The referee's shrill whistle sounded, and Philip. Sanders called a timeout, frowning and glancing at the score on the big screen above. The 11:2 number stung his retina, and Sanders picked up the tactical board, but for a moment he hesitated.

“…… Put the ball in Nikolai's hands and try to get him a chance to play Bosh alone. Sanders tapped hard at the center of Montenegro, "The biggest weakness in the opponent's defense is on the inside, and Bosh can't defend the inside with tonnage." If they choose to pack, then try to give Kevin as much of the offense as possible, you know? ”

The head coach of the Timberwolves wants to use Pekovic to contain the Miami defense, and he has a lot of offensive players in his starting lineup. Yang and Kevin. Both Martin can provide consistent output, and Wiggins and LaVine, while not yet comfortable with the pace of the NBA, were also leading scorers for their respective teams in college.

As long as Pekovic can contain the Heat's defensive attention, then other players can take advantage of it, and the scoring slump can be saved.

At the end of the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the court, and Zach . LaVine waited at the top of the arc for Pekovic to settle down, as the coach had arranged. However, the first-grader's intention to pass the ball to the inside was too obvious, and Addison directly predicted that the basketball was intercepted by a Chinese boy just after he shot.

Philip. Sanders slammed his right hand his left palm, and he regretted putting LaVine in the point guard position. The yellow-skinned rookie Bizak on the other side. LaVine is too cunning, and he looks like an old point guard who has been in the league for many years, and his anticipation ability is terrifying.

The Heat's counterattack didn't work, and Addison didn't force it, holding the ball and waiting for all players to get in place. The boys found the Timberwolves' interior setup to be a good fit for their offense, and Pekovic was slow on his feet and not good at blocking. Yang is not tall enough and is taken by Sean. Williams pinned down, which was too suitable for Addison to play to his breakthrough strengths.

Addison gave Bosh a thumbs up to signal that he didn't have to block the pick-and-roll, and Bosh moved back to the left to get Pekovic's attention as much as he could.

The No. 8 rookie slapped the ball hard with his right hand, and suddenly his shoulder shook to the right, but his right hand hit the ball from behind to the left, and the center of gravity quickly pulled back, and he took a big step to the left.

LaVine immediately moved sideways, his lateral movement was good, and he kept up with Addison. The Chinese boy then suddenly changed direction with a large change of hands in front of him, his center of gravity changing at an astonishing speed, and he rushed to LaVine's left side.

LaVine was tempted to follow, but he slowed down and was swept into the box by Addison. The stadium was immediately filled with a clamour, and Heat fans were looking forward to the performance of the Chinese rookie.

Due to being Zack. LaVine followed closely behind him, and Addison didn't opt for a pull-up jumper, but went straight to the basket. Pekovic moved a step, intending to work with LaVine against the extremely nimble yellow-skinned.

Seeing that he was about to collide with the Montenegrin center, Addison suddenly pulled the ball high with his left hand, and his center of gravity also tilted to the left. Pekovic's right heel moved a step, and LaVine at the back saw an opportunity and immediately reached out his arm to break the ball.

However, in the next moment, Addison clasped the basketball with both hands, and turned 360° to the outside with his right foot directly against Pekovic, easily bypassing the opponent's blocking and interception.

The boy facing the basket quickly threw out his hand before Pekovic could turn around, and the basketball hung in a rounded arc and fell into the net without hindrance.

“Yes！！！” Spoelstra saw that he didn't care about being a gentleman anymore, and he swung his fist hard. Addison just turned around and threw a shot under the basket, and the action was smooth and light, which was quite ornamental. Seeing that the previous training had paid off, the Filipino's inner excitement was overwhelming.

"See, Barr? Did you see Addison's breakout throw? Isn't it particularly handsome?! "Taylor. Hill excitedly pulled his companion's arm and moved around in his seat, "Don't worry, the Timberwolves can't guard him!" ”

Barb. Parvin looked at the other party with some helplessness, growing up in Eastern Europe, she didn't know much about the sport of basketball, and even knew the rules in detail. However, the way Addison plays on the field does have a kind of magic that people can't help but pay attention to, and the ease and ease between gestures even reminds Palvin of green magicians like Ronaldinho and Zidane.

Barb. Parvin subconsciously smiled, resting his chin on his hand and returning his gaze to the court. She now thinks that maybe basketball is also quite interesting, and watching NBA games live is really a good choice.

The 13-2 score forced the Timberwolves players to be more cautious. LaVine passes the ball to the flank, and it is played by Kevin. Martin hoisted the ball inside the line. Nikolai. Pekovic is not a pick-and-roll center, he moves slowly and is inconsistent with his half-volley ability. But Pekovic has a huge weight, some low-post singles ability, and decent finishing skills under the basket. Last season at Kevin. With Love taking the majority of the team's shots, Pekovic can still average 17.5 points per game, which shows his ability on the offensive end.

The 'Big White Bear' from Montenegro took the ball against Bosh and slammed his back to the back, and a collision made Bosh clearly feel the difference in strength between the two. You must know that Bosh weighed less than 110 kilograms, while Pekovic's tonnage was more than 130 kilograms, and under the impact, Bosh took a step back uncontrollably.

