"I'm right, man, no matter how good a guy is, his dignity can only be challenged in the ring. There's no way a veteran like you who has been in the league for more than a dozen seasons doesn't know this, so don't say that childish thing again. After the game, Addison whispered as he hugged LeBron James, "We don't know how many times we will encounter each other in the future, and I will challenge the dignity of my opponent every time, will this still make you angry?" ”

James smiled and hugged before turning around and walking towards the players' tunnel. Speaking from the heart, LBJ performed well enough in this game, and when Kevin Love did not recover until the second half and the rest of his teammates did not play well, he scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal on 13-of-21 shooting, and carried the Cavaliers until the end of the fourth quarter with his own strength. But even so, he is still the undisputed loser of the game, BA is indeed not a place for anyone to rely on the old to sell the old, rely on the strong to sell the strong, the higher the place you stand, the more challengers will want to replace you. These challenges are unbreakable and unfinished, and a complete saga will not end until one day the person at the top chooses to retire.

"Congratulations on your away win tonight, Addison!" The reporter at the scene grabbed the Chinese point guard who was about to walk back to the locker room, and stuffed the microphone without hesitation. Addison had to smile helplessly, he didn't need to provoke these 'uncrowned kings' at this time, "It must feel good to be able to defeat your strongest opponent in the East, and you got a quasi-double-double of 30 tonight, which must have doubled your confidence, right?" ”

"Ell, it's great to be part of the game, it's really good. And my team-mates were great as well, and you can see they were creating chances for me tonight and we played the Miami style. Anyway, it's all about winning, and of course it would be nice to be like tonight. Addison shrugged his shoulders with a smile, he wouldn't let his answer go wrong. **These reporters have different attitudes towards him, some are strongly supportive of him, and some are specifically unpleasant to him, and he doesn't know which faction the reporter in front of him belongs to.

The reporter nodded, not revealing whether he was satisfied with such an answer, but continued to ask: "You were eliminated by the Cavaliers in the playoffs last season, and now you are defeating your opponent on the road, is this the perfect revenge plot for you?" Will it make your team stronger in the upcoming fixtures? ”

"Revenge? No, no, no......" Addison frowned without thinking, then quickly shook his head, "It's not revenge, it's not revenge to me. Listen, we're going to get rid of them in the playoffs, when they're all healthy, and that's the perfect revenge, and that's the best story for me. ”

After saying that, Addison took advantage of the reporter's stunned time to walk away, this kind of slightly middle-of-the-second rhetoric was not his style, but he didn't know why he said it without any hesitation just now. Fortunately, this kind of declaration is not provocative or ironic, even if the media wants to use it to create a gimmick, it is estimated that it is difficult, the rules of the NBA are like this, and the winner can say whatever he wants.

Addison wanted to return to the hotel after returning to the locker room to clean up, but the Heat didn't have a schedule for the next two days after this game, so they didn't have to rush back to Miami overnight. But his idea was stopped by Wade, in the past, Wade should have gone out with his friend James to get together or visit each other's homes, but this time Wade did not, but offered to invite Addison to have a supper.

Addison knew that Wade was looking for a chance to talk to him, and in fact, since he led the Heat to a highlight performance in the playoffs last season, he knew that Wade would definitely find a day to talk to him, sooner or later. Since the beginning of this season, many signs have been shown on the court, especially in today's game, whether it is the coaching staff arranging tactics or the whole team's tactical running on the court, the first choice in tackling tough battles has changed from the previous Wade to Addison; When LBJ narrowed the gap in the final quarter, Spoelstra decisively assigned Addison as the first shot option instead of Wade. All of this already shows that the Heat's on-court core has shifted from DADE to Addison, and whether Wade wants to admit it or not, this transformation is already a fact.

Thankfully, Wade accepted all of this calmly, and took the initiative to increase his running to create offensive space for Addison when he was scorching, and did not pose that he was the leader of the Heat team at all. This also made the Heat's uniform team secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and they originally thought that it would take a lot of time and energy to persuade Wade to accept that he was no longer the absolute core of the game, which would undoubtedly make the team's combat effectiveness and locker room stability problematic.

Wade and Addison chose a steakhouse, and unexpectedly Wade didn't talk about the change of power on the court during the meal, but just teased and joked with Addison or talked about the details of today's game. It wasn't until they had finished their supper and were about to leave the restaurant that Wade said to the young Chinese with a sincere expression:

"Take us with you...... Take Miami on your way, boy. Like I've said a long time ago, if it's you, it's absolutely fine. ”

Wade's words mean a lot, no longer just the encouragement of Addison in the past, but the official handover of the responsibility of on-court leadership between two generations of players. After Wade said this, he will only play the role of 'Addison's assistant' in the game in the future, and from this moment on, his greater responsibility is the leader of the locker room and the soul of the team, and everything on the court is centered on Addison.

