Chapter 306: Interstitial Conversation

At 51:48, the first half of Finals G1 ended with such a score, and the Warriors temporarily trailed the Cavaliers by 2 points at home. At one point they trailed by as many as 10 points at 19:29 in the first quarter, but as Addison expected, in the second quarter, David Brown. Blatter had to switch to a rotating lineup for the sake of the fitness of the two cores, and the situation between the two sides reversed in an instant. The Warriors' lively second team came close to eating their opponents alive on the court, and it was after Blatter brought Irving to Tristan. Thompson continued to stay on the court in the case of the result...... Especially Andrey. Iguodala is in amazing form and faces Iman. Shambaugh, JR. Smith and others took turns defending but were unrestrained, scoring 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-5 shooting in the first half, and were the best players in the bench lineup and even the whole team.

It seems to have been stimulated by the atmosphere of the finals, LeBron. James's desire to shoot has risen wildly compared to the past, with 18 shots in the first half alone, hitting 8 goals, contributing 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists; And Carey. Irving does seem to be limited by a knee injury, his breakthrough and change of direction are not as agile and casual as before, and he only scored 10 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-9 shooting in the first half. Even so, the duo combined to score more than half of the team's scores, proving that the Clevelands rely heavily on the main force and even the core, and their bench players had no scoring stats at all, including J.R. Smith on 0-of-6 shooting......

"Do you want to make a bet, buddy?" Addison stretched and looked at Jersey beside him. Granger blinked, "The Warriors won this game, but the difference between the two sides will not exceed 10 points, and that's my bet." If I lose, I'll not only give you $50, but I'll also treat you and Erin to a sumptuous dinner in the evening, at all the restaurants in Auckland. ”

Granger raised his eyebrows, he didn't see any obvious advantage in this game, and the two teams were evenly matched at best.

"You're so confident? I'll admit that the Aucklanders do have a set, but they haven't shown to be overwhelmingly strong...... Ell, since you've said so, I'll take a gamble too. $50 plus dinner is fine, but I don't think you'll be able to snatch that from me that easily. ”

The corners of Addison's mouth rose with a bit of ease, if the first few minutes of the first quarter, the Warriors were still in a state of being stunned by LBJ, and they were still adopting the tactics of wrapping and defending James, he really didn't dare to determine who would win or lose. But now Steve. Kerr has clearly found a way to fight back on the offensive end, and the Warriors players have also shaken off the state of being suppressed to the point of being dazed, and more importantly, they have begun to take turns with several good forward players to take turns defending LeBron. James' defensive strategy...... Seeing this, Addison felt in his heart that the Warriors had grasped the center of gravity in this game.

Clay. Thompson, Harrison. Barnes, Drummond. Green and Andre. Iguodala, it is not for nothing that the Warriors have hoarded a large number of 6-foot-8" wing players with excellent offense and defense through drafts and trades over the years, and it can even be said that the team's uniform team has foreseen that this era is increasingly a point guard with high offensive attributes and an all-around wing with excellent passing ability. At least in recent years, for all teams that want to win championships, LeBron . James is a tough opponent they have to face, but how can they most effectively limit this dominant player to a less dominant level? The San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks have used three Finals as a demonstration of the league's only response β€” the rotation of good wings (if you have Cooy. For a terrifying defensive player like Leonard, then consider a one-man targeted defense) plus a reliable help defense on the inside.

When Kerr set up the bag defense before, Addison simply thought that this guy was extremely stupid, and there are two players in the league who are the least able to be limited by the bag - simply put, Kobe. Bryant type and LeBron. James type. Thankfully, a five-minute failed attempt allowed him to quickly change his defensive strategy, and the defense against the Cleveland Cavaliers quickly took shape. He has so many offensive and defensive strikers, and Andrew Anderson. Bogut, a competent defensive center, will he still have the New Year if he doesn't sacrifice this defensive formation?

It was evident that LBJ's offensive efficiency had dropped after the rotational attritional defense, and the aggressive offense in the first few minutes of the first quarter had turned into a large number of exhausting shots, and the physical strength also decreased.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If the Heat had four or more wingers who were defensive and in their prime, I might be able to lead the team to a victory over the Clevelands......" Addison said suddenly, not complaining or sighing, but just sounding emotionless, as if telling some established fact. Hearing this, Granger next to him was at a loss for a while, it was the team that broke into the finals, please can you not say as if the other party is a passerby who can get it with one more opportunity......

"Forget it, it's redundant to talk about it now." Addison shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I'm going to buy some more drinks, do you want them?" What about you? ”

He turned to Jessica and Krystal, who were sitting in the back row, who had been watching the first half of the game, but thankfully the finals were full of sparks, otherwise they would have been bored. Girls who don't know basketball watch the game to see the goal...... This is the reason why most girls can still watch the game and see the elation when they can't understand the situation on the court, after all, there are so many more goals in basketball than in football......

