Chapter 104: The Turn of the Years

"My team did lose, but I don't admit I lost to you, Eddie." Carey. Owen punched Addison in the shoulder with a look of reluctance, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but also a hint of sincerity. Irving's firepower was fierce in this game, and this was on the premise of sharing the ball with James.

Addison just smiled at that and let him keep Carey down in his first season in the league. Owen, it's almost impossible. Once the Cavaliers point guard feels the touch, the best defenders in the league dare not assert that they can defend him.

On the other side, Wade and James are hugging and whispering something, and the depth of their relationship is well known to everyone under the rendering of the league, and their performance in the public eye is worthy of the league's vigorous publicity.

Many Heat fans did not leave the court immediately after the game, but stood up and applauded the home team's victory. Defeating LBJ's Cavaliers in the Christmas game means a lot to Miamians and represents a truly new chapter in their hearts.

Dwyan. Wade 20 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds. Bosh 21 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, Hassan. Whiteside 11 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks. Ann had 17 points, 12 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and Daniel was off the bench. Granger and Sean. Williams also scored in double figures...... The only starter was Ruel. Deng didn't score in a double-double, and today he gave his all on the defensive end, and it was difficult to divide too much energy on offense.

With a 107-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miamins can get a good night's sleep on Christmas night. Take James. Ennis's leading young men planned to use victory as an excuse to go out happy, and Whiteside, who had already wanted to do so, was immediately courted by them as comrades-in-arms, but Addison politely declined the invitation.

- Merry Christmas, Joe, though I have already blessed you once in the morning.

- Merry Christmas, Add, I just watched the live stream and you played great.

- Come on, after every match you're going to say I played great...... I've now taken your phrase with 'Did you have dinner?' 'It's listed as the same grade.

- But you're really good this time, even Jody said so.

- Oh, and you've invited the Lestrange family? To be honest, it seems like I haven't seen them in over a year.

- Do you remember Jodi's daughter? I've always thought that girl was interesting to you, and now she still seems to like you.

- But I don't like the freckles on her face, Daddy......

- You're asking for a lot......

- Honestly, Joe, don't you really think about finding someone who can accompany you for the rest of your life? You also know that I don't have much time to go home to you right now.

- Don't worry about me, boy, I've long been used to living alone. It's you, you're old enough to find yourself a girlfriend. Even if it's not for the purpose of getting married, it's time for you to experience what it's like to be in love.

——…… I'm going to get through this season first. If you have a girlfriend, when fate arrives, you will naturally have it.

- Boy, do you think girlfriend is a discount coupon for a fast food restaurant......?

With a 20-8 record, the Heat's record has climbed again after the Christmas game and is constantly closing the gap with the Atlanta Hawks, who are second in the East. The Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, won back-to-back home games against the Orlando Magic the next day to stabilize the sixth place in the East.

On December 26, the first day after Christmas, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of the 2015 All-Star Voting.

Although the team's record is not ideal, LeBron. James' popularity is still high, and the 552967 votes have made him the first round vote king. And Stephen, whose popularity has soared in the past two years. Curry was just behind LBJ with 549095 votes.

In third place is the New Orleans Pelicans' superpower forward Anthony. Davis, he got 524623 votes.

Bryant. Bryant came in fourth with 521542 votes, and although the leader of the Purple and Gold is still suffering from injuries, his impact on the world basketball world has not faded. As long as 'Black Mamba' is active in the league as a player, he can't be without him on the All-Star field.

In the East, there are no more players with more than 300,000 votes other than LBJ. Cameron. Anthony received 265,170 votes, followed by Paul. Gasol's 247953 ticket. Chris. Bosh moved into the second group with 208549 votes, fourth in the Eastern Forwards.

And in the guard rankings, the Wizards' star John Brown. Wall topped the East with 299209 votes, followed by Dwyane. Wade's 265917 vote. Carey. Irving's 237356 vote put him in third place at Eastern Conference guard and a bench spot.

Addison blinked in surprise when he saw his name also appear on the list.

Edison.Ann(MIA),235729…… His votes are almost as good as those of Carey. Owen walked side by side, and there was a possibility of overtaking the other at any time......

- It's amazing, could it be that I really have more than 200,000 fans around the world who are willing to vote for me?!