At the beginning, Wade only experienced one season and became the well-deserved core of the team, even the arrival of Shaq O'Neal did not affect him to stand at the top of the team. However, at that time, the Heat team was basically in a leaderless state, Eddie Jones and Ramare Odom could not take on the responsibility of leadership at all, and Pat Riley's shocking trade coupled with Wade's outstanding strength and tenacity stood out and became the core of the team; And now Addison really used his performance to convince Wade, who is still strong, so that the Heat soul willingly gave up the absolute core position, and encouraged him to lead the Heat team to glory.

It's almost all the time in the NBA, an enduring business league, where a new generation of players brings an older generation off the throne, but if it can be done as calmly and naturally as it is between Wade and Addison, that's undoubtedly the most important thing the uniforms want to see.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest...... The rules of survival of business alliances are naturally cruel, but at least in some corners, warmth and understanding are still there.

After returning to Miami, Wade publicly said in the next day's training that Addison as the absolute core of the court is the best way for the Heat team to gather combat effectiveness, and other players will naturally not object to the speech of the team's soul, not to mention that most of them have already adapted to the rhythm of Addison's leading game, and it is too late to agree.

Entering November, the Heat first defeated the Houston Rockets at home 109-89 at home, and last season's Western Conference runner-up has put the team's internal conflicts and poor core form on the cards from the beginning of the preseason. The public romance between James Harden and socialite Khloe Kardashian in the offseason has attracted a lot of media and public attention, but I don't know if the Kardashian family is too toxic, or Harden failed to adjust his condition in the offseason. In the first game against the Denver Nuggets, Harden shot 6-of-21 from the field, and the Rockets lost 85-105 at home; In this game against the Golden State Warriors, Harden continued to play poorly, shooting only 4 of 18 from the field, leading the team to continue to lose by 20 points at home with 92:112...... And this time in the face of the morale of the Heat, James Harden played an extremely sluggish performance of 2 of 15 shots, if it weren't for the free throws of 12 of 14 shots that made him score a double, it is estimated that the major media will be even more crazy after the game.

"Who knows what the hell is going on with this guy?! In three games, even the net negative score is a full 20 points, could it be that this is God's black humor against Harden and the Rockets? The Houston Chronicle reporter complained in his personal forum, "Now I have to admit the terrifying magic of the Kardashians, who can make last season's regular season MVP contenders now in a state like falling into an ice cellar...... This kind of magic is probably nothing more than Cleopatra back then. ”

A day after the victory over the Houston Rockets, the Heat welcomed the Atlanta Hawks, who had the best record in the East last season. The Hawks' roster for the new season has not changed much, but after Demare Carroll's high-salary transfer to the Toronto Raptors, the 26-year-old Kent Bazemore jumped from the rotation to become the main guard swingman and played well. The two sides launched a fierce battle at the American Airlines Arena, and the Heat team defeated the Hawks with 24 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 blocks on 11-of-12 shooting from Whiteside, and Addison's excellent performance of 22 points, 10 assists, 2 rebounds and 3 steals on 9-of-16 shooting, and finally beat the Hawks 102-98 and achieved a four-game winning streak since the start of the new season.

Addison himself also won the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week Player of the Week in the first week of the 2015-16 season with an average of 215 points, 96 assists, 31 rebounds, 23 steals and 02 blocks per game with an average of 187 points, 163 rebounds, 10 assists and 21 blocks per game with his excellent performance in four games since the start of the season. The Western Conference's Player of the Week was Steven Curry, and the Warriors' number one star started the season averaging 393 points, 57 rebounds, 73 assists and 23 steals per game, while shooting 588% from the field...... The two point guards in the East and West won the Player of the Week, which also made many media announce the arrival of the point guard era in the small-ball era, which may be the beginning of a new era in the NBA.

However, what is even more remarkable is the strong form of the Heat since the start of the season, beating the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks, and the Houston Rockets...... The Miamians have shown that they are capable of winning against teams of all styles.

"The Heat are on the right path, and in the games I've seen, they've shown unity, they've shown resilience, and they've shown tactical and awareness clarity. It can be seen that at least on the court, the Heat is already Addison's team, their tactics are based on Addison, and the ball comes to Addison's hands for the first time when attacking the battle...... This is a wise choice and adjustment, and it is this adjustment that has allowed the Heat to show quite a strong fighting force in the new season. Now that the Heat team has the league's top core players, a good roster configuration, and a clear tactical command, I believe that the moment is not far off for them to create glory again, perhaps right now. ”
