Chapter 267: Changing the Tone

"Hubby, what do you think of this game? I'm sure the process and outcome of the game was unexpected by a lot of people, especially the Cavaliers supporters. Drexler asked Hubi after the whistle blew at the end of the game. Brown, "The Cavaliers, who had dominated the first two games, were the undisputed oppressed in this game, unable to make a significant counterattack from the beginning to the end. Truth be told, if it weren't for the last moment Carey. Irving's big heart performance, I thought the Cavaliers were willing to be dealt with by their opponents tonight. ”

"What do I think of this game...... I would say that this is a well-deserved victory for the Heat, who are better than the Cavaliers in terms of roster adjustments, tactical set-ups, and desire to win, and it is a complete victory. "Hubby. Brown habitually pushed his glasses, "The return of Whiteside has allowed the Heat to pick up excellent box defense again, and Tristan. Thompson's return to the starting lineup has left the Cavaliers in a dilemma...... It's a dramatic comparison, and if the Heat don't have a powerhouse center like Whiteside and a Luhr team. With a swinging forward like Deng in the third or fourth position, maybe Thompson can do well on the defensive end tonight. Spoelstra's lineup just restrained the Cavaliers' contradictions. Blatter will definitely have a headache with Thompson after this game, especially in a playoff game where both offense and defense are reluctant to give up. ”

"The Miamins' biggest strength is that they regained their trademark pick-and-roll offense and counter-attack, and they were finally able to force the Cleveland to make mistakes on the defensive end. Looking at Addison's stats tonight, 27 points, 14 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, it proves that his connection with the whole team has not been severed at all. Addison, who can play the ball freely, is an absolute master offensive leader who can ensure the team's lethality on the offensive end. "Bill. Wharton summed it up, "I think the next time is going to be in the hands of ESPN's on-the-spot reporters, and maybe they'll dig up more news in the post-game press conference. ”

As noted by Bill. Walton said that from the statistical point of view, Addison is definitely the biggest contributor to the Heat's complete victory tonight, and the playoff data of 27+14+4+2 is undoubtedly a huge achievement for a rookie who has just entered the league in his first season. So after the game, the Miami fans also dedicated the warmest applause and cheers to the Chinese American point guard, and now Addison is no longer a rookie who was a little shy and helpless in front of the fans at the beginning of the season, and he came to the audience to thank all the Heat fans. Before Wade's injury, the Heat did so whenever the team scored a major win at home. Addison felt that he should also continue the tradition in the absence of Wade, so he naturally stepped up.

It all happened naturally, both in the Ruhr. The veterans such as Deng and Granger, or the uniform team led by Spoelstra, did not feel that it was inappropriate, and it seemed that Addison should do it instead of Wade. After all, whether it is in terms of court performance or team status, Addison is the best choice as the representative of this Heat team.

"You've only won one game, you pretentious guy...... "Carey. Irving jokingly hugged Addison, and the two three-pointers from the Cavaliers point guard in the final stages of the game couldn't hide the fact that he was sluggish, but Irving would never show weakness in front of his opponents, "I'll beat you again in two days, wait and see, I will do what I say." ”

“…… It's exciting. Addison's unhurried response gave Owen a sense of powerlessness as his fist hit the cotton, and the young man who had broken free from aphasia used words to show the cunning of his thinking. He smiled and patted Owen on the shoulder, anyway, he won this game, and he also had the upper hand in the individual position, he could say anything.

But when Addison was in front of the players' tunnel by ESPN reporter Doris. When Burke caught him, he was really helpless. In the past, Wade did this kind of thing, and Addison was willing to take responsibility for the cheers of the fans, but he really didn't want to take on the task of being targeted by media reporters. What's more, this time ESPN dispatched Doris. Burke, a great reporter with a vicious eye, immediately shifted her focus to Addison after interviewing Spoelstra.

"Tonight was a beautiful win for you, Addison, how would you rate your performance? And the performance of the whole team? The young Chinese who was just about to slip away was quickly caught by the reporter, and the microphone was stuffed into his mouth without saying anything. Addison felt a snack in his heart, but he had to stop and think for a few seconds.

