Chapter five hundred and eighty second cap triple double
After halftime, the Pelicans led the Heat 56-33.
The defending champion was defeated.
During the intermission, Spoelstra sat in the coach's office, looking a little autistic.
You should know that last season, he had just led the team to win the championship, but now he is being beaten by the Pelicans like this.
This is really the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi.
He took out the technical statistics and started reading.
Without Bosh and James, it became very difficult for the Heat to score. The shooting percentage of the entire first half was only over 30%, and Wade, who scored the highest, only 12 points.
On the Pelicans, Tang Tian only contributed 12 points in the first half, but the performance of the two inside players was very eye-catching.
Whiteside scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Davis scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks.
This is the feeling of playing against the Pelicans Big Three.
He watched it for a long time.
Although he himself knew it would be difficult for the Heat to enter the playoffs this season, he was still unwilling to accept the championship just now.
He finally turned his attention to Whiteside.
Whiteside only made fouls twice in the first half, which is very different from last season and even the first game.
This is a point that can be used.
At this time, assistant coach Fitzdale knocked on the door and came in.
"David, we do that."
He called Fitzdale over and discussed tactical adjustments to the second half with him.
After returning from the break at halftime, the Heat's lineup was adjusted, and Sean Williams replaced Ennis as the starting small forward.
The mood of the fans at the scene declined compared to the first half, after all, they took a 15-minute break.
When the Heat came back in the second half, they attacked first.
After Qian Moss gave the ball to Wade, he then signaled to open up the space.
After pulling open, Anderson mentioned the pick-and-roll from the three-point line.
After disassembling, Wade faced Whiteside.
The Flash started to speed up to the basket, and then scored a layup after Whiteside.
With the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian shook away Williams's attack and made an advance.
Williams is a space-type forward, and his defensive ability is much weaker than Ennis.
However, Spoelstra didn't care on the sidelines, but just signaled Qian Mos to pay attention to assisting defense.
When the Heat reached the frontcourt, Anderson continued to pick and roll the three-point line, and Wade continued to play Whiteside in dislocation.
Tang Tian was pulled to the far end by Williams, and at this time he couldn't help but take a look at Spolstra.
This tactical intention is very obvious. It is to hit Whiteside, and it is possible to even make him foul.
Sure enough, Wade waited for Whiteside to take action after this breakthrough.
"Bang!"
But what was unexpected was that Whiteside gave Wade another big hat!
Cheers and whistles suddenly broke out at the scene.
The Pelicans really don't want them to rest!
Whiteside received his fifth block and took advantage of the situation to make another "strong" posture.
He is dedicated and skilled. In the past offseason, he has only practiced defense and control fouls, which has allowed him to make rapid progress in this regard.
As for opening the Blazers' foul issue, he was too anxious to prove himself.
Wade shook his head after being covered, and his knees had an increasing impact on him.
The Heat's sideline ball was sent out, and Wade broke through and saw Whiteside chasing, and turned around and stuffed it to McRoberts who followed.
McRoberts caught the ball and took the shot.
But Whiteside had turned around and the two had a fight in the air.
"Bang!"
Whiteside slapped his move back with his arm span.
Whiteside's 6th block in this game!
A new high in personal career!
After the ball was blocked, Ariza grabbed it, and the Pelicans fought back.
Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt, jumped up in the free throw line, squeezed Qian Moss out of the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The emotions of the fans on the scene reached their peak again!
Spoelstra stood blankly on the sidelines.
His tactical adjustment failed, and Whiteside's ability to control fouls has become much stronger. He is just a waste of effort when he fights like this.
Qianmos's throw in the frontcourt was then hit by Whiteside. While the latter got his seventh block in this game, it also proved that the Heat's tactical adjustment was completely failed.
However, Spoelstra has only a few cards in his hand this season. He became the second best friend after Carlisle, and watched the Heat lose as if he was defeated.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the defending champion Heat 106-84 in the home opening match, achieving two consecutive victories since the start of the game.
Wade scored the Heat's highest 22 points, but was still unable to make up for the situation.
On the Pelicans, Davis scored 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks, Tang Tian scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Holiday and Ariza each scored 13 points.
Whiteside performed bravely, and this game contributed a triple-double of 10 points, 12 rebounds and 11 blocks.
A triple double block!
He became the first player in the history of the Pelicans to unlock this achievement!
After the game, Whiteside was interviewed by a sideline reporter on the sidelines.
He looked very excited.
After a offseason, he finally played his worth.
Moreover, such performance is also the best response to the media's previous performance.
Tang Tian was chatting with NCAA's younger brother Napier at this time, and the Heat Big Three disintegration gave the latter a chance.
As the last rookie in the first round, he scored 22 minutes of playing time and also scored 10 points and 3 assists, and performed well.
At this moment, he glanced at Davis walking towards Whiteside in the outskirts.
He turned his head curiously.
Then he saw Davis quietly touching behind Whiteside with a smirk.
Then.
"Bang!"
He slapped Whiteside on the butt.
Whiteside was talking vigorously, and was photographed and turned around suddenly.
When he saw that it was Davis, he immediately started laughing and chatted for a few words.
The two have a good relationship, and Whiteside seems to be completely unwilling to be slapped in the buttocks.
Tang Tian smiled bitterly at this time, but he shook his head.
Davis is really bad!
I took photos of him before, and now I took photos of Whiteside, which is developing in the direction of Ginobili!
But to be honest, this may have something to do with Tang Tian.
If Tang Tian hadn't touched his head all day long, he probably wouldn't have thought of slapping other people's ass.
No, right! Duncan is the culprit!
After all, Tang Tian likes to touch his head and wants to take revenge on Duncan!
It’s this old guy who is almost retired and has spread this “bad habit” to others!
Back in the locker room, Whiteside was celebrated by his teammates with a champagne pour.
The Pelicans' atmosphere this season is even better than last season.
After the game, Tang Tian drove back to the villa.
When he entered the door, he heard a scream inside, thinking that his family had been thieves.
When I went in, I found that it was the little lion chasing the beautiful and short-sized room.
These two guys, Olson is not here, are really crazy.
However, the next scene caught Tang Tian off guard.
After the little lion caught up with Meishao, he pressed it directly on the ground and wanted to snap!
He hurried up to separate the two guys, and only then did he realize that Mei Kuang was panting and trembling, and looked very scared.
Obviously, they weren't really playing just now.
Tang Tian was a little bit big when he looked at the little lion again.
Chapter completed!
