853: New Behemoth

Hassan. Whiteside! He flew Leonard's layup directly to the audience! Oh God, Leonard thought he had encountered a soft persimmon, only to have it hit a hard stone! ”

Hubi. Brown almost didn't scream in his throat, and next to him Mark. Jackson was so surprised that he lost his voice.

One is the rising successor to the Spurs, and the other is a 10-day contract that many fans can't even pronounce.

There is a huge gap between the identities of the two, and there is no comparison at all. It seems that there will be no suspense about the outcome of their duel.

But it was these two players who were completely incomparable, but they staged a scene that subverted everyone's imagination.

Leonard stared blankly at the audience, the basketball in his hand had just been fanned to that place. Usually only he would risk others like this, but this is the first time he has been bloodied like this!

Although Spurs No. 2 is still expressionless, he is actually no longer calm in his heart.

From the start of today's game to now, not a single minute has been smooth for him.

The opening was dangled by Link, and then he was defended by Link and hit the iron. After that, he was suppressed by Link on both offensive and defensive ends.

Now it's hard to survive the Grizzlies' weak interior defense, only to be blown off by a guy I don't know.....

It was definitely the most humiliating game Leonard has played so far this season, and it's just getting started.

Whether the situation will get worse after that is completely unknown!

In the past 11 games, it has been Leonard who tortures others. Today, however, he has become the object of torture.

Link excitedly walked up and high-fived Whiteside, so it doesn't matter if you're naΓ―ve or not, it's up to you how you guide.

Whiteside once paid the price for his arrogance, but now, having spent years in various lower leagues, he knows how to use his talents.

"Well done Hassan, I don't think anyone would dare to say that your rating is only 59 anymore."

"It's not over yet, Link, it's not over yet!" Whiteside is now full of confidence, but his strength is finally worthy of his self-confidence.

The Spurs returned to the sideline, and although they still had the offensive ball, the bloody shot from Whiteside just now still hit the confidence of the Spurs players.

That monster called Whiteside made the Grizzlies' bench interior intimidating in an instant, and just look at what he just did to Leonard, you know he's not something to mess with.

However, looking at Popovich, who now has a serious expression, the Spurs players can only bite the bullet and continue to attack the interior line as planned.

Annoyed the grumpy old man, and the result was much worse than being bloodied by Whiteside.

The Spurs reorganized their offense, and this time, the Spurs simply let Split go straight to the low post.

In the established plan, Split's current opponent should be Azeli, who is less than 2.10 meters tall. In this way, the Brazilian can take advantage of his height advantage.

But leaning close to Whiteside, Split's height advantage disappeared without a trace in an instant. After Whiteside raised his arms high under the basket, Split couldn't even see the basket!

But the Brazilian didn't give up, and he kept telling himself that there was nothing to be afraid of as a short-term job playing in the Development League.

He's the starting center for the Spurs, and he can't be worse than a development league imp!

So, Split jerked back, ready to hook his hand.

But in the inside hand-to-hand fight, Split found that he couldn't take advantage of it at all. His strength, his ability to fight, is no stronger than Whiteside!

Split's self-confidence began to waver, and when an NBA starter-caliber player couldn't handle a development league player, he was bound to fall into self-doubt.

In the end, Split chose to make a strong layup, thinking that no matter how bad it was, he could make Whiteside a foul.

But Whiteside didn't jump rashly, he just stood there with his arms raised. With a height of 2.13 meters and an arm span of 2.31 meters, even if he is clubbed under the basket like this, it is enough to make it difficult for Split.

The Brazilian misses a layup under Whiteside's hard interference, and Whiteside successfully protects the basket for the second time in a row!

When Split opted to single Whiteside, Link was actually a little worried. After all, Whiteside's current low-post single defense is not so masterful.

In training yesterday, he was scored three goals in a row by Gasol and was fouled a lot. Whiteside wanted to block too much, so he always acted impulsively.

He is now similar to Marcus in his prime. Camby, the help defense block is good-looking, but the low-post single defense ability is not as strong as it seems.

But today, Whiteside was surprisingly calm. Perhaps, the guy listened to what he was saying to him.

Link has stressed more than once since yesterday that he should not do anything superfluous. There's no doubt that Whiteside took Link's advice to heart.

After successfully disrupting Split's layup, Whiteside jumped up as quickly as if he had a spring on the bottom of his foot and pocketed the rebound.

