Chapter 581: Pelican Twin Towers (First Update!) )
The scene erupted in cheers.
With a dunk at the start, Whiteside looked quite excited tonight!
After the dunk, Whiteside hung one-handed on the basket for a while, and when he landed, he raised his hands in a "strong" gesture.
He's really holding his back to play this game.
"Defend! Defend! ”
This dunk ignited the emotions of the fans.
As soon as the show began, they spontaneously cheered for the Pelicans.
Wade burst the ball to McRoberts, who flew to the basket.
Anderson stuck Whiteside under the basket, but he somewhat underestimated Whiteside's matchup.
Whiteside was only about 100kg when he first came to the Pelicans, but this summer his weight gain has been completed, and the confrontation has obviously gone up a notch.
With a force, he squeezed Anderson directly away and made up for McRoberts.
"Bang!"
At the moment when McRoberts made a move, he rushed to the ball and flew the ball out of the field with a direct chase hot pot!
The shouts at the scene instantly burst into cheers.
Whiteside's performance at the start of tonight was really different from the last game!
This reminded many fans of the one he was in the preseason.
If he can really play that kind of performance in the regular season, then the inside combination of him and Davis is really a terrifying no-fly zone.
Heat's sideline ball.
This time, it was McRoberts who held the ball in the high post.
McRoberts was a playmaker for the Bobcats last season.
Wade cut to the basket and flew to the basket after a pass from McRoberts.
Whiteside made a block.
However, Wade is not McRoberts, although he is old, his strength is still there, and he dodges a rebound directly in the air with a lever.
That's when something amazing happened.
Whiteside jumped quickly the moment he landed, and his left hand sprinted towards Wade's rebound.
"Bang!"
Another hot pot!
The eyes of the fans at the scene widened.
This is a hot pot feast!
And the key is that the guy who covers it is still Wade!
Spoelstra's brow furrowed.
Whiteside: The speed of the bullet is amazing.
Last season, because Whiteside fouled a lot and basically played on the bench, he didn't feel much.
But one offseason has passed, and the Pelicans' interior strength has obviously risen a notch.
Whiteside hit two hot pots in a row, and the Heat didn't dare to rush to the basket anymore, and Chanmos made a three-pointer from the outside.
But the ball didn't go in.
The Pelicans are a great deterrent in the restricted area, and they can expand the defense without any worries.
In this case, it will also be difficult for the Heat to shoot three-pointers.
Whiteside jammed Anderson under the basket and collected a defensive rebound with an excellent reach.
He was in really good shape tonight, and in the opening few rounds, he had all the stats of points, rebounds, and blocks.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian directly approached Whiteside to block and dismantle.
After dismantling it, he walked out and made a lob pass in.
Whiteside received the ball inside and faced Ennis, and his back was hard chiseled.
Ennis didn't resist, and if he tried to exert his strength again, Whiteside had already jumped.
"Bang!"
Another double-handed clasp.
This guy is going crazy tonight!
Whiteside was quite cool after the dunk, and roared in a burst of rage.
Tang Tian was also in a good mood.
Whiteside's defense and attack in this restricted area have the shadow of the Heat's peak.
He finally doesn't have to wear a four-and-four like he did last season.
4 to 0.
The point difference on the court is not too big, but the pressure on the Heat's side is unusually high.
Although the difference in the strength of the two teams can be seen on paper, the gap after the fight is even greater.
They kind of understand why the Trail Blazers were beaten so badly.
Wade's throw-in hit after the breakthrough broke the scoring drought for the Heat and saved some face for the defending champions.
Looking back, the Heat's defense shrank inside.
They were deducted twice in a row by Whiteside, and they were a little jealous.
Tang Tian changed direction and shook off Ennis's dry pull out of his hand.
"Bang dang!"
The shot was missed.
But Whiteside jumped high inside and flicked the ball out again!
Tang Tian got the ball and then pulled out his hand.
"Huh!"
This time, his dry pull penetrated the net.
Whiteside is in hot form tonight, he can shoot from the outside!
Wade broke through and threw again, Whiteside covered the sky with one hand, and he was forced to increase the arc of his shot.
The ball went past Whiteside's defence, but lost its angle and bounced off the edge.
Davis recovers the basket and protects the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans don't just have Whiteside on the inside!
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian suddenly gave it to Ariza, who made a three-point shot.
"Bang!"
The basketball bounces high on the back edge.
Anderson jammed Whiteside under the basket to prevent him from jumping.
The Heat conceded enough defensive rebounds tonight.
But at this moment, Davis shook off McRoberts and flew to the basket to score a layup!
8 to 2!
Whiteside's hot opening performance attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Heat, which gave Davis a chance!
On the offense of the Heat, Wade suddenly attracted the bag and stuffed it to Anderson under the basket.
Anderson dribbled and prepared for a dunk.
But Whiteside has been quick to recover and has returned to the basket defensive position.
Anderson didn't dunk after the confrontation, and he wanted to get up again with the ball.
"Bang!"
Davis came back and slapped his racket off the court.
Another block from the Pelicans!
In just three minutes, they have already delivered 3 big hot pots!
The eyes of the fans at the scene were straight.
After Whiteside covered Davisgai, the Pelicans' performance on the interior defensive end was too brutal!
They didn't see it in the last game because of Whiteside's foul problem, but in this game, they saw it!
The Heat's sideline ball was sent out, Ennis' outside three-pointer missed, and their offense was once again in vain.
After the confrontation between Whiteside and Anderson, Davis added another defensive rebound.
The Pelicans attack frontcourt.
The Heat's defense is still shrinking.
Tang Tian looked for Davis to play a pick-and-roll, and after the split, he burst inside, further forcing the Heat's defense to shrink, and then returned the ball to Davis near the free throw line.
Davis shot again from mid-range.
"Huh!"
This time he seized his chance and hit it steadily from mid-range.
10 to 2!
Spoelstra was forced to call a timeout.
When the timeout was played, the fans cheered and whistled one after another.
Last season they only had Tang Tian, but now, they still have Davis and Whiteside!
These two interior lines of the Pelicans are strong in offense and defense, and they play the feeling of twin towers!
Tang Tian was also in a good mood at this time.
The Pelicans in history have had the twin-tower combination of Davis and Cousins, and were once called the strongest interior combination in league history by fans.
Now Cousins is not here, but Whiteside and Davis, the offense is a little weaker, but the defense is stronger, and the twin towers are not weak!
ps: I don't hurt before going to bed at night, but when I wake up the next morning while lying down, it hurts a lot on my back, is it a herniated disc or cervical spondylosis or what? I began to think that the bed was too hard, and it still hurt to sleep on the back with a mattress, and it didn't hurt to sleep on the side, for three days in a row, Baidu said anything, what spondylitis also has, which brother has experience? Going to the hospital wastes a lot of time.
