Chapter 557 Pelican Twin Towers (First Update!)
There was loud cheers at the scene.
With a supplementary dunk at the beginning, Whiteside looked very excited tonight!
After the dunk, Whiteside hung on the basket with one hand for a while, and after landing, he raised his hands and made a "strong" gesture.
He is really holding back his energy to play this game.
"Defend! Defend!"
This supplementary deduction ignited the emotions of the fans.
It was just the beginning, and they spontaneously cheered for the Pelicans.
Wade took the ball and gave it to Mike Roberts, who flew to the layup.
Anderson stuck Whiteside under the basket, but he somewhat underestimated Whiteside's confrontation.
When Whiteside first came to the Pelicans, he was only about 100kg, but this summer he has gained weight and muscle, and his confrontation has obviously improved to a higher level.
As soon as he exerted his strength, he directly squeezed Anderson away and moved towards McRoberts to defend.
"boom!"
The moment Mike Roberts made a shot, he slapped his horse and rushed over, chasing the hot pot and flying the ball out of the court!
The shouts at the scene suddenly exploded into cheers.
Whiteside's opening performance tonight is really different from the last one!
This reminds many fans of him in the preseason.
If he can really perform that kind of performance in the regular season, then the inside combination of him and Davis is really a terrifying no-fly zone.
Throwin for the Heat.
This time it was Mike Roberts who held the ball high.
Mike Roberts performed well for the Bobcats last season and is a striker who can organize.
Wade cuts to the hoop and flies to the basket on a pass from Mike Roberts.
Whiteside made a block.
But Wade is not Mike Roberts. Although he is old, he is still strong, and he directly pulls the lever in the air to dodge and layup.
Just then, something amazing happened.
Whiteside quickly took off for the second time at the moment of landing, and rushed towards Wade's back basket with his left hand.
"boom!"
Another hot pot!
The eyes of the fans at the scene widened.
This, what a hot pot feast!
And the key is that the person who covered it was Wade!
Spoelstra frowned now.
Whiteside's bullet speed is amazing.
Last season, because Whiteside fouled a lot and basically played as a substitute, he didn't feel much.
But after an offseason, the Pelicans' internal strength has obviously risen to a higher level.
Whiteside scored two hot pots in a row, and the Heat didn't dare to rush to the basket anymore. Chalmers made a three-pointer from the outside.
But the ball didn't go in.
The Pelicans have great defensive deterrence in the penalty area, and they can expand the defense line without any worries.
In this case, it will be difficult for the Heat to score three-pointers.
Whiteside stuck Anderson under the basket and used his excellent wingspan to receive the defensive rebound.
He was really in good shape tonight. In the first few rounds, he had all the statistics of points, rebounds, and blocks.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian went straight to Whiteside for a pick-and-roll.
After taking it apart, he walked out and made a lob pass to go in.
Whiteside caught the ball inside and faced Ennis, and made a hard chisel with his back.
Ennis didn't hold back, and if he tried to exert more force, Whiteside had already jumped up.
"boom!"
Another heavy dunk with both hands.
This guy is going crazy tonight!
After the dunk, Whiteside was quite refreshed and let out a venting roar for a while.
Tang Tian was also in a good mood.
The defensive and offensive power of Whiteside's penalty area already has the shadow of the Heat's peak.
He finally doesn't have to take four belts like last season.
4 to 0.
The point difference on the field is not too big, but the pressure on the Heat is extremely high.
Although the gap between the strengths of the two teams can be seen on paper, the gap feels even bigger after the fight.
They somewhat understood why the Trail Blazers were beaten so badly.
Wade made a throw after the breakthrough, which broke the scoring drought for the Heat and saved some face for the defending champion.
Looking back, the Heat's defense shrunk in.
They were dunked twice by Whiteside, and they were a little afraid.
Tang Tian turned to Ganba after shaking Ennis away.
"Boom!"
The shot was a bit off.
But Whiteside jumped high inside and dialed the ball out again!
Tang Tian got the ball and then pulled it out.
"Shua!"
This time his attack pierced his heart into the net.
Whiteside is in hot form tonight, he can shoot casually from the outside!
Wade made another breakthrough throw in the frontcourt, and Whiteside covered the sky with one hand, and he was forced to increase the arc of his shot.
The ball went over Whiteside's defense, but lost its angle and bounced off the front.
Davis recovered the basket and protected the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans have more than Whiteside inside!
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian suddenly gave Ariza a three-pointer.
"boom!"
The basketball bounced high on the back edge.
Anderson stuck Whiteside tightly under the basket to prevent him from taking off.
The Heat lost enough defensive rebounds tonight.
But at this moment, Davis threw off Mike Roberts, flew to the basket and scored a tip!
8 to 2!
Whiteside's fiery opening performance attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Heat, which gave Davis a chance!
In the Heat's offense, Wade's sudden point attracted a double-team and a pass to Anderson under the basket.
Anderson takes a dribble and prepares to dunk.
But Whiteside's recovery speed is very fast, and he has returned to the defensive position under the basket.
Anderson failed to dunk after the confrontation, holding the ball and trying to get up again.
"boom!"
Davis came back from the defense and slapped his racket out of the court.
Another block for the Pelicans!
In just three minutes, they have sent out 3 hot pots!
The eyes of the fans at the scene were all straight.
After Whiteside covered Davis, the Pelicans' performance on the inside defensive end was too brutal!
They couldn't see it in the last game because of Whiteside's foul problem. This time, they have seen it!
The Heat's sideline ball was sent out, Ennis missed a three-pointer from the outside, and their offense returned in vain again.
In the confrontation between Whiteside and Anderson at the basket, Davis received another defensive rebound.
The Pelicans attack in the frontcourt.
The Heat's defense is still shrinking.
Tang Tian asked Davis to play a pick-and-roll. After he opened it, he rushed in, and after further forcing the Heat to shrink the defense, he returned the ball to Davis near the free throw line.
Davis made another shot from the middle distance.
"Shua!"
This time he seized the opportunity and made a steady hit from the middle distance.
10 to 2!
Spoelstra was forced to call a timeout.
When the timeout ended, the fans cheered and whistled one after another.
They only had Tang Tian last season, but now, they still have Davis and Whiteside!
The two insiders of the Pelicans are strong offensive and defensive, and they feel like twin towers!
Tang Tian was also in a good mood at this time.
The Pelicans in history had the twin-tower combination of Davis and Cousins, which was once called the strongest inside combination in league history by fans.
Now Cousins is not here, but Whiteside and Davis, the offense is weaker, but the defense is stronger, and the twin towers are not weak!
ps: I don’t have any pain before going to bed at night, but when I wake up lying down, my back hurts the next morning. Is this a lumbar disc herniation or cervical spondylosis or something? At first I thought it was because the bed was too hard. I added a mattress and my back still hurts. Sleeping on my side doesn’t hurt. It’s been three days in a row. Baidu has everything you need to know, including spondylitis. Does anyone have experience? Going to the hospital wasted a lot of time.
Thanks for the reward of Ninth Grade Twenty-Two.
