"Tell me, Add, are you still thinking about what happened in the last minute of the last game?" At the end of the third quarter, Wade, who was sitting in the first row of the audience, approached Addison, and instead of the relaxed smile that always hangs on his face, he gently asked the sweaty Chinese point guard.

With only 130 seconds of rest between the third and fourth quarters, Addison needed to make the most of the short two minutes and 10 seconds to regain his strength and energy. The pressure on every player is enormous in the rapidly changing situation on the field, and the Miamins, who were two points ahead of the visitors five minutes ago, are now trailing 66-69, and they are all thinking sharply about how to launch a counterattack while trying to relax as much as possible. Hearing Wade's words, Addison couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not knowing why the other party would bring up such a thing at such a time......

"I've been telling myself not to think about it and to focus on this game...... That's the right thing to do, as a professional. He raised his eyebrows for some reason, and had to respond.

"Don't always try to use general standards to measure yourself as a lever, boy, the only thing that suits you is always the feelings and emotions in your heart." Wade tapped his thumb on his chest, "Even if you can't help but think about the last game, for people like us who need to take responsibility, there are only two paths in that moment - one to heaven and one to hell." ”

Addison looked at the team boss's long-experienced eyes, and the sleek and sharp look in the opponent's eyes was something he couldn't learn now. After two seconds of silence, the Chinese point guard chuckled knowingly: "So, even if the road in front of me leads to hell, I still have to rush forward without hesitation?" ”

The corners of Wade's mouth lifted upward, and he reached out to press Addison's shoulder, "We have no choice, man...... Who made us the one who got the most attention on the field? Who keeps us always seen as 'hope'? ”

"Isn't 'hope' supposed to bring victory to those who aspire to him?"

“…… That's why I said, even if you keep thinking about the losses and mistakes in the last game, it doesn't matter, remember your chagrin and unwillingness at that time, and remember it deeply in your heart. In competitive competitions we always lose, and we lose often, but no matter who you lose, don't lose to yourself. Because the person who loses to himself, even if it is not hell in front of him, he does not dare to take another step forward. ”

Hearing this, Addison's mind couldn't help but flash back to the embarrassed appearance of falling down after being tackled by his opponent in the last game, and it was difficult for him to figure out how he felt when he recalled this scene. The young point guard drank Gatorade in one gulp, wiped his mouth and asked Wade, "So, what about you, boss?" Have you ever lost to yourself? Have ...... When you don't dare to take a step forward even if the road ahead is smooth? ”

Wade blinked mysteriously, "Do you mean all my life, or just on the basketball court?" If only on the court, boy, do you think I'm the kind of person who would throw in the towel to himself? If that were the case, I would probably never have dared to return to the field of action during the time I was told I needed to have my meniscus removed. ”

Addison didn't show whether he was satisfied with the answer, he didn't say anything more, but turned his head to look quietly at the floor by the court. The young man's gaze was not focused, but his breathing became more steady and long. Wade patted Addison's shoulder lightly, retreated to his seat and relaxed his body.

"What did you talk about?" Gary on the side. Payton asked with interest, not yet uninteresting enough to be involved in a conversation between two generations of a team's core, but that didn't stop him from being hugely curious about what the conversation was about.

"It's hard for me to summarize when you ask me so suddenly...... I guess it's about courage. Wade smiled and clasped his hands behind his head, "That kid understands so well, I don't even think I need to be so euphemistic with him." He understands everything. ”

Payton looked the Heat leader up and down at the end of his career, and his face was not as anxious as he was in the face of a life-or-death match, just like the countless Miami fans watching the game in this arena. Instead, he was a little inexplicably calm, as if he didn't care about the outcome of this game that could decide whether the Heat team was eliminated or not.

"Maybe you didn't realize it, Dwyan. I've seen a lot of team leaders with good personalities, but a leader like you who is willing to guide new people step by step...... This is indeed the first time I've seen it. Peyton's tone was thoughtful, as if to contrast his impression of Wade with his own understanding of the past.

"Haha, can I understand that you're complimenting me?" The Flash looked up with a smile and patted the back of his head with one hand, "Congratulations on discovering another good thing about me...... I'm a good guy, Gary. The reason is as straightforward as that, because I'm a good person. ”

A loud electronic sound sounded on the court that represented the start of the fourth quarter, and Wade and Payton stopped talking and turned their eyes to it. Addison was the first to stand up from the bench, clapping his hands vigorously at his teammates and raising his voice:

“It's our time！！！ Whether it's a win or a loss, you'll know if you fight once!! ”

“Let's go！ Miami Heat！！！ ”

***

"It's pathetic with that determined look on your face, Addison, especially when you know you're going to lose." JR. Smith, who was responsible for defending the Heat point guard at the top of the arc, was very tired of looking at the always confident look on the opponent's face, and said mockingly.

