Chapter 758 I Want the Pelicans to Regret It! (Third Update!)

Lu's answer at the press conference aroused heated discussion among fans.

Some fans compare him to Mike Brown. Both are good at interpersonal relationships, and their strategies are to delegate power to James.

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

After all, the Cavaliers coached by Brown were led by a single core, and now the Cavaliers are led by the Big Three plus a group of outstanding role players.

They can see just how far James can take a team like this.

The Cavaliers are in turmoil here, but the Pelicans continue their winning streak over there.

After defeating the Trail Blazers for the third time this season, they extended their winning streak to 17 games.

Tang Tian easily scored 30 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds, a near-triple-double.

In this period, the Pelicans play the Rockets, but the Cavaliers also play the Trail Blazers. In theory, it is a devilish schedule.

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

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

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

The Heat have performed surprisingly well this season. Their current record is behind the Cavaliers, Knicks and Raptors, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Whiteside's performance is indispensable, especially after losing the All-Star selection. He averaged 17.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, which is quite eye-catching.

The Pelicans' goal in this game is clear, which is to continue to expand their winning streak.

For the Heat, their goal is also quite clear, which is to defeat the Pelicans.

The Pelicans currently have the best record in the league. They are the public enemy of the league, and other teams will be proud to defeat them.

This is especially true for Whiteside.

He showed his worth in the Pelicans, but was left out in the playoffs, which was quite unwilling.

He will now seize every opportunity to get revenge on the Pelicans and prove his worth.

He spoke frankly in front of reporters during the Heat's open training session before the game.

"They gave up on me and I was going to make them regret that decision."

Whiteside's hateful eyes said it all.

The Pelicans also arranged a training session open to the public on game day.

Before the training session begins, the players change equipment in the locker room to prepare for training.

"Don, did you read that report? It was about Hassan."

Mikey came over with his cell phone and said.

"What report?"

Tang Tian rested early after practicing yesterday and didn't read 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 causing a war of words!"

His words attracted the other team members' glances.

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

Stephenson had just joined the team, and now he was asking questions around Bo Yang. He looked disdainful when he found out what happened.

Tang Tian just smiled helplessly after reading the news.

Whiteside has performed well for the Heat this season, but that performance has not improved his brain.

The help he gave him in the beginning was in vain.

The Pelicans held open workouts at the practice facility.

There were twice as many reporters present as when the Heat trained yesterday.

The Pelicans now have an outstanding record and are receiving unprecedented attention.

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

Most of the reporters' questions were about the game. After all, this is the first time the two teams have played against each other this season.

Tang Tian is well aware of Popovich's poisonous behavior and has constantly praised the Heat's season performance, calling them one of the most competitive teams in the Eastern Conference.

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

Tang Tian frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

He is not someone who likes to fight with words, and although Whiteside has a bad mind, he can be regarded as the person he brought out.

"That's a fool."

But at this moment, Stephenson suddenly appeared next to Tang Tian and said with disdain.

Tang Tian didn't speak, but Stephenson grabbed all the reporters' microphones.

"Without the Pelicans, how could he get such a big contract now? And he said he would make us regret it. We are now No. 1 in the league, only idiots would regret it!"

Stephenson's manner of speaking was rather rough.

Although there are power outages on the court from time to time, his emotional intelligence is actually not low off the court.

After hearing this, Tang Tian shook his head helplessly.

But Stephenson said what he wanted to say. Whiteside's brain is really bad.

Tang Tian doesn't like war of words, and the Pelicans didn't have this tradition before. Stephenson made up for it all at once.

The content of Stephenson's interview was reported before the game. Whiteside's eyes turned red after seeing it, as if he was bloodthirsty.

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

He knows he has talent, and even without Tang Tian and the Pelicans, it is inevitable for him to excel.

You are number one in the league, right? I am fighting to be number one in the league, and I just want to make you regret it!

The American Airlines Arena was packed.

The strong dialogue is worth watching, and the verbal battle between Whiteside and Stephenson makes the game even more interesting.

In the opening ceremony before the game, the starting players from both sides appeared one after another.

Both sides are regular lineups.

For the Heat, Dragic and Wade are on the outside, Luol Deng and McRoberts are on the forward line, and Whiteside is the center.

Whiteside made an iconic "strong" sign when he came out, which aroused the emotions of the fans at the scene.

The last three minutes of warm-up ended, and the starting players from both sides came on stage one after another.

Jump ball from Whiteside and Davis.

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

When the referee's whistle blew, Davis had an advantage in speed and took the lead to move the ball back to half court, giving the Pelicans the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

"Damn it!"

Whiteside failed to jump the ball and cursed.

His revenge failed.

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

McRoberts has three-pointers and is organized, and he matches up well with Whiteside, but his defense is a weakness and a breakthrough point for the Pelicans.

Wade was blocked by Davis, Tang Tian accelerated for a layup, and McRoberts obviously couldn't keep up.

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

From the corner of his eye, Tang Tian saw him collecting the ball in the air, and then passed a through ball to the center with his right hand.

Jokic rushed in from the three-point line.

He caught the ball and flew for a layup. Whiteside turned around and tried to block the shot but was too late to take action.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded to indicate Whiteside's foul.

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

This is a 2+1.

There was a commotion on the sidelines. Whiteside said he wanted revenge, but after the start, he lost a jump ball and was beaten 2+1. This didn't seem right!
