Addison didn't keep the basketball in control, and under his command Bosh came up to make a cover, and he immediately turned the ball towards Ruhr, who was receiving from the wing. Deng passed over, and at the same time stepped empty-handed and completed the cross run with the British. Ruhr. Deng moved to the top of the arc and handed the basketball back to Addison, at which point guard became LeBron who had to switch defenses on the right wing with the ball. James.

"Oh, what a rare counterpoint! Addison and LeBron didn't go head-to-head a few times in the whole game, and now Addison took the initiative to find LBJ through a cover run! You must know that the defensive ability of the No. 23 on the opposite side is not bad at all! Kevin. Harlan was puzzled by Addison's intention to take the initiative to find an opportunity against James, but he found a six-time All-Defensive Team selection, not a player with strong offense and weak defense.

"Do you want me to say, Kevin, maybe LeBron from Addison's point of view. James is a bit simpler than playing against Dellavedova. "Reggie. Miller knew exactly what Addison was thinking, and said calmly, "It's true that LBJ is a very good defender, but what he's good at is defending the wings and active interior defense. Slow lateral movement has always been a weakness on the defensive end, and dealing with a small player like Addison's speed and agility is not his forte. ”

"That's right, I remember Charles was particularly disliked by the 'Smiling Assassin' or Kevin at that time. A player like Johnson switched positions against him because he couldn't stop the back-to-back singles of such a small guard. "Kenny. Smith snapped his fingers as if he suddenly remembered, causing the face of his old partner next to him to immediately darken.

"It's not something I can control, guys, I had a full 115 kilograms! At this tonnage, I can't move laterally better than those little people with a light body! I'd rather keep an eye on Shaq or Hakim than have Isaiah find a chance to single me! Barkley loudly protested against the direction of the conversation among several colleagues, in fact, the 'Pig Jazz' defensive blocking ability was very good in his prime, but the huge tonnage and size doomed him to suffer when defending small man alone.

On the court, Addison faced LeBron, who was waiting for him. James began to speed up the speed and rhythm of his dribbling, which made Kyrie, who was sitting in the VIP seat in a suit and leather shoes. Irving couldn't help but have itchy hands when he saw it, he had been away from the court for so long that he couldn't help but blush when he saw Addison, who is also a point guard, swinging freely on the court.

However, the Cavaliers fans at the Quick Loan Center didn't think so, they only felt a strong anger and malice, and Addison's initiative to find LBJ was a manifestation of their incompetence.

"Stare at him, LeBron! Stare at him!! ”

"You're going to regret your choice, yellow boy!!"

"You're as despicable as a monkey in a circus, idiot!!"

……

The influx of swearing and insults didn't dampen Addison's focus in the slightest, nor did it allow LBJ's defense to relax. James stretched out his arms and kept his stance and footwork as fast as he could. He knew that Addison was targeting his weakness of relatively slow lateral movement, but LBJ was still a little annoyed from the bottom of his heart. Paul or Westbrook volunteered to play singles, he probably wouldn't feel anything, but a sophomore......

"This doesn't seem like the first time you've challenged my dignity, second grade." James said in a low voice, still unable to hide the frustration in his emotions, "I can understand the character of young players who are willing to take on challenges, but my dignity is not something that anyone can offend. ”

"Isn't dignity meant to be challenged? On the court...... Addison wasn't bluffed at all, he knew that LBJ's apparent annoyance was actually fighting psychological warfare with him, but this level of psychological demonstration didn't mean anything to him. He didn't break down when he was 12 years old when he was threatened with a gun by a black bastard in Harlem, and now it's a pediatric thing on the court, "You don't think everyone in the league wants to hold your crown instead of taking it off, do you?" ”

The Chinese point guard's dribbling became more and more rhythmic with the words, and James did not dare to press in this situation, so he could only reserve half a body distance and prepare to improvise. Addison's shoulders shook again, and then his right hand quickly pulled the basketball to the right, while his right foot took a swift step to the same side.

LBJ's reaction was not unpleasant, following Addison's lateral movement while leaving a cushion to prevent the opponent from forcing a breakthrough from the outside. But Addison had no intention of facing James, who had both power and explosiveness, to break through the inside, and he wanted to take advantage of the opponent's lack of lateral movement. So the right hand that pulled the ball lightly slapped the basketball from the front of the body back to the left side of the body in the next moment, and the center of gravity quickly pulled back to follow up, and at the moment when James was not able to move back, the left hand pulled the ball and took a step back to the side and back, and opened up a larger space with the opponent.

