'My consciousness tells me I'm going to score a lot more goals tonight. So you give up, first grade, you have to learn to see clearly what you can hold on to and what you can't. "Carey. Irving dribbled to the Heat halfcourt, muttering to Addison while signaling to his teammates that he would continue to dominate the offense. He's pretty hot right now, so no one on the Cavaliers has anything to do with Irving's choice.

"But my instinct is that you're done with me, megalomaniacal." Addison squinted his eyes and shot back, "Come to think of it, Carey, when have you ever had the upper hand in front of me?" I'm your nemesis, so don't brag about anything in front of me. ”

Carey. Owen pursed his lips and snorted coldly, "Tonight is the time for me to break your ridiculous impression!" ”

Saying that, the Cavaliers point guard shook his center of gravity, with the help of Tristan. Thompson's running cover accelerated towards the left high post. At this time, the Heat's No. 4 spot is not Lull. Deng was McRoberts, and the white man couldn't keep up with Irving's movement on the inside, so he didn't press forward but stuck in the free-throw line area to block. Addison retreated in time to squeeze out of the cover and pursue, while Daniel on the left flank. Granger also quickly retracted to flank Owen.

Irving, who was surrounded by three people for a while, did not force a breakthrough, but pulled the ball to the side and back, and then jumped up and transferred the basketball to JR. Smith on the wing with both hands. Immediately after Irving landed on the ground, he didn't pause and quickly ran outside the left three-point line, and JR. Smith made a close hand-to-hand pass with him, and then stood up for him to block the chasing Addison.

Irving, who ran outside the three-point line, pulled up directly again and faced Daniel. Granger pounces on a blocked three-pointer. The defender's arm was still a shot too late to block the shot, and Irving watched the basketball with full confidence as he swept through the air and plunged headlong into the net.

“Excellent！！！” To the cheers of the fans, the Cavaliers point guard waved Addison with a celebratory three-point shot, "Let me see your riposte, Addison!" Otherwise, your instincts are wrong! As I said, your ridiculous instincts!! ”

"As you wish, megalomaniacs. You'd better hurry up and defend, I'll show you who the hell is ridiculous. Addison said in a calm tone, taking the basketball from Ennis. The 8-point difference pierced his retina, and after coming on the court, he scored two points on offense and defense but conceded three points, which is equivalent to no contribution at all. The coach didn't bring him on to make him contribute to the negative efficiency rating, he had to make the team see the change.

"Carey. Irving's game was really amazing, he had already scored 16 points before halftime, maybe it would be his 40+ night in the playoffs!! "Kenny. Smith sighed, "But this is definitely not good news for the Heat, and Irving, who had a bad hand in the first two games, can be a huge deterrent to the Heat...... Not to mention today LeBron. James has also cut down 10 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and his condition looks very good. ”

"The Cleveland Cavaliers, who have both cores, are undoubtedly the most terrifying, and it would be a nightmare for any opponent to rely on their own strength to drive the whole team to a good state." Buck put his finger to his chin and said, although his heart is more inclined to the Heat, he has a fairly deep understanding of both teams on the court, "What Miami people have to do now is someone to step up and give a strong response, at least they can't break off on the offensive end." ”

"It's not so much 'someone needs to step up' to respond, it's that Addison has to step up." Kenny. Smith smiled and said, looking at the Chinese point guard who was dribbling to the front court, "The core should be like the core, it doesn't matter if the rookie or the veteran at this time, what he has to do is let the opponent see his response." ”

Addison observed the situation at the top of the arc, and he reached out to beckon Whitecedra to come out as cover, while shouting at McRoberts, "Josh, go low!" Fall to the bottom of the !! ”

McRoberts, who should have the highest ball quotient among the Heat's interior players, immediately understood his teammate's intentions and quickly turned around and moved to the right low post. Whiteside's cover from the three-point line again blocked J.R. Smith for Addison...... Everyone's ability to deal with pick-and-rolls and reaction time is different. Paul and others are at the top of the list, and they will even make accurate predictions before the opponent's screen is formed, so that each time they react one step faster than the opponent's screen; And such as J.R. Smith, Iman. Shambaugh and others are in the middle of the pack, as most players in the league do, and they can't respond defensively until the opponent is blocking or even touching the screen, which is why they prefer defensive wing players to defensive point guards; And like Carey. A player like Irving, his blocking and pick-and-roll ability is definitely the lowest level in the league, and he will hesitate after being blocked by the opponent's cover, but he is not the first to decide whether to chase or change defense. (Jumping out of the framework of this one, I can safely say that before coming to the Celtics in the new season to be coached by Major Coach Stevens, Irving's pick-and-roll ability and skills were definitely at the bottom of the league...... In the '17 Finals, it was common to see him confused by Curry and Durant's pick-and-roll offense. This season, the adjustment of the Green Army's coaching staff has made Irving improve significantly in this area, and we can obviously see that Irving has matured a lot in defensive blocking, and of course, this is also indispensable to the addition of the Green Army's defensive system. ）

Shake off J.R. Smith's Addison and cut straight to the high free-throw line, flicked his wrist as Tristan Thompson blocked it, and struck the ball deep to Josh McRoberts in the low post. Mozgov under the basket hurriedly posted to defend, and McRoberts took the ball with his back to Mozgov, bumped it in, and then suddenly passed the ball back to the middle high post.