Spurs substitute No. 4 Austin. Daye is also ready to come up and cut the ball, wanting to bully and bully this NBA rookie. But after Whiteside grabbed the rebound, he immediately held the ball with both hands and waved his iron elbow, which is very experienced in protecting the ball.

Daye did not dare to approach when he saw this, so he had to retreat honestly.

The Spurs' plan to attack the interior has failed again!

The monster in the No. 21 jersey showed his dominance on the inside. The Spurs players discovered that the newcomer on the Grizzlies interior was not a lamb to the slaughter, but a dragon!

With fire in his mouth and powerful arms at his disposal, he slew all the warriors who tried to break into his "cave".

"Whiteside protected the rebound, and I think the Grizzlies signing was a very successful one. So far, at least, he hasn't allowed the Spurs to take advantage of the interior. The game continues, and it's time for the Grizzlies to fight back. ”

Popovich was not calm, and he found that his plan for the day had not succeeded.

Lock up Link with Leonard, fail.

Taking advantage of Gasol's break, he blew up the Grizzlies' interior line and failed.

The Spurs' two biggest strengths failed to play to their strengths, which made Popovich nervous.

Link held the ball again, and Leonard faced Link's ball-handling offense, as uncertain as his coach.

He didn't know how to choose the distance between him and Link, who could find an opportunity in any situation.

Link didn't call for cover this time, but alternated his left and right hands on the dribble, trying to break through with the ball himself.

Meanwhile, Jimmy. Butler cut in from the right and drew some of the Spurs' defensive attention.

At this moment, Link suddenly accelerated, carrying Leonard and pushing hard.

The confrontation between the two was very fierce, and the collision between the bodies was very powerful.

But both Leonard and Link have withstood the impact of each other. Leonard did not lose his position, remained around Link, and Link was not forced to stop, and the confrontation between the two was addicted to the fans.

Seeing Link getting closer and closer to the basket, Split did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to make up for the defense. He stood under the basket with his arms raised and waited for Link to bump into him!

Link suddenly threw the ball close to the basket, and everyone thought that Link was forced to have no choice but to force the shot.

It looked like Link's throw was already crooked. Also, with the double interference of Leonard and Split, it is difficult for even Link to score easily.

Just as Split was about to protect the rebound, he saw Whiteside behind him jump into the air like a dry onion!

Link threw the ball high to avoid Split's arms. Normally, this kind of ball cannot be an empty pass, because no one can catch it.

But Whiteside straightened his long arm and grabbed the pass in the air that Split thought was impossible!

Whiteside gritted his teeth, his forearms almost all over the basket. Don't forget, this is a guy who can outperform most opponents in slippers.

The ball was really high, but Whiteside tried desperately to catch it.

He remembered the time he played with Link yesterday, and the self in the game who couldn't even catch up.

He's not trying to beat Split or scoring for the first time with the Grizzlies, he's trying to prove that my air catch is not that low, give me the ability to lift, the ability to rise!

Grabbing the basketball, Whiteside pressed the ball into the frame as his body fell with his arm as he slammed it into the box!

"Boom!" The hoop made a loud noise, and the entire basketball hoop made a "creaking" sound as a result.

Link and Whiteside's extreme air catch, on the contrary, gave the Grizzlies an advantage on the Spurs inside!

"Terrible heights, Whiteside's dunk is so powerful! On the Grizzlies, there's never been such a hot interior line! "Hubby. Brown was covered in goosebumps, a kind of coordination that is not common in grizzly bears.

Although the "Black and White Bears" are both the league's top interior players, neither Randolph nor Gasol are "jumping men" with strong athletic ability.

As a result, Link rarely completes such an air-to-receive match with his interior teammates.

But this time, the appearance of Whiteside changed the pattern of the Grizzlies' interior line.

When it comes to the Grizzlies' interior in the future, people will think of more than just Gasol's delicate technique and Randolph's superb face-frame offense.

Whiteside's wildness will add a new twist to the Grizzlies' fearsome interior line!

Whiteside roared in the sky and thumped hard into his chest. Split was originally used by Popovich to bully the Grizzlies inside, but now he is being bullied to the point that he has no way to fight back.

Link deliberately passed in front of Popovich as he retreated, and greeted the old man, "How is it?" Have you found an edge on the inside? ”

This time, in the face of Link's provocation, Popovich could no longer show the confident gaze as before.

The Grizzlies' new behemoth has destroyed the Spurs' last hope of victory.
