughly - the point guard can not only score but also pass the ball on the court." ”
***
"Defend! I can't see your defenses! McHale yelled from the sidelines, very unhappy that Howard had just missed Bosh's cut.
Beverly felt his chest explode, and the more he looked at the yellow man now, the more he wanted to smash his fist over, and he would never admit that he would not be able to guard against a yellow skin. You must know that this season, against his former teammate Jeremy Lin, Beverley defended the opponent all over the court and scored zero, which made his contempt for the yellow race almost the peak.
Bastard rookie! I'm going to bite you!
Harden probed outside the three-point line and passed the ball back to Beverley when he saw that there was no room for it, which made Beverley feel that his opportunity had come.
"I'm a dog, boy......" he said to the boy in front of him in a low voice, his teeth baring restlessly again, as his right hand quickened the frequency of the dribble.
To be honest, Beverley's offensive ability is still good, both playing without the ball and attacking with the ball when necessary. However, compared to his offensive level and defense, it is not so noteworthy, and there is still a big gap compared to Wall and Lowry, which Addison has played against before.
Beverley slammed the ball and squeezed Addison inside. He deliberately engaged in a physical confrontation with the boy, wanting to give the rookie another shot with his left elbow to make him understand the dark arts in the NBA.
But at the moment when the two people made physical contact, Beverley's expression suddenly changed, and the pace of dribbling unexpectedly stumbled.
At this time, if the referee did not have his line of sight, he could see Addison at the moment of impact, his hanging right arm was quickly raised, and his right hand fist was "lightly" pounded on the opponent's abdomen.
“Sh*t!!!”
It was this 'gentle' blow that made Beverly feel like he had been chiseled into the abdomen with an iron tool, almost chiseled out. In a panic, his dribble increased, and Addison seized the opportunity to reach out with his arm and slash into the ball with precision.
The basketball stumbled forward twice and was picked up by a Chinese boy. Annoyed, Beverley tried to press Addison to make him miss, but the boy was prepared and distributed the ball to Wade, who retreated to pick up.
"He's fouled! Didn't you see that?! He punched me in the abdomen!! Beverley, grim-faced, yelled at the referee as he stepped back to defend himself, but the referee ignored him, and all he got was a boo from the American Airlines Stadium.
"This steal doesn't seem to be that simple...... "Kevin. Harlan watched the replay carefully, "Addison seems to have an unconscious joint movement of his right arm when he is fighting Beverley, it seems that this rookie just subconsciously pushed the opponent's abdomen, but I am afraid that I can't see this from the referee's sight." ”
"Hey, Kevin, you know, when I play, I also really like this kind of 'unconscious joint action'......" Reggie. Miller laughed darkly twice, and even his tone became a little calm.
***
"What the hell are you doing?! If you like bench seats, I'll satisfy you right now!! McHale yelled at Beverley in frustration that this guy's single just now didn't fit the team's offensive order at all, and there was no player that a coach likes to casually disrupt the tactical order on the court.
The head coach's reprimand slightly extinguished the crazy burning anger in Beverley's heart, and he also knew that his behavior just now was a move to disrupt the team's offensive order, so he had to force down the resentment of being suppressed by the rookie in front of him several times in a row.
Wade controlled the ball in front of the three-point line, shook off Harden with the help of a screen, attracted the bag and threw the ball to Sean in the bottom corner. Williams, but the power forward's open three-pointer missed.
After Howard won the defensive rebound, he threw a long throw to the fast-going Harden without saying a word. 'Beard' used his individual ability, broke through to the three-point line, sacrificed European steps, forced a layup against the defense, and although he couldn't hit, it caused Ruhr. Deng fouled.
Spoelstra frowned, and he found that this Rockets team was also very good at counter-attacking under McHale's tutelage. Although it is not like the Heat, all five people on the court can be quick and fast, but with Harden's super individual ability and the maneuverability of Ariza and Beverley, he can also play a sharp counterattack.
Coupled with this team's strong interior configuration...... Miami will have to have a tough time winning this game, more than the previous three games......
Because this is the first time this season that they have come up against a team that is so balanced and strong both inside and outside.
Harden stepped to the free-throw line, and with the feel of this 'one-point shooting professional', it was impossible to make mistakes on both free throws, and both of them were safely thrown into the net.
Addison takes over from Ruhr. Deng's serve, just after half-court, raised his hand to signal to his teammates to strengthen their running. The boy knows very well that the more he plays against a strong team, the more he needs to run. Opportunities can only be created if they run.
In particular, the Rockets' defense is not solid, and Motaiyunas's slow pace cannot keep up with Sean, who likes to float on the three-point line. Williams; And James. Harden's usual loose defensive attitude is a great opportunity for Wade's off-ball running to exert his strength.
Addison knows that the Beverley he is facing is the Rockets' defensive strength, which is different from the 76ers, they can't make the Rockets' defense collapse as a whole, so looking for opportunities from the opponent's defensive weaknesses is the best option.
Wade made two consecutive feints to move his center of gravity on the wing and rushed to the right, and Harden tried to follow but bumped into Sean. Williams, simply 'Bearded' simply stopped chasing and watched Wade break away from his defense.
This is a pain for Motaiyunas, even the 32-year-old Wade's movement speed is not something he can keep up with, and the Lithuanian has to do his best to change the defense.
Addison, who was at the top of the arc, saw this scene, handed the ball to his left hand, and with a rapid shake of his wrist, the basketball hit the ground and went straight to Wade, who cut into the air. Beverley couldn't even see the opponent's pass, and naturally couldn't intercept the pass.
Howard, who was originally going to guard the basket, saw that Wade got the ball, and Motai Yunas was obviously struggling to defend himself, so he hurriedly brought it up from under the basket to help defend the 'Flash'.
Wade held the ball and squeezed Motai Yunas for a step, and then shrewdly passed the ball to Bosh, who had already risen to the top of the post. Bosh had an intimidatingly high shooting percentage in this position, and he skilfully made a light jump to throw the ball before Howard pounced.
The ball hit the basket with precision, which made McHale on the sidelines purse his mouth.