"One step up and down from the three-point line! Bingo！！！ Wow, LBJ's slow block didn't stop Addison from hitting the long-range two-pointer!! "Kenny. Smith raised his voice excitedly, "Addison has scored 27 points in this game, and oh my god, he's the central man for the Cavaliers' defense in this game!! ”

"It's like the Miami people are focusing on LeBron. Like James, I think the Cavaliers don't want to admit it, but it's not Dwyane or Bosh anymore, it's Addison, a sophomore who just turned 20. "Reggie. Miller gave Addison full praise for his outstanding performance, "Addison has proven to be a big heart player with absolute resistance to pressure, from last season's playoffs to today's game, he has faced the opponent's toughest defense, but he has played a great game. ”

"I just wonder if tonight will be the first 30+ night of Addison's new season? He is now 10-of-16 shooting, and it can be seen that Wade and Bosh are creating space for him in the second half, and he is very hopeful of scoring more than 30 tonight, and even get a big double-double of 30+10!! "Charles. Barkley's exclamation made all Cavaliers fans focus on the data of Addison displayed on the big screen, they didn't expect that the Chinese point guard whom they named very hostile had actually cut 27 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, and ranked first in the team in scoring and assists.

With just four minutes left before the end of the game, the home team is six points behind and the opposition core players are still in hot form...... Many Cavaliers fans are already feeling the despair of being in a dead end. They've seen a lot of games between their home team and the Heat, and they know their opponents as well as they are hostile — the Heat aren't a team that is used to dropping chains at the last minute, on the contrary, the Miamins are getting more lethal the more they get to the final quarter, and Addison's explosive fourth-quarter performances in last season's playoffs have already cast a psychological shadow on the Clevelands.

***

LeBron. Naturally, James was reluctant to swallow a defeat at home, and he first faced Ruhr in the final moments. Deng's defense hit a three-pointer, and then he came back from the wing to force a basket in the three-second zone and draw Whiteside for his fourth foul of the game. But the Heat also didn't intend to give away the victory that was about to come, and Dwyan, who didn't play much in the entire second half. Wade struggled to find an opportunity to cut to the basket when LBJ narrowed the gap to just one point, and after receiving Addison's pass, he made a layup to stabilize the army's morale; Turn around Chris. Bosh abruptly cut off James to Tristan on the inside. Thompson's ball, Addison dribbled to the front court and waited until there were about 6 seconds left in the offensive time, he used Bosh's cover to move two steps sideways, and directly pulled up and jumped in the area on the right side of the three-point line!

Kevin. Lefou's panicked block Addison didn't pay attention to it at all, and his shooting hand has undergone a slight change of training this summer, and his shooting speed is faster than before. This time, his feelings and consciousness still lived up to him, and the basketball spun and swiped into the net, once again slamming the noisy quick loan center to silence.

This time the whole stadium really fell silent, and the stunned Cleveland people even forgot to boo the Chinese point guard who was hostile to them, and the ups and downs of the plot made it difficult for them to react, and the only thing they could feel was that their hearts sank to the bottom.

"How many three-pointers did Addison shoot in this game? Four times? This is probably the most shot he has in the regular season, right? Barkley couldn't help but look at the replay on the big screen with some surprise and said, "At least this kid is shooting more from 21 feet out than he did last season, and he shot well today, shooting 2 of 4 three-pointers!" ”

"That's the self-confidence, and last season's playoffs have instilled a strong and unwavering confidence in Addison, who already believes he's capable of being the kind of player who can decide the game. So you can see that although he still doesn't shoot many three-pointers now, he is very resolute in every shot, and this resoluteness will also relatively improve his shooting percentage. "Reggie. Miller explained earnestly, trying to hide the pleasant smile on his lips but without success. As a pure 'Amy', the better Addison plays, the happier he will be.

"Let's throw away all the old judging criteria, and I'll just ask, Reggie...... Do you think Addison has become a part of the level that can influence the entire league? Kevin, who captured this smile. Harlan asked bluntly, he was not a professional footballer, and he had no qualms about asking the question.

Reggie. Miller smiled no longer as he spread his hands, "You know what, Kevin? Now the question should be – how many people still think Addison isn't? ”

A minute later, with LeBron. James missed the basket one last time with a big three-pointer from 25 feet out, and the full-game electronic sound rang loudly. The Heat defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 102-97 on the road, although it was a team that lacked Kyrie. Irving's Cavaliers.

Addison played 36 minutes in this game, scoring 32 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals on 12-of-19 shooting, and was voted the best player of the night with his game-high scoring and assist statistics. His strong performance overshadowed the Cavaliers' two point guards by comparison. Williams had just six points and three assists on 2-of-10 shooting and no rebounds. Dellavedova had three points, five rebounds and one assist on 1-of-5 shooting and drew three fouls while defending Addison.

"Our No. 1 position has been completely blown out by our opponents, and there is no excuse to hide this sad truth!" After the game, a member of the Cavaliers' uniform team said with a look of embarrassment in an interview.