"In my opinion, it's even more pathetic for a guy who can't complete the team's mission at all...... but is arrogant," said Addison, who had regained his ability to speak, and was absolutely compelled to such attacks. Didn't Blatter ask you to restrain me? Now you are ashamed to death every time you see my series averages, right? Let me think about how much of your three-point shooting percentage you have in this series...... 32%？ No, no, no, definitely less than that...... Anyway, don't you carry the title of 'Royal Marksman's Regiment'? Wouldn't you be ashamed of that so-called 'king' with such a hit? ”

The green tendons on JR. Smith's forehead bulged violently, but any professional player with strong self-esteem would not be able to listen to others sarcastically mocking him for his incompetence, and if it wasn't for reason forcing him to calm down, he would now want to have a real unrestricted fight with the Chinese American in front of him, who was laughing poorly. But Addison didn't wait for him to suppress the depression in his chest, and his center of gravity quickly moved sideways to the basketball, and the basketball was handed to his left hand to pull away, while his left foot also maintained the smooth rhythm that is unique to Addison's breakthrough.

JR followed laterally and sideways, but the moment he saw Addison's left foot on the ground, he suddenly changed hands in front of his body and changed direction, and the basketball hit the floor with a sonorous bang and bounced back to the right side of the point guard's body! This kind of simple but fast-paced change of direction in front of the body JR has encountered many times in this series, but it is still difficult to keep up with Addison's pace in the first place, and he is always thrown off half a position or more in an instant. And when facing Addison, half of the body is likely to be fatal.

“Crossover！！！ JR has been hit again!! Drexler's eyes widened and he said, "Ruhl. Deng's cover came quite timely and blocked JR who wanted to catch up!! What will LeBron's choice be - and sure enough, he chose to switch to Addison! It's a great shot!! ”

LBJ's broad body is like a tough iron wall in front of him, which is quite oppressive visually, and of course, his defensive pressure is not only visual. James' defense was very high, and he didn't want Addison to burst into the area close to the free-throw line. However, Addison was not forced to stop the ball by the pressure, and he reacted as soon as he stepped into the three-point line, pulling the basketball outside with his right hand and switching the direction of the breakthrough with his body in front of the right. Although James' lateral movement ability is not as good as that of the Heat point guard, he will not be thrown off by this degree of change of direction, and quickly slides sideways to block the opponent's progress.

"Bang !!" Addison didn't pause in his response, and with a flick of his right wrist, he struck the basketball from behind. And his body also quickly rotated nearly 360 degrees in the direction of the side and back, like a dexterous spinning top, he completed the turn at lightning speed, and his left hand grabbed the basketball that had just bounced off the floor. Then the speed is increased and the ball moves in the opposite direction.

Naturally, James would not easily let his opponent escape from his defensive range, and he hurriedly pulled back his center of gravity to catch up, but suffered the same encounter as JR. Smith, and suddenly bumped into Whiteside, who was raised from the penalty area as a cover. With LBJ's strong physique, he won't be held back by Whiteside for long, but this short time is enough for Addison.

He moved to the position between the wing and the top of the arc, pulled the basketball back with his left hand, and the whole person jumped lightly to the side and back, and the left leg followed followed by the right leg! The jump jumped to a position just about 30 centimeters from the three-point line, and Addison immediately jumped up with his center of gravity, holding the basketball firmly in his left hand!

"Stop him!! What about the defense?! "David on the sidelines. Blatter yelled anxiously, and LBJ, who was blocked by Whiteside, had no time to defend and bypassed Ruhr. J.R. Smith, who was blocked by Deng, pounced on it a beat slower. Even if Addison's afterglow caught a glimpse of the opponent's pounce, he wouldn't care, the taboo when a player shoots is to be affected by defensive pressure and deform, and excellent players must definitely be 100% confident in their shots.

The shake of the wrist brings the movement of the palm of the hand, and the basketball breaks away from the fingertips and draws a sleek arc in the air, reflecting the glittering lights of the court, plunging headlong into the net basket 20 feet away!!

“Bingo！！！ The step-back jumper was Addison's forte!! This long two-point line is very visually impactful!! "Bill. Wharton couldn't help but wave his arm excitedly, his wrinkled face flushed with excitement, "Listen to the cheers from the American Airlines Arena!" Miamins have never given up on expecting Addison!! ”

"But if such a long two points appear on the Rockets, I'm afraid Addison will be replaced on the spot, and then press on the bench to enjoy his time in the snow." Drexler smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "In Morey's 'magic ball theory,' such a long two-point jumper is an absolute waste of efficiency, far less effective than making fouls or three-pointers...... What do you think of this so-called 'magic ball theory', Bill? ”

The old center, who is over sixty years old, showed a mixture of disdain and rejection, and did not hide the dissatisfaction in his tone: "The guy who only uses data as a theoretical basis may be a little good, but he still has hundreds of thousands of miles to go before he can truly understand the game." His so-called 'magic ball theory' will only end up being shredded and ruined in the playoffs, abandoning the mid-range in favor of three-pointers and interior kills at a playoff level...... Then all that awaits him is a fiasco! Yes, only fiasco!! ”
