Seeing Smith confronting him, Whiteside's eyes suddenly became extremely serious.

He is not an unknown person. He played for a year at Marshall University, averaging 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.35 blocks and three blocks and triple-double.

In the draft that year, he thought he should have made a lottery.

And even if the draft pick is not as expected, he is the third player to be selected in the second round.

It’s just a pity that the team that selected him was the King, the turbulent team that didn’t know how to train young players at all.

And in that team, he lost to a player who was cut the next day in the one-time fight when he decided on playing time.

That was the beginning of his nightmare.

After that, he had few chances to play in the Kings and was delegated several times, and was eventually cut off and went to play in the overseas league...

So when he has such a one-on-one opportunity, he really attaches great importance to it.

Even if he is not very smart, he will not want to fall twice in the same place.

Jason Smith frowned slightly when he saw Whiteside's look.

This kind of look that seems to be trying to blow your eyes at any time is a bit unpleasant.

Although he lost his starting position, he was still a rotating NBA player, not comparable to a wandering player like Whiteside.

The rule of a one-on-one challenge is very simple. With five goals, the person who scores will continue to have the ball rights.

What the coaching staff needs to look for is players with strong defensive ability, so Smith attacks first at the start of the singles.

Smith is 2.13 meters tall like Whiteside, but his weight is 110 kilograms, which is about 10 kilograms heavier than White's current season.

This will give him a very advantage when fighting at the basket.

The assistant sent the ball to Smith, who directly held the ball and hit it with the back.

Whiteside's confrontation didn't look very good and was quickly confronted by Smith to the basket.

Smith suppressed Whiteside's move.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, something that everyone did not expect happened.

Whiteside, who was still sinking his center of gravity the next second, gave Smith a big hat that hit the head.

Smith was a little unresponsive after being cheated.

Whiteside roared after blocking the shot, and he was very domineering.

This surprised Williams and Demps.

Although I had known from the information that Whiteside's block was pretty good, the speed of the bounce just now was much faster than they thought.

Williams turned around and smiled at Tang Tian.

He suddenly felt that Tang Tian's words were very timely.

Otherwise, they would really be missing a firefighter.

Tang Tian nodded to Williams with a smile.

Whiteside's performance didn't surprise him too much.

Just talking about blocking, Whiteside is S-class.

The ball rights exchange between the two sides.

Whiteside attacks Smith.

It was at this moment that his disadvantages emerged.

His offensive methods are really scarce.

As a big insider, there is no offensive skills like back or even hooking.

It's just holding the ball in, which is a completely Howard-like style of play.

But due to his weight, the embarrassing thing is that he can't beat Smith...

As a result, after one round, he exerted too much force and lost the ball directly.

Williams shook his head at this time. It was obvious that Whiteside's ability to hold the ball was zero, and he was a typical insider.

Smith was a little confused after being shot, but after turning around to defend the next goal, his confidence came back completely.

Before, it was just him who was careless. With this offensive technique, how could he play in the NBA?

He continued to chisel in as he received the assistant's serve.

Whiteside was still too sluggish on the top.

This time he was obviously prepared and he took action after he was sure to completely hit Whiteside.

"Bang!"

In Smith's incredible eyes, Whiteside took the initiative and slapped him again!

Williams' eyes lit up.

Whiteside's blocking ability is a bit perverted.

In that position, it was actually covered!

It was at this moment that he was attracted by the green face that he realized that Whiteside's arm span was also excellent.

This man is a natural cap blocker.

However, Whiteside's offensive skills were still rough, and Smith defended him again.

If his block is S-level, then this offense is probably a C.

This is too obvious.

Williams was very excited, but Tang Tian frowned slightly.

Defense is not just blocking, Whiteside's overall defense is not good.

This is probably the reason why he can't play in the NBA but can rage in the NBL league.

Sure enough, Smith ate Whiteside with his footsteps, and Whiteside's blocked shot hitter this time.

Their single-match lasted for more than ten minutes, and was finally stopped by Williams.

Because there were no free throws for fouls and no limit on the number of fouls, the scores of the two have always been 0-0, and no one can get 1 point above the opponent's head.

Williams asked Smith to go back first, then brought Tang Tian to join him, and discussed with Demps and Borrego whether to keep someone.

Whiteside stared at them in the distance.

"The independent offensive ability is zero, and the overall defensive ability is average, but if it increases to about 105 kg, it should be able to stand in the penalty area, but you need to learn how to avoid defense."

As a coach who trains players, Williams has a very accurate view of people and his analysis is also very good.

"But he has good physical fitness, can catch balls, dunks and grab second boards, and has outstanding blocking ability. If he can handle fouls, it is not impossible to average 2 blocks per game."

Williams' second sentence exposed his insider's idea. He probably wanted Whiteside very much.

"This is a blocked version of Akinsa with weak offensive capabilities."

Williams' final summary is quite good.

“And younger.”

Tang Tian didn't say anything, and he added until Williams finished speaking.

But this sentence is enough.

Youth is potential, you can take your skills slowly, but physical talent and blocking ability are born.

Demps nodded after hearing Williams and Tang Tian’s opinions.

The Pelicans are now weak inside and many players cannot play, so change is necessary.

Moreover, the team now has several unsecured contracts, so it doesn’t have to pay too much if they lay off signing people.

After the conversation was over, Borrego would inform Whiteside to bring his agent to the team to discuss the contract tomorrow.

“yes!”

Whiteside shouted excitedly.

After playing overseas for so long, he finally had the chance to play in the NBA again!

"Dell, what kind of contract are you going to give him?"
Chapter completed!
