After scoring by Addison, Duncan looked at the Chinese point guard who ran back to the half court with his trademark blank eyes, and then looked at Parker who walked over to receive the serve. The French point guard spread his hands with a knowing smile on his face: "A lot of times I feel like time is passing too fast, and there are already young people in the league who are imitating my offensive style. ”

Just now Addison's basket turned and layup is to imitate Tony. Parker's way of scoring, that's why Duncan was stunned for a moment after he made a layup. The Troika of the Holy City is not young, and the longer they spend in the Alliance, the more they feel that they are still young and have the energy to continue fighting.

It is only when they see themselves becoming a model for more and more young people to emulate that they realize that they may be really old......

"Then let them see for themselves how the real TP9 attacks, old man." Duncan fed the ball to Parker and ran through the half court at the same pace as his teammates.

Tony. The corners of Parker's mouth went up, "Of course." ”

Tim. Duncan came to the three-point line and instead of continuing to the inside, he neatly made a cover for Parker, and the French point guard tentatively moved the ball to the right. With Leonard in the No. 4 position, Bosh could no longer run up to defend the pick-and-roll due to the opposing team's offensive firepower, so Whiteside had to mention near the free throw line to block.

Addison was briefly held back in place by the Stone Buddha, but with his nimble escape ability, he retreated to bypass cover and pounced on Parker from the side. The 32-year-old 'French sports car' has lost the agility of his youth, but his attacking prowess has not been greatly weakened. Parker switched to a left-handed ball when the Chinese rookie pounced to help the defense, stepped back slightly to avoid Addison's interfering ground knife, and again switched to breaking through from the left side.

Duncan, who had finished covering on the three-point line, ran over again and stood up again to provide Parker with a block. Addison was stuck in place again, and because the cover was on the edge of the paint area, it was even harder for him to get out of it this time.

Parker, who attacked on the left with a pick-and-roll, faced Whiteside again and raised his hands upwards as he dribbled into the box, and Whiteside's center of gravity was immediately picked up by his opponent. However, Parker paused his feet, fixed his right foot in place, stepped forward with his left foot, sideways to wipe off the Heat center, and held the basketball with his right hand to make a low-handed layup.

Whiteside, who was wiped out, wanted to block but couldn't do anything, so he could only watch the opponent pick the basketball into the basket with his low hand, but he was helpless like an uncontrolled rag doll. The basketball that fell on the floor and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience seemed to mock him, and the young center who grabbed the ball smashed it to the floor unhappily, and the baseline referee glanced at him, but after thinking about it, he still did not pursue it.

"The whole world knows the best three-board axe of this French sports car – turning, throwing and low-handed layups." Kenny. Smith seemed to imitate Parker's moves, "TP9 is using his actions to show that Addison's imitation is still hot, and he is the only one in the league who can do this kind of offense with the most skillful and sharp." ”

"See Tony now. Parker, I still think of the rookie who didn't know anything but run as hard as he could when he first entered the league. O'Neal quipped, "This kid probably shot worse than me when he first entered the league...... At the time, I could not have imagined that he would become one of the top point guards in the league in terms of offensive ability. ”

The joyous banter on the live broadcast was in stark contrast to the increasingly difficult situation for the Heat on the court, and Leonard's move to guard Bosh severely weakened the Heat's pick-and-roll. Bosh seems to feel like he was beaten by Drummond again against the Warriors. Green's powerlessness that haunted the whole game, and he didn't have the ability to play with his back in the low post on the inside, and he was irritated by Leonard throughout the second quarter.

Seeing that Bosh was being targeted, Addison wanted to continue to block and kill with Whiteside, but the Heat center still had a big gap in scoring ability compared to Bosh. His high half-volleys are very unstable, and it is difficult to break Duncan's defense after going down or falling to the low post, and the offensive efficiency is low.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Heat could only rely on Wade and Addison to build points on their own ability, but they could not effectively limit the Spurs' offense on the defensive end. By the time the halftime whistle blew, the score between the two sides became 45-53, and the Spurs led the Heat by eight points at home.

***

"We can't go on like this, Eric! If you continue to be passive like this, the score difference will only get bigger and bigger! 'As soon as he got back to the dressing room, Wade said to the manager. ' The Flash's first half was a lot longer than usual, but even that didn't close the gap.

Spoelstra didn't know the importance of making changes, but Vic's move captured the biggest problem of the Heat right now, making it difficult for him to deal with it.