He didn't know how the media would report on it now, whether it would praise him or be mean and sarcastic. Although Addison did not evaluate himself in the unexpected world in the past, as a young man who longed for honor in his heart, he was still quite concerned about the representative prosperity of All-Star.

Lin Xiaoxiao specially sent a message, saying that he voted for him, and asked his family and friends to vote for him...... The girl's tone was arrogant and joyful to ask Addison to praise herself, and that delicate and lovely appearance made the Chinese point guard quite speechless.

Should he thank Lin Xiaoxiao for his support? Or should you dissuade the other party from canvassing for yourself in this way?

No matter what he thinks, agent Sam anyway. Bernie is ecstatic about Addison's votes, and with the current momentum, Addison's selection to this year's All-Star team is almost a foregone conclusion. Even if they were selected as substitutes, how many players have been selected as All-Stars in their rookie seasons throughout the history of the league?!

This will definitely be a huge increase in Addison's business value!

However, Addison's good fortune didn't help the team much, and a day later they lost 98-101 at home to the Memphis Grizzlies, who came to get revenge.

Mark. Gasol and Zach. Randolph's interior duo had a slight upper hand in the battle with the Heat's interior line, and the 'Black and White Bears' gradually found some ways to deal with a young and energetic center like Whiteside who likes to jump up through the experience of the last game.

And Tony. Allen made Wade's offensive threat as much as possible during the game, and 'The Flash' didn't play as well as he should.

The Heat, who lost to their opponents, vented their anger on the Orlando Magic, who visited the Magic two days later, and the Magic, who were still rebuilding, could not withstand the Miamis' ferocious counterattack and lost in less than three quarters. Nikolai of the technology stream. Vucevic may only be aggrieved when he encounters the unreasonable Whiteside, who was stunned by the Heat center's three big hat blocks, and only scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 turnovers on 6-of-17 shooting.

Addison was working with Elfried. Payton had the upper hand in the contest, with 14 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, leaving the Magic's 'explosive head' point guard in a state of disgrace.

***

After the win over the Magic, the Heat will have a two-day vacation to spend the last day of 2014 and start the new year with peace of mind.

It's hard to experience the wonderful feeling of the beginning of the new year in Miami, a city with warm seasons......

Addison didn't use the two-day vacation to return to Auckland to spend the New Year with Joe, he just chatted with his dad on his phone and bought a cosy and warm scarf as a gift to send over.

Whiteside doesn't plan to go back to his hometown for the New Year, his hometown is in North Carolina, and even flying is a waste of time.

The two young men spent their years in Addison's house, playing on the electric line, eating a greasy meal that the dietitian usually does not allow them to eat, and watching the video of the game...... 2015 came into their lives in this kind of almost lazy consumption.

In the new year, the Heat's first game will be in the spotlight, and they will travel to the space city of Houston to take on the Houston Rockets, who have lost before.

One of the most sumptuous appetizers of the NBA New Year, the game was broadcast live across the United States by ESPN.

The Houstonians booed and denigrated the Heat not as wildly as Addison had imagined, and in many ways, the fans at the Aerospace City were the quintessential of the moderate among fans across the country.

Perhaps Olajuwon and the Rockets fans of Yao Mai's era are still fanatical, but since the collapse of the Red team in that memory, Houstonians' enthusiasm for the NBA seems to have dimmed.

When the team wins, they cheer; But the team suffered a heavy defeat, and they didn't show too much frustration, and there were even a lot of people who ate popcorn and watched it with relish...... Perhaps only New York Knicks fans are more relaxed when it comes to paranoia about their team's wins and losses......

The Heat lost to the Rockets in their last game, and their interior was defeated by Dwight. Howard was so suppressed that he was out of breath for a while, and the defense in the penalty area collapsed.

But this time, the Heat gave their opponents a very different feel, starting with the opening jump shot.

Even with old injuries, Howard is still very confident in his physical skills, who would have thought that he would lose the jump ball to the young center opposite who has only recently begun to emerge!

Whiteside grabbed the basketball with a longer reach, and Addison just followed when he met Patrick. Beverley's tight defense. Beverley also didn't give up on the center grab, that is, he blocked Addison from launching a fast attack.

The corners of the Chinese rookie's mouth were slightly hooked upward, and in the previous game against the Rockets, he was very out of shape by this 'mad dog'. After more than two dozen games, Addison was eager to see what difference he would make this time.
