The last month of 2014 arrived, and on December 1, the Heat traveled to Washington, D.C., on an airliner to take on the Washington Wizards.

The Wizards, who had been defeated in Miami, were determined to get revenge in this game, and the main scoring guard Bradley. Beal has also returned from injury, but the Heat, who have been rested, are also full of fighting spirit to try to retain their third place in the East.

Dwyan. Wade seems to want to educate Bradley. How does Beal become an excellent scoring guard, he broke out in a hot form this game, scoring 27 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal on 11-of-17 shooting in 32 minutes of playing time, and told Beal what 'ginger is still old and spicy' with facts and actions.

With the excellent performance of the team's spirit, the Heat defeated the Wizards 98-92 on the road. John. Both Wall and Addison tried to contain their opponents as much as possible during the match, but neither played as well as they could have done. Wall finished with 16 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds on 5-of-14 shooting; Addison finished with 13 points, eight assists and five rebounds on 4-of-11 shooting.

Hassan, who has just joined the team. Whiteside did not play in this game, and Spoelstra intends to familiarize him with the team's tactics in training before slowly starting to schedule his playing time.

After the victory over the Wizards, the Heat improved their record to 10-5 and continued to secure their third place in the East.

On December 2, the NBA officially announced the winner of the best rookie in the East and West in the first month of the 2014-15 season. Wiggins, the Canadian Flyers, averaged 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in November, while the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was Andyson Ann, who averaged 16.1 points, 9.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 0.3 blocks per game, beating Jabari Parker to the accolade.

In order to encourage Addison, the Heat's uniform team deliberately arranged a large-scale celebration ceremony before the team returned to the home game. To the cheers of the Miami fans, Dwyan. Wade personally presented the crystal clear little trophy to Addison, which was held high by the Chinese rookie.

"Congratulations, Eddie, I know I haven't even taken this thing......," Wade teased with a smile, as he was in his rookie season when all of the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month was won by LeBron. James has it all.

However, the Rookie of the Year honor did not bring good luck to the team, as they lost 104-109 at home to the visiting Atlanta Hawks, and were beaten home and away by their opponents this season.

Al. Horford went crazy for a big double-double of 32 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. Millsap had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and the Heat were so suppressed on the defensive end that they couldn't lift their heads at all.

Whiteside was very hot on the bench to see that the team's interior defense was useless, but Spoelstra felt that he was not yet familiar with the team's tactics, so he still did not give Whiteside playing time in this game.

Not getting a minute of playing time in two consecutive games made Whiteside feel a little depressed, but in Addison and Sam. At Bernie's suggestion, he continued to train seriously to adapt to the team's tactics.

This situation was seen by Spoelstra, and the Filipino coach appreciated Whiteside's down-to-earth training more than Bosh, whose technical style had long been set and his training was subconsciously careless.

So in the next game against the Bucks on the road, Spoelstra advanced his plan and gave Whiteside about seven or eight minutes of playing time.

Whiteside, who finally got his chance, looked very aggressive, although his running and passing at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends were still jerky, but he made excellent use of his physical strength and agility, and even gave his opponent three big hats in a row in seven minutes!

Larry. Sanders and Antetokounmpo tried to force the little-known center one after another, but Whiteside responded with a strong hot pot. Even Jabari. Parker's air-cut layup was directly blocked by the Heat center who quickly returned from the high post!

Jason. Kidd was stunned from the sidelines, he didn't know where the Heat signed such a big man with excellent athleticism and good at protecting the basket, and for a while, Miami's restricted area turned from a black hole to a no-fly zone!

Not only him, but even the players of the Heat team were looking at each other, and they didn't expect that this center who had been cut in a row would play a crazy performance in just a few minutes!

Although he didn't score, Whiteside grabbed five rebounds and three blocks in just seven minutes, and his time on the court was almost the best for the Heat to protect the basket.

In the end, the Heat won 107-97 on the road in Milwaukee, and Kidd still greeted Addison after the game. However, Spoelstra was prepared this time and immediately asked Wade to bring the Chinese rookie back to the locker room.

***

With 11 wins and 6 losses, the Heat's record has been stable, but due to the lack of games, they were overtaken by the Washington Wizards and fell to fourth place in the East.

As they lamented the ensuing schedule, the Heat were once again on a first-class American Airlines flight, this time heading to Memphis, a city that wasn't much noticed.

