Chapter Twenty-Three: Fight Me Alone

At the airport, Addison browsed the web aimlessly.

On the day of the draft, Jabari. Parker's words made him a little concerned, Addison was about to be 19 years old after all, and he, like young people of the same age, was very concerned about the opposite sex.

Addison naturally can't be a good person, he also likes beautiful girls, and he also had a crush on the class girl in high school. However, perhaps because of his Asian ancestry, Addison has always preferred Asian girls with long black hair and fair skin compared to blonde and blue-eyed European and American girls.

As a Chinese-American, Addison has been following the news in China. He likes the girl idol group SNH48, which has become famous in China in the past two years, because there are many beautiful girls with long and straight black in it......

- I like oriental girls, they have long hair, they don't have to be too pretty, they just need to be cute. You don't have to know how to cook or anything like that, as long as you can live quietly with me for the rest of your life.

Thinking about it, Addison, on a whim, typed out his mate selection criteria on his mobile phone, nodding his head incessantly while playing.

"So you like this style of women, rookie." A joking voice suddenly came from behind him, which made Addison, who was full of fantasies, tremble and almost threw his phone out.

Wade, who went to buy two hot dogs, threw one to the boy, and then sat down with a smile: "I can't see it, you're not 19 years old, how can you live and think like an old man??" ”

Old man?? Addison wrinkled the bridge of his nose, not understanding what his team boss meant.

"I mean, aren't you supposed to like curvy, hot enough women at your age??" Wade gestured with his hands in the air, "Look at Clay. Thompson's girlfriend, you know what it means to be happy. ”

That's your **** standard, right...... Addison complained silently in his heart, picked up his phone and edited a line of words, and put it in front of Wade's eyes.

- So, what type of woman do you like, boss?

The boy knew very well that Wade had a family, and his current wife, Union, was still a black beauty who was well-known in Hollywood, so he was looking forward to the other party's answer.

However, these things obviously can't stumble on the 'Flash' who has been in the celebrity circle for many years, and this is all when he faced Lamar in his rookie season. Odom and Mourning play the rest of the trick.

"I like my wife's like that." Wade laughed gentlemanly as if he was facing an ESPN media interview, or the famously sharp "Oprah Show."

***

The group arrived at training camp in Chicago and rested for only one day before returning to training.

The people who participated in Wade's training camp were basically minors who had not yet gone to college, and they were all guards, after all, Wade was also a defender, although his ability to play in the low post was very good.

Addison naturally doesn't need to be trained in this basic ability, so he usually takes up a half of the court by himself and continues his '666 training plan' that has been modified by the Heat's uniform team.

For the first time, Wade saw firsthand how paranoid the rookie is about training, and he must make 100% of the 3,000 shots he must make every day, even if it is only one or two mistakes.

"You're right, Rutgers, this kid is a crazy guy in this regard." During the break, Wade sighed to the trainer, "I have seen a lot of players who train hard, but they are hard to the point of perversion...... Aside from the paranoid in Los Angeles, this is the second I've seen. ”

Addison was in the middle of a running jump shot, and the boy didn't bother to wipe the sweat running down his forehead, and quickly ran to the left near the corner to receive a pass from the baseline staff.

Jump straight with your legs, drag the basketball with your raised arms, and throw it with a shake of your wrist......

"Whew!!" As a result, Addison's extensive training these days was worth it, and the basketball played a characteristic inward rotation to draw a curved arc and plunged headlong into the net basket.

The boy retreated to the three-point line in the same direction with a blank face and received the pass again, but this time he couldn't do so, and the basketball that spun inside smashed into the side basket and bounced out.

Addison, still flattening his cheeks, continued to catch the ball in the same position, jumped up and shot, and still missed.

The third time, the boy stabilized his position, and then jumped up again without hesitation, and the ball slid through a sleek and steep arc to settle steadily, sending a white spray.

"Hey, Add!!" Seeing this, Wade suddenly strode towards the boy's training half, "It's not fun to practice like this...... Come and fight me alone, right?? ”

All the young players in the training camp instantly became excited, and they gathered like sharks smelling blood. These little guys are often following the North American basketball world, and they all know a little about this year's NCAA Final Four MOP Addison.

Bullfight heads-up between superstar 'The Flash' Wade and Final Four MOP Addison??!! This kind of live duel is simply exciting for them, and many people have even taken out their mobile phones and started shooting.

Addison glanced at Wade, and the latecomer nodded unrefusingly. He had long wanted to go head-to-head with a super-guard of Wade's caliber to test how big the gap between himself and these emperor superstars really was.

"Come on, rookie, how about ten balls??" Wade seemed interested in the heads-up, moving his limbs as he walked in front of the boy.

- No problem. Addison raised the corners of his mouth, and then sent the ball directly to Wade, allowing the opponent to attack first.

Arrogant guy!! Everyone in the training camp who saw this scene had such an idea, and no one expected that Addison would be facing Dwyan. Wade still dared to give up the first offensive advantage to his opponent, didn't he know that he was facing one of the strongest defenders in the top league?!

But that's because of Addison's personality, and his paranoia about basketball means that boys will never be the first to attack in heads-up, even if his opponent is Jordan in his prime.

Wade was not annoyed at all, took the serve and began to dribble slowly and skillfully at the top of the three-point line, while gradually lowering his center of gravity: "Comeon, rookie, let the pundits of the top league teach you how to attack......

