Chapter 113: The Victory Is Divided
"ELL, I've found out again that Addison is very similar to AI...... This unexpected steal. Kevin. Harlan to Reggie. Miller raised an eyebrow, hoping to be recognized.
"Honestly, Kevin, there's a difference between Addison and AI at this point. It's true that they're all good at stealing by surprise, but the AI's steals are often gambling steals that give up the center of gravity or defensive position, and once they fail, it means that the defense is out of position; Addison's steals almost never disregard the defensive position, and his interceptions are basically help defensive steals...... From this point of view, Addison is more like Chris. Paul. "Reggie. Miller's answer made many fans who watched the live broadcast marvel at his deep understanding of basketball and how well he knew Addison.
Addison, who scored a sneak dunk, narrowed the gap to four points, but when he returned to the defensive end, Aldridge hit a turnaround jumper after pushing away Bosh again to reopen the gap.
The annoyed 'Dragon King' clapped his hands, the mid-range monster he was in the position felt so good today, he put the firepower in the middle distance, and he didn't get into the basket very much, and he had scored 27 points so far.
"Add, pay attention to the success rate! If you can't find a chance, try to come by yourself! Spoelstra shouted at Addison, and now the Chinese rookie on this team is his most trusted player, even more than Bosh.
Addison nodded to the head coach and slowed himself down after dribbling through half-time.
"You can't win, rookie, there's only 4 minutes left." Lillard continued to whisper in his opponent's ear, "I'm going to stop every one of your next attacks." ”
The corners of Addison's mouth couldn't help but smile, Lillard said this sentence to him many times, but the number of times it was realized was very small, and it seems that the level of trash talk of the Trail Blazers outside line needs to be improved.
The ball was passed to Bosh who had risen to the high post, and Aldridge had to follow him inside. Bosh didn't attack with the ball either, but passed the ball back to Addison, who came to the right side.
Addison, who took the basketball, slapped the ball from behind him while his body quickly retreated as it landed. Lillard, who had learned his lesson, immediately decided to stick it up and no longer give the rookie any chance to shoot three-pointers. However, Addison was waiting for this opportunity, and his left hand pulled the ball outward, and his center of gravity immediately turned to the left, striding past his opponent's side.
Lillard, who had been passed, cursed in a low voice and hurriedly turned around to chase after him.
The Chinese rookie, who rushed to the paint area to attract Carman's defense, did not force the attack, but instead hit the ball towards the baseline.
Ruhr. Deng deftly shook off Batum's defense and cut into the penalty area, grabbed the basketball and screamed straight to the basket, and dunked the ball into the net basket with one hand!
"Two pairs! Two pairs at a time! Kevin. Harlan was surprised to see the reality of the stats and said, "26 points and 10 assists!" That's a stat that only a superstar can play! ”
"The Trail Blazers' defense tonight is really easy to play superstar stats...... Reggie Brown. Miller's standard caustic taunt returns, "As much as I admire Addison, he's not as true as the data should be." But the Portlanders' defense tonight was simply terrible, both individually and assisted. ”
Under the offensive and defensive transition, Aldridge repeated his turnover jumper, but this time Bosh's full entanglement played a role, the shot hit the iron and popped up, and was protected by Whiteside for the rebound.
Addison, who took over the basketball, did not run fast this time, but signaled his teammates to take position and dribble forward steadily. By this point in the game, both sides will have their defensive levels rising, and blindly counterattacking fast breaks will only reduce the success rate of the attack.
Spoelstra nodded when he saw this, and was glad that there was an Addison on the team. This ability to control the tempo according to the stage of the game, Dwyan. Wade didn't understand it at all early in his career.
Addison glanced at his teammates' movements, the Trail Blazers were now trying their best to defend, especially with both interior players following their opponents.
Well...... Maybe you can take advantage of the enthusiasm of your opponents?
The idea crossed the mind of the Chinese rookie, and he immediately decided to put it into action. Raise your hand and greet Chris. Bosh covered and Addison switched to his right hand and moved quickly.
Sure enough, Aldridge didn't wait to block at the free throw line, but directly mentioned that the line changed defenses. The Heat's No. 7 is getting more and more explosive as it hits critical moments in the game, which has begun to be noticed by teams around the league.
Addison, who was moving along the three-point line, suddenly pulled his body upwards and raised his arms on the ground. This realistic shot made Aldridge jump immediately, but he regretted it as soon as he did.
"Idiot! How can this ball jump?! Stouts shouted in annoyance as he stood on the sidelines, and as a bystander he could certainly see what the rookie was trying to do.
"Oh my God, LaMarcus' excitement made Addison's foul! Three free throws! Here's your chance for the Miamins! ”
Bosh and Ruhr. Deng ran over and pulled Addison up from the ground, at which point the Rose Garden court was all angry and rushed at the Chinese rookie who caused the foul, and the boos and insults were overwhelming.
"Damn the yellow race, go back to the other side of the ocean!!"
"This is not your show, Yellowskin Monkey, your performance is disgusting!!"
"Only a circus would love your show, monkey !!"
……
Addison's brow furrowed at the discriminatory and insulting words, but he calmly walked to the free throw line. Racist remarks have been heard since he started playing basketball, and now he has no dislike for those foul words, only pity, pity for the weak who are unwilling to face the facts.
