Spoelstra applauded vigorously and motioned for all the players who had just finished the morning training camp to gather around. The uniforms did not try to soothe the players as they were automatically put into a slightly nervous state because of the upcoming game, which they felt was good for the adrenaline rush and allowed them to perform better in the game.

"We've got seven hours to go, so we're not training in the afternoon, so let's go and relax." "But don't relax too much, I want to see each of you at 100 per cent and ready to fight for victory." ”

Adjusting the mental state of the players when preparing for the game is the result of Spoelstra's mentorship of Pat. Riley learned an important tool. When to get the players nervous and when to let them relax is a pretty esoteric discipline that many coaches fail to learn in their lifetimes.

Naturally, the players raised their hands in favor of the coaching staff's arrangement and immediately disbanded in the training hall. Ruhr. Deng and Daniel. Granger and his men wanted to visit Cleveland's busiest Ukride Avenue, while Ennis and Taylor were on the way. Johnson and the other young people made an appointment to play billiards together. Addison declined Ennis's invitation to play billiards together, and the young Chinese who returned to the hotel had a lunch that could fill him for seven minutes, and after resting for half an hour, he went to the hotel's fight room specially set up for guests.

For mixed fighting, Addison didn't dare to say how profound he was. He has been practicing Jeet Kune Do since he was 13 years old, and he has practiced unlimited combat combat with his peers in the gym, and with the experience of street fights that were once commonplace in Harlem, Addison believes that he has some self-defense ability.

He never wears gloves during boxing practice, only mixed martial arts-style gloves with open fingers, or simply goes into battle with bare fists. Addison not only refers to the calluses on the inside of the side due to years of slapping basketball, but also a large number of calluses and crust on the back of his fingers and phalanges, which are left by regular practice punching.

"Bang Bang ......" Addison continued to perform a quick short punch drill against the sandbag attached to the wall, in which he constantly made changes in pace, and from time to time pretended that there was a fighter in front of him, and carried out volley counterattack training with a combination of elimination and fighting. There was no one in the fight room at noon, and it completely became a world for him to sweat. It's a pity that there is no such thing as his favorite wooden stake target, otherwise he could have practiced more physically and mentally.

"This is Jeet Kune Do? Pretty cool, buddy! Whiteside's unabashedly loud voice came from behind him, the guy had nothing to do due to today's ban, and he also came to the fight room after returning to the hotel. The big 7-foot man with two boxing gloves was on the move, and he had studied boxing for a while. Mayweather was one of his idols.

Addison smiled at his teammates and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He just likes Jeet Kune Do, and with his ability to practice it for only five or six years, he can't reach the level of representing Jeet Kune Do. Addison has not had many idols since he was a child, and Bruce Lee is definitely one of them, and even his deceased father is a big admirer of Bruce Lee.

"The lawless is the law, the infinite is the finite", "water is impermanent, and the exercise of force needs to be based on the flow of water"...... Bruce Lee's classic quotes and philosophical theories are not only applicable to martial arts fighting, but also to life in the field of basketball, which Addison is most familiar with. In today's league, the one who has studied Bruce Lee's philosophy most thoroughly is undoubtedly Kobe Bryant. Bryant, the star of the Purple and Gold Army, even perfectly integrated the theory of Jeet Kune Do into his basketball skills, and thus created a basketball philosophy system that is unique to the 'Black Mamba'.

"Do you want to make a comparison, Eddie?" Whiteside suggested with a smile, though he didn't take it seriously. Addison still has an all-important playoff game to play in a few hours, and he certainly can't risk an injury here to fight Whiteside in an MMA-style ring.

The young Chinese shook his head and pouted, if it was in the uncontrolled streets of Harlem, he really wasn't afraid of fighting someone of Whiteside's size. But if it were to fight in the ring by the rules of the fight, Whiteside's 7-foot height, nearly 110-kilogram weight and nimble movement were too much for Addison, and the difference in strength and size was an insurmountable obstacle for him.

The two of them soaked in the fight room for a long time, and Addison left the hotel with more than two hours left before the game and went to the Quick Loan Center Court. He needs to allow himself a separate warm-up time to get in shape, so he usually arrives on the pitch about an hour before the other players.

However, when he came to the Quick Loan Center Court, he found that he was not the first player to "spoil" here tonight. A skinny guy in a Cavaliers training uniform, about 6'3" tall, has already started shooting practice here.

"Ha, it looks like I won the first contest tonight, Eddie!" Carey. Owen smiled smugly when he saw Addison's surprised expression, "I arrived 20 minutes before you, rookie!" ”

***

"Wow, I see Jay-Z and Beyoncé! God, I really want Jay-Z's autograph! When Ennis, who was warming up, looked around the audience and saw the American hip-hop king couple sitting in the first row of VIP seats, he suddenly seemed not calm. He rubbed his palms excitedly and couldn't help but mutter.

