Chapter Twenty-Nine: Don't Fall Behind
After receiving the ball, Addison found that Harden was in front of him, and the 'beard' wanted to delay him from launching a fast attack, but he saw the corner of the boy's mouth turned up, his right wrist shook, and the basketball flew away from Harden's open armpit.
Addison's wrists are several times stronger than those of a typical point guard, and his wrist-shaking passes are fast, running straight to the halfway line, and because all of his passes are in-spin, the ball has a tendency to bounce back when it hits the ground.
No one stopped Rudy, who single-handedly ran to the front. Guy comfortably received the rebounding ground-hitting pass and strode into the box to perform a big windmill dunk in an arrogant manner.
"Spread beautifully, rookie!!" The guy had been frustrating lately that he hadn't made it to the Dream Team's starting lineup, and he slapped the boy's ass hard when he vented a lot of anger at that button.
Negroes seemed to like this way of showing friendship, but Addison didn't like it because it really hurt...... And he really can't accept being slapped on the lower half of his body by a same-sex person......

Such a rapid fast break made the starting team a little unable to react, and after the transition between offense and defense, Curry and Harden and others will not let Irving play alone again, and giving each other a chance is already the biggest compromise between the bigwigs of these teams.
Irving couldn't find a good chance after taking it to the front court and handed the ball to Anthony, who was raised to the high post. Davis. At this time, Curry ran from the left bottom corner and went straight to the basket, and quickly drove to the 60° corner of the right three-point line with the help of Faried's empty-handed cover. Davis was the first to pass the ball to him, and his ability to find the void in the high post was the best among the new generation of insiders.
Curry didn't even pause after receiving the ball, and threw the basketball to the net basket with both arms, and DeRozan, who finally got rid of the cover, was just a beat slower, but he could only hear the sound of the basketball brushing through the net behind him.
"Remember what I told you yesterday, Add? That's the truth!! Curry, who was holding a three-point gesture, grinned at Addison and ran backwards back into the halfcourt, leaving DeRozan with only a dashing back.
The Chinese boy rolled his eyes, dismissive of the baby-face's provocation. After receiving Guy's serve, he slowly dribbled the ball through the half, facing Irving's seemingly good defensive stance, and the boy did not shout for a pick-and-roll.
Irving's defense has always been what he has been criticized for, and his not being top-notch physicality and loose defensive attitude make him unable to do well in either individual defense or help defense. Addison lowered his center of gravity, pulled the ball outward with his right hand, and his shoulders sank suddenly, making a trend to break to the right. Owen moved slightly to the left with the opponent's movements, and Addison took advantage of the situation to change hands under his crotch, and pulled his body back to the left.
Owen was a little shaken, but he still moved back to his center of gravity and changed his footsteps. However, Addison re-handed the basketball in his left hand from his crotch back to his right hand at this time, and his body changed direction for an unimaginably rapid third time.
Irving, who couldn't keep up, showed a clear gap, and Eddison kicked hard to use the gap to wipe inside the three-point line. He's never been afraid of Irving's lack of physical defense, even if it's as fast as he is...... Addison dribbles without physical contact or is not tough enough to defend.
Neatly passed Irving's defense and went straight to the inside, but Faried, who wanted to help the defense, had to follow because Plumlee ran to the high post, and he didn't want the white man to comfortably catch the ball in front of the free throw line, which was almost a point. Addison was about to rush into the three-second zone when Anthony. Davis made up for it, and the boy tapped the ball upwards slightly, and Davis, who was worried that the opponent was about to perform an empty catch, immediately raised a pair of long arms high.
Addison, on the other hand, took the opportunity to retract his arm and lightly slammed the basketball down the opponent's waist.
With excellent explosiveness, Demar forcibly shook off Curry. DeRozan slashed along the baseline, picked up the pass and jumped high with a scream.
Rumble!!!
Coherent!! It's dazzling and can't help but shout for it in one go!! From the breakaway to the split-point shot, to the air-cut dunk, it all seems so incomparable, if it is in an official game, it is definitely a classic of the top five balls. Even the Dream Team rotation players on the sidelines jumped up and cheered, and it was hard to see such a perfect passing and cutting combination even in the Dream Team training camp.
“Excellent!! Rookie, your passing is much more comfortable than the guy before!! DeRozan, who jumped off the basket, shouted at Addison without hesitation, and slapped the boy excitedly.
Derek off the field. Rose's face darkened directly, he didn't expect DeRozan to be so faceless. His athletic form has dropped a lot since two serious injuries, but even at his peak, Rose was not a point guard known for his control of the court, and his playmaking skills were only average among the league's many No. 1 positions.

In this game, Coach K gave Addison a total of 15 minutes of playing time, and the boy took 4 points, 8 assists and 1 steal. Owen's situation didn't dominate at all.
After the intra-team game, many Dream Team players became familiar with Eddison, especially players like Plumlee and Drummond who lacked the ability to attack independently, and these people now know that they have to be in a group with this rookie in practice games to brush up some beautiful stats and buy themselves a few more minutes of playing time at the World Championships.
Addison spent more than ten days in the Dream Team training camp, and Coach K would basically give him more than 10 minutes of playing time in every training match. In addition, the boy basically trains with Curry, Plumlee, and other players he is more familiar with, and most of them are projection training.
On the last day of the national team training camp, an intra-team match was held that was open to the outside world, and Coach K was very generous in giving Addison a full 15 minutes of playing time. Addison also did not fail to live up to his mission, scoring 8 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals against a group of superstars, and also held Stephen Stephen after a backdribble. Curry's defense hit a step-back jumper from the horn position, earning the court's applause.
After that, the Dream Team will begin their journey of a series of warm-up matches, and Addison is not a member of the U.S. national team, so naturally he will not be able to continue to follow him.
So the boy returned to San Francisco to spend the time at home before the start of the new season's training camp.
