"Oh, it looks like Spoelstra is real, and he doesn't plan to give up this game." O'Neill let out several exclamations in succession, "Addison and Ruhr. Deng has been on the court since the beginning of the third quarter, and it is estimated that both of them will play for a long time tonight. ”

"It's a mental tactic, Shaq, and Spoelstra won't let his players give up in the first game of the series, no matter how big the accident is. Especially away from home, they have to show their relentless momentum. Barkley grinned, as if he had understood what the Heat head coach was thinking, "It's for the opponent and for himself, if you want to use the right words...... This is a type of psychological suggestion. ”

"Is the Heat so down that they need to use mental cues to motivate themselves?" Kenny. Smith smiled and poked Barkley with his elbow, not sure if he agreed with his old partner's remarks.

"Come on, Kenny, there are some things we have to see the facts. I'll admit I love this Heat team, but even when Dwyane and Bosh were healthy, did you ever see me describe them as 'roster luxury'? Barkley slightly restrained his earlier teasing smile, "This Heat team is surprising and outstanding, with excellent players on both the starters and the bench, but their roster still can't be described as luxurious." ”

O'Neill's eyebrows furrowed upward, as he seemed very interested in the topic: "Then what kind of standard meets your definition of 'luxury', Sir Divine Pig?" ”

"Our so-called 'luxurious' squad consists of at least two or more players who are dominant and decisive and can change the balance of victory and defeat at crucial moments of the game. That's right, there must be at least two of them to live up to the title of 'luxury'. Barkley said categorically, nodding to himself, "Michael's Bulls team is luxurious, Shaq and Kobe's Lakers team is also luxurious, and the Heat team during the Big Three period is luxurious, not to mention the black and white team in the Holy City...... It looks like they're getting older every year, but they have a luxurious core every year.

"The only player on this Heat team right now who can really be called dominant and decisive is Wade, but we all know that he has started to decline due to age and injuries; Bosh has proven himself this season, but he's still a long way from dominating the division. As for Addison, he is heading in that direction, but there is still a long, long way to go.

"The Heat are strong, they're strong and resilient when they're all healthy, but they can't really be called luxurious. And now this team has lost Bosh, de, and this game has also lost the best basket protector with the board...... Do you think a team that can only be led by an off-ball attacker and a first-year rookie counts as a downfall? Have they been pushed to the point where they need to use psychological cues to boost their fighting motivation? ”

Barkley's words made many fans watching the live broadcast can't help but think along his lines, and subconsciously agree with this point of view in their hearts. The two leaders were all sidelined due to injury, the team's main center was sent off, and now the team is dominated by a rookie point guard who has been in the league for less than a season, and the Heat team has indeed been cornered.

If they don't fight here on their backs, what reason do they have to convince others that they don't want to give up? Do you believe they still have the ability and the ability to fight to the death?

"I find that I have to impress you a few times a season, Charles. Your analysis is brilliant, and it's no worse than ESPN's writers who only play with words and data. "Kenny. Smith patted Barkley on the shoulder, a look of surprise and convincing.

Barkley shrugged his shoulders and accepted the compliment from his colleague: "For Addison, he may be a heavy burden, but on the other hand, he doesn't have much to bear now." In that case, let's just let go and do it, knowing that more than 80% of miracles are born in this situation. ”

Jazz Pig's words are almost identical to what Addison said before he was pulled aside by Payton before returning to the court, and Wade's injury is certainly a major loss, but it is also an opportunity for Addison. The Chinese point guard himself also wants to see how far he can go in the face of a strong opponent if he lets go of his hands and feet to fight?

The only one in the Cavaliers duo is Kyrie. Irving was on the court, playing LeBron for almost the entire first half. James was resting on the bench at this time, and at the small forward position was the veteran Sean, who had not been given playing time before. Marion.

The basketball was transmitted several times from the outside, but still couldn't find a chance to cut into the restricted area, and finally had to return to Kyrie. Owen's hands. The Cavaliers point guard took two steps to the right with the ball, while motioning for his teammates to run and pull up the strong side to create more space for his offense.

"With LBJ out of the court, the Cavaliers lack a playmaking core that can make deep passes, but I think Kyrie. Owen has his own methods. "Kenny. Smith watched as Irving and Addison faced off on the right side of the three-point line, "using his individual ability to draw the defense in...... Irving's scoring prowess is unquestionable, and at least he has the awareness to break through the ball from the inside, which is more than enough for the Cavaliers' three-point shooters. ”

Addison cautiously observed the rhythm of his opponent's dribble back and forth, but was still forced by Irving's continuous change of direction and sudden quick turn on him to break through the defense. Killy in the box. Undaunted by Kinsa's block and Addison's heel defense, Owen jumped up with a disrupted step, lightly pulled the bar in the air to dodge the blocks in front of and behind him, and flicked the basketball to the basket with the tip of his right finger.

