Nearly 10 minutes into the first quarter, Spoelstra replaced Whiteside, Ruhr. Deng and Daniel. Granger, will Alexie. Atkinsa, McRoberts, and Taylor. Johnson comes on as a substitute. Since entering the playoffs, the Heat have been much more cautious in their use of the second team than they were in the regular season, after all, their bench depth is good, but not to the point where the Spurs' main bench is almost indistinguishable. Ennis and Addison remained on the court, one of them was responsible for keeping an eye on the LBJ and the other was responsible for leading the team's offense, and it became almost normal for the two to play the first quarter after reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals.

That's why Spoelstra will replace McRoberts, who is weaker on the defensive end, in order to let this playmaker help Addison share part of the organizational tasks, so that the Chinese point guard can be more sharply involved in the offense.

The Heat entered the rotation with an eight-point lead. Blatter also made adjustments accordingly, adding Carey. Owen and others were replaced, and the inside line became Tristan. Thompson and James. Jones' partner's centerless formation. Jr. Smith replaced Iman Shambaugh and stepped up the flanks. Of course LeBron. James continues to stay on the court, David. Blatter basically played in a nine-man rotation in the playoffs, and LBJ's average of more than 40 minutes per game as the sole playmaker was essential.

McRoberts came on to great effect, Addison voluntarily surrendered a portion of the ball and sought to block and cooperate with the opponent. McRoberts pulled up high after covering and picked up Addison's pass, James. Jones and Iman. Shambaugh's defensive attention was quickly drawn, but the white man immediately cut through the Cavaliers' defense with a through-pass inside. Shambaugh's defensive negligence allowed Addison's off-ball run to be much smoother, and he easily received a pass from McRoberts in the process of cutting straight to the basket, and killed the penalty area to cause Tristan. Thompson defensive foul.

"Addison's off-ball offense has been overlooked, but he's definitely one of the hardest working point guards I've ever seen after the ball. Although not yet like Stephen. Curry has developed a complete off-ball offensive system, but his finish under the basket and good mid-range shooting ability are enough to support him to play a brilliant off-ball score. "Hubby. Brown nodded in praise of the performance of the Chinese point guard, "Especially with a playful interior partner like McRoberts, Addison can run with his hands and feet free...... Of course, I'm talking about the time when the rotation is like this and the defensive intensity is low. ”

"Maybe the Cavaliers could consider bringing in an interior player like McRoberts who is good at playmaking, so that the burden on LBJ's shoulders might be easier, and now everyone knows that James is single-handedly carrying out the team's organization, scoring, and even defensive tasks. Carey. Irving's presence could help him take the scoring off the shoulders, but there's not much the offensive point guard can do right now, both playmaking and defensively. "Bill. Wharton smiled and suggested to the Cavaliers' uniform team, "The signing of McRoberts has benefited the Heat so far, and a contract that is less than mid-range can actually net an excellent interior player who leads the second team offense and even helps the core point guard share the pressure...... When the Charlottes dropped on McRoberts, they certainly didn't expect him to have a chance to prove himself in Miami. ”

Addison, who stood at the free throw line, hit two free throws to re-extend the margin to 10 points. However, this score did not last long, and LeBron. James broke through to the free throw line with the ball and suddenly split the ball in the left corner. Jones picked up the ball and pulled up in the bottom corner to shoot and cut a three-pointer for the Cavaliers.

That's what Jones has done since he entered the league, whether it's as a power forward or a small forward, all he does is stand in the bottom corner and wait for the ball to come and shoot through the heart. Although his shooting percentage has become more and more inconsistent in the past two seasons, and his shooting percentage is less than 40% this season, the experience and calm of the veteran in key moments have helped him and helped the team to narrow the gap back to double digits.

McRoberts' shortcomings on the defensive end of the pitch were evident as he was slow on his feet and struggled to get out of the box after the opponent pulled up from outside the box. However, Spoelstra didn't care about that, and he brought McRoberts on the pitch to let the player attack, and he made the team's defensive demands moderately less during the rotation.

Switching offense and defense, Addison dribbled across the half-court and encountered a tangled defense by Dellavedova, and the Australian's bite intensity was stronger than that of Kerry. Owen is much taller, even more than Iman. Champot has been as good as that. Addison was not interested in battling his opponent at the top of the arc and was running out of time before the end of the first quarter, hoping to maintain a double-digit lead to finish the first quarter as much as possible.

The basketball is slapped from the crotch to the left, and the shoulder shakes to the left. Dellavedova is not an easy player, and although he is not sure of Addison's movements, he only allows his right leg to move half a step to the side, while lowering his center of gravity and ready to get up at any time. Addison didn't think that his shoulder bogus could fool Dellavedova, he just wanted the moment when his opponent's center of gravity was pressed. The basketball in the left hand suddenly flew out of the palm of the hand at the moment the opponent reacted, and crossed over the side of Dellavedova and went straight to the free throw line.

