Chapter 225: The One Who Doesn't Admit Defeat

“defense!!! defense!!! defense!!! The sound of Wizards fans cheering for the home team rang in Addison's ears, and he came to the front court step by step with the ball, ignoring the boos thrown at him by the fans in the front row of the audience.

The Chinese point guard gestured to Alexi. Atkinsa landed near the basket, while McRoberts was on standby in the high post, ready to cover himself. He pressed his back slightly in front of the top of the arc, and the basketball hit the floor irregularly, as if he didn't care about the dwindling offensive time.

"The Heat didn't pick up the pace of offense because they were down by a big score, and Addison still looked like he wanted the team to play steadily." O'Neill rubbed his broad chin with his palm and said with some puzzlement.

"Against a Wizards team who are desperate on the defensive end tonight, it's not wise to blindly increase the number of offensive rounds to increase it, and it's better to improve the success rate of each offensive round." Reggie. Miller explained that while he doesn't have hope that the Heat will turn the game around in the final quarter and a half, he is quite supportive of Addison's choice.

It can also be said that this hardcore 'Amy' is one of the TNT basketball commentators who has the most accurate analysis of the game, and her thinking can often be synchronized with the players and even the coaching staff on the court.

John. Wall stared at Addison's every subtle movement, his mouth pursed in nervous and emotion. At this time, he didn't have much energy and willingness to spew trash talk at the opponent, he just wanted to prevent every attack of Addison and lead the team to the first victory of the playoffs.

McRoberts, who was high post, received the signal and moved to the three-point line to step forward to cover. The basketball hit the floor hard, and the Chinese point guard, who was holding the basketball with his left hand, immediately moved to the left with the help of the block. John who has already prepared something. Wall took a quick step back and bypassed McRoberts in an attempt to block his opponent's breakthrough. Addison dribbled but took two steps, and his left hand flicked back slightly, and the basketball hit the ground from behind and returned to the right side while the center of gravity of his body quickly twisted, and the direction of the impact instantly switched back to the right side.

McRoberts in front of the three-point line did not go down immediately, but continued to stay where he was, turning around and making a second cover for the Chinese point guard. John. Wall's reaction was quick, almost following Addison as he shifted direction, but he couldn't quickly retreat around McRoberts' body and was briefly blocked by the Heat's power forward.

"Wall's defense is open! What would Addison choose? Barkley said expectantly, "Oh my God, he shot straight away!" Didn't give anyone a chance to react, a big jumper from beyond the three-point line!! ”

As Barkley said, Addison didn't give the Wizards players a chance to block the defense, and took advantage of the brief moment when Wall was blocked to jump outside the three-point line at the top of the arc without hesitation, and firmly dialed the basketball out with his left hand.

"!!Shh The crisp sound of the basket being swept up in white waves rattled the drumming of the Washington fans in the stadium, followed by more violent boos and shouts for the home team to fight back. Addison was indifferent to all this, still keeping a calm face, and after scoring the goal, he waved his teammates to quickly return to the defensive position.

——73:54…… There is still a chance......

John. Wall's brows furrowed, he had seen that the Chinese-American point guard was the only player on the Heat team who was fully committed to the situation of falling behind, completely unaffected by the dilemma of falling behind and the slackness of his teammates. If it were from the perspective of an onlooker, Wall would appreciate this paranoid character; But from the opponent's point of view, such a guy is a little annoying.

A guy who never admits defeat until the end is definitely the scariest thing in the arena, especially when this guy who doesn't admit defeat is still a paranoid. Addison has led the team to complete a big comeback victory more than once this season. Wall would rather challenge an All-Star-caliber team than play against a team led by victory paranoia.

"Ball." He clapped his hands and served to Otto. Potter urged. In any case, he would never let Addison snatch a nine-ten-out victory right under his nose this time, absolutely not.

"It's really rare for Addison to shoot this kind of three-pointer...... Barkley smacked his lips, "The three-point line is indeed his offensive blind spot relatively speaking, let alone a direct jump shot after blocking and pick-and-roll." ”

"However, Addison's shooting rate of such an almost unreasonable three-pointer at critical moments is quite high, which is diametrically opposed to his characteristics of not being good at three-point shooting." Reggie. Miller looked at the stats from TNT with a rather amusing expression, "That means even if Eddie hits all the first ten three-pointers, you can still hand over the task of making key three-pointers to him in the final moments." ”

"Killer instinct, isn't it?" O'Neill raised an eyebrow knowingly, knowing exactly what the two partners were trying to say.

"Speaking of which, Shaq, you've done great things in your career with Kobe Bryant and Wade, two super court killers, do you think Addison has the ability to match those two in the future?" Buckley, who has always liked to do things the most, suddenly had an association and asked with a smile.