Pekovic wasn't too fast, he squeezed his opponent with his own strength and turned from the baseline, took a big step to the basket, and then put one arm against Bosh and the other hand to pick the basketball back into the basket. The 'Dragon King's lid was not unpleasant, but it was still in vain to fan the air.

Spoelstra can only pout his lips, he knows that this is the flaw in the small-ball lineup, and the skinny Bosh will definitely be ineffective defensively when he encounters a heavy, single-player center. However, Pekovic still has a gap compared to Howard and Jefferson, as long as his teammates help defend properly, he doesn't have to worry about this 'big white bear' alone affecting the situation of the game.

As Spoelstra thought, Pekovic has some offensive ability, but he is really not the kind of class that can dictate the game with his own strength. What's more, the Montenegrin center itself is also flawed on the defensive end, and the only thing he can do well is to defend in the low post. Encountering Bosh's fast-moving, deft interior with firepower all over the three-point line, Pekovic suffered.

About 9 minutes into the first quarter, when Spoelstra replaced the starters one after another, the score had come to 25:11. The Heat have suppressed the Minnesotans on both ends of the floor, and the Timberwolves have been able to keep the Timberwolves apart from Kevin Brown. Martin and Pekovic scored four points each, and only Thaddeus was the only one. Young scored two points from the free throw.

Addison faced Zach today. LaVine played quite aggressively, scoring 8 points in the first quarter, while contributing 3 assists and 2 steals, which was much stronger than the previous two games.

In comparison, the Timberwolves' two rookies played too bleakly. Zack. LaVine had a hard time playing Addison, who was faster than him on the offensive end, and the big picture of using the cover was not so broad, and the Heat's defensive switch strategy stared him to death.

As for Andrew. Wiggins, he's very talented indeed, but the league's leading wing defender Ruel. Under Deng's careful care, it was difficult for his talent to be brought into play. Wiggins weighs less than 100 kilograms and can't push the Ruhr on his back. Deng, who was even more difficult to break through the experienced Englishman in the face frame singles, shot 0-of-4 from the field in the first quarter and did not score a point.

***

The rhythm of the game was gradually completely controlled by the Heat, and the ability of the Timberwolves' bench lineup was completely incomparable to the starter, and the offense could not be attacked, and the defense could not be prevented. The Heat at Norris. Cole, Josh. McRoberts, veteran captain Haslem and Daniel Brown. Under Granger's efforts, the difference widened to nearly 20 points in the second quarter.

The second half came up with Kevin. Martin regained his touch and hit two three-pointers in a row to give the Timberwolves hope again. But Dwyan, who has been low-key before. Wade burst out, hitting a jumper at the horn position and then single-handedly breaking Kevin. Martin, who scored on the inside, played 2+1 on Pekovic.

The cheers at the American Airlines arena continued one after another, and no one on the current Heat team can surpass Wade's influence, whether it is Bosh who has played a strong role in the new season, or Addison, who has a popular style of play. What Miami fans want most is for Wade to play well, more than anything else.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, Philip Murphy. Sanders also stopped insisting and replaced all the starters to announce his surrender. His players are still young and have a lot of potential, and he knows it will take time to re-emerge from this long-standing Timberwolves team, and it's just getting started.

The Heat were happy with an easy victory, and they eventually beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-90 to improve their record to 4-2.

Addison, who had been a little sluggish in the previous two games, broke out in this game, shooting 8 of 13 from the field, 1 of 2 from three-point range, and 22 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals. The Chinese boy became the first rookie to score 20+ points in a single game with his excellent performance in this game, which made countless people who had always claimed that Addison's scoring ability was weak fall through the glasses.

After the game, Zach. LaVine walked straight into the players' tunnel without looking back. He was suppressed this time, scoring 6 points and 3 assists on 2-of-9 shooting, and his strong unwillingness and frustration made him unwilling to see Addison's face again.

It's Andrew. Wiggins took the initiative to say a few words to the Chinese boy, the two of them had played against each other in the NCAA tournament, and Wiggins was very envious of Jabari at that time. Parker has such a partner who is good at organizing and controlling the field.

"I won't let you be complacent for too long, brown-haired, next time will be my time." Wiggins hugged the boy, then threw his soaked jersey over his shoulders and turned away. He thoroughly recognized the defensive skills of these old birds in the league. Deng's full-court marking left the Canadian Flyer with an embarrassing statistic of 3-of-11 shooting, and Wiggins really didn't want to spend another minute in the American Airlines arena.

“Edison！ Edison！！ Addison was just about to return to the locker room with his teammates when he suddenly heard someone calling his name and turned his head to find that it was Taylor who was still sitting on the sidelines. Hill.

Wade, who was beside him, let out a low chuckle and gave the boy a push. Addison didn't show too much embarrassment, although he was not good at being with different **, but the other party was a verified fan on Twitter, so he had to get to know him.

"Addison, what do you think of Bal? Is she beautiful? "Taylor. Hill grinned and suddenly pushed his companion forward, asking without a finish.

Barb. Parvin's face flushed slightly, and she twisted her friend's waist hard, smiling embarrassedly at Addison with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Addison looked at the two tall girls, and he smiled and nodded honestly. Barb. Parvin is indeed beautiful, and has a sleek beauty that most European and American girls do not have.

"That......" Taylor. Hill's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled slyly, "Then are you willing to be her boyfriend?" ”
