Addison's masochistic training this summer has been remarkable, with his jumper shot near the two horns already accurate, and his three-point shot at the top of the arc that he has been working on and would love to try it out in the game.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Spoelstra on the sidelines, of course the head coach understood what the boy meant, he shook his head gently and quietly, signaling Addison to bear with it a little longer, and try not to expose the fact that his shooting percentage has increased significantly in the preseason.

The boy exhaled in frustration and raised his hand to signal Bosh to cover for Williams and Ruhl. Deng strengthens the air cut run. The 'Dragon King' came up to cover, Addison moved to the right with the ball, and the Cavaliers did not change the defense, but let Irving go around Bosh to chase the Chinese boys.

This time Sean. Williams to Ruhr. Deng made an empty-handed cover, and after the British ran to the right three-point line, he also moved to the other side of the three-point line, and the original joint defensive position of Thompson and James on the inside was disrupted by the blocking and running of these two people, and they were afraid of Williams and Deng's three-point shooting ability, so they had to switch positions to follow the defense, and the space on the inside line was suddenly widened.

Addison directly faced Irving on the right wing, and the corners of the boy's mouth curled, can't he break through if he doesn't allow shooting? ? At this time, the Cavaliers' shrinking defense was emptied a lot by the running of the Heat players, and he had room to break through.

Addison slapped the ball hard with his right hand, the ball struck under his crotch and bounced back into his right hand from behind, and the boy's right foot took a step forward to the side. Owen was deceived by the boy's shoulders and feet, and his body stepped back half a step to his left side.

"Bang!!" It was the sound of the ball hitting the ground again, and Addison pulled back his center of gravity at the moment of Owen's movement, making a large forward change and accelerating backwards from the opponent's right side to the inside line. His explosiveness and confrontation ability are a notch higher than Irving's, so he easily erases opponents who are out of position defensively.

The boy didn't take many steps, jumped three paces from the reasonable collision zone, and with his excellent bounce height and air time, he glided to the basket and sent the ball into the net.

Kevin. Lefu was pulled to a high position by Bosh, and he wanted to defend himself, but his pace was too slow, and he couldn't catch up with Addison, who was 'floating'. Thompson, on the other hand, stared at Williams on the left side of the three-point line and only turned back after Addison finished hitting the basket.

James on the other side was very helpless, and the joint defensive position just now was actually messed up by the opponent's cross run, which made him soberly realize that the tacit understanding between the whole team has not yet been established, and there are still too many holes in their defense to be filled.

Spoelstra pinched his chin when he saw this, and then turned to Andre on the bench. Dawkins said: "Get ready to play, Andre, run, we need your projection. ”

The Filipino is ready to replace Wade, and since the 'Flash' has decided not to play a major role in the preseason, then give the new players more opportunities to join the team, Dawkins is Addison's teammate in college, and the two of them should have a good tacit understanding.

The Cavaliers are prepared to use a contraction defense against them, and the best way to crack that defense is to shoot three-point shots, and Dawkins has a strong 12-of-20 three-point shooting in this year's summer league, and the reason why the uniform is willing to give him a contract is to deal with this situation.

***

Eight minutes into the first quarter, Andre Anderson was playing eight minutes into the game. Dawkins replaces Wade, while Daniel Browns replaces Wade. Granger also replaces Ruhr. Deng, the Heat have changed to the bench lineup one after another.

Addison continued to stay on the court, and Spoelstra wanted the boys to play the full first quarter and improve their integration into the team, but of course the decision made Norris off the bench. Cole was dissatisfied.

Sure enough, Dawkins immediately showed a tacit understanding with Addison's partner after coming on the court, and the Duke guard got an open space at 60 degrees from the left three-point line with a reverse run after cutting into the restricted area, and Addison at the top of the arc passed the ball without hesitation.

Unfortunately, Dawkins has not fully adapted to the difference between the NBA and the college league, and his open three-pointer bounced off the basket, which surprised the Cavaliers head coach. This undrafted guard not only runs fast, but also shoots quickly, coupled with the tacit understanding between him and the main point guard, no matter how you look at it, you can't underestimate it.

With Dawkins' strength, he can become the main scoring guard at Duke University this year, but he missed half a season due to injury, so he can only be Corey. Pets's understudy.

The Heat's on-court lineup includes the addition of backup center Chris. Anderson had the ability to shoot three-pointers all of them, and under Addison's organization, their hands gradually warmed up, and after Granger and Williams each hit three-pointers, the Cavaliers' shrinking defense finally couldn't hold on, and decisively expanded the defensive range.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the Cavaliers by four points at 25-21, and although Addison only scored two points, he dished out eight assists and only one turnover.

Addison didn't come back on the court until the seventh minute of the second quarter, only to sit on the bench again after halftime and never play again. The Heat's main lineup basically played only half of the game, and Spoelstra sent all the rotations on the court in the second half to let them play to their heart's content.

Pre-season is supposed to be a game where the uniforms look at the abilities of the non-guaranteed players and decide who stays and who leaves, and the main players have been looking for the last 20 minutes or so. This time, Spoelstra played with all the main forces, and he also played with the opponent with real guns, and the good ball in the half was already for Adam. Xiao Hua's 'global strategy' has face.

David. Blatter had this in mind, so the second half completely turned into a stage for the two teams to rotate players to score, and finally the Heat's young bench defeated the Cavaliers' slightly aging second echelon to get the first preseason win 127-115.

Yes, in the second half, both sides were completely defenseless, and one after another players with non-guaranteed contracts were still planning to score as much as they wanted to show themselves, who cares about defense......

Addison played 17 minutes in this game, with 6 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers on 2-of-5 shooting, and he was able to get double-double assists in less than 20 minutes, which really surprised the media.

But one of the boy's shortcomings in the game was caught by the media — he didn't shoot, he hadn't seen him shoot from 15 feet in two straight games, and he didn't dare to shoot a long-range jumper even if the opponent was defending with a tight defense. If it weren't for teammates who had good three-point shooting ability on the court, and the Cavaliers' defensive system was not solid in this game, Addison would never have played so actively.

It seems that Addison still hasn't fixed the flaws he had in college, and his shooting is still extremely unstable, and he doesn't even dare to use it in official games......

A point guard with the ability to shoot can play a much bigger role than a point guard who can't shoot, like Chris. Paul is definitely more able to attract more defensive attention than Rajan after blocking and pick-and-roll. Rondo or Ricky. Rubio, because Paul can shoot and is good at mid-to-long-range shooting.

"Addison has a lot of potential to tap into, but if he can't make a difference in his projection, then the rookie will probably be in an awkward position in the regular season."

The media made this assessment of the performance of this year's No. 8 rookie.