Trail Blazers fans made as much noise and strange behavior as they could to distract Addison, but the Heat point guard made three of three free throws to shatter all of their extravagant hopes.
"It's 29 points! Oh my God, is it possible that Addison is going to get his first career 30+ on the Portlanders' turf?! It is estimated that this will be a big shame in the history of the Trail Blazers! Kevin. Harlan seemed to be a little out of his brain, and said in a daze.
Reggie. Miller was dismissive: "What's wrong with that?" What could be cooler than breaking a record by stepping on an opponent's wound?! Addison should bow and thank the Portlanders after scoring 30 points, that's what a play ticket is, man! ”
"Not everyone is as crazy as you are, Reggie ......" Kevin. Harlan pouted speechlessly.
"That's not madness, Kevin, that's my pride...... Only my pride ......"
***
Stottes called a timeout, and the margin was reduced to just one point, which made him nervous.
"Keep up the fight, boys, you're all doing well!" Spoelstra complimented everyone on the team by picking up the tactics board and "stretching the defensive range and not giving the opponent any chance to shoot a three-pointer!" Hassan, you have to pay attention to the defense at all times! I don't want my opponent to run into our box and do something! ”
"Don't worry, sir! If they dare to come in, I'll treat them to a taste of the Whiteside brand of hot pot!! Whiteside said in a high-pitched voice, and this time he successfully froze Chris. Carman, who also blocked Aldridge so much that he didn't dare to go to the basket, gave him a big boost in confidence.
This guy played in the Chinese league CBA for a short period of time, during which time he ate spicy hot pot a few times, and since then he has been obsessed with that spicy and delicious feeling. It's a pity that after returning to the United States, he never found a chance to eat Chinese hot pot again.
At the end of the timeout, the two teams back on the field began to fight white-hot, and both sides did not attack quickly, but the success rate was high. With the final 50 seconds of the game, the Miami Heat dominated the game and led the Trail Blazers by three points.
"It's hard to imagine LaMarcus being out of shape in the final moments of the game, missing two consecutive attacks, which gave the Miami the best chance to launch a counterattack!" Kevin. Haaland said as he looked at Aldridge, who had withdrawn to the half with a depressed expression.
"Well, that's Aldridge's biggest flaw, he doesn't have a big heart that belongs to a superstar. At this point, I think Lillard is more of a leader than he is. "Reggie. Miller laughed a little chilled.
"Watch defensive! Keep an eye on each position!! Lillard yelled at his teammates, and then came to the three-point line, staring at Addison on the dribble.
Addison is in no hurry to attack, and now it is them who are ahead, and he has to make sure that every attack consumes 24 seconds as much as possible. The boos and insults from the fans frantically poured into the young man, but Addison turned a deaf ear.
With 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, Addison suddenly picked up speed in front of the three-point line and slammed into the left. Lillard followed closely, and when he saw the other party's change of direction behind his back, he immediately shifted his focus.
But Lillard, who was just about to chase after him, bumped into a solid body and couldn't help but stop.
- TM is also a block!! Lillard is tired of the Heat's pick-and-roll offense, but now he can only hope for his teammates' defense.
With the help of Bosh's cover to flash to the three-point line, Addison's dribbling action abruptly stunted, and at the moment Aldridge adjusted his center of gravity, he accelerated again, and the dribble rushed towards the left side of the paint area!
Chris, Inside. Carman stared at the moving Chinese point guard as he stepped out of the reasonable collision zone to intercept Addison. However, Addison flicked his wrist as he moved, and the basketball flew out of his palm and hit the floor, before bouncing off Carman's side and into the basket.
It was Hassan who received the basketball. Whiteside, the Heat center, will not let go of the opportunity to humiliate this slow-moving white big man, he is separated by the unprepared Chris. Carman smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Carman was even staggered backwards by the force......
Terry on the sidelines. Stotters shook his head helplessly, and the Trail Blazers basically lost hope of victory. With less than 30 seconds to trail the opponent by 5 points, the trend is gone.
Coach Stouts called a timeout, which should be the last timeout for the Trail Blazers. What will they choose? Steal two points and then foul? Or just bet on three-pointers? ”
Stotters decided to steal two points and then quickly foul him, which was the only option if he wanted to turn it around.
Chris on the sideline serve. Carman almost couldn't send it, the Miami people's defense was extremely strong, and in the end it was Nicholas. Batum got rid of the Ruhr for a while. Deng came to the three-point line to receive the serve.
Seeing that time was running out, Batum forced a one-step jumper shot into the three-point line. Deng's serious interference was ridiculous, and the net was shot directly into the hands of Bosh under the basket......
Stotters knew the winner was the winner when he saw the basketball go off the basket, and he went straight back to the bench.
Bosh was fouled by Aldridge and walked to the free throw line, and his 70 percent or more free throw percentage was enough to support him in two free throws. The Heat gave their opponents about 10 seconds to expand the gap by seven points.
The end is already doomed, and even the Trail Blazers players are reluctant to attack anymore.
Ten seconds later, the electronic audio filled the court with a 107-100 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
