Chapter 50: Whiteside Whiteside (3/5)
The young man who replaced Cousins at the moment is tall and skinny, and his name is Hassan Waitside, perhaps only a few fans who follow the Kings know that this young man was drafted in the second round in 2010, and only played one game off the bench last season.
But Yuan Shu, who came through it, knew that the young man in front of him would soon occupy his place in the league, and in Yuan Shu's time and space, this guy would join the Heat next season and contribute a double-double of 11+10, becoming the new inside gate of the Heat!
I almost forgot about this character! Yuan Shu couldn't help but think of the current Kings team, in the case of the team mainly training Cousins to play center, Waitside has no development opportunities, and because of this, he will have the idea of leaving the team, thinking of this, Yuan Shu can't help but want to pull this young man to his side.
At present, the team's center position is only Anderson Vallejo who plays better, and Vallejo has a very rich injury history, if Waitside can join the Cavaliers, then it will be a situation for the Heat, and the Cavaliers' interior can also be a strong complement.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but nodded.
Of course, Yuan Shu's thoughts can't be told to anyone else, after all, his "experience" is not something that everyone can understand.
"Hey, Anderson, there's a rookie up, and the next round is yours." When Owen and Vallejo ran past Yuan Shu, Owen smiled and said to Vallejo.
Yuan Shu, who wanted to open his mouth to remind Valejo, was just about to speak, but he still forced the words back into his stomach, and in Yuan Shu's heart, he also wanted to see what kind of level Waitside would play when he faced Vallejo.
The Cavaliers opened the game with a 6-2 run and Cousins forced off the floor, and the team's nerves seemed to relax a little.
Irving really hoisted the ball into the hands of Vallejo, who was carrying Wiseside and occupied the three-second zone inside, and Vallejo changed hands directly after receiving the ball, hooking the ball to the basket.
"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Vallejo's ball was just shot, and Whiteside, who was standing behind him, jumped high and slapped the ball out with his long exaggerated arms and big hands!
The basketball that was played was picked up by the quick-eyed Leonard, who shook the opposing Thorton up with a false shot and smashed it into the basket, straight to the "nameless man" who had just blocked Valejo.
Compared to Vallejo, Leonard's breakthrough impact under the basket poses a lot of threat, facing Wiseside who is defending frontally, Leonard takes off under the basket, changes hands in the air, switches the ball to the other hand, and flies from one side of the basket to the other side, trying to avoid Wiseside's block and make a reverse layup.
Just when the audience was about to cheer for the goal, Whiteside suddenly appeared behind Leonard, and with a fierce lunge, he slapped the ball on the rebound with one hand, causing a burst of exclamations from the audience.
Waitside held the ball for the second block tightly in his arms and looked around him vigilantly to prevent a Cavaliers player from stealing the ball.
"Yes, you can see from these two blocks that this is a very potential mobile defensive interior." The voice of Carl Malone in Yuan Shu's body suddenly sounded in Yuan Shu's mind.
"You still need to say this, I already knew." Yuan Shu couldn't help but think to himself, it seems that Whiteside in this time and space still has two brushes.
After Cousins got off the court, the team's scoring champion Thorton naturally took over the offensive banner, facing the young man in front of him who was agile, Thorton dribbled the ball to the right side and suddenly jumped, ready to shoot in the air, but he didn't expect that the young man named Leonard in front of him was unexpectedly fast, and instantly stretched out the big hand of the defense, so that Thorton had to change the rhythm of shooting and hurriedly threw the ball.
The ball smashed on the side of the basket and bounced high, and sure enough, it didn't hit, Vallejo occupied an excellent position under the basket, and was about to jump again when the ball fell into his control, when he suddenly found that a figure on his left back suddenly appeared, outside his control in the air, he got the ball with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket!
And the one who scored this dunk was Wiseside, who had just sent two consecutive blocks on the defensive end!
"Well done, White Edge." Yuan Shu couldn't help but praise the big young man, and said softly when Whiteside ran past him.
But to Yuan Shu's surprise, Whiteside seemed to be startled when he heard Yuan Shu's voice, glanced at Yuan Shu in horror, and then immediately checked his ball pants, looked back and forth several times, and then said a sentence that almost choked Yuan Shu to death: "Yuan, how do you know that I am wearing white-edged underwear today!" ”
Yuan Shu was silent, and Ma Long in his body even mocked at this moment: "You dead glass!" ”
Whiteside's two consecutive offensive and defensive performances have to be quite impressive, which also caught the attention of Kings coach Paul Westfale. Yuan Shuxin, who saw it in his eyes, was not good, if Whiteside was allowed to play at a high price this season, then whether it was a direct signing or a player trade, the Cavaliers would pay a lot more chips.
"It's not easy, you can't blow him up." seemed to see through Yuan Shu's thoughts, Ma Long said to Yuan Shu in his mind.
"That's it!" Yuan Shu felt that Ma Long's idea was quite reasonable.
Irving broke through the ball to find Anthony Parker, who hit Evans' defense in the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer but missed.
Vallejo tried to grab the offensive rebound, but was stuck behind by Waitside.
Seeing that the ball was about to be controlled by Whiteside, this time it was stolen by Yuan Shu of the Cavaliers, and in the same way as the king just now, he jumped high, held the ball in the air with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!
Yuan Shu, who scored the goal, behaved very easily, as if telling Whiteside whose territory it is!
After the Kings' Evans broke through and missed the shot, the Cavaliers' Irving went on a fast break, Yuan Shu and Leonard went left and right, but the Kings only had Thomas and Thorton to defend, and the Cavaliers formed a 3-on-2 situation.
Owen broke through the middle with the ball, and after attracting the attention of the opponent, he made a ground-hitting pass and passed the ball just right from the two players of the Kings defense to Yuan Shu's hand!
After Yuan Shu held the ball in one hand, he raised the ball high with his right hand, took off after running, raised his left hand to his ear when he was in the air, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!
"I feel like I'm seeing... Postman Malone! An old fan sitting in the front row of the audience stopped eating the hamburger, completely ignoring the cream on his lips, and said dumbfounded.