Since Mark. Gasol and Zach. Since the inception of the Randolph black-and-white interior pairing, the Memphis Grizzlies have played the role of a powerhouse in the West. But the giants have never received the same level of attention as their strength, and the remote and sparsely populated Memphis has not been able to bring in outstanding ratings and high advertising revenue, and even the league itself has not welcomed this team very well.

The Memphis can break into the playoffs every year, but they play the role of accompanying the prince to study on this stage every year. One championship team after another has climbed this mountain and marched towards the battlefield of the highest honors.

Even so, no one can deny the strength of the Memphis Grizzlies, and no opponent dares to underestimate this group of terrifying fighters with a balanced strength inside and outside.

The Grizzlies' biggest feature is their suffocating defense, with a shadowy blockade on the outside and a clever and solid basket guard on the inside. The style of this team may not be flashy or exciting, but it is definitely calm and stable.

Just like the game between Addison and the Grizzlies in the preseason, it was the first time that a Chinese rookie experienced the embarrassment of being watched on the court. Unlike the absolute gap in strength that was felt against the Warriors, it was replaced by Mike. Conley and Tony. The embarrassment of Aaron's taking turns marking was the first time Addison felt.

Admittedly, the defensive pressure he was under in that game was so great, Dwyan. Wade's rotation is also a little bit of a reason. In this game, the 'Flash' is at full strength, and Addison should be under much less pressure.

"You say, how much playing time will the coach give me in this game??" Whiteside, who sat next to Addison, pondered the question for almost half an hour, sometimes muttering to himself and sometimes whispering to the Chinese point guard.

Addison couldn't help but laugh and patted Whiteside on the shoulder in relief.

Spoelstra is not a fool, and he won't be unaware of how important the positivity and basket protection that Whiteside showed in the last game is to the current Heat. Addison was sure that the big man next to him would only get longer and longer.

- The game is about to start, right? Are you in the locker room now?

Addison, who had just finished warming up, took out his mobile phone and glanced at it casually, and found that there was a message from a friend in the penguin software he had just registered.

The Chinese rookie Penguin has only one friend, the underage girl who took a photo with her that day, Lin Xiaoxiao, who is still in high school. Ever since Addison registered a penguin account on his phone, the two of them have been friends with each other and have always chatted on it from time to time.

- How do you know? That's right......

- Guess what, your game is live on TX in China.

- Live streaming? This game is not broadcast live in the United States, right?

- There's no national live broadcast, but TX bought the rights to stream your game.

- That's pretty good, but ...... Aren't you supposed to be in class right now in China?

- yes, I secretly watched the live broadcast on my phone in the classroom.

- Study hard, Mr. Lin, how can you watch the game during class......

- Cut, a lot of people in our class are secretly watching, and the teacher can't find out if you turn off the sound.

Addison blinked, and the corners of his mouth curled. - How? Do a lot of people in your class like to watch me play?

- Isn't it just our class...... Addison, you should really come to China and see how popular you are here.

China, Addison silently recited this name in his heart, and sooner or later he would return to his homeland, to the land where his blood was......

Spoelstra pushed open the locker room door and walked in, Addison sent a message to Lin Xiaoxiao and put his phone back in the closet, he was now going to focus all his energy on the game.

Spoelstra is still a regular starting lineup in this game, and he will not change the starting interior configuration until Whiteside is not fully familiar with the Heat's tactical system. However, after seeing Whiteside's defensive quality in the last game, Spoelstra has decided to gradually increase his playing time.

Compared to Madison Center or Staples Field, FedEx Arena, the Grizzlies' home stadium, does look a bit shabby. However, the Memphis people are tough and tough, and before the game even started, the surging noise lingered, making it quite the momentum of the devil's home field.

"Seriously, I'd rather play a day's fast break with the Golden State than burn out with the Grizzlies here round by round." Wade moved his limbs and couldn't help but sigh.

Chris. Bosh looked at Mark on the other side, who was more than a lap stronger than himself. Gasol and Zach. Randolph, with a sad face, couldn't help himself......

The referee walked to the center of the court and told the players on both sides the rules of the game, then blew the whistle and threw the basketball high into the air.

One black and one white, the two inner lines jumped up at the same time!

This game is destined to be extremely difficult!