"Wait for me, I'll go with you." Krystal raised his hand as if answering a question, then stood up and straightened his shirt, a harmless smile on his somewhat cold cheeks. The two sisters are the type of people who have unconsciously chilled expressions when they are calm, but they can laugh very cutely, like the warm sunshine that suddenly blooms in winter, and people can't help but feel good about them.

Addison's head tilted slightly, his hands in his trouser pockets, and his mouth sly: "Well, I like to walk with beautiful girls, it's much better than going out with a big guy like Jersey to breathe." ”

Jersey. Granger rolled his eyes speechlessly, and Joe next to him laughed, feeling that Addison's personality seemed to be noticeably more cheerful since he had regained his ability to speak. Although he is still a person who doesn't like to joke a lot on weekdays, at least the number of jokes has increased significantly, and he won't be so shy and helpless in the face of beautiful girls.

Jessica, on the other hand, pursed her pink lower lip with some dissatisfaction, she knew her sister well, and this girl never actively talked to people who were still relatively strangers. She had some bad premonitions, and Krystal might take this opportunity to talk to Addison about herself, and probably even make up an idol drama version with more fuel and vinegar......

But she didn't have time to stop it, because the two men had already walked away, and walked down the audience and down the aisle to the outside of the court.

"What do you like to drink? Gatorade? Dr Pepper? Or Mont De? Addison smiled and picked in front of the excited vending machine, and in the gentlemanly style of taking care of women, he asked Krystal, who had a slightly unnatural expression, "Do you like to drink canned coffee?" I'm not interested in coffee at all, but it seems like a lot of people like it. ”

"I can drink anything, just Gatorade......" Krystal scratched at her long straight black hair, living in the K-pop circle for years had made her not used to a boy who was a year younger than herself talking so casually, even though she was also Asian-American.

"That's Gatorade, sports drinks are a good thing, and I've always thought that drinking this is much healthier than drinking any kind of coffee." Addison stuffed the coin into the slot, and he found it amusing to be a girl of his age. The other party obviously had something to say, but he hesitated all the time, and all these thoughts were unconsciously expressed on his face. Addison's life in Harlem was the most skillful skill to hide all his thoughts under the surface, and he wondered how a girl in the entertainment industry could be so accustomed to showing her expression on her face.

"Hey, Addison...... You, come along? Krystal, who finally couldn't help it, asked the big boy next to her, and she frowned slightly when she talked about it.

β€œTaylorοΌŸοΌŸβ€ Addison's eyes widened a little dazedly, remembering the young Asian-American businessman he had met at All-Star, "Ah...... Why didn't I see that ...... What about successful people? ”

"Because that guy didn't have much interest in basketball at all, my sister and I only wanted to go back to Oakland to watch the finals for the two of us, but that guy had to come along, and arranged a group of speechless security teams." Krystal's tone showed a strong rejection and annoyance, a completely unfavorable attitude, "It's a good thing he didn't come to the stadium, it's because I gave him a cold face that he didn't follow." Maybe next time, that guy's excuse and stalking skills are very strong. ”

The girl observed Addison's expression as she spoke, but unfortunately she didn't see any of the mood swings she wanted to see on the other person's face. Addison's calm face had always been the same chuckling, and he was also more repulsive, and he didn't let his expression change in disgust.

"If you don't want him to follow him to the court next time, you can continue to put on a cold face...... Trust me, you're as powerful as your sister in this regard. ”

"Ah!!h Krystal pondered the meaning of the other party's words for a few seconds, and then realized that Addison was teasing her and Jessica's cold faces, and couldn't help but blush with annoyance and embarrassment, "What are you kidding at this time?" I'm talking to you about something very serious, very serious! ”

"I'm serious, Krystal, I'm not kidding you...... Well, I've dealt with that guy, and while I don't feel much about him as a friend, he's at least a gentlemanly person. A person like him may express feelings or take action very directly, but he will definitely have a lot of respect for women's choices, especially those he likes. Addison restrained his playful expression and said calmly to the girl.

Krystal was still frowning when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he seemed to accept Addison's statement a little, but still wrinkled his nose angrily at him: "...... What do you know about this little guy who is not yet 20 years old......"

Addison's sudden tsundere reaction made the corners of Addison's mouth raise again, and he handed the girl a bottle of drink and led her towards the court.

"And you underestimate your sister too much. Jessica's experience and skills in dealing with people are far more powerful than you think, and the so-called 'successful people' are likely to be played around by your sister as a partner, and it will all end up being a ......."