James. Ennis is not Ruhr. Deng, although he is a good player, he is better at rushing to the front in the fast counterattack. In terms of his ability to attract and involve defense in positional warfare, he was far inferior to the British.

The reason why Leonard dared to keep an unscrupulous stare at Chris. Bosh, because he knew that Ennis only needed a height outside to keep an eye on (Marco. Belinelli took on the task), and he was not much of a threat on the offensive end. And Bosh isn't Kevin either. Garnett, he doesn't have the ability to create offensive space for himself, he is not good at playing with his back in the low post, and his ability to attack with the ball in the high post has also been worn out in the past few seasons as a battery. Once he and Addison's pick-and-roll connection on the offensive end is severed, Bosh's lethality will be drastically reduced, as he did against the Golden State Warriors before.

This is not a simple problem that can be solved by the excellent performance of Addison and Wade, but a fundamental problem of the team's usual tactics being hollowed out. The opponent is the top player in the league, and the slightest mistake on the field can be caught by the opponent and decide the outcome of the game, not to mention a serious mistake that destroys the tactics.

Spoelstra really couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for a while, so he could only temporarily replace Bosh, who had been entangled for a whole section, and send Josh. McRoberts has added an inside playpoint in hopes of sharing some of the scoring with the team's outside firepower.

The head coach sent Hassan. Whiteside, Josh. McRoberts, James. Ennis, Taylor. With a half-main and half-rotation lineup like Johnson and Addison, Leonard and Duncan, who have played for a long time, will definitely sit on the sidelines at the beginning of the third quarter, which is the key moment for the Heat to grab points.

"The Heat's offense felt like it was stuck in the mud in the second half of the second quarter, and it was the first time I've seen Addison deliver just two assists in a single quarter." Kenny. Smith scratched his scalp, "Maybe the opening period of the second half could give Miami some respite, Patti. Mills & Thiago. A defensive lineup like Split should also be able to make Addison play a little more comfortable. ”

"Addison has to strengthen his individual offense, and while his job is to organize, he needs to draw more defensive attention with his individual offense when the pick-and-roll is blocked by the opposition." Barkley spoke his mind, and he still hoped in his heart that the Heat could win this game.

"Nine points and six assists, that's good enough for a rookie point guard...... But for Addison, it shouldn't have been a result that he had worked so hard to come up with. O'Neal looked at the statistics of the first half of the Chinese rookie, "He can do more, you must know that in this game, the defense of the No. 1 position has not been laid out, and this is Addison's chance." ”

Addison took the basketball and glanced at the opposing lineup. Mills, Manu. Ginobili, Mako. Belinelli, Boris. Dio and Thiago. Split, a typical lineup that focuses on offense, seems to have the idea of breaking the opponent with offense at the beginning of the third quarter.

It is worthy of being the head of the Thousand Miles Sect...... The decisiveness and ruthlessness in the details even sent chills down the hearts of the Chinese point guards......

Patty. Mills stared cautiously at Addison, knowing that his own defense was bad, but he still didn't want to be easily beaten through by a first-year rookie.

But his idea was destined to be extravagant, and Addison was very decisive in the face of Mills's impact, and he didn't even use the block and dismantle cover. The Chinese rookie rarely encountered a few opponents in the league who were shorter and weaker than him, and he raised his left elbow and rushed out to the right.

Mills' chest ached at the moment of impact, and his left leg couldn't help but take a step back to the side. Addison's sprint increased again, as if he wanted to follow the gap into the box. Mills swallowed the pain and quickly slid to his left side to block his rival's breakthrough.

But in response was the muffled sound of a basketball hitting the floor, and the reddish-brown ball passed under Addison's left leg and bounced to his left hand. The Heat's point guard swerved abruptly to the left, and he took a step forward past the out-of-position Mills to the free throw line.

Boris on the side. Dior let go of McRoberts and tried to pounce on the defense, but the French fat man's speed was too slow for Addison, and when his palm blocked, Addison had already thrown the basketball to the basket. Dio's hand didn't touch the basketball, but swept it on the left wrist of the Chinese rookie.

“NO！！！” Boris who fell back to the ground. Dio immediately turned to the baseline and the referee yelled in frustration because he heard the referee blowing the whistle for a foul on his own thug.

However, the next sound he heard made the interior player even more helpless, the crisp grinding sound of the basketball hollow brushing over the net. But this voice Dior didn't sound crisp at all, but it made his mood fall to the bottom.

Boris's generosity made Addison's 2+1 !! This might be a good start!! Barkley laughed unconsciously.