McRoberts just came out of the paint and ran to the free throw line to pick up the pass. James. Jones was even slower than McRoberts, and he couldn't interfere with his opponent's catch in time and got stuck behind him. McRoberts pressed his left side against Jones, and his upper body leaned slightly to attack the penalty area...... To tell the truth, this big forward, who is not very physical, still has some ability to attack with the ball.

Addison's passing out made Dellavedova relax slightly, and most of his vigilance was still focused on the Chinese point guard with the ball in his hand. But Addison quickly changed direction and ran towards the right side of the three-point line the next moment he passed the ball, which caught the slightly relaxed Dellavedova off guard, and he turned his focus and hurried to catch up.

Taylor on the right. Johnson picked up from the flank in time and made a cover to keep Dlavedova out. Addison continued to run to the right flank, and J.R. Smith had to change the target to make up for it, but before he could catch up two steps, he hit a tall and long body and was firmly blocked in place.

"Whiteside, who raised the box, blocked JR, and Addison cut to the three-point line from the right!!"

McRoberts, who was attacking from the high post, was waiting for this moment, and he half-sidedly passed the basketball to the right side of the 45° square, where Addison was getting out of the defense and running out of the air! The point guard who received the basketball stopped going deep into the box, just stopped and jumped up in the right corner, held up the basketball with his left hand and moved to the basket 17 feet away!

"!!Shh A mid-range jumper was scored steadily, and Tristan. Thompson's symbolic interference didn't make any difference, just adding another bit of objectivity to Addison's shot. The cheers at the American Airlines Arena were as high-pitched and enthusiastic as ever, and Addison's outstanding form gave them tremendous confidence.

With this jumper, Addison has 9 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter...... Barring no surprises, it's going to be another data night for him. Drexler raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, this could also be a victory night for the Heat, at least from the first quarter, it seems that they are quite hot." ”

"The Cleveland people can't cut off the Heat's pick-and-roll like they did in the last game, and Addison is not just playing well on his own in this game, he's leading the team to destroy the opponent." Bill. Wharton looked at the Heat's players who were more active on the court, "This South Coast team desperate for victory looked unstoppable tonight, and they dared to tear apart any enemy that prevented them from winning. ”

“o…… They were really great tonight! "Chris lying in a hospital bed. Bosh sighed with interest as he poured dried fruit into his mouth, "I was still thinking about whether the team's No. 4 position would collapse, and it seems that Eric has solved this problem well." ”

Wade, who sat on the edge of the hospital bed, smiled and shrugged his shoulders, he had said goodbye to the hospital bed now, but he still wore a thick protective gear on his legs and needed to walk with a cane. These two people have an internal injury and an external injury, and there is always a different kind of funny feeling when they get together, and the two of them feel it especially obviously.

"Eric has proven himself a long time ago, hasn't he? What surprised me the most was Add...... I knew he was good, I just didn't expect him to be so good. The kid is ready to lead the team and did well in the first season of his career...... Looking back, I had to stand behind Odom and Butler in my rookie season and wait to see what they could teach me. ”

Bosh glanced at Wade, who had a calm expression, and suddenly laughed. He patted his teammate on the shoulder and said in a subtle tone: "Atch your back, bro!" The newcomers are catching up, and they may have already run ahead of you while you were recuperating from your injuries and feeling emotional......"

Wade's face flashed gloom and stiffness for a moment, but then he reverted to a mild disapproval. He grabbed a few dried fruits and threw them into his mouth: "I'm 33 years old, man, I'm starting to get old from a professional athlete's point of view. I could feel the stiffness in my knees as I broke through, and the pain and soreness in my shoulders...... Maybe it's God telling me it's time to make a change, to gradually shift my responsibilities from the pitch to the dressing room. Eddie is a nice little guy, he's good in every way, at least I think I can trust him. ”

"Ricky. Davis still 'trusted' LBJ in the first place......" Bosh replied meaningfully, his eyes on the live broadcast on TV.

"Haha, that's two completely different things, Chris." Wade shook his head noncommittally, "I'm not Ricky. Davis, that guy doesn't deserve to be compared to me. The relationship between me and Eddie is less like the relationship between Davis and LeBron, at least I'm not a megalomaniac with a head full of ridiculous ideas, and Eddie is not the pride of heaven who was hailed as the 'chosen one' by the media before he entered the league...... To be honest, I love this relationship between us, really. ”

"Just like teachers and students? Or is it the upper and lower grades? ”

"Hmm...... Just like the predecessor and the successor, or rather, the previous generation and the next generation. ”