"We played our style today, pick-and-roll, defending, counter-attacking...... You know, we had a clear tactic and played our rhythm at home. My team-mates played really well and they created the best environment for me to execute my tactics. Addison didn't even realize that as he spoke more and more, the staccato and jerkiness in his words became less and less severe. He is now speaking much more smoothly than he was two days ago, and if he doesn't discern carefully, I'm afraid it's hard to find out that he was still suffering from aphasia 48 hours ago.

"What about yourself? You watched a big double-double of 27 points and 14 assists today, do you think you were the biggest contributor to the team's victory? "Doris. Burke continued to ask.

"Ell, if I deny it in terms of the data, you must think I'm being a hypocrisy, don't you? I wouldn't admit that I played well tonight, but it's a credit to the whole team and I wouldn't have been able to do that without my team-mates and my coach. Addison's answer surprised the reporter a little, she didn't expect that the young man's words could blend confidence and tactfulness so well. Didn't you say that this Chinese American hadn't been interviewed by the media? Could it be that the Heat's PR team specially taught him before the game?

"After the first two games, there were a lot of people who claimed that your team had lost confidence and the belief to move forward, what do you think about that?" Doris. Burke decided to come up with really difficult questions to test the thinking skills of the Chinese rookie.

Addison just smiled noncommittally: "First of all, the Heat is not my team, it's Dwyan's team. As for what you said about us losing confidence, tonight's game is my best answer...... Seeing is believing, and now do you see any loss of faith in our actions? ”

Doris. Burke, on the other hand, was a little speechless by the other party's answer, and she had to smile officially: "Well, this is the most powerful answer I have ever heard." Congratulations on winning tonight's game, Addison. ”

"Thank you."

***

After the game, Addison went to a steakhouse recommended to him by the team's nutritionist and treated himself to a late-night snack. Yes, he just went alone, he didn't call his teammates, and he didn't call Kyrie, who had a good relationship. Irving. Addison was used to being alone after the race, for no other reason than because he liked the calm and calm atmosphere after the intense competition.

His phone was filled with text messages from his friends congratulating him on his team's victory, to which Addison replied one by one. There are no group replies, but after reading them one by one, they reply one by one. He has always been very serious about this kind of thing, maybe he is not a very good person to express feelings, but he will definitely take everyone he thinks is worth dating, friends, relatives or future lovers......

"We won one, Dwyan." Addison didn't forget to call Wade, who was still recovering from his injuries, "The guys all said this victory was for you, and this is the best gift for your visit. ”

"Then I'll happily accept it, and I'm sure you'll give me a few more gifts like this...... Work hard, Add, if you give me a gift like the Eastern Conference Finals, maybe I'll be excited enough to remove my armor and get back on the court. ”

"Are you sure that then Yunyon won't rush into the stadium and fight us? It's better to heal the wound honestly, boss, we will do our best to fight for the gift you want. I love seeing the upset on the faces of Clevelands, and for me it's a great thrill. Addison teasingly ended the call, as the weather in Miami in May was already muggy, and the moist and fresh sea breeze on the south coast could not take away the heat from the air. Young Chinese who have had a supper just want to lie down in bed at home early and have a good rest, without being disturbed by everything from the outside world.

The Miami Heat's home win over the Cleveland Cavaliers was a 10-point deficit that surprised almost all of the United States except the Miamins. After all, the Cavaliers already have a 2-0 lead, and whoever looks at them has the upper hand over the Heat on the lineup, without Dwyan. Wade and Chris. Bosh, the Heat, with a rookie at the core, was able to handle the Cavaliers, even those who watched the whole game would still be amazed at it.

Addison's big double-double of 27 points, 14 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals has also received strong attention from all over the United States, and with the strong performance of Chinese point guards in the playoffs one after another, many people have begun to change their previous perception that he is just a traditional point guard; Addison is declaring by his actions that he has gradually become a leader in Isaiah. Thomas, Chris. Paul, an all-around point guard who can dominate on both ends of the floor, has come close and has developed his own style. Carey. Irving's measly 6-of-17 shooting percentage in this game is a testament to Addison's defensive ability, and the Cavaliers point guard is a top scorer in the league who can kill anyone in the field.

At a time when everyone was no longer optimistic about the Heat's qualification, the Miamins responded to the doubts and pessimism that the world had given them with their actions. Perhaps what we should be talking about now is not whether the Cavaliers will end the series with a few wins, but whether the Heat will pull the Clevelanders down from the top and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals with their magical comeback......"