Mozgov was confused, but he didn't realize that Addison had just gotten rid of Tristan with his continuous daunting runs just after the pass. Thompson, cut in again from the right horn! Whiteside's second cover in the high post helped him block Thompson, who was about to chase over, and the Chinese point guard who received McRoberts' ball met JR. Smith, who was defending again, jumped up the moment he stepped on the edge of the paint area, and threw the basketball lightly with his right hand!

"!!Shh The ball passed through the net, and the splashed white net flowers made the eyes of the home fans hurt!

"Drip !!" The referee blew the whistle with a resolute look on JR. Smith, signaling for a foul on the opponent's block!

"Hah! That's definitely how I like to respond!! 2+1！！！ Crisp and tough 2+1!! Barkley laughed and clapped his hands and shouted, "Look at David. Blatter's expression, he had just relaxed for less than 20 seconds before frowning again...... Apparently Addison gave him a lot of headaches! ”

"Addison is probably the best player in the league at making and-one games in the playoffs this season, and he's had a very high success rate in at least a few games we've commentated. Let's take a look at Addison's shooting percentage in the two-game series since entering the playoffs — he shot 49.7 percent overall in the first-round series against the Washington Wizards; In his first four games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Addison shot 51.8 percent from the field...... If it weren't for the G4 hits that dragged him down, his stats might have been even more staggering. "Kenny. Smith looked at the stats given by TNT and was amazed, "You know, he has greatly increased his shots in this series, but his shooting percentage has increased instead of decreasing!" That alone is enough to prove that Addison is a player who is both strong and efficient! ”

This playoff round is the stage where Addison has made a name for himself, and perhaps most people will see him as a supernova or a super-rookie when he beats the Wizards, but this series Addison has performed enough to keep up with the stars who stand in the league. He is telling the world that he has the ability and spirit to be seen as a core, even a leader. Barkley put on a rare serious face, and although many Cavaliers supporters scoffed at the remark, they had to admit that Addison was already a terrible threat to their home team.

***

The boos and curses from the Quick Loan Center filled Addison's ears, and he walked to the free-throw line with the same indifferent and calm expression.

Spoelstra took advantage of the opportunity to replace McRoberts and reinstate Ruhr, who had been resting for a while. Deng came on for a change. Although McRoberts is playing well, he is indeed constrained by the outside of the Cavaliers on the defensive end, and at this time it is still the offensive and defensive Ruhr. Deng played a greater role.

And David. Blatter's adjustment was to replace Mozgov with Iman. Shambaught, Jean Tristan. Thompson takes the center position. He wants to improve the team's mobility, and the Heat's offensive and defensive transitions will definitely go up a notch after Addison comes on the court, so Blatter hopes the Cavaliers will respond accordingly. As for the problem of protecting the basket, it can only be put back for the time being, compared to Whiteside's threat to the Cavaliers' interior line, or the Miamins' defensive counterattack is more lethal.

After receiving the ball from the referee on the baseline, Addison habitually patted it, and then his center of gravity sank and rose, and he pulled the ball out with his left hand. The free throw was hit steadily, Addison smacked his lips, he has not missed a free throw since entering the playoffs, and I am afraid that unless the head coach sets up the tactic of making him deliberately not make free throws, his record will continue.

The two teams that have switched to each other in a targeted lineup have launched a back and forth offensive and defensive confrontation, and several cores of both teams are in quite good shape tonight, although Irving is not as smooth as before under Addison's defense, but the Cavaliers point guard who has found his touch is still not easy to restrict. The two sides ended the halftime tied at 58-55, with the Heat trailing the Cavaliers by three points on the road.

Carey. After all, Irving still got 20 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists in the half, and officially announced his strong rebound after two consecutive games of poor performance; LeBron. James had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and he also showed his all-round skills excellently. Led by these two, the Cavaliers' Royal Shooters also performed well, but the shortcomings were still on the weak bench, with the exception of Tristan. No one in Thompson's rotation has yet to score.

The Heat continued to maintain their multi-point flowering situation, Addison 14 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal, Whiteside 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, Luer. Deng had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Johnson and McRoberts also scored in double figures.

The evenly matched situation seems to be the best interpretation of the fighting scene between the two sides in the first half.
