"Hey, you kid, when you said you were going to buy drinks, you bought us 6 bottles of Gatorade?!" Jersey. Granger took the sports drink that Addison threw him with a look of disbelief, not knowing what kind of expression he should put on, "What kind of sports drink do you drink when you're not competing?!" Are you so deficient in vitamins and taurine? ”

"What's the complaint, muscular man, can you find a healthier vending drink than this?" Addison unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a big sip, "I'm thinking about your health in line with the athlete's lifestyle, and Gatorade is sweet anyway, isn't bitter chrysanthemum juice more to your liking?" ”

Granger had a big wrinkled face but couldn't find the words to refute it, and Addison, who had recovered his language, was simply superior in this regard. Don't look at the way he usually puts on a gentle face and smiles at others, but when his lips and tongue are sharp, he is not ordinarily powerful, and all kinds of sword and sideways remarks seem to be strong words but prefer to be like it, and it is a little difficult to refute.

- The combination of this guy's personality and this mouth is too abnormal, too abnormal...... Something must have gone wrong......

Jessica, who was sitting in the back row, squinted her eyes and looked Krystal up and down when she saw her sister returning, trying to see something in the girl who looked as transparent as her name, but Krystal seemed to be enlightened when she was buying a drink, and put on a 'smirk' appearance so that Jessica couldn't see any clues.

"You girl didn't talk nonsense to Addison......

"Huh...... What nonsense can I talk about, it's just to go buy a drink. Don't you believe me? "Krystal's face shape is actually very good for playing innocent, especially when the eyes are wide open. Although the figure-of-eight lines are not as obvious as Jessica's when she purses her mouth, they are not invisible, but they always work wonders when she pretends to be innocent.

Jessica wrinkled her nose at her sister, a common gesture for the two sisters when they were speechless.

"Then again, what do you think of David. What tactical changes will both Blatter and Coach Kerr make? At least Blatter will definitely have to make adjustments, and the momentum of the Warriors' comeback in the second quarter is too obvious. Granger turned the conversation back to the game, "But you like Drummond. Green doesn't play well under the Cavaliers' interior encirclement, are you sure that guy is a kind of model for the No. 4 position in the new era? ”

Addison puffed out his mouth and looked at the player stats displayed on the big screen on the pitch: "Drummond. Do you still have an impression of Green's first-half stats? ”

"Of course, I've always remembered that." Granger swore with certainty, "...... He finished with five points, three rebounds, three assists and two fouls on 2-of-6 shooting. And he was in Tristan. Thompson has already grabbed eight rebounds over his head, including three in the frontcourt. ”

“No，No，No…… Dude, since we're going to talk about Drummond. Green, then throw away the so-called court alignment theory. Although this guy plays as a power forward for the Warriors, he actually has no fixed opponent, which is the most important reason why he can be promoted by Coach Kerr to the team's defensive core. ”

Jersey. Granger was a little confused by his friend's words, and after two seconds of froze, he repeated inexplicably: "No... There is no fixed match...... What is the meaning? ”

Addison glanced at Granger before smiling and putting his hand on the other's shoulder, "Don't be stupid, man, it's perfectly feasible to bring your theories on the football field to the basketball court." If I had a young forward who was 6'8" tall and had excellent tonnage, reach, and physical flexibility, who could defend a 7-foot center in the low post and a three-point line in the high post, I would develop him as the heart of the defense. First half Drummond. Green has played against almost all of the Cavaliers' players, Mozgov's low-post offense is his defense, LBJ's offense in the paint is also defended by him, and he even defends Kyrie several times. Owen or JR take an outside shot after a pick-and-roll...... Look at the offensive efficiency on the big screen, LeBron. James shot 8-of-18 and Mozgov made 2-of-6. ”

When it comes to things on the court, Addison is no longer the quiet and easy-going person he used to be, and his analysis is sharper and more precise from the perspective of a person on the sidelines than on the court. Speaking from the heart, Addison was very interested in Drummond. Some of Green's on-court behavior and style are not very appreciative, but that doesn't stop him from valuing the role and contribution of the opposition on both ends of the floor. This season Steve. Cole dared to put David in his prime. Lee dropped the bench and promoted Green as a starter as an absolute mainstay, proving that this strong, thick second-round pick has immeasurable potential and talent on the inside.