Addison was silent, his delicate eyes half-narrowed, numb and silent as if he hadn't woken up, staring at the SuperStar in front of him emptyly.

Although he was selected for the All-American defensive team in the NCAA, the boy did not have the slightest confidence in the face of Wade, who was dribbling at an irregular pace.

Keep your eyes on the shoulders and waist of 'The Flash', ready to prevent him from getting up to speed. Although Wade's explosiveness has decreased with age, it is still not to be underestimated.

Wade made a couple of crotch dribbles in a row, his shoulders suddenly shook, and the dribble broke quickly to the right. Addison, who was focused, made the right prediction and immediately followed, but the strength of Wade's upper body made him quite uncomfortable.

Weighing in at nearly 220 pounds (100 kilograms), 'The Flash' weighed more than 20 kilograms more than Addison, and even though the boy's upper body strength was similar, he fell behind in the confrontation with Wade.

What's more, the current Wade has not used 100% of his confrontation power at all, and has used about 7% at most......

'The Flash' made a sudden stop as he accelerated to the free throw line and pulled the ball back with his right hand. Such a skillful pull-ball stop is extremely rare in the NCAA, so much so that Addison did not expect it at all, and he did not have time to retract his center of gravity and footsteps.

Wade took advantage of the tight space to jump, leaned back slightly to throw the ball, and the ball went into the net.

"Are you sure you're an NCAA mop? Your defensive footwork moves are completely purposeless," the 'Flash', who has been in the NBA for many years, naturally won't let go of this opportunity to spew trash, but he is very right, "Or do you mean that players in the college league don't use pull-up jump shots anymore, rookie??" ”

Addison didn't react to the team's boss's banter and took the dropped basketball and re-handed it to the other party.

- 9 balls left......

***

After re-serving, Addison didn't opt to stick it all the way up, but instead took a step at the top of the arc.

If Dwyan. If Wade has any shortcomings on the offensive end, it's that he's playing from beyond the three-point line, and D.Wade's three-point shooting percentage has been hovering around 30% in recent seasons. Although there has been slow progress, it is still his biggest offensive blind spot.

No matter how confident Wade is, he won't dare to pull out his hand from beyond the three-point line when the defender is one step away from him......

This time, Wade did the same, and after a few dribbles, he accelerated to the right side to break through. This time, though, with a cushion, Addison didn't lose his position, and with the right anticipation, he kept up with the other man's footsteps and completed the close fit around 15 feet, not giving Wade the slightest room to change direction.

While Wade hasn't fully exploited his tonnage advantage to attack, it's too much for a superstar like him to overwhelm his opponent in heads-up.

Addison immediately used some small movements, especially the pressure on Wade's knee from the side, which made 'The Flash' a little overwhelmed. Uncomfortable, Wade had to slowly dribble the ball outside the three-point line, and Addison followed closely without landing a single step.

Just when Wade was about to withdraw from the three-point line, he slammed the ball, and his body seemed to be turning to the basket again, Addison stepped forward and took a step to prevent the opponent from facing the basket, but he didn't expect Wade to change hands with the momentum, and then quickly turned in the other direction to wipe Addison straight to the basket.

"Bang !!" Addison, who didn't have time to chase the defense, watched Wade complete the one-handed slam and felt the difference between the NCAA and the top leagues more and more.

"That's not enough to support you to defend well, rookie, it's not like there's no faster and stronger guy in this league than me." Wade, who completed the offense, did not continue to spew trash talk, but said with deep meaning.

The boy still held his eyes and did not react, and sent the ball to Wade again, but his mind filtered through the previous two rounds like a fast-moving supercomputer.

Addison was no longer just waiting in a defensive posture this time, his slender arms began to shake in front of Wade's eyes, interfering with the Flash's vision in the penalty area, and at the same time all his attention was focused, and the light in his half-squinted eyes was so sharp that it seemed to tear flesh apart.

Addison, who was fully engaged, finally made Wade feel some pressure, and he dribbled carefully, knowing that the boy in front of him was the 'legendary scissorman' of the NCAA.

In fact, in this case, Wade can take the opponent to the low post and attack with his back, but he is not willing to use his tonnage and strength to bully the skinny Addison, and this is not a playoff arena.

After thinking about it, Wade still chose to break through, and this time after taking two steps forward against Addison, he suddenly changed hands behind his back, and the center of gravity of his waist shook to the left. The shaking seemed to cause Addison to make a mistake in his judgment, and his footsteps quickly shifted half a step sideways. Wade immediately made a forward change of hands, quickly pulled back his center of gravity and cut into the box from the right side.

It seemed that this time the breakthrough was a little too easy...... 'The Flash' suddenly felt that something was not right, and in the first two rounds he found that Addison's defensive prediction was very accurate, not like the type who would be so easily shaken.

"Smack!!" A crisp sound made Wade's cranial nerves tense instantly, and his right hand slapped into the air, empty for a while.

It turned out to be this rookie's defensive trap!! Addison deliberately made a gap for Wade to break through, and then used his strong explosive power to go around the opponent's side and back to steal Wade's basketball directly from behind!!

Insidious rookie ...... D. Wade saw the dark side of this quiet Chinese kid who was the opposite of what he looked like, and this time the deliberately arranged back-to-back steal even the experienced Wade fell into a trap......

Eddison caught up with the basketball knife for the first time, and then quickly dribbled to the three-point line, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile.

Wade shook his head and walked to the defensive position, opened his 6-foot-11 terrifying armspan, and muttered intently, "Well done, rookie." ”
