Lou's answer at the press conference sparked heated discussions among fans.

Some fans have compared him to Mike Brown, both of whom are good at relationships and whose strategy is to delegate power to James.

This has made many fans look forward to the next game of the Cavaliers.

After all, the Cavaliers coached by Brown at the beginning were single-core leaders, and the current Cavaliers are the Big Three plus a group of excellent role players.

They can see how far James can take a team like that.

The Cavaliers are in turmoil here, but the Pelicans are continuing their winning streak.

They extended their winning streak to 17 games after beating the Trail Blazers for the third time of the season.

Tang Tian easily cut down a quasi-triple-double of 30 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds.

This period where the Pelicans play the Rockets, but the Cavaliers also play the Trail Blazers, is theoretically a devil's schedule.

But Tang Tian's strength made them look stress-free.

With just over 20 games left in the season, the chances of them breaking the regular-season winning record are getting bigger and bigger.

The day after the game against the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans flew to Miami for their first meeting of the season against the Heat.

The Heat have had a surprising season, and they are now fourth in the East behind the Cavaliers, Knicks and Raptors.

Whiteside's performance contributed a lot, especially after losing the All-Star selection, he averaged 17.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, which was quite eye-catching.

The Pelicans' goal for this game is clear, which is to continue to extend the winning streak.

And for the Heat, their goal is quite clear, which is to beat the Pelicans.

The Pelicans now have the best record in the league, they are the public enemies of the league, and other teams will be proud to beat them.

This is especially true for Whiteside.

He played with the Pelicans, but he was hidden in the playoffs and was quite unwilling.

He's going to take every opportunity now to get revenge on the Pelicans and prove his worth.

In the Heat's open training session before the game, he spoke bluntly in front of reporters.

"They gave up on me, and I'm going to make them regret making that decision."

Whiteside's hateful look said it all.

The Pelicans also have a practice session open to the public on game day.

Before the training session began, the players were in the locker room to change their equipment and prepare for training.

"Don, did you read that report? Related to Hassan. ”

McGee leaned over with his phone and said.

"What report?"

Tang Tian rested early after practicing yesterday and didn't go to the news.

McGee didn't say much, and directly handed the phone to Tang Tian.

Tang Tianzheng was watching, and Bo Yang was already shouting over there.

"This Whiteside is in a war of words!"

His words drew sideways glances from the rest of the team.

Whiteside spent more than a season with the Pelicans and is a former teammate for many here.

Stephenson had just come to the team, and he came to Bojan's side to ask questions, and he looked disdainful after knowing the reason for the incident.

Tang Tian just smiled helplessly after reading the news.

Whiteside has had a good season with the Heat, but that hasn't changed his mind for the better.

All the help he had given him in the first place was in vain.

The Pelicans had an open training session at the training hall.

There were twice as many reporters in attendance as there were yesterday when the Heat practiced.

The Pelicans are on a great record right now, and the attention they are getting is unprecedented.

After the training, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

Most of the questions from reporters were about the game, after all, this was the first time the two teams met this season.

Tang Tian is well aware of Popovich's poisoned milk, and he has been constantly praising the Heat's season performance, saying that they are one of the most competitive teams in the East.

"What do you think of Whiteside's remarks? He said he would make you regret your decision to give him up. ”

Tang Tian frowned slightly, and did not answer immediately.

He's not a guy who likes to fight with words, and Whiteside, although he doesn't have a good brain, is still the one he brought out.

"That's a stupid X."

But at this moment, Stephenson suddenly appeared beside Tang Tian and said with a disdainful expression.

Tang Tian didn't speak, but Stephenson attracted all the reporter's microphones at once.

"Without the Pelicans, he could get that big a contract right now? He also said that he wanted to make us regret it, we are now the first in the league, and we will regret it when we are stupid! ”

Stephenson's way of speaking is rather rough.

Although the power is cut off from time to time on the field, his emotional intelligence off the field is actually not low.

Tang Tian shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

But Stephenson did say what he wanted to say, and Whiteside really didn't have a good brain.

Tang Tian didn't like to fight with words, and the Pelicans didn't have a tradition of this piece before, so Stephenson made up for it all at once.

The content of Stephenson's interview was reported before the game, and Whiteside's eyes were red and bloodthirsty when he saw it.

Since being hidden by the Pelicans in the playoffs, his thoughts have been completely different from before.

He knew that he had talent, and even if he didn't have Tang Tian and the Pelicans, it would be inevitable for him to play.

You're number one in the league, aren't you? I'm playing the number one in the league, and I just want to make you regret it!

The American Airlines arena was packed.

The strong dialogue was supposed to be worth watching, and the war of words between Whiteside and Stephenson made the game even more interesting.

At the opening ceremony before the game, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

Both sides are regular lineups.

On the Heat's side, Dragic and Wade on the outside, Ruel Deng and McRoberts on the front, and Whiteside at center.

Whiteside made a signature "strong" logo when he came out, which mobilized the emotions of the fans in the stadium.

The final three minutes of warm-up were over, and the starters from both sides came on one after another.

Whiteside and Davis' jump ball.

Whiteside glanced at Davis, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

When the referee's whistle blew, Davis had the advantage of bounce speed, jumped first and turned the ball back to the halfcourt, giving the Pelicans a chance to take the lead in attacking.

"Damn it!"

Whiteside failed to jump the ball and burst into a foul mouth.

His revenge is not good.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian held the ball to greet Davis' blocking.

McRoberts has three-point organization and is a good match for Whiteside, but his defense is a weakness and a breakthrough for the Pelicans.

Wade was blocked by Davis, Tang Tian accelerated to break through to the basket, and McRoberts obviously couldn't keep up.

At this moment, Whiteside released Jokic and directly recovered the basket and flew to block.

Tang Tianyu glanced at it, he collected the ball in the air, and then made a straight pass to the middle with his right hand.

Jokic came in just right from the three-point line.

He caught the ball and flew to the basket, and Whiteside turned to block but was too late to make a shot.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows for a foul on Whiteside.

Jokic showed his supple touch after the confrontation and continued to complete the shot to throw the ball into the basket.

It's a 2+1.

There was a restlessness on the sidelines, and Whiteside said that he wanted revenge, but after the opening, he jumped and lost and was beaten 2+1, which doesn't seem right!
