At halftime, the Pelicans led the Heat 56-33.

The defending champions were crushed.

At halftime, Spoelstra sat in the coach's office, looking a little autistic.

You must know that last season, he just led the team to win the championship, and now he is being beaten by the Pelicans like this.

This is really thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.

He took out the technical statistics and looked at them.

Without Bosh and James, the Heat struggled to score, shooting just over 30 percent from the field throughout the first half, with Wade, the highest scorer, scoring just 12 points.

On the Pelicans' side, Tang Tian only contributed 12 points in the half, but the two interior performances were eye-catching.

Whiteside had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Davis had 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.

It's what it feels like to play the Pelicans Big Three.

He watched it for a long time.

Although he himself knows that it will be difficult for the Heat to enter the playoffs this season, he is still unwilling to win the championship just now.

He finally set his sights on Whiteside.

Whiteside only had two fouls in the first half, which was a big difference from last season and even the first game.

This is a point that can be exploited.

That's when assistant coach Fitzdale knocked on the door and came in.

"David, let's do this."

He beckoned Fitzdale over and discussed with him a tactical adjustment for the second half.

Coming back at halftime, the Heat made some changes to their lineup, with Sean Williams replacing Ennis as the starting small forward.

The mood of the fans at the scene has dropped compared to the first half, after all, there was a 15-minute break.

Coming back in the second half, the Heat took the lead.

After Chanmos gave the ball to Wade, he then motioned to open up space.

After waiting for the pull-away, Anderson mentioned the pick-and-roll from beyond the three-point line.

After taking it apart, Wade faced Whiteside.

The Flash started to accelerate to the basket and scored a layup after shaking off Whiteside.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian shook off Williams' dry pull.

Williams is a spacious striker, and his defensive ability is much weaker than Ennis.

However, Spoelstra didn't care on the sidelines, and just signaled Chammos to pay attention to the help defense.

When the Heat attacked the frontcourt, Anderson continued to block Wade from beyond the three-point line, and Wade continued to play Whiteside in a misplaced position.

Tang Tian was pulled to the far end by Williams, and at this time he couldn't help but glance at Spoelstra.

The tactical intent was obvious, it was to hit Whiteside, and it was even possible to foul him.

Sure enough, Wade waited for Whiteside to make a move after breaking through this time.

"Bang!"

But what people didn't expect was that Whiteside gave Wade another big hat!

The scene erupted in cheers and whistles.

The Pelicans really don't want them to rest!

Whiteside got his fifth block and took another "strong" stance.

Single-minded and focused, this past offseason he only practiced defensive and foul control, which has allowed him to improve rapidly in this area.

As for the foul on the Trail Blazers, he was too anxious to prove himself.

Wade shook his head after being covered, his knee affecting him more and more.

The Heat's sideline ball was sent out, and Wade broke through to see Whiteside chasing after him, and turned back to stuff it to McRoberts, who was following up.

McRoberts catches the ball and shoots.

But Whiteside had already turned around, and the two had a confrontation in the air.

"Bang!"

Whiteside relied on his reach to fan his shot back.

Whiteside's 6th block of the game!

A new high in your career!

The ball was grabbed by Ariza after the cover was out, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian received the ball in the front court, jumped up in the free throw line, squeezed away Chanmoss in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The emotions of the fans at the scene reached their peak again!

Spoelstra stood dumbfounded on the sidelines.

His tactical adjustment failed, and Whiteside's ability to control fouls was noticeably much stronger.

Money's frontcourt throw was again picked up by Whiteside, who made his seventh block of the game, but also proved that the Heat's tactical adjustment was a complete failure.

However, Spoelstra has only that number of cards in his hand this season, he became the second woman after Carlisle, and watched the Heat lose like a mountain.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the defending champion Heat 106-84 in the home opener, making it two consecutive wins since the start of the season.

Wade scored a team-high 22 points, but was still powerless.

On the Pelicans' side, Davis had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, Tang Tian had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Holiday and Ariza each scored 13 points.

Whiteside had a heroic performance, contributing a triple-double of 10 points, 12 rebounds and 11 blocks in this game.

Triple double caps!

He became the first player in Pelicans history to unlock this achievement!

After the game, Whiteside was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

He looked very excited.

After holding back for an offseason, he finally played his worth.

And this kind of performance is also the best response to his previous performance by the media.

Tang Tian was chatting with NCAA junior brother Napier at this time, and the disintegration of the Heat's Big Three gave the latter a chance.

As a rookie at the end of the first round, he played 22 minutes and also had 10 points and 3 assists, which was a good performance.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of Davis walking toward Whiteside.

He turned his head curiously.

Then Davis was seen creeping behind Whiteside with a wicked grin.

And then.

"Smack!"

A slap to Whiteside's ass.

Whiteside was talking vigorously when he was slapped and turned his head sharply.

When he saw that it was Davis, he immediately laughed and made small talk.

The relationship between the two is very good, and Whiteside doesn't seem to care about being slapped on the buttocks at all.

Tang Tian shook his head with a wry smile at this time.

Davis, this guy is really bad at learning!

I filmed him before, and now I shoot Whiteside, this is developing in the direction of Ginobili!

But really speaking, this may have something to do with Tang Tian.

If Tang Tian hadn't touched his head all day long, he probably wouldn't have thought about slapping someone else's buttocks.

Wrong wrong! The culprit is still Duncan!

After all, Tang Tian likes to touch his head, and he also wants to take revenge on Duncan!

It's this old guy, who is about to retire, and he has infected others with this "bad habit"!

Back in the dressing room, Whiteside was greeted with another champagne shower from his team-mates.

The Pelicans have had an even better atmosphere this season than they did last season.

After the game, Tang Tian drove back to the villa.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of screaming inside, and thought that the house had been burglarized.

When I went in, I found that it was the lion cub running after the beautiful house.

These two guys, Olsen isn't there, they're really crazy.

However, the next scene caught Tang Tian a little off guard.

After the little lion catches up with the beautiful short, he directly presses it on the ground to snap!

He hurried up to separate the two guys, and only then did he notice that Mei was short of breath and shivering, and looked very scared.

Obviously, they weren't really playing.

Tang Tian looked at the little lion cub a little bit when he looked at it again.

Big brother, you're not just a gender incompatibility, you're not a different species!