"Not to mention Drummond. Green isn't a pure blue-collar without offensive ability, he can shoot beyond the three-point line, can finish the air cut well, and even has a high-post playmaking ability that more than 80% of the league's interior players don't have. Addison continued, pointing to the big screen above the court, "Remember how many assists he provided in the first half?" ”

Granger was stunned, as if he was a little unsure: "I remember it...... Three times? ”

"That's right, 3 assists, tied with Curry for the most on the team. And it's rare to have that kind of simple outward distribution, it's all penetrating balls that come out of the high post. Addison pursed his lower lip in disbelief and nodded his head and sighed, "All in all, Drummond. Green is not and cannot be LBJ or Charles. A genius like Barkley, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to the second round to be drafted. But he does have great talent and ability, and when integrated into the system that suits him, he can do amazing things...... And this Warriors team is undoubtedly the most suitable team for him. ”

After making the evaluation, Eddie exhaled a long breath, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't know whether he was satisfied with the Warriors' use of Green, or the precise understanding he made. There was a brief blank silence around him, which made Addison wake up from his self-satisfaction and couldn't help but look sideways. Only to find Granger, Clyz, Joe, and even Jessica and Krystal behind him all looking at him with an unspoken look, he grinned in embarrassment, and had to return his gaze to the empty court.

"Oh...... Addison, you're a better kid than a player! Doesn't Spoelstra feel the pressure because of you when you're playing? "Jersey. Granger couldn't help but pat Addison's back with his wide palm in surprise, "No wonder you're a point guard, don't tell you that when you usually play, you're still analyzing the characteristics of each player in your head?!" ”

The corners of the young Chinese's mouth curled up in a more sleek arc, and his head was tilted back 45 degrees, imitating the free and easy expression of the protagonist in the anime who was about to open the protagonist's aura-

"Of course, if you don't do that, how can you be a point guard......"

***

The second half of the game went exactly as Addison had expected. Blatter started the idea of an eight-man rotation, and there were only JR. Smith and James in the bench lineup. Jones and Matthew. Dellavedova was given playing time, and the trio shared the opportunity to play in the second half with the starting five.

That's the way to do it, David. Although Blatter is a coach who is not very subtle when using the bench lineup, he was forced to use the eight-man rotation mainly because the Cavaliers' rotation level is too poor. The only substitutes who can really compete in the Finals are JR. Smith and Matthew Dellavedova, and James Jones is only used because Blatter has to give the main players in the third and fourth positions a certain amount of rest.

Assembling a Big Three roster at the start of the season took so much salary space into the Cavaliers that they looked constrained when it came to signing role players, even causing LeBron. James has a certain contradiction with the team's management (but to be honest, this lineup is basically LBJ leading the trade from conception to decision-making to implementation. During the Griffin period, the world knew who was the general manager of the Cavaliers...... ）。 Although Kevin. Love's injury withdrawal early in the playoffs greatly reduced the Cavaliers' ability to open up space, but the explosive duo of James and Irving still brought the team to the Finals...... But in the final series, facing the Golden State Warriors, who were all strong characters from the main force to the bench, the Clevelands' weak rotation was infinitely magnified, so that their advantage in the first quarter was quickly eroded and swallowed. David. Blatter had to play with an eight-man rotation, and despite the meagre rest that the main players could get in the game, they had to and did have to stick with it for the sake of victory and championship glory.

"8-man rotation...... It can be that it is a pity for David. Blatter wasn't smart enough......" Addison suddenly sighed as he watched the increasingly heated confrontation in the arena. In the series against the Cavaliers, he felt that Coach Blatter was indeed a good court-court tactician, but he didn't seem to be very good at using substitutes, especially under NBA rules.

"What's wrong?" Jersey. Granger hurriedly asked, he was now very convinced by Addison's analysis of the court.

"Since it's an eight-man rotation, I should let Matthew more. Dellavedova played, BJ's type of falling and hitting will not have any problem even if he plays for 40 minutes, but Kyrie. Owen is playing with an injury, and the injured part is still the most important knee, and if he plays more than 40 minutes in a game, the chance of the injury getting worse will seriously increase......

Carey. Irving was already frowning halfway through the third quarter, and it was obvious that he was already feeling discomfort when he rubbed his knee wrapped in a thick knee pad. But in the finals, he really didn't want to retire with an injury, after all, his knee was not uncomfortable enough to be unable to play, and David on the sidelines. Blatter had no intention of changing him, and Irving's professional attitude did not allow him to apply for a substitute for him.

In the third quarter, the two teams played 22-25, and the score was tied at 73-73, and the two teams seemed to be evenly matched.

"Be careful, Mr. Granger, you're going to invite me to dinner in the evening...... but at this time, Addison poked his friend next to him with his elbow with a smile, and said with a look of certainty, "The Warriors have won this game, and the difference is unlikely to widen to more than 10 points." ”