Ruhr on the side. Deng raised an eyebrow: "For me, Beyoncé is much more attractive than Jay-Z...... If you look to the right, you can see Drake, who doesn't just love the Raptors, right? ”

"But don't be too enthusiastic, kid." Daniel. Granger patted Ennis on the shoulder and motioned for him to calm down, "Both Jay-Z and Drake are here to cheer LBJ on today, and we're their enemies." It's not a Grammys, and these glamorous stars might jump up and trash talk at you during the competition. ”

Addison, who was warming up for his shooting, couldn't help but laugh softly when he heard this, and he remembered Leonardo who was sitting in the VIP seat when he went to Staples Arena to watch the Lakers' games. DiCaprio is really going to spit trash talk at the Purple and Gold's opponents. No matter how dignified a public figure is, when they devote themselves to the game, they can become avid fans.

"There was really a star-studded crowd in the crowd at QuickLoan Center tonight, and I thought I was commentating on the game at Madison Garden!" TNT's live streamers are ready to go, Kenny. Smith smiled and threw out his opening remarks, "LBJ's return to Cleveland will have a tremendous impact on the place, and before this season, there won't be superstars of the level of Jay-Z and Beyoncé in the audience at the Quick Loan Center." ”

"It's a relative benefit, Kenny." O'Neal, who has played in Los Angeles for many years, has long been accustomed to the feeling of having a public star in the audience, "The team needs to attract these stars to build a hype for themselves and create greater commercial benefits; And these stars also need to appear regularly in live games across the United States to create gimmicks for themselves. ”

"Makes sense, Shaq. However, I think that celebrities like the Jay-Z couple who have reached the level of influence no longer need to use live game footage to add to their fame...... These guys should be just here for LeBron. James is on the scene, and their relationship with LBJ has always been good. Barkley retorted that the remarks made the Cavaliers fans, who had always been annoyed with him, slightly less hostile.

Sure enough, LeBron. After some warm-ups, James came to the sidelines to greet the Jay-Z couple and Drake, and several public figures jokingly chatted a few times, but attracted a lot of live cameras and media reporters with the spotlight of their cameras.

"Eddie, you should @ your supermodel fans on Twitter, we can't afford to lose face in this regard when we go back to the home game." Ruhr. Deng playfully elbowed the Chinese point guard and grinned as he encouraged the proposal to be unanimously approved by the Heat players.

All Addison could respond to was an extremely speechless look, thinking that half of the team, from the boss to the water cooler manager, seemed to have half of their brain circuits thinking about women. If there were a row of supermodels in the American Airlines arena watching every game, these guys would probably be able to explode hormones to the point of reaching the finals.

The big screen above the court showed the starting lineups of both teams - on the Heat side, Alexey. Akinsa replaced the suspended Whiteside as the starting centre-forward, while Daniel Whiteside. Granger made his first playoff start this season as a shooting guard. The changes on the Cavaliers' side are not small, Tristan. Thompson was suspended and unable to play. Blatter will be LeBron directly. James was pushed to the starting power forward position, and the small forward was promoted by Iman Brown. Shambaught served as the officer.

"David. Blatter also put on a lineup similar to a big and four small, but I don't think he's going to let the Cavaliers play small-ball. Barkley looked at the Cavaliers' lineup and commented disapprehantly, "As long as Mozgov is still on the court, the Cavaliers' small-ball tactics can't be used, and the Russian's slow movement in the small-ball tactics will definitely cause the team to be disjointed offensively and defensively." ”

"LBJ played power forward for a while with the Heat and played really well, so I think he can still adapt to that position. However, if he wants to use his flexibility in the No.4 position, it may not turn out to be his heart's content. The Heat's current No. 4 position is also pushed up from the front line. Deng, the Englishman has played against James quite a few times in his career, and he is familiar with such defensive tasks. "Kenny. Smith analyzed, "If the Cavaliers want to use this kind of change to achieve a surprise effect, I don't think it's a very clever approach. ”

Addison rubbed his palms with magnesium powder on the sidelines, tightened the knee pads on his legs, and walked into the arena with Carey. Owen gave a hug.

"Are you still planning to steal my limelight today, rookie?" Owen said teasingly as he patted the other man on the back, "I feel like I'm in good shape right now, and I'm not going to give you any chance." ”

- Watch out for your words, buddy, I never use anyone else to give me a chance to win. I won all my victories by myself.