O'Neill glanced at Sir Charles, who was accustomed to pitting people, everyone knew that this kind of question was the most difficult to answer, and he still had to maintain a clear and objective appearance: "I should be the one who has commented on Addison's game the least among the TNT commentators, but in the few games that have commented on Addison, I have seen a lot from this young Chinese." He has a lot of talent, whether it's being a super point guard or being a court killer...... I remember the game he beat the Cleveland Cavaliers with a killer steal. From then on, I thought that if this kid could live up to his talent 100 percent with hard work, as Kobe Bryant did, he would definitely be a player who would go down in league history. ”

Reggie. Miller and Barkley looked at each other, neither of them was stupid, they could hear that O'Neal seemed to say a lot, but in fact quietly brought Barkley's question just now. After all, these commentators of TNT are all people who are accustomed to observing words and expressions and have rich experience in mouth cannons, and it is not easy for anyone who wants to pit anyone. Like Charles. Barkley and Shaq. A character like O'Neill, who usually seems to speak unabashedly and sprays whenever he wants, once they plan to talk about the topic smoothly, it is something that can be easily done.

Coming to the Heat halfcourt, John. Wall didn't play on his own, he had been trying his best on both ends of the floor in the first half and early part of the third quarter, and now he had to cut back on his offensive play to prepare for the fourth quarter. I'm afraid that even Wall himself didn't realize that he was still nearly twenty points ahead of his opponent and that it was entirely possible to settle the battle in the third quarter, but he instinctively thought that the game would be entangled until the last quarter.

Basketball came safely to Bradley. In Beal's hands, the Wizards' shooting guard was a major contributor to the home team's big lead tonight, and he now scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, and he did a great job of limiting Dwyanne on the defensive end. Wade. Taylor. Johnson was focused on stopping in front of the opponent's half-body, staying at a distance that neither fit nor let the opponent dry jump shot, and tried to interfere with Beal's vision with one hand.

In contrast, Bradley. Beal's expression was much more relaxed than when he faced Wade, and although he had only been in the league for three seasons, he was not compared to Tyler, an undrafted rookie who only joined the Heat in the second half of the season. Johnson still has a lot of experience to play. Not to mention Bradley. Beal is a talented and excellent shooting guard in his own right, and his individual abilities are among the best in the league.

Striking the standard three-threat pose, his hands falling to his waist and shaking it for a while, Taylor couldn't help but be nervous. Johnson forced half a step back, and Beal slammed the dribble towards the baseline. Johnson moved his feet to chase the defense, but was blocked by the cover of **, and saw the opponent out of his defensive range. McRoberts had to prepare for a change, but he moved as fast as Ruhr in the starting lineup. Deng is too far off. Beal jumped up easily near the baseline and hit a mid-range jumper to the net to bring the margin back to more than 20 points again.

Randy on the sidelines. Whitman nodded to the cheers of the audience, Bradley. Beal's hot hand in this game made him very satisfied. With three consecutive losses to the Heat and a 4-0 sweep, Whitman's position with the Wizards is already very shaky. The management has informed him that if the team is really swept by 4 games, then Whitman will resign voluntarily. Fortunately, the players played well today, giving hope to the Wizards and Randy. Whitman has a chance to keep his position.

The head coach's relieved look didn't last long, and the Heat's next offense made him frown again.

Addison, who dribbled to the top of the arc, immediately called for McRoberts to cover, and he took the ball to the right to wipe inside. McRoberts didn't go down the other side after making a cover, but moved straight beyond the three-point line. The playful power forward also has the ability to shoot three-pointers and is shooting more and more as he solidifies himself on the second team.

John. Wall stepped back and slid to chase the Chinese point guard, but was shaken by the opponent's sudden change of hand to pass the ball behind him, and couldn't help but take a step towards the position where McRoberts was. It was this move that caused him to lose his defensive position, and Addison's right hand slammed the basketball from behind to the right, and suddenly accelerated past the distracted Wall!

"Supplemental !!" Wall yelled at his teammates, and immediately moved over to try to block the Chinese point guard. Eddie's speed did not slow down, and his right hand on the dribble pulled the basketball to the outside of his body, while his right leg took another step to the right. The instantaneous proximity made ** have no time to think about it, and followed the opponent to make a lateral move, but saw that the next moment Addison pulled the ball lightly and turned around, and after hitting the ground with a "bang" of the basketball, it had already turned to the other side of the **body, and the left hand held the bounced basketball and took another step, breaking through the Brazilian defense!

Addison was very close to the basket after passing **, and he was not afraid to face Marsin. Gortat jumped. Naturally, the Polish center will not let the opponent hit the basket as desired, and the arms are stretched out to block Addison's offense. The Chinese point guard contracted slightly in the air, while holding the basketball with both hands below the chest and abdomen, and at the moment of collision with Gortat, he stretched his body violently, and swiped his left hand from the bottom to the top to avoid the Pole's block and lightly picked the basketball towards the basket.

Despite the collision with the center, Addison's movements did not deform in the air, and he staggered back to the floor and staggered to gain a firm center of gravity. Of course, his eyes never took off the basketball that he had picked out.

"Bang!! Swish!!! "The basketball hit the center of the rebound and crashed into the net.

"Drip !!" The referee blows for Marsin. Gortat's whistle for a defensive foul sounded sharply.