The basketball stumbled twice on the outside basket before crashing into the net. The goal put a lot of peace of mind to Cavaliers fans, and they immediately set the door for Kyrie. Owen gave him a round of cheers and applause.

"I now wonder if there is any active league that can completely protect Kyrie. What about the people who scored Owen? He's staggeringly powerful in terms of firepower, and the more he plays, the more terrifying he becomes. O'Neal couldn't help but shake his head in amazement, "I've seen too many good scorers and great scoring performances in the league over the years, but Irving's play will still dazzle me." ”

Irving's goal extended the gap to four points, and he has made 12 shots so far, hitting seven of them, and the attack is getting hotter. Addison's eyebrows frowned vaguely, if it were Carey. Irving scored in a row that almost ignored his defense throughout the game, and the Heat were in big trouble.

When the game is played to this point, how to put the defense aside first, if you don't want to be pulled away by the opponent, at least the offense can't be disjointed. Now that Wade is no longer on the court, the Heat can no longer afford to have someone who will save the team from fire and water with explosive scoring streaks like the 'Flashes' in key moments in the fourth quarter.

They have to bite the Cavaliers' offense right now.

***

The Cavaliers' defensive adjustments stunned Addison, who dribbled to the frontcourt, for a moment, and he saw that Kyrie, who was supposed to be defending himself at the top of the arc. Owen ran straight to the flank, ready to play against Taylor. Johnson. The person who stood in front of the Chinese point guard was replaced by Iman, who was tall and long-armed. Shambaugh was waiting with a serious expression.

"The Cleveland man changed the guard, and I have to say it was a wise decision. Carey. Irving's defense against Addison in the first half can only be described as a failure, while Iman. Shambaugh seems to be able to cause more trouble for Addison in terms of his height, reach, and physical fitness. "Kenny. Smith vs. David. Blatter agrees with the change of guard, "In Dwyan. With Wade out injured, the Heat's No. 2 position is a much less threatening position, and Irving is easier to defend as a role player than to defend Addison. ”

Apparently the Cavaliers fans at the Quick Loan Center are also with Kenny. Smith had the same idea, and their clamor grew louder, eager to see Addison being suppressed by the Shambaugh blockade, who was stronger than his height and weight.

The Chinese point guard was surprised for less than half a second, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Shambaugh's defensive pressure is much stronger than Irving's, but not to the point where Addison finds it difficult for him to deal with, and he has the confidence to tear apart the opposition's defense.

Ruhr. Deng stayed high post based on Addison's gestures, but didn't immediately mention the three-point line for cover, while the rest of the players ran to pull up space for the defense as much as possible. Addison lowered his center of gravity and dribbled the ball under his hips back and forth with the movement of his shoulders and waist.

The Chinese point guard is extremely deceptive when dribbling, especially for the use of shoulder and center of gravity shaking is one of his characteristics, many defenders will lose the ability to predict in this very deceptive shaking. Shambaught is also one of them. Addison tricked Shambaught into moving his shoulders and waist to the left side, and he subconsciously moved a step before realizing that it was just a feint, and the opponent instantly pulled back his center of gravity and hit the basketball back to the right side of his body from the front of his body.

Shambaugh quickly twisted his body to regain his lost position, while Ruhr, who had been hovering in a high position. Deng then moved forward to make a timely cover for Addison, and firmly blocked the unprepared Shambaugh.

"Damn, make up !!" Shambaugh couldn't get rid of the Englishman's entanglement for a while, and hurriedly yelled at his teammates.

Tristan. Thompson moved as fast as he could, and at the same time Shaun on the flank. Marion also let go of Ennis and turned around to block the breakthrough of the Chinese point guard. Addison's right foot took a step forward, and just as everyone thought he was going to accelerate, he took the basketball that bounced off the ground with his left hand and slammed it behind him. The basketball came back to the right side from behind, and his right hand pulled the ball wide away to the right, and his body also took a big step towards the right back.

The position between the Chinese point guard and Thompson and Marion was immediately pulled away, and he jumped up about a yard from the three-point line, and slammed the basketball out with his left hand!

Both defenders lunged forward at the same time and stretched out their arms to block, but they couldn't stop the ball from getting past their fingers and diving into the basket 20 feet away in a beautiful arc!

Addison's response was crisp and clean! He forcibly cut off the fanatical shouts of the quick loan center! Barkley made no secret of his excitement and shouted with his fist in the live broadcast seat, "Seriously, Cleveland!" This first-year doesn't want you to win at all! ”
